Summary

The Bhakti Sutras were written by Narada, who is a sage of cosmic dimensions and who appears throughout classic Hindu spiritual literature going back thousands of years. These sutras are a collection of 84 phrases or aphorisms designed to lead one up the mountain path of spiritual devotion. Each is like a flower strung on a common thread.

Bhakti (love for the Beloved) is the highest pinnacle of any spiritual endeavor. Unlike other paths, it is a wholly selfless path in which the practitioner is unconcerned with personal gain or spiritual goals. The goal is simply to love God. In this path, one experiences the bliss of the divine from the very outset. As Ramakrishna says, God’s devotees are invited into the living room of God’s heart from the very beginning, while others have to wait outside until the very end. Bhakti is the simplest, easiest, most satisfying and most expedient path to the divine.

Commentary and parallel quotes from other teachers have been provided by Ethan Walker. Come walk in God’s spiritual garden and smell the roses of divine love!
