Guest guest Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord Prema is the absence of hate, absence of dislike and prejudice; it also means the positive virtues of sympathy and affection, so that you grieve when others grieve and exult when they are happy. God has four qualities and it is only when you cultivate them that you can understand Him. They are: Divine Love (prema), Beauty (soundarya), Sweetness (maadhurya) and Splendour (shobha). The development of prema is enough to add unto you the other three. When you are so full of love for the Divine in all creation, that stage is beauty; when you are immersed in the sea of Universal Love you reach the acme of sweetness; when your mind loses its identity and merges in the Universal Mind, then there is splendour indescribable.
