Nārada Bhakti Sūtras / The means
The means
Summary
Sūtras (सूत्र) 34 to 50 are the means. The teachers sing them. Renunciation, company, solitude, singing, and the offering of the self are among the words the lines use. A line that names a practice names it. The sitting stops at the sentence. The group ends by tying the means back to the love defined at the start.
नेपालीमा
सूत्र ३४ देखि ५० साधन हुन्। गुरुहरूले तिनलाई गाउँछन्। त्याग, सङ्गत, एकान्त, गान र आत्माको अर्पण पङ्क्तिले प्रयोग गर्ने शब्दमध्ये हुन्। अभ्यासको नाम लिने पङ्क्तिले त्यसको नाम लिन्छ। बैठक वाक्यमा रोकिन्छ। समूह साधनलाई सुरुमा परिभाषित प्रेमसँग जोडेर टुङ्गिन्छ।
