NĀMA-TATTVA
The Ontology of Bhāva, Divine Love
Being a compendium of quotations from revealed scriptures
concerning the truths about the cult of Chaitanya Mahāprabhu
Compiled under the authority and direction of
His Divine Grace
Bhaktisiddhānta Sāraswāti Goswāmī
Prabhupada
Translated and edited, with original Sanskrit and Bengali and Roman transliteration by
B. V. Mahāyogi, Michael Dolan
The Definition of Bhāva
१८.१
शुद्ध-सत्त्व-विशेषात्मा प्रेम सूर्यांशु- साम्यभाक्
रुचिभिश्-चित्तत्मा सृण्यकृद्-असौ भाव उच्यते
18.1
śuddha-sattva-viśeṣātmā prema sūryāṁśu- sāmyabhāk
rucibhiś-cittatmā sṛṇyakṛd-asau bhāva ucyate
As bhakti develops beyond the stage of ruci, and the heart, mind, and intellect are softened by divine love, one comes to the stage known as bhāva-bhakti. This transcendental stage is beyond the modes of material nature, and is saturated
with the qualities of śuddha-sattva: transcendental goodness. At that time one's heart becomes illuminated like the sun, for bhāva- bhakti is like a ray of premabhakti.
