Text 47] Life’s Ultimate Goal 27
PURPORT
In Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu, sthayi-bhava, permanent ecstasy, is thus described:
aviruddhdan viruddharns ca
bhavan yo vasatam nayan
su-rajeva virajeta
sa sthayi bhava ucyate
sthayi bhavo ‘tra sa proktah
sri-krsna-visayd ratih
These moods (bhavas) bring under control the favorable ecstasies (such as
laughing) and unfavorable ecstasies (such as anger). When these continue to
remain as kings, they are called sthdyi-bhava, or permanent ecstasies. Continuous
ecstatic love for Krsna is called permanent ecstasy.
