Kama (kAma)
Kama : Desire : Kamaha Kamakrut Kanta Kamah Kamapradah Prabhuh Vishnuh : Vishnu Sahasranama :
Bhishma in Vishnu Sahasranamam tells us that Vishnu is
- kAmahA – the one who destroys desire and kAmakRt – the one who causes it.
- he is kAntah – the one we desire
- kAmah – the desire itself
- and kAmapradah – the one who gives us what we desire!
My Veda Guru says that it is Vishnu we seek when we desire anything. Once we get the Bhagavad-Tatva (Divine essence) from any thing – even dinner for eg, we lose interest in it.
Like kids on the beach we pick up each shell and see – is this it? and throw it away once we know that this piece isn’t it.
