I have some questions. 1. What is madhurya bhav? Is it supposed to be the relationship between a girl and boy? And why does Maharaj Ji say this is the highest bhav? 2. Also, sometimes Maharaj Ji says you can choose whatever bhav you want; but several other times, he says you must do madhurya bhav only. I have seen this in a few videos where He says madhurya bhav hi karna hai. 3. Why do the bhavs exist in such separate, concrete forms? Like friend only or servant only or parent only? I can’t pinpoint my bhav. It doesn’t fit under any category. And the description of these categories is based on typical stereotypes. How are they defined and how do I know what I fit under? Please explain. Thanks.
