VERSE 18-37 MS 37

CHAPTER 18,
PATH OF LIBERATION AND RENUNCIATION,
VERSE LIB 37

GIST
The experience which in course of practice and review becomes comfortable, which frees itself from the pangs of the family and the mundane. (LIB 36). -- which first looks poisonous, later becomes nectar like, which is born out of a pure intellect of spirituality, such comfort is Satvika. (LIB 37).

BLOGGER'S VIEW
Satvika or Satva is a composite quality of strength + restraint.
This verse discusses the effects of Strength+restraint rather than the main characteristics. Satva is a human trait.

NEAREST contextual AXIOM
Sweet are the uses of adversity.

Yat tadagree visham iva parin`aamee amrutoopamam
