Can't bring myself to read ML theory recently so pivoting to sadhana (again). My inner bhakta is very happy. Gyana says "inquire, understand, detatch", bhakti says, "love, go mad, detatch." Both are not mutually exclusive; they are dialectical. You can't sustain gyana or karma yogas without bhakti; and without gyana or karma yogas, bhakti yoga becomes self-indulgent. Swami Vivekananda taught this as well.

The format of poem -> exegesis on poem is probably my favorite format in these sorts of texts. That's why this book reminds me of The Ascent of Mount Carmel so much.

Essentially — how to attain moksha through the path of bhakti, or devotion to God. The way it is written is intentionally agnostic, so Narada's teachings can be applied quite universally. The commentary is quite good; I just wish it wasn't so verbose where it didn't need to be, but eh, preferences.
