Significance of Distaste

In Vaishnavism, distaste is defined as a feeling experienced when contrasting the beauty of Radha with the moon and blue lotus, as well as a sense of aversion linked to mixed emotions. In Mahayana Buddhism, distaste, or nirveda, emerges from contemplating the impermanence of life, prompting individuals to pursue a higher spiritual state. Each tradition highlights the complexities of emotional responses and their impact on one's spiritual journey.
