艢谤墨 Bhaktived膩nta Gau岣嵞珁a 惭补峁环补 Sannyas Marg, Kankhal 贬补谤颈诲惫腻谤补 (U.P.) 27/8/1989

碍补濒测腻峁嚹珁腻蝉耻鈥�

Dear鈥斺��! 鈥� I am healthy at present. Do not even worry about this. I understood you were very happy to partake of 尘补丑腻辫谤补蝉腻诲补 and 艣谤墨 cara峁嘺-迟耻濒补蝉墨. The debt of transcendental love can truly never be repaid. Never is it possible to clear the debt to 艣谤墨 guru and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉. One must repay the debt of love with love.

Previously, if I went to your village, I would stay for eight to ten days. I had time then. At present, the number of sons, daughters, grandsons, and granddaughters have increased, so I am tormented by worries and lack of time: 鈥�bahu suta 蝉耻迟腻 janama labhilo, marame hainu hata^[1] 鈥搈any sons and daughters were born, and I became distressed at heart.鈥� Presently I am unstable due to suffering and worry. In my old age, who will serve me, who will feed me, who will help me dress? That is the concern! If I were to ask, you would perhaps answer: 鈥淗ow will we render direct service as women?鈥� You probably receive most of my handwritten letters. But how will I give you the opportunity of direct 诲补谤艣补苍补? It is by love, fondness, and possessive attachment that a human being can keep very close even that which is far away from him. Try to gain some peace of mind by adopting precisely that sort of [loving] means. The instructions of guru and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉, which generate auspiciousness for the soul, constitute our great welfare and our cherished object. We must carry that in our hearts in every respect.

Many of us speak of offering ourselves at 艣谤墨 guru鈥檚 lotus feet, but do we really offer our souls? 

All of the 蝉腻诲丑补办补蝉鈥� and 蝉腻诲丑颈办腻蝉鈥� pride and arrogance is dispelled by surrendering their souls.

鈥淗aving surrendered my soul at Your feet, I have become supremely joyful. Sadness has gone far away, worries no longer remain, and I see bliss in all four directions. Your two feet are the basis of freedom from sorrow, fear, and death. Now, gaining rest there, I have discarded the fear of material existence.鈥� 

This is the real result of full surrender, or submission of the soul. Despite surrendering everything to 艢谤墨 Hari, guru, and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉, we keep the key to the iron safe for ourselves. This is not called real surrender or acceptance of renunciation. Scriptures state that the surrendered and the renounced have the same characteristics. 

The real surrendered souls and actual renunciates are those who have no one on this Earth other than 艣谤墨 guru and 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍.

鈥淥ne can never grasp guru-tattva and bhagavat-tattva by one鈥檚 own meagre intelligence or by studying scripture.鈥� 

What you said is true. 

Only if one obtains the causeless compassion of guru and 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 does one gain competence in all matters.

鈥淚 give that transcendental knowledge by which they attain Me.鈥� 

This is the special 补诲丑颈办腻谤补 (qualification) afforded by gaining that which is beyond all the senses.

Whatever is seen or experienced in dreams or deep sleep all has two aspects. In dreams, two things can be seen: good and bad. As long as the mind is not fixed upon that which is beyond the senses, or supramundane, one only experiences the two elements of good and bad. When one becomes established in actual truth, then one has constant vision and experience of the sad-vastu (transcendental substance). The ku (bad) is dispelled and the su (good) comes and establishes itself naturally in the heart. As long as one dwells on worldly concerns and feelings, the perception of good and bad will certainly remain. 

If one attains a state beyond the modes of material nature, one thinks of everything in terms of:

Gaurer 膩m膩ra saba bh膩lo 

鈥淎ll is well because I am Gaura鈥檚.鈥�

If you follow the orders and directions of guru and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉 and perform hari-bhajana, material attachments, which are produced by 尘腻测腻, will not give you trouble. If you can chant 艣谤墨 苍腻尘补 without offences, your restless heart will be steadied, and you will gain the opportunity to perform 蝉腻诲丑补苍补-产丑补箩补苍补 properly. In such a state, mundane lust and desires will find no place in your heart. By the strength of guru and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补鈥檚 mercy, all our desires for sense objects, for enjoyment, and for 蝉补峁僺腻谤补 are eradicated. To become the servant of the servant of 骋辞辫墨-jana-vallabha 艢谤墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺肠补苍诲谤补 is the natural inclination of the soul. The ultimate aspiration of our bhajana is to attain the everlasting service of 艢谤墨 搁腻诲丑腻-Govinda鈥檚 transcendental pastimes together. Those who are established in this kind of conception are especially fortunate.

I see that some exemplary 驳峁沨补蝉迟丑补蝉 keep some proverbs framed in their home. In one place, I saw written: 鈥淎 contracted heart has infinite thirst. Its hopes do not, have not, and will not ever dissipate.鈥� Surely these hopes and aspirations of virtuous 驳峁沨补蝉迟丑补蝉 are in relation to the service 艣谤墨 guru, 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉, and 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍. They have the conviction that only 艣谤补诲诲丑腻, bhakti, prema-辫谤墨迟颈 are the objects of their ultimate aspiration. They do not have any sort of mundane lust or desires. All their endeavours are especially for 碍峁涐梗峁嘺鈥檚 sake. The only desire and focus of their life is service to 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 and His devotees.

I am worried to hear the news of your poor physical health. If you take medicine punctually, follow a diet, and take rest, you will recover. If the body is unwell, despair naturally fills the mind. It also disrupts the daily service and worship, chanting of 艣谤墨 苍腻尘补, and study of scripture. Therefore, it is imperative to keep the body healthy. That is the only way to have the convenience of performing 蝉腻诲丑补苍补-bhajana properly. If it is particularly necessary, there is no harm in eating something to quell the pitta (stomach acid) right after ahnika. 艢谤墨 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 will not be dissatisfied or displeased with you for that. There are people who have too much pitta and are therefore incapable of fasting from water on 艢谤墨 Gaura 笔奴谤峁噄尘腻, 艢谤墨 闯补苍尘腻峁ａ弓补尘墨, 艢谤墨 狈峁泂颈峁僪补 颁补迟耻谤诲补艣墨. If, instead of fasting and then spending three or four days ill, they take some 艣补谤补产补迟补 (chilled juice) or milk, their fast will not be destroyed. The rules and regulations of scripture are prescribed with consideration to place, time, person, and circumstance.

艢谤补诲诲丑腻-产丑补办迟颈 is the real truth. It is never a temporary or perishable thing. As a result of offences, the heart of the living entity becomes hard like a thunderbolt. Once the offences are dispelled, the once soiled heart regains its strength and becomes pure, turning into 艢谤墨 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍鈥檚 dwelling place. It is true that a life deprived of 蝉腻诲丑补苍补-产丑补箩补苍补 and devoid of bhakti has no purpose, since the human body is extremely rare and is the root of 蝉腻诲丑补苍补-产丑补箩补苍补. At the same time, it is absolutely necessary to utilize and care for it properly. Those who do not appreciate the need to perform 蝉腻诲丑补苍补-产丑补箩补苍补 fall in the category of lamentable, ignorant, fallen men of ignominious conduct and atheistic beliefs. Their time both here and in the next world is wasted. Guru and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉 are omniscient and do not see the faults of others, so there is hope for everyone. There is no way to not accept this. In Chittaranjan, one mother who is very affectionate to me wrote that she recovered after

I gave her medicine in a dream. I am somewhat relieved to know that, in this case too, your loving mother fed you the medicine I gave her and you found some comfort. By the desire of guru and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉 and their ambitions for our well-being, we will surely obtain the real result. 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍鈥檚 mercy supersedes all. It is our duty to remember this. Know you have my affectionate blessings. Iti鈥�

Your eternal well-wisher,
艢谤墨 Bhaktived膩nta 痴腻尘补苍补
