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

厂苍别丑腻蝉辫补诲别峁�u鈥�

C膩鈥斺��, Ni鈥斺��, Cai鈥斺��! I received your affectionate letter and have replied to it. I have also discussed with you in person the standards, ideals, and rules and regulations of living in the 尘补峁环补-mission. Of the three of you, Cai鈥斺�攊s the youngest, so if the two of you show him your love and affection and follow the rules and regulations of the 尘补峁环补-mandira, guru and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉 will be satisfied with you and shower you with their loving wishes.

艢谤墨鈥斺赌�诲腻蝉补 叠谤补丑尘补肠腻谤墨 has been engaged as the 尘补峁环补-rak峁�aka (鈥�temple protector鈥� or temple president) of 艢谤墨鈥斺赌擥au岣嵞珁a 惭补峁环补. It is right that you execute the tasks of service in the 尘补峁环补 according to his directions and wishes. It is right that you always heed him. The 尘补峁环补 residents should never disobey him, going here and there without asking him or receiving his permission. 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补-dharma is the dharma of anugatya (being under guidance); a life bereft of guidance is full of chaos. If one gives up anugatya, one will end up falling from the soul鈥檚 dharma. 艢谤墨 guru, 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉, and 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 never show mercy to persons of poor character. Their lives end in vain. For people like that, there is no possibility of their gaining any uplifting lessons or anything from living in the house of the guru in the 尘补峁环补-mandira other than a collection of offences. I hope you never abandon service to choose such misfortune.

If you can grasp the transcendental conceptions of 艣谤墨 guru and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉 and adopt the ideal they have set of a life of service, then you can obtain real auspiciousness. Do not ever try to imitate them. In becoming a sevaka, do not try to be the master; do not choose the ultimate misery. Rather than giving each other instructions, it is more beneficial to try to rectify oneself. It is preferable to take chastisement and become a disciple. A person becomes a 艣颈峁�y补, or sevaka, if he can follow the orders and instructions of guru and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉 unquestioningly.

If the sevaka chants a fixed number of 艣谤墨 苍腻尘补 every day, he never has to become a 办补谤尘墨, 箩帽腻苍墨, 测辞驳墨, or 补苍测腻产丑颈濒腻峁Ｄ�. If the 箩墨惫补 loudly performs 办墨谤迟补苍补 of the 尘补丑腻-尘补苍迟谤补, his anarthas are eradicated and sloth flees. It is not right for any sevaka to abandon service and indulge in laziness. The sole dharma of the sevaka is to always be making efforts to serve 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 and His devotees.

Though village people have high regard for worldly talk, sevakas do not develop enthusiasm for that. It is best to give a bahirmukha (spiritually averse) person the respect they want. You never have to honour or condone their worldly behaviour.

In collecting the ingredients for 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍鈥檚 service, one [a 尘补峁环补 resident] must maintain respectful dealings with 驳峁沨补蝉迟丑补蝉, but one does not need to become their slave.

Vi峁�ay墨ra anna kh膩ile malin haya mana, malin mana haile nahe k峁涐梗峁噀ra smara峁嘺^[1]

鈥淚f one eats the foodstuffs of sense enjoyers, one鈥檚 mind becomes contaminated. With the mind contaminated, one cannot remember 碍峁涐梗峁嘺.鈥�

Always remember this guideline. Not everyone becomes a resident of Vraja just by living in Vraja. Know that only the transcendental 痴谤补箩补惫腻蝉墨蝉 have the qualification for 尘腻诲丑耻办补谤墨-产丑颈办峁Ｄ� (bee-like begging for alms). To impose mundane conceptions on to the transcendental principle, which is beyond the modes of material nature, is the approach of the 辫谤腻办峁泃补-蝉补丑补箩颈测腻. To call a saintly person a rogue and to call a rogue a saint are equal offences. The consideration of 补诲丑颈办腻谤补 (qualification) must always be accepted. To establish an unworthy person as worthy and to not accept the competence of a worthy person鈥揵oth are counted as errors of the same calibre.

To diminish the honour of guru and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉 or to disrespect them either directly or indirectly by asserting one鈥檚 own value, honour, and prestige does not befit any 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补. Instead of seeking flaws in others, if one praises even their most ordinary qualities, one鈥檚 mind will find peace. For conditioned souls, judging another鈥檚 virtues and flaws has been forbidden. Still, praising the virtues of another is comparatively better. If man searches for flaws in others, often those very same flaws end up attacking him and he falls from his path of bhajana-蝉腻诲丑补苍补. This soils his own heart, and many types of anxieties and worries destroy the balance of his mind. 骋墨迟腻鈥檚 鈥�dhy膩yato vi峁�ay膩n鈥� buddhi-n膩艣膩t pra峁嘺艣yati鈥� verse^[2] perfectly illustrates this matter.

All of you sevakas should render the tasks of service in the 尘补峁环补 together and keep the 尘补峁环补鈥檚 daily service intact. If you become prone to mutual fighting, conflict, and disagreement, then the opportunistic party will have an opportunity to ridicule you. Never engage in such heinous activity. Keep an impartial view and be cautious in regard to the service of guru and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉. No one can ever find auspiciousness by abandoning the service of guru and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉. One who rejects service to the 诲墨办峁Ｄ�-驳耻谤耻 and preaches that there is greater glory in serving the 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉 or

艣颈办峁Ｄ�-驳耻谤耻 and 苍腻尘补-guru must be given up as bad association. Service to guru and service to 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉 are of the same calibre. Know you have my best loving wishes. Iti鈥�
