厂苍别丑腻蝉辫补诲腻蝉耻鈥擬膩 Um膩! The ability to pacify the mind by any means possible is the definition of determination and steadiness.^[1] Know for certain that herein lie surrender and auspiciousness. Who does not have a desire to hear the glories of holy places and 艣谤墨 诲丑腻尘补 and visit them in the company of 蝉腻诲丑耻蝉, guru, and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉? Therefore, both nurturing this fine desire and lamenting the obstacles to its fulfilment are favourable for the performance of bhajana. In the future, your 蝉耻办峁泃颈 (spiritual merits) and good fortune will grant you the opportunity to behold 艣谤墨 诲丑腻尘补 in the association of guru and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉, so do not let your mind be disturbed.

The unconditional mercy of 蝉腻诲丑耻 and guru amounts to all the provisions the soul requires. Souls bound by 尘腻测腻 turn toward 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 by the mercy of guru. Simplicity of heart and freedom from offences enable one to appreciate the grace of Hari, guru, and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉. Not becoming inclined toward bhajana is the greatest misfortune and the worst of luck. 

艢谤墨man 惭补丑腻辫谤补产丑耻 taught the world when he expressed His humility to Prak膩艣ananda 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨:

Thus this is the greatest nectar of instruction and blessing for the souls of this world.

To perform 办墨谤迟补苍补 of a fixed number of the 尘补丑腻-尘补苍迟谤补, consisting of sixteen names and thirty-two syllables, utterly free from offence is the greatest of all instructions.

You are pained that you would be able to render more service to me directly if you were not my daughter but my son! The words son and daughter are used because there are two fields [roles] in which specialities of service exist. 

And if the soul of the living entity is proven by scripture to be a form of 艣补办迟颈, feminine potency, then what objection can one have about being a daughter?

鈥淚n the 叠丑补驳补惫补诲-驳墨迟腻, the form of the soul is deemed to be that of 艣补办迟颈.鈥�&苍产蝉辫;

This you have read in 艢谤墨 Caitanya-肠补谤颈迟腻尘峁泃补 [Madhya-濒墨濒腻 6.163]. The possessor of infinite potencies, 濒墨濒腻-puru峁�ottama 艢谤墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺, is the sole enjoyer, and as His potencies, all souls are His maidservants, to be enjoyed by Him. 艢谤墨 gurudeva is also 腻艣谤补测补-箩腻迟墨测补-vigraha, 艢谤墨 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍鈥檚 beloved maidservant. Hence, though as guru-tattva he has fatherhood imposed on him, because he is 艣补办迟颈, he has more love and affection for his daughters. As long as gross misidentification with male or female genders persists, it is not possible to serve the ever-fresh Cupid, 艢谤墨 骋辞辫墨苍腻迟丑补, in person. Only if the soul can relinquish from its core, 测辞峁�i迟-产丑腻惫补 (the attachment between man and woman), does 艢谤墨 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 bestow upon the soul the qualification for His service, wherein there is no predominance of mundane masculinity or femininity. You will attain the fruit of direct service by means of 辫补谤辞办峁�a, or 产丑腻惫补-蝉别惫腻 [indirect service via an inner mood], which makes 产丑腻惫补-蝉别惫腻 a practical or tangible phenomenon. Scripture has accepted the eternity of the object of service, the servant, and service itself鈥揳ll three. 鈥�狈颈迟腻颈测别谤 肠补谤补峁嘺 satya, t膩h虄膩ra sevaka nitya^[4] 鈥搕he feet of Nit膩i are truth and His servant is eternal.鈥�

If the 蝉腻诲丑补办补 or 蝉腻诲丑颈办腻 can grasp the matter of their own ineligibility, it means the possibility of their well-being has revealed itself. This is a proven fact. Mundane egotism and duplicity are the crucial hindrances to performing 蝉腻诲丑补苍补-产丑补箩补苍补; they make the soul blind with delusions, which jettisons him far from the path of bhakti. You have written, calling yourself my only 鈥渋neligible child鈥�. 

That is precisely why I am so worried and concerned about how you can become qualified, how you can maintain your existence in this earthly world and in the spiritual world.

鈥淭he more fallen one is, the more merciful You are.鈥�&苍产蝉辫;

This statement proves that nurturing, caretaking teachers and guardians favour their youngest, most foolish children and keep a sharp, watchful eye on them. Expressing the feelings of the heart does not require a different sort of language. A toddler鈥檚 incoherent babbling is the language of his heart, and that is how he draws everyone鈥檚 attention.

Scripture allows for one to employ a tactic of indifference toward those who are malicious. Neglect of those who bear malice toward 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 and His devotees is their due punishment. Disciplined persons accept such punishment in a positive way and are worthy of the title 鈥渄isciple鈥�. A real, bona fide sad-guru does not make anyone his disciple; he sees them as the opulence of 艢谤墨 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍, who is the supreme object of his service. 艢谤墨 guru-辫腻诲补辫补诲尘补, who is 碍峁涐梗峁嘺鈥檚 beloved, has conveyed his eternal form to be that of an 鈥�ayogya-办颈峁卥补谤墨 鈥�unworthy maidservant鈥�. In the Tenth Canto of 艢谤墨mad-Bh膩gavatam, Chapters 80鈥�81, in the story of 艢谤墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 and Sud膩m膩, Guru 艢谤墨 S膩nd墨pani defines the duties of a bona fide disciple as follows: 鈥淎 disciple鈥檚 discipline is to follow the guru鈥檚 orders without question, and full surrender is the measure of accepting that discipline.鈥� It is by affectionate punishment that the heart is surely purified. Each and every genuine 蝉腻诲丑补办补 or 蝉腻诲丑颈办腻 wants only to advance along his or her life path according to 艣谤墨 guru-辫腻诲补辫补诲尘补鈥檚 orders, directions, instructions, and wishes.

The delay in responding to your letter is not indicative of your misfortune. The soul鈥檚 independence and self-determination are only ever auspicious if they are subservient to 艢谤墨 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍鈥檚 will. 艢谤墨 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 is supremely compassionate, and attaining His causeless mercy is indicative of good fortune. His pastimes are infinite and His glories are infinite; it is only by the light of His mercy that we can truly behold Him and realize His glory. 

By the grace of 艣谤墨 guru and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉, dumb men become talkative and cripples gain the ability to scale mountains.

Even if you are ignorant, you will gain knowledge, and as per my wish, you will try to write articles and poems on many topics. Study 艢谤墨 骋补耻岣嵞珁补 Patrik膩 routinely. Read 艢谤墨 Carit膩m峁泃a, Jaiva-dharma, 艢颈办峁Ｄ佱梗峁璦办补, 鲍辫补诲别艣腻尘峁泃补, 艢补谤补峁嚹乬补迟颈, and 艢谤墨 骋补耻岣嵞珁补-g墨ti-guccha routinely. In the absence of face-to-face company with 蝉腻诲丑耻蝉, there is 蝉腻诲丑耻-sa峁単a via scripture, which, in other words, means that the study of authoritative scriptures is something that is always uniquely accessible. In order to become acquainted with sat-蝉颈诲诲丑腻苍迟补 (pure conclusions) it is imperative to study the various sacred texts in a calm and steady fashion. This is what will solidify the proclivity for bhakti. 鈥� Iti鈥�
