艢谤墨 搁补蝉颈办补-谤补帽箩补苍补 D膩蝉腻诲丑颈办腻r墨 Dhadika, P.O. Kumarbad (S.P.) 16/8/1978

厂苍别丑腻蝉辫补诲腻蝉耻鈥�

M膩鈥斺��! I received your letter of 15/7/78 in good time. You are sad that you did not see me before you returned home. If guru and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉 are omniscient, then they saw, internally, your desire to see me when you were leaving.

I cannot stay seated next to you all the time, forever. Then again, as my picture, I am always situated before you. What you want to convey to me, you can convey to that. If you submit all matters to the image you worship, your mind will find peace.

One who carefully gleans the purports of the scripture, practices them in his own life, and becomes dedicated to preaching precisely that to everyone, and who, as the foremost of preachers, is also keen on his personal practice (腻肠腻谤补), receives the acclaim of being an 腻肠腻谤测补. If we can gain a place at his worshipful feet, offer our lives to his teachings, and take initiation, then our ultimate welfare is inevitable. The 尘补丑腻苍迟补-guru never makes anyone his disciple. He engages those under his guidance in service, knowing them to be instruments in serving his master. One eternally perfected great soul has addressed those who took shelter of him as 鈥�vipada-uddh膩ra峁嘺 b膩ndhava-驳补峁嘺鈥揻riends who have come to deliver me from calamity鈥�. This is the experience and real 诲补谤艣补苍补 of the eternal 尘补丑腻辫耻谤耻峁�a蝉.

This time, in attempting to distribute the mercy of 丑补谤颈-办补迟丑腻, some high calibre sevaka-产谤补丑尘补肠腻谤墨 who fancies himself a scholar instigated a great deal of irrelevant, ill-affected criticism, due to which several female listeners became very dissatisfied and later asked me to give an explanation. When I properly explained this portion鈥檚 purport and teaching, they were satisfied. 

They can understand that 艣腻蝉迟谤补 instructs everyone, women and men, equally.

This is the honey-bee tendency. It is laughable for a 办补苍颈峁ａ弓丑补-补诲丑颈办腻谤墨 to claim the status of a 尘补诲丑测补尘补-补诲丑颈办腻谤墨.

痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补 cinite n膩re devera 艣akati

鈥淓惫别苍 the demigods do not have the power to recognize a 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补.鈥�&苍产蝉辫;

Just as this evidences the ineligibility to obtain tattva-诲补谤艣补苍补, the proverb 鈥�苍墨肠补 jadi ucca bh膩峁�e subuddhi 耻诲腻测补 hese鈥搕he highfalutin speech of a fool makes a wise man laugh鈥� dismisses the ineligible and highlights the generosity that is silence. In attempting to perform 蝉腻诲丑补苍补-产丑补箩补苍补, should the 蝉腻诲丑补办补, deluded by the hope for profit, worship, and prestige, invoke disregard of guru and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉 and pose as a liberated soul, he will ultimately fall down. There are countless examples of this.

To come into the proximity of 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉 is a matter of great fortune. The 厂腻谤补蝉惫补迟补 骋补耻岣嵞珁补 guru-varga has informed us that to leave them and return [to one鈥檚 worldly] home or even just to get a return ticket is a matter of misfortune. It is possible to always live in the proximity of guru and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉 if one follows their teachings and instructions. Only through contemplation and feeling is it possible to obtain their direct 诲补谤艣补苍补.

The sevaka or 蝉别惫颈办腻 has no worldly connection with guru and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉, who are not satisfied by any worldly exchange. If one properly studies the 鈥�dad膩ti pratig峁沨峁嚹乼i鈥� verse of 鲍辫补诲别艣腻尘峁泃补, one sees that it is not speaking about mundane giving and taking. The exchange of transcendental love and affection constitutes the special connection between guru and disciple. The ordinary materially engrossed soul cannot grasp this and often becomes garrulous in criticizing guru and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉. Though this does not even slightly affect 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉, who are of exalted consciousness, it is particularly harmful for conditioned souls.

The devotee who has offered his soul at the lotus feet of 艣谤墨 guru does not claim anything as his own, for he knows 鈥淣othing is mine. Everything is gurudeva鈥檚.鈥�&苍产蝉辫;

He takes the wealth 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 has given him and vows to serve them.

鈥淢aster, I have nothing to call my own. You alone are my only father, friend, and brother.鈥�&苍产蝉辫;

This is the exclusively surrendered individual鈥檚 蝉补尘产补苍诲丑补-箩帽腻苍补 and sense of belonging. The 蝉腻诲丑补办补 and 蝉腻诲丑颈办腻 have nothing to call their own. Their mind, heart, body, home, money, etc.,鈥揺verything鈥搕hey give to guru and 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 and become carefree. To give away their body, mind, words, life, wealth, intelligence鈥揺verything鈥揳nd spend their lives in a selfless manner, devoid of possessions, becomes their natural tendency. Reliance itself [on guru and 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍] establishes them in the highest position.

I will discuss 艣谤墨 驳辞辫腻濒补-tattva in person when we have time. In this matter, personal realization is the main thing. 骋峁沨补蝉迟丑补蝉 need not sacrifice male goats; they can offer monetary donations [to M膩 碍腻濒墨]. If she is not satisfied by this, then I will know that M膩 is a 谤腻办峁�a蝉墨 (an ogress) and not really the mother of the universe. Know you have my affectionate blessings. Iti鈥�

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