Continuing with the reading from Sri Chaitan to Shamrata Vaishna Sachitananda Bhakti Muktakur Continuation from yesterday True renunciation is the ornament of a devotee's life. It should be known that genuine detachment is the special adornment of men and women who have attained Bihar. It cannot be called as a limb of devotion, but it can be considered a symptom of devotion. Someone with Baba Bhakti.
How naturally.
He would naturally be a bit detached Earth standalone. This is a symptom of his devotion. 4th 1 Manasunyata Absence of false prestige despite one's excellence, being devoid of pride is known as Manushumyata Absence of false prestige. One who lacks excellence doesn't possess pride. Such humility is not considered an ornament of a devotee's life. As mentioned in the Vakila Samrata Sindhu, when a devotee, in spite of possessing all qualities of pure realization, is not proud of his position is called prideless. That's it. Yeah. You know? Yeah. For this topic. Subtopic.
Sorry guys.
I don't know. I was hungry. Like I said, there was someone in the meeting saying I am the most humble part of.
A person has received excellence. He doesn't act.
So pridelessness means a person who has achieved excellence. He doesn't act with pride. 5. Asha Bhanda Hope the possibility of attaining the Supreme Lord becomes strong in a person who has awakened Bhava giving rise to to Asha Bandha. At the time, no doubts arising from fallacious reasoning. Fallacious reasoning remain as this connection, this connection. One prayer by Rupa Goswam is sufficient to exemplify his hopefulness. He says, act no love for Krishna nor for the causes of developing love of Ka, namely hearing and chanting and the process of Bhakti Yoga by which one is always thinking of Krishna and fixing his lotus feet in his heart is also lacking in me. As far as philosophical knowledge of pious works are concerned, I don't see any opportunity for me to execute such activities. But above all, I am not even born of a nice family. Therefore I must simply pray to you, O Gopija Navallava Krishna, maintainer and the beloved of the Gopis. I simply wish and hope that some way or other I may be able to approach your lotus feet. And this hope is giving me pain because I think myself quite incompetent to approach that transcendental goal of life. So we see how humble is Rugaba swam is.
He certainly has all his sizes on him.
He certainly has all the qualities that he says he doesn't have.
He doesn't have any water.
But in humility he sees that he doesn't have that doesn't have all this good qualities. So he simply wishes and hope that some way or other he may be able to approach Krishna's lotus feet. So he declares that this is giving him pain in him because you don't see any competency in him as a.
Sri.
Krishna's motor speed to actually achieve Krishna's lotus feet.
How now I love.
So not having this kind of situation. What was that? Guru marriage. What did he say? The duplicity? He's not having it.
Krishna. But he doesn't say the whole is.
So he wants to achieve the lotus feet of Krishna, but he doesn't see the qualities to do that. Samud Kanta Eagerness, the intense longing for the attainment of one's cherished desire is called Samukhanta Eagerness for the person who has awakened Baba, the Supreme Lord alone is one's cherished desire. This eagerness becomes very strong in them. As mentioned in the Bhakira Samruta Sindhu 1.3536 Longing refers to intense leap attaining the desired goal. So this shows how in the Bhavabhta the eagerness, the greed to achieve Krishna.
Grows or not grows very much.
A taste for chanting the holy name of the Lord as mentioned in the Bhakti Rasamruta Sindhu 1.3.3.38o Govinda, today this young girl with the sweet voice whose lotus eyes are streaming with nectarian tear is singing your names. If someone is always having the teaspoon chanting the holy name, this is one of the qualities of the Bhavtihi Krishna Guna Kyame attachment to the descriptions of the qualities of Sri Krishna. A person who has awakened Baba will always show attachment to the glorification of the qualities of the Supreme Lord as mentioned in the Srinath Bhagavatam 3.50.48 A person, persons who are very expert and most intelligent in understanding things as they are engaged in engaged in caring narrations of the auspicious activities and pastimes which are worth chanting and worth hearing Such persons do not care even for the highest material benediction, namely liberation. Say nothing of other less important benedictions like material happiness of the heavenly kingdom. The deeper state of state taste Ruchi is known as attachment Asakti. Its most intense state is called Bhava Rati.
How.
Much of Krishna?
We always want to hear the glories of Krishna. So they don't care for impersonal liberation or even for heavenly pleasure. Ivan has after Nishta reached Lucci, has survived tense that's considered very intense.
His assured to.
So then after Ruchi one attains that's even better. Then after that, when one reaches Bhava Rati, then one constantly thinks about Krishna. The last one Spriti ka Vasudhi sthale Affection for those holy places where Krishna Lord Chaitanya resides. Affection for the abodes of the Supreme Lord is the distinctive feature of a person who has awakened Baba. The abodes of the Supreme Lord are are of two types, material and transcendental. The places of Lord Hari's pastime in the material world are within the realm of material existence. When pure devotion is applied to them in the eyes of the devout deity, these places appear as transcendental abodes. The transcendental abode is spiritual world. The spiritual world is of two types, pure spiritual world and earthly spiritual world. The pure spiritual world is beyond. Miraja is known as Paradbyoma, the transcendental realm. In those various distinct chambers of devotional rasa melos, the Supreme Lord, endowed with forms suitable for those mellows, eternally resides with pure living entities who are appropriate for those mothers and to those conditioned souls who relish the specific devotional mellows of particular chamber. The Lord resides in the spiritual portion of their hearts filled with devotion. Therefore, both Vaikuntha and the hearts of the devotees are transcendental residents of the Supreme Lord. The places of the Lord's pastimes in the material realm is the Bajana Pita, place of worship of the devotees considered Prabancha Vijaya Victorious spiritual residence in the material world of the Supreme Lord. Places of the Lord's pastimes, such as Sridham Navvy, Sridham Vrindavan and the 12th Parthas and the Vaishnava. Sacred places like Naima Sharanya and the banks of Ganges Tulsi groves, places of the lost narrations and the places where the deities established are all abodes of the Supreme Lord. Supreme Lord's residence A person must awaken power, love, love to reside in these places. As mentioned in the Srimad Bhagavata how pious are the tracts in the line of Braja. For there the primeval personality of Godfrey, disguising himself with human traits, wanders above enacting his many pastimes adorned with wonderfully variegated forest gardens. He whose feet are worshipped by Lord Shiva and Goddess Rama vibrates his flute and thanks the cows in the company of Lord Palar.
Is God.
Saint Vrindana, Krishna assumes is cowgirl Fastness.
On his life he's trying to find.
So in this way he's trying to. What was he trying to?
He sanctifies Vrindava in this way he.
Sanctifies Vrindavan in my book.
Philanthropies for Lord Chaitanya.
So in Myatmar the different places of Lord Chaitanya's pastimes were sanctified. All the Krishna has his pastimes in Navadvik.
How has past times Vrindavan and his.
Pastimes in Vrindavan.
Like to think all the Tanzan abilities.
Devotees like to think about the transcendental activities of Lord Chaitanya. Lord Krishna in Navadva Devotees think about the pastimes of Lord Chaitanya.
Vrindavan.
Ask hands Lord Krishna in Vrindavan we like to think about the pastimes of Lord Krishna the ant. There are some devotees from Bangladesh and other parts of the world as well. So Guru Mahj is blessing all of you.
