Inquiring Honestly

Subhag Swami

If you are doing bhajan properly, Krishna will give you intelligence. If intelligence is not coming, then understand that there may be something wrong with me. I am not doing proper sadhana, not doing devotional service with joy, doing everything mechanically, enjoying in bhakti, behaving with Guru like a materialistic worldly person, not telling him what my internal problem is. If you won’t tell doctor exactly what your problem is, you tell something else, but he is judging the nerve that the disease is different than what you are telling, then how will he cure you?

Full Obedience

Subhag Swami

1. Unless you are fully obedient to the spiritual master, it is not possible to follow the instructions. Unless you follow the instructions of the spiritual master, you can’t be successful in spiritual life because everything depends on the spiritual master’s pleasure upon you and his blessings. So it is called sadhana. Just blindly follow.

2. Be very careful to follow the instructions of a Sad-guru, otherwise you don’t know what your destiny holds.

Choice of Learning

Subhag Swami

One who strictly follows what Sad-guru says, he doesn’t have to learn in a hard way, bitter experiences. Prabhupada says that intelligent, ’su-medhasa’ listens to experienced devotees and acts accordingly and gets more benefit. Otherwise one who goes by his own mind and experiences has to learn in a hard way.

Life and Soul

Subhag Swami

1. Make Guru’s words as your life and soul, then your life will be Successful.

2. We have to take these instructions of Prabhupada at our heart. Opportunity is knocking.
