Meditate on
It took three lifetimes to Bharat Maharaja to go Back to Godhead. Then what about us? We have to meditate on this.
Everyone will be tested
Many come, do many big things. Don’t be surprised. But hardly few remain, because everybody will be tested. To become a ‘Vaishnava’, to go back to Godhead, you have to be qualified. It requires sadhana. It requires time. It requires patience. It requires austerity. One has to face challenges, reverses, hardships. He will be tested thoroughly. When he is completely attached to Krishna and Karshna, things dear to Krishna like devotees, dhama, Krishna- katha, Krishna’s name, form, beauty, pastimes. And when any other attachments to this material world becomes insignificant and zero, not even iota of attachment to anything of this world, then rest assured, in one life you will go back to Godhead.
The greatest Danger
What is the greatest danger? Greatest danger is coming to the cycle of birth, death, old age and disease.
Move Forward
1. Slow and steady, move forward and go Back to Godhead, whether present generation or past generation, anybody can go.
2. Actually pure devotee does not care for going back to Godhead. But in kali-yuga, we are very fallen. So Prabhupada said, “Try to go back to Godhead”.
