Transcending One’s Karma
Karma produces samskaras in our citta. Go to an astrologer if you want to waste your time sorting out your karma. If you want to transcend your karma and enter the spiritual domain, surrender to guru and practice bhakti.
Worshiping Deities
Grhasthas often ask – should I worship formal deities or some photographs or paintings of Radha-Krishna? What really counts is the bhava. Radha and Krishna can manifest from anywhere if one has bhava. Remember Nrsimhadeva manifested from a stone pillar? Actually, the most important Deities for every devotee are Sri Guru, Srimad Bhagvatam and Sri Nama.
Surrender
Once you have direct experience of Krishna acting in your life, you will be convinced about Him. But that experience will only come when you surrender.
Having Everything
If everything in this world disappears, it is ok. As long as I have my guru then I have everything.
Bhakti
Bhakti is an effort that produces bliss and work is that effort which produces exhaustion.
Required Qualities of Our Bhajan
Our bhajan should be like the sun planet – always shining. Below it may rain or snow but the sun continues to shine. Undeterred. So we may face such oppositions in life, but no matter what, our bhajan should go on like the shining of the sun – pure, effulgent and eternal.
Bowing Down
Bowing down doesn’t mean you can’t stand up.
Judging Others
Never ever forget who you were and what you were doing before you got the mercy of Guru. Then you will never judge anyone.
Envy
Envy breeds when you aren’t chanting purely.
Service
Service is a privilege which is extended to a conditioned soul by the mercy of Guru.
