What is Gratitude?
Gratitude is to honor, recognise and appreciate everyone and everything for a higher purpose.
Love
Love without gratitude does not give any pleasure.
Common Sense
Common sense is so uncommon in today's age of Kali.
Realizing Krishna
If we don't realize Krishna, then Krishna will make us realize.
Worship of The Lotus Feet of The Spiritual Master
Worship of The Lotus Feet of The Spiritual Master: There is no work as auspicious as serving the spiritual master. Of all worship, the worship of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the greatest but the worship of the lotus feet of the spiritual master is even greater than the worship of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Unless this is firmly realized we cannot understand what saintly association means, we cannot understand what the shelter of a spiritual master means, we cannot understand that we are dependent and he is our maintainer.
Aspects of The Word Krishna
What the ignorant masses understand about the Krishna is not the real object of the word Krishna. In other words, ‘God’, ‘Allah’ and even the Sanskrit word ‘Isvara”, ‘Paramatma’ etc. only indicate a great energy coming out of Krishna. They do not indicate the total aspect of the word Krishna.
Two Aspects of Every Word
Every word has a two-fold aspect; conveying a meaning based on knowledge and a meaning based on ignorance. The aspects of words that indicate something other than Krishna, Vishnu or Sri Chaitanya, conveys the meaning based on ignorance. In Knowledge everything indicates Krishna and signifies Krishna.
Krishna – The Only Object of Service
The word “devotion” cannot be applied to anything besides ‘Krishna ‘. Krishna is the only subject of devotion. Brahman is the object of knowledge, Paramatma is the object of nearness, but Krishna is the only object of service.
Srimad Bhagavatam
Sri Jiva Goswami specifically explained that Srimad Bhagavatam is the original commentary of Vedantasutra.
Studying Srimad Bhagavatam
Unless one studies Srimad Bhagavatam under the guidance of a bonafide Vaishnava Acharya, he will not be able to understand the real purport of the Brahma-sutra. Srimad Bhagavatam is the original commentary of Vedanta-sutra.
