Here is the remedy for eliminating all inauspicious
things within the heart which are considered to be obstacles on the path of self-realization.
The remedy is the association of the bhagavatas. There are two types of bavatas namely
the book bhagavata and the devotey bhagavata. Both the bhagavatas are
competent remedies and both of them or either of them can be good enough to
eliminate the obstacles. Anybody ever feel you have some obstacles in your spiritual life?
So pay attention the solution is here. A devotee Bhagavat
is as good as the book Bhagavat because the devotee Bhagavat leads his life in
terms of the book Bhagavat and the book Bhagavat is full of information about
the Personality of Godhead and His pure devotees who are also Bhagavatas.
Bhagavad book and person are identical.
The devotee Bhagavat is a direct representative of Bhagavan the Personality of Godhead. So by pleasing
the devotey Bhagavat, one can receive the benefit of the book Bhagavat.
Human reason fails to understand how by serving the devotey Bhagavat or the book
Bhagavat, one gets gradual promotion on the path of devotion. But actually these
are facts explained by Srila Narada Muni who happened to be a maidservant’s
son in his previous life. The maidservant was engaged in the
menial service of sages and thus he also came into contact with them and simply
by associating with them and accepting the remnants of food stuff left by the
sages the son of the maid servant got the chance to become the great devotee.
