Gadi das: When they come into this world, or any world in this material world, they will always set the bar at its highest point.
As pure devotional service is very rare, it is possible that the bar is set so high just for those whom have the greed and determination to reach that high. I’m not talking about how many rules and regulations you follow perfectly, which aren’t many, I’m talking about that urgent quest of the soul in simply desiring to reach the pure spontaneous level of devotional service to Krsna, the real goal, without which attaining in this human life, is only fractionally successful.
The pure saint is on a level of unity with Krsna in pure love. Such saints such as Srila Prabhupada come into this world as a lotus grows on a pond, straight and beautiful with no trace of water on it. Similarly the saint comes into this world on request of his beloved Lord….”please go and deliver the parched jivas trying to live in the desert like material world.” Like the lotus, the saint is born into this material world with no attachment to it, always free from the modes of passion and ignorance….hence his lotus feet never touch material desire.
He doesn’t come to give varnashram, varnashram is a by product of the gift he gives, for all good and righteous things will automatically appear when his gift is properly received….HariNamsankirtana….
Hari Nam is the ultimate gift, for it gives the ultimate gift unto itself…it gives Krsna Himself.. There is no greater gift than that. Behold, the entirety of Krsna’s pastimes are revealed by sudhanam chanting alone.
Srila Prabhupada, you are the specially empowered person with the specific mission of transforming this entire world and beyond into Vaikunta, and you will do it, of this I am sure. You once said, “if you knew who I was you would faint”…. Someday may we behold your true identity…
There are many pure unalloyed devotees of Krsna, of this there is no doubt. By the nature of their internal perfection, they may remain hidden…by choice or by circumstance. They are empowered also, but perhaps only to affect a very few with their association. No one…. no other pure devotees can compare with you. Everyone, and all pure devotees sit at your feet and are eagerly waiting to hear from your lotus mouth. Your words are the nectar that even pure devotees yearn to relish.
To imply that Srila Prabhupada hasn’t or cannot create unalloyed devotees of Krsna, would mean that the Holy Name emanating from the divine mouths of Sri Caitanya and Nityananda do not have enough power to purify a soul to the point of perfection….that would be greatly offensive and intolerable to hear. There are many pure devotees, best to become one to have the power to know one. It takes special eyes to see them. They will not be a Srila Prabhupada, no one can be him….but they can be recognized by the uncomplicated souls who have the eyes to see…and the ears to hear….
Thanks again for your ears…. Srila Prabhupada Ki jaya… yours in Prabhupada, always on call….Gadi das murarisevaka.com.
