Near and Dear

Question: When we are so far from you, how can we get your association?

To say or think "so far" is not correct. You offer everything to your Guru, you think about your Guru, then how can it be 'far'? If you think your Guru is far, then how far is Krishna? Venezuela and India are not so far from each other compared to Goloka Vrindavan, where Krishna lives.

যে দিন গৃহে ভজন দেখি ।
গৃহেতে গোলোক ভায় ॥

ye dina grhe bhajana dekhi
grhete goloka bhaya

On the days when I see devotional service taking place in my home, I feel that Goloka has manifested there.

'Suddha-bhakata-charana-renu' by Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur

It means that when you worship your Guru, worship Krishna, Krishna is always in your house. Every day you offer to Gurudev, you serve Gurudev, and Gurudev is always in your house. It is easy to serve—anywhere you stay, just follow Gurudev's instruction, and you will easily get mercy from Gurudev.

Sanatan Goswami:
On the Way to Mahaprabhu
Having escaped from the jail, Srila Sanatan Goswami Prabhu begins his journey to Mahaprabhu and faces more obstacles on his way: clever dacoits, unexpected bad association, and a family snare..

 

Jaya jaya gurudever
'Be merciful, O lord, manifestation of Sri Gauranga! This fallen servant always worships you.'
জয় জয় গুরুদেবের

“We are blinded by the illusory dust and cannot see anything,
but through good association we can see everything.”
