(3/3) Fix Your Mind

His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad
Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj
Speaking online to devotees in London
27 April 2019, part 3

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur said that in this world a hundred out of a hundred people (100% people) are always busy with their nonsense things, and there are only very few people who think about the Lord. Everybody is always, all day long, busy maintaining their lives. Actually, we need little – only some place for sleeping and a little food – but it is our material desires that give us a big problem. That is why Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur sang:

কবে জীবে দয়া, হইবে উদয়,
নিজ সুখ ভুলি' সুদীন-হৃদয় ।

kabe jive daya, haibe udaya,
nija sukha bhuli' sudina-hrdaya

'When will compassion for all souls arise in Bhaktivinod? When will he forget his own happiness?'

(Saranagati, Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur)

When I will forget my own happiness? When will I think aobut the Lord's happiness? These are Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur's words.

The time is short now, so we can talk again another day, There are devotees in Venezuela waiting for me now; and later, at seven o'clock, I am also to meet with the Colombian devotees.

I am very happy with you all. When by Krishna's mercy and Gurudev's mercy, Krishna allows me to go out of India, I will certainly come there to London. This is in Krishna's hand, not mine. He is the one who controls everything. So, when Krishna allows me to come out of India, I will come. In the meantime, I am preaching a lot all over Bengal and India. Krishna is giving me this time to stay here in India, so I am going to many places. Otherwise, if I go abroad, I will be eating too much because everybody is giving so much food, and I will become a big fat man. I do not want that. I want to always run.

Question: How is your health these days?

My health is good, there is no problem. I am fully OK now. And what you cooking today? Rice, dal, subji or only kitchuri? Rice, dal, subji, sweet rice, chutney is good.

Come at the Ratha-yatra time. I am inviting you all. Very soon, this Nrisingha-chaturdasi, there is going to be a big festival at the temple of Lord Nrisinghadev, and all the Mayapur Vaishnavs. After that, I will be making the the chida-dahi mahotsav festival at Raghunath Das Goswami's place in Panihati. Then, I am going for Ratha-yatra to Puri, and from there I am going to South India. I am going on a South India tour to visit all the places that Mahaprabhu visited. We will be visiting Raya Ramananda's place on the bank of the Godavari, the temples of Jiyada Nrsingha (Simhachalam), Pana-Nrisingha, Kurmaksetra, the Tirupati temple, and so on. I have preached in South India, but I have not visited so many places there. I went there earlier this year, and I went to the bank of the Godavari where Mahaprabhu showed His Rasa-raja Maha-bhav form to Raya Ramananda – Mahaprabhu showed very high, the highest, things to His nearest devotee Raya Ramananda Prabhu. We will visit this place again this time. This year six hundred devotees are coming with me to Puri, and after that one hundred and twenty devotees are coming with me to South India.

[Regarding a devotee] Actually, the problem is in the mind. The health is always good, but the problem is always with the mind. This is what Srila Haridas Thakur said – 'My body is not sick, only my mind is sick.' If I think that I am sick (if I am not feeling well), I just get some sleep and take rest...
