Perfect Result Comes
Through Perfect Practice

I hope that everybody's health will be OK and that everybody will practise properly. This is how you can increase your spiritual life day by day. Increase your spiritual life through love and affection for devotees, by helping each other. 'Help' means transcendental help (paramarthik help). Help each other in this way, keep connection with each other, and in future you can come to Vrindavan or Nabadwip Dham parikrama, that will be good for you.

When I was at your house, I saw your service mood—your mood is very pure and very perfect, you have a simple heart. Simplicity is what Vaishnavism is. I have seen that your hearts are clean—you all live perfectly and you make your Guru happy properly. I have seen your mood, and I was very glad to see it. You understand how to reach the Lord and how to reach Goloka Vrindavan—you have already caught that line and started such practising; and I am sure that you will get perfect destination, perfect result—you will get that opportunity to reach Goloka Vrindavan. If you can practise properly, if you can continue your practising life as you are doing now, it will be good for you in future. Besides that, I am sure that you will get benefit through your service mood, your qualities, your love and affection for me and all the devotees, through your practising life, as well as through the association, love, and affection of Sripad Shanta Maharaj and Sripad Muni Maharaj who always come to you—this all will be more and more helpful to you also.

Not everybody can understand what a real relationship is. We only understand the relationship with our parents, with our father, mother, with our children, with our husband and wife, or with our brother and sister—but we cannot understand or sometimes we do not know also what is the relation between a guru and a disciple. This relationship is much more—the relationship between a guru and a disciple must be more perfect, tighter. This relationship should be established properly, it must be there. The Guru is the centre of the disciple's heart. It is possible to realise this relationship between the guru and the disciple through service.

You should read all the books of our mission—read Param Gurudev's books, there are also my Guidance books. They are all in English, but if you can sometimes read them, it is good for you. In Guidance 4, I have written something about initiation, I want to read it to you now.... [His Divine Grace reads from Guidance 4, chapter "Devotees' surrender at the time of initiation".]

....Try to join us at our English class every Sunday at 7 p.m. [Kolkata time]. Thank you very much. When the lockdown finishes, try to come for Nabadwip Dham parikrama. If I go to Vrindavan, you can also join the Vrindavan parikrama with me. Dandavat. Hari bol. Hari bol.

Poison, Wood, and Sugarcane
'Surrender must be sincere, not pretending: we pay our full obeisance to Gurudev, but when we get up we do whatever our mind wants to do and do not follow our Guru.'

 

Sri Sri Damodarastakam
'[Seeing the whipping stick in His mother's hand,] He is crying and rubbing His eyes again and again with His two lotus hands. His eyes are filled with fear, and the necklace of pearls around His neck, which is marked with three lines like a conchshell, is shaking because of His quick breathing due to crying. To this Supreme Lord, Sri Damodara, whose belly is bound not with ropes but with His mother's pure love, I offer my humble obeisances.'
শ্রীশ্রীদামোদরাষ্টকম্

Mahaprabhu went door to door, urging, 'This is not your house, this is not
your address, I have come to take you home!'
