(Dating is a gross term which means spending quality time with loved ones)
Dating is a very common term used nowadays .You might have heard people saying with great surprise "You know he/she got to date with that beautiful/handsome personality,how fortunate he/she is".
Just imagine we win a lucky draw and we get to date with our most favourite celebrity or sports personality for full TWO HOURS.When we will be sitting with that person,we will forget everything and just see that person and talk with that person to our complete satisfaction without wasting a single moment.Probably we might curse the creator to create us with the eyelids which blink and block our way to see the person,to give us urges of hunger and thirst and so on.That will be our intense mood when we will be sitting with our favourite mere mortal personality.
Devotees our very fortunate they win such lucky draws everyday and get to date with the most eternally beautiful personality -Krsna.Krsna means all attractive . Scriptures reveal the fact that He's the most beautiful one,No match to him.Scriptures also reveal that Krsna and his holy name are non different. But wait a minute there's some problem!!! So it means that Krsna's name is Krsna himself,which means when we chant japa we are actually spending time with him!!!! then why don't we experience the importance of associating with such a wonderful personality?Why do we get distracted when we are chanting japa?Why are we not tasting the sweetness in such interaction?
Problem is poor self introspection (where are we going wrong) and not understanding the position of the personality we are interacting with(lack of sambandha gyan)!
If we really want to "DATE"(revive our eternal loving relation with lord) with the most beautiful one we have to work on above problems!
Keep attentively Dating(chanting) and be happy!
