HARE KRISHNA,
After having realized that this human birth is a boon which very few of us are fortunate to be blessed with, for they have clearly mentioned in our esteemed scriptures, it is bestowed after several other forms of birth such as birds, trees, beasts etc . Every soul, therefore, has to endeavour to elevate itself and the only way is total unconditional surrender unto the lotus feet of our dearest Lord Sri Krishna. The simplest path yet toughest for the mind is very difficult to tame.
Whilst one has rightly resolved to practice the godly ways of life, one is also filled with countless doubts, what about all our sins of the past, the less than perfect way of life which was previously led due to the uncontrollable wavering mind, what about all the humanly temptations and above all the least liked qualities of anger, greed, etc which is still predominant? Will this past background hinder us now in our spiritual progress? Will Lord Sri Krishna take us in his fold now ? Will our spiritual path now be marred if one co-links it with the past? To my mind, certainly not, for our Lord Sri Krishna is the most compassionate personality of Godhead and is ever willing to burn our past actions to ashes , provided now , we are sincere, humble and above all have total faith in him. Sage Valmiki wrote our Divine Ramayana, we all know his past, where his actions were far from being perfect yet our Lord chose him to write his divine story and not the greatest saints of the time.
We all our children of our most loved Lord Sri Krishna, few of us could be highly evolved, few totally uninitiated, but for our Lord both are the same for he is our best friend to both the saint and the sinner and please believe me , this is my personal experience, everyday do I pray the lord that at no time should I be elevated to higher levels but forever be grounded humble devotee, a child who knows nothing and is totally dependent on the mercy of Lord Sri Krishna for at the lowest of low heights can each of us totally comprehend , understand and appreciate the greatest altitude at which our lord is and forever seek his mercy and divine blessings. Our Lord himself has mentioned in our Divine Bhagavad Gita he is ever ready to bless each of his creation, at whatever level they are, for they have rightly resolved in this birth that "HE IS THE CREATOR AND ONLY HE CAN GRANT US MOKSHA/ SALVATION."
The only quality which is required for Lord Sri Krishna consciousness is a pure heart filled with the greatest love for Sri Krishna and the only qualification that will forever bind us with our lord Sri Krishna is "THE REALIZATION THAT HE IS THE KING OF THE COSMOS AND WE ARE BUT HIS SERVANT OF SERVANT OF SERVANT , ALL THAT WE REQUIRE IS A VERY LITTLE SPACE AS A SPECKLE AT HIS LOTUS FEET." THIS THOUGHT PROCESS WILL FOREVER WITH A BEAUTIFUL SILKEN THREAD BIND OUR PARMATMA WITH OUR JEEVATMA.
HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE, HARE RAAMA RAAMA HARE RAAMA RAAMA RAAMA HARE HARE.
