"G u r u m u k h p a d m a v a k y a" What is saralata? ……………….Nectarean Mellows
Simplicity is one of the most beautiful spiritual virtues. In fact Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur quotes several times in this regard, he says that you can’t really begin the path of Bhakti truly without saralata - without simplicity. What is simplicity? Prabhupada explains it in many different ways and they should be very attentively understood. One place Prabhupada explains, simplicity means without duplicity; which really means we have no ulterior motives. We speak honestly, truthfully. Srila Prabhupada quotes in one place that speaking straight forward does not mean you speak in such a way (harshly) that you break people’s hearts.Prabhupada says straightforward means speaking the truth in a palatable way that actually enlightens people that actually encourages people. That is Prabhupada’s quotation. H H Radhanath Swami Maharaj |
