what Krishna sees from within our hearts.......................Nectarean Mellows
The most appropriate medicine for the heart, or let us say for the soul, to cure us of the disease of forgetfulness. And the symptoms of that disease of ignorance is lust, envy, anger, pride, greed and illusion. God’s name is the most powerful medicine. Why? because the Lord has incarnated within the name. The power, the opulence and the beauty and the sweetness of the Lord are within the name. The Lord is the supreme embodiment of beauty, knowledge, strength, wealth, fame and renunciation. All of those divine opulences are ever present within the Holy name. So when we chant the Holy name it cleanses our heart and awakens this attraction. When Hanumanji was building the bridge from Rameswaram - Setu Bandha to Sri Lanka, he was tearing off the tops of mountains, which were thousands of tons in weight. But Hanumanji was very strong, he would just rip it off and carry it and make it float in the ocean. While he was doing that, there was a little spider. Now what is the difference between the limb of a spider and Hanuman? All the spider could do was kick one grain of sand at a time to try to assist in this bridge building and Hanuman was carrying massive, massive mountain peaks and he told the spider, ‘get out of my way’ as it was on his path and Lord Rama chastised Hanuman. He said, ‘This spider is doing everything within his power in My mission and you are doing everything within your power. I see no difference between the two of you. I do not see what you do. I see your purpose, your intent.’ Therefore in spiritual life, higher or lower is not how much you can accomplish; higher or lower is the purity of our motivation, the spirit of our compassion and love. That is what Krishna sees from within our hearts.

Humility is not just a part of devotional service; it is the heart of devotional service.
To see a Vaishnava and not become happy is an offence. – Skand Puran
It is important to remind ourselves that at the end of the day, all we really have is each other.
