How to Behave
With the Acarya
Conversations
Devotee (4): The difficulty is that we cannot
understand, we cannot feel what pleases Krsna now, yet we can
feel what pleases us, and that is the difficulty?
Prabhupada: You
have no feeling, that everyone knows. Therefore you have to carry out the
order of spiritual master, that's all.
Devotee (1) : If we try
to please Krsna with all of our service and activities, that automatically
brings pleasure to the self?
Prabhupada: You cannot please Krsna
directly. You please your spiritual master, Krsna will be pleased.
If you want to please directly Krsna, that is not possible. That is
concoction You cannot please. Yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasadah. You
have to please your spiritual master, then Krsna will be pleased. Don't
jump. Guru-mukha-padma-vakya, cittete koriya aikya. What is
that song you daily sing? What is that?
Pradyumna: By the words of the
spiritual master our mind becomes conclusive from...
Prabhupada:
Ara na koriha mane asa. Don't concoct. Don't you sing daily? Ara na koriha
mane asa. Don't manufacture ideas. That is dangerous. Caitanya
Mahaprabhu teaches by His example. Guru more murkha dekhi' karila sasana.
Caitanya Mahaprabhu said to Prakasananda Sarasvati that "My spiritual master saw Me fool number one, so he
has chastised Me, that 'Don't try to read Vedanta; chant Hare Krsna.'
AND AFTER WE HAVE GENUINELY PLEASED OUR SPIRITUAL MASTER--
THEN THE FOLLOWING HAPPENS...
SB 3.4.35 P
Vidura Approaches Maitreya
Vidura was overwhelmed by the ecstasy of love
when he understood that Lord Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead,
thought of him atthe last moment. Although he thought of himself as
insignificant, he was remembered by the Lord, by His causeless mercy.
Vidura acceptedthis as a great favor, and thus he cried. This
crying is the last wordin the progressive path of devotional service. One
who can cry for the Lord in love is certainly successful in the line of
devotional service.
