Bhakti Wisdom

Life in Mayapur is full of magic and lessons. One month has passed since I arrived and I feel like I gained lots of wisdom which I would not receive so quickly outside the Dham.

Realisations that get revealed in the heart whilst staying in Dham can’t be described with words.

Once received, those realisations have capacity to expand again and again if we continue to endeavour .

Those realisations are like seeds that grow further if they are watered with sadhana Bhakti.

Even if we are sincere sadhaka only for one moment , this one moment of sincerity in the holy Dham will produce realisation which will be stored in our heart. It’s up to individual how he uses that blessing.

Sincere devotee will take this small realisation and will try to use it for further spiritual progress and this is how spiritual progress is made, by steady endeavour and strong determination.

Today whilst on my afternoon parikrama i saw one small boy riding a bicycle. Because he was still learning how to ride a bicycle,on both sides of that bicycle were supporting wheels which acted as a protection for the boy to not fall.This boy was very happy and wanted to show everyone how nicely he can ride the bicycle.Because he was so excited about riding the bicycle he forgot that he was supported by extra wheels on both sides of the bicycle. Everyone who saw the boy noticed those two supporting wheels,only this boy forgot about them.

Sincere sadhakas will always make lots of spiritual advancement and may also be very successful in their preaching or other devotional services. Sometimes they may even be rewarded and recognised as very special devotees.

Sign of someone who made spiritual advancement is that he will not forget about those “two supporting wheels”.

Without vaisnavas and spiritual master nobody can make any spiritual advancement.

Sincere devotee will always practice spiritual life in that mood.

Srimad Bhagavatam 4.12.32 purport-Dhruva Mahārāja’s mother, Sunīti was his patha-pradarśaka-guru. Patha-pradarśaka-guru means “the guru, or spiritual master, who shows the way.” Such a guru is sometimes called śikṣā-guru. Although Nārada Muni was his dīkṣā-guru (initiating spiritual master), Sunīti, his mother, was the first who gave him instructions on how to achieve the favor of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It is the duty of the śikṣā-guru or dīkṣā-guru to instruct the disciple in the right way, and it depends on the disciple to execute the process.
