Jaya Sri Radhey!

 

Here is a very important verse from Srimad Bhagavatam for the

sadhakas:

 

tatte 'nukampAM susamIkSamANo

bhuJjAna evAtmakRtaM vipAkam,

hRdvAg vapurbhir vidadhan namaste

jIveta yo mukti pade sa dayAbhAk

 

(Srimad Bhagavatam 10.14.8)

 

Lord, one who spends his life praying and looking forward to Your

Grace,

quietly experiencing the joys and sorrows that are visited on him as

a result of past actions (Prarabdha),

and prostrating to you with heart, speech and body,

becomes ultimately entitled to liberation (Mukti).

 

So this actually is a three-in-one Sadhana viz:

 

(1) incessant prayer for the Lord's Grace;

(2) quietly experiencing Prarabdha-caused joys and sorrows; and

(3) prostrating to the Lord with heart, speech and body.

 

1. One should always weep and pray for the Lord's Grace.

Why not take the help of the Lord Himself for attaining Him?

 

2. One should not rebel against the sorrows and miseries of life,

which are only a result of one's own earlier actions. These are meant

to purify our minds.

 

Full acceptance of the Lord's will and bearing all calamities

cheerfully is in itself a Sadhana.

 

3.Remembering the Lord continuously;

surrendering the mind, speech and body to Him;

performing only selfless acts of Divine Love;

contemplating on the Lord continuously and

surrendering one's speech to the Lord,

using speech only to chant the names and

glories of the Lord,

are sure means for realizing the spiritual goal.

 

Jaya Sri Radhey!
