Happy New Year 2003 - Divine Instructions for Sadhana

[Guest guest]

Jaya Sri Radhey!

 

A few nectarine words of wisdom from the lotus-mouth of a Rasik Saint:

 

1. dvesha karne vaale vyakti ke prati bhi dvesha na kare!

udaaseen rahe!!

 

* Do not bear ill will toward even those who bear ill will toward

you. Remain neutral and undisturbed.

 

2. aaj koyi naastik bhi hai to kal uccha saadhak bana saktaa hai.

atah saadhak yah na soche ki iskaa patana to sadaa ko ho chukaa.

suradasa aadi sant udaaharan hai.

 

* Saints like Suradas, Tulasidas are proof that if someone is an

atheist or sinner today, he can become a great devotee tomorrow.

Therefore, a true aspirant should not think such a faithless person

to be a sinner or fallen forever.

 

3. guru ki seva karnevaalaa to saadhak hi hai, uske priya hone ke

kaaran usase dvesh karnaa paapa hai.

 

 

* One who serves the Guru with dedication is a true seeker.

Since he or she has become the recepient of Divine Grace,

he or she is dear to the Guru.

Bearing ill will towards such a seeker is a serious offense.

 

4. suchmuch bhi koyi aparaadhi ho to bhi mana se usake bhoota poorva

aparaadhom ko na socho, na bolo.

 

* Even if someone has committed sins or spiritual transgressions in

the past, a true aspirant should not think or speak of the misdeeds.

 

5. sansaar me bhagavatpraapti ke poorva sabhi aparaadi hain.

bade bade saadhakom ka bhi patana yevam bade bade paapiyom ka bhi

utthaana yeka kshana me ho saktaa hai.

 

* Prior to God-realization, everyone in the world is a sinner and

impure.

Be aware, it only takes a moment for an advanced devotee to fall and

for a great sinner to rise.

 

6. saba me Sri Krishna ka nivaasa hai, atah unako hee mahasoos kare

 

* Try to realize the Omnipresent Lord, Sri Krishna is dwelling within

everyone and perceive Him alone everywhere at all times.

Oh Lord, may all be happy and comforted.

May all realize what is good and virtuous.

Let no one experience pain or suffering.
