1. <<Relishing the transcendental sweetness of krsna-kirtana is only

possible when one is actually advanced towards perfection.>>

 

 

2. << In the conditioned stage, we chant

Hare Krsna mantra officially without any attachment and try to

finish the rounds as soon as possible. Sometimes we also forget

to chant the prescribed rounds.>>

 

Comment:

 

Going from the second situation to the first situation seems so easy, but is

so difficult at the same time. Is easy for the simple and difficult for the

crooked minded, I heard somewhere sometime.

 

In the conditioned state the medicine of chanting Hare Krishna surely tastes

bitter, but there is no other hope than continuing with faith and desire to

become cured from our envy of Krishna. Because then the same holy name will

taste like nectar. The medicine for our disease not only cures us from the

disease, but awards the perfection of existence. It is the means and goal of

spiritual perfection.

 

If we were only able to chant purely, without offense, everything would

become perfect. We would become situated in spiritual existence and be

serving Lord Krishna without any tinge of material contamination.

But we cannot chant purely unless we are purified. So, we simply have no

other option than continue chanting in the conditioned state, consciously

trying to avoid aparadha and become purified.

 

"Oh Harinama, please be merciful upon me. Give me the intelligence, the

faith, the understanding that there is no cure for my material disease,

other than taking complete shelter of Your Lotus Feet. Please let me become

convinced of this fact".

 

"Dear Vaishnavas, who are described to be just like desire trees, please

help me in any way you can so that I may grasp this spiritual truth and

implement it in my life. So, that I may advance like all of you and become a

servant of the holy name".

 

begging for your mercy,

your humble servant,

KPdd
