saralata hi vaisnavata

We recently heard in a recorded lecture by H.H. Gour Govinda Maharaja that a

Vaisnava is known by his simple heart. As Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Thakur used to

say: saralata hi vaisnavata.

 

This means that if in the course of developing simplicity of heart, the devotee

somehow falls to hell, that devotee need not worry, for Guru will save him from

that position.

 

If however, the devotee acheives, by acts of duplicity, deceitfulness and

manipulation, Brahmaloka, the topmost abode in the universe, he should worry,

because Guru will not save him at all.
