Quotes from Padyavali

[Guest guest]

"O Lord Madhusudana, as You enjoyed the meal offered

by Vidura, the foods presented by Kunti, Your lunch on

the peak of Govardhana Hill, the chipped rice of

Sudama Brahmana, the breast milk offered by Mother

Yasoda, the meal offered by Bharadvaja Muni, the food

offered by Sabarika, the many dishes presented by the

wives of the brahmanas, as well as the taste of the

gopis' lips, I hope the offering of food I now place

before You You will enjoy in the same way."

 

"Go ahead and worship Lord Brahma! Go ahead and

worship Lord Siva! Go ahead and worship the Supreme

Brahman! I will not follow you. I will simply worship

Vindavana forest, which brought transcendental delight

to Lord Krishna."

 

"O Lord, just as a miser continually collects, counts

and remembers his money, in the same way let us

continually collect, count and remember Your holy

names."

 

"I offer my respectful obeisances to the devotees of

the Lord. Simply by hearing the two syllables

'Krishna', their bodily hairs stand up in ecstasy and

they become moved to dance in ecstatic bliss. With

their sandals they expertly extricate the fallen souls

deeply sunk in the fetid mud of the ocean of repeated

birth and death."

 

"They whose eyes are blinded by the dust of the

Karma-mimamsa philosophy cannot fix their hearts on

the Supreme Personality of Godhead. They whose

intelligence is atrophied by illogical conclusions

dictated by pride stay far away from the topics of

Lord Hari. They who understand the Vedas but cannot

become devotees of Lord Krishna do not actually

understand the Vedas. Distributing the sweetest nectar

with a great ladle, these persons will not touch it

with their own spoon."

 

"Let the sharp moralist accuse me of being illusioned;

I do not mind. Experts in Vedic activities may slander

me as being misled, friends and relatives may call me

frustrated, my brothers may call me a fool, the

wealthier mammonites may point me out as mad, and the

learned philosophers may assert that I am much too

proud; still my mind does not budge an inch from the

determination to serve the lotus feet of Govinda,

though I be unable to do it."
