Please give me a pure heart …….….. Nectarean Mellows

"G u r u m u k h p a d m a v a k y a "

We must be patient. This is one of the most essential items of devotional service: patience. Rupa Goswami says we must be enthusiastic with patience and confidence. Patience is the symptom of surrender. Without patience our surrender is hollow and incomplete. We must execute Krsna conscious principles with great, great enthusiasm but we are not fruitive workers, we are not doing business with Krsna. When Lord Nrsimha deva offered Prahlad Maharaj benedictions, he could have chosen a benediction even to go back to Godhead, or anything. He said, 'My Lord I am not here to do business with you, I am not a fruitive worker that I have performed my service and remained faithful with the expectation that you would give me something. I have done it for your satisfaction'. The one thing that a devotee wants is a pure heart, for the devotees of Lord Narayan whether they are in heaven or hell or in mukti makes no difference, their only concern is to serve. So we want a pure heart because more purer our heart, the more pleasing our service will be. Whether Krsna wants to send us to hell or to heaven or to mukti or Goloka or Vaikuntha, wherever He wants me to please Him, I want to be there but please give me a pure heart so I have that motive, I have that sincerity of purpose.

-- ChantHare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare II Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare II --is the sublime method for reviving our Krsna consciousness. As living spiritual souls we are all originally Krsna conscious entities, but due to our asociation with matter since time immemorial, our consciousness is now poluted by material atmosphere. In this polluted concept of life, we are all trying to exploit the resources of material nature, but actually we are becoming more and more entangled in our complexities. This illusion is called Maya, or hard struggle for existence over the stringent laws of material nature. This illusory struggle against the material nature can at once be stopped by revival of our Krsna consciousness.

And Be Happy
