Guest guest Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Srila Prabhupada explains, " Even if one wanders for many millions of years, from the time of creation until the time of annihilation, one cannot get free from the path of material existence unless one receives shelter at the lotus feet of a pure devotee. " So we cannot become self-realized on our own strength. It is not possible. To become liberated from birth and death we are fully dependent on the mercy of Lord Sri Krishna's pure representative, the bona fide spiritual master. If we are fortunate enough to come into contact with such a pure devotee, we should take full advantage of his association by taking complete shelter of his lotus feet and thus make our lives perfect. Sankarshan Das Adhikari-- At the present moment our minds are polluted with the dirt accumulated over millions and millions of lifetimes of sense gratification. Even though our original pure nature is eternal, full of knowledge, and full of bliss, due to our mental contamination we are presently suffering in the realm of temporality, ignorance, and misery. By the purificatory process of chanting the holy names of God we can revive our original, pure nature and thus relish the sweetest happiness at every minute.
