He indeed knows the true nature of the Supreme Lord with a discus in His hand

and with infinite prowess, who adores and worships (Chanting the Divine Name)

the fragrance of the lotus-feet of the Lord again and again incessantly through

guileless devotion.

Though the Lord is highly incomprehensible to even a highly learned scholar, he

is easily known by a devotee. That devotee who constantly beholds the Lordâ€™s

lotus-feet in his heart and is lost in its divine fragrance through his

guileless and incessant devotion very easily knows the Lordâ€™s nature and

activities. The Lord reveals Himself to this devotee through his grace pleased

by his devotion.

Only through surrender of our ego to the Lordâ€™s supreme-will, can one know the

ways of God which are inscrutable.

Sri Swamiji sings in one of His songs â€œà®•à®£à¯à®£à®©à¯

â€œRemain steadfast in the feet of Lord Krishnaâ€. â€œThere is no use letting

the mind waver and disturbing oneself with lot of questionsâ€, He says.

The import of this verse is that one should submit oneself completely to the

Lord when even his own identity is lost in serving the Lordâ€™s lotus-feet. Only

in such a blemish less heart does the Lord reveal Himself. This devotion must be

free from blemish like hypocrisy which is in the form of expecting selfish

rewards. That is implied by the word â€˜à¤…à¤®à¤¾à¤¯à¤¯à¤¾â€™.

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
