All the saints are my sweetheart and I am also their sweet heart. They do not know anyone but Me and I also don’t care to know anyone but them.” He is for the devotees and the devotees are for Him. And how many devotees there are we can't even imagine. Srimate Radhrani prays, “You have captured my heart fully. Every atom of my body wants only you, but the circumstances are so cruel that we are parted. So I will jump into that deep well, taking my own life. I pray You will come and take my position and I will take Yours, Oh Krishna, Oh Sri Nandanandan, then You will realize what hopelessness I am going through and will understand my trouble.” In that self-same mood Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, “My friends, save Me by showing Me Krishna. Otherwise I can’t maintain My existence, what I once saw, touching My heart like lightning then withdrawing, show Me once again for I cannot tolerate the separation. How many times can one die in a second to earn that fortune, to get a moments perception of Krishna? I am ready to die millions of times. My heart bursts without having a second view of that wonderful thing. I had a little experience previously, but beauty and sweetness can be so cruel. If I don’t get that vision I shall die.” The bittersweetness of a devotional life by Srila Sridhara Maharaj Or how much can we take, without giving? I really want to know you Lord but it takes so long my Lord. My sweet Lord You're getting close to the main vein here, Dasanudas prabhu. Remember Srila Sridhar Maharaja speaking of his `crying club`? ------------------ No offense meant to anyone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRdd Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 This is wonderful nectar to start off the day. Thank you for your kindness Mr das and may we all feel the peace of knowing Radha Krsna as our dearmost friends. May we have more drops of such nectar? I want to hear about the crying club, too. ys, JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasanudas Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Don't know much about any crying club, but it conjures up some rather bizarre images See what we can do to fullfill your request. I just had two not so much fundamental Wittnesses come to my door and the first thing they asked me was to read a passage from Revelations, which I was happy to do and went something like "And I shall dry up all your tears and they will be no more" They then asked what I thought about it, I started out laughing but after a couple of hours I thought I might end up crying by the time they left. My conclusion is that if you don't have the foundations, forget the rest of the house. Wow what a session Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
