Sri Siksastaka

[kailasa]

"Direct contact is not possible. Neither that is the way of worshiping by the method of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. That is sahajiya-vada."

"Glory to the Sri Krisna sankirtana, which cleanses the heart of all the dust accumulated for years and extinguishes the fire of conditional life, of repeated birth and death. This sankirtana movement is the prime benediction for humanity at large because it spreads the rays of the benediction moon. It is the life of all transcendental knowledge. It increases the ocean of transcendental bliss, and it enables us to fully taste the nectar for which we are always anxious."

 

This movement sankirtana the Lord Caitanya brings spiritual taste and clears life. This taste is expressed in a sacred name, dialogue with devotee, knowledge of the material world and spiritual world (life filled transcendental by knowledge) and thus this spiritual taste is distributed everywhere similarly to light of the Moon, increasing ocean transcendental of happiness.

 

"Sri Panca-tattva themselves danced again and again and thus made it easier to drink nectarean love of Godhead. They danced, cried, laughed and chanted like madmen, and in this way they distributed love of Godhead."

"O my Lord, Your holy name alone can render all benediction to living beings, and thus You have hundreds and millions of names like Krisna and Govinda. In these transcendental names You have invested all Your transcendental energies. There are not even hard and fast rules for chanting these names. O my Lord, out of kindness You enable us to easily approach You by chanting Your holy names, but I am so unfortunate that I have no attraction for them."

 

In due course devotee realizes that the God is not distinct from His sacred name, all kinds energy of the God, all kinds of the relations and all kinds avatars are present at a sacred name. Devotee finds taste to recurrence of a sacred name, but nevertheless understands, that as also obstacles in it kirtanam are present.

"One should chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble state of mind, thinking oneself lower than the straw in the street; one should be more tolerant than a tree, devoid of all sense of false prestige, and ready to offer all respect to others. In such a state of mind one can chant the holy name of the Lord constantly."

 

Therefore devotee begins to follow this advice the Lord Caitanya and tries to chant, take an example from a tree and herb, that helps to continue to him spiritual life.

 

Deepening the spiritual life devotee becomes more and more free with feeling of false prestige and material nature as helps him in this hard business. /ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif He is ready to render respect to everyone and asks everyone to chant holy a name preaching by and large. Thus he chant a sacred name constantly and all his life directly or indirectly begins to contact to the God.

 

He does not expect, that others will render to him respect, as as anything significant itself does not consider. But for the sake of Krisna or spiritual teacher devotee is ready to accept all kinds respect, certainly, well knowing, to whom it is intended.

"O almighty Lord, I have no desire to accumulate wealth, nor do I desire beautiful women, nor do I want any number of followers. I only want Your causeless devotional service birth after birth."

 

Eventually following nivritti marga or pravritti marg, devotee surpasses material attachments. And everything, women, riches and set of the followers, he sees only in connection with the God. If for example riches are, he uses it in devoted service, but if riches is not present, it has no for him of value. Such devotee does not see value neither in riches nor in its absence.

 

Those who has achieved nistha are asked thus - "I want to serve to you life behind life. To me all the same where I shall set off in paradise or hell. I am disturbed only with one - I want, that it would be connected to devoted service. If the hell is connected to devoted service, I go in a hell. If the paradise is not connected to devoted service, I there have nothing to make. I am ready life behind life to build temples, to preach, to be grihastha or brahmacari, clever or silly, to be in a community of the friends or in a community of enemies, it has no for me of value, on all will of the God."

"O son of Maharaja Nanda [Krisna], I am Your eternal servitor, yet somehow or other I have fallen into the ocean of birth and death. please pick me up from this ocean of death and place me as one of the atoms of Your lotus feet."

 

After achievement of a level nistha, devotee really realizes itself by the servant of the God. Having released from all material, he sees that is at ocean of a material nature. The material world he see as alternation of birth and death, whereas others, too absorbed occurring, do not see that all their material activity doomed. Undoubtedly that devotee understands the insignificance and simultaneously with it, realizing greatness Krisna, devotee would ask the God what to become even one of atoms at Him lotous stop. And this pray began it already spiritual emotions, it of development of his relations with the God.

"O my Lord, when will my eyes be decorated with tears of love flowing constantly when I chant Your holy name? When will my voice choke up, and when will the hairs of my body stand on end at the recitation of Your name?"

 

Devotee understands, that he has no sufficient qualification, though actually has mature spiritual life, thus he simply goes further in свем spiritual development. It by him is not simulated, not go all stage by stage, tears can and will be and in conformity with Srila Narottama dasa they can be right at the beginning, that is well. But tears, which are described here or this request, it beginning bhava and as a rule to this moment, the material attachments actually for a long time already are not present. Therefore, this comprehension of the God very strongly also ripened, that is not possible for reaching, being caused substantially. Moreover given pray is top by all sadhana devotee and specifies by the beginning of the spontaneous relations. By and large anubhava - external displays of spiritual emotions, concerns to a category of spontaneous fidelity.

 

PS What that the attributes bhava can be both at neophits and in conformity with SP, it is necessary understand, that devotee, showing attributes of spiritual emotions, but not free from material attachments, the maturities yet have not achieved. That is not so sad, as a level bhava very much high level and silly to think that it would be possible to reach it immediately.

"O Govinda! Feeling Your separation, I am considering a moment to be like twelve years or more. Tears are flowing from my eyes like torrents of rain, and I am feeling all vacant in the world in Your absence."

 

All other emotions occur on a background of such feelings.

 

It is basic bhava, eternal emotion and all other events simply strengthen her.

 

Devotee sees the God, he communicates with Him, sometimes he is happy sometimes is not, but nevertheless it more temporary the moments on a background of constant emotion. He sees the God, but does not understand that it occurs, therefore all the same feels separation. Or he does not see, that as a matter of fact one and too in this case. Beauty Krisna, the greatness and all rest, simply is aggravated by his feelings. He is in games Krisna and "is not" simultaneously. All this does not belong to actually usual logic and is completely shown in Lord Caitanya.

 

Lord Caitanya shows this mood in a boundless degree - as maha bhava and usually maha bhava is not accessible to alive essences, as writes SP.

 

Go practically everything, only after that, devotee reaches a level bhava. Thus everything, that with him occurs, occurs in the mutual relations between devotee and Person of the God.

 

“In the millions and millions of universes there are innumerable planets, and each and every one of them is different from the others by its cosmic constitution. All of these planets are situated in a corner of the brahmajyoti. This brahmajyoti is but the personal rays of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Govinda, whom I worship.” This mantra from the Brahma-samhita is spoken from the platform of factual realization of the Absolute Truth..."

"I know no one but Kеслa as my Lord, and He shall remain so even if He handles me roughly in His embrace or makes me brokenhearted by not being present before me. He is completely free to do anything and everything, for He is always my worshipful Lord unconditionally."

 

On this level all races rise, not only mathurya race, if they follow in the steps the Lord Caitanya.

Вcе it should inspire. Why, because if who that really greedy (laulyam), than less he has, the can receive more. If I have everything, what I still can receive? What in it prospect? The spiritual life it something very significant, is possible does not worry that I shall miss that that in spiritual life, I shall get not in that rase or suddenly I shall find myself at a great disadvantage. " The Rases distributed, and I have passed and now in best that and has not got. "

 

12 chapters BG describe qualities pure devotee. SB describes greatness of the God and gradually results the person in understanding of events Vrindavan (Krisna lila). CC learns as to follow in the steps Goswami.

 

We can not realize that that maximum, not having realized a beginning. By him(it) if to understand even that that one and to apply it, it is much better, than to try where that to jump.

 

Emotions it not end in itself. The emotions, taste or various stages of fidelity, proceed from the most devoted service. Therefore business not in emotions or taste, business in devoted service.
