Srila Prabhupada Letter to Susan Beckman -- Herts, England August 29, 1973
Due to long term association, the mind absorbed in material things has become contaminated, or dirty, the chanting process purifies the mind. Then the next stage, when the mind is cleansed one becomes free from the symptoms of material existence. Material existence means to be always hankering and lamenting. I must have a ew automobile, I must have more money, I must have good wife, I must have this I must have that. Then when I have the thing, I lament, I have lost my wife, I have lost my money, I have lost my car, simply lamenting. So the second stage is to be free from this anxiety. The third stage is
Brahma-bhutah prasannatma
na socati na kanksati
samah sarvesu bhutesu
mad bhaktim labhate param
"He never laments nor desires to have anything; he is equally disposed to every living entity. In that state he attains pure devotional service unto me." Bhagavad Gita 18/54
The next verse continues, "And when one is in full consciousness of the Supreme Lord by such devotion, he can enter into the kingdom of God." It is further stated in the Gita that when one is so situated even in the midst of greatest danger he is not disturbed. In other words when one has achieved perfection in chanting the Holy name of God he is always joyful, even death does not disturb him, what to speak of other things.

    Srila Prabhupada Lecture on SB 1.2.20 -- Vrndavana, October 31, 1972:
    When one has realized Brahman, prasannātmā, prasannātmā, brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā... Here also it is said, evaṁ prasanna-manasaḥ. The same thing you will find everywhere. There cannot be any contradiction. Prasanna-manasa and prasannātmā, the same thing. So how one can become prasannātmā or prasanna-manasa? That is described here. Bhagavad-bhakti-yogataḥ. Evaṁ prasanna-manaso bhagavad-bhakti-yogataḥ [SB 1.2.20]. If you accept bhagavad-bhakti-yoga, devotional service to the Lord, you shall be prasanna-manasa. You shall be always feeling jolly. If I am not jolly, if I am not prasanna-manasa, that means māyā has attacked me. A bhagavad-bhakta shall never be aprasanna, not joyful. Always joyful. If he is actually in contact with Kṛṣṇa, how he can become morose? No. If he is morose, if he is unhappy, that means māyā has attacked him. This is the test

    At times, when doubts and restlessness assail us, we must remain fixed in our resolve. The best remedy for doubts is to seek the association of saintly persons. Saintly souls who are learned in the conclusions of the revealed scriptures and have realized the Supreme Lord can dissipate our doubts and calm our restless mind with unequivocal instructions and exemplary actions.

    A devotee does not attach much importance to the pains and trouble pertaining to the body because he knows perfectly well that he is not the material body. He does not identify with the body; therefore he is freed from the conception of false ego and is equipoised in happiness and distress. He is tolerant, and he is satisfied with whatever comes by the grace of the Supreme Lord. BG 12.13-14, Purport

    Without being fearless, one cannot be joyful. The bhaktas, the devotees, are fearless and always joyful because they are constantly engaged in the service of the lotus feet of the Lord. SB 4.24.52

    Fill your consciousness with service towards the Lord and keep always within your heart the Divine Darshan of Sri Radha Shyamsunder, Sri Krishna Balaram and Sri Gaura Nitai and dive in the bliss of being Krishna Conscious. Jai Srila Prabhupada!

    • Yesterday's Visit to Ter Kadamba

    When Srila Rupa Gosvami would sit in his bhajan kutir at Ter Kadamba and write about the pangs of separation that Radha and Krsna felt for one another, the leaves of a nearby Kadamba tree would fall off just like tears running down the face of someone in pain. And when Sri Rupa wrote about Radha and Krsna's ecstatic loving reunion the Kadamba tree would immediately sprout new leaves and blossoming flowers. By the mercy of a pure devotee like Srila Rupa Gosvami the Kadamba tree could understand and appreciate the intimate and confidential subject matters which we pray to also understand one day.

     

    Kirtan and Krsna-katha at Ter Kadamba yesterday.
