Men of discernment deal only with the present moment.

Posted by dinesh

"We should not fret for what is past, nor should we be anxious about the future; men of discernment deal only with the present moment."

You cannot worry too much about the faults you've done in the past, move on. To achieve great things in the future, you need to have the commitment today and not postpone hard work. Try out ideas the instant you get them. Just do it, life becomes so much more exciting - Canakta Pandit

We have natural attraction for Krishna!

Posted by dinesh

Krishna consciousness is not a thing to be taught. It's already there within us. All we need to do is to revive it by associating with the devotees of Krishna.
Just as a young man and woman has natural attraction for each other,the soul has natural attraction for Krishna. One instance to understand is when Lord Caitanya went through the forest of jharkhand, he called the wild animals to chant and dance. Tiger and deer embraced out of Love and danced with Lord Caitanya. This shows when our Love for Krishna is revived,we naturally feel Love for all other living beings regardless of the external coverings of the soul.

By becoming a Vedic scholar,Krishna cannot be attained.It's by the mercy that flows from Krishna through His devotees, spiritual master it becomes possible to re-establish the lost Love for Krishna.

This revival of Krishna consciousness or the dormant Love for Krishna only can put off the blazing fire of lust which is burning in the hearts of the conditioned souls.

It's not the number of verses a person can quote from the vedas,it's the mercy the devotee carries within his heart to the other conditioned beings which revives the lost Love for Krishna. Of course the vedic literature can also be used by the devotees to establish the principles that invoke devotional service to the Lord.

TRANSLATION

1) I know now Your divine feet are a refuge free from all sorrow and fear, eternally full of sweet nectar.

2) At the soles of those lotus feet I surrender myself and all I possess.

3) O Lord, there is no other protection but You in this world of birth and death.

4) At last I know myself to be Your eternal servant, whose maintenance You have assured.

5) Life before, without You, held nothing but sorrow. Now I live free from all misery

6) Laksmi, desiring such a place at Your lotus feet, executed austerities. Only after securing a place by Your lotus feet did Lord Siva attain his sivatva, or quality of auspiciousness.

7) Upon obtaining those feet Lord Brahma became successful in life, and the great sage Narada Muni held those two feet to his heart.

8) Your lotus feet drive away all fear. Having held them to my head, I dance in great ecstasy, singing their glories.

9) Your lotus feet will deliver Bhaktivinoda from the perils of worldly journey.
