Becoming free through hearing

Becoming free through hearing

Posted: 29 Aug 2011 09:18 PM PDT

The first chapter of the Antya lila of the Caitanya Caritamrta is dedicated 
to a drama of Rupa Gosvami and this is the Vidagdha-madhava. 
Ramananda Raya was interviewing Rupa Gosvami about the drama and
 Caitanya Mahaprabhu was listening. And Rupa Gosvami was explaining the 
opening verse. He was saying, "may the pastimes of Krsna reduce the miseries 
of this world and nullify all unwanted desires." So the opening verse was very strong because 
this is our position, we are struggling with this- with material misery and unwanted desire. 
We all have this and Rupa Gosvami is beginning to offer us a solution in our life. And 
he's pointing out that it is by hearing about Krsna that we will rise above the miseries of this world.
 It is by hearing about Krsna that we will become free of unwanted desires.
(Kadamba Kanana Maharaja, August 2011, Spain)

What pleases Krishna?

After receiving initiation at Gaya from Srila Iswara Puri, Sri Gaurasundar, the son of Mother Sachi, returned to Nadiya with a happy heart. One day, Vishwambhar gave transcendental knowledge to some pure brahmin boys of Nabadwip who were his students. Lord Gaura Hari said: pana eka satya vastu - krsnera carana sei vidya - yathe hari-bhaktira laksana
You should study only the one truth - Krishna's feet. One who knows that truth has the ornament of devotion for the Lord. (Text 11)
The sastras describe that anything other than this is ignorance. Do not study anything other than devotion to Sri Sri Radha-Krishna! (Text 12)
Persons intoxicated with pride in their learning, wealth, and birth do not attain Krishna. By devotional service one easily attains Krishna, the Lord of the Yadus. (Text 13)
Krishna is conquered by the nectar of devotional service. To prove this I quote these words from the sastras: (Text 14)
Where was the hunter Dharma's piety, Dhruva's maturity, and Gajendra's knowledge? Where was Kubja's beauty? Where was Sudama's wealth? Where was Vidura's noble birth? Where was Ugrasena's chivalrous strength? Lord Madhava is pleased only by devotional service and not by material qualifications. (Text 15: quoting Rupa Goswami's Padyavali, text 8).
--Adapted from Srila Lochan Das Thakur's Caitanya-mangala, Madhya 1.11-15


A poor man will not propose to an aristocratic girl knowing that he is not qualified to do so. He knows very well that wont work. Similarly we are not qualified for Krishna's love but still we only desire with laulyam-intense greed and with prayerful mood we pray again and again to shower His mercy upon us to revive the lost relationship with Him. Anyways Krishna doesnt see our material qualification or shortcomings but our sincere endeavors to attain Him.

Trying to make ends meet You're a slave to money then you die


'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah

No change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
But I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,no,no,no,no,no(fading away)

Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

No change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I can't change
I can't change it

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
Trying to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah

You know I can't change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no

I can't change my mind
no, no, no, no, no,
I can't change
Can't change my body,
no, no, no

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
That you've ever been down
That you've ever been down

There'll come a time when all of us must leave here

Song : Art of Dying
By George Harrison

There'll come a time when all of us must leave here
Then nothing Sister Mary can do
Will keep me here with you
As nothing in this life that I've been trying
Can equal or surpass the art of dying
Do you believe me?

There'll come a time when all your hopes are fading
When things that seemed so very plain
Become an awful pain
Searching for the truth among the lying
And answered when you've learned the art of dying

But you're still with me
But if you want it
Then you must find it
But when you have it
There'll be no need for it

There'll come a time when most of us return here
Brought back by our desire to be
A perfect entity
Living through a million years of crying
Until you've realized the art of dying
Do you believe me?

Yours
Dinesh
