Faith and Saranagati

Book, Sreela Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj

  • The biggest point is faith. With faith, man, woman, child - all can get Bhagavan by calling out. Dhruva had unflinching faith that the Lord would definitely come. Due to faith he got the mercy of the Supreme Lord Hari. The Lord's heart was melted by the loud calls. Dhruva was only a child. He did not know the sanskrit prayers. He only called for the Supreme Lord loudly. When the Lord becomes pleased, unfavourable becomes favourable. Narada Muni himself came to meet Dhurva and told him the method of performing the austerities. After only six months of severe austerities, Dhruva saw the divine form of the Supreme Lord Vishnu with conch, disc, club and lotus flower.

    If you want darkness, light will not come and if light comes, how can darkness remain? The two cannot exist simultaneously.

    The eternal nature of the soul is causeless devotion to the Supreme Lord. No one can stop this.

    Saranagati is unending. The Qualities of Krishna are unending and will descend according to the degree of saranagati, both endless and infinite.

    Krishna is the nearest and the dearest. Whatever you are thinking in your mind Krishna sees first and only then can you see it. You can see nothing without His grace.
