Surrender to Krishna: Na Vidya Yesham |
|
|
"That devotee (gopi) who has neither knowledge nor wealth nor any worldly
support, the one does not have any so called virtues nor scriptural masters,
the one whom the "worldly" wise have abandoned considering her/him evil and
useless for their bodily enjoyment, that gopi can become free and saintly by
surrendering herself to Lord Shree Krishna (Gita), who alone is worthy of
the dedication of our body, mind and intellect. Krishna is the Lord of all lords,
the Brahman, the Purusottam, who is world famous as Yogeshwara, who incarnated
Himself as a leader of the Yadu family and He is a lover of the Vraja-gopis. To He I
humbly bow down."
We have been promised in
the Gita (9:30-31) that even the worst evil doer will be called saintly
and beloved by the Lord if he surrenders all
past, present and future activities to the Lord and devotes his entire life
to the service of the humblest of the humble.
It is what we become in the eyes of God
that counts, not what the deluded would think of us. So we must fearlessly
practice the words of our Lord irrespective of what the deluded worldly
people think. Mirabai has shown us the path. She is the best example for all
lovers of God now and in future.
You may replace or choose
the name and form of your God-Incarnate or Saint since the name and form do not
matter as long as it represents Love, Truth, and Joy.
-- Swami Radhanandaji
