Longing and
Surrendering
Longing to find a true
Divine Saint.
Kripalu
Ji Maharaj believes that longing to find a true
Divine Saint means that we must cry out for him. We must
ask Krishn, our Lord, to make us a devotee of Him and
His rasik Saints, so that we can have his darshan
(affection and association all the time). Your devotion
should not be materialistic either. We must be delighted
to serve him eternally. A method of achieving this bliss
is to constantly do satsang and listen as a disciple.
This will help remove us from materialistic desires and
protect us from all the evils of maya. His Grace will
then give us the Bliss of Divine love, which can only be
attained through Him. We must plead to Him with all our
hearts and follow a rasik Saint.
Surrendering to a true rasik Saint.
You must respect and surrender to the Divine lotus feet of
your Master. His feet are the refuge that reveals the
Divine leelas of Radha Krishn. Remembering the Master’s
lotus feet removes the material aspect of the world and
prevails over maya. The Saint also provides the knowledge
to overcome the ignorance that has left most of mankind in
a lingering state. Furthermore, when the dust of the lotus
feet is applied to the eyes, it gives you the vision to
observe the omnipresence of Krishn and Radha. Respect of
your rasik Saint is crucial in your path to find Bliss.
They will only give you the true knowledge you need to
pursue your passionate cause.
