Today's Thought: |
 |
Drop of Water on a Lotus Leaf
Uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram--Austin,
Texas USA |
|
|
|
 Our
situation in this material world
is very precarious. Just as a drop of water on a lotus
leaf can easily fall off at any time, we have no
security in this material world. We can be vanquished by
the all-powerful material energy within a second. But if
we take complete shelter of Krishna, fully
depending on Him, by His grace we will always be
protected in all times, places, and circumstances.
Therefore the great Vaisnava poet and philosopher,
Govinda Das, has very nicely sung as follows:
e dhana, yaubana, putra, parijana
ithe ki āche paratīti re
kamala-dala-jala, jīvana ṭalamala
bhajahū hari-pada nīti re
"What assurance of real happiness is there in all of
one's wealth,
youthfulness, sons, and family members? This life is
tottering like a drop of water on a lotus leaf;
therefore you should always serve and worship the divine
feet of Lord Hari."

If we heed these words of Govinda Das, we will no longer
be afraid of the material energy. We will always feel
safe in Krishna's shelter, even though we are in such a
tottering, insecure, drop-of-water-on-a-lotus-leaf-like
position within this material world.

Answers According to the Vedic Version: |
|
|
|
Question: How to Know If I Have Found My Guru? |
|
|
The
majority of your articles talk about full surrender.
This is possible for people who tasted the presence of
their true guru. But I want to put my doubt humbly. How
one can know that he has found his guru?
Enlighten me.
