Liberated Soul or Slave of Maya: Your Choice
Uploaded from Sri Vrindavan Dhama | |
|
|
 A
devotee of the Lord can serve the Lord in any condition
of material existence. Simply he has to remain always in
strict obedience to the orders he has received from his
spiritual master. In this way he will always remain in a
liberated position beyond the influence of the material
energy. This is confirmed as follows in the
Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu 1.2.187:
īhā yasya harer dāsye
karmaṇā manasā girā
nikhilāsv apy avasthāsu
jīvan-muktaḥ sa ucyate
"One who engages in the transcendental service of the
Lord in body, mind and word is to be considered
liberated in all conditions of material existence."
However, if one deviates from the orders he has received
from his spiritual master, he falls down from his
liberated position and once again becomes a slave of the
material energy.

Answers According to the Vedic Version: | |
|
|
Question: How to Fully Surrender to Krishna? |
|
|
Hare
Krishna, dear Maharaja,
Please accept my humbles obeisances. Thank you once
again for your enlightening guidance. How do we fully
surrender unto the Lord? Many times, I become scared of
situations around me and worry how I will be able to
make it through. Deep down within I know that the Lord
is here to take care, yet I get carried away at times by
fear.
Humbly yours,
Vidya

Answer: Fully Surrender to
Sri Guru. |
|
|
As quoted in the Adi
Purana, Krishna describes to Arjuna the method for being
a fully surrendered devotee of Krishna. One has to fully
surrender himself to the lotus feet of Lord Sri
Krishna's pure representative, the bona fide spiritual
master. This means to take complete shelter of
the spiritual master by initiation and by accepting his
instructions as your very life and soul.
