THE PATH OF 'BHAKTI' IS SO SIMPLE THAT YOU SIMPLY SIT IN THE 'BOAT OF BHAKTI' AND 'KRISHN' WILL NAVIGATE YOU TO HIS 'DIVINE ABODE'. -----JAGADGURU SHRI KRIPALUJI MAHARAJ.

If you truly believe that God is Omniscient and knows better than you what you need, then why do you ask Him for anything? Practice of devotion involves replacing desires for the world with desires for God. There is no happiness or misery in the material world. It is our assumption that causes us to experience happiness or misery in the world.

A devotee should understand that everyone in the material realm is under the influence of the three modes of maya - sattva, rajas and tamas. As the predominating guna changes, people's ideas and behaviors change too. Under these circumstances how can we expect perfect conduct from them?

It is important to understand the fact that nobody can understand Krishna by his own material intellect. When you receive His Grace, only then with that Divine intellect you can understand Him.

One should not harbour resentment even towards someone who is actually condemnable, because Shri Krishn resides even in his heart.

तोहिं पतित जनन ही प्यारे हैं,
हम अगनित पापन वारे हैं!
पुनि कत कर एतिक बेरी, न भुक्ति नाहीं मुक्ति मांगूँ मैं!
नित सेवा मांगूँ श्यामा श्याम तेरी, न भुक्ति नाहीं मुक्ति मांगूँ मैं!
बढ़ें भक्ति निष्काम नित मेरी, न भुक्ति नाहीं मुक्ति मांगूँ मैं!

जगद्गुरुत्तम प्रभु श्रीकृपालुजी महाराज की जय.............

नाम पतित पावन सुनि, निर्भय हवे किय पाप।
यामें दोष बताउ मम, दोषी तो हैं आप।।

हे श्रीकृष्ण! मैंने आपका पतितपावन नाम सुनकर ही निर्भयता पूर्वक दिन रात धुआँदार, बिना सोचे विचारे ही पाप किए। किन्तु इसमे मेरा क्या दोष है? दोष तो आपके 'पतित पावन' नाम का है।
------श्री कृपालुजी महाप्रभु।
