In this world there are unlimited ways to try and accumulate wealth. How much is enough ? Just over five hundred years ago ,Lord Gauranga , the Golden Avatar descended to distribute the holy names and His prominent disciples the six Gosvamis were very happy living under a tree and having a little buttermilk each day.Our society trains us up to do the opposite - accumulate as many material possesions as possible and that will increase your happiness in direct proportion. But the sad fact is that , like a poor animal chasing the mirage of water in the desert , never to have its thirst quenched , only to become exhausted - similarly the pursuit of riches will never satisfy the soul s thirst for unlimited happiness. That is maya , illusion , one of the four defects of a conditioned soul.
Fortunately Sri Guru , the Lords confidential associate comes to this world and shows us the way to a life of real happiness as distinct from the illusion. He , unlike us , has none of the four defects. He is neither illusioned,he doesnt commit mistakes , his senses are not imperfect and he doesnt cheat. Under his loving guidance we can begin to experience a life without anxiety , a life based on the "sublime and precious truth " , namely that our real life is in Vrindavana , The Land of Love , with Sri Sri Radha and Krishna. No amount of effort to be happy in the material world without Them will be successful. No amount of money is ever enough.
sa vai pumsam paro dharmo yato bhaktir adhoksaje
ahaituky apratihata yayatma suprasidati
"The topmost dharma of human life is krishna-bhakti.This bhakti (devotion ) should be unconditional ,without any kind of selfish desires,regular and uninterrupted. By performing bhakti in this manner , one s heart feels contented , perceiving the blissful form of Sri Krishna."Shrimad Bhagavatam 1.2.6
Remembering how my Guruji said that as the river of devotional service becomes stronger , it washes away all obstacles and flows unimpeded ..... Jaya Gurudeva
