Sree Sree Guru Gaurangau Jayatah!

Remembrance of Guru-Vaishnav-Bhagavan will remove all obstacles of bhajan and can bestow the desired devotional objective; but the problem is this: a conditioned soul cannot remember Them with the material mind. They are beyond the comprehension of material mind and intellect, harih nirguna sakshat prakrirteh parah--Supreme Lord Sri Hari is transcendental and as such, beyond material comprehension. We cannot remember Guru-Vaishnav-Bhagavan, cannot sing Their transcendental infinite glories, and cannot even pray for Their grace without their causeless mercy.

Pranatabhigamyam mudhair avedyam: "They are accessible to the completely surrendered soul, and inaccessible to the ignorant soul that resists surrender." Nobody can comprehend Their transcendental qualities with a challenging mood. Surrendered souls can have realization of Their transcendental qualities as per the degree of their submission.  No wise person who has got a glimpse of the concept of Ultimate Reality can say that his realization is perfect and complete.

jananta eva janantu, kim bahuktya na me prabho
manaso vapuso vacho, vaibhavam tava gocharah
(Srimad Bhagavat 10.14.38)

Lord Brahma pronounced, "I do not want to make a pompous display of words." The wiseacres may pretend to think that they know Your glories and the glories of Your entourage, but I, with assertion, say that they are not accessible to Me."
Yet,  in spite of our deficiency, if we have got humbleness, Guru-Vaishnav-Bhagavan will forgive our offenses and out of causeless mercy, will accept us as their servitors. The moment we become proud and arrogant, we shall fall from devotional life and all our efforts will be futile, as those efforts have got no connection with the Supreme Lord and His devotees.

It is the order of my most revered divine Master, Om Vishnupad 108 Sri Srimat Bhakti Dayita Madhava Goswami Maharaj, to recite what I have heard so far from the lips of Guru and Vaishnavas, to purify my mind and to get devotion to Sri Krishna. So, wherever I go, I try to obey the direction of my divine master to recite the sayings of Guru, Vaishnava, and authentic scriptures, although I have got my own drawbacks.

– Jagad-guru His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj
