Sree Sree Guru Gaurangau Jayatah!
The greatest impediment in Nam-Bhajan is the vilification of sadhus. We should remember the teachings of Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Those who are humbler than a blade of grass, more forbearing than a tree, giving due respect to all, but not desirous of getting respect from others, are eligible to perform Harinam Sankirtan. We should censure ourselves. We should not take the risk of censuring others.
Sri Narasingha Bhagawan removes our obstacles of Bhajan. It will be good for you to remember Him daily. You are to pray for the grace of Patitapavan Nityananda Prabhu, Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu, and Vaisnavas. They will show you the right path. We should always remember Narasingha Deva—morning, day time, evening, and night.
Association of bona fide Shudha Bhaktas is essential for getting enhancement in spiritual life. It is better to go through Bhakta-Charitras—biographies of devotees in Srimad Bhagavatam, as we get impetus from Bhaktas how they attained God.
An enslaved jiva cannot rescue himself from the clutches of Maya by his own capability, as long as he remains averse to Sri Krishna. Only a sincere, completely surrendered soul can rescue himself from the clutches of Maya by the Grace of Sri Krishna and His Absolute counterpart Gurudeva. Saranagati is the Divine Panacea of all diseases. Invoking Sri Krishna from the core of the heart is the best expression of Saranagati.
