Sree Sree Guru Gaurangau Jayatah!
This human birth is precious. More precious, almost unattainable I should say, is the association of a bona fide sadhu. It is difficult to get bona fide sadhus; bona fide sadhu not in words. A sadhu practically performs bhajans every moment, engaging all his senses for the service of Radha Krishna, Gauranga Mahaprabhu. He sets an example of worshipping the Supreme Lord. You rarely find such. After getting this human birth and coming in contact with sudha bhakta, if you do not realize then you are most unfortunate. By coming in contact with sadhus, what we do? We go to the sadhus, go to the temple for getting temporary material benefits. We go to the sadhus to ask for a son, “You give me a son, a beautiful wife, give me wealth, money.” You will get it. Great sinners have got money. Without committing sin nobody can get money. You go there. Why you have come here to the sadhus to get temporary benefits? If they are bona fide sadhus they cannot give you this. They cannot deceive. They cannot give temporary things by which ultimately the living entities will repent. They cannot deceive the world. Sadhus cannot deceive. Go to the sinners. They have the wealth and everything, why you have come to the sadhus? A bona fide sadhu is seldom to be found. He who actually is speaking Harikatha, glories of the Supreme Lord, is seldom to be found. Those who are not an example, those who themselves are not performing bhajans, cannot speak about Krishna. Platform speakers cannot speak about Krishna. Those who are business-minded, platform speakers, professional, ‘You give me $500 I will speak,’—they are speaking about money, not about Krishna. If you speak about Krishna, Krishna will protect you. If you have no belief what is the use of performing bhajans? If you take shelter of a human being, serve him, he will be forced to protect you; any human being. He may be a mischievous person but if you go to his house without wanting anything and you go on serving him, he will be forced to protect you. The Supreme Lord, Lord of all Lords, is the protector and sustainer of all. So, if you take shelter to Him, will He not protect you?
