Reflections


When I was in Kiev last year, I ran into an old friend I hadn't seen in many years. Indupati. He told me of his plans to travel to Africa, establish centers and teach Bhakti-yoga there. As part of his project, he recently took sannyasa with the name Bhakti Pradipa Parivrajaka. He asked me to post this short note on humility. 


Humility

by B.P. Parivrajaka


Due to the presence of an unlimited number of conditioned souls here, it is absolutely necessary to be humble. Why? Because I am in the same position as every conditioned living entity. 

Sometimes I may go up and sometimes I may go down. 

At some point I may acquire sufficient sukrti to have the association of a real sadhu. I shall place my head at their lotus feet and pray for their grace and mercy. 

And if and when they choose to distribute what is in their heart with me, I shall have no other duty but to share this with any and every innocently suffering soul. i must never ever forget my tiny insignificant position.

I pray to the lotus feet of my divine master, Lord Sridhara, may He give me a drop of His divine nectar that He has chosen to keep safely and securely within the very core of His transcendental heart, until such a moment when He sees fit to distribute it. 

I bow down my head at the lotus feet and divine halo of my Lord Sridhara.
