SHIKSHAPATRA 28^TH

 TOTAL SHLOKA : 24

In this Shikshapatra Shri Hariraiji Mahaprabhu told us about the ways to request and worship Shri Thakurji with kindness, humbleness to get the krupa of Shri Thakurji.

Jai Shree Krishna!!

Please feel free to correct mistakes if any…..

1)         In Pushtibhakti we worship Shri Krishna as son of Nandraiji hence Shri Hariraiji Mahaprabhu says waiting for when shall Shri Krishna shower His blessings n krupadrishti on His bhaktas, we are becoming impatient. In vigyapti’s also Shri Gusainji says whatsoever I might be but I’m Your follower, so please don’t leave me apart from You, keep me in Your lotus feets.

2)         Shri Krishna You are the sea of kindness, You are king of whole universe n we, jeevs. We are part of You so how can You avoid us?? This thought has disturbed the mind. In vigyapti’s also Shri Gusainji says What should I say n how should I praise You as I’m coz of You only.

3)         You are always engrossed in peace and pleasure and hence don’t bother for worldly affairs but Your bhaktas are in world for You only so You can’t leave them You will accept them as they are. In vigyapti’s also Shri Gusainji says Jeev is full of dosh n can’t be considered but Lord Krishna You are sea of kindness so please don’t consider the capability of jeev and please kindly accept them as they are.

4)         For jeev everything is Thakurji only. What n how to praise Him? Rather than You jeev doesn’t considers or thinks about anything. Jeev is in your shelter n knows nothing more than it. In Vivekdhairya ashray Shri Mahaprabhuji says in feasible or miserable conditions Shri Thakurji is everything n jeev should have His shelter only.

5)         So when Thakurji is everything for jeev, leaving away from Him is very painful. Jeev is tucked in worldly affairs n getting worried. Jeev is very much disturbed with this all and only darshan can’t satisfy so prays to Thakurji please give an opportunity to do Your seva, have darshan n charansparsh; a chance to hear the sweet venunad.

6)         If You shall leave the jeev coz of his doshs then the promise given by You to Mahaprabhuji shall be broken. You can’t break that promise. Once Shri Mahaprabhuji had done the brahmasambhand of jeev with You all doshs are cleared. Hence for sake of the promise that You gave to Shri Mahaprabhuji please accept me, n keep me in Your kindness.

7)         Jeev is very useless, had done so many sins since childhood, had never done seva with true bhaav according to Pushtimarg. But Thakurji You are capable, full of all superior qualities. Hence please don’t consider jeevs mistakes. In vigyapti’s Shri Gusainji says though jeevs mistake are grave but in front of Your kindness they are nothing… So please accept the jeev.

8)         You are kind hence so please don’t consider shortcomings of jeevs. With grace of Shri Mahaprabhuji jeev has came to this path of grace and You have accepted it. But jeev can’t serve You properly instead commits lots of mistakes. Please ignore those mistakes and accept the jeev. In vigyapti’s Shri Gusainji also says same thing.

9)         You are well settled and holder of great qualities. Then too You may get exhausted counting jeevs endless mistakes. So please don’t consider them n shower Your blessings on jeev coz in front of You, all mistakes are very minute.

10)       Jeev is tucked in worldly affairs n feels miserable  as it’s addicted to world. Then too it’s Yours so please don’t leave it.

Jai Shree Krishna
