Shri Dhruv Dasji says that I am going to speak the most confidential philosophy, and listen very carefully. Fix your mind on the lotus feet of the divine couple, Sri Shyama Shyam, and ensure you do not lose this golden opportunity of human birth, else you will surely have to repent forever in the future.
After wandering through various life forms, it is by great fortune that one obtains this rare human body. Therefore, one should steadfastly devote oneself to the lotus feet of Yugal Kishor, the divine couple Shri Krishna and Radha.
Just as passing through a burning flame while seated on a horse of wax is an immense challenge, so too is the journey along the path of divine love. In most cases, spiritual aspirants fail to follow this path of divine love.
Now, the most auspicious path of all is to relinquish all worldly attachment, seek the company of exclusively dedicated Rasika saints, and love the divine couple, Śrī Śyāmā-Śyāma, alone.
Those whose hearts are deeply immersed in the color of love for the divine couple, and who allow no room in their hearts for any other form of sādhana-bhajana apart from this rasa, are alone truly qualified to drink the nectar of the wondrous rasa of Vṛndāvan's Nitya Vihāra.
Śrī Dhruvadāsa Jī says that if one wishes to advance upon this path of rasa-bhakti, one should abandon worldly dealings and cultivate exclusive love for the beautiful, tender lotus feet of the Divine Couple.
Many strive through the path of philosophical knowledge to attain the Supreme Truth, yet such labor is ultimately fruitless. Just as a feast prepared with many dishes remains tasteless without salt, so too knowledge alone is incomplete without the essential nectar of divine love.
The path of pure divine love is contrary to the ways of the material world; the mind can never fully comprehend it. On this path, one should remain indifferent to praise and find even insults delightfully sweet.
This divine nectar of love has neither been directly seen nor even heard of apart from nitya-vihāra. Within these eternal rasa, the love, identities, and eternal youthful ages of the Lover and the Beloved remain forever perfectly harmonious and unchanged, while the divine Couple remains perpetually immersed in love-plays that transcend both union and separation.
How astonishing it is that those attached to worldly pleasures continue to relish only the fruits of illusion, though they bring nothing but endless suffering, yet never turn their minds toward the ever-blissful nectar of the divine Couple.
Now there remains only one supreme path: to constantly behold the lotus feet of Śyāma-Śyāma within your mind, immerse yourself in selfless love for Them, renounce worldly attachment, and reside forever in Śrī Vṛndāvana.
O mind! Resolve firmly that you must now become completely immersed in love for the lotus feet of Śrī Priyā-Priyatama. Thereafter, at every moment, sing the glories of Their supremely sweet pastimes and divine qualities, and dance in loving ecstasy.
