When the heart is aflame with worldly shame and family honor, how can pure love for the Divine Couple ever blossom?
Even if a person remains constantly engaged in japa, yoga, austerities, charity, religious duties, vows, and disciplines, if the mind is devoid of God’s love, then true welfare, inner peace, and contentment cannot be attained — not even in a dream.
My heart yearns to constantly reside in Shri Vrindavan, where I may behold the enchanting form of the divine couple Shyama-Shyam and witness their blissful rasa pastimes in the secluded groves.
There is no end to the bliss of Vrindavan, for it is the eternal abode of the ever-youthful divine couple, Shri Radha Krishna. Even Lord Hari, while residing in Kamalapur (the abode of Lakshmi, Vaikuntha), constantly longs to reside in the sacred land of Braj.
Be content with whatever sustenance is available, be it vegetables, leaves, roots, or fruits. However, one should never abandon Shri Vrindavan Dham, the sacred realm of the eternal love plays of the divine couple, Sri Radha Krishna, for residing in Vrindavan holds unparalleled glory.
The soul that longs for eternal peace should dwell in the sacred land of Vrindavan, drink the sacred waters of the Kalindi (Yamuna), and constantly chant the holy names of Radha Shyam.
Shri Vrindavan Dham is truly blessed, a treasure trove of all joys, where the golden-hued Radha and the dark-hued Krishna, the very life of the Rasikas (transcendental lovers), are eternally absorbed in their love-play of Nitya Vihar.
One should engage in the association of the Rasikas of Vrindavan to learn the art of meditating on Shri Radha Krishna and nurturing the appropriate emotions. According to Shri Lalit Ladaiti Ji, the true welfare of the soul is achievable only through the devotion of the divine couple, leaving no scope for any other alternative path.
Forsaking the sacred dust of Vrindavan, one who roams to other lands loses this priceless human life to embrace nothing but suffering in the end.
O mind, renounce sensual desires, and reside in Vrindavan Dham. Associate with Rasika saints, and chant the name “Radhey Shyam”.
Beholding the enchanting beauty of the divine couple, Sri Radha Krishn, with eyes that shed no tears, consider the heart to resemble solid stone.
With unwavering devotion, my sole yearning shall be to perpetually behold the enchanting form of the divine couple, Sri Radha Krishn, and to eternally dwell in Sri Vrindavan Dham.
