ÇRÉ NITYÄNANDA CARITÄMÅTA
The whole world is suffering, but if you want peace, then
you take shelter of Nityänanda Prabhu.
heno nitäi bine bhäi, rädhä-kåñëa päite näi
dhåha kori’ dharo nitäir päy
Our real aim of life is how to go back home back to Godhead
and associate with Rädhä Kåñëa. In another song the same
author says,
manuñya-janama päiyä, rädhä-kåñëa nä bhajiyä,
jäniyä çuniyä biña khäinu
Unless you come to Rädhä-Kåñëa, you cannot get real pleasure.
If you want to dance and get pleasure, don’t dance independently.
Dance with Kåñëa. Then you’ll be happy. The dancing
is there, but dancing without association of Kåñëa. Just like
here, in our temple, we are also eating, but we are eating the
remnants of foodstuff left by Kåñëa. That is real pleasure. It is
not that we are stopping eating. We are not stopping eating. We
are not dry philosophers. Kåñëa baro doyämoy, koribäre jihvä
jay, sva-prasäd-anna dilo bhäi. All over the world we are eating
Kåñëa prasädam, and we have got good experience. At least ten
thousand men and women, they are taking Kåñëa prasädam, but
we have no anxiety. A family consists of a few members. They
are full of anxiety how to maintain the family. And we are maintaining
a family of ten thousand men. We have no anxiety. Just
see practically. We require thousands and thousands of rupees
for maintaining Europe, America; a costly affair. But because
we are under the shelter of Nityänanda Prabhu, Balaräma, we
have no anxiety. That means material life means anxiety. You
cannot avoid anxiety if you lead a material life. You will always
be anxious.
That is Prahläda Mahäräja’s instruction. He was asked by
his father, “My dear son, what have you learned, the best thing
from your teachers?” He replied, “My dear best of the asuras.”
