Gurudeva Balechila Kaniṣṭha E Saba
gurudeva balechila kaniṣṭha e-saba
etadine bhujhilama tāṅra vāṇī-raba
gurudeva-the spiritual master, Bhaktisiddhāta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura; balechila-said; kaniṣṭha-neophyte; e-saba-all these; etadine-after so many days; bhujhilama-I have understood; tāṅra-his; vāṇī-raba-his message.
My spiritual master, His Divine Grace Om Visnupada Paramahamsa Parivrajakācārya 108 Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Goswāmī Ṭhākura, said about all the above mentioned, superficially renounced “vaiṣṇavas” doing their individual separate worship, “They are all kaniṣṭha adhikāri, or neophyte materialistic devotees of the Lord.” After all these days suddenly I have understood the real purport of those words of my spiritual master.
“sāstrayuktye sunipuṇa ḍṛḍha śraddhā yā’ra
uttama-adhikārī sei tarāya samsāra”
śāstra-yuktye-sastric injuctions; sunipuṇa-expert; ḍṛḍha-unflinching; śraddhā-faith; yāra-who; uttama-adhikāri-first class devotee; sei-that; tarāya-delivers; samsāra-material world.
My spiritual master is fully conversant with all the conclusions of the revealed scriptures, and he is a living and prefect examples of how to act in pursuance to the scripture. Moreover, he has intense and complete faith in that devotional service to Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa. He and others with the same qualities are topmost devotees of the Lord, known as uttama-adhikāris, and they are able to deliver the entire material creation by their causeless mercy.
pattitapāvana tini jagatete khyāti
e’patite uddhāraha tabe ta’ sukhyāti
pattita-pāvana-sanctifier of sinful; tini-he; jagatete-in the universe; khyāti-famous; ei-this; patite-this fallen soul; uddhāraha-deliver; tabe-ta-then; sukhyāti-very happy.
The uttama-adhikāri pure devotees of the Lord are glorified all over the universe for being the deliverers of the most fallen souls, therefore, this most fallen soul prays to be delivered out of causeless mercy, for only then shall I achieve real happiness.
kalikālera jīva saba patita adhāma
dekhiyāo nāhi dekhe ihā ki rakama
kalikālera-of Kali-yuga; jīva-the jīvas; saba-all; patita-fallen; adhāma-low; dekhiyāo-seeing even; nāhi dekhe-does not consider; ihā-this material world; ki rakama-how terrible it is.
The conditioned souls in this iron age of Kali are all fallen and the lowest of mankind. Even if they see such an uttama-adhikāri pure devotee of the Lord, they can never understand his actual transcendental position due to their degraded condition.
