is always chanting and dancing
|
Imported quote 16429 Therefore, the guru is always engaged in chanting. Mahaprabhoḥ kirtana-nrtya-gita-chanting and dancing. Unless he performs it himself, how can he teach hisdisciples? So his first symptom is that he will give you such instructions that immediately you will feel relief from all anxiety, and his second symptom: he is always personally engaged in chanting the holy name of the Lord and dancing. Mahaprabhoḥ kirtana-nrtya-gita-vaditra-madyan-manaso rasena: the spiritual master enjoys transcendental bliss within his mind by chanting and dancing. Unless you become blissful, you cannot dance. You cannot dance artificially. When devotees dance, it is not artificial. They feel some transcendental bliss, and therefore they dance. It is not that they are dancing dogs. No. Their dancing is performed from the spiritual platform. Romahca-kampasru-tarahga bhajaḥ. There are sometimes transformations of the body with spiritual symptoms-sometimes crying, sometimes the hairs standing on end. There are so many symptoms. These are natural. These symptoms are not imitated, but when one is spiritually advanced, they are visible.
