mother and child

Imported quote 18660 In the previous verse we have discussed that yat tat sattva-gunam svaccham. Svaccham means transparent, clear. Now that svacchatvam is explained, what is the meaning of clarity, clear, uncontaminated. These are the symptom: svacchatvam avikaritvam, "without any change," "freedom from all distraction." Just like here there are many mothers sitting, and the natural affection for the child and the child's complete dependence on the mother's mercy is visible. There is no need of explanation. That is natural. If the mother is taking care of the child, it is not artificial. And if the child is feeling uncomfort without being on the lap of the mother, that is also natural. This is called avikaritvam, natural affection between the mother and the son. Similarly, we have got our natural affection for Krsna. That is explained in the Caitanya-caritamrta:
(More...) Just like sex impulse. It doesn't require to..., how to awaken sex impulse. Natural. Similarly, krsna-bhakti is our natural inheritance because we are part and parcel of Krsna, or sons of Krsna. Aham bija-pradaḥ pita [Bg 14.4]. It is the same example, that as the mother and the child has got natural affection, similarly, with Bhagavan we have got natural affection. Bhagavan has got natural affection for us, and we have got also natural affection for Bhagavan. And the external covering which checks this natural affection, this is called maya. Just like touch... What is called, magnetic stone? Magnetic stone naturally attracts the iron, and iron is naturally attracted by the magnetic stone. Similarly, krsna-bhakti is not something which is unnaturally taught or unnaturally gained, artificial.
