Jamunācārya

Thinking of the spiritual is just like drowning oneself in the ocean of mercy. If we always think of Srila Prabhupada, our loving father, then we can become blissful, for Srila Prabhupada is drowning in the ocean of nectar. But now that we have fallen into the ocean of misery, Srila Prabhupada has come to fish us out with the line if infinite mercy, Hare Krsna. If we bite the line by chanting, then no longer are we caught up in the knot of matter and back on home we go, back to Godhead, to drown with Prabhupada in the nectarine ocean of devotion. No longer shall we be allured by the bait of maya, for once we fix our minds on the eyes of Srila Prabhupada, which are as cooling as the lotus petal, then never again can we see illusion. So I must take shelter at the feet of my spiritual master and try to learn how to serve properly. In this way, I will be able to reciprocate love instead of selfishly letting my father serve me.

Please forgive me Prabhupada
