Bhakti tattva
Lecture about the importance of Bhakti tattva and is centered around the verse:
bhayam dvitiyabhinivesatah syad
isad apetasya viparyayo 'smrtih
tan-mayayato budha abhajet tam
bhaktyaikayesam guru-devatatma
(Srimad-Bhagavatam 11.2.37)
"Fear arises when a person mididentifies himself as the material body because of absorption in maya, the deluding potency of the Lord. When a person thus turns away from the Supreme Lord, he forgets his eternal constitutional position as a servant of the Lord. Therefore, an intelligent person should engage unflinchingly in pure devotional service to the Lord, under the guidance of a genuine Guru, whom he should accept as his worshipable deity and as his very life and soul.
Spoken 17th January 2009 in the Philippines. It is spoken about the importance of human life, but we can never be happy here. The solution is to move towards service to Krishna, and we can do this by rendering service to a bona fide Guru which is the manifistation of Krishna's mercy.
