Developing Vaishnav Quality - Krsna eka saranam - Exclusively surrendered to Krishna
1. LCM taught 26 qualities of a devotee (cc Madhya 22.78-80).
2. We say “I am surrendered”, but I was thinking it is all theoretical. Actually, we are not.
3. We are fearful to surrender. We are scared that Krishna will take away everything from us.
4. We surrender in difficulty and then again when we get some sense gratification we forget. Ex - Indra attacked, vrijbasis and then surrendered and then again fought for Parijat.
5. Gopis left everything for Krishna and did not feel any regret.
6. Bali Maharaj surrendered everything to Vamana dev. He knew Vamana dev will take everything.
7. Avanti brahmana also surrendered. But we should not surrender only when everything is taken away. Ex - Janaka maharaj and Pandavas.
8. When we will develop love for Guru and Gauranga, then surrender process will start.
9. We there will be loving exchanges and when we serve, then we will be able to serve.
10. We should think that Krishna is our protector and maintainer.
11. Whenever difficulties come in life we question, why me? Actually Krishna wants to burn all our karma and take us out in this life. The idea is we should realize that this material world is not for me and surrender.
12. One devotee was going through a court case. When we analysed later we realized how Krishna had orchestrated everything.
13. Gajendra was also very happy with his family and was enjoying the material world and then suddenly a calamity came. He thought he can fight it out, but realizing his helplessness he surrendered.
14. We should surrender before difficulties come.
15. Surrender means we should have faith that Krishna, guru and vaisnava are my protector.
16. Our faith should be deep like roots of a tree or depth of ocean. It is not visible how much a person is surrendered to Krishna and guru.
17. We should not be overdependent on other things like astrology. Maya will not say “Oh this devotee is wearing 10 rings”. She will anyways give threefold miseries to us.
18. Once devotees worshipped Lord Ganesha and distributed lot of books. They didn’t listen to anyone. But SP stopped and said we should be dependent on Krishna.
19. Surrender is not possible with independent nature.
20. When we think I have so much knowledge capacity etc, then it is very difficult to surrender.
21. We should develop the consciousness that I am nothing, just an instrument.
22. SP disciples are so surrendered. Whatever happens I won’t leave you Krishna.
23. When SP’s business collapsed 7 times, he smiled and said “Krishna this is your plan, I am surrendered”
24. SP disciples surrender to SP so blindly that one mataji even married a devotee on the instruction of SP without knowing his name.
25. Pusta Krishna prabhu was asked to go to Pakistan, he agreed. And while returning they were in saffron and were about to be shot, but remain unfazed. The muslim commander left them seeing their surrender.
26. Our society, friends and people like sukracharya will tell us not to surrender, but we should surrender.
