Those chains that bind you …
Having fallen into a dark well, how would a person climb out ? After all, it’s deep and very dark, and the sides are wet and smooth and slippery.
The Vedas description of the material world and the impossibility of taking oneself out by one’s own means our chains of illusory desire bind us .
The Vedas says that in this age, three things are needed for a comprehensive rescue remedy.
1. The holy names…the rope that has no limits.
2 . Those who can throw the ropes , Sri Guru and the saints.
3. The scriptures, both in the form of written words and spoken words, they are the pulling mechanism..
Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami has made provisions for the entire world, and the relief work is underway. Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has garlanded the whole world with those Holy names and added love of God to them , Nityananda prabhu is orchestrating everything very nicely ,and His agents are practically conducting the relief work .
What are the chains ?
I want to control the environment and not serve the environment. This consciousness means one enters into the material energies ,the land of Maya , that which is not .
The land of misconceptions of every kind imaginable and then beyond. Starting with the smallest living being, a worm or a microbe, to a national consciousness and their leaders who conduct vicious wars of one kind or another .Every being attempting Lordship.
The harmonized consciousness is a beginning of knowledge. It’s a recognition of the equality of all beings , we are all particles of consciousness. Our absolute position is found in realised knowledge . That we are a particle of consciousness and have the ability to harmonize with others and nature in a peaceful and contented spirit , free from artificial desires that haunt us and hound us .We can be totally free from the influences of a false identity of being just the material body or a turbulent or fading or building intellect , beyond those planes is the soulful expressions Automatically and quickly, this knowledge of consciousness is granted by Nityananda prabhu and Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu . Very swiftly , one frees oneself from the artificial designations of the illusions of Maya, and ultimately the Supreme Personality of Godhead , He is the originator of consciousness , begins to be revealed. Sri Guru is the representative of Nityananda prabhu . It’s Nityananda prabhu’s and Sri Gurus causeless mercy, which is the cause of the ocean of trancendental bliss to increase and exponentially expand in all directions and along with it full knowledge. The deepest and darkest well is no obstacle, Nityananda prabhu rope reaches everywhere, no previous qualifications are needed, just grab the rope of the Divine Holy names, and automatically you will let go of the chains
