Obtain from Him the love of God, the pure love praised by the devotees,
Which snaps in twain the shackles that bind you to the world?
Gospel P.667: Even sinners like prostitutes will be saved if they cry for God with a
yearning heart and promise not to repeat their sins. What will mere chanting of Haris
name accomplish? One must weep sincerely.
P.329: In the beginning of spiritual life a man should know about sin and how to get rid
of it. But when through the grace of God, devotion and ecstatic love of God are awakened
in the heart then he altogether forgets about virtue and sin. The he leaves scriptures and
their injunctions far behind. Thoughts of repentance and penance do not bother him at all.
It is like going to your destination along a winding river. This requires great effort for a
long time, but when there is flood all round, then you can go straight to your destination
in a short time. Then you find land lying under water deep as a bamboo pole. It is like
going over a paddy field after the harvest is over. You may then walk in any direction.
Even if there be stubble in the field, you can walk over it if you have shoes on your feet.
Just so an aspirant does not suffer if he has discrimination, dispassion and faith in the
Gurus words.
48. Sometimes the mm of deserving man is taken away by a curse from a holy man.
The holy mans curse makes the mm fructify at once without any delay and his love
always provides a means of escape from the effects of the curse through the touch of
another holy man or Avatara. Thus two holy persons cooperate to rid him of his evil
karma caused by himself and he attains the Highest through holy association. Thus the
curse of saint is itself full of love and redeems the sinner by the punishment given as in
the case of the punishment given by the king. Cf. Manu: - UepkiShQxi Miu mml
