Mantras:

mat-tulyo nāsti pāpātmā
nāparādhī ca kaścana
parihāre ’pi lajjā me
kiṁ bruve puruṣottama

Translation
“ ‘Dear Lord, let us inform you that no one is more sinful than us, nor is there any offender like us. Even if we wanted to mention our sinful activities, we would immediately become ashamed. And what to speak of giving them up!’ ”

Purport
This verse is from the Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu (1.2.154), by Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī.

bhūmau skhalita-pādānāṁ
bhūmir evāvalambanam
tvayi jātāparādhānāṁ
tvam eva śaraṇaṁ prabho (3)

Translation

Just as the ground is the only support for those whose feet have
slipped, so also You alone are the only shelter, even for those
who have offended You.

Purport
This verse is from the Śrī Bhajana-rahasya

His Divine Grace SRILA BHAKTI RAKSAK SRIDHAR DEVA GOSWAMI MAHARAJ

His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhara Dev Goswami Maharaja is the foremost pure devotee and is the patriarch of the followers of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

He is an intimate disciple and eternal associate of His Divine Grace Prabhupad Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami Thakura, the founder-acarya of Sri Gaudiya Math who masterminded a spiritual revolution to inundate the world with Krsna consciousness. Noted for his uncanny ability to draw out the inner meaning of the scriptures, Srila B.R.Sridhara Dev Goswami Maharaja once composed a poem describing the ontological positions of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura and the line of disciplic succession stemming from Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami was so pleased with his poem that he remarked, “Sridhara Maharaja is carrying the conception of Bhaktivinoda Thakura. Now, I am satisfied that although I may go, at least one man will remain behind who can represent my conclusions.”

As he prepared to leave this mortal world, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami expressed his desire to fix his consciousness on the lotus feet of Sri Rupa Manjari. He called his beloved disciple Srila B.R. Sridhara Dev Goswami Maharaja to his bedside and requested him to sing the famous song of Narottama Dasa Thakura, Sri Rupa Manjari Pada. At that time, in what has been described as a ‘mystic transmission, he gave Srila B.R. Sridhara Dev Goswami Maharaja entrance into the eternal entourage of Sri Rupa Manjari. According to Srila B.R.Sridhara Dev Goswami Maharaja’s vision, however, he was posted as the gatekeeper, the guardian of devotion (Bhakti Raksaka), to protect the storehouse of conclusive truths about the full-fledged theistic conception of Sri Krsna, Reality the Beautiful as presented in Srimad-Bhagavatam and preached by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Why does one choose to live sinfully?

A person may have once had good intentions, but after some time he again turns to sinful life.

Why?

It is because he did not spare time to hear the transcendental topics of Hari, or perhaps he became inattentive, only pretending to hear. He did not at all try to stay aloof from his endeavors for apparent happiness; rather, he became busy looking for sensory happiness on the advice of crooked people. If we take shelter of the Lord’s lotus feet, whether we are educated or uneducated, whether we have strength or no strength, there will be no problem. Actually, the living entity is transcendental. It is only when he thinks himself bound by the qualities of material nature that he becomes attached to the material world.

Sri Sarasvati Samlapa

What is the cause of degradation?

The moment we forget “who am I?” our degradation begins. We become absorbed in various temptations extended to us by material existence. The moment we become even slightly careless, the witch of the illusory energy immediately captures us by the neck and devours us. Unless we constantly hear the topics of the Supreme Lord meant for swanlike persons, there is no way to free ourselves of the clutch of the illusory energy.

Sri Sarasvati Samlapa

Telescopic System

Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami MaharajDo not have disgust towards the sadhu, thinking: “O, he’s just a man. Why should we do service to him, why should we do vaisnava-seva? Why is it recommended so much in different places, in different scriptures? It is always said, ‘You are to be dependent on sadhu’; but I want God, Himself! Why will he come between me and God?” Do not think like that. Rather, you can understand the importance of the sadhu by the example of the telescope: in a telescope, there are so many lenses coming between myself and the object of my search, but they help my vision. The guru-parampara, the disciplic succession, is working in this way, like a ‘telescopic system’.
