We receive confirmation from our heart’s approval, our inner approval. We must trace it to there because that took me to my Guru. Guru is all in all, but who took me to my Guru? It was my inner sentiment, my inner guide. It did not like anything else in the environment but instead selected that advice.
Many others do not care to come here, and many may ridicule this life, but what made ‘me’ come here? I cannot deprecate that internal approval, consciousness and sincerity. Therefore, that is an important factor and ultimately we have to depend on that internal consciousness the most. When collecting advice from the Scriptures and when seeking or relying on advice from a sadhu, the only thing that takes me there is my internal approval, my inner friend. If it were not for that I would not have come. Indeed, so many others do not come. So who has taken ‘me’ to this plane?
Na hi kalyana-krt kascid, durgatim tata gacchati (Srimad Bhagavad-gita 6.40)
One who sincerely wants real good can never be deceived. When one is a real seeker of the truth, he can never be deceived. Krishna says:
“My dear boy, one who is sincerely hankering after the truth can never come across misfortune. If apparently, some misfortune comes to visit him along the way, that is to enhance his position for his improvement.”
