You are not a child of this soil. You may be captive here, but this is not your home; this is a foreign land.
If we cross beyond the vision of light-consciousness, we shall find the real necessity of our existence: happiness – ecstasy – and divine love.
After establishing ourselves in the realm of consciousness, we must establish ourselves in the realm of divine love, ecstasy and beauty.
Ecstasy is above light; transcendental mellow is above consciousness. Beauty and charm are above mere consciousness and understanding.
Feeling is not complete in itself. Feeling must be for something. So the fullest conception of a perfect thing is something which is full in beauty or ecstasy.
Ecstasy can exist by itself. Neither existence nor consciousness are complete in themselves. Consciousness alone hankers for ecstasy. And existence without consciousness is to exist with no purpose. Both existence and consciousness are subservient to ecstasy.
To come to the plane of ecstasy, we shall have to dive deep into reality. We must not be satisfied with the formal, the superficial.
Our attitude should be one of humility, and if we think that we are being done wrong, still we should be patient, and under no circumstances should we work for our own position; that should be our aim.
Slow and steady wins the race. Our march towards the infinite is a long journey, not to be finished within a few hours, a few days, or a few years.
(DIVINE WORDS of His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Raksaka Sridhar deva Goswami)
