Default What is a tiny soul actually able to do unless You act? by Srila Bhaktivinoda - 06-15-2003, 06:58 AM

Goptrtve-Varana
From Saranagati by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura
dara-putra-nija-deho-kutumba-palane, sarvada vyakula ami chinu mane mane

kemone arjibo artha, yasa kise pabo, kanya-putr-vivaha kemone sampadibo

ebe atma-samarpane cinta nahi ar, tumi nirvahibe prabhu, samsara tomar

tumi to' palibe more nija-dasa jani, tomara sevaya prabhu bodo sukha mani

tomara icchaya prabhu sab karya hoy, jiva bole, - 'kori ami', se to' satya noy

jiva ki korite pare, tumi na korile, asa-matra jiva kore, tava iccha-phale

niscinta hoiya ami sevibo tomay, grhe bhalo-manda ho'le nahi mora day

bhaktivinoda nija-swatantrya tyajiya, tomara carana seve' akincana hoiya

Within my mind I have always been anxious for the maintenance of my wife and children, my own body and relatives.

How will I earn money? How will I arrange the marriages of my sons and daughters?

Now, through self-surrender, I have been relieved of all anxiety. O Lord, surely You will provide for the maintenance of Your own household.

Recognizing me as Your own servant, You will certainly maintain me. While rendering service unto You, I feel the greatest happiness.

All events take place only by Your will, O Lord. The deluded soul of this world declares “I am the doer!” but this is pure folly.

What is a tiny soul actually able to do unless You act? The jiva can only desire to act, and unless You fulfill his desire by Your own sweet will, he cannot do anything.

Being free from all anxiety, I will humbly render service unto You. If any good or evil should occur while serving in Your home, it will not be my responsibility.

Bhaktivinoda thus completely renounces his own independence and engages in the exclusive service of Your lotus feet with no other interest in life.

<<What is a tiny soul actually able to do unless You act? The jiva can only desire to act, and unless You fulfill his desire by Your own sweet will, he cannot do anything.>>

and krishna says to arjun:
"fight".

yuddhAya krita nishchaya.

akarma and vikarma cannot help.

to say
"krishna, if you want to save us from the terrorist, then save us, but we will not fight terrorists in any way. we will say that allah is same as krishna"
is nothing but cop out from the due karma as prescribed by krishna in gita.

jai sri krishna!
