Guest guest Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 Salutations to Thakur, Guru, and Ma! --I bow to Him in the lotus of the heart, who is without any speciality, without desires, One to be Known through Vishnu, Mahadeva, and Prajapati Brahma, One to be meditated upon by Yogins, One beyond the fear of life and death, the Self of Existence-Knowledge-Bliss Absolute, the source of the seeds of the whole universe---God, the Self of the Knowledge of Brahman. --Mahanirvan Tantra Sri Sankaracharya- The wise man realizes in his heart, through Samadhi, the Infinite Brahman, which is something of the nature of eternal Knowledge and Absolute Bliss which has no examplar, which transcends all limitations, is ever free and without activity, and which is like the limitless sky, indivisible, and absolute.

But He MANIFESTS His Divine form ONLY THROUGH Siddha PREMA Bhakti, DIVINE LOVE, to His pure devotees!

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 Jaya Sri Radhey! Lord Krishna has also acknowledged His 'Divine weakness': "aham bhakta parAdhino hyasvataMtra iva dvija" I have no independence as I am under the control of my loving devotees. Srimad Bhagvatam 9.4.63 "The devotees are My heart, and I am the heart of My devotees. My devotees do not know anyone but Me; similarly I do not know anyone but My devotees." Srimad Bhagavatham 9.4.68 The Lord has stated that He comes under the control of His loving devotees, and reciprocates in exactly same way as the devotee surrenders to Him and that is His very own Divine attribute and cann't be changed. "ye yathA mAm prapadyaMte tAm stathaiva bhajAmyahaM" Gita 4.11 According to the manner in which they approach Me, I favor them in that very same manner.
