If the hat fits, wear it! (Ascending vs. Descending Bhakti Yoga)

[Guest guest]

500 years ago Lord Chaitanya was a friend with Vallabhacharya. And they both agreed

on Pusti Marg (pusti=mercy). There is the ascending process where we,

by our own strength, kick Maya in the arse and force our way into

Vaikuntha. It's for "tough guys" who are SO goddamn GREAT! - and is

also called "monkey logic" because the monkey must hold on to it's

mother by itself.

 

But ours is descending process (called "cat logic") where the kitten is

helpless and must be picked up and carried by it's mother - being

helpless.

 

So ascending process and descending process. We are like kittens

compared to Krishna's Maya - or are we RAMBO the all-powerful

monkey?.... See More

 

And this applies to Bhajan. Some devotees realize "svarupa-siddhi" by

bhajan before death (ascending process), and some realize "svarupa

siddhi" at the instant on death, by the mercy of Krishna.

 

BSSP was a Sadhana-siddha, but Srila Prabhupada was a Kripa siddha - as we discussed together in 1973Richard Shaw Brown, PGMusician, Designer, Gemologist & Authorwww.richardshawbrown.com
