<\/a><\/a>Perfection is achieved through the Name<\/span><\/h2>\n

Nama-dvara siddhi-labha<\/span><\/p>\n

One’s service to Radha-Krishna is never disturbed again, and he is absorbed in the highest ujjvala-rasa. One is in a constant state of divine madness.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Name is the greatest treasure; therefore, one must take refuge in the transcendental Name. After reaching perfection through the Name, the Jiva places himself on the plane of pure virtue.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a>The process in brief<\/span><\/h2>\n

Samksepe krama paricaya<\/span><\/p>\n

A person inclined towards bhakti, in association with sadhus, will start chanting the Holy Name in solitude, without excluding anything in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a short time, by gradually following the process, he will achieve all perfection. If he rejects bad company and keeps himself in the company of sadhus, the results will come.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a>Association with Sadhus, favorable isolation and a mood of determination<\/span><\/h2>\n

(1) sadhu-sanga, (2) sunirjana, (3) drdha-bhava<\/span><\/p>\n

Association with sadhus, favorable isolation and a mood of determination: one achieves natural glory based on the strength of these three.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am fallen, petty and absorbed in material things. I neglect the association of sadhus and thus I have robbed myself[1]<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

If You ever expand Your causeless mercy, then my prayer is that I may be permitted to enter bhakti-rasa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saying this, Hari Dasa lost consciousness due to strong exhalation of prema. Then he offered his body at the feet of Sri Gauranga.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a prema-choked voice, the Lord picked him up, hugged him, and spoke these words from His heart.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[1]<\/a> Here Hari Dasa Thakura is showing his natural humility, which is an ornament of prema.<\/span><\/p>\n
