It\u2019s because the two fingers represented a certain specific siddhanta. One finger represented Sva-nistha and the other represented Bhakta-nistha.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 16px\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 16px\">Sva-nistha is Krishna\u2019s determination and bhakta-nistha is the devotee\u2019s determination. Whenever there is any competition with Krishna and His devotee, Krishna always relents to His devotees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 16px\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 16px\">Yasoda Maiya said,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 16px\">\u201cI am going to tie You up!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 16px\">Krishna would then say,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 16px\">\u201dO no you\u2019re not!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 16px\">\u201cO yes I am!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 16px\">\u201cO no you are not!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 16px\">\u201cO yes I am!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 16px\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 16px\">And when Krishna sees you are so determined (Bhakta-nistha) after his resistance (Sva-nistha), then He will surrender to the determination of the devotee\u2019s desire to come to His lotus feet. For it is said by all the Acaryas, that the only requirement to enter into the pure devotional service of Nikunja is Laulyam, greed, greed and more burning yearning greed. When Their pleasure means more to you then your own breath! It won\u2019t be so strong at first, but as they say it\u2019s a gradual process, just like a crawling infant. One day he will be running. So,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 16px\">\u201cCome on baby! Keep coming! Come on baby! We are waiting for you!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 16px\">Srila Prabhupada has given the invitation. The Parampara has paved the way. It\u2019s what we need to do They are waiting for us! And its what we have been looking for forever in all the ways we have tried to be happy and tried to love.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 16px\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 16px\">So I hope that some of you will pray for Their mercy and succeed in the goal of life.
