Jednostavnost

Jedne večeri, babaji su pošli na počinak a jedan od njih imao je malenu palicu.

Upitao sam ga: "Kakva je to palica? Nikada je nisam vidio."

Odgovorio mi je: "Tu obitava opasan leopard koji jede ljude i koji je već ubio nekoliko ljudi. Vidjeli su ga kako se večeras penje uz brdo. Prema hramu."

Hare Krsna. Bili smo samo trojica ondje. Spavali smo na istom mjestu na kojem sad sjedimo, na zemlji. Bilo je ljeto pa nam je bilo prevruće za spavanje u špiljama. Stoga sam ga upitao: "Ako dođe leopard koji jede ljude, misliš da će nas ta mala palica zaštititi?"

Odgovorio je: "Ne. Samo nas Sri Radharani može zaštititi, ali ona će nas zaštititi samo ako mi damo sve od sebe da se zaštitimo."

Ovakva jednostavnost je luksuz u Vrndavani, jednostavnost bhaktine vjere u milost Sri Sri Radhe i Krsne, i mi dolazimo u Vrndavan pokušavajući pronaći takvu jednostavnost u našim srcima.

Srila Rupa Gosvami je to objasnio, ako želimo privući Krsnu, moramo se osloboditi dvoličnosti. Jednostavnost znači bez dvoličnosti. Bez kušnji. To smo što jesmo. Ne trebamo pokušavati biti nešto drugo. Samo trebamo istinski i iskreno nastojati zadovoljiti Krsnu. Naš iskreni trud je naša devocijska služba. Jednostavnost, također, znači da ne želimo ništa drugo osim zadovoljiti Krsnu.

Simplicity

One night, the babajis were sleeping and one of them had a little stick.
I ask him: " What is this stick? I never seen stick."

He said: "There is dangerous man-eating-leopard that it already killed
several peopel. They saw him climbing the hill tonight. Toward the templ."

Hare Krsna. We were just the three of us. We were sleeping just were we are
sitting now, just on the ground. Because it was summer, it was to hot to go
in the caves. So i asked him: "If the man-eating-leopard comes, do you think that little stick is going to protect us."

He said: "No. Only Sri Radharani will protect us, but she will only protect
us if we do our best to protect ourself."

This simplicity is the opulence of Vrndavana, the simplicity of the devotees
faith in the mercy of Sri Sri Radha and Krsna, and we come to Vrndavan to
try to  capture within our hearts that simplicitiy. Srila Rupa Goswami explains
that, if we whan to attract krsna, we must be free of the duplicity.
Sipmlicity means no duplicity. No cruckedness. We are what we are. We are not trying to be something else. We don´t have to lie, we don´t have to cheat, we don´t have to proof anything to anyone. We just try to sincerely and honestly please krsna by our honest efforts in our devotional service. And also, simplicity means, that we realy dont wan´t anything else except krsna.
