Letter No. 2

To, Pulin Krishna Sen:

       None but Nitaiis ready to take other’s burden on His own shoulders. To take refuge at the feet of merciful Nitai is our only duty. Let us all go unto Him, singing His praise and take from Him invaluable love for Krishna in exchange of sorrows and cares. Love of Krishna should be considered as the only object of attainment, and to give us this Nitai has taken so much pain, to give succour and comfort to sinners and afflicted as we are. As there is no limit to our sins, so there is no limit to Nitai’s mercy. Nitai does not discriminate in His mercy. There is no like giver or such a merciful one. Glory to Kali Yuga which saw advent of my Gour and Nitai. Because we are not capable of Yoga, Tapasya, Dhyana or Dharana, He came in our midst as the destitute of destitutes in order to give us the constantly pure Mantra of His name. Say at least once with your body, mind and soul, “Oh Gour! Oh Nitai!” Your heart will be flooded with tears spontaneously and by nature will quench all the fire in your heart, which cannot be quenched by the entire water of the ocean, except by love of Krishna.

       One, who attains Krishna in this birth, can avert Maya, even if surrounded by it. The Lord is playing a game of joy with the whole universe as His stage and is getting enjoyment by the rise of some and fall of others. He remains seated in the centre with His Maya surrounded on all sides. We are all players; the play will end as soon as we touch Him at the centre. Maya is shielding all sides and is not allowing easy passage to anybody. Afraid of a touch of Maya we are running helter-skelter. This play is for joy. If one finds no joy, then he must be out of senses. Take Name of Krishna and live in joy. There will be danger if you deviate from the goal. We all have come here to worship Krishna and may we be able to accomplish that. A screw tightens and loosens on the same thread, only you have to apply the force in different ways; similar is the adoration of Krishna and aversion to Him. In one there is deliverance and in the other, bondage.
