Once, a Krishna devotee had a dream in which Lord Krishna promised him, “I will soon come to your house to eat Maakhan (butter).”
When the devotee woke up in the morning, his heart was filled with joy. He gathered diyas, flowers, and other decorations and spent the entire day decorating his house and courtyard.
At night, he went to sleep tired, and had another dream. This time, it was not Lord Krishna, but His gopis who appeared in the dream.
One of the gopis asked, “Is all this decoration for Him or for you?”
The devotee said, “The decoration is entirely for Him, of course!”
The gopi said, “Then why don’t you do the decoration the way He likes it?”
The devotee pleaded, “Please tell me what kind of decoration my God likes? I want to make this house dazzle with beauty for His arrival!”
The gopi smiled and said, “Krishna will come in your heart, and eat the Maakhan of your devotion! So do decorate, embellish, and beautify for Him but…
Decorate your mind with pure thoughts and feelings,
Embellish your heart with His remembrance,
Beautify your soul with the garland of virtues…!”
It was as if a secret of many lifetimes had been revealed, and the devotee finally woke up. In the sacred moments of Amrit Vela, he immersed himself in preparing for his God’s arrival…
A truly beautified heart will be the seat of God! Aha… decorate it as the Master likes it and once He enters He will never leave. Thank you Sri Guru ji for this key.
Jai krupadu
Beautiful🙏
Remimds me of Bhagavad Gita satsang where Sri Guru taught us how to make हृदय in our कुरूक्षेत्र ( इंद्रियों के संयम से) .. Thus making place for God to come and reside in our heart (हृदय) ❤😍
Classic. Thank you Shri Guru for sharing. With you and your satsang every day, we are decorating our soul with flowers of pure thoughts and behaviors.
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Dear Shri Guru,
Your teachings, beautifully woven into the story of the Krishna devotee, illuminate the essence of devotion. The gopi’s wisdom serves as a gentle reminder to decorate not just our surroundings but, more importantly, our inner realms with pure thoughts and virtues. Your guidance resonates deeply, guiding hearts to embrace the divine within. Thank you for blessing us with this profound insight.
Gratitude Prabhu 🙏🏻
श्री गुरु, आपका हमारे लिए प्रेम ही हमेशा आपके स्मरण में रखता है। धन्यवाद, श्री गुरु।
Beautiful! Prabhu ji, Thanks for waking us up from our deep sleep and opening our eyes to see Him in all, in this cosmic dream.
Thanks for the waking us up in Amrit vela and coming for us everyday. कोटि वर्ष का स्वप्न भी जागृत हो गया है। प्रमाद छूट रहा है।
कोटि कोटि नमन, वंदन।
शुक्रिया श्री गुरु साहेब जी मनुष्य के जन्मों-जन्म की प्यास को उत्तम आयाम देने के लिए! जिसमें सजावट भीतर करने का बोध दिया है ताकि भीतर से ही कृष्ण प्रकट हो। माखन निकले आत्मिक गुणों का।
बाहर से भीतर दिशा परिवर्तन करना श्रेयस्कर साधन है। अहो, अहो उपकार!🙏🙏🙏
जन्मों-जन्म से बाहर ही सजावटें की हैं और बाहर से ही बाट जोहते रहने का कार्य किया है।
धन्यवाद साहेब जी, दृष्टि पलटा कर भीतर सजावट करने का उपाय करने के लिए।
अनुपम बोध – वस्तु भीतर है प्रकट करने का मार्ग भी भीतर है, ऐसा निर्मल बोध व साधन की कृपा करने हेतु अहो, अहो उपकार!🙏🙏🙏
जय कृपालु। “Soul Spark” शीर्षक बिल्कुल सटीक है। इस कहानी को पढ़ते ही एक ‘स्पार्क’ सा अनुभव मैं आया, जिसे श्री गुरु जी की कृपा से मैं उत्साह से रिलेट कर पा रही हूँ। मन को सुंदर करना है सद्गुरु द्वारा दिए शुद्ध भाव से और हृदय को निरंतर उनके स्मरण से, और शेष कार्य गुरु कृपा और स्वराज क्रिया से स्वयं पूर्ण होगा। बस यही तैयारी तो करनी है, ईश्वर के आने से पहले!!
Wow! अहो उपकार, श्री गुरु जी!
As ever, you sparked our soul in the Brahm Mahurata through this short story. Amazed by how you imparted the depth of spiritual wisdom in such concise manner!
We’re always engaged in outer embellishments, but you took us through the right track, with minimal effort.
Thank you Sri Guru ji for being in my life as my तारणहार.
जय कृपालु श्री गुरु, कोटि-कोटि प्रणाम। These words are very heart touching. And I am also waiting for your blessings and arrival in my heart, decorating my mind and heart with pure thoughts and feelings, and garland of virtues in my soul. I am always in your sumiran, and pray that this increases manifolds! Thank you so much Prabhu🙏
Welcome Sri Guru Welcome
Thank you Sri Guru for beautiful Soul Spark Sri Guru, please strengthen me to reach to purity of mind.
श्री गुरु जी, धन्यवाद 🙏🙏🙏
जीवन भर प्रभु दर्शन के लिए बाहर ही सजावट करते रहें, आंतरिक शुद्धि पर ध्यान ही नहीं दिया। धन्यवाद प्रभु सही दिशा देने के लिए 🙏🙏🙏
