Text 107] Life’s Ultimate Goal 65
“eagerness.” The word agraha means “not to accept.” We should not follow
regulative principles without an effect, nor should we fail to accept the regulative
principles. What is required is a special technique according to country, time and
candidate. Without the sanction of the spiritual master, we should not try to imi-
tate. This principle is recommended here: suska-vairagya-jfana saba nisedhila.
This is Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s liberal demonstration of the bhakti cult. We
should not introduce anything whimsically, without the sanction of the bona fide
spiritual master. In this connection, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura com-
ments on these points by quoting two verses by Sri Rapa Gosvami (Bhakti-
rasdmrta-sindhu 1.2.255-256).
anasaktasya visayan
yatharham upayufjatah
nirbandhah krsna-sambandhe
yuktam vairagyam ucyate
prapaficikataya buddhya
hari-sambandhi-vastunah
mumuksubhih paritydgo
vairagyam phalgu kathyate
“When one is not attached to anything but at the same time accepts everything
in relation to Krsna, one is rightly situated above possessiveness. On the other
hand, one who rejects everything without knowledge of its relationship to Krsna
is not as complete in his renunciation.” To preach the bhakti cult, one should
seriously consider these verses.
