Personality of Godhead, who is the Paramatma [Supersoul] in everyone's
heart and the benefactor of the truthful devotee, cleanses desire for
material enjoyment from the heart of the devotee who has developed the
urge to hear His messages, which are in themselves virtuous when
properly heard and chanted. By regular attendance in classes on the
Bhagavatam and by rendering of service to the pure devotee, all that is
troublesome to the heart is almost completely destroyed, and loving
service unto the Personality of Godhead, who is praised with
transcendental songs, is established as an irrevocable fact. As soon as
irrevocable loving service is established in the heart, the effects of
nature's modes of passion and ignorance, such as lust, desire and
hankering, disappear from the heart. Then the devotee is established in
goodness, and he becomes completely happy. Thus established in the mode
of unalloyed goodness, the man whose mind has been enlivened by contact
with devotional service to the Lord gains positive scientific knowledge
of the Personality of Godhead in the stage of liberation from all
material association. Thus the knot in the heart is pierced, and all
misgivings are cut to pieces. The chain of fruitive actions is
terminated when one sees the self as master." 9) 10) 11) 12) 13) 14) 15) Signed: the most
unfortunate, insignificant beggar A. C. Bhaktivedanta

C Dm Em F G Em Dm G
My dear Lord Krishna, You are so kind upon this useless soul, but I do
not know why You have brought me here. Now You can do whatever You like
with me.
But I guess You have some business here, otherwise why would You bring
me to this terrible place?
Most of the population here is covered by the material modes of
ignorance and passion. Absorbed in material life, they think themselves
very happy and satisfied, and therefore they have no taste for the
transcendental message of Vasudeva. I do not know how they will be able
to understand it.
But I know Your causeless mercy can make everything possible because
You are the most expert mystic.
How will they understand the mellows of devotional service? O Lord, I
am simply praying for Your mercy so that I will be able to convince
them about Your message.
All living entities have become under the control of the illusory
energy by Your will, and therefore, if You like, by Your will they can
also be released from the clutches of illusion.
I wish that You may deliver them. Therefore if You so desire their
deliverance, then only will they be able to understand Your message.
The words of Srimad-Bhagavatam are Your incarnation, and if a sober
person repeatedly receives it with submissive aural reception, then he
will be able to understand Your message. It is said in the
Srimad-Bhagavatam (1.2.17-21):
He will become liberated from the influence of the modes of ignorance
and passion and thus all inauspicious things accumulated in the core of
the heart will disappear.
How will I make them understand this message of Krishna consciousness?
I am very unfortunate, unqualified and the most fallen. Therefore I am
seeking Your benediction so that I can convince them, for I am
powerless to do so on my own.
Somehow or other, O Lord, You have brought me here to speak about You.
Now, my Lord, it is up to You to make me a success or failure as You
like.
O spiritual master of all the worlds! I can simply repeat Your message,
so if You like You can make my power of speaking suitable for their
understanding.
Only by Your causeless mercy will my words become pure. I am sure that
when this transcendental message penetrates their hearts they will
certainly feel engladdened and thus become liberated from all unhappy
conditions of life.
O Lord, I am just like a puppet in Your hands. So if You have brought
me here to dance, then make me dance, make me dance, O Lord, make me
dance as You like.
I have no devotion, nor do I have any knowledge, but I have strong
faith in the holy name of Krsna. I have been designated as
Bhaktivedanta, and now, if You like, You can fulfill the real purport
of Bhaktivedanta.
