The Purest Prayer


Devotee: Mahrj, also regarding Tulas DevI noticed that at this Mah, while
circumambulating Tulas during her rat here, the devotees dont like to chant the
mantra yni kni cha ppni brahma-hatydikni cha, tni tni praayanti
pradakiah pade pade (Those who circumambulate rmat Tulas Dev step by
step destroy whatever sins they have committed, even the killing of a brhma).
Why is this?
rla rdhar Mahrj: A devotee of a higher order must not have any prayer to
absolve me from sin. The first-class devotee will pray, Whatever I have done

wrong, I am ready to suffer for that, to the farthing. But my prayer is only that I
may get a drop of the nectar of the favour of Ka. That should be the prayer of a
real devotee.

According to my karma, I may be a bird, I may be a beast, I may be a worm or an


insect, I may be in heaven or in hellI dont care about that. According to my own
karma, let me suffer accordingly. But my only prayer is, Let me not be devoid of
the favour of Ka; let me get that. I want His grace. I want devotion for Him,
only devotionthat is all I want. Whether I have to enjoy the result of my good
works in heaven, or I have to suffer for the misdeeds of my previous life and go to
hell, I dont care to get out of that. As a result of my karma, I shall have to suffer or
enjoy, but I dont care about that. My prayer is not to remove the reactions to my
sins, to take away any good merit or bad result, but only that I may obtain pure
devotion independent of these two.

I do not want release from either happiness or suffering; let it be, according to my
previous karma. Rather, what I want from this moment on is that I will never try to
waste the favour of Ka by only praying to be able to face any eventuality, and
that whatever I shall acquire from now on, however small, even a drop, that must
be nectar of the highest order, and the lower delegation can deal with the question
of heaven and hell.

For removing our reactions or delivering us from hell or heaven, many lower
agents are required; they can do that. But we shall only pray for Kas favour as a
positive attainment and never try to minimise our previous karma: the result of a
bad activities performed due to misconception. I dont care about the passport; I
want the visa. If I get the visa, no passport trouble will be able to disturb me. It is
something like that. So, to merely do away with my, misconception, is nothing.
The positive attainment in the domain of Ka is a much higher thing. By passing
my, we can attain Viraj, Brahmaloka. We can get mukti (liberation), the
marginal position. But why should I waste my energy only to acquire a position in
the marginal plane? All my attempts must be focussed toward the prayer for a
position in Goloka, and that will be a gain of the very highest order. I shall pray
only for that, and automatically everything else will be accomplished.
