| MAIN PRINCIPLES TO BE KEPT IN MIND |
|---|

Pushti souls should never allow ego in themselves. One should always think, 'who is the doer of all action? What is this entire creation? Is there anything other than Prabhu? What great accomplishments has one made, to justify an attitude of egotism'. 'Everything belongs to Prabhu. He alone is master.' By keeping such conviction in the heart constantly, how could one remain attached to anything? If something belongs to our master, how can we have feelings of possessiveness for it? By ignorance, people live in egotism and consequently suffer day and night, encountering conflict and are unable to attain peace of mind. |

In Pushti Marg 'dinta' is an exceedingly essential principle. In reality the human soul is entirely incapable of accomplishing any undertaking. Understanding this, humbleness should naturally arise and if it does not, then, negative and opposing forces (asuravesh) will obstruct the attainment of fruits of Pushti Marg. One will be lost in the delusion of 'doer ship'. The pure sentiments of being a mere humble servent will be destroyed and one will fill himself with the pride and arrogance of being master himself. Without 'dinta', one becomes inextricably trapped in the cycle of pleasure and pain. Dinta is to have the firm knowledge and conviction that whatever that is happening, whatever has happend in the past and whatever that will happen, depends entirely upon the single factor of Purna Prusotam's will and dinta alone is the sole means to please Him. |

'How can Prabhu be experienced?' Is it a question of doing practices and austerities? Can He be known through deep study? In fact, Prabhu's subtle divine form is not subject to such things. It is only when prabhu, out of His own will and desire, bestow His kripa (grace), one can experience HIM. When humbleness develops and one realizes deeply and profoundly that he is unable to do anything without His help, then only, Thakurji pleases, and the ultimate attainment awakens in the heart. This kripa (grace) is entirely and exclusively dependent upon HIS will and desire. |

'When all the creations belong to Prabhu, how is it possible to have any attachment?’ If something belongs to us then, attachment is justified, but it is an illusion and ignorance that we consider something belong to us. Consequently there will be sufferings and endless worries. It is exactly this delusion-caused bondage which is the essence of the human dilemma. After having surrendered all things to Prabhu, where is the necessity for worry? If we surrender to Shri Krishna everything that belonged to us, not only with empty words but with deep conviction and understanding, then at that very moment, one will be freed from all worries. |
| While performing seva and any physical actions
that are being done for Thakurji, if our mind is absorbed in worldly matters,
then, we will not gain any of the benefits of seva. In reality, one should
become detached from all worldly affairs and any such thoughts should
not be allowed to enter into the mind. One should be unceasingly absorbed
with the single exclusive thought of Sri Hari's pleasure. Prabhu is embodiment
of anand (bliss) and His seva should be performed at all times with pleasure.
