NARADA BHAKTI SUTRAS
the blade of grass which is trodden by the feet. That
man only can sing always Hari's name. It is difficult
to develop this virtue. One has to kill himself and
remain like a block of stone. The stiff egoism asserts
again and again.
In the Bible you wil find: "Blessed are the poor
in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed
are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." Lord
Jesus speaks very highly of this virtue humility in his
sermon on the mount.
Just as fire removes the sensation of cold only of
those who approach it, so also God removes the bond-
age of those who worship Him with earnestness and
approach Him through daily prayer, right conduct
and meditation.
Krishna said to Radha: "There are those who
think themselves separate from Me. I rob them of
their all and then when they see Me, all the tie of the
world disappears. There are those the worldly-
minded who kill the Self in them. I am cruel to them,
but even to them I am kind for I confer happiness
upon them in their grief. All souls are my favourites:
I play many games with them till they forget all that
is selfish, till they love Me for the sake of love alone,
as thou now doest, O Radha !"
