Arrangement of Maya
Q. by Bhakta Igor:
Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krsna
Dear Gurudeva,
How can we know difference between Krishna's arrangement and Maya's test? We may see that many advanced devotees felt on different Maya's test. Is there any hope for us then?
Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krsna
Answer by Swami Gaurangapada:
Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! Jaya Shri Guru Parampara! If a devotee is sincere, steady and constant in Naam Bhajana, then he or she will know whether it is Maya's test or Lord Gauranga Krishna's arrangement.
Actually in the path of Bhakti, no one falls down except for those who criticize devotees as the Bhakti we have performed is never lost. It remains forever attached to the soul. It is only a temporary loss of time and we will start again in the future in this life or the next lives until we attain 100% perfection in pure love for Lord Gauranga Krishna. Thus, there is no question of defeat for the Bhakti Yogis if they strictly avoid offenses to devotees. Success is only a matter of time. So the process of Bhakti and Naam Bhajana is the most hopeful truth in creation.
