Re: acceptance and equal vision

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna!

Dear Swamiji and devotees please accept my humble obeisances.

Brahmavadis see a blend of brahman, paramatma, and bhagavan in everything. Mayavadis see brahman in everything. Paranoids see an intimidation in everything. Devotees see the Lord dancing in everything. They all have in common: they see something in everything. When our primary understanding is strongly influenced it super-imposes all that we perceive. However the Absolute Truth is no projection. It is the core of everything. In our conditioned state we can�t see that core. So how do we know about it?  From authority. When the Absolute Truth descends down from the Lord via His pure devotee to His aspiring devotee something very extra-ordinary happens: He plants a very special seed in the heart of the devotee. That seed fructifies by devotional service and by no means through theoretical application. So there is a subtle but very significant difference between the so-called super-imposition of the devotee and that of the non-devotee. The devotee is anointed to see a spiritual reality not overlaying his perspective but manifested via the core of his being. He doesn�t need any theory in order to self-manipulate himself into a spiritual vision, he has a spiritual vision.

When we watch Nava�s latest beautiful video we clearly see that he got a genuine glimpse of spiritual vision that overrules any theoretical or speculative approach. He is in awe because of his anointed vision that was given to him by the most merciful Lord. Swamiji extends this unlimited mercy and empowers and encourages Nava to speak from the heart. The result is a unique experienced understanding that stands out from the regular copy/paste understanding. When Nava says that �in a higher sense there is no need to feel sad or poor about our station� he fully speaks from the heart and his understanding is anointed with divine vision. I personally think that before we react to such a statement we should see where it comes from. When a devotee genuinely tells me �I am very happy� do I point out: �sorry but you are not happy� and then I try to convince him of this? What will the result be other then that we come into a myriad of arguments that is mostly a mix of different layers of understanding? By the way nothing personal�just for the benefit of all. I would like to illustrate this a bit further with the following�

I have hold this back for a few months since I wanted to know the permanent character of something very special I have experienced myself. It is fully beyond rational understanding, no science can compete with this and only the Lord is to be credited for this miracle. Here it is: A friend of my wife had throat-cancer. She came to visit us and you could see a big lump on the side of her throat and she was very worried. She was scheduled to get it surgically removed the next day and she also would undergo tests if anything had been spread out to other parts of her body. Erica is 36 years old and was of course very nervous about it. I don�t know why but it was almost as if I witnessed myself when I asked her if it was ok to lay my hands on her throat. She was fine with it. I stood behind her and laid my hands tenderly on her throat and lump and started silently chanting �Nityananda Gauranga�. After about 5 minutes I felt my hands vibrating �Nityananda Gauranga� and I saw her taking a deep breath and she became very relaxed. The whole thing lasted maybe 10 minutes and I told her afterwards that the vibration of two extremely holy Names had descended in her throat. Naturally she wanted to know the holy Names so I told her �Nityananda� and �Gauranga� and by the time she left she was singing �Nityananda Gauranga Nityananda Gauranga Nityananda Gauranga�. The next morning she called: �The lump is gone!� She went to the hospital as scheduled and pictures were taken and other tests were done and there was no trace of the cancer anymore. We are now a few months later and yesterday she got the results in from tests taken a week ago�and it is officially declared that she is cancer free.

Scientists and doctors are totally in the blank when it comes to explaining what happened with Erica. Their theory says that something like this cannot happen overnight. Even though they have seen it with their own eyes, they still don�t believe it. From my point of view it happened all so spontaneously. I just had to lay my hands on her throat that night and chanted �Nityananda Gauranga�. I could feel that the Lord�s vibration entered into my hands and transferred into her throat. I saw her becoming calm at that very moment and that was all on my side. And of course the happiness that I got her to chant the holy names of the Lord. This whole experience confirms Nava�s experience. When we are somehow or other able to see our Lordships in others that very vision is not only making us happy but it has a profound effect on others too. Coming back to the beginning: is it from the outside-in super-imposed perception or is it from the inside-out core perception? To me it is core perception because how could I otherwise witness such an incredible miracle? However in this stage of understanding does it even matter what perception it is? Do not the results speak for themselves?

Your servant,

Hadai Nityananda dasa

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna!
