Re: Lord Nityaananda and His Name are non-different and all powerful


Dandavats Maharaj�s and vaisnavas.
Dear Mihir from these few verses from Bhagavad Gita we can understand so many wonderful things.
First let me tell you I am not an advanced soul as you put it. Yes I had the good fortune to be in Srila Prabhupadas movement and have his association, but did not take full advantage of it.
Regarding to being elderly to you that is right, but however its by our good fortune that we take up nitai gauranga consciousness as Lord Krsna say�s in Bhagavad gita
43)    O son of Kuru, within one of the births I have just described to you, that unsuccessful yogi revives, from the practices of his previous life, his intelligence centered in the worship of the Supersoul. Thereafter, with renewed vigor, he again endeavors for the perfection of seeing Him.
44)    Although undesirous due to some obstacle, he again becomes attracted to yoga, by dint of the practice he applied in his last life.  And though he may be a practitioner still striving for perfection, he surpasses the path of fruitive action mentioned in the Vedas, and achieves a far superior fruit.

So we can see its not about seniority of course some respect is due, but in my case no respect is required.
Its by good fortune (sukrti).
Why do we see people practicing 30 or 40 years and not advancing, but a person may start their practice and make more progress than us; so we should not be envious of them, but help them all we can.
Dear readers it very important to read Bhagavad Gita

36)    In My consideration, no doubt the yoga described by Me for controlling the mental faculty is difficult for the person of unrestrained mind. But one who zealously subjugates the mind by the authentic practice is definitely successful in yoga.
37)    Arjuna said: O Krsna, a mediocre person may, due to his faith in scripture, engage in yoga practice. However, lacking proper practice and abnegation, he subsequently deviates due to mundane propensities. It seems that he will surely be unsuccessful in yoga. What, then, is his destination?
38)    O mighty hero, O Krsna, having deviated from the yoga path of attaining the Absolute, shelterless and fallen from the paths of both action and meditation, is not such a person utterly lost like a fragmented cloud?
39)    O Krsna! No one but You can dispel this doubt of mine. Please mercifully slash it at the root.
40)    The Supreme Lord said: O Arjuna, son of Kunti, the unsuccessful yogi does not suffer ruination either in this life or the next. He is not deprived of the pleasures of the heavenly planetary systems in this universe, nor is he denied the chance to personally see the Supersoul in the divine realm. This is so, O dear one, because a person who perform virtuous actions never becomes illfated.
41)    After residing for many years in all those heavenly planets that are attainable by the performers of great sacrifices such as the Asvamedha, the unsuccessful yogi takes the supreme goal.
42)    On the other hand, if a person falls from his attempt in yoga after a considerably long period of practice, then certainly he takes birth in the home or lineage of teachers of yoga who are absorbed in yoga practice. Know that birth in such a location is very rarely atteined.
43)    O son of Kuru, within one of the births I have just described to you, that unsuccessful yogi revives, from the practices of his previous life, his intelligence centered in the worship of the Supersoul. Thereafter, with renewed vigor, he again endeavors for the perfection of seeing Him.
44)    Although undesirous due to some obstacle, he again becomes attracted to yoga, by dint of the practice he applied in his last life.  And though he may be a practitioner still striving for perfection, he surpasses the path of fruitive action mentioned in the Vedas, and achieves a far superior fruit.
45)    With more arduous endeavor than previously, the yogi who fully purifies his consciousness by rejecting the filth of all worldly desires and mental images, finally achieves the fruit of many lifetimes of yoga practice. Thereafter, he reaches the supreme goal.
