The final advice by Krishna in Bhagavad Gita is in verse 18.66 :-
sarva-dharmān parityajya
mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja
ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo
mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ
Abandon all varieties of religion and
just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver
you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear.
So we can understand that our journey in
Bhakti begins by
Accepting that advice by Krishna & try to
surrender to Krishna.
But we can not surrender to Krishna
cent percent because of our
Long association with material modes of
nature & our unfulfilled desires.
For this we need to take shelter of bonafide
Guru who guides us in this surrendering process.
Hari Bhakti vilas describes six points
of surrender as below : -
Anukulyen Sankalp -accept what is favourble for Bhakti
2) Pratikulasya varjanam -reject what is
unfavourable to Bhakti
3) firm faith that Krishna is my protector
4) firm faith that Krishna is my maintainer
5) submission of self
6) Humility
But it is not that easy for us fallen soul to
follow this surrendering process on our own.
We need help of Guru & his mercy by which we can
Can take baby steps in this journey
as BhaktiVinod Thankur sang :
Ami to kangal
Krishna Krishna Bolo
Dhai tava pache pache
So we just have to take hold
of dhoti of Our Guru Maharaj &
rest assured he will take us
back home back to Godhead.
