CC daily 72 – CCM 5.103-113 – The Lord’s extraordinary mercy causes astonishment and delight

Thank you Vipra came to his own place Moving in this way Vipra came to his own place When he came to a village When he came near the village He started thinking in this way Sakshira agamann So, I have come to my village So, now I will go to my house Sakshira agamann And then I will go and tell the people in general that the witness has come He is thinking about what to do Because it is an extraordinary journey In which he has a travelling companion Who is himself very special The lord has come, his travelling companion has come As a witness And so all the other people are to be assembled there And the witness will give you testimony And more importantly this travelling companion has a condition That I am not to turn around And I have not turned around till now But now I have to inform about the plan So, he starts thinking about it So, he said that if the people do not see The lord directly They will not believe it So, he is thinking that If I go to people and tell them that Oh, the deity has come They will not believe How will they believe it is an extraordinary event If however I ask the deity to stay here There is no fear Because the deity will be safe And people can come out and see also Wherever the deity is So, therefore He turned to the He told the deity Now the lord was able to understand That what was going on in the mind of the brahmana So, essentially the brahmana was thinking about Where to keep the deity Whether to take the deity home But if he takes the deity home and keeps the deity People will not believe the deity has come But if I keep the deity here How can I just keep the deity on the road But then there is no harm Now the deity will not go People can come and see also the deity is there So, you can go to your place now So, the The lord spoke now The object is not mentioned in this verse That it is the lord speaking So, to the brahmana it is spoken To the brahmana it is Go to your house I will stay here But I am not going to go anywhere I will be here only, don't worry At that time The vipra went to the nagara Went to the place and kahila He spoke And the people heard it They spoke And there is a chamatkar What is the chamatkar He is wondering what has happened A great miracle has happened And he is going to share it Now when they heard this astonishing news That the lord has himself come as a deity They came running out To see how has this witness come And when they say When they saw Gopal What did they do They all offered obeisances When They saw the beauty of Gopal At that time The people in general became very happy That The prathima has walked and come all the way When they heard this Normally we go to the temple to see a deity Suddenly we find a deity In the middle of the road we will be amazed When we see the deity is very beautiful That will be even more amazing And further When they heard that the prathima has walked all the way That was even more astonishing So at that point They were astonished by hearing this At that time the elderly Vipra Became very joyful He had prayed to Gopal Please protect my dharma And please also ensure that my loved ones don't die So you see now how the lord has fulfilled both his requests The lord has himself come All the people were delighted to see the deity Now only devotional minded people are delighted to get the darshan of the lord They were very delighted But especially the brahmana Now his dharma is going to be protected He is very delighted to see how the lord has reciprocated So he went in front of Gopal and offered dandavat Everybody offered obeisances And he went right in front of Gopal With all the people assembled over there Gopal gave witness And the elder Vipra thereafter Gave his daughter in marriage To the younger Vipra So at that time the lord spoke to the two Vipras Kahila, the supreme lord spoke To the two Vipras Janme janme amara kinkar You are my servants for life after life You have been my eternal servants Serving me life after life Amara kinkar Now amara kinkar So actually the lord is telling over here That You have participated Eternally in my Past times Now you have come to participate In these past times So Prabhupada quotes Narottam Das Thakur Prajendra Sutapash Shri Gaudamandal Bhumiye Bajane Chintamani Tara Hai Vrajad Bhume Vas So Prabhupada quotes how That the associates of lord Chaitanya Are also Nitya Siddhas And those people who understand and accept this They will go to Prajendra Sutapash They will go to the association of lord Prajendra Nandan And Shri Gaudamandal Bhumiye Bajane Chintamani And those who understand that Gaudamandal Is also the spiritual world Tara Hai Vrajad Bhume Pash And they will attain Prajad Bhumi Tara Hai Vrajad Bhume Vas So now these Brahmanas Are not exactly connected with Chaitanya Mahaprabhu In the sense that they are not Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's associates But the principle is being illustrated over here That Actually the lord Whenever he manifests his pastimes He has very special souls who join in those pastimes And although those special souls may seem ordinary to our ordinary vision They are actually very special and elevated And through their actions in this world they demonstrate They demonstrate for us the glory of devotion And the glory of the lord's reciprocation with devotion Thereby inspiring us to deepen our devotion And attain that world of transcendental love Which is inhabited by The lord and his devotees And which is permeated with loving ecstatic reciprocations Like the one demonstrated here.
