Okay? If a person leaves bhakti, then we try to bring him back, but he doesn’t come. So, we don’t know whether he is happy or not.
But he is not in bhakti, so we become sad. So, what should we do? So, in reality, what do we do? Sometimes, who is in bhakti and who is not in bhakti, we see this in a very external form. He is not coming to the temple, he is not doing this, so he is not in bhakti.
The thing is that bhakti is an inner consciousness and the effect of bhakti remains. Even if it is not visible from the outside. So, different people take their spiritual journey at different levels.
And how fast and how far someone will go, depends on that person. So, in reality, between that person and God. When Prabhupada ji went to America to preach, what was his feeling? Tumhara ichchaye sabah hoye maya ravash.
Tumhara ichchaye hoye maya ravash. He said, Lord, take them out of your will, I mean, out of your plan, in reality. Without your plan, no one could enter So, if it is your wish, then take them out of the Maya.
And, Prabhupada ji, if it is your wish, then you can come out That is why, he says, alankrita koribara khamata. Our promise is alankrita koribara khamata Tumhara. He says, you make my promise in such a way that they come out of the Maya and come to your ashram.
So, Prabhupada ji has accepted that in reality, bringing that person back into bhakti is not our power. It is the will of God. If God gives us the ability, then it is possible.
So, that is why what we have to see is that those who are doing bhakti, we do bhakti and keep the door open for others. But it is not like that we have to pull them to the door and bring them. And if they are not coming, then we close the door on their face.
We don’t do both. We keep the door open for them. If they can come, then they can come.
And what is happening in the lives of many people, what situation they are going through, what kind of problems they are facing, they don’t know. And we have to understand that their coming into bhakti is not dependent on me. It is dependent on them and on God.
So, that is why we can pray for them. And if they are doing bhakti in the same way, in reality, if they see if we are related to them and if they see that we are in our bhakti, we are happy with that, we are content with that, then they will gradually become attracted to us. But if they see then they will you are doing bhakti, you are so busy, why should I be in bhakti? So, that is why we have to do our bhakti and pray to God.
And the third thing is that we have to understand that we can help the unable, we can’t help the unbeliever. Those who are not able to do bhakti, we can give them facilities. A person says that I don’t have time, I have to do this work.
Ok, I will help you, you come to We can help them. But those who don’t have desire, we can only pray For example, if there is a car, the car is not moving, then what happens is that other people come and say that I will push the car and people are pushing from outside and the car is trying to start from inside, then the car starts. But suppose that person is sitting inside and people are pushing from outside and he is sleeping inside.
Then other people say why should we push? Or people are pushing from inside. Then people say why should we push? Similarly, if a person’s car is not moving, then we can push from outside. We can say that there is a car, there is there is there is a car, there is there is there is a car, there is a car, there is a car, there is a car, there is the car is moving.
