La sabiduría sólo entra en una mente purificada - Swami.
Hace mucho tiempo había una familia muy piadosa en las orillas del río Krishna. Tenía grandes latifundios. Los padres tuvieron un único hijo que era muy versado en las Escrituras y que era obediente y de buen comportamiento.
Pero cuando el padre murió y las propiedades cayeron en las manos del hijo, se convirtió en un libertino, con un grupo de hombres malos siempre a su alrededor.
Dios no es un déspota de corazón de piedra. Él es la compasión. Él es la gracia, personificada. Una vez que hayas limpiado las lágrimas por ti mismo, se acerca y te otorga consuelo y valor. Sin un corazón limpio, la realización es imposible. La sabiduría sólo puede entrar en una mente purificada. El Sadhana - lento y constante - puede tener éxito en la purificación de la mente. La victoria es tuya si tomas el modelo de Arjuna, y su anhelo.

Wisdom only enters a Purified Mind - Swami.
Long ago there was a very pious family on the banks of the Krishna river. It had vast landed estates. The parents had an only son who was well-versed in scriptures and who was obedient and well behaved. But when the father died and the properties fell into his hand the son became a profligate and a libertine, with a gang of evil men always around him. He developed intimacy with a public woman and was so infatuated with her wiles that he swam across a flooded river, holding on to the corpse of his own wife who had earlier committed suicide in despair. He mistook the corpse for a log of wood floating down the stream.
Suddenly he became aware of his plight; he blamed his eyes for leading him astray into sin; he blinded himself as a punishment and roamed about the holy land associated with the advent of the Lord as Krishna, singing His name. That blind singer was Suurdas. With the name on the lip and the picture of the glory on the mind, on evil can attract you. Repentance purifies, contrition cleanses. Krishna appeared before blind Suurdas and offered to restore his sight. But, Suurdas pleaded for inner vision and discarded the outward-bound eyesight.
God is no stony-hearted despot. He is compassion. He is grace, personified. Once you have cleansed yourself by tears, he draws you near and grants you consolation and courage. Without a cleansed heart, realisation is impossible. Wisdom can enter only a purified mind. Saadhana - slow and steady - can succeed in purifying it. Victory is yours if you model yourselves on Arjuna, and his yearning.

Él entablo relación con una mujer pública y estaba tan enamorado de sus artimañas que cruzó a nado un río crecido, apoyándose en el cadáver de su esposa que había cometido suicidio ante la desesperación. Confundiendo el cadáver con un tronco de madera flotando en el arroyo.
De repente se dio cuenta de su situación, él culpó a sus ojos porque lo llevaron por mal camino hacia el pecado, y él mismo se cegó como castigo, y anduvo por la tierra santa del Señor Krishna, cantando su nombre. Ese cantante ciego fue Suurdas.

Con el nombre en sus labios y la imagen en su mente, se mantenía lejos del mal. El arrepentimiento purifica, limpia.
Krishna apareció ante Suurdas ciego y le ofreció recobrar la vista. Pero, Suurdas pidió por la visión interior y desecho la visión exterior.
