Guru’s mercy purifies us

“The dirty wax of egotism accumulated in the heart prevents us from clearly hearing the Lord’s voice within. A guru, with the stick of knowledge, cleans our hearts. Its really ugly to see what may come out, but by following patiently, we keep cleaning.”

– Radhanath Swami in The Journey Home book

  1. Very true! It is only by Guru’s mercy that we can purify our hearts and consciousness.

  2. As we have accumulated the negativity from innumerable births, we are not able to concentrate on God.With the guidence of Guru it is possible.thank you maharaj

  3. Hare Krishna Thank You Maharaj for helping us and by making understanding us by a perfect statement.

  4. HH Radhanath swami maharaj very nicely emphasized the importance of Guru in spiritual life, with out accepting The dust of Lotus feet of spiritual master is very difficult and not possible to elevate or progress in Spiritual life.

    All glories to HH Radhanath swami maharaj

  7. THis is such profound principle not so commonly known, but presented through such a lucid incident. Thank you Maharaj..

  9. We should keep clean our heart and existence by continuous hearing of the Holy name of the Lord. Thank you Radhanath Swami for reminding us of this.

  10. Journey Home book is a “must read”. Every page is filled with such wonderful “nectar”. Thank you.

  12. Spiritual path is very very intricate; its not something whimsical and what comes deep from our hearts is unbelivably nasty – we are not competent to remove it. Only with help of a expert Spiritual master like Radhanath Swami our hearts can be purified to return back to the Kingdom of God

  18. oh..this is why we are not able to here what lord’s is saying from withing.

  20. Maharaj is such an expert in giving Krishna Conscious explanations and very important purports to each and every situation in life. this statement, comes in the section wherein Maharaj was walking down the road in Delhi in 1971 and a person suddenly comes and takes out the wax from Maharaj’s ears and then demands some money for it. apparently seeing the situation externally seems very disturbing. but maharaj is such a person that he could bring out such a deep, profound philosophical truth of how hearing to our Spiritual master to be done… Thank you gurudev… Hare Krishna
