Steps To Cultivate Receptivity to Good Instructions | HG Vaiśeṣika Dāsa | ISV | 8 Jan 2022

Sound Bhakti

Kṛṣṇa Himself, by His spiritual potency, establishes our connection with Him, and that connection is the source of all spiritual knowledge. So Kṛṣṇa is availing Himself to us, and He's always availing Himself to us. As soon as we show a little inclination toward Him, then He begins to take proactive steps to move us closer. "Teṣāṁ satata-yuktānāṁ bhajatāṁ prīti-pūrvakam dadāmi buddhi-yogaṁ taṁ yena mām upayānti te," Kṛṣṇa says that if somebody sincerely turns their attention towards Him, then He will give them the intelligence, the knowledge of how they can come to Him. We can keep that in mind. And in the context of this section of the Bhāgavatam, we can keep that in mind even despite our sometimes seeming unwillingness to do it. We may find that there's 99% unwillingness and 1% sincerity towards coming in contact with Kṛṣṇa. So that'll still work, as long as we keep coming back to that 1%, then Kṛṣṇa will make arrangements for us to come to 5%, 10%, 90%, 100% by His informing us from within the heart. Okay, I'm going to continue a few more, and you're going to be astounded. So stay tuned in, because this is just a warm-up. So far, the parts coming up here will make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. You may never be the same after you hear these next few verses.
