He Wants Us to Just Try

Guru Maharaj made everything so easy. Everything was beginning from the heart; it was all about the heart. Within the first two years during almost every darshan that I had of Guru Maharaj, He said the same thing to me: "It's so easy to please Krishna. It is so easy. Why? Because He is the nearest and dearest. Nobody is nearer to us than Krishna." My background made me so complicated but Guru Maharaj made it so easy. With so much love he would say to me: "It's so easy to please Krishna."

So I was thinking even when I feel very close to someone, that is nothing compared to how close the Lord is. Naturally, it's easy. If you try to please the Lord from the heart, he is pleased. It's so easy. He kept telling me this again and again, probably because I have a complicated mind.

Many times I heard Srila Gurumaharaj say, "The panacea for all problems is sharanagati. If we surrender, things will fall into place."  That was the impression I got from Guru Maharaj — for me to try very sincerely to rectify myself and the Lord will come and help me; Sri Guru will come from behind.

Recently I was speaking with a younger Godsister. We were speaking about the times I asked Guru Maharaj questions. I remembered one question I asked Guru Maharaj: "How can I remove hostile mentalities from the heart? Dhruva Maharaj could do so, but I am a conditioned soul, I don't know how to do it."

Guru Maharaj answered: "You just try, you just try." And on another occasion, Srila Guru Maharaj said to me about this: "God is residing in your heart. He is there, He is omniscient. If He wants there will be bhakti. He will help you to awaken your soul."
