How to Make Our Lives Unlimitedly Sublime
The secret of how to constantly deep sea in the nectarean ocean of chanting Krishna's holy name is given by Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu in verse 3 of His Śikṣāṣṭaka prayers:
tṛṇād api sunīcena
taror api sahiṣṇunā
amāninā mānadena
kīrtanīyaḥ sadā hariḥ
"One can chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble state of mind, thinking himself lower than the straw in the street. One should be more tolerant than the tree, devoid of all sense of false prestige and ready to offer all respects to others. In such a state of mind one can chant the holy name of the Lord constantly."
If we take His most potent advice seriously, our lives will be unlimitedly sublime.
