This Nabadwip Dham, on the banks of the Ganges, has such great value, especially for the realisation of our highest self, as recommended by Sriman Mahaprabhu. It is the land of love, sweetness, charm, and beauty. All these words are synonymous. It is heart-capturing. Our real existence is neither in our knowledge nor our power. It is in our heart. Really, our proper identification is with our heart. So, the direction in which our heart is moving is the all-important factor in our life. It is a heart-transaction.
Mahaprabhu recommended: «Don’t rely on your knowledge, reasoning capacity, or power. The heart-transaction is all-important for you. The inner factor of your existence is in your heart. So try to guide your heart towards sweetness — towards home. And your real home is not here where you are wandering around with no certainty throughout eight million four hundred thousand species according to your karma. And only in the human birth, with the help of the divine agent, can you go back to your home: to home and affection.»
Home is where the environment will take care of us. Home is our fortune, and our comfort, independent of even our considerations. The paraphernalia there will help us very affectionately and lovingly. So we should make good use of this opportunity to go back to God, back to home, our sweet, sweet home.
Mahaprabhu recommended the path: «With the help of the divine agent and the revealed scriptures, try to go there yourself. Your present position is uncertain. After death it is not fixed where you will be carried by the current of your previous karma. Therefore try to utilise for the best whatever time is available before your death. You have free will. Therefore the days before your death are to some degree in your hand to use. So you must utilise that time with the utmost care for God-realisation.» There is nothing so important as this for all of us.
The advice in common for us all is: «Give up all your duties and jump into the one duty — to go back home. There, everything is full and complete, and everyone will look after your real interest. So you must go there: back to God, back to home.»
