Always Remembering Your Unconditional Love
Dear Guru Maharaja, Always remembering your unlimited, unconditional love, mercy, and kindness: - may I always be hopeful and not hopeless; - may I always be patient and not demanding or feeling entitled; - may I always be optimistic and not pessimistic; - may I always be enthusiastic and not taking for granted; - may I always be grateful that you accepted me as your disciple even from afar, and not morose that I never was in your physical presence; - may I always be thankful for the little sevas you continue to arrange for me, and not sad that I cannot serve you more and better; - may I always appreciate the rare devotee association I’ve been blessed with, and not be overwhelmed with lamentation over my physical separation and isolation from you and devotees; - may I always remain content to serve you and Vaisnavas wherever and in whatever condition I find myself, without undue consideration of my own happiness, comfort, and material/spiritual advancement. Your most junior servant, Kesava dasa
