A beautiful offering

The lotus feet of the spiritual master are the abode of pure devotional service. I bow down to those lotus feet with great care and attention. It is through the grace of the spiritual master that we cross over this material existence and obtain Krsna.

In this world, Sri Guru is the only beauty; he is the only asset and only wealth. Nothing else is there.

 Sri-guru-carana-padma, your lotus feet are compared to the lotus.Lotus flower looks very nice and beautiful and lotus has honey in it, sweet honey. The bumblebee collects honey from many flowers but especially collects honey from the lotus flower. The honey collected from other flowers and the honey collected from the lotus flower have some differences. The honey from the lotus flower is special honey. The bumblebee goes and collects honey from the lotus flower. It is known as padma-madhu, special type of honey. Let me be like a bumblebeewho is is very hungry and greedy to have that special honey.

So, wandering hither and thither, at last that bumblebee comes to the lotus flower and experiences the cooling, soothing effect and gets relief from pain and suffering. So he takes shelter in the lap of the lotus flower; inside the lotus flower. And the lotus also gives him shelter and thereby he gets such cooling effect. The lotus allows him to suck this nice, sweet honey. The bumblebee sucks nice sweet honey from the lotus and gets nourishment.Similarly, youallowed such a hopeless, wandering soul like me to take shelter at your lotus feet. Your lotus feet honey gives vitality to a hopeless soul like me. Your lotus feet, my home let it be my life and soul.  From this home I have received all things. Everything good around me is a manifestation of this mercy. My vitality , my existence everything is manifestation of your mercy. For such a wonderful spiritual master let me have a strong desire to follow his instruction very carefully and deeply.Let no other desire come in my heart.
