Holy Name, then no fear!

Verse 1.11.3 (Sundari Mji):

* Life is so unpredictable, without taking the shelter of the Lord, there is no escape.
* The citizens of Dvaraka were so very much in melancholy
* Unless there is a problem, there is no serious surrender to the Lord. Eg: Chitraketu, he had everything but did not have a son. Ultimately he had a son, then no mood to listen to Narada muni about the goal of life. When son dies, then only he listens. Again, curse by Parvati, then again in this troubled situation, he surrenders more.
* Krishna, like this, sometimes takes away everything, just to help us surrender to the Lord.
* Fear problem always exists and it exists due to ignorance only. But once we know the ultimate goal of life, then this fear is not there.
* In this life, two things for sure
- one who takes birth, will surely die
- investment done in bhakti will always remain
* How to execute this bhakti
- lot of enthusiasam
- patience and gratitude
* Our heart must be fertile, unless it is fertile, the seed of bhakti sowed by Guru will not grow. So cultivate it with lot of humility.
* Chanting is like putting the water, but the soil needs to be fertile by humility.
* Krishna sees how sincerely we are performing all this.
* Holy name is the greatest savior from the biggest fears of this world. Holy name is everything. Eg: Gajendra moksha too, he remembered the holy name as an animal too.
