The Seed Of Devotion Penetrates the Cover Of the Universe, And Goes to Krsna In the Spiritual World

[Gavin Swinden]

(It grows, penetrating through the cover of the universe, reaches the spiritual world)

 

"It has been described in the Caitanya-caritāmṛta that at the present moment we have to become the gardener and water the bhakti-latā (seed of devotion) creeper.

 

Then it grows. It grows, penetrating through the cover of the universe, reaches the spiritual world. Then it grows still more, and when the creeper catches some shelter, some other big tree . . .

 

similarly, this bhakti-latā creeper goes up and up, and when it catches the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, then it is satisfied, and the bhakta who nourished this bhakti-latā-bīja, when he goes back to home, back to Godhead, he relishes the

 

fruit grown in that bhakti-latā-bīja."
