Srila Raghunatha dasa Gosvami prays, ‘I was here in Vrndavana, at Radha-kunda, with so great a hope. But, O Srimati Radhika, if You are not merciful to me, then I have no connection with Krsna. I do not need to live at Govardhana or Radha-kunda; I have no connection with them. O Krsna, please take me to Srimati Radhika. Without Radhika I cannot live.’ These prayers are the glory of Srila Raghunatha dasa Gosvami. If a greed comes to take them into our heart, we will have no attraction to this world, to wife, husband, children, wealth or reputation; nothing will be there. I want to take you all to that realm. Do not be householders in the worldly sense. If you have lust or any attraction for this world, you cannot take what I want to give; you will be deprived of it. I want to give you this greed. If you are a householder, remain so, but do not be attached. Do not think, ‘My Gurudeva is very merciful. He has given me in marriage to a very good devotee.’ This is not really his mercy. We must be like Narada Rsi. How cunningly he cuts all material attachments by his words, which are like swords. The guru has not come to give rupees, wealth, or worldly things. Some people think, ‘I have given so much. I am doing so much.’ But do you know what Srila Rupa Gosvami has given to this world? Has he given any money, a house, a lady, or a boy? He has not come to give this. He has come to give the elevated love of conjugal Radhika and Krsna.” Srila Gurudeva - New Braj, 4 June 1999
