Shri Krishn is the soul of your soul (your most precious wealth). Devote everything you have (body, mind and material wealth) to Him.

O Nandnandan, please think of me as Your own. I have nowhere else to go.

O mind, sing the glories of your soul beloved Krishn, He is the life breath of Gops (cowherd boys), Gopis and all the cows of Braj.

Sushree Diwakari Devi Ji begins by reflecting on how people celebrate the new year. While many focus on fun and personal resolutions like losing weight or saving money, Didi Ji questions if we've truly considered the passage of time. Every year that passes means less time for spiritual growth. She emphasizes that life is a limited opportunity to practice devotion and strive for spiritual progress.

Reflecting on spiritual life is crucial; people often focus on material advancement, neglecting their spiritual wealth. Time should be used to cultivate devotion to God, a wealth that remains intact beyond this life. Sushree Diwakari Devi Ji urges introspection to assess virtues like humility, tolerance, and devotion, and to acknowledge the importance of using this human life for spiritual purposes.

Didi Ji compares the attachment to the world with the attachment to God, stating that true spirituality lies in cultivating love for God, or "bhakti." The importance of reflecting on our virtues and vices is stressed to ensure we live a life that progresses spiritually. She reminds that human life offers the opportunity to elevate ourselves, and celebrating the new year should be about spiritual advancement and growth in devotion to God.

Lastly, Sushree Diwakari Devi Ji encourages attending satsang more frequently and prioritizing spiritual fulfillment over fleeting worldly joys. This is the true path to lasting inner peace and joy.

Memorable Quotes from the Discourse:

* "We need to reflect on where we stand in our spiritual life."

* "We are the soul, not this outer physical body, this shell."

* "We should refuse to celebrate the new year frivolously."

* "We need to think, we need to understand, God has given us intelligence."

* "This human life is our only opportunity to elevate ourselves through spiritual practice."

* "We always look for that experience in the wrong place. If we could only try seeking it in the right place, we would experience so much inner peace and contentment and joy and satisfaction."

* "God has given us this vehicle, this human body, so that we can practice devotion and ultimately find solace in God's love."

* "We need to think about tolerance."

* "We have spent majority of our time towards material advancement and have earned nothing spiritually."

* "We need to analyze where we have gone wrong and how we can improve."

* "Spiritual wealth never gets demonetized."

* "Attachment to God essentially is the core of spirituality."

* "We don't need to learn... we already love. We are creatures of love."

* "So when we cultivate that (love) toward God, then that is known as bhakti, devotion."

These quotes remind us of the eternal search for Divine fulfillment, urging us to deepen our faith and longing, so that we may one day experience the boundless grace of God.

Oh mind! Remember Shri Radha and the delighter of Radha (Shri Krishna)

Both are the life of the gopis, Shri Radha and the delighter of Shri Radha (Shri Krishna)

These three are the wealth of my life, Gopi, Radha and Krishna

Oh mind! Become unselfish and constantly chant their glories

Oh mind! Surrender to the guru with Gopi Bhav

Oh mind! Never even for a second have love or hatred in the world

Oh mind! Your true friends are both Shri Radha and the delighter of Shri Radha (Shri Krishna)

Oh mind! Your true parents are Shri Radha and the delighter of Shri Radha (Shri Krishna)

Oh mind! Your everything is Shri Radha and the delighter of Shri Radha (Shri Krishna)

Oh mind! Keep only MADHUR BHAV (lover-beloved) in the delighter of Shri Radha (Shri Krishna)

Oh mind! Maintaining exclusiveness, chant the glories of the delighter of Shri Radha (Shri Krishna)

Oh mind! Consider both material pleasures and moksha to be like demons

Oh mind! Both are KRIPALU, Shri Radha and the delighter of Shri Radha (Shri Krishna)

There is one mind. It is the doer of every action. It continuously creates desires day and night because the soul seeks real happiness, the bliss of God. The mind keeps making desires through the five senses to fulfill that innate longing for ultimate bliss (the desire to see, hear, smell, taste, and touch).

There are only two areas - God and maya. Thus, the mind will create desires in only one of these two areas. If the intellect decides that there is no happiness in the world and that happiness is only in God, then it will naturally desire God without being taught.

But presently:

* Our intellect has decided that there is happiness in the world. Whatever decision the intellect has made, the mind has to work on it and has to create that desire.

* The world is visible to us, and God is beyond our intellect. He is not visible to us. The mind gets attracted to that which can be perceived.

* Our senses are naturally inclined towards the world as they are made of the five gross elements, and the material world is also made of the same five gross elements. Hence, they are of the same nature.

So, no matter what the Vedas, scriptures, Puranas, and Saints say (about God), the senses cannot grasp them. However, the world can be grasped by these senses. That's why this mind easily creates desires for the world.

Our desire for the true bliss of God will arise when we give up worldly desires. And we can let go of worldly desires only when it becomes firmly established in the intellect that there is no happiness in the world.

To make this conviction of the intellect firm:

* We must guide our intellect according to the knowledge of the Vedas and the scriptures. We must repeatedly contemplate philosophical knowledge. God created this world for the body. Both the body and the world are made of the five gross elements. The soul is Divine. The soul's happiness lies not in the world but only in God. Even Indra, the king of heaven, desires the position of Brahma because he remains restless, not having attained the true bliss of the soul.

* We must also understand through our practical experience that our miserable condition persists despite attaining worldly pleasures thousands of times. Every time we acquire something in the world, we initially experience momentary happiness. Then, it keeps diminishing until it vanishes entirely, and after that, that very thing begins to cause sorrow. When we face problems in the world, we make desires for God. But when worldly people deceive us again by promising happiness, we move towards the world again. Everyone in this world is selfish. We should always understand that until we attain God, no one can desire another's happiness.

Friendship or enmity also becomes firm by repeatedly thinking about it. Similarly, we must repeatedly believe that only God and Guru are ours. Our welfare lies only in Them. By such repeated contemplation of philosophical knowledge, we have to remove this conviction that "there is happiness in the world." When we realize that our self-interest is in God and Guru, natural attachment will happen without anyone teaching us.

“Therefore, O mind! Remove the worldly desires from your mind and attach yourself to God and Guru.” When brought into the mind, these two pure entities will purify it. The entire world is filled with the three modes of nature and sins. Attachment to it will only pollute the mind further.

If the mind does not get attached to God and Guru immediately, practice repeatedly. Understand the philosophical knowledge and repeatedly remove the mind from the world and attach it to God. By doing this over and over again, the mind will start getting attached to Them. Through repeated practice, the mind gets attached even to inert worldly objects. On the other hand, God is an ocean of bliss. By repeatedly attaching the mind to Him, we will begin experiencing bliss, and then we will never be able to leave Him.

“Bhānudulārī is drenched through and through in the bliss of Divine love.

The sight of Her resplendent jeweled throne puts ADORNMENT personified to shame.

There is a beautiful crescent-shaped chandrikā on top of Her bejeweled crown of gold.

Her eyes are bashful and naturally black at the rims (because of thick, curly eyelashes) putting to shame fully-bloomed lotuses.

The besar and nose-ring in Her nose are swaying and the string of pearls from Her nose-ring to Her ear is enchanting.

Flower-shaped earrings are hanging from Her ears, and She wears necklaces of jewels and pearls.

Her chunari is blue and so are Her blouse and lehaṁgā (long skirt).

Her hands are decorated with designs in red mehaṁdī, and ornamented with bangles and jeweled gold bracelets.

Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj says, "I am most attracted to Her lotus feet which are reddened with mihavara and decorated with beautiful anklets and exquisite toe-rings.”

In this discourse Sushree Diwakari Devi Ji explains that grace is selfless, causeless, and beyond human comprehension, contrasting it with worldly acts of kindness that often have hidden motives. She emphasizes that true grace comes only from God or Saints, who serve selflessly without expecting anything in return.

The lecture highlights the rare and precious nature of the human birth, which is considered the highest form of existence among the 8.4 million species. The human life offers an opportunity for spiritual progress, unlike animals that live by instinct and cannot perform spiritual actions. Didi Ji urges individuals to recognize the unique blessing of a human body and avoid wasting it on material pursuits.

Sushree Diwakari Devi Ji compares the human journey to a drop of water seeking its return to the ocean, symbolizing the soul's longing for reunion with the Divine. Ultimately, Didi Ji encourages the devotees to act immediately in their spiritual pursuits, as human life is fleeting and unpredictable. The discourse is a call to seize the opportunity for spiritual growth, guided by a Divine personality, before it is too late.

Memorable Quotes from the Discourse:

* On Grace:

* “Grace means favor without expecting anything in return.”

* “Truly speaking, grace is causeless and it is selfless. And this is something that is impossible to comprehend in the world because anything that we do has a motive behind.”

* “So only those who have attained that perfect happiness, that unlimited happiness, that immeasurable happiness can serve selflessly and causelessly. Thus, only saints and God can serve the souls selflessly and causelessly.”

* On Human Birth:

* “So this human body that we have is the highest and the greatest and the rarest among the 8.4 million species of living beings.”

* “So he tells us after millions and millions of births, we have received this precious life. And instead of chasing material trinkets, leading this life in pursuit of material pleasures, strive instead to attain the highest and the greatest and the ultimate Divine experience.”

* On the Guru:

* “So through the help through the guidance of a Guru a true spiritual guide we can navigate the waters of existence and make our way back to the embrace of our Divine beloved.”

* On Material vs. Spiritual Progress:

* “So in essence, granting material possessions is not grace. Granting Divine love to elevate and to uplift is grace.”

* On Time and the Urgency of Spiritual Practice:

* “Shree Maharajji forges us forward on the path of devotion, reminding us repeatedly that time is running out, time is short. Yes. And that we should give up our negligence. We should grow up. We should get our act together. Because time is short.”

* “So the opportunity to meet a God realized personality is a blessing beyond measure. And we should not, we must not let it go to waste.”

* On Karma and Human Life:

* “Simply put, these souls, these animals, are receiving and enduring their karma that they earned from those actions that they performed as human beings.”

* “In contrast, the human life offers the opportunity to perform new actions and earn spiritual merit and this is what the celestial gods desire. They desire the privilege we have; they desire to engage in sadhana so they can also reach and attain their goal of Divine love realization.”

* On the Ocean and the Drop (Spiritual Return):

* “Oh, ocean, my refuge! My refuge, I am ashamed of my past transgressions. Separated from You, I have known no peace whatsoever, shedding tears of anguish day and night.”

* “I have awaited Your return since the moment You first danced with the wind. And it was I who sent the river to bring You back to me. Now come into my embrace, for You and I are one.”

These quotes encapsulate the essential themes of the lecture: the importance of Divine grace, the preciousness of human life, the role of a Guru in spiritual progress, and the urgency of engaging in spiritual practice to realize our ultimate connection with the Divine.

“O, my mind! This precious time is running out. (Devote it for Radha Krishna.)

Even Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiv (of this brahmand) are captivated by the 'time' (kal), then where do you stand?

Having received this priceless human body, why are you wasting it on trifling worldly entertainments?

Like a deaf and blind person, you don't heed to the teachings and the warnings of Saints and remain infatuated in material happiness.

"Sometime soon I will start devotion," saying so (you prolong your time but you never do it. If you don't do it) your life will finish and you will be the most sorrowful person.

You see in the world, that peoples' lives and fortunes are finished in a moment. Their whole world of excitements finishes in a flash. Then what guarantee do you have for your own life, and you are thus acting in foolish overconfidence?

The loving and lively Radhey is the Queen of my soul. Sing Radhey Radhey all the time. Remember Radhey Radhey all the time.

Krishna comes to listen to the name of His Swamini Radhey Rani. O souls of the world, understanding the importance of the name of Radha Rani, sing Radhey Radhey all the time.

Whoever sings Radhey name with love and affinity attains Divine love. Whoever loves Radharani gains entrance to Maharās. So always sing the name of Radha.

Gopis left worldly ties and attachments and became engrossed in Krishna love. All those lucky gopis received the intimate love of Krishna (with the grace of Radha Rani). So, remember and sing Radhey Radhey.

The sweetness of the loving leelas of Radha is known and tasted by only certain Rasik Saints, and those who have relinquished all of their worldly attachments for the experience of Radha's love. So, remember and sing Radhey Radhey.

God Shiv, assuming the form of a gopi, entered maharās, near Vanshivat with the grace of Radha Rani and enjoyed the supreme bliss. So always sing and remember Radhey Radhey.

Without Radha, Krishna would have been without any loving virtues, and there would have been no Divine-love conciousness on the earth planet.

Radha is great and Radha name is great. So always remember and sing Radhey Radhey.

Radha is the Bliss of the nectar of Divine love, and Krishna is incomplete without Radha. So always remember and sing Radhey Radhey.

The blissfulness of the loving leelas of Radha Krishn are beyond the comprehension of gyanis. But the simple hearted gopis of Braj know that and experience the bliss of the leelas with the Grace of Radha Rani. So, always remember and sing Radhey Radhey.

Those who do not chant and remember the name of Radha are wasting their precious human life. Life without Radha's love is only a reprimand. So always remember and sing Radhey Radhey.

Radha is the refuge of destitutes. So always remember and sing Radhey Radhey. Radhey is the uplifter of the fallen souls. So always remember and sing Radhey Radhey.

Radha is the most compassionate guardian of all the humble souls. So always remember and sing Radhey Radhey. Radha is the loving friend of all the souls. So, always remember and sing Radhey Radhey.

Radha is the protector of all Her devotees. So, always remember and sing Radhey Radhey. Radha is the savior of all the fallen souls who are drowning in the cosmic ocean and who seek for Her help. So always remember and sing Radhey Radhey.

My Radhey is very simple and innocent. Remember Her, love Her, adore Her and always sing Her name. Receive the real boon of human life by singing Radhey Radhey.”
