Jayapataka Swami: So one of the mano bhavas or one of the mentalities to serve Krsna we heard today, is to avoid offenses. If we are serving the Lord offenselessly, we can also serve the Lord very enthusiastically. We also heard that in the prayers of Haridasa Thakura, that he was saying that he wanted to ask for a special benediction. And Lord Caitanya said, anything you want, you can have ANYTHING! What would you ask for? What did Haridasa Thakura ask for? Ha! Ha! He said I know I am unqualified; I am being very proud to ask for such a great benediction! I want the remnants of your pure vaisnavas’ prasadam! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! So much faith he had in the vaisnavas! From the Caitanya Caritamrita we hear that, the dust from the devotee’s lotus feet, the water that washes the devotee’s lotus feet and the remnants of their prasadam, are very powerful to give bhakti yoga. If you can somehow get this that may help you to get the pure love, fixed mentality, enthusiastic mentality.
