Passage 19

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

Whenever you look, Swami's Prema is with you. Wherever you are, I will give you that Prema. But from now on, here (whether in Swami's room or anywhere else), it will not be possible for Swami to be present Himself and conduct weddings. Hold them in a kalyāṇa maṇḍapa; there is no objection at all to that. Marry, and come happily; I will bless you with full Prema. Become householders, give the country a fitting ideal, render fitting service, and go on spreading the feeling of oneness. Today is Gokulāṣṭamī. The day Kṛṣṇa was born. What is this birth of Kṛṣṇa? It is the birthday of the outward form. You must take Kṛṣṇa's commands as your ideal. You must hold Kṛṣṇa's command above all. Kṛṣṇa is not one thing and Kṛṣṇa's word another. Swami is not one thing and Swami's word another. Swami is the word, the word is Swami. The Gītā is Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa is the Gītā. Give no room to difference!
