When you worship Radha Rani, you worship everyone. Even the Vedas cannot know Radha Rani. They are saying,
“We do not know Her beginning or end. We can’t understand Her.”
She is agam (impossible to understand). Yet, at the same time, atisugam (extremely easy to attain). How? ‘Deenan hit sukumar’ (दीनन हित सुकुमार - by the humble souls).
One thing Radha Rani loves is humility. ‘Ab Radha Rani ke paas jana, to koi bal leke mat jao.’ (अब राधा रानी के पास जाना, तो कोई बल लेके मत जाओ। -Now, when you go to Radha Rani, do not take any strength with you.) We are going to Radha Rani, that entity whom Shree Krishna is worshipping, then don’t take any kind of strength to go to Her. We have so many strengths in the world. Somebody has money, somebody has knowledge, somebody can sing very nice, somebody can speak very sweetly, an orator. Somebody is very beautiful, very handsome. Someone has strength. Leave all this. Give up all this strength. Become powerless.
तृणादपि सुनीचेन तरोरपि सहिष्णुना।
अमानिना मानदेन कीर्तनीयः सदा हरिः॥Tṛiṇād api sunīchena taror api sahiṣhṇunā.
Amāninā mānaden kīrtanīyaḥ sadā hariḥ.- Shikshastak
Gaurang Mahaprabhu tells us in his Shikshastak,
“ First of all,” it’s the first lesson. “You want to go to Radha Rani, She is extremely easy to attain - atisugam.”
But how do you go?
First thing - one has to be humbler than a blade of grass. Give up all the strength. Forget that I am handsome, I am pretty. I have money. I can sing very sweetly. I can speak so sweetly. Give up everything. Like a newborn child, give up all the powers.
‘Taror api sahiṣṇunā’ (तरोरपि सहिष्णुना) Become more tolerant than a tree, than a fruit-bearing tree. You have to get angry, but you do not get angry. We get angry so easily as long as we are under maya (material energy, illusion). Everybody gets angry. Some of us like to think we don’t. Some of us can bear anger more than others, we can tolerate, and remain quiet. Inside is burning.
“I wish I could give him a slap! But we remain quiet.
No, no. You have to be more tolerant on the inside also.
Shree Maharaj used to say, “The more you can tolerate, ‘sahan ki shakti barhao’ (increase your tolerance), the more you can tolerate, the more bhakti (devotion) you will get.”
But we can’t tolerate. We can’t tolerate this person, how they look. We can’t tolerate how this one speaks. We can’t tolerate how that one looks. Hey Bhagwan (God)! All little, little things. We get angry.
And then we want Radha Rani. We forget Radha Rani is sitting in our heart, looking (at our actions). She is looking. How are we going to get Radha Rani? So She is so easy, extremely easy, to attain. But of course, humility is foremost.
