But there is another level of conscious
awakening...going deep...and it is very rare. At the diamond shop there may be only a few customers.
"Diamond is diamond. It must be purchased by the suitable customer. Because there is no customer I shall throw it away? So we have got diamond. It is not possible that everyone will purchase it, but there must be diamonds. People must know that "Here is diamond. If I want it, I must pay the proper price."
For those devotees who desire to know the Truth, the Lord, in His primeval form, His most original form devoid of awe and reverence, where God is not recognized for His superiority, power and might, but is rather perceived through eyes of love there is the deeper consciousness. For that fortunate person who is willing to pay the price of submissive aural reception to the message of Love of Godhead as it is presented by a Devotee who is passing the knowledge down through line of succession without adding or taking away and who is still yet able to adapt the presentation according to time place and circumstance, for such a fortunate person who can hear like that the path back Home, Back to Godhead is open before them.
As Lord Brahma sings at the beginning of the creation of the present universe:
venum kvanantam aravinda-dalayataksham-
barhavatamsam asitambuda-sundarangam
kandarpa-koti-kamaniya-vishesha-shobham
govindam adi-purusham tam aham bhajami
"I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who is adept in playing on His flute, with blooming eyes like lotus petals with head decked with peacock’s feather, with the figure of beauty tinged with the hue of blue clouds, and His unique loveliness charming millions of Cupids."
That the source of everything spiritual and material is a beautiful all attractive person who enjoys eternally pastimes of loving exchanges is the most secret of all secrets.
What is even more wondrous is that simply by hearing submissively and attentively about Him He can be perceived. The more we hear about Him the more the heart clears of temporary activities and disturbances We become peaceful, joyful, fearless, and full of self realization.
"This knowledge is the king of education, the most secret of all secrets. It is the purest knowledge, and because it gives direct perception of the self by realization, it is the perfection of religion. It is everlasting, and it is joyfully performed."
"For one who explains the supreme secret to the devotees, devotional service is guaranteed, and at the end he will come back to Me.
There is no servant in this world more dear to Me than he, nor will there ever be one more dear."
To find such a servant and hear from them submissively is the greatest blessing anyone could ever hope to achieve.
