Bhakti

I was watching this show on youtube Sri Krishna. At one point, Lord Brahma stresses the importance of reading Srimad Bhagavatam, especially in the Kali Yuga, where Jnanam, and Vairagyam have been eroded away from humanity. He truly mentions that one, after many unfortunate births & deaths, is truly fortunate indeed to have the opportunity to have access to the scriptures like Srimad Bhagavatam. It is such a humbling thought for me to have the association of great bhaktas in Corvallis, and to have the facility to read Bhagavatam and Bhagavad Gita with them. I am truly blessed. The Lord's paadukais are indeed the means, as well as the Goal.

Another point I liked is how the Lord says: "I myself go and welcome the bhakta, who has abandoned all pride, and has resorted to me with utter helplessness. " I pray to that Merciful Bhagavan that he always keep me humble and show me the way to his Lotus Feet!
