(Revealed truth) Srila Gurudev
Love and affection
If someone can properly follow the sadhu’s instructions and proceed under the sadhu’s guidance, then they will... be engaged in bhajana-kriya, real spiritual practising life. Through proper bhajana-kriya we will come to the stage of anartha-nivrtti, the removal of our unwanted habits. In the stage of anartha-nivrtti our hankering for mundane things will leave us, our senses will become controlled, and our conditioned nature will be removed. Anartha-nivrtti will not happen, however, unless we proceed in our bhajana-kriya with strong faith, love, and affection.
