Do you enter the temple with a bundle on your head?

- Mist became Moti-Kumarpal Desai

The devotee became emotional as soon as he took the first step on the land of Vrindavan which has more than a thousand temples. It is said that in ancient times, there were a lot of basil plants on this land. Some say that this Vrindavan is named after Lord Krishna's child friend Vrinda. Poet Jayadeva's 'Gitagovind' reflects the sweet words of Vrindavan's Radha-Krishna love affair.

In this 'Ramanareti' of such a holy Vrindavan, this Krishnabhakta is immersed, because to be immersed in this sand is the grace of God.

At the sight of Krishna Mandir, the tide of emotion rises in the heart of the devotee. He started singing and dancing. It became so emotional that tears started flowing from his eyes. As the devotee was about to enter the temple gate, the gatekeeper stopped him, 'Sorry, you cannot enter the temple.'

Krishnabhakta was very shocked. He said, 'Hey! If my devotion to Krishna! Look at my deprivation and thirst! You do not allow such a devotee to enter? '

The gatekeeper said, 'It is true that you are a devotee, but you cannot enter with a bundle on your head.'

'A bundle on my head?' The devotee looked at the head with both hands and said, 'Show me, where is the bundle? I came empty-handed. '

'Even if the hand is empty, the bundle is full.'

The devotee is agitated. He said, 'Either you make fun of me, or you embarrass me. I have nothing. You don't have a bundle on your head, do you? '

The gatekeeper said, 'Go inside and you will see a bundle. Putting hands on the head will not be noticeable. If you look in your heart, you will realize how many knots of mind are lying in that bag. Revenge and poison are inhabited. There are two levels of trajectory, dear and unpleasant. They will not be allowed to enter with such bags. '

The devotee understood the gist of the gatekeeper's words. He decided to leave everything and enter the Prabhubhakti Kaj temple and realized that there is no devotion as long as you and I are separate.

Lay out the bundle of 'I', only then true devotion emerges and after the fun of devotion comes only 'you' remain.
