When we speak of brahmÄášá¸a, we refer to the whole universe, or to the cluster of many millions of universes. In all the universes there are innumerable planets, and there are innumerable living entities upon those planets â in the air, on land and in the water. There are millions and trillions of living entities everywhere, and they are engaged by mÄyÄ in suffering and enjoying the results of their fruitive activity, life after life. This is the position of the materially conditioned living entities. Out of many of these living entities, one who is actually fortunate (bhÄgyavÄn) comes in contact with a bona fide spiritual master by KášášŁášaâs mercy.
KášášŁáša is situated in everyoneâs heart, and if one desires something, KášášŁáša fulfills oneâs desire. If the living entity by chance or fortune comes in contact with the KášášŁáša consciousness movement and wishes to associate with that movement, KášášŁáša, who is situated in everyoneâs heart, gives him the chance to meet a bona fide spiritual master. This is called guru-kášášŁáša-prasÄda. KášášŁáša is prepared to bestow His mercy upon all living entities, and as soon as a living entity desires the Lordâs mercy, the Lord immediately gives him an opportunity to meet a bona fide spiritual master. Such a fortunate person is fortified by both KášášŁáša and the spiritual master. He is helped from within by KášášŁáša and from without by the spiritual master. Both are prepared to help the sincere living being become free from material bondage.
How one can become this fortunate can be seen in the life of ĹrÄŤla NÄrada Muni. In his previous life he was born of a maidservant. Although he was not born into a prestigious position, his mother was fortunately engaged in rendering service to some Vaiᚣášavas. When these Vaiᚣášavas were resting during the CÄturmÄsya period, the boy NÄrada took the opportunity to engage in their service. Taking compassion upon the boy, the Vaiᚣášavas offered him the remnants of their food. By serving these Vaiᚣášavas and obeying their orders, the boy became the object of their sympathy, and by the Vaiᚣášavasâ unknown mercy, he gradually became a pure devotee. In the next life he was NÄrada Muni, the most exalted of Vaiᚣášavas and the most important guru and ÄcÄrya of Vaiᚣášavas.
Following in the footsteps of NÄrada Muni, this KášášŁáša consciousness movement is rendering service to humanity by giving everyone a chance to come in contact with KášášŁáša. If one is fortunate, he becomes intimately related with this movement. Then, by the grace of KášášŁáša, oneâs life becomes successful. Everyone has dormant kášášŁáša-bhakti â love for KášášŁáša â and in the association of good devotees, that love is revealed. As stated in the Caitanya-caritÄmášta (Madhya 22.107):
nitya-siddha-kášášŁáša-prema âsÄdhyaâ kabhu naya
ĹravaášÄdi-Ĺuddha-citte karaye udaya
Dormant devotional service to KášášŁáša is within everyone. Simply by associating with devotees, hearing their good instructions and chanting the Hare KášášŁáša mantra, dormant love for KášášŁáša is awakened. In this way one acquires the seed of devotional service. Guru-kášášŁáša-prasÄde pÄya bhakti-latÄ-bÄŤja.
