For most of us Grant Road is known as nearest station to reach Radha Gopinath mandir, Today is Radha Gopinath's appearance day 28 years before they appeared for us,we will be discussing here not about only grant road station but also other forms or things that can be used for reaching Radha Gopinath such as Books,devotees,prasad, holy name and how we take them for granted and off course how to avoid this bad tendency .
Taking things granted means to use, accept in careless or indifferent manner , after passing few years near temple or in rich association of devotees we starts taking things for granted as if we will be eternal to have those things,when things are in abundance we take them for granted rather enriching our soul by their presence and when things to practice lack we become miserable, I know many of my friends who left k.c. because of no association available but also because they didn't take proper association when they were in rich association, few days back I was talking to disciple of Radhanath Maharaja from one country and he was telling me about how much he like to hear from Maharaja and whenever maharaja comes there he never misses his classes and always take shelter of his lectures and association seriously, I was just thinking although I am living so close to Radha Gopinath temple where maharaja spends his most of the time but so many lectures of his I have missed for silly reasons because I took things granted.
How many of us take holy name for granted while chanting , we decide while chanting that today I will chant carelessly but from tomorrow I will be serious, I will wake up early I with read about holy name and will chant 16 rounds in one sitting but from tomorrow.
How many of us take books for granted. We decide we will start reading SP books tomorrow and we keep postponing things.
And what to say of devotees sometimes we treat them so badly by our words and behaviour as if they don't have any feeling and they will be with us eternally ,no, understand their glories appreciate them now else we will surely regret.
How to avoid taking things granted-- by reading and hearing constantly we understand the glories of things related to krsna such as holy name,books ,his devotees and so many other things. When we understand glories then we will appreciate. Lets Read glories of holy name before chanting, observe senior devotees and their dealing with their godbrothers and how they take shelter of books , Radhanath Maharaja says "we should be grateful for every breath we take", now what to say of so many opportunity we have got to practice k.c. in blissful way so let's be grateful now and practice seriously else we will become fools in hand of Maya.
