Carving for worldly glories and recognition is the surest
way to physical and mental restlessness. The whole world is running madly after
name, fame, and recognition. But why do we want recognition? Have we ever asked
ourselves this question? We want name,
fame, and recognition so that people may understand out greatness. Everyone in
this world considers himself to be a very great person and so he wants people
to respect him. Even those, who don’t’ have any extraordinary ability or talent
by which they can become famous, try to obtain fame by connecting themselves
with those who are famous. That is why people want to have their photograph
taken with a popular film star or cricketer; so that they can show it to others
and make an unspoken statement,” just see! I am putting my hands on the
shoulder of this famous cricketer. Just see! And understand my greatness!” thus
everyone wants to achieve recognition in some way or other.
But in complete contrast, Lord Gauranga Mahaprabhu prays:
na dhanam na janam na sundarim
kavitam va jagadisha kamaye
Mama janmani isvare
bhavatad bhaktir ahaituki tvayi
