Revelation and Imagination
Q: What is the function of imagination in terms of spiritual practice? Because we are cautious not to imagine things but wait for spiritual revitalization. — Q: Recently we were celebrating the Appearance Day of Nityānanda Prabhu. In Śrī Chaitanya Charitamrita, Adi-līlā, Chapter 17, Verses 13-15 it is described: “One day Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu exhibited to Lord Nityānanda Prabhu a six-armed form bearing a conch shell, disc, club, lotus flower, bow and flute. Thereafter the Lord showed Him His four-armed form, standing in a three-curved posture. With two hands He played upon a flute, and in the other two He carried a conch shell and disc. Finally the Lord showed Nityānanda Prabhu His two-armed form of Kṛṣṇa, the son of Mahārāja Nanda, simply playing on His flute, His bluish body dressed in yellow garments.” What should we consider as chintya in this adhokshaja-līlā? And what is the ontological significance of this līlā? — Q: Why chasing dreams never brings satisfaction? Are we doomed to never ending frustration in this world? If yes, then in what sort of disguise we may find our blessing?

This world is not just a miserable place — it's a temporary miserable place.
We are presenting ourselves to Guru and Vaishnavas to be, in a sense, remade.
