1260: Freeing Up the Mind for Meditation

let resentment go to free up the mind in chanting meditation / What are the qualities of a Bhakti-yogi? They are like a rooster, a crane, salt, and you! / a rooster picks out the valuable nourishment even in the dung / salt enhances all the other flavors and yet takes no credit / the crane ignores the petty little fish and stays focused on what counts / in the end, Radha and Krishna are the only "Big Fish" / don't let validation from others be your food / we can be the handle of the Vishnu axe / dharma, artha, kama, moksha, and beyond that is prema - the highest goal / don't go to the jewelry store and walk out with some plastic - don't go to the Vedas or the sadhu for material wealth
