“As the lotus grows in water, similarly the lotus feet of Sri Guru
are like a lotus that grows in the ocean of
bhakti-rasa. These lotus feet are aprakrta,
transcendental, not material. They are the abode
of transcendental bhakti-rasa, filled with madhurya,
sweetness and beauty, and very relishable. Just as the lotus
looks very beautiful to the eye, nayana-abhirama, and at-
tractive to the heart, citta-akarsaka, because it is shining
attractively, similarly, in the eye of the disciple the lotus feet
of guru also glisten with affection.”
