You-not-fit-for-anything/Iam-better mentality

Gaudiya Vaishnava philosophy bases itself on the rudimentary proposition that one needs to be the servant of the servant of the servants (das anu-das anu-das). the Vaishnava saints have written truck loads of poems expressing their humility.. Narottama Das specially exemplary . even Srila Prabhupada's Vrndavan Bhajan also of the same genre. But how difficult it is for us to follow this.. We donot leave any stone unturned in showing that we are better. giving comments on why the other person is not as much KC as me ( as if you are the most Krishna Conscious entity in the entire universe). This is what i have coined as You- not-fit-for-anything or I am-better mentality.
Introspecting on the same and relating to Vaishnava teachings gives a simple resolution , the I am and you to be interchanged.
you got it ..
You-not-fit-for-anything/I am-Better
to be replaced with
I am-not-fit-for-anything/You better

so much difference one word makes.
My daily prayer now a days after every prem dhvani or the night prayers to contain this..
Gurudev.. kripa bindu diya koro ei dase trnapekha ati hina..
Sakale sahane, bolo diya koro , nija mane spriha hina
sakale sammana korite sakati . deho natha jatha jatha
tabe to gaibe hari naama sukhe. aparadha habe hatha..

Hopefully one day i will be able to take holy name properly by following the reverse of the heading of the blog.. :)
(gurudeva .. please
Sakale sammana karite sakati..
