Lord Jagannath Aarti worship Part2

"The worship of Deities in the temple by a separatist, with a motive for material enjoyment, fame and opulence, is devotion in the mode of passion." [Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.29.10]

PURPORT
The word "separatist" must be understood carefully. The Sanskrit words in this connection are bhinna-dṛk and pṛthag-bhāvaḥ. A separatist is one who sees his interest as separate from that of the Supreme Lord. Mixed devotees, or devotees in the modes of passion and ignorance, think that the interest of the Supreme Lord is supplying the orders of the devotee; the interest of such devotees is to draw from the Lord as much as possible for their sense gratification. This is the separatist mentality. Devotional service in the modes of ignorance, passion and goodness can be divided into eighty-one categories. There are different devotional activities, such as hearing, chanting, remembering, worshiping, offering prayer, rendering service and surrendering everything, and each of them can be divided into three qualitative categories. There is hearing in the mode of passion, in the mode
of ignorance and in the mode of goodness. Similarly, there is chanting in the mode of ignorance, passion and goodness, etc. Three multiplied by nine equals twenty-seven, and when again multiplied by three it becomes eighty-one. One has to transcend all such mixed materialistic devotional service in order to reach the standard of pure devotional service, as explained in the next verses. [Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.29.11-12 Purport]

Hare Kṛṣṇa! Hare Kṛṣṇa! Hare Kṛṣṇa! This is beautiful and you are singing Haribol :)

Jagannātha svāmī nayana paṭhagami bhavatu me—

Lord of the universe, kindly be visible unto me,

Jagannātha Svāmī, Your two round eyes rivet to my soul,

Jagannātha Svāmī, You are possessed of unlimited intellect, and we must look very silly to You,

Jagannātha Svāmī, I think it must be You alone who knows Your universe, America, myself.
