Chintãmanni loka-sukham suradruh swargasampadam|
prayacchati Guruh preeto vaikuntam yogidurlabham||
(Srimad Bhãgavata Mãhatmyam 1:8)
Chintãmani is a magic stone that fulfills the wishes of the one having it in his hands. But, it is limited to bestowing only
‘loka sukha’ (worldly comforts). ‘Kalpataru’ (‘suradruh’) is a wish-fulfilling tree that can bestow a person with anything including the pleasures
of the heavens (‘swarga’). However, it is limited to this only. It cannot bestow anything beyond this. But, the one who has earned the affection
of the Guru attains to Vaikuntam that is rare even for the Yogis! A person says, ‘I am full of faults; yet, my Guru showers me with affection!
I know not the reason!’ Such a person, indeed, attains to Vaikuntam.
