Devotees have asked me about the meaning of the 3rd stroke. How to meditate deeply on the 3rd stroke? I will tell you some tips, some sphurtis I get while meditating on 3rd stroke. And that is, the 1st stroke Nitai approaches the house of the soul and the 2nd stroke the soul opens the door and accepts Nitai's mercy. The 3rd stroke is Nitai goes away from the house and its like a distance, you know 1st, 2nd and 3rd are at a distance. So Nitai goes to the next house but the meaning of the 3rd stroke is that Nitai has not forgotten that souls whom He has given His love to in the 1st and 2nd stroke even though He is going to another house and approaching. His sidelong glance, His merciful kripadrishti He is still remembering that soul. Sometimes I see in the 3rd stroke Nitai actually discussing with His associates as He is moving to another house to deliver that soul. How fortunate He is, how much Nitai cares and loves him and his whole family have got love due to him, and Nitai thinks about him how to engage him or her in service of Gaura Krishna. 

So Nitai is like discussing with His associates. That is His kripa drishti, 3rd stroke you know. And then the 4th stroke is actually His instruction on what He has meditated on about the soul and how to help him, how to engage that soul. So the 4th stroke is, reveals everything how to go to the next level. That as I said ādau śraddhā tataḥ sādhu-saṅgo ‘tha bhajana-kriyātato ‘nartha-nivṛttiḥ syāttata niṣṭhā rucis tataḥathāsaktis tato  bhāvastataḥ premā

ता stands for nishtha ruchi asakti and इ stands for bhaav and prem.

I had very beautiful comment on YouTube by our bhakt Andy and he said that through His plow and club He kinds of cleanses our heart and then through His flute He blows away the dust. So he has made a beautiful point that cleansing the dust which arises, it doesnot linger for long because it gets blown away when we write इ His flute, it gets blown away. So you just have to be patient with vayulekhan, just continue remembering. You may feel monotonous in beginning, you may feel oh same forms over and over again. But you know we as devotees chant same names over and over again for decades, for whole life, same forms, same things we read 100 times Chaitanya Bhagvat 100 times Bhaktisiddhant said, Gaurakishor das babaji said. So its same thing but nectar is more and more because 1st time, 2nd time, 3rd time we don't go deeper deeper, so it's infinte the form, the strokes, the shapes of the namaksharas is infinite paratatva akshar aakar. everything is revealed more and more as we meditate, remember more and more deeply we become.
