Fanaticism, by Javier Figuerola (Haripada dasa)
Srila Prabhupada always said that religion without philosophy is sentiment or fanaticism. First I will try to analyze the psychology of religious fanatic.
This person does not listen to anyone, since he thinks he knows everything and everyone else is beneath him.
If he sees that someone has great devotion to God or Krishna and Srila Prabhupada, who is very pure, very knowledgeable and wise, he instead of rejoicing, envies.
He does not know how to deal with devotees or with people in general.
He is very intolerant and wants everyone to be also fans (we see him with the Catholic kings of Spain, they thought we are genuine religious and Muslims are demons, we will annihilate them ... after a while, we thought Muslims we are genuine religious and Christians are demons will destroy them ...).
This person thinks that others are fans and he is very well placed.
The worst thing that could happen to a person practicing spiritual life is falling into fanaticism or sentimentality. And fanaticism is everywhere, religion, sports, politics, economics, education, etc.
Someone threw the question, I am a fan, what can I do to not be?
First of all you must not associate with fans, as we said before Srila Prabhupada said the cause of fanaticism is the lack of philosophy must study well the books of Srila Prabhupada and practice, so you'll be a devotee without fanaticism.
It's very interesting what the book entitled THE Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura BHAGAVATA, HIS PHILOSOPHY. THE ETHICS AND THEOLOGY.
When thought awakens, the thinker is no longer ignorant and are able to get a complete idea of religion. This is true and God has done so in His infinite goodness, fairness and mercy. The work pays and entertainment will never be rewarded -is a useful-indeed who does not think should be satisfied with superstition until you wake up and open your eyes to the God of love. The reformers because of their universal love and who crave good, try for some or other means make thoughtless people drink the cup of salvation, but the latter's drink wine and fall to the ground under the influence of intoxication, because imagination also has the power to do one thing it ever was. Here's how the evils of convents and corruptions of Akras advanced. No, we will not defame the savior of Jerusalem or the Savior of Nadia for these subsequent evils. We Luthers rather critical to correct these evils by the true interpretation of the original precepts.
Luther did two things, one that saw the Catholic religion was very degraded and made its own independent group, this group was never recognized by the Catholic Church, but it was approved by the King of Germany. And two to see that the Bible was so changed by personal interests, grabbed the original writings Arameans and made his Bible. I suggest you watch the movie Luther, is very interesting.
Another point I always emphasize is that do not get into criticism or political, the cause of the reviews and policy is the envy and offenses are made. When Prahlada Maharaja went to school, demonic teachers told that the first thing you are going to teach political science, these are our friends and those are our enemies, and Prahlada Maharaja told them that I can not accept this as I I see that all are children of God. You are in ignorance.
There are two MAXIMUM Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada who have helped me in my spiritual life, is that NOBODY CAN HURT YOU, YOURSELF CAN ONLY HURT YOURSELF AND OTHERS TO DO WHAT YOU WANT TO NO RESPECT ME, I ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH WORK CONVICTED PURIFY MY MIND.
Ultimately the spiritual life depends on your sincerity, as cap14 Nectar of Devotion says: Actually, cultivation of knowledge or renunciation, which are favorable to settle in the plane of Krishna consciousness, can accept at first but in the end can also be rejected because devotional service depends only on the feeling or desire you have for that service. Requires no more than sincerity.
Chant the Maha-mantra: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare and be happy.
Srila Prabhupada Serve with love, faith, gratitude and attachment and your life will be successful and sublime.
