The spiritual society 1st part

Our spiritual master Srila Prabhupada instructed us to share all spiritual knowledge he taught us to everyone, and that's what I'm trying to do.
The spiritual society 1st part by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
Our spiritual master Srila Prabhupada in his books gave us all the information to form a spiritual society. In a natural way, we are all born with head, arms, belly and legs; the social organization of the spiritual society is like a body in which all cooperate with each other, all have God as the center of their lives and are happy. The head are priests or intellectuals and work with the following qualities: ". The serenity, self-control, austerity, cleanliness, tolerance, honesty, knowledge, wisdom and religion" Priests are the head, and , what is the role of the head? Guide, they give free advice to managers on how to conduct the whole society. They are influenced by the mode of goodness. And how these priests are kept? They are well versed in all branches of knowledge; They know medicine and astrology, because everyone is interested in health and in knowing their future and give advice on how to advance spiritually. And people, in a natural way and in gratitude, they give them rice, wheat, milk, honey, sugar, etc. All foods in the mode of goodness.
Then there are the arms or administrators. And what is the role of arms? To protect. For example, if you are throwing rocks at your head, you protect yourself with your arms. The natural qualities of these managers are: "Heroism, power, determination, resourcefulness, courage in battle, generosity and leadership" These people are influenced by the mode of passion in this mode are committed.. .. many mistakes, so, these gentlemen, when they have to make decisions to fulfill their duty, they priests to ask their advice There is a very good rapport between priests and intellectuals and administrators managers for advice to priests; the priests give perfect advice and a free mode, and administrators put into practice the advice they give them the priests and so the whole social body feels very well protected.
Then there is the belly or traders, what is your natural work? Agriculture, cow protection and trade. They are in charge of feeding the entire social body. And how is it done? By barter. In the spiritual society there is no paper money and no large transactions are made. These people are influenced by a mixture of the mode of passion and ignorance.

FEARS

Fears, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
People live full of fears, the result is very conditioned living and locked. The first fear is that we have to take away the fear we have to know ourselves. The first spiritual lesson is to understand and accept that we are not the body, for example, you the person is inside his shirt and jacket, but you're not the shirt or jacket, the same way the spiritual soul is the person, and the body that covers it is impersonal, we have two bodies covering the soul, one is called the gross body or coarse which is composed of earth, water, fire, air and ether, that body we see it, and there is another body that is subtle, that do not see and is composed of mind, intelligence and false ego, so called subtle because we know that we have it but do not see. Both the gross body and the subtle bodies are impersonal, but the spiritual soul is the real person. The spiritual soul in its pure form is full of bliss, knowledge and eternity and natural and constitutional position is to serve with love and devotion to God in the spiritual body in the spiritual world forever, when we know who we are in the spiritual world, there will experience we are not the body or the material world. To understand and accept that we are eternal or that we have neither beginning nor end in a natural way free ourselves from the fear of death and that death means a change in body as well as a person discards old clothes and new clothes sets, likewise the spiritual soul discards the old and useless bodies and accepting new bodies, that is called death. Only the person experiencing eternity can be happy and free. It is a great sadness and a great disaster that all this spiritual information not taught in educational institutions, spiritual knowledge is the cause of happiness, and ignorance is the cause of all suffering, why materialists leaders and atheists they are very happy watching others suffer, and his greatest suffering is seen as devotees of God live happy and free. Is a practical fact understand and accept that when a person is not conscious of God, becomes the most dangerous animal and can create havoc in society.
Another fear is that we have to take away the fear we have to know God and to love him. To free ourselves from this fear we must have a preliminary desire for self-realization. That will lead one to the stage of trying to associate with persons who are spiritually elevated. In the next stage, one is initiated by an elevated spiritual master, and under his instruction the neophyte devotee begins the process of devotional service. By execution of devotional service under the guidance of the spiritual master, one becomes free from all material attachment, attains steadiness in self-realization, and acquires a taste for hearing about the Absolute Personality of Godhead, Lord Krishna. This taste leads one further forward to attachment for the state of Krishna consciousness, which is matured in bhava, or the preliminary stage of transcendental love of God. True love for God is called prema, highest perfectional stage of life, when you have love for God can not live without God even for a moment, as the fish can not live without water. The main symptom that shows a person who has love for God is that he is very excited that everyone knows the unlimited names, forms, qualities and pastimes of God.
I end this message by sharing this beautiful verse from Srimad Bhagavatam, 5, 18, 8:
"I offer my respectful obeisances to Lord Nrsimhadeva, the source of all power. Oh, my Lord, that you possess tooth and nail as lightning !, please destroys our demonic desires for fruitive activity in this material world. Please appear in our hearts and drive away our ignorance so that by Your mercy, may become fearless in the struggle for existence in the material world. "

MERCY

Mercy, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada Dasa
 We understand and accept that justice means the balance, each person has what he deserves, the law of karma, what you sow crops, and that mercy is a much higher that justice concept because mercy means you are giving something you do not deserve. A merciful person suffers when he sees others suffer and is happy when he sees others happy in the consciousness of God. Mercy and tolerance are linked, a very gracious person is very tolerant, for example Jesus Christ envious people made him many offenses, humiliated, beaten and crucified him, had to tolerate the intolerable, yet Jesus Christ at the same time was merciful and prayed to God to forgive their offenders because they did not know what they were doing, also to great devotee Srila Haridasa Thakura by chanting Hare Krishna Muslims beat him in twenty two markets, and the head of the Muslims told the executioners if they killed him not kill all their families, and Srila Haridas Thakur compassion executioners not to kill their families went into a coma and died, Muslims threw the body of Srila Haridas Thakur the river Ganges, and when touched water rose and out the other side chanting Hare Krishna, seeing this Muslims realized they had committed a great offense to a holy person were there and threw the lotus feet of Srila Haridas Thakur to forgive them. Therefore it is said that the greatness of one should be measured by the ability that one has to tolerate provoking situations. Materialists and atheists are neither merciful nor tolerant, they really enjoy watching the bulls the torture and kill, understand and accept that when a person is not aware of God becomes the most dangerous animal.
Our spiritual master Srila Prabhupada always said that preach God consciousness or Krishna is not easy, because the preacher should always go with the truth ahead and people who have a lot of false ego feel insulted and sometimes kill preachers.
 I share this beautiful message of Srimad Bhagavatam, 4, 12, 36:
 The Vaikuṇṭha planets or the spiritual planets have their own light, and the reflection of its effulgence is the sole cause of the light emitted by the luminous planets of the material world. They can not reach those who are not merciful to other living entities. Only people who work without interruption for the welfare of other living entities can reach them.

FOUR THINGS

Four things, Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
If by the mercy of God or Krishna and His representative Srila Prabhupada, I feel I'm happy, free, peaceful and full of satisfaction, I no longer want anything of this material world, God or Krishna describes this material world a place of suffering and temporary, may materialistic or atheistic say that I have a lot of money, women, yachts, etc. and I am very happy, but all that you have it because you deserve it, but it is temporary, if those things that God has given you do not use them to serve God and His devotees, in your next life you may be a cockroach one your yacht, in this connection there is a story of a person who amassed a great fortune for their children and grandchildren, and as fate in the next life began as a shoemaker in front of the house he built for his children and grandchildren, and when I went there to ask if they had shoes to fix them children and grandchildren they took to bashes.
I agree that by the mercy of God in 1983 concluded that true happiness is not in society, love and worldly friendship, but is within you, when a person forgets God, live in sheer ignorance, and ignorance is the cause of suffering, and the cause of happiness is spiritual or transcendental knowledge, until a person does not have a bona fide spiritual master, representative of God, it is like a rudderless ship, drifting, the mantra the teacher spiritual is that I was born in the darkest ignorance, and my spiritual master opened my eyes with the torch of knowledge, to him I offer my most humble obeisances. We are all born with four faults, we have imperfect senses, we live in ignorance, we have the tendency to deceive others, and we make mistakes, the spiritual master is free from these four defects and is a pure and perfect person, he is a humble and faithful servant of God, many people to see that Srila Prabhupada did things that no one in the history of mankind did, asked if he was God, and he always said that I am a humble servant of God and everything I've done has been by the mercy of God or Krishna and His representative my spiritual master.
Thought to ponder:
"If people are envious of themselves, as they will not envy others, our spiritual master Srila Prabhupada always said that people eat meat because envy the animals."

LOVE...

Love .... by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
The goal of life is to love God or Krishna and His representatives, God or Krishna is unlimited, He reveals the person who obeys its laws, Srila Prabhupada always said that if you sing with sincerity and seriousness the names of God, someday you will see God face to face.
And could I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, if I have no love for Krishna or God and His representative Srila Prabhupada, he is useless.
And could I have the gift of preaching and know all the secrets of the revealed scriptures and all knowledge, if I have no love for Krishna or God and His representative Srila Prabhupada, is useless.
And could I have a faith to move mountains, if I have no love for Krishna or God and His representative Srila Prabhupada, is useless.
And could I give in charity all the gold in the world, if I have no love for Krishna or God and His representative Srila Prabhupada, is useless.
Love for Srila Prabhupada and Krishna or God, it is comprehensive, it is helpful and does not envy or pride, is not ill-mannered or selfish, is not provoked, does not take account of evil, does not rejoice in injustice, but rejoices with the Absolute Truth. Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things, THAT LOVE IS ETERNAL, UNLIMITED and blissful.
The difference between love for God or Krishna and lust is the same as that between gold and iron, both are metals but there is a big difference in quality.
