I have come to the conclusion

I have come to the conclusion, by Haripada dasa
I have concluded that relationships with other devotees is not an easy thing, God or Krishna and Srila Prabhupada and all Spiritual Masters of disciplic succession are oceans of love and mercy, the relationship with them is easy and pleasant , with God or Krishna one relates through the Mahamantra Hare Krishna, studying the Gita, seeing the Deities, etc., and with all the Spiritual Masters of the disciplic succession one relates to them by obeying his instructions.
But interacting with people who are not an ocean of love and mercy is not easy, because everyone thinks that I am superior to others, nowadays nobody goes through life presenting themselves as the fool number one and I need love and mercy of others.
This verse from the Bhagavatam, 8.22.10, which was spoken by Bali Maharaja, always called my attention, it says that My grandfather, the best of men, who reached unlimited knowledge and was worthy of the worship of all, feared The common people of this world. Since he was fully convinced that Your lotus feet constitute the safest refuge, he took refuge in them against the will of his father and his demonic friends, whom You yourself killed.
My best friends in Krishna consciousness are those people who share with me the instructions of Srila Prabhupada.

Misconceptions

Misconceptions, by Haripada dasa
Hare Krishna, with love and confidence I share that I have a DVD that Srila Prabhupada is preached in Australia to some lawyers, Srila Prabhupada emphasized many times that God or Krishna is the owner of everything because He has created everything, and one of the lawyers said that we work with other concepts, and Srila Prabhupada said that these concepts must be rectified because they are wrong, there are two ways of living, one is speculating, and the other is when one relies on the Guru or Srila Prabhupada, Sadhu or Holy Person and Sastra or Sacred Scripture.
I remember when Srila Prabhupada was in his physical or vapu form, that there were disagreements between the Presidents of temples and the Sankirtaneros or the people who distributed Srila Prabhupada's books, the Presidents of temples said that the Sankirtaneros said strange mantras and that was to deceive To the people, Srila Prabhupada to harmonize the situation said that if a person acts to please Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga, if a person has full faith that God or Krishna is the owner of everything because He has created everything, and uses all in the service of Krishna and if a person has full faith that Krishna is the best friend, that person is honest, and another person who does not act following these three concepts is a first-class deceiver.
The most misconceptions are that people think that we are the body made of air, mucus and bile, that the land where he was born is worthy of worship, nationalism, and that he goes to the pilgrimage places to take a bath, but you have no interest in hearing spiritual knowledge of the holy people who live there, the Bhagavatam congratulates that person and tells you that you have the same awareness of a donkey or a cow, and another very wrong concept is that of love, people think that love means joining the urinals, the sexual life, so in chapter 15 of the Nectar of devotion it is said:
The author of Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Kavirāja Kṛṣṇadāsa, explained the difference between lustful desire and the attitude of service, in the following statement:
"The 'lustful desire' refers to the desire to please our personal senses, and the 'transcendental desire' refers to the desire to serve the senses of the Lord."
In the material world there is no such thing as a lover who wants to please the senses of his loved one. To tell the truth, in the material world, everyone wants to please their own personal senses. However, the gopīs did not want anything that was not to please the senses of the Lord, and in the material world there are no cases like this. Therefore, scholars sometimes describe the ecstatic love of the gopīs for Kṛṣṇa as if it were similar to the "lustful desire" of the material world, but in reality this should not be taken literally. This is nothing more than a way of trying to understand the transcendental situation.
Krishna conscious people have the great job of sharing all the teachings of Srila Prabhupada to human society, the result of living with wrong concepts is much suffering, and the result of living with spiritual and eternal concepts is to live full of knowledge, bliss and our return home, our return to Krishna will be guaranteed.

The masses are terrible

The masses are terrible, by Haripada dasa
In the books of the talks, Srila Prabhupada is talking with his disciples about the death of Jesus Christ and Srila Prabhupada said that Jesus Christ was killed by the masses, the masses are terrible, this statement by Srila Prabhupada has a lot of depth, when one enters the masses lose their individual identity and intelligence and get carried away by the masses, the basis of the masses is fanaticism and ignorance.
On a walk in Mayapur, March 14, 1976, Srila Prabhupada said that the whole world is a society of deceivers and deceived, that is the version of my guru-maharaja, so do not become a deceiver or let them deceive you, that It is intelligence.
Now the masses are called globalization, globalization means that there are very skilled people in deceiving themselves and others, those political leaders use the masses as tools to satisfy their personal ambitions, and how those political leaders live in the concept corporal and full of ignorance and envy create havoc in society.
The first thing that the Holy Scriptures of India such as Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam advise us is to come out of the darkness of ignorance and come to the Light, God or Krishna is the Light, and ignorance and illusion is the darkness, where God or Krishna is there can be no darkness. The masses are like a flock of sheep, they all go together, and if the leaders of those masses are people full of ignorance and envy take the masses down the street of bitterness, so one must be very brave and determined to leave of the masses and find their true spiritual being.
Srila Prabhupada always said that people do not understand the simplest truths of life because they live full of sinful activities. The first lesson in the spiritual life is that we must understand and accept that we are not the temporary material body but eternal spiritual souls, we are parts and portions of God or Krishna and our true happiness will be found by serving God or Krishna and His devotees.
Nowadays, this simple truth is not taught in educational institutions, nor is it taught by religions, hypocritical people need to put a wedge to identify with a religion, but those religions are false because they do not teach the truth, and leaders of those religions live like kings at the expense of the ignorance of their followers.
At the end of Bhagavad Gita, God or Krishna tells Arjuna to abandon all religions and just surrender to Me, I will free you from all your sinful activities, do not fear. True religion is knowing God and loving him, and since there is only God and His Energies, when one loves Krishna, naturally one will love everything and everyone, but people are not interested in knowing God or loving him, what people like most is to suffer and be deceived and live like a sheep in the masses and spend 24 hours a day lamenting.

About respect

About respect
I share some very interesting verses from the Bhagavatam about respect:
SB 6.7.29-30
Translation:
The āchārya, the spiritual master who teaches Vedic knowledge and initiation by offering the sacred cord, is the personification of all Vedas. In the same way, the father personifies Lord Brahmā, a brother, King Indra, the mother, the planet Earth, and a sister, to mercy. A visitor is the personification of religious principles, and the guest personifies the demigod Agni; living entities personify Lord Viṣṇu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Srila Prabhupada Meaning:
The moral instructions of Chāṇakya Paṇḍita tell us: ātmavat sarva-bhūteṣu: We must see all living entities at our same level. This means that we should not belittle anyone, considering him inferior; Paramātmā is in everyone's body, and, therefore, everyone should be respected as temples of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This verse explains various ways of showing respect, be it to the guru, the father, a brother, a sister, a visitor, etc.
My conclusion is that when there is no respect, there are envies and offenses, and above respect is love, if one loves God or Krishna, he will love everyone and everything, since that person understands that there is only Krishna and His energies, and so one is not able to kill an ant, the examples that Srila Prabhupada gives us is that when we give the root of a plant, the whole plant benefits, and when we put food to the stomach, the whole body benefits, so that when we love Krishna, we love everyone and everything.
A person who lives influenced by ignorance and passion, cannot understand the issues of Krishna consciousness, once a devotee asked Srila Prabhupada how we can live in goodness, and Srila Prabhupada replied that singing the 16 rounds of the Maha-mantra Hare Krishna, the 3 Gayatris and strictly obeying the 4 regulative principles, there is no other way.

The Moon

The Moon, by Haripada dasa
I share that I have a DVD in which Srila Prabhupada is talking to the Director of Social Assistance of Australia, and this man tells Srila Prabhupada that people think that Hare Krishnas are very few, and Srila Prabhupada tells him that the Moon compared to the stars is nothing, there are millions of stars, however those millions of stars do not illuminate anything, but only the moon illuminates everything, we are trying to make first class people, as in the Christian world, Jesus Christ is the first class person Srila Prabhupada also always said that we don't want shooting stars, we want moons.
As I understand the Moon, Srila Prabhupada, will always be there for the next 10,000 years, the Moon, Srila Prabhupada, will be there giving Light, Love and Mercy through his books, classes, letters, videos, photos, Deities, etc.
The way the guru appears in your life is illustrated very well in the story of Dhruva Maharaja, his mother told him that only God or Narayana could help him, and asked his mother where God or Narayana is, and his mother He replied that the wise say that he is in the forest, then with great determination he went to the forest to look for Narayana, and God sent His representative Narada Muni to help Dhruva, in other words, God is in our hearts and he knows everything, and when he sees that a soul is serious and sincere he sends his representative, the guru, and when God sees that a soul wants to deceive himself and others, he sends him to a deceiver, so simple is the thing.
And the most important thing in the spiritual life is the association, we can always associate with the Moon, Srila Prabhupada, through his books, classes, letters, videos, photos, Deities, etc., and we must be very careful with the Stars, people who pretend to be serious and sincere followers of Srila Prabhupada, but in reality they have no love for Srila Prabhupada, if they had love for Srila Prabhupada they would obey his order that says you will show that you have love for me by working together to to expand this movement, I tried to unite all the devotees of the world that we have full faith that Srila Prabhupada is the way, the truth and the life, and if someone goes back home back to God or Krishna, it is by mercy of Srila Prabhupada, but I have come to the conclusion that each person does what he wants, we are very capricious.

Tolerance and mercy

Tolerance and mercy, by Haripada dasa
 Jesus Christ always said that praying to God for friends is easy, but you have to pray to God for our enemies. Jesus Christ was made many offenses and crucified, but he prayed to God for his offenders. He was merciful and tolerant, it is said that a great personality is measured by his degree of tolerance, of course that tolerance and mercy are two qualities that go together, a person is tolerant when he is very merciful, materialists are not even tolerant nor merciful, every day they send millions and millions of innocent animals to the slaughterhouse, and they are not tolerant, I saw how one person whistled at the car in front because the traffic light had turned green and the other got out of the car all annoying and ended up punching you
In relation to the subject, I share these very beautiful verses of Bhagavatam, 4, 12, 36 and 37:
36- The Vaikuṇṭha planets have their own light, and the reflection of their effulgence is the only cause of the light emitted by the luminous planets of the material world. Those who are not merciful to the other living entities cannot reach them. Only people who work without interruption for the welfare of other living entities can reach them.
37- People who are peaceful, balanced, clean, pure and knowledgeable about the art of pleasing all other living entities cultivate only the friendship of the devotees of the Lord; Only they can easily reach the perfection of going back home, back to God.
My conclusion is that the difference between a devotee of God or Krishna and an ordinary person, is that the devotee of God or Krishna is always thinking of doing good to others without wanting anything in return, by doing that he receives all the blessings of Srila Prabhupada and Krishna, and the ordinary person never thinks about doing good to others, she thinks that the goal of life is to be full of envy, selfishness, hypocrisy and fighting with others.

Upper and lower knowledge

Upper and lower knowledge
I share here a verse from CCML, 19, 17, Here Srila Prabhupada explains the superior and inferior knowledge.
TEXT 17
bhaṭṭācārya paṇḍita biśa triśa lañā
bhāgavata vicāra karena sabhāte vasiyā
SYNONYMS
bhaṭṭācārya paṇḍita—learned scholars known as bhaṭṭācāryas; biśa triśa—twenty or thirty; lañā—taking with him; bhāgavata vicāra—discussion of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam; karena—does; sabhāte vasiyā—sitting in an assembly.
TRANSLATION
Śrī Sanātana Gosvāmī used to discuss Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam in an assembly of twenty or thirty learned brāhmaṇa scholars.
PURPORT
Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura gives the following commentary on the words bhāgavata vicāra. As confirmed in the Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad (1.1.4,5), there are two kinds of educational systems:
dve vidye veditavya iti, ha sma yad brahma-vido vadanti-parā caivāparā ca. tatrāparā ṛg-vedo yajur-vedaḥ sāma-vedo 'tharva-vedaḥ śikṣā kalpo vyākaraṇaṁ niruktaṁ chando jyotiṣam iti. atha parā yayā tad-akṣaram adhigamyate.
"There are two kinds of educational systems. One deals with transcendental knowledge [parā vidyā] and the other with material knowledge [aparā vidyā]. All the Vedas-Ṛg Veda, Yajur Veda, Sāma Veda, Atharva Veda and their corollaries known as śikṣā, kalpa, vyākaraṇa, nirukta, chanda and jyotiṣa-belong to the inferior system of material knowledge [aparā vidyā]. By parā vidyā, one can understand the akṣara, Brahman or the Absolute Truth." As far as Vedic literature is concerned, Vedānta-sūtra is accepted as the parā vidyā. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is an explanation of that parā vidyā. Those who aspire for liberation (mukti or mokṣa) and introduce themselves as vaidāntika are also equal to those groups aspiring to improve religion (dharma), economic development (artha) and sense gratification (kāma). Dharma, artha, kāma and mokṣa are called catur-varga. They are all within the system of inferior material knowledge. Any literature giving information about the spiritual world, spiritual life, spiritual identity and the spirit soul is called parā vidyā. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam does not have anything to do with the materialistic way of life; it gives transcendental information to educate people in the superior system of parā vidyā. Sanātana Gosvāmī was engaged in discussing the bhāgavata-vidyā, which means he discussed transcendental superior knowledge. Those who are karmīs, jñānīs or yogīs are not actually fit to discuss Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Only Vaiṣṇavas or pure devotees are fit to discuss that literature. As stated in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam itself (12.13.18):
śrīmad-bhāgavataṁ purāṇam amalaṁ yad vaiṣṇavānāṁ priyaṁ
yasmin pāramahaṁsyam ekam amalaṁ jñānaṁ paraṁ gīyate
yatra jñāna-virāga-bhakti-sahitaṁ naiṣkarmyam āviṣkṛtaṁ
tac chṛṇvan supaṭhan vicāraṇa-paro bhaktyā vimucyen naraḥ
Although Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is counted among the Purāṇas, it is called the spotless Purāṇa. Because it does not discuss anything material, it is liked by transcendental Vaiṣṇava devotees. The subject matter found in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is meant for paramahaṁsas. As it is said: paramo-nirmatsarāṇām. A paramahaṁsa is one who does not live in the material world and who does not envy others. In Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, devotional service is discussed to arouse the living entity to the transcendental position of jñāna (knowledge) and vairāgya (renunciation). As stated in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (1.2.12):
tac chraddadhānāḥ munayo
jñāna-vairāgya-yuktayā
paśyanty ātmani cātmānaṁ
bhaktyā śruta-gṛhītayā
"That Absolute Truth is realized by the seriously inquisitive student or sage who is well equipped with knowledge and who has become detached by rendering devotional service and hearing the Vedānta-śruti."
This is not sentiment. Knowledge and renunciation can be obtained through devotional service (bhaktyā śruta-gṛhītayā), that is, by arousing one's dormant devotional consciousness, Kṛṣṇa consciousness. When Kṛṣṇa consciousness is aroused, it relieves one from fruitive activity, activity for economic improvement and material enjoyment. This relief is technically called naiṣkarma, and when one is relieved, he is no longer interested in working hard for sense gratification. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is Śrīla Vyāsadeva's last mature contribution, and one should read and hear it in an assembly of realized souls while engaging in devotional service. At such a time one can be liberated from all material bondage. This was the course taken by Sanātana Gosvāmī, who retired from government service to study Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam with learned scholars.

My conclusion is that people who are in lower knowledge do appreciate people who are in higher knowledge, they benefit a lot, but if they envy and criticize people who are in higher knowledge, their future is very dark .

Interesting points,

Interesting points, by Haripada dasa
One of the interesting points is in the biography of Bhaktivinoda Thakura, he is a Nitya Siddha, an eternally perfect soul, and yet there were people who criticized and envied him, and as time went by those people realized that Bhaktivinoda Thakura He was a pure soul, a pure devotee of God or Krishna, and they went to apologize for their offenses, and Bhaktivinoda Thakura always forgave them.
Another point is that I remember a class of Srila Prabhupada talking about Gaura Kisora ​​Das Babaji, Srila Prabhupada said that there were many materialistic people who were going to visit him, but that they had no spiritual interests, they thought, now I have 1 million rupees, and with the Blessings of the Babaji I will have 2 million rupees, and I will not give the Babaji anything to die of hunger, and so many people were foolish to visit the Babaji, and they in their foolishness thought that I had achieved all the Babaji's mercy , but in reality they never got any mercy from the Babaji, sometimes the Babaji not to see these people was singing The Maha-Mantra Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare in public toilets, and I thought they won't come here because it smells so bad here.
Another point is that at the beginning, Srila Prabhupada to expand his movement initiated people in a very easy way, I remember a class in which a guest shouted that I want to start with you, and Srila Prabhupada told him that you should answer two questions, one is who God is, and the guest replied that God is Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and then told him who you are, and he replied, that I am not the body, I am an eternal, eternal and eternal spiritual soul. Krishna's loving servant, and Srila Prabhupada told him that tomorrow I will initiate you.
Then Srila Prabhupada became more strict with the initiations, I remember a walk that said that initiating a person is not a joke, the Guru takes all the sinful reactions of the person, and if that person obeys the instructions of the Guru it will always remain pure. But if it falls that is your fault.
Thought to meditate:
A great person never takes into account the sins of those who have offended him. Instead, at all costs, he keeps his promise not to return evil for evil, because he knows that good behavior is the ornament of virtuous people.

Offenses against Guru and Vaisnavas

Offenses against Guru and Vaisnavas
Hare Krishna, with love and confidence I share this very important verse of Chaitanya Charitamrita, Madhya, 19, 156:
TEXT 156
yadi vaiṣṇava-aparādha uṭhe hātī mātā
upāḍe vā chiṇḍe, tāra śukhi' yāya pātā
SYNONYMS
yadi—if; vaiṣṇava-aparādha—an offense at the feet of a Vaiṣṇava; uṭhe—arises; hātī—an elephant; mātā—mad; upāḍe—uproots; vā—or; chiṇḍe—breaks; tāra—of the creeper; śukhi'-shriveling up; yāya—goes; pātā—the leaf.
TRANSLATION
"If the devotee commits an offense at the feet of a Vaiṣṇava while cultivating the creeper of devotional service in the material world, his offense is compared to a mad elephant that uproots the creeper and breaks it. In this way the leaves of the creeper are dried up.
PURPORT
One's devotional attitude increases in the association of a Vaiṣṇava.
tāṅdera caraṇa sevi bhakta-sane vāsa
janame janame haya, ei abhilāṣa
By his personal example, Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura stresses that a devotee must always remember to please his predecessor ācārya. The Gosvāmīs are represented by one's spiritual master. One cannot be an ācārya (spiritual master) without following strictly in the disciplic succession of the ācāryas. One who is actually serious in advancing in devotional service should desire only to satisfy the previous ācāryas. Ei chaya gosāñi yāra, mui tāra dāsa. One should always think of oneself as a servant of the servant of the ācāryas, and thinking this, one should live in the society of Vaiṣṇavas. However, if one thinks that he has become very mature and can live separate from the association of Vaiṣṇavas and thus gives up all the regulative principles due to offending a Vaiṣṇava, one's position becomes very dangerous. Offenses against the holy name are explained in Ādi-līlā (Chapter Eight, verse 24). Giving up the regulative principles and living according to one's whims are compared to a mad elephant, which by force uproots the bhakti-latā and breaks it to pieces. In this way the bhakti-latā shrivels up. Such an offense is especially created when one disobeys the instructions of the spiritual master. This is called guru-avajñā. The devotee must therefore be very careful not to commit offenses against the spiritual master. As soon as one is deviated from the spiritual master, the uprooting of the bhakti-latā begins, and gradually all the leaves dry up.
Link to this page: https://prabhupadabooks.com/cc/madhya/19/156
My conclusion is that in the verse before this Srila Prabhupada says that no one, no matter how high, should abandon the irrigation process of śravaṇa-kīrtana or listen and sing. If that process is abandoned, it is due to an offense. In other words, the symptom that one has offended the guru and the devotees is that he stops singing and listening, one thing that has helped me a lot is being grateful, when I start singing the rounds I pray to Srila Prabhupada and Krishna to bless me to sing without offenses and not to offend any mobile or immobile living entity, and when I finish the rounds, I always thank Srila Prabhupada and Krishna for letting me follow the process of Krishna consciousness.

Mukunda Dasa and Raghunanda Thakura

Mukunda Dasa and Raghunanda Thakura
Hare Krishna, I share a spiritual story:
One day, his father, Mukunda Dasa, who was a doctor, had to go on a medical business trip. He called Raghunandana at his side. He told Raghunandana candle because the Deity is served with great care and attention. He told him not to stop feeding the Deity. At the appointed time, taking his father's order in the head, it was Raghunandana doing the service. He took the food offering for the Deity. Raghunandan was just a child and told the Deity: "Come Eat!" When he saw that the offering seemed intact, he began to cry. Being unable to resist the intense devotion of the child, Krishna ate everything on the plate, leaving no remains.
When Mukunda Dasa returned, he asked the boy: "Bring me the remains of the prasada of the offering he made previously." The boy said: "Father, listen. I made the Deity eat as you told me. He left no remains. He ate the whole plate." Mukunda was amazed at what the boy was saying. He ordered the boy to offer food as before, Mukunda hid outside the house and looked out the window. Raghunandana, then, with great joy, offered Gopinatha a laddu. "! Come Eat!" , said. The Lord ate half of the laddu. Meanwhile, Mukunda, who was watching from outside, saw all this with great astonishment. He could understand that the Deity had already eaten once, and since he left no remains, his hunger was satisfied. As a result, he could only finish half of the laddu.
Then Mukunda Dasa and Raghunanda Thakura went to Puri to see Lord Gauranga, and in CCML, 15, from verses 112 to 117 Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu asked Mukunda who was the son and who was the father:
CC Madhya 15,112. Śrī Chaitanya Mahāprabhu then turned His attention to three of the people who had come from Khaṇḍa: Mukunda dāsa, Raghunandana and Śrī Narahari. CC Madhya 15,113. Śrī Chaitanya Mahāprabhu, the son of mother Śacī, then asked Mukunda dāsa: «You are the father and Raghunandana is your son. Isn't that right? CC Madhya 15,114. «Or is Śrīla Raghunandana your father and you his son? Please explain the situation to me, so that My doubts disappear. ”, CC Madhya 15,115. Mukunda replied: «Raghunandana is my father, and I am his son. That is my conclusion, CC Madhya 15,116. «All of us have achieved devotion to Kṛṣṇa thanks to Raghunandana. Therefore, I consider him my father. ”, CC Madhya 15,117. Hearing Mukunda express that wise conclusion, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu confirmed it by saying: “Yes, it is correct. He who gives rise to devotion to Kṛṣṇa is certainly the spiritual master.
My conclusion is that my attachment and my love is for Srila Prabhupada and for God or Krishna, and other people have to be tolerated, that is the solution to get along with everyone, tolerate, tolerate and tolerate, and when I see someone He wants to control me, I immediately break the relationship with that person.

Do as I have done

Do as I have done, by Haripada Dasa
Srila Prabhupada always said: "Do as I have done." And what was Srila Prabhupada doing, chanting Hare Krishna, respecting a simple prasada, fulfilling the orders given by his gurudeva, preaching Krishna consciousness, tolerating all the criticisms made by the brahmana or brahmana caste of India, the criticisms made by his spiritual brothers, before entering his samadhi lila said that they were poisoning them, and tolerates that most of his disciples have not wanted to obey his order to start in his name and have made his movement a madhouse, I I was thinking that if Srila Prabhupada has done all that, what can they do to us.
I remember that Jesus always told his disciples to remember, that if they hit you, they hit me before, remember, that if they crucify you, they crucified me before.
As I understand the wish of God or Krishna is that Srila Prabhupada is the acharya for the next 10,000 years through his books and through his serious and sincere followers. It is a practical fact that there are people who are against the desire of God or Krishna, these people are severely punished by material nature in the form of illnesses, both physical and mental.
Yesterday I was told by a devotee that I cannot understand how it is possible that devotees cannot choose Srila Prabhupada as their eternal savior, and instead of doing this they choose very strange people as their saviors. I told the devotee that everything is correct, for very serious and sincere people in the spiritual life, God or Krishna makes all arrangements to connect with Srila Prabhupada and his serious and sincere followers, and for people who do not They are so serious and sincere, God or Krishna makes arrangements for them to connect with first-class deceivers, God or Krishna pleases everyone, both the good and the bad, a grassy grass does not move without God's will or Krishna, not a snowflake falls without the will of God or Krishna.
Imitating Srila Prabhupada is very dangerous, at the end of text five of the Upadesamrita Srila Prabhupada says that if one is not self-realized, one should not imitate the behavior of the devout maha-bhagavata, because it will eventually be degraded by such imitation. We have seen this a lot in Iskcon, people without any spiritual experience allow them to do three days of Vyasa puja with great opulence knowing that Srila Prabhupada who is a Saktyavesa Avatara is only done one day of Vyasa puja, only a crazy band and from angry wraps they do these things.
Thoughts to meditate
The worst loss there is is to forget God or Krishna and His representative Srila Prabhupada.
Those who are humble despite all their wisdom are very good devotees of God or Krishna.
False or unauthorized gurus preach love to power, instead of pure love for God or Krishna, and preach division, rather than unity.
Today the atmosphere is so polluted that it is not easy to distinguish who are the destroyers and who are the benefactors.

The only way to meet us

The only way to meet us, by Haripada dasa
The first thing Srila Prabhupada did is inform us that we are not the temporal material body, but eternal spiritual souls, aham brahmasmi, jivera svarupa haya nitya Krishna dasa and gopi kamalayor dasadasadanudasa, this means that we are all eternal, loving and eternal servant spiritual souls of Krishna and His devotees and the servant of the servant of the servant of Krishna, the lover of the gopis, that is our eternal constitutional position, that never changes, and when we think that I am a brahmana or priest, a father of a family, they are my children, I am American, Italian, etc., that is called being covered with designations, designations mean misconceptions that chain you to the material world.
That is why Srila Prabhupada said that the first thing to do in Krishna consciousness is to free ourselves from the designations, and identify ourselves in our eternal constitutional position, and that is the only way to know each other, you imagine a society in which God or Krishna is the center, and everyone else has spiritual vision and only live to satisfy the center, that is, God or Krishna, that would be the spiritual world on Earth.
The cause of all people's sufferings is that we do not know how to relate to spiritual vision.
When one reads the Bhagavatam, he understands that when the Earth was ruled by holy kings such as Lord Ramachandra, Maharaja Yudisthira, Bharata Maharaja, etc., there was no materialism or atheism on Earth, all were devotees of Krishna, and nature was very kind, it was neither intense nor hot nor cold, there were no earthquakes, floods, etc., everyone was happy and prosperous, but now wherever you go people are full of envy, selfishness, hypocrisy and the tendency to fight with others are very strong, that's why Srila Prabhupada says in his books that when the holy kings ruled, the Earth was heaven, but now the Earth is ruled by hellish presidents and it is hell, those who fear these infernal rulers, to take refuge in the process of Krishna consciousness.
The conclusion is that the only way to know each other is on the spiritual level, on the material level that is not possible, I remember that when I settled in Spain in 2011, I met many people who knew me, and I I told everyone that I am not interested in having a material relationship with others, I am only interested in a spiritual relationship, and I was very surprised to see that people respected this decision of mine, and some even had an interest in knowing what it means a spiritual relationship, then I inform you about Krishna consciousness.
