Become a mouse again

 Become a mouse again, by Haripada dasa

According to the Harinama Chintamani, the pure devotee of Krishna is an ocean of mercy, and he distributes this mercy in 4 ways, 1, through his instructions, 2, the remnants of his food, 3, the dust of his lotus feet and 4, the water that washes his lotus feet, when Krishna's pure devotee enters his samadhi lila, the only way to live with him is by obeying his instructions. There are disciples who are so grateful for all his mercy that they sacrifice their life to make their Guru happy, and they develop great love for Sri Guru, and they become perfect devotees, and Krishna loves those devotees very much, and there are others who are very hypocritical, externally they pass themselves off as serious and sincere devotees, but internally they have many hidden desires, to illustrate this subject Srila Prabhupada expounded a story, the mouse and the sage, there was a mouse that was chased by cats, and he was to see a great sage who has many mystical powers, and he told the sage the cats want to devour me, and the sage told him what do you want, to be a cat, it's okay to be a cat, some time passed and he returned to the sage and He told him the dogs want to kill me, and the wise man said and what do you want, to be a dog, that's fine, be a dog, and in the end he went to see the wise man again and told him that the tigers want to devour me, and what do you want , be a tiger, okay, be a tiger, and stared at the wise man thought I'm here because I have my lunch, and the wise man told him to turn back into a mouse.

Srila Prabhupada criticized his disciples many times saying that they did not read his books, the result of not reading Srila Prabhupada's books is that one becomes fanatical and sentimental, I have come to the conclusion that to establish relationships with devotees based on in love and trust at least you have to be on the platform of Madhyama or intermediate, between Kanisthas or neophyte devotees it is not possible, because in the Kanistha there is envy, selfishness, hypocrisy and the tendency to fight with others is very strong, there is a book by Raghunatha dasa goswami entitled Mana-siksa or preaching to the mind, the essence of this book is that it tells us that the most difficult thing to purify is the tendency towards deception, we deceive ourselves and others, the only way to purify this is to dive into the ocean of nectar of Krishna consciousness.
