The interests, by Haripada dasa
In Srila Prabhupada's book titled Lord Chaitanya's teachings, chapter 12 describes the 26 qualities of the pure devotee of God or Krishna, and one of them is that the devotee's interest lies in the essence of life, the which is spiritual. It is very interesting that Srila Prabhupada says in the nectar of instruction that the interests and aspirations of a person are developed according to the company that they maintain, in other words, tell me who you are with and I will tell you who you are, once a guest asked him to Srila Prabhupada that as I can become a devotee, and Srila Prabhupada replied that a drunkard becomes a drunkard because he associates with drunkards, in the same way a devotee becomes devout by associating with devotees. Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura always said that the rebellious soul is very hostile to serving God or Krishna and His devotees. And in the Bhagavad-gita, chapter 7 verse 15, God or Krishna describes people who do not surrender to Him, says those evil ones who are grossly foolish, the lowest among humanity, whose knowledge has been stolen by the Illusion and participating in the atheistic nature of demons, do not surrender to Me. And in the same chapter, verse 16, God or Krishna describes the pious people, there he says that four kinds of pious people render Me devotional service: the afflicted, the one who wants wealth, the inquisitive and the one who seeks knowledge of the Absolute.
Srila Prabhupada always said that people do not understand anything about the spiritual life because they are full of sinful activities, it is said in the Spiritual Scriptures of India that people are so sinful in this age that they will not see again the human form of life in millions and millions of births. People do not understand how valuable this human form of life is, the goal of life is to understand and love God or Krishna and His devotees and how there is only God or Krishna and His energies naturally if you love God or Krishna you will love everything and everyone. A devotee of God or Krishna is the only person who has no personal interests, the devotee has no interest apart from the interest of God or Krishna, all people have personal interests, but they do not know that the cause of all their sufferings is having those personal interests.
