SIMPLE LIFE AND HIGH THOUGHT
Simple life and high thinking, by Javier Figuerola (Haripada Dasa)
By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada we understand and accept that by leading a simple life with elevated thoughts we are happy in this material world and are preparing to go back home to God.
Simple life means that we need a little clothing, a little prasada (prasada is God's mercy, food offered to God), and a place to rest. High thought means thinking of the representative of God or Krishna Srila Prabhupada, in all the acharyas or spiritual masters of the guru-parampara, in the Pañca Tattva and in Sri Radha Krishna, it also means thinking of doing good to others, sending positive messages for people to reflect and try to raise their states of consciousness, it also means giving prasada to others, in the Food for Life program of Vrindavana in India and in other parts of the world, millions and millions of prasada dishes have been given . That is pure spiritual life. Material life is the opposite, it means to live to satisfy the body and the mind, and is based on selfishness and mine and not giving any food to the soul, never thinking about God or doing good to others, rather always think how to deceive others and the law of the funnel, how wide for me and how narrow for others.
Now in the whole world we are celebrating the advent of the Saktyavesa Avatara Jesus Christ, it would be good if we remembered the essence of his teachings: "Love God above all things and your neighbor as yourself, do not do to others what you would not like that they did to you, and do to others what you would like them to do to you, if you have two blankets and you see that another does not have any, give him a blanket and share what you have with the others, that way you will get rid of envy and selfishness, he also spoke of the fact that there is a Kingdom of God and that the goal of life is to return to the Kingdom of God. " Regarding Christians, Srila Prabhupada said that if Christians worship the Deities and obey the commandment of Jesus Christ not to kill, they would become devotees of God or Krishna.
Sing the Maha-mantra: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare and be happy.
Serve Srila Prabhupada with love, faith, attachment and gratitude and your life will be successful and sublime.
