Hare Krishna, my intention and attitude in sending you this message, is that Srila Prabhupada wanted us to transmit his teachings to everyone, without wanting anything in return.
My three friends, by Haripada dasa
Srila Prabhupada's Gurudeva named Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada always said that in this world of maya, which is contrary to God or Krishna, full of trials and tribulations, only patience, humility and respect for others are our friends to glorify to God or Krishna and His devotees. On patience Srila Prabhupada says in verse 3 of the nectar of instruction that one must carry out the activities of Krishna consciousness with patience. One should not be impatient in following the process of Krishna consciousness. This movement of Krishna consciousness, in effect, was started without any help, and at first there was no welcome, but because we continued to execute our devotional activities with patience, people gradually began to understand the importance of this movement, and now is participating with vehemence. One should not be impatient when performing devotional service, but receive instructions from the lips of the spiritual master and execute them with patience, and depend on the mercy of the guru and Krishna. On humility Srila Prabhupada says in The Bhagavad-gita, chapter 13, 8-12, that humility means that one should not be anxious to have the satisfaction of being honored by others. The material concept of life makes one very eager to receive honor from others, but from the point of view of a man who has perfect knowledge-someone who knows that this body is not-, anything, honor or Dishonor, belonging to this body, is useless. One should not be longing for that material illusion. People are very anxious to be famous for their religion, and, consequently, it is sometimes observed that, without understanding the principles of religion, one enters a group that is in fact not following religious principles, and then wants to advertise to himself as a religious mentor. As far as true advancement in spiritual science is concerned, one must have an examination to see how much is progressing. You can judge by these factors.
And on respect for others, Srila Prabhupada says in the prologue to the teachings of Lord Chaitanya, that He declared that partisan feelings and sectarianism were the two great enemies of spiritual progress, and it is also said in verse 9 of the chapter 6 of the Bhagavad Gita that a person is even more advanced when he considers everyone - the honest well-wisher, friends and enemies, the envious, the pious, the sinner and those who are indifferent and impartial - with a fair mind. Srila Prabhupada taught us to love our enemies.
