Worldly Religion and Eternal Religion

Worldly Religion and Eternal Religion, by Haripada dasa
It is very interesting that the Bhagavatam maintains in its first pages its own uniqueness: dharmah projjhita-kaitavo `tra," All supposed religiosity covered by fruitive intentions is here completely rejected. " (S.B. 1, 1, 2) Fruitive intentions take the form of Kama (complacency of gross and subtle senses), artha (economic development), dharma (worldly or sectarian religiosity), and even moksa (liberation). These four goals are described as materialistic practices, and contaminate every attempt at true religion.
The motivating force behind each of them is the increase in sensual satisfaction. For example, an ordinary man may practice religiosity (dharma) because he actually seeks wealth (artha). Understanding that there is a Supreme Controller, he seeks to plead with his "god" and, thus, reaches his goal. This practice, by the way, is often misleading, and a person absorbed in this type of motivated religiosity mistakenly believes himself to be a serious practitioner of the spiritual life.
In reflecting, however, it becomes evident that such a religious is actually a materialist, since all his practice is directed towards the wrong end: the acquisition of wealth. Why do you want riches, for the sake of kama, or sense gratification, a goal that is directly contrary to religious principles. Moreover, when someone gets tired of this whole business, they look for moksa, or liberation.
Unfortunately, true liberation could not be further from an individual so deceived, since he has completely missed the purpose of spiritual practice. Although many fall prey to this mentality, the Bhagavatam urges its readers to go beyond this situation, and beyond the material illusions that trap even the well-intentioned, the student of the Bhagavatam must abandon all worldly goals and strive for achieving total purity.
If one desires a lower goal, one must approach a lower writing. That is why Srila Prabhupada says in the Chaitanya Charitamrita, adi-lila, 17, 169 that the Old and New Testament and the Koran is for meat eaters, and they are not eternal writings. Bhagavatam is for those who are serious in regard to the ultimate goal of life: love for God.
The first thing that eternal religion teaches you is that we are not the temporal material body, but eternal spiritual souls, in understanding and accepting this point it is natural for the person to be more interested in eternal relationships than in temporal ones, temporal relationships are with Family, society, friendships and worldly love, and eternal relationships means with God or Krishna and with His devotees.
The result of practicing eternal religion is that one knows God and loves him, and since there is only God or Krishna and His energies will naturally love everyone and everything.

Lord Risabadeva

Lord Risabadeva, by Haripada dasa
In the Gita, 9, 11, Krishna says that fools make fun of Me when I descend in human form. They do not know My transcendental nature as Supreme Lord of all that exists.
In relation to this verse of the Gita, in the Bhagavatam there is the story of Lord Risabadeva, who is an incarnation of God or Krishna, there in 5, 5, 30 it is said that Ṛiṣabhadeva began to travel through cities, villages, mining regions, fields, valleys, gardens, military camps, grazing lands, cowboy cabins, mountains, forests, lodges for travelers and hermitages. Everywhere, wherever he went, he was harassed by all kinds of ruinous people, who surrounded him like the flies that fly around the body of an elephant that leaves the forest. Wherever he went, they threatened him, beat him, urinated on him and spit on him. Sometimes people threw stones, excrement and dirt at them, and sometimes they ventured before Him. In that way, people insulted Him with bad words, and caused him great difficulties; but He did not worry about it, for he understood that the body has no other destiny. He was absorbed on the spiritual plane, and from His glorious spiritual position, He did not care about all those material insults. In other words, I understood perfectly that matter and spirit are different, and I had no bodily concept. Thus, without getting irritated with anyone, he walked alone around the world.
Before discarding Srila Prabupada he was being poisoned, you just have to imagine that God or Krishna and His representatives do all those things, that they will do to us, that's why Srila Prabhupada always said that preaching Krishna consciousness is nothing easy, and that all the chaos in the world now is because there are no devotees of God or Krishna, that is the only crisis.

Bharata Varsa or India

Bharata Varsa or India, by Haripada dasa
Formerly India was called Bharata Varsa, in honor of the great Holy King Bharatha Maharaja, in the 18th chapter of the Nectar of devotion the great Holy King is glorified.
There is a good example of this detachment in relation to the character of King Bharata. In the Fifth Canto, Chapter 14, verse 43, of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam it is said: "Emperor Bharata was so attracted to the beauty of the lotus feet of Kṛiṣhṇa that even in his youth life he abandoned all kinds of family attachments , children, friends, kingdom, etc., as if they were untouchable feces. ”
I remember a walk of Srila Prabhupada that said that this planet Earth is very good for spiritual atorrealization, and that the best place for spiritual life is India, and the best of India is Bengal, there is a saying that says what it is done in Bengal, all of India does it, and this is because Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu appeared over 500 years ago. He is Krishna himself playing the role of Krishna's devotee, to teach us all to be Krishna's devotees.
The entire spiritual culture of India was shattered by caste brahmanas, they invented that no one can be a brahmana if one is not born in a brahmana family, Srila Prabhupada and the whole guru parallax shattered this invented idea, in the sastras or Scriptures it is said that if one is brahmana but not a devotee of Krishna, he is the lowest of mankind, and if one is born in a family of dogs, but becomes a devotee of Krishna, he is the most glorified and fortunate person.

Positive messages

Positive messages, by Haripada dasa
Positive Messages means messages that make you reflect and elevate your state of consciousness to a higher state. Eating, sleeping, fearing and mating are the basic activities of all living entities, the human way of life has the ability to understand who I am, who is God or Krishna, what is my relationship with God or Krishna and with everything, that It is this material manifestation, which is time, which is karma or activities and where I will go after death.
The other day my older brother Paco told me that Javier, the best thing you have is that you are always in the company of good people. My attitude to send these messages is healthy, my only intention is to share experiences, I would have liked people to respond more to these messages, but I understand that most people work very hard to stay and do not have time to respond to messages. I have received all the mercy of my spiritual master Srila Prabhupada and it is my duty to share my experiences with others, that helps me a lot to not be selfish or envious.
Srila Prabhupada says in his books that in the spiritual life the most important thing is attitude, and in the introduction of the Nectar of Devotion he says that the author of Bhakti-rasāmṛita-sindhu, Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī, states very humbly that he is only trying to spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness throughout the world, although humbly is considered unsuitable for this work. That should be the attitude of all the preachers of the Kṛiṣhṇa consciousness movement, following in the footsteps of Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī. We should never think that we ourselves are great preachers, but we should always consider that we are simply instruments of the previous āchāryas, and simply by following in their steps we may be able to do something for the benefit of suffering humanity.

Anxiety

Anxiety, by Haripada dasa

We have physical illnesses such as influenza and others and there are also mental illnesses such as insanity and others and there are also diseases of the soul such as anxiety and others. There was a great spiritual master who belongs to our disciplic succession called Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, he was a Judge of the High Court, he made many judgments every day and the verdicts were perfect and amazing, the English judges of his day were very attracted to this great pure personality or devotee of God or Krishna, once they asked him how it was possible that we make several judgments every day and you make four times more judgments than us and your verdicts are always perfect, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura replied that I make the judgments as quickly as possible because I feel a lot of compassion to see that the defendant is anxious to know the verdict.

 That is the difference between a pure devotee of God or Krishna and a materialistic and atheistic person, the pure devotee of God or Krishna suffers when he sees others suffer and is happy when he sees others happy in the consciousness of God or Krishna, his Attitude in life is that all he does is to please God or Krishna and His devotees, and the materialistic and atheistic person suffers when he sees others happy in the consciousness of God or Krishna, and is very happy when he sees others suffer, his attitude in life is the law of the funnel, the wide for me and the narrow for others, lives in the concept of me and mine, pure selfishness.

From the President of the Government who has a head full of political problems to the simple sweeper, everyone lives full of anxiety. The question that arises is: What is the cause of anxiety? This is very well explained by my spiritual master in the meaning of the Maha-mantra Hare Krishna, there it says that we are parts and portions of God, that means we are superior energy of God, and when we come into contact with the lower or material energy, the situation is incompatible, but when we come into contact with the higher energy, called Hara or Radharani, the living entity is established in its normal happy condition.

In other words, the process of the consciousness of God or Krishna is a practice of devotional activities that transfer us from the material world to the spiritual world that is our true home, that is called returning home to return to God.

We would all like to have a free life and be happy, but that is not so easy, people generally think that happiness is in the sense gratification, but we see in practice that in countries where there is more opulence for sense gratification there are more suicides. We are not the temporary material body, but eternal spiritual souls, eternal loving servants of God or Krishna and His devotees, when we act in that consciousness there is eternal happiness and one lives without anxiety.

Thought to meditate:

"The slaughter of animals in slaughterhouses, bullfights, hunting and fishing, all these are acts of hatred and envy towards innocent animals."

share the meaning of Pañcha Tattva and Maha-mantra Hare Krishna

 share the meaning of Pañcha Tattva and Maha-mantra Hare Krishna
Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is always accompanied by His plenary expansion Sri Nityananda Prabhu, His incarnation Sri Advaita Prabhu, His internal potency Sri Gadadhara Prabhu, and His marginal potency Srivasa Prabhu. He is in their midst as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It is necessary to know that Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is always accompanied by these other tattvas. Therefore, our obeisances to Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu are complete when we say: sri-krishna-chaitanya prabhu nityananda sri-advaita gadadhara srivasadi-gaura-bhakta-vrnda. As preachers of the Krishna consciousness movement we must first offer our obeisances to Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu singing this Pañcha-tattva mantra; then we say Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. When singing the Hare Krishna maha-mantra we can commit ten offenses, which are not taken into account when the Pañcha-tattva mantra is sung, that is, sri-krishna-chaitanya prabhu nityananda sri-advaita gadadhara srivasadi-gaura-bhakta-vrnda. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is known as maha-vadanyavatara, the most magnanimous incarnation, for He never takes into account the offenses of fallen souls. So, to derive the full benefit of the chanting of the maha-mantra (Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare), we first have to take refuge in Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, learn the mantra of Pañcha-tattva and, then, chant the maha-mantra Hare Krishna. That will be very effective.
Hare Krishna Maha-mantra HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE / HARE HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE
MEANING by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
The transcendental vibration that is established by singing Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare is the sublime method of reviving our Krishna consciousness. As spiritual souls, we are all Krishna conscious entities, but the relationship we have since time immemorial with matter has contaminated our consciousness with the material atmosphere. This atmosphere, in which we now live, is called maya, or illusion. Maya means "what is not." And what is illusion? The illusion is that we try to be the lords of material nature, when the reality is that we are subject by the shackles of their strict laws. When a servant tries to artificially imitate his almighty master, that is called illusion. Contaminated by this concept of life, we all try to exploit the resources of material nature, but the reality is that we become increasingly entangled in its complexities. Therefore, despite our arduous struggle to conquer nature, we depend more on it. This illusory struggle against material nature can be stopped immediately if we revive our Krishna consciousness.
Krishna consciousness cultivation is not an artificial imposition that is made on the mind; This consciousness is the original energy of the living entity, which comes alive when we hear the transcendental vibration. And this is the process recommended by the authorities for this era. Also, direct experience allows us to perceive that the song of this maha-mantra, this Great Song for Liberation, can make us feel an immediate transcendental ecstasy that comes from the spiritual plane. And when in fact we are at the level of spiritual understanding, having exceeded the levels of the senses, the mind and the intelligence, we are at the transcendental level. This song of Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare emanates directly from the spiritual plane and this is how this sound vibration overcomes all lower strata of consciousness, that is, the Sensual, mental and intellectual. There is no need, therefore, to understand the language of the mantra, nor do you need mental speculations, or intellectual adjustments of any kind to sing this maha-mantra. The song automatically springs from the spiritual plane, and therefore anyone can participate in it without any previous qualification, and dance with ecstasy. We have seen this in practice. Even a child can participate in the song; Even a dog can do it. Of course, the one who is too entangled in material life takes a little more time to reach the required level, but even man immersed in gross material activities can rise very quickly to the spiritual plane. When a pure devotee of the Lord sings it lovingly, the mantra has maximum efficiency in the listeners; thus, it must be heard from the lips of a pure devotee of the Lord, so that its effects can be obtained immediately. As far as possible, singing from the lips of non-devotees should be avoided. Milk touched by the lips of a snake has poisonous effects.
The word Hara is the way to address the energy of the Lord, and the words Krishna and Rama are ways of addressing the Lord in person. Both Krishna and Rama mean "the supreme pleasure", and Hara is the supreme pleasure energy of the Lord, which in the vocative becomes Hare. The supreme energy of pleasure of the Lord helps us to reach the Lord. Material energy, called maya, is also one of the multiple energies of the Lord. And we, the living entities, are the energy - marginal energy - of the Lord. It is known that living entities are superior to material energy. When the higher energy comes into contact with the lower energy, the situation is incompatible; but when the superior marginal energy comes into contact with the superior energy, called Hara, the living entity is established in its happy normal condition.
These three words, that is, Hare, Krishna and Rama, are the transcendental seeds of maha-mantra. Singing is a spiritual call to the Lord and His inner energy, Hara, to protect the conditioned soul. This song is exactly like the genuine crying of the child for his mother. Mother Hara helps the devotee to obtain the grace of the Supreme Father, Hari or Krishna, and the Lord is revealed to the devotee who sings this mantra sincerely. Therefore, there is no other means of spiritual enlightenment in this age as effective as the chanting of the maha-mantra: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.

Climate change

Climate change, by Haripada dasa
I share that today the international summit on climate change begins in Madrid, it will last 14 days, several thousand people will come from all over the world and more than 50 presidents of governments, they will address the issue on many points of view, but surely that will not deal with the subject from the spiritual point of view.
I will try to address the issue from the spiritual point of view, in the Bhagavatam we have the information that when Mother Earth was ruled by Holy Kings, by the influence of these Holy Kings all people were devotees of God or Krishna, and all naturally they obeyed the laws of God, the result of this is that Mother Earth was very happy and gave all her opulences, it was neither cold nor excessive heat, the cows gave a lot of milk, the trees gave a lot of fruit, and all the World was free and happy.
Now we are in Kali yuga, in this era there are many arguments, many sins are made, there is much hypocrisy, people fight for nothing, there is much atheism, impersonalism, materialism and when people see others suffer they are very happy, the The result of this is that people are very strange, envious, selfish and very dangerous. When people are like this, Mother Earth punishes them in the form of climatic changes, floods, earthquakes, etc.
Srila Prabhupada always said that the cause of global chaos is that there are no devotees of God or Krishna, a person is known for his qualities, the devotees of God or Krishna always live happily in consciousness of God or Krishna and are free, ( The Truth will set you free) and they are kind, tolerant, friendly to everyone, always respect everyone and never want to be respected, are truthful, pure in heart, conquer hunger, thirst, lamentation, envy and old age They do not deceive themselves or others, they are happy when they see others happy in the conscience of God or Krishna and suffer when they see others suffer and have as their best friends God or Krishna and His representatives.
At no time do they forget God or Krishna and His devotees, at all times of life they feel the protection of God or Krishna and His devotees. They live free from fear because their future is very bright and they know they will go back home to God or Krishna. God or Krishna empowers them to turn bad people into good people. They use their selfishness to go back home to God or Krishna. They don't envy anyone because they live full of peace and satisfaction. They know God or Krishna and they love him and as there is only God or Krishna and His energies naturally love everyone and everything.

That nobody controls you

That nobody controls you, by Haripada dasa
I share that when I left Iskcon in 2008 I prayed to Srila Prabhupada and Krishna that please bless me so that if I feel that someone wants to control me that they immediately break the relationship with that person, I want to live free and happy in Krishna consciousness, and by the grace of Srila Prabhupada and Krishna has been like that, I have had to break relationships with people who pretended to be friends, but from behind they criticized me and wanted to control me, now by the grace of Srila Prabhupada and from Krishna I feel free and happy in Krishna consciousness.
I'm going to tell a very interesting story, after Srila Prabhupada entered his samadhi lila, Tamal Krishna invented that no one can go to Srila Prabhupada unless he receives my mercy, the other gurus thought that if this invention of Tamal Krishna succeeds we will not We will have disciples, so all the gurus stayed with Tamal Krishna to talk to him in Los Angeles at Nrisimhananda's house.
There Tamal Krishna said that in reality Srila Prabhupada did not leave anyone as a guru, but ordered us to initiate people in the name of Srila Prabhupada, in an artificial way we have become gurus because we have the desire to control the People, that statement did not like anyone and they said that we are all gurus here, we are going to break all the tapes that have recorded this conversation, but a devotee kept the tape without anyone noticing and that is why these things are known.
So the desire to control others is very strong in this world, I heard that in USA Obama wanted to put a chip to all US citizens to control them, thanks to the Evangelists who leaned on the Bible saying that what he wants to do Obama is the mark of the devil and that is prophesied in the Bible, and that stopped that idea.
It is not the same to be controlled by a person full of lust, greed and anger than to be controlled by Srila Prabhupada and Krishna, the control of Srila Prabhupada and Krishna is full of pure goodness and transcendental love, that control is very pleasant, one He feels that it is an instrument in His hands, and all that one does is full of pure goodness and transcendental love, there is no false ego and one acts in his constitutional position as the eternal servant of Krishna and His devotees.

The three kinds of happiness

The three kinds of happiness, by Haripada dasa
This information is in the Nectar of Devotion, chapter 1:
Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī has analyzed the different sources of happiness. He has divided happiness into three categories, which are: 1) happiness derived from material enjoyment, 2) happiness derived from identifying with the Supreme Brahman and 3) happiness derived from Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
In Tantra-śāstra, Lord Śiva speaks to his wife, Satī, in this way: "My dear wife, a person who has surrendered to the lotus feet of Govinda and who has developed Kṛṣṇa's pure consciousness, can receive easily all the perfections desired by the impersonalists; and beyond this, he can enjoy the happiness attained by pure devotees. "
Happiness derived from pure devotional service is the highest because it is eternal. But the happiness derived from material perfection or from being understood as Brahman is inferior because it is temporary. There is no way to prevent one from falling from material happiness, and there is even every chance of falling from spiritual happiness derived from identifying with the impersonal Brahman.
And in the Bhagavad-Gita, 18, 37 to 39 it is said that what at first may be like a poison but that in the end is like a nectar, and that awakens one in self-realization, is said to be happiness in the plane of the mode of goodness. The happiness that comes from the contact of the senses with their objects, and that at first seems to be a nectar but in the end seems to be poison, is said to be of the nature of passion. And the happiness that ignores self-realization, which is a hoax from beginning to end, and that comes from sleep, laziness and illusion, it is said to be of the nature of ignorance.
Please sing the Maha-Mantra Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, and be happy.

Patience, humility and respect

Patience, humility and respect, by Haripada dasa
Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada always said that in this world of ignorance, which is contrary to serving God or Krishna, full of trials and tribulations, only patience, humility and respect for others are our friends to do devotional service to God or Krishna and His representatives.
About patience I am very clear that only people who live in the mode of goodness can have it, people who live in the modes of passion and ignorance cannot be patient. Srila Prabhupada also speaks of this quality in the Nectar of Instruction, verse 3.
On humility, Srila Prabhupada says the Gita, 13, 8 that humility means that one should not be anxious to have the satisfaction of being honored by others. Another point is that although one can do wonderful things to please God or Krishna and Srila Prabhupada, one understands that this is all pure mercy of God or Krishna and Srila Prabhupada.
About respect there is a very beautiful verse in the Bhagavatam, 5, 5, 26, this verse was spoken by the incarnation of Krishna called Risabadeva to his children, there he says that dear children of mine, you should not be envious of any living entity, nor mobile Not even. Knowing that I am in them, they should offer respect to all at all times. In that way, you will offer Me respect.

Simple life and high thinking

Simple life and high thinking, by Haripada dasa
 By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada we understand and accept that by leading a simple life with high thoughts we are happy in this material world and we are preparing to go back home to God.
 Simple life means that we need some clothes, a little prasada (prasada is the mercy of God, food offered to God), and a place to rest.
High thinking means to think God or Krishna and in the representative of God or Krishna Srila Prabhupada, and in all the acharyas or spiritual masters of the guru-parampara, in the Pañca Tattva and in Sri Radha Krishna, it also means thinking in doing good to the In addition, sending positive messages for people to reflect and try to raise their states of consciousness, it also means giving prasada to others, in the Vrindavana Food for Life program in India and in other parts of the world, millions have been given and millions of dishes of prasada.
That is pure spiritual life. Material life is the opposite, it means living to satisfy the body and mind, and it is based on selfishness, me and mine and not giving any food to the soul, never thinking about God or doing good to others, rather Always think of how to deceive others and the funnel law, how wide for me and narrow for others.
 Soon in the whole world we will celebrate the advent of the Saktyavesa Avatara Jesus Christ, it would be good to remember the essence of his teachings: "Love God above all things and your neighbor as yourself, do not do to others what you do not I would like them to do 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 others, so you will free yourself from the envies and selfishness, also spoke that there is a Kingdom of God and that the goal of life is to return to the Kingdom of God. "
In relation to Christians, Srila Prabhupada said that if Christians worshiped the Deities and obeyed Jesus Christ's command not to kill, they would become devotees of God or Krishna.

The Cathars

The Cathars, by Haripada dasa
If you put on Google the history of the Cathars is very interesting, the Cathars lived in the middle ages on farms, in the South of France and were vegetarians and had a lot of love and devotion for Jesus Christ, they practiced simple life with high thoughts.
When the Catholic religion learned that the Cathars were influencing all of Europe, they killed them all.
In this material world there is nothing new under the I Am and history repeats itself again and again, God or Krishna moved by His great mercy comes to this material world to invite us to return to the spiritual world and also sends His representatives to do what same, but very few people take advantage of this mercy.
And when God or Krishna and His representatives leave, demonic people destroy everything these people have done.
Srila Prabhupada came and the demonic people have destroyed his movement, thanks to Srila Prabhupada and Krishna that there are still serious and sincere people who are accustomed to depend on the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and Krishna, and who with their personal example preach the conscience of Pure Krishna
It is very interesting what Srila Prabhupada says in the Bhagavatam, 9, 24, 59. There he says that if they act like this it is because they are vimūḍhas, scoundrels. For an ephemeral happiness, people waste their human energy, and instead of understanding the importance of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, they accuse the simple devotees of brainwashing. Demons can throw false accusations against those of us who preach the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, but Kṛṣṇa will cause them to engage in a war in which both sides use all their military power and destroy themselves.
And Srila Prabhupada also said that after the war people will realize that materialism and atheism is not good and they will feel more interested in hearing about Krishna consciousness.

My mind is already Vrindavana

My mind is already Vrindavana
I share this very ecstatic verse from Chaitanya Charitamrita, Madhya 13,137
TEXT 137
anyera hṛda ya-mana, mora mana-vṛndāvana,
'mane' 'vane' eka kari' jāni
tāhāṅ tomāra pada-dvaya, karāha yadi udaya,
tabe tomāra pūrṇa kṛpā māni
SYNONYMS
anyera—of others; hṛdaya—consciousness; mana—mind; mora mana—My mind; vṛndāvana—Vṛndāvana consciousness; mane—with the mind; vane—with Vṛndāvana; eka kari'-as one and the same; jāni—I know; tāhāṅ—there, at Vṛndāvana; tomāra—Your; pada-dvaya—two lotus feet; karāha—You do; yadi—if; udaya—appearance; tabe—then; tomāra—Your; pūrṇa—complete; kṛpā—mercy; māni—I accept.
TRANSLATION
Speaking in the mood of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, Caitanya Mahāprabhu said, " 'For most people, the mind and heart are one, but because My mind is never separated from Vṛndāvana, I consider My mind and Vṛndāvana to be one. My mind is already Vṛndāvana, and since You like Vṛndāvana, will You please place Your lotus feet there? I would deem that Your full mercy.
PURPORT
Only when the mind is free from designations can one desire the association of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The mind must have some occupation. If a person is to be free of material things, his mind cannot be vacant; there must be subject matters for thinking, feeling and willing. Unless one's mind is filled with thoughts of Kṛṣṇa, feelings for Kṛṣṇa and a desire to serve Kṛṣṇa, the mind will be filled with material activities. Those who have given up all material activities and have ceased thinking of them should always retain the ambition to think of Kṛṣṇa. Without Kṛṣṇa, one cannot live, just as a person cannot live without some enjoyment for his mind.
Link to this page: https://prabhupadabooks.com/cc/madhya/13/137
I share this song by Srila Narottama Thakura entitled Lalasamayi Prarthana, there it says that as long as the mind is too absorbed in materialistic thoughts, one cannot enter the kingdom of Vrindavana. But Narottama dasa Thakura says visaya chadiya kabe suddha ha'be mana kabe hama herabo sri-vrindavana: “When my mind has been completely purified, freeing itself from material anxieties and desires, I will be able to understand Vrindavana and the conjugal love of Radha and Krishna ; Then, my spiritual life will know success.

Hare Krishna

Hare Krishna, I am sending you a message sent to me here, do you know that person? Every day you understand people less, finding a balanced person today is so difficult, that is why I always say that my best friends in consciousness Krishna's are those who share with me the teachings of Srila Prabhupada.
We must not be sentimental or fanatical, when someone sends us something strange we must respond right away, I will give 3 examples of this.
1- Hamsaduta sent me a message that talked about an economics blog, my big mistake was not telling him what this has to do with Srila Prabhupada and Krishna consciousness, 2- another sent me a message saying Hitler was a saktyavesa avatara, I also made the mistake of not telling him that where Srila Prabhupada says that, and 3 there I answered, someone sent me a message saying if I thought Srila Prabhupada was a fake guru, that message felt very bad and I replied that Give me your address from the asylum where you are admitted and I will send you maha-prasada from Jagannatha Puri to see if your madness is cured.
The point here is that we are in the era of hypocrisy and quarrel, I always try to act in a very personal and fearless way, because I have nothing to lose, many people have sent my devotional life, so they know me , there I say that if you want you can send me your devotional life so that I know you, the majority did not answer anything, that means that the person is thinking that who you are to know me, pride.
Another very important point is that there are people who glorify you, I have come to the conclusion that they are not glorifying you, but that they are making fun of you, so Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada always said that he who glorifies me is my enemy.
And that is why we are not united, because there is no humility, mercy, patience or respect.

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.

An interesting story

An interesting story, by Haripada dasa
Hare Krishna, with love and confidence I share the story of the devotee who introduced me to Krishna consciousness, in the summer of 1984 there were 3 Krishna devotees to distribute books in my village, I went with my motorcycle and Devarshi prabhu stopped me and He offered me a Bhagavad gita and a Bhagavan tape, we were talking for half an hour, I gave him a donation of everything he carries, like 30 dollars, and I had the feeling that this person is as if I had known him for a lifetime It was a very spontaneous relationship, as if we were old friends, I read the Gita and I liked it a lot and in October of the same year I entered the Nueva Vrajamandala estate, Devarshi prabhu, he became a devotee in Barcelona, ​​Spain, in 1979 He was a devotee by nature, he liked Krishna's conscience very much, his father was like Hiranyakasipu, a first-class atheist, and when he learned that his son became Hare Krishna he went crazy, his father held a high position in the Spanish army, and He and another woman who also made his son Hare Krishna bought some bodyguards to kidnap them both, kidnapped them both and took them to a house in the Swiss Alps, there and to break the regulatory principles they took prostitutes very beautiful, very opulent food, etc., the other immediately broke the principles, but Devarshi in a miraculous way could escape from the house and left.
Then he appeared again in Barcelona, ​​and the devotees told him to leave Pujari to the Nueva Vramandala estate, there his father again attacked him and claiming that his son was crazy put him in an asylum, the doctors analyzed him and concluded that Devarshi was a very healthy person and left, then he went to Mayapur, Bengal, India, he lived there almost 30 years, his father regretted his behavior and went to see him in Mayapur several times, there Devarshi lived in a cabin in the gurukula, he became very expert in making fires of sacrifices, mantras, astrology, etc., he always said that my astrology guru was Nanili Kantha prabhu, he said he was the best astrologer in the world, he left the tuberculosis body in December 2011, for all it was a mystery why he let his health deteriorate so much, he stayed in the bones, he wrote me a message in the summer of 2011 and told me that Haripada this is full of demons, and I told him to do com or I, who left Iskcon not to be complicit in all the injustices and offenses they were doing to Srila Prabhupada, Devarshi was humility personified, although his father made his life impossible, before leaving his body he wrote a letter to his family and told them to please forgive me for all my offenses and for all the disturbances that I have caused them. As I said in the previous message, Vaisnava's behavior establishes the principles of religion.
Once Brahmananda told me in Vrindavana that Srila Prabhupada had told him that Krishna consciousness is beyond an institution, the great Acharyas establish institutions so that Krishna consciousness expands in an organized way, in SB 4, 28, 48 it is said that when the Acharya comes he establishes the principles of religion, but when he leaves he becomes disorder and thieves, bandits and opportunists take advantage of the situation, that has happened in Gaudiya Matha and in iskcon, we must be intelligent and not fall into their mistakes, if we all obey Srila Prabhupada's instruction to follow the example of Jayananda prabhu, we will all go back home back to Goloka Vrindavana.
No one can preach Krishna consciousness in an artificial way or by making arrangements or material tricks, that is not possible, the only person who can make devotees is the person full of mercy and love for Srila Prabhupada and for Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead .

Srila Prabhupada is here

Srila Prabhupada is here, by Haripada dasa
Bhaktivinoda Thakura wrote the magnificent stanza in glorification of Srila Haridasa Thakura, who says that it is wrong who says that Vaisnavas or pure devotees of God or Krishna die when their art still lives in sound, Vaisnavas die to live, and in doing so, They try to spread the Holy Name everywhere. Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada always said that a pure devotee of God or Krishna is one who is beyond the influence of gold, women and the tigress of fame ... Such a person is detached and pure ... Such a person can defeat the ignorance of the whole world. Srila Prabhupada is here, he is in his pranam mantra, in his Deities, in his books, in his DVDs, in his classes, and in the heart of his serious and sincere followers who obey all his instructions, only the people who have practiced the Krishna consciousness in a serious and sincere manner like Jayananda prabhu, can feel in your life the presence of Srila Prabhupada. I sent more than 70 people the message entitled the perfect disciple, glorifying Jayananda prabhu, nobody has answered me, thank you prabhu for reminding us of Srila Prabhupada's instruction that we should follow the example of Jayananda prabhu, I have come to the conclusion of that the inhabitants of kali yuga live full of envy, selfishness, hypocrisy and we have a tendency to fight very hard, we all understand and accept that in order to purify ourselves of these 4 contamination we must sing the 16 rounds without offenses of the Maha Mantra Hare Krishna, we must all follow the 4 regulatory principles very strictly, 1, do not eat meat, fish or eggs, 2, no illicit sex, only sex is allowed to procreate and with one's wife, 3, not gambling, and 4, do not take tea, coffee, alcohol, drugs, etc., we must all sing the three daily gayatris, we must all follow the Ekadasis, the month Purusottama, the Chaturmasya, Kartika Vrata, the apparitions and disappearances of l Supreme Lord and His devotees, we must all celebrate the Jhulana Yatra or the Swing Festival, We must all avoid bad association and always be happy and eager to associate with the serious and sincere devotees of Srila Prabhupada, we must always carry the tilaka marks on the body, we must always have Srila Prabhupada at the center of our lives and help people to put Srila Prabhupada at the center of their lives and every day we must read Srila Prabhupada's books in the morning and evening, we should only eat Krishna prasada, food offered to Srila Prabhupada, Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu and Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. We must all obey the instructions given by Srila Prabhupada in his books on how we should use our hard earned wealth, Srila Prabhupada sets the example of Srila Rupa Goswami, when he retired from service to the Muslim government and surrendered to the lotus feet of Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu divided his wealth into three parts. 1-50 percent gave it to the Brahmanas and Vaisnavas, 25 percent for their relatives and the other 25 percent for personal emergencies, by practicing this a transcendental atmosphere is created and selfishness is destroyed. No one should speculate, we understand and accept that a person is speculating, when he does things in a capricious manner without relying on the Guru, Sadhu and Sastra. If a person does not practice the aforementioned, he can already make the point that I am from Iskcon, Prabhupadanugas, Ritviks, an activist against the changes of Srila Prabhupada's books, you can wear a million seats, you will continue full of envy, selfishness, hypocrisy and the tendency to fight with others, have you now understood what Krishna consciousness is?

The behavior of the devotee

The behavior of the devotee, by Haripada dasa
Hare Krishna, with love and confidence I share one of my favorite verses of Chaitanya Charitamrita, Madhya lila, 17, 185, there it is said that “The behavior of the devotee establishes the true purpose of religious principles. The behavior of Mādhavendra Purī Gosvāmī is the essence of these religious principles. ”Then Mādhavendra Purī Gosvāmī thought that the Gopinatha Deity has stolen a pot of condensed milk for me, and people will think that I am a devotee of Krishna, but I I am not a devotee of Krishna and he left. Then we have the story of Jada Bharata of the Bhagavatam, he was forced to carry the King's palanquin, but since he did not want to kill the ants on the road, he carried the palanquin badly, and King Rahugana got angry with him and began to insult him, Jada Bharata He ignored the insults but gave his mercy to the King by giving him spiritual instructions, and when the King realized that he was a pure devotee of Krishna he got off the palanquin and gave obeisances and spoke this verse that they put one The creeps, the King said that I do not fear the lightning of Indra, nor the trident of Lord Siva, etc., I only fear offending a devotee of Krishna. Then also of the Bhagavatam we have the story of Durvasa muni that without any reason offended King Maharaja Ambarisa, and as a punishment for this offense Krishna sent him his Sudarsana Chakra, and Maharaja Ambarisa prayed to Krishna not to punish him, seeing this Durvasa muni said that now I have understood who Krishna's devotees are, I have offended you and you have instead prayed for my good fortune. And in Srinivasa Acharya's prayers to the 6 gosvamis of Vrindavana in verse 1 he says that they are like an ocean of love for God, and they enjoy good fame both among good people and among outlaws, for they are not envious of anyone . They please everyone with everything they do, and they have all the blessings of Lord Chaitanya, so they engage in missionary activities designed to free all the conditioned souls of the material universe. Once a neighbor of my mother became very angry with her, to the point that she punched him, my mother as a good Christian turned her other cheek, the neighbor seeing my mother's attitude, threw herself at her feet and she apologized, my mother picked her up and hugged her, and then they were very good friends.
As I understand it, the most important thing about a devotee is his behavior, as it is said in the Harinama Chintamani that a true devotee is not known because he has a pleasant appearance, many followers, fame, etc., the symptom of a true devotee is that he has a great attachment to chanting the Maha-mantra Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, that is my conclusion. Another point is that the oldest disciples of Srila Prabhupada who had very good experiences with Srila Prabhupada in their physical or vapu form, shared their experiences with Srila Prabhupada with the whole world, let's not forget that Srila Prabhupada told Yamuna devi dasi that if You don't share what you know, you will become envious.

The perfect disciple

The perfect disciple, by Haripada dasa
Hare Krishna, as I understand it, the association of devotees means helping each other to obey Srila Prabhupada's instructions, and so we will all go back home, back to God, one of Srila Prabhupada's instructions is that all We must follow the example of Jayananda Prabhu, I take this opportunity to thank Mahatma Prabhu for showing me the glories and transcendental qualities of Jayananda Prabhu, this great devotee is the example of the perfect disciple of Srila Prabhupada, this great devotee will be a great inspiration For future generations of Srila Prabhupada and Krishna's devotees, as I understand it, the essence of this great soul is that all he did was to make Srila Prabhupada happy, and he never did anything to dislike Srila Prabhupada, he didn't I was a politician, I like him, he is my friend, I like him, he is my enemy, he was humble, tolerant and the friend of the whole world, and he never criticized anyone, Srila Prabhupad He said that I am very proud to have had a disciple as good as Jayananda prabhu, everyone should follow his example, this great devotee enjoyed serving Srila Prabhupada and Krishna and everyone, and that is the perfection of Krishna consciousness, that It can only be done when one has awakened his great love for Srila Prabhupada and for Krishna. As I understand it, only people who have sacrificed their lives to make Srila Prabhupada happy can receive Krishna's mercy, if you want to watch a video about Jayananda Prabhu this is the link:

With love and confidence I share this verse from CC Madhya 1.218
dui jane prabhura kṛpā dekhi ’bhakta-gaṇe
‘Hari’ ‘hari’ bale knows ānandita-mane
Word by word:
dui jane - to the two people; prabhura - of the Lord; kṛpā - mercy; dekhi ’- seeing; bhakta-gaṇe - all the devotees; hari hari - the holy name of the Lord; bale - sing; knows - all; ānandita - full of joy; mane - in the mind.
Translation:
Seeing the mercy the Lord had had with the two brothers, all the devotees became very happy and began to sing the holy name of the Lord: «Hari! Hari!
Meaning:
Purport: Śrīla Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura says: chāḍiyā vaiṣṇava sevā nistāra peyeche kebā: Without serving a Vaiṣṇava, it is impossible to break free. The spiritual master initiates the disciple in order to free him; If the disciple fulfills the order of the spiritual master and does not offend other Vaiṣṇavas, he can move forward without difficulty. For that reason, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu asked all the Vaiṣṇavas present there to be merciful to the two brothers, Rūpa and Sanātana, whom the Lord had just begun. The Vaiṣṇava, seeing that another Vaiṣṇava has received the mercy of the Lord, feels very happy. Vaiṣṇavas are not envious. When a Vaiṣṇava, by the mercy of the Lord, receives from Him the power to spread the holy name of the Lord throughout the world, the other Vaiṣṇavas, if they are true Vaiṣṇavas, feel very happy. Certainly, whoever is envious of the success of a Vaiṣṇava is not a Vaiṣṇava, but an ordinary mundane person. Envy and jealousy are characteristic of worldly people, not Vaiṣṇavas. Why was a Vaiṣṇava going to be envious of another Vaiṣṇava who succeeds in spreading the holy name of the Lord? The true Vaiṣṇava feels very pleased to accept that Vaiṣṇava who grants the Lord's mercy. Someone who wears Vaiṣṇavas habits but is a mundane person, should not receive respect, but should be rejected. This is ordered by śāstra (upekṣā). The word upekṣā means disdain. The envious person must be disdained. The preacher has a duty to love the Supreme Personality of Godhead, make friends with the Vaiṣṇavas, be merciful to the innocent, and reject or despise those who are envious or jealous. In the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement there are many envious people dressed in Vaiṣṇavas habits, and they should not be taken into account at all. It is useless to serve an envious person dressed as Vaiṣṇava. When Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura says chāḍiyā vaiṣṇava sevā nistāra peyeche kebā, it refers to true Vaiṣṇavas, not envious or jealous people dressed as Vaiṣṇavas.

Hare Krishna, my obeisances, glories to Srila Prabhupada, received, I hope that upon receiving this message you will find yourself happy in Krishna consciousness, awaiting your reply, in the service of Srila Prabhupada and his devotees, Haripada dasa.

As I understand it

As I understand it, by Haripada dasa
If a person buys Srila Prabhupada's books, studies them, likes them and obeys the spiritual instructions in these books, that is, Hare Krishna sings and obeys the 4 regulative principles, that person is connecting with Srila Prabhupada, because the Srila Prabhupada and Srila Prabhupada's books is the same, then if that person is serious and sincere, Krishna will arrange for a disciple of Srila Prabhupada to send him in the name of Srila Prabhupada, so he will connect with the guru parampara, I remember a class of Srila Prabhupada that Madhuvisa asks him, if a person reads the Bible and obeys the instructions, what happens, and Srila Prabhupada replies that at the moment that one obeys the instructions of Jesus, that means that he is accepting Jesus as his guru or teacher, and then Madhuvisa tells him that you have to have a guru lived, and Srila Prabhupada replies that the guru is eternal, on this point, I have always had the intui tion that I have already served Srila Prabhupada in other lives and that it is now a continuity, in CC, ML, 15, 111, Srila Prabhupada says that a properly initiated Vaisnava may be imperfect, but who sings without offense the holy name of the Lord is completely perfect and an initiated person may be contaminated by Mayavadi philosophy, but the person who sings without offenses will not be subject to such contamination, in this meaning Srila Prabhupada twice emphasizes singing without offenses, on the other hand, Srila Prabhupada He instructed his disciples to initiate in his name, to be officiating acharyas or ritviks, in my personal case I thought that if I am fully convinced of this ritvik philosophy, I must pray to Srila Prabhupada and Krishna to send me a disciple of Srila Prabhupada and I started in his name, and Srila Prabhupada and Krishna made all the arrangements and so it happened, because I thought that if someone is convinced of the philosophy a ritvik and not put into practice, people will tell you that this person is a hypocrite. We all understand and accept that a disciple of Srila Prabhupada is one who obeys the instructions of Srila Prabhupada, the result of this will be that he will feel the presence of Srila Prabhupada in his life and will acquire the qualities of Srila Prabhupada, and will always be very happy to associate with serious and sincere disciples of Srila Prabhupada. The other point to discuss is who is an officiating acharya or ritvik, my humble opinion is that the main quality of this person is that he must be very expert in Srila Prabhupada's books to dispel the doubts of others, and he or Dreams will think he is guru, but everyone's friend.
On the other hand, in the lectures that Srila Prabhupada gave in Kartika 1972 in the Sri Radha Damodara of Vrindavana, there Srila Prabhupada spoke about SRIMATI RADHARANI, if we take refuge from the external energy of Krishna, where Krishna's forgetfulness is very prominent, then we move further and further away from Krishna, but if we take refuge in the internal energy of Krishna, Radharani, because She is directly serving Krishna, as well as in Vrindavana, there is always talk of Radharani, because they have taken refuge from Radharani in order to approach to Krishna very easily, daivim prakritim asritah, the ease of Vrindavana, is that if you take shelter of Radharani directly, She will help you get closer to Krishna very soon, that is the idea when you come to Vrindavana. Notice that Srila Prabhupada says to take refuge from Radharani directly, She will help you get closer to Krishna very soon, that is the idea when you come to Vrindavana. This is very deep.

We want nectar

We want nectar, by Haripada dasa
We all understand and accept that the truth will set us free, it will always be better to pray to Srila Prabhupada and Krishna for others than to criticize, to avoid criticism we must obey the instruction of Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada that says that others do what they want, to I don't care, I already have enough work singing Hare Krishna to purify my damned mind, and Bhaktivinoda Thakura said that if you see a defect in others, it is not that the person has that defect, but that the defect you have and you reflect it in the other person, the only way to eliminate evil on a personal and collective level, is through goodness, he who does not live to serve, does not serve to live and peace and good. Nectar means obeying all the instructions that Srila Prabhupada and all the guru parampara have given us, in relation to the association of the devotees, Baktivinoda Thakura in the Bhakti Sudhodaya tells us that the devotees must relate to the most advanced, affective and have devotees the same temperament, and Visvanatha Chakravarti instructs us and tells us that if in the association of the devotees we see people with a very harsh character, that we respect them in the mind but that we do not associate with them, and I have done very well break the relationship with anyone that I feel wants to control me. I am very clear that my best friends in the spiritual life are those who transmit to Srila Prabhupada.
The Bhakti plant feeds on nectar, not rare stories, gossip, etc. We have very defined spiritual ideals, try to follow all the instructions given in Srila Prabhupada's books, and help each other do the same, by doing this we live with Srila Prabhupada and acquire their qualities. Our love and service is for Srila Prabhupada, and we have full faith that Srila Prabhupada is the authorized person who will take us back home, back to Krishna. The amara jivana song of Bhaktivinoda Thakura has helped me a lot, in this song he with all his humility puts himself in the role of an ordinary person so that we know the mentality of people in general, there he says three times that I only make him suffer the others and when that happens I feel great happiness, once a friend of mine separated from his wife, and his wife's strategy was for her ex-husband to suffer was to make him believe that it was his fault, and so my friend was 1 years suffering, until thanks to his friends he understood what was happening and freed himself from the sufferings, he took a weight off.
The worst thing that can happen to a person in the spiritual life is to think that I know everything, in relation to this Srila Prabhupada told a story, there was a violin teacher, there were two people there, the teacher asked them you can play something the violin, one replied that I do not know anything, and the other said that I already know how to play the violin, the teacher told them that so that he who does not know I will charge him 20 euros a month, and so that he who already knows 40 euros a month, and the one who said he knew protested by saying why he does this to me, charging me double, and the teacher told him that with you first I have to show you all the things that you think you know, but that you don't really know, and teach you everything again, so it's double work.
