Preach by example, by Haripada dasa
I take this opportunity to thank all the people who send me donations, I pray to Srila Prabhupada and God or Krishna to bless them always.
Western educators say: “Do not follow me; follow my words ”; or, put another way: "Do not do what I do, but what I say." Srila Prabhupada's life disputes this principle, since he applied in his own life all the instructions in his books and was a living example of them. There is not a single instruction in his books that he has not personally followed and, consequently, there is no disparity between his writings and his life; Between his actions and his words.
Srila Prabhupada taught us that a true spiritual master is one who preaches with his personal example, once Sanatana Goswami told Haridasa Thakura that you are the perfect devotee of God or Krishna, there are those who preach but do not practice and there are those who practice but not preach, but you practice everything you preach.
I share a beautiful verse from The Bhagavad gita, 3, 21, there it says that ordinary men follow in the footsteps of a great man, whatever action he may perform. And whatever guidelines he sets through exemplary acts, the whole world follows them, and in the meaning Srila Prabhupada says that the generality of people always requires a leader who can teach him through his behavior in practice. A leader cannot teach people to quit smoking if he smokes himself.
Srila Prabhupada always said that what people like most is to be deceived and suffer, and he also said that one of the great impediments to Krishna consciousness expanding is the large number of deceivers there are, and how people It is so lazy to make the spiritual awakening take advantage and tell people to give me 30 euros and I will give you a mantra and in six months you will be God, and the people are so foolish that they believe it. That is why this society is of deceivers and deceived.
The words convince, but the example drags. In the Jaiva dharma it is said that if someone gives religious advice without practicing them, this becomes a source of evil for the world.
Two thoughts to meditate:
1- Give good advice to a wise person and they will thank you and give good advice to a foolish person and will be angry.
2- If you have nectar in your heart you will never give poison and if you have poison in your heart you will never give nectar.
