Sometimes in the cause of life – in the cause of duty, we have to adjust our dress; we cannot speak about Krishna because we are in situations where it is not possible. That's okay, but we must understand that when we are forced to do it then we are under the protection of Caitanya Mahaprabhu. But the danger is that when we are forced to do it (because we are interacting with the world) is that we are getting into a habit of it, and then we may feel,'Why even bother,' and we rarely wear dhotis unless if it's Janmashtami, something that happens once a year. It's okay, it's all right, and it's possible, and if you're transcendental, then it is fine but are we transcendental? Who is actually transcendental? Sometimes I'm in the temple and I think, that it's wonderful to be in the temple. The deities are transcendental; the kirtan is transcendental; the Bhagavatam is transcendental; the prashdam is transcendental. The temple is such a transcendental place that everything is transcendental and everyone is transcendental, except me! Yes, I do feel like that sometimes, I don't know if you have it also? So if you still have that sometimes, then maybe it's better to just take shelter of the external things, because it is the way nature's at and Maharaja Bharata – well you know he had another birth! So we are risking a lot. It's dangerous, and if you blow it in this life, then you don't know for how many births you have to stay in the material world. And well if you want to stay, then stay but I'm not staying!  Rating: 0.0/7 (0 votes cast) |
| It’s about the spiritual world Posted: 28 May 2012 02:23 PM PDT (HH Kadamba Kanana Swami, Sydney, Australia, 13th May 2012) Lecture: SB 5.11.14
I remember the Australian devotees used to come to Vrindavan, and I used to be in charge of giving rooms in the ashram. So I would give them the room. With the brahmacaris we would just give them the room and basically in India you have the cement floor. I gave the whole room, to the Australians for themselves, which was pretty good, then so they are meant to have somewhere to sleep. So they say: 'Is this the room? Where is the carpet? It's not there. It's just a bare floor! Where's the carpet? Okay let's go and let's get some Maha! Where are the pizzas?' That's going deep if you think about it, but still you know even pizza at one point it just doesn't do it. It's about the spiritual world so let's remember that, because in the spiritual world, there is no birth death disease or old age.  Rating: 7.0/7 (1 vote cast) |
