Today's Thought: |
 |
Pure Devotees Don't Fall Down
Uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram--Austin,
Texas USA | |
|
|
 One
who is solidly fixed in Krishna consciousness never
falls down because he is constantly relishing within his
heart a sweetness which surpasses by millions, billions,
and even trillions of times the happiness derived from
material sense gratification. Even if he were offered
heavenly enjoyment in the upper planetary systems where
the pleasure is thousands of times greater than the
pleasure on this planet, he would still not be allured
because even one drop of the ocean of transcendental
bliss is more satisfying and uplifting than unlimited
oceans of sensual pleasure.

Answers According to the Vedic Version: | |
|
|
Question: Are Indian Gurus Superior? |
|
|
There are
some devotees in ISKCON saying that the Indian gurus are
more bona fide than the Western gurus. So can you please
give some sastric proof that this is not a correct
statement?

Answer: Hell's Residents
Make Such Distinctions |
|
|
Anyone who
judges the authenticity of a spiritual master based on his body type has a hellish, racist mentality and is
completely unqualified to understand who is a bona fide
spiritual master and who is not.
This is confirmed as follows in the Padma Purana:
"One who thinks that the worshipable Deity in the temple
is made of wood or stone, one who sees a Vaisnava guru
as an ordinary human being, or one who materially
conceives of a Vaisnava as belonging to a particular
caste is naraki, a resident of hell."
Since the first principle of spiritual knowledge is that
we are not these bodies, it is unthinkable that any
members of ISKCON could be thinking this way. Kindly
report this matter to the local ISKCON authorities where
this misconception is going on so that these misinformed
persons can be brought to the proper standard of
spiritual knowledge. Otherwise there is no question of
their being able to make any spiritual advancement.
