Heading Out with a Message
that Can Transform the Entire World
Uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram--Austin,
Texas USA |
|

After
a refreshing, invigorating three weeks hiatus here at
Bhaktivedanta Ashram in Austin, Texas USA my wife,
Vishnupriya devi dasi, and I are heading out today once
again on an around-the-world itinerary for spreading the
sublime transcendental self-realization science of
Krishna to more and more souls all over the world.
Although we are simply tiny, little messengers, the
message we are delivering is so powerful that it can
completely transform the entire human society within
eighteen days, if the leaders of the world society would
only listen. We are praying for that day when they will
heed our message. May it come soon.

Answers According to the Vedic Version: |

Question:
How to Get Free from Karma? |
|
Dear
Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
How does the concept of karma work in the material
world? If I make some person happy or hurt somebody, do
I have to wait more lifetimes for that soul to do the
same thing back to me, or do I get my karmic reactions
in this lifetime?
Are my present experiences burning off past karma, or
are they creating new karma? For instance, if somebody
wants to give me money, should I refuse it because it
will generate new karma, or should I accept it
understanding that it is finishing past karma?
By doing good things like spreading the Holy Name and
making people around us spiritually aware are we killing
our bad karma? Or does the bad karma have to be
neutralized by interacting with specific souls from
previous lives? What are karmic ties, and how can I
finish my karma from past lives?
Your unworthy servant
N.M.

Answer: With the Help of a
Liberated Soul |
|
Karma
means that for every sinful action I perform I will be
punished and that for my pious deeds I will be rewarded.
These karmic reactions can come quickly or they can be
delayed over many lifetimes.
Karma is so entangling that simultaneously as we finish
old karma we are creating new karma. It's like
quicksand. No matter how you move you go deeper and
deeper into the quicksand. You can only be saved by a
person who is outside of the quicksand. That person who
can save us from the quicksand of karma is the bona fide
spiritual master. The spiritual master saves us by
teaching us the art of how to fully surrender to Lord
Krishna.
It is only through this surrender that we can gain
permanent liberation from the clutches of karma. We will
never gain permanent relief through interacting with
those souls with whom we have karmic debts because on
this level as we pay off old karmic debts we are simply
creating new ones. Surrender to Krishna is the only option.
Are you ready to surrender now?
