Today's Thought: |
 |
Appearance Day of Lord Caitanya
Uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram--Austin,
Texas USA | |
|
|
 What
day can be more auspicious than the appearance day of
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu? He is Krishna Himself
appearing in His most merciful manifestation to bestow
freely upon all without any restriction pure love of
Godhead. It is up to us to now take full advantage of
His unlimited mercy and easily qualify ourselves to go
back to home, back to Godhead at the end of this
lifetime. The wonderful mercy of Lord Caitanya and His
associates is described as follows in the Sri Caitanya
Caritamrita, Adi Lila, Chapter Seven, Verse 163:
ei pañca-tattva-rūpe śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya
kṛṣṇa-nāma-prema diyā viśva kailā dhanya
"Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His associates of
the Pañca-tattva distributed the holy name of the Lord
to invoke love of Godhead throughout the universe, and
thus the entire universe was thankful."
In his purport to this verse Srila Prabhupada writes:
"Here it is said that Lord Caitanya made the entire
universe thankful to Him for propagating the sankirtana
movement with His associates. Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu
has already sanctified the entire universe by His
presence five hundred years ago, and therefore anyone
who attempts to serve Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu sincerely
by following in His footsteps and following the
instructions of the acaryas will successfully be able to
preach the holy names of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra
all over the universe."

Question: An Indecisive Kid in a Candy Shop |
|
|
I am
feeling like a child who's daddy just gave me a nickel
so that I could buy a piece of candy. I am standing in
front of the candy now and there are hundreds of
different kinds, and I can't decide which one to buy.
There's the God candy, Krishna, Rama, Jesus, Buddha,
Oneness and Shiva candy, which is the one that I should
pick?
Which is the real piece of candy and not just the fancy
wrapping?
It's the dreams again. I've been in the Catholic dream,
born again Christian dream, Tao, Eck, SGI, and now Hindu
dream among others? How do I awaken from the illusions
and find the truth?

Answer: Take the Medicine
and Enjoy the Candy |
|
|
Your
question is very nice.
A similar example is that of someone entering a pharmacy
and finding hundreds of different medicines. How will he
know which is the proper medicine to take? It is not
difficult. He simply has to accept the medicine which
his physician has prescribed and take it exactly
according to his physician's instructions. Then there
will be no difficulty. He will be cured.
The physician is the bona fide spiritual master and the
bona fide spiritual master is that teacher who
understands perfectly how to engage his disciple in
following the Vedic wisdom so that he will quickly be
delivered from the dangerous ocean of birth, death, old
age, and disease.
At the present moment we cannot taste the candy of pure
love of Godhead, because we are in a diseased condition.
But after being cured under the guidance of the bona
fide spiritual master, we will be able to relish the
sweetest candy of pure love of God at every minute.
