Today's Thought: |
 |
For a Devotee Every Day is Bliss as Usual
Uploaded from Lima, Peru |
|
|
|
 A
devotee of the Lord does not base his bliss on his
material circumstances. The basis of his bliss is to be
fully absorbed in Krishna consciousness by always
endeavoring at every minute to successfully carry out
the orders he has received from his spiritual master. He
is not elated by success because he never thinks it is
his success. He only sees it as the mercy of the Lord.
And he is never depressed or discouraged by failure
because he simply sees as the merciful arrangement of
the Lord to help His devotee feel more and more
dependent on the mercy of the Lord. In other words, in
all situations his happiness is simply to understand and
feel how the Lord is being merciful to him. Thus he is
always blissful in all situations.

Question: What is Your Stage of Advancement? |
|
|
On 26 December 2010 you
talked about the stages a devotee goes through
progressing on the path of bhakti. If I may, I would
like to inquire about what stage you are at, what you
experience, and maybe even a few examples of
revelational and mystical experiences you've had along
the pathway of spiritual progress..
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything.

Answer: Rascal Fully
Absorbed in Guru's Service |
|
|
Personally I consider
myself to be nowhere along the path of spiritual
advancement. In my opinion I am simply a despicable
rascal.
But according to the great Vaisnava acharya, Srila
Bhaktivinode Thakur, we can judge how much a devotee is
advanced along the path of bhakti by how successful he
is in spreading the science of Krishna consciousness all
over the world. So if you want to understand my
position, you can consider that I am guiding over 12,000
people in the science of bhakti in over 100 countries,
that I have initiated disciples in every continent of
the globe, and that I am fully absorbed in trying to
carry out my spiritual master's order to be a guru and
deliver the entire world.
For forty years since my initiation into Krishna
consciousness in 1971 I have faithfully served the
orders of my spiritual master, His Divine Grace Srila
Prabhupada. By this absorption my every day is the
sweetest revelational, mystical happiness of
ever-expanding Krishna consciousness. So now you can
decide for yourself what is my position in Krishna
consciousness.
