Today's Thought: |

Perfect Your Existence for Eternal Happiness
Uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram--Austin,
Texas USA |

If
a musical instrument is not properly tuned, when it is
played it sounds horrible. Similarly when the living
being is not in tune with the source of his existence,
no matter what he may do to try to become situated in
lasting happiness, he will be unsuccessful. Of course,
if he has good karma, he may be able to go on for some
time falsely thinking that he is happy in this material
world. But time and tide wait for no man. Sooner or
later he will be crushed by the inexorable wheel of
time, and he will find that his material happiness has
been completely ruined. Therefore if one wants enduring
happiness, he must perfect his existence by bringing
himself back into harmony with the source of his
existence, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri
Krishna.

Answers According to the Vedic Version: |

Question: Can You Be My Spiritual Master? |
|
Thanks for
your blessings. I am a fallen soul. Therefore I have
taken birth in this materialistic age known as the
Kali-yuga. I beg you, Prabhu, can you be my spiritual
master and guide me in my journey of Krishna
consciousness, I might not be eligible due to my past
deeds to have you as my spiritual master, but I pray for
your mercy to accept me because I really want to come
out of this cycle of birth and death.
Please help me.

Answer: Yes, If You Will Follow
My Instructions |
|
This is very nice that you would like to become a
disciple, because becoming a disciple is a required step
on the pathway to spiritual perfection. Disciple means
one who disciplines his life strictly according to the
orders received from his spiritual master. If you are
willing to place yourself fully under my instructions, I
will be happy to accept you as my disciple. My
instruction to all those who would like to become
formally initiated as my disciples is that they should
be recommended to me by their local ISKCON center as
being qualified for initiation.
To qualify for being recommended the first thing is that
you must be solidly fixed in following Srila
Prabhupada's instruction to chant at least 16 rounds of
the Hare Krishna mantra on japa beads every day along
with strictly avoiding illicit sex, meat eating,
intoxication and gambling. After you have been doing
this for at least six months, you can then be
recommended by your local ISKCON center to formally take
shelter of me as your future initiating spiritual
master. And then after six months of this shelter, you
can be recommended to me by your local ISKCON center as
being qualified for initiation. Once these requirements
have been met, I will happy to accept you as my duly
initiated disciple.
