Today's Thought: |
 |
Don't Play Around in Misery
Uploaded from London, England | |

 Flying
from Dallas to London on 26 March 2011 on the airplane
we were offered many choices of films to watch. But
because none of them were beneficial for my Krishna
consciousness I did not want to watch any of them. This
reminded me of the time back in 1969 when I was a young
counter-cultural songwriter in Berkeley, California
seeking spiritual enlightenment and spiritual revolution
on this planet. Hare Krishna devotee Mukhanlal das
brahmacari took me with him to spend the night at
ISKCON's center in San Francisco at 518 Frederick
Street. The next morning for the first time in my life I
chanted one round of the Hare Krishna mantra on japa
beads. Heading back to Berkeley later that morning I was
feeling quite exhilarated. That evening in Berkeley I
was visiting some people who were sitting around wasting
their time watching some nonsense on television. Instead
of wasting my time with them I went out on their front
porch and wrote a song. The main line of the song
was, "Do you think I'd waste my time playing around in
misery when I am so close to Nirvana?" My
uplifting spiritual experience at the Hare Krishna temple gave
me the prema premonition
that soon I would attain the spiritual enlightenment I
had been seeking, and the last time in the
world I wanted to do was to waste my time absorbing my
consciousness in some ridiculous mundane television show. What I
was realized that day in 1969 is just as true today as
it was then. I still don't want to waste my time with
nonsense. The only difference is that now by the
grace of my beloved spiritual master, His Divine Grace
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, I have been most auspiciously blessed with the transcendental knowledge
that I formally was so desperately seeking.

Answer: Krishna's
Personal Possessions |
|
|
When we speak of Lord
Krishna's paraphernalia we are speaking of such things
as His flute, His peacock feather, His ornaments, and
His clothing.
