Today's Thought: |

There's Nothing Like Krishna Consciousness

 There's
nothing like Krishna consciousness throughout the three
worlds. Indeed, it is unsurpassable with no rival
throughout the entirety of existence. It is the
quintessence of sweetness, the epitome of knowledge, as
well as the topmost perfection of love. And most
wonderfully, it is readily available right now for all
those who ardently desire it.

Question: Why Lord Shiva Smokes Marijuana? |
|
|
My dear Gurudeva,
I beg to clarify a doubt. A Muslim friend of mine
argued that Lord Shiva is considered as the greatest Vaishnava, but
yet he contradicts Vaishnava principles by smoking
marijuana. Why does Lord Shiva smoke marijuana, even
though he is considered to be the greatest Vaishnava?

Answer: He Can Smoke It,
While We Cannot. |
|
|
Just as
the sun is so powerful it can extract water from urine
without being polluted, Lord Shiva is so powerful
that he can swallow an ocean of poison without being
harmed. Similarly, he can smoke marijuana without losing
his stature as the greatest of Vaishnavas.
Those who want to smoke marijuana, justifying this by
Shiva's
smoking it, will first have to prove their prowess by
drinking an ocean of poison without being harmed.
I have not read anywhere where our acharyas have
explained why he smokes marijuana. To know why he smokes
it is not very important. The important thing to know is
that he can smoke it, while we cannot.
