Today's Thought:

Anything Else is a Royal Waste of  Time
Uploaded from Sofa, Bulgaria

Any other endeavor besides reconnecting yourself in love with that person who is the very source of your existence is ultimately a royal waste of time. Why? Because all such endeavors lead nowhere except to death. Therefore to have a truly meaningful existence you must dovetail all of your life's activities with the supreme goal of going back to home, back to your original existence in that wondrous spiritual sky.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: How is Spiritual Master's Body Spiritual?


It is said in scriptures that the body of a spiritual master is never to be considered a material body. Then, in this present material world, why does the spiritual master seem to take birth, get old, sometimes get sick and at the end leave his body at the time of death?

D.P.
 


Answer: Like an Iron Rod in the Fire


Even though the spiritual master's body is still under the laws of material nature, it is a fully spiritualized body because it is fully absorbed in Krishna's service. This is just like if you place an iron rod in the fire, it becomes fire. It acts just like fire with anything it comes into contact with.

In this connection Srila Prabhupada has taught us that one has to awaken his Krishna consciousness by first regretting his past misdeeds and then by touching the lotus feet of the spiritual master. It is a fact that Krishna consciousness cannot be achieved by one's own endeavor. One must approach a self-realized, Krishna conscious person and touch his lotus feet.
