Today's Thought:

When the Going Gets Tough,
the Tough Get Going

uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram--Austin, Texas USA

There is a saying, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." This is especially relevant in Krishna consciousness. This material world is a tough place, an abode full of suffering of three types:  suffering of the body and mind, suffering caused by other living entities, and suffering caused by natural disasters. Srila Prabhupada explains that the great devotee Vidura was addressed as a hero because no one is stronger in self-control than a devotee of the Lord. From this we can understand the toughness of a fixed up devotee of the Lord. Such tough devotees are not deterred from Krishna consciousness by devastating situations. Rather they become even stronger and more resolute in their Krishna consciousness when they face tough situations. So this a good lesson for us. When the going gets tough, when should get tough for determinedly fighting the battle with the material energy. We should never become cowards and give up the fight.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: Difference Between Krishna and Vishnu


Please explain me how Krishna and Vishnu are different?

Sini
 


Answer: God at Home and God at the Office


Vishnu or Vishnu-tattva is the category of the Supreme Personality of Godhead in all of His multifarious forms such as Krishna, Rama, Nrsimha, Vamana, Mahavishnu, etc. This is differentiated from the category known as Jiva-tattva, which is the category we are in as the Lord's separated parts and parcels. Therefore Krishna is the original Vishnu and the other forms of God as His expansions. When God is at home engaged in dealings with His intimate family members He is Krishna. And when He is engaged in managing universal cosmic affairs, He is Vishnu.
