Srila
Prabhupada explains in this purport to Caitanya
Caritamrita, Adi 7.163:
"Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu has already sanctified the
entire universe by His presence five hundred years ago,
and therefore anyone who attempts to serve Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu sincerely by following in His footsteps and
following the instructions of the acharyas will
successfully be able to preach the holy names of the
Hare Krishna maha-mantra all over the universe."
This is incredibly amazing! By sincerely following Lord
Caitanya according to the instructions of the previous
acharyas one will be successful in spreading Krishna
consciousness all over the universe. What an amazing
goal to aspire for! One simply has to strictly follow
the pathway of the previous acharyas, and then by the
grace of Lord Caitanya and the previous acharyas he will
inundate the entire universe with Krishna bhakti.

Question:
Are You or Krishna Running this World? |
|
In the 14 August 2011
Thought for the Day, you have written:
"Our great hope is that some day soon the entire world
will become Krishna conscious so that all of this chaos
and suffering will end."
But I have learned from Bhagavad-gita, the Srimad
Bhagavatam, and even you that this world is run by Lord
Krishna. Even the worst of the worst people act
according to the order of Lord Krishna, and until Lord
Krishna showers His grace nobody can turn to Krishna
consciousness.
So my question is Lord Krishna running this world or
you?
N.B.
|
|
Answer: Your Question is Absurd |
|
How
can you ask such an absurd question whether I run the
world or Krishna runs it? The living being eternally
remains the tiny servant of God, and Krishna eternally
remains the supreme controller. At no time does the
living being ever become God.
What you don't realize is that Krishna is controlling
this universe along with all the other universes through
the agency of two different energies: His material
energy and His spiritual energy. It is through the
agency of these two energies that He controls
everything, just as a government controls all of its
citizens by it laws for free citizens or its prisons for
criminals. Just as it is up to each citizen to either
obey or disobey the state laws, it is up to each jiva
soul to either serve the Lord's material energy or the
Lord's spiritual energy.
At the present moment this world is filled up with a
population of jiva souls who have foolishly misused
their minute independence by choosing to serve the
Lord's inferior external or material energy. It is the
Lord's merciful order that His devotees try to reform
these lost souls. And in a mood of loving compassion for
all these suffering souls the devotees try to convince
these lost souls to come out of the prison of this
material existence and reinstate themselves in their
eternal liberated positions as the servants of the Lord.
Therefore, the devotees, in full obedience to the order
of the Lord, endeavor to make the entire world Krishna
conscious so that everyone can become happy.
Krishna has appeared as Lord Caitanya to bestow His
grace that the entire world can become Krishna
conscious. And He has empowered His devotees as His
messengers to deliver His mercy for the salvation of
all. Those who are fortunate will accept the Lord's
mercy delivered by the devotees, and the unfortunate
will not accept this mercy. This is compared to the rain
cloud, which brings the water from the ocean to
extinguish the blazing forest fire. This material world
is a blazing forest fire, and the Lord's devotees are
like the rain clouds, which bring the water of the
Lord's mercy to relieve the suffering souls.
