Today's Thought:

Jesus Christ Teaches Bhagavad-gita Principle
Uploaded from Melbourne, Australia

A Christian does not have to abandon Christianity to become Krishna conscious because Krishna consciousness is the perfection of Christianity. Christ expresses that perfection in Luke 22:42 when he prays, "Father, not my will, but thy will be done." So if we can lay aside what we want to do and simply do what God wants us to do, we become perfect in spiritual life. This is exactly the same teaching that Krishna gives in the Bhagavad-gita when He tells Arjuna to abandon all other considerations and simply do what Krishna wants him to do. Christ was a perfect Vaisnava, a pure devotee of the Lord. He taught the principles of bhakti in a very elementary way suited to those to whom he was teaching. The way of Jesus is the only way: the way of complete, total surrender unto the will of God as taught by Krishna in the Bhagavad-gita.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Meaning of Not Being Materialistic


Gurudeva,

It is said that one should not be materialistic. Does it mean we should not strive for better pay and position?

Regards,
P.K.
 


Answer: Strive to Get Ahead for Krishna


Not being materialistic means that all of your strivings should be offered to Krishna. In other words, you should strive for better pay and position so that you can give more financial support to the Krishna consciousness movement, not for increasing your sense gratification.
