Today's Thought: |
|
Prestige Seekers are Forgotten
Uploaded from Sydney, Australia |
|
|
In
this material world everyone is looking for prestige,
but no matter how much prestige they may accrue, they
will still be completely humiliated by unavoidable
death. And in due course of time all the reputations of even
history's most prestigious heroes will vanish into
oblivion. The pure devotees, on the other hand, are not
seeking personal prestige. They simply desire to spread
the name and fame of Lord Sri Krishna all over the
world. But because Krishna desires that His pure devotees
should be more prestigious than Him, the pure devotees
of Krishna automatically become the most famous,
prestigious persons in the history of the universe.

Answers According to the Vedic Version: |
|
|
Question:
How to Be Aloof from Aloofness? |
|
Why are we
trying to find happiness in the material world even if
there isn't any? How can Krishna consciousness teach me
how to remain aloof from aloofness? How can I control my
mind in a manner that is favorable for Krishna
consciousness? Can you point towards any verse in
Bhagavad Gita directing towards this?
P.R.

|
Answer: Engage Whole World in
Krishna's Service |
|
Because our nature is to
always enjoy happiness we naturally try to find
happiness in this material world even though it is a
place of misery.
While the impersonalists adopt a mood of aloofness to
try to free themselves from the miseries of material
existence, the devotees of the Lord reject aloofness by
engaging everything in the service of the Lord. Thus
they become liberated from this material existence even
while they are still living within it and relish the
sweetest happiness at every minute.
The method for always having a mental attitude which is
favorable for your Krishna consciousness is to always
remember Krishna. In Bhagavad-gita 9.34 Krishna
instructs us to always think of Him:
man-manā bhava mad-bhakto
mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru
mām evaiṣyasi yuktvaivam
ātmānaṁ mat-parāyaṇaḥ
"Engage your mind always in thinking of Me, become My
devotee, offer obeisances to Me and worship Me. Being
completely absorbed in Me, surely you will come to Me."
