Become Guru and Deliver the Whole World

 On
17 December 1973 in Los Angeles Srila Prabhupada gave
this order to his disciples, "Become guru and deliver
the whole world." Considering the current
increasingly degraded world situation, this seems to be an
impossible to fulfill order. But yet we
hear in the Bhagavad-gita that wherever Krishna and
Arjuna are present there will certainly be opulence,
victory, extraordinary power, and morality. Therefore if we can be pure
enough in our
Krishna consciousness to solidly connect with Krishna at
every moment, we will be experience amazing victories in our humble attempt to
make the entire world Krishna consciousness.

Question: Krishna Consciousness and Nonviolence? |
|
|
Dear
Spiritual Master,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
Why is nonviolence not included as one of the pillars of
pious activities, like Lord Buddha's first teaching of
nonviolence and the Biblical teaching, "Thou shall not
kill."?

Answer: Ignorance of the Soul
is the Worst Violence |
|
|
Krishna does teach the
principle of nonviolence. You need to study the
Bhagavad-gita more carefully. You will find nonviolence
taught as a principle in Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 13, Text
8. In his purport to this verse Srila Prabhupada
explains as follows the true meaning of nonviolence:
"Nonviolence is generally taken to mean not killing or
destroying the body, but actually nonviolence means not
to put others into distress. People in general are
trapped by ignorance in the material concept of life,
and they perpetually suffer material pains. So unless
one elevates people to spiritual knowledge, one is
practicing violence. One should try his best to
distribute real knowledge to the people, so that they
may become enlightened and leave this material
entanglement. That is nonviolence."
So nonviolence goes far beyond simply committing
violence to the body. The greatest violence one can
commit is violence to the soul by keeping a person in
ignorance of his spiritual identity as the eternal
spirit-soul servant of Krishna. This is the worst form
of violence, and this is now going on everywhere all
over the world. Therefore it is the mission of the
Krishna consciousness to put a stop this violence.
