If
You Are Not Twice-Born, You Are An Animal
uploaded
from New Delhi, India |
|
|

 Our
first birth is from our mother and father. Every animal
gets such a birth. So if we only get first birth, we are
in the category of the animals. What makes one a
human being as distinguished from the animals is when he
takes to the self-realization pathway seriously by
accepting second birth from the bona fide spiritual
master. This second-birth, which is called diksha or
initiation, occurs when one surrenders to the bona fide
spiritual master to learn from him the transcendental
self-realization science. At the time of initiation the spiritual master gives the disciple
a new name such as Krishna Das (servant of Krishna) to
remind him of his new transcendental identity.

Question: How to Judge Sadhana Progress? |
|
|
Dear Gurudeva,
Namaste.
I would like to ask the following questions:
What happens at the physical, mental and intellectual
levels when one does rounds of japa mala and chants the
Hare Krishna mahamantra? After monitoring these
parameters how one should judge that his/her sadhana is
on right track for achieving the transcendental
destination?
Yours in yoga

Answer: More Attraction to
Krishna Less to Maya |
|
|
When one
absorbs his consciousness in chanting the Hare Krishna
mahamantra his body, mind, and intelligence all become
purified. If one is losing his attraction to all forms
of material sense gratification, both subtle and gross,
and is becoming more and more attracted to the
transcendental name, form, pastimes, qualities,
entourage, and paraphernalia of the Supreme Personality
of Godhead, he is definitely on the right track to the
transcendental destination. Therefore you should take up
this chanting process seriously and become spiritually
perfect in this rare human form of life for achieving
the transcendental destination of going back to home,
back to Godhead.
