Finding the Real Heaven in Hawaii
Uploaded from Hawaii, USA | |
|
No
matter where one may go within this vast material
existence, he will find that every place is predominated
by the unavoidable and inescapable fourfold miseries of
birth, death, old age, and disease. Now we have arrived
in Hawaii where I am giving a series of lectures on the
transcendental science of Krishna consciousness. Even
though this place is famous for its heavenly atmosphere,
we still see that the hellish material miseries reign
supreme here, just like they do everywhere else.
Everybody in Hawaii is born, gets sick, gets old, and
dies. But by the mercy of Sri Guru and Sri Krishna one
can live here or anywhere in real heaven by reconnecting
with Lord Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of
Godhead and thus conquering over these miseries.

Question:
Enlightening Others With Krishna Consciousness |
|
Thank you so much for sacrificing
so much of yourself in helping others revive their
original consciousness and in so doing taking them out
of their miseries.
Maharaja, I wanted to ask how to enlighten others in the
science of Krishna consciousness. I am trying to give
Krishna consciousness to my eldest brother, but I think
I am coming across as fanatical. It hurts to see him
stuck and bewildered by this material world. I want to
give him the tool by which he can free himself and
others. Because I am the younger sister it's hard to get
him to listen. He thinks I am brain washed. He asked me
a question the other day, "How do you make people
believe? There are so many religions in the world, which
one to follow if any?" What is the answer to this
question?
I forwarded one of your lessons
to him, "Transcending the Dualities of Material
Existence". He didn't read it at first saying he must be
wary of harmful information. I told him he wouldn't be
able to identify harmful information because he has not
yet seen good. He has read it now. He didn't like one
sentence "The final conclusion is that everyone must
come to Krishna consciousness as soon as possible for
achieving their much desired peace, happiness, love, and
success." He says it sounds like an ultimatum. What do I
tell him?
Thank you kindly,
Anusuya.

Answer: Teach Others Who They
Actually Are. |
|
We have no interest in
getting anyone to believe in and join another nonsense
religion. Our interest is to enlighten others with the
knowledge of their real identity so they can become free
from all suffering. It is due to ignorance only that the
human civilization is descending into an
ever-increasingly miserable quagmire of delusion.
He said that my statement sounds like an ultimatum. This
shows his ignorance of the English language. An
ultimatum is a final demand whose rejection will end
negotiations and cause a resort to force or other direct
stringent action. We are simply stating the fact that as
long as people remain ignorant of their actual identity
they will never achieve the perfection of their
existence. We are not putting a gun to their heads with
the ultimatum that they must become Krishna conscious or
we will blow their brains out. We are simply giving
people the opportunity to attain unlimited peace, love,
and happiness by realizing the Absolute Truth regarding
the individual self and its relationship with the
Supreme Self. If he has a problem with our offer to help
people achieve genuine, undying happiness, that is his
problem. We hope and pray that he will some day come to
understand the liberating reality of his existence.
