Today's Thought: |

Be a
Liberated Person from the Very Beginning
Uploaded from Sofia, Bulgaria |
|
|
It
is not difficult to become a liberated person.
When we say, "liberated" we mean liberated from the
clutches of the material nature. We are not speaking of
the so called liberation of the sense gratifiers, which is
nothing but bondage in disguise. Becoming such a
genuinely liberated person is not at all difficult.
Srila Prabhupada very nicely describes this in his purport to
Bhagavad-gita 4.42:
"The Lord is definitely the supreme person, and His
activities are transcendental. One who understands this
is a liberated person from the very beginning of his
study of Bhagavad-gita."
So all that is required to be a liberated person, even as
one begins this path of Krishna bhakti, is to understand
that Krishna is definitely the supreme person and that
all His activities are transcendental. If one
hears submissively from a bona fide spiritual master and
serves him with love, it
is not at all difficult to understand these points and
become a liberated person.

Question: How
to Overcome Negativity? |
|
I'm Lord Kishna's devotee, and I have a problem of
negative thinking. My point of view is negative.
No matter how many times I try to think Krishna
consciously, bad thoughts ultimately come to my mind.
Due to all this negativity, bad things keep coming true
in my practical daily life. My chanting is also
declining. Why Krishna is not helping me? Please guide
me.

Answer: Take Advantage of Key
to Spiritual Success |
|
There is nothing wrong with negativity if you utilize it
properly in Krishna's service. To become liberated from
material bondage, requires both negativity and
positivity. Negativity means to give up the association
of worldly people because it is the pathway to hell. And
positivity means to accept the association of devotees
because it is the pathway to the spiritual world.
To get rid of bad thoughts--which come in in the
categories of lust, greed, anger, madness, illusion, and
envy--you should constantly chant Hare Krishna and read
Vedic literature as much possible. Your mind has been
contaminated for thousands and millions of lifetimes. So
you must now be very determined and patient as the
process of Krishna consciousness gradually clears the
contamination out of your mind.
Whatever bad things happen to you are actually good
things in disguise because through the so-called bad
experiences you are burning off the reactions from your
past sinful activities. So don't be disturbed by the
so-called bad things. They are part of Krishna's plan to
make you qualified for returning to His spiritual
kingdom as soon as possible. The key to spiritual
success is to remain completely sinless by strictly
avoiding illicit sex, meat eating, intoxicating, and
gambling as well as chanting at least 16 rounds daily of
the Hare Krishna mahamantra. This will qualify you for
spiritual perfection as soon as possible.
