Our False Declaration of Independence
Uploaded from Aheloy, Bulgaria |
|
|
|
 In
this material world by our practical daily activities in
complete neglect of the Supreme Lord we falsely declare
our independence from God. This is ludicrous because at
every moment we are fully dependent upon God for
everything: the air we breath, our food, water,
clothing, shelter, and all other varieties of resources
that we utilize to maintain our comforts of life. We
cannot exist for a moment without these necessities of
life, which He kindly supplies us. We should be
constantly engaged in glorifying and remembering the
transcendental name, fame, qualities, and pastimes of
that most amazing Supreme Personality of Godhead, but
yet we have the audacity to declare our independence by
ignoring His existence.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version: |
|
|
Question: Devotion or Detachment? Which Is First? |
|
|
Kindly say which comes first: devotion or detachment?
Should one first get detached to come to the platform of
bhakti, or should he perform bhakti without being
qualified to do so, to attain detachment?
Vandana
|
|
|
Answer: Be Devoted. Detachment
Will Follow. |
|
|
Detachment without bhakti
is artificial and therefore cannot remain. It is only
when one comes to the platform of bhakti that genuine,
permanent detachment becomes manifested. So focus on
bhakti, even if you have no qualification. The only
requirement for bhakti is the intense greed to attain
it. We are not interested in cultivating detachment
separately from bhakti. Our desire is to come to the
platform of complete, total attachment to Krishna. It is
only when one comes to this consciousness that he
becomes perfect in detachment.
