Today's Thought: |

I Never Came Back to the World of Misery
Uploaded from Kaliningrad, Russia |
|
|
Back
in 1965 when I was a college student I
couldn't stand the material world that I had been born
into. It was way too
miserable for me, unacceptably unpalatable. Since I
intuitively understood that fate could not be
so cruel to leave me stranded forever in a world like
this, I began earnestly searching for a way to
access the beautiful, blissful world that I knew must be
on the other side of reality. I encountered many
teachings that claimed to be the way to get there, and I
tried their methods. But much to my disappointment,
nothing liberated me. After three years of painful
searching
I was still stuck in the muck of miserable material
existence.
But one fateful evening in fall of 1968 in Denver,
Colorado USA
my arduous search bore the sweetest of all fruits. A friend of
mine named Patrick Dolan handed me the key to open the
door to that amazing transcendental world. He
taught me an amazing mantra, which possesses unlimited
potency for
delivering those who chant it sincerely to the highest realm of
existence:
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare
I gladly took the key and learned how to pass through the door to the
blissful side of reality. And I never came back to the
world of misery.

Question: When to Abandon Material Activities? |
|
Gurudeva,
I am every day reading your "Thought for the Day". I am
really inspired with by it and would like to become
enlightened by following your principles. I got a doubt
after reading your response for the question, "Should I
give up material studies?". How can we be successful in
both spiritual and materialistic life? Don't we have to
abandon our materialistic activities at some point of
our life and concentrate more on spiritual life? Also
when should we give up such activities?
Your sincere follower,
Malini

Answer: Retire at 50 or As Soon
As It's Practical |
|
For earning a
livelihood material studies when necessary should not be
given up. But in the Vedic culture activities of
material livelihood are meant to be given up by the time
we become 50 so that we can devote all of our time and
energy to spiritual pursuits. In the modern world, if it
is not possible to retire by 50, we should do it as soon
as it becomes practical after 50.
