Today's Thought: |

Survive and Thrive in Hell
Uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram--Austin,
Texas USA |

What
does a devotee do when all hell breaks loose in his life
and things become completely haywire, completely
unmanageable? Such times when the soul is on trial are
the most
opportune times for making spiritual
advancement. Therefore those who are learned in
transcendental knowledge do not become devastated
in such calamitous circumstances. Rather they become
enlivened by the increased facility such circumstances
offer for taking complete shelter of the Lord. In this
way those who are wise survive and thrive even in the
most hellish of circumstances.

Question:
No Obstacles Greater That We Can Handle? |
|
Dear
Gurudeva,
In the 29 January 2011 message you said that Krishna
"will never give us an obstacle which is greater than
what we can handle". Please help me understand this, as
I often find my current troubles to be quite
overwhelming. Also could you please direct me to any
scripture where this is confirmed?
Thank you in advance.
Hare Krishna,
Mahendra

Answer: Krishna's
Unlimited Causeless Mercy |
|
It is simply a
matter of understanding Lord Sri Krishna's unlimitedly
compassionate nature. The scriptures describe as follows
in Srimad Bhagavatam 10.14.8 how a devotee deals with
reverse situations:
tat te 'nukampāṁ
su-samīkṣamāṇo
bhuñjāna evātma-kṛtaṁ vipākam
hṛd-vāg-vapurbhir vidadhan namas
te
jīveta yo mukti-pade sa dāya-bhāk
"My dear Lord, any person who is constantly awaiting
Your causeless mercy to be bestowed upon him, and who
goes on suffering the resultant actions of his past
misdeeds, offering You respectful obeisances from the
core of his heart, is surely eligible to become
liberated, for it has become his rightful claim."
So this is the key how to access the unlimited bliss of
pure devotion. One simply has to have firm faith that in
all circumstances Krishna is bestowing His causeless
mercy upon His devotee to give him exactly what he needs
for coming to the sublime transcendental platform of
pure bhakti as soon as possible.
