Today's Thought:

Follow Your Training, Not Your Mind
Uploaded from Riga, Latvia

The time of death will be the most traumatic or the most exhilarating experience of your entire life depending on whether or not you have properly prepared yourself. So if you would like to be in for a real treat instead of the ultimate nightmare, you need to train yourself ahead of time how to handle death in the best possible way. If you know what you are doing when death comes, you won't panic in wild uncontrolled mental hysteria. You will peacefully fix your mind on the Lord and triumphantly return to your original identity in that wondrous spiritual sky. But if you are foolishly holding on to the misconception that happiness comes through the gratification of the material senses, you will have to face the reactions for all of your previous actions and be reassigned into another term of imprisonment in one of the 8,400,000 different species of life in this material world according to your karma.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question:  Prove to a 14 Year Old that God Exists


Dear Gurudeva,

Recently I had a debate with my 14 year old nephew. His father told me that he does not accept God's existence. During the debate I came to know that one of his school teachers brain washed him against God. I am requesting you, please give such an explanation which will prove that God exists to a 14 year old boy.

A.S.
 


Answer:  Popcorn Doesn't Come From An Empty Pot


It's very simple. Explain to the boy you can't get something out of nothing. Then to demonstrate give the boy an empty pot and a stove and show him that no matter how much you heat the pot it still will not produce popcorn. Then add some popcorn kernels and some oil to the pot and pop some popcorn.

Now explain to him the lesson. The foolish atheists claim that the universe came out of nothing. But it is impossible to get something out of nothing. Everything comes from something. Therefore the universe must have an origin. It cannot come out of nothing. That origin can be called by different names. It can be called the Ultimate Source or it can be called God. Whether you call it the Ultimate Source or call it God does not matter. It is the scientific philosophical principle which must be clearly understood that the universe cannot come out of nothing. This means that the atheists are wrong.

Then you can offer the popcorn to Krishna and let the boy eat it and have a good time. He'll remember the lesson and he'll remember the great prasadam popcorn.
