Neophytes Associating With Seniors

That association is good for hearing and chanting or just rendering service. But when we go into that association dragging behind us this very large bag of all of our material baggage, that’s where the tiring comes.

“Let Me Desire The Highest Good For My Worst Enemies”

The Lord, Gaurasundara, puts His devotees in various difficulties and associations to test their patience and strength of mind. Success depends upon their good fortune.

The Order of the Spiritual Master is Our Dharma

If we are following the order of the Spiritual Master very strictly, then that is our dharma. So one is following dharma, but now the material dharma becomes replaced with the instruction of the Spiritual Master.

Where Do The Ṛtviks Come From?

Just managerially you become Guru, you don’t have to have any spiritual qualification. Just by being the temple president then you are automatically Guru. That’s all, this is just politics.

Until you can go beyond justice, you can’t get out of the material world. Because justice means profit and loss, gain and and safety, that’s what justice is for. Justice is to maintain the principle of gain and safety. But it’s not spiritual, unless it is connected to Kṛṣṇa.

“He Will Protect Me No Matter What”

Prahlāda knows, ‘He will protect me, no matter what. Even if He doesn’t protect me, what does it matter? I will go back to Him, I will always be with Him.’

The neophyte thinks self-centered, because they feel themselves are important. Therefore the Guru’s importance is there because the Guru is connected to me. So the neophytes tend to fight over the importance of who is serving their Guru. Because I am serving my Guru, the whole world stops and everybody should understand that.

Why Nobody Talks About Protecting Brāhmanas
