Inviting Maya

 

Srila Prabhupada told his western disciples, “you have 3 main defects –

1. You are very restless. You change everything
2. You are not much afraid of maya
3. You allow too much free mixing between opposite genders.”

Material Desires

We should ask ourselves, am I the speaker? If you think I want some credit from speaking then you are not the speaker. You are dancing and chanting in front the deity, if you think of people to see, think of name, fame, adoration then you are not really chanting. This is not the example shown by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and His associates.

Deceiving Oneself

You cannot cheat pure devotees. You can only cheat yourself. This is not material life. Oh, I will be cunning! I will cheat them! This is spiritual life. You are cheating yourself. Sad-guru knows what is best for you. He has no interest of his own.
