1. If you find faults with others, You are digging your own Grave of spiritual life.
2. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu becomes very pleased with somebody who doesn’t find fault with devotees and chants Hare Krishna. But if you find fault, then no one knows what your future holds.
Simply sitting in mouse holes and criticizing others will not work. There are many things which are making so much sound like radios, televisions. All should be utilized for preaching purpose.
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.”
Acharyas said, “Don’t change what has been taught to you. If you change, then everything will be finished”.
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.
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.
1. Somebody asked Srila Prabhupada why so many are leaving? Prabhupada said,“You should be surprise if someone stays. It is not easy to stay because you have to stay pure.
2. Whatever you do, if purity is gone, character is gone, then everything is gone.
Aim of life is to get eternal bliss, cinmaya-ananda.
Check deep within your heart! There is an ocean of love for Krishna which you had locked since many lifetimes.
What comes in the mind means that you have attachment to that.
