In the land known as Bharatvarsa, even if one is “sarva kama bhakta,” thats a new kind of bhakta. “Sarva kama bhakta” is described as devotee seeking the fulfillment of some material desires, he is freed from all material desires by his association with devotees and ultimately he becomes a pure devotee and returns home, back to Godhead without difficulty.
One who is envious, he can’t be pure.
Due to previous samskaras, one may be expert in some kind of activities, but purity is a different thing.
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.
Many people do devotional service but commit offenses to other devotees. Then bhakti gets reduced.”
Don’t criticise other devotees. It hurts Krishna.
Always think positive. Never think negative. No one is the cause of our sufferings. Only our karmas are the cause. So we must tolerate also.
For coming to satoguna, take satvic prasadam and rise up early.
Prabhupada says, “speak what i have said. This is preaching. You are not the preacher. I am the preacher. You simply repeat my words”.
You must set up example. Then you can teach.
