Mayesvara! Shame on you!

[Guest guest]

Shame on you mayesvaraji!!! <br>While it is

perfectly acceptable to most here to request time to

respond to HONEST questions (i think the best of people),

it is uncalled for to point fingers at "The subject

matter of the absolute truth is not something that I am

inclined to banter about whimsically as it appears the

other members of this interest group are in the habit

of doing." Who are you speaking of and what makes

you believe it is whimsy that drives their postings?

{i hope you do not possess siddhi powers,

(ulp)!)<br><br>"it appears that many of you are resolute in your

current understanding and show little interest in

engaging in a serious philosophical discussion unless it

concurs with your current level of awareness." Are you

exempt from this accusation? It appears that you are of

the position' It is my way or the highway.' This is

only my opinion and i am not very bright

myself.<br><br>"The orthodox Shivite who wears only ashes and live in

solitude is not even slightly similar to the erudite

Vaishnava who writes profound literature to help guide the

conditioned soul back to Godhead." In fact there are many

shavite publications in this world today both ancient as

well as current. And yes, they (shavites) may wear

ashes, but not all are ascetics. The same is true for

vaishnavas of all the disciplic successions. Not all

vaishnavas are babajis meditating alone in bhajan kutirs as

you may well note. Personally, i am hard pressed to

find any literature from Gaurakisora Babaji who found

‘wannabe’ initiates so irritating to his bhajan that he

meditated inside an outhouse in order to avoid them. No, do

not misunderstand me though, i believe his bhava

sincere and without reproach. My point is that the search

for Godhead is not, like the universities, a "publish

or perish" environment. <br><br>"Such thoughts may

be comforting to the lazy or pseudo-spiritualist,

but they are absurd to even a common man what to

speak of an individual who is rigorous in his pursuit

of the absolute truth." There is, to my knowledge,

no pseudo-spiritualists within this forum and i can

assure you that they are by no means lazy. The rigorous

student observes a problem at all angles and does not

accept the authority of someone without performing his

or her own analysis within their hearts for its

validity.<br><br>Prabhuji! Lord Caitanya never spoke to the Mayavadi

sannyasis in the manner you spoke to this forum today. His

words and mannerisms were always pleasant and

respectful to the person despite His strongly disagreeing

with their doctrine. His honesty and humility were the

characteristics that provoked the masses to 'ask Him questions of

His joy and spiritual ecstasy.' Happiness is

contagious not philosophy. <br><br>The rest of us are just

'gradual-progressors' in our quest for God and this is nothing for

anyone in this forum to be ashamed of. You do remind us

that you have valuable information for the forum but

you add that those who resist it are ‘lazy’ or

‘pseudo.’ I am reminded of the great rishi Shakespeare, who

in the play Hamlet wrote "Rich gifts wax poor when

givers prove unkind." - Ophelia <br><br>om tat

sat<br><br>> - A fellow Krsna bhaktin<br><br>P.S. i corrected

your spelling mistakes, i hope you are not

offended.<br><br>P.S.S Friends! I leave you with a quote from

Mahabharata, "It is very difficult to understand the secret of

religion, but one who follows in the footsteps of the great

authorities, or mahajanas, will be successful." (Vana-parva

313.117) Dont give up!!!! Please!!
