POISONING MENTION

[Guest guest]

Analysis of mentioning of poisoning by Srila Prabhupada in Vrindavan

1977:

 

For immediate circulation

 

 

Take an example, a parent has kids. With one of the kids, the parent

is having to deal with a very misbehaved and disrespectful kid. The

other kid serves/respects. Should the good kid let the bad kid

misbehave with the parent? Obviously the parent loves both kids and

if the bad kid is misbehaving with the parent, the loving

relationship parent will probably just accept it because of the

love. If the good kid tries to intervene to correct the bad kid the

parent may not allow this to happen as the short-tempered bad kid may

fight with the good kid.

 

Srila Prabhupada may be just did not therefor ask for direct

intervention when poisoning was mentioned because there might have

been serious and immediate fighting repurcussions but mentioned

poison in a 'by the way' method. This may have been so that there

would not be immediate fighting repurcussions but the message would

be recorded without suspicion for posterity for all to hear and also

for forthcoming help to arrive to him without disturbance or

knowledge of the perpetrators.
