In ISKCON it's our custom to favor the words of our Founder-Acarya. Of course, this is a custom to which not everyone need feel bound. And to put aside what Srila Prabhupada said, on the grounds that today he might say the opposite, is always an available strategy. >With due respect, but it seems that you would benefit greatly by >connecting more with your hearts compassion and softness for other >living entities, and bring these qualities in yourself out more, for >the welfare of all. Thank you for your concern for my benefit and the welfare of all. Hare Krsna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Haribol prabhuji, Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada. Thankyou for so much for that quote.... and shedding the bhakti light on this subject. yhs, Kanti dasi In a message dated 4/15/2005 3:50:41 AM Eastern Standard Time, sita.jacob (AT) onlinehome (DOT) de writes: "Those who think that devotion to God and kindness to the jivas are mutually different from each other, and perform accordingly in their life, such persons will not be able to follow the devotional culture. Their performance is only a semblance of devotion. "Therefore, all the types of beneficence to others, like kindness, friendliness, forgiveness, charity, respect, etc. are included in Bhakti... Charity of medicines, clothes, food, water, etc. shelter during adversities, teaching of academic and spiritual education, etc. are the activities included in the devotional culture" (Bhaktivinoda Thakura, Sri Tattva-sutram, 35) your servant Sita dd.
