Two very important verses for preaching

[Guest guest]

Q. Arjuna externally acted very cruelly by killing hundreds & thousands of

soldiers on the battlefield. Was it sin or devotional service?

 

A.

tatraiva srii-bhagavad-vaakyam

 

man-nimittam krtam paapam api dharmaaya kalpate

mam anaadrtya dharmo 'pi paapam syaan mat prabhaavatah

 

In the Padma Purana the Supreme Personality of Godhead said: If one sins

for My sake his sins become pious deeds. If one refuses to worship Me, then

by My power his pious deeds become sins.

 

yatah paadme

 

arir mitram visham pathyam adharmo dharmataam vrajet

su-prasanne hrsiikese vipariite viparyayah

 

In the Padma Purana it is said: When Lord Krishna is pleased, enemies can

become friends, poison can become healthy food, sin can become saintliness*.

Everything can become its opposite.
