Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 >Naturally we are not here to discuss our personal preferences, but the >philosophy. What is the use of a philosophy with no connection to our reality? When I say, "We have no interest in Vishnu bhakti...", it is a lie. The truth maybe that our acharyas, who are liberated souls, are not interested in Vishnu bhakti due to their complete absorption in Krishna bhakti. But our personal situation and their situation is different. It is illusion to fool ourselves into thinking we have gone beyond Vaikuntha, while still maintaining material attachments. Thus the attempt to discourage Vishnu bhakti in those who have not developed true transcendental attachment to Krishna is counter productive to their spiritual advancement. Remember that this discussion began about a practical application of prayer in regards to ourselves, not the liberated acharyas. Thus it is pointless to speak from the liberated emotional perspective they were in, while applying it on ourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
