That means, in practial life, that you can not be sure of any ISKCON Guru, until he left his body, and is declared all bonafied of similar persons who are also bona fide and left their bodies without falling down. For sure some more of the ISKCON leadership will fall down, but when they do they were eternally cheaters, which means that they cannot be trusted now either. Since we don't know who is going to fall down, and who is not going to, how can we know who to trust? A hopeless situation where you cannot trust anyone. Obviously there must be a flaw in the reasoning and a way out of this deadlock. Spriritual life is not supposed to be a gamble. ys Prisni dasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
