I think "there is critik and there is critik", or would you say that everything is one (critik)? Than I guess, your next thought would be that Srila Prabhupada was not "a cent per cent devotee" since his lectures and books are full of so caled "critik" on the society, so caled devotees and other people. What is your definition of critik wich does not contradict the "nindani sunya hridam" principle? > The kanishta and madhyama adhikaris do not have this qualification.

So all devotees in this conferences who "criticise" and don,t just follow like sheeps the party line have "a propensity to criticize" and are therefore "not complitely pure." Is it that wath you want to say by this? Ys, Harsi das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
