But there's a nagging little example or two which come directly from our sastra Srimad-Bhagavatam. Prahada Maharaja, a mahajana, was preaching to his classmates *not* to waste time in play. Narada Muni tells that as boy he did not waste time in sports. Pariksit Maharaja is described similarly. These are examples to be glorified, not condemned.

But that's how he is going to be perceived by the world if we keep >misusing his name in our own sick needs to instruct to the people about any possible >and impossible thing in their lives that they are allowed or not allowed to perform >because, see, "Prabhupada did not instruct it". Crazy. Many think exactly as you do, prabhu. But the great souls pray that they may *give up* their puny independence to simply become the "dog of the spiritual master." Now we need not wonder how the psychiatrists, sociologist, scholars, etc. will diagnose someone who desires to become the *dog* of another person!--or do we? Chant Hare Krsna (become brainwashed) and your life will be sublime!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many schools of thought within psychology and sociology, that you could probably find quotes to support pretty much any point you wanted to make there too.
