At least you are sailing away from that "zombi" argument "It was

not instructed by Prabhupada". Otherwise, I would be able to write

you the whole checklist book of possible ways of wasting time, that

hardly anybody in this ISCKON could be passing successfully. Especially

when one is put on a wall to be compared with Naradaji or Pariksit

Maharaja.

 

Are you really in such deep illusion to think that everybody here

is unaware how "kicking a ball" is not really a pure devotional

service, hence a waste of time? You seem to got that deeper insights

of how to be executing a pure life of a mahabhagavata style that none

else have ever heard about here.

 

Can you simply understand that people are not mahabhagavatas, and

that some will still like to get out on a field sometimes and kick

a stupid ball with a stupid foot? Really, who does bother what you

have read in Srimad bhagavatam how Narada Muni has never kicked

a ball in his life.

I really don't bother myself how they will diagnoze what. I just

happen to see for myself some crazines and medness around disgusied

in "Prabhupada instructed so; Prabhupada did not instruct it". I guess

it must be just me being crazy myself or otherise I would see just all

pure and sweet Krsna consiousness devotees passing down the nectar

of Srimad-bhagavatam all the time onto others heads.

 

And you perhaps better not be trying to impress others with your

shastric knowledge of "simply become a dog of the spiritual master".

You appear to have no idea what some of us might have undergone in

our lives in ISCKON. Too many gurus in ISCKON have deserted and

left their dogs tooling painfully. To become a *dog* of a guru

in ISCKON may be at the moment for many the most stupid thing to

do (again) in life. Please, stop rubbing our noses with "our puny

independence" and "guru's dog" demagogy. Too many have already got

mentally and emotionally screwed up with it. No need of any

professional psychiatrist, sociologist, scholars, etc. to "diagnose".

Everybody may see it. Unless the eyes are shut tightly.

 

 

But, what this "dog of the guru" has anyway to do with our

sanity to find it our for ourselves wether "to kick a damn ball

or not to kick a damn ball"?
