And I see the *congregation* as the real basis for possible development of VAD. That is ISCKON also. Forget temples and the GBC. They will NOT make VAD for you. They can't. The congregation can. The required potential is there. Not in the temple. And they do it, little by little. It's nothing too late to change. (don't let me, a notorious cynic, telling you something like that) > > I am talking about setting up a system that allows young people to grow up > acording to their nature, in the way Srila Prabhupada suggests will be > good for them. Then you are talking about not a temple, but the entire well-organized society with VAD as the operating system. However, we have already concluded that: - There is 25 years 6 months 3 days and 12 hours and 54 minutes that such a system has not yet been established by the GBC. So shall we move now further on from that "positivism", in this conference? > > > They apparently use their own brains > > in how to conduct their lifes, both materially and spiritually.

For those who got a brain, best they don't use it until they find a bona fide guru. And for those who have found a bona fide guru, well, best to not use their own brain, but to simply follow instructions. The conclusion -- it is brainless to use own brain in any case - mnd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
