Guest guest Posted August 9, 1997 Report Share Posted August 9, 1997 > SB 4.20.4: > > Lord Visnu is telling to Prithu Maharaja: "If a personality like > you, who are so much advanced because of executing the instructions > of the previous acaryas, is carred away by the influence of My > material energy, then all your advancement may be considered simply > a waste of time." > In the impossible case of Maharaj Prthu being carried away by the external energy, it makes sense for the Lord to say that since He is challenging him to become perfected. In the case of us, who are so conditioned and not at all near the exalted platform of Prthu Maharaj who is a saktyavesa avatara (palana -- protection), if we by chance fall down then our advancement will remain with us, as it does with everyone. > Many times I was explaining that there is nothing to lose even if > we'll fall down after executing devotional service for sometime. It > is said that even a small advancement on this pass will remain with > us despite of all circumstances. Could you please comment on that?
