Any feedback?

[Guest guest]

at least you should try to think before you speak

 

for Krsna says - every one follows my path in all respects oh arjuna

knowingly or unknowingly

 

so they all have met Krsna

 

funny thing

 

that is what is so great about Krsna

he will never interfere with your free will but will try to help you see

the light from those who know

 

should you be willing to take advice

 

when the disciple is ready the guru will appear

 

the ostrich may hide his head in the sand and claim there is no sun but the

truth is self-evident

I always thought of BTG as a magazine for the public, though perhaps I am

wrong.

 

I haven't read the article, so I can't really be sure how they said this,

but you can imagine what the public would interpret from an article saying

devotees are the best everyone else is bad. For them, the understanding of

grades of devotees, pure devotees, etc., may not be that clear. When they

see you saying devotees are the best, they understand that you are talking

about yourself, not about four or five pure devotees who were acharyas.

 

For a magazine meant for public distribution (which includes in recent times

the life members), such statements may not be the best way to preach.
