I find that my neighbors who really don't like me very much, expect me to live to a higher standard. I bought two cans of beer one to kill snails the other to try washing my hair ( it is supposed to make your hair very soft and manageable, alas it did not!) One of my insufferable holier than thou neighbors types was aghast to see me buy beer. "I though you Harry Crisners didn't drink" she huffed at me. I showed her the article in ladies home journal that espoused beer as a hair rinse. She announced "hah you can't fool me, you are a drunk! " I was laughing so hard I almost dropped my purchases. Then I told her that snails can be killed by leaving out dishes of beer for them. She was so furious and she was so funny, I was howling with laughter. The lady at the check out counter told her she had tried it after I had told her about it and it had solved her snail problem and that really pissed her off even more. Every one in the check out line was chuckling with mirth as that loud mouthed fool marched out. What made it really funny is that she had just bought two half gallon bottles of whisky and was telling the check out lady it was to calm her nerves.... Well, it will do that I will give her that! We are held to a higher standard I must agree. I was really quite proud of her for being upset with me. Her husband is a Preacher at a fundamentalist church. We should be an example. And should be held to a higher standard. I have had an opportunity to preach on several occasions when people have noticed I never buy meat or booze So I explain to them why and don't elaborate too much. The same woman has ask me dozens of questions over the last year an I have invited her to "church " for the Sunday free feast "perhaps next month she will go. So remember our words mean nothing because our actions are screaming so loudly most folks can't hear over our actions, so let them preach for you.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2000 Report Share Posted September 19, 2000 HARE KRSNA yes we as devoties and aspiring devoties have taken on the job directly or by affiliation the job of setting a good exhample to the world the genral population look up to someone as it is the nature of the soul to serve to love to show ore and reverance etc so we have this job weather we like it or not people expect us to live up to some standard even if we only go to the temple on sunday or once a year as initiated deciples (or ones who accept the message) we are ortherised to spread krsna conciousness all over the universe (if we can) some will give books etc but we all preach nowingly or un-nowlingy by exhample thats why we need places to demonstrate farming and grehasta life as well as temples with sanyasis and bramachareys both and every aspect of varna and ashram is needed to set an exhample to the people in general and to aspiring devoties we all fit into a varna and an ashram as well as our dharma as servents this is somthing i find myself that i am more eficiant doing what i like acording to my nature, i am shure you all now this but i just listend to a tape of srla Prabhupada talking about varna and ashram and wanted to relate what i herd as i would like to see more grehasta farm communites developing heare and there by for now GAURA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
