Guest guest Posted February 1, 2000 Report Share Posted February 1, 2000 Your only qualification for being on the cow conference is you are full of bull. Poison to be more exact. Bull would be to pure a word. You're right there, bull and poison are definitely not synonyms, bull is symbol of religious principles. Religious principles include truth and are represented by the four legs of the bull, of which in Kali Yuga, only truthfullness is remaining. It is our only good quality left...the unpleasant facts I brought up, are part of my resolve to be truthful, as it is factual, has happened within my own personal experience, and needs to be addressed. Of course, the more unpleasant the facts are, the more urgently they need to be addressed, would you not agree? And when we take into account the topic, designing a varnasrama cell, wouldn't it be important to take into account our past mistakes in order that we not repeat them? Srila Prabhupada said that devotees always speak the truth (satyam) even though that truth may not always be palatable (Priyam) It is a sattvic principle to learn from our mistakes: by tolerating this unpleasant "poison" in the beginning by facing facts, we are assured the "nectar" solution will be at the end, which simply means we will be better off. Or does it work another way? ____ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
