From my perspective at least I welcome your refreshing confidence in the virtues of cow protection. That's also how it came accross to me... Don't doubt too much, dear Ram Prasad. Just keep your heart in the right place. << it is clear that Srila Prabhupada wanted to change the entire paradigm, and introduce varnasrama, maybe we could call it neo-varnasrama. Varnasrama in the here and now as an *alternative* to the demonic society we live in that has zero respect for cows. Yes, when the dung-tank is full, you empty it to fertilize the fields. The whole thing really stinks as it is now... just saw on the television how the poor farmers in Mongolia are dying, simply because their whole herd of animals (their sole means of life-support) are dying due to the severe cold holding on for months now. (before they had a terrible drought) There's nothing to eat, no help, nowhere to go, no future... just corpses all around. And the pigs in Moscow and Washington are making more fuss about politics & economics. They won't give a fuck... just screw everything up and give others the blame... ignorance all around... and they think it's bliss ! Fuck them !! <<To me this means getting down and dirty on the land with the cows themselves. When we get onto the cows wavelength (Krsna Himself spent a lot of time on their vibrational level in Vraja), Yes ! Cow-bells, flute, the cows' gentle breathing, 'cudding' and mooing... This is the real enjoyment (the cream on the milk as they say)! and what to speak of doing all that hard work to satisfy the Lord (to get the milk and protect the cows). << Really protection means family protection. When they are part of the family, it becomes second nature. That is when we recognise them for the wealth they bring, it becomes a direct tangible reality, not necesarily in monetary terms. Yes, this was a very nice one, Samba ! And it actually is the real satisfaction. The money you might draw from it is just secondary... <<I think we have to do more than stand with Him, WE have to fight, yes, fight not 'for our right to party'(as one bunch of wild kids used to put it), but to fullfill our Godgiven duty to do His will and overcome our conditionings. <<Its dead simple really, maybe a bit too simple for folks that prefer pre-packaged supermarket life, and I think that is the main problem. Well, it's not all that simple, as a Godgiven thing it is indeed simple. But this whole demoniac scheme has just made a simple thing into a difficult one, and poison to taste like nectar. Hell is burning, and we're in the middle of it, isn't it ? dirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
