Guest guest Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Thank you Prabhu, for this important quote.We see that so many devotees prematurely imagine to be in the mood of gopis without crosing the neccesarily purification. Also the point that even one has such a great post of a leader doesnt immediately qualify him for a pure devotee, so that he has not to forget his own sadhana to get more purified to attain the level of the gopis seems to be an important one. > Satsvarupa: But Lord Brahma, he's a prajapati. > Prabhupada: He is the chief prajapati. > Satsvarupa: Isn't he a pure devotee? > Prabhupada: No. > Satsvarupa: And yet he composed the Brahma-samhita. > Prabhupada: Yes, he is devotee, not to the topmost extent. > Tamala Krsna: Sometimes we hear that Lord Brahma incarnated as Thakura > Haridasa. > Prabhupada: Yes. > Satsvarupa: Sometimes devotees say, "Then how come he's the head of our > sampradaya if he's not a pure devotee?" > Prabhupada: It doesn't require.
