Guest guest Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Hare Krsna Know that all beautiful, glorious, and mighty creations spring from but a spark of My splendor. GITA 10:41 Any glorious or beautiful existence should be understood to be but a fragmental manifestation of Krsna's opulence, whether it be in the spiritual or material world. Anything extraordinarily opulent should be considered to represent Krsna's opulence. The one we consider a great soul (Mahatma), that one is a great soul only when he has completely detached himself from the body. His greatness is not from association with that body. A great soul is never restricted to the body. Therefore faith should only be in the eternal principles and vows of the great Soul (Mahatma), and not the perishable body or name. There is attachment associated with the perishable body and the name. Therefore worshipping, revering, glorifying the perishable, ever changing body, results in a waste of our lives, but also causes a major deceit and delusion in us. The greatness that we see any anyone (whether it be a Guru, a Saint, or anyone that we admire deeply, that greatness is not their own. It has come from God, even though we may believe that it is the greatness of the Guru, a Saint etc. Just like one who makes a sweet dish, the sweetness comes from the sugar, similarly, wherever you see something special, this specialness is God's only.
