Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Tomorrow's Event: Srila Jagannatha Dasa Babaji -- Disappearance; Sri Rasikananda -- Disappearance PRABHUPADA'S QUOTE OF THE DAY " A man has served the family with heart and soul throughout the whole life, and when he is old man, if he asks permission from his wife, " My dear wife, now I have served so much. Let me take sannyasa now, " the wife will never give permission. She will say, " What you have done? This son is not yet settled up; this daughter is not yet married. How you can take sannyasa? So you cannot do. " So actually, he is the servant of the wife, but he is thinking, " I am master of the family. " This is called maya. " Bombay, February 24, 1975 -- Take advantage of this rare opportunity of this human form of life. There are 8,400,000 different species of life through which we are rotating lifetime after lifetime. So getting a human body is not an every day affair. This most auspicious opportunity only comes after many millions of lifetimes in the lower species. Anyone who does not utilize their human life for self-realization is making the greatest mistake. When this happens it is the greatest tragedy, and unfortunately today this neglect of the human form has become the standard behavior for the entire human society. What can be done? We must first ourselves become solidly situated in Krishna consciousness and then do the highest welfare activity of spreading to everyone else all over the world.
