Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 hare krishna i have read that krishna is the destroyer of all materialistic desires--first he destroyes the "I",then the material wealth and then even gives trials and tribulations to his devotees and only then it is possible to realize him------- i have heard some spiritual teachers in India comment that for material well being also call other deities Does it mean that krishna first renders his devotees paupers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Krishna uses many methods to bring his devotees closer to Him. In most cases, the devotee chooses to give up his material wealth to serve Krishna. Krishna doesn't want to make his devotees suffer. The true devotee realizes that his material hankerings are the actual cause of suffering, so he decides to give them up voluntarily.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 krishna first takes away your wealth so that you can love Him. Correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Krishna knows what is best for you....if He thinks taking away your wealth will make you love him, then He will do so. If He thinks giving you more wealth will make you love Him, then He will provide it accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
