Guest guest Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 WITHOUT LOVE OF GOD EVERYTHING IS USELESS There is no goal other than pure love, which mocks the four goals of life and conquers the Lord’s lotus feet. Religiosity, economic development, sense gratification and liberation are known as the four goals of life, but before love of Godhead, the fifth and highest goal, these appear as insignificant as straw in the street. ” [sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said:] Without love of Godhead, My life is useless. Therefore I pray that You accept Me as Your servant and give Me the salary of ecstatic love of God. — Cc. antya 20.37. Gaining the wealth of love of Godhead, one again and again acts as a madman. Without that love the nine processes of devotional service to Lord Mukunda bring no happiness. They become like vegetables without salt, a feast without hunger, scripture-study without understanding, or orchards without fruit. —. Those who spend their time engaged in devotion to Lord Hari are really alive, whereas those who are devoid of devotion to Hari are factually dead and undone. All creatures, even mosquitoes, flies, crows, as well as millions and millions of different kinds of insects also lead their lives engaged in eating, sleeping, mating, procuring etc. If human beings also lead lives of gross sense enjoyment devoid of devotion to Krishna, then they are no better than those insects. Hari-bhakti-sudhodoya 17.51-52. As random digging in the earth where there is no buried treasure is a waste of time, and as by pounding husk no grain can be gotten, similarly for those who do not culture devotion to Krishna their every act is in vain. Hari-bhakti-sudhodoya 19.36. To hell with our birth as brahmanas! To hell with our learning of Vedic literatures! To hell with our performing sacrifice and observing the rules and regulations of scripture! To hell with our families! To hell with it all, for as a result of these we have become opposed to loving the blessed Supreme Lord, who is beyond the speculation of our body, mind, and senses. — Bhag. /images/graemlins/smile.gif10.23.40.
