krsna Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 I find it so painful to associate with other people devotee and non-devotee alike. It's just that I don't want to keep up appearances anymore. I amm suffering in this material world and I want to get out of the mess I'm in so I don't want to waste time I simply want to fix my mind on Guru and Krishna and leave my body in trance. I've had enough of -How do you do?-type of questions and asociation When the end of this body is staring me in the face every morning...

krsna Posted March 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 That's the feeling To just shut myself up with no more dealing with the nasty world of duplicity,falseness and hypocrisy. I want to go to Krishna His ,the Lord's association via the pure devotee's medium. Nothing small or mean but true and simple That soothing balm on the heart that association which edifies,enlightens and with grace and compassion bring me to want to offer myself completely at the Lotus feet of Sri Guru and Sri Gouranga. krsnadas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Govindaram Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Letter to: Hamsaduta -- Tittenhurst 28 September, 1969 (excerpt) Srila Prabhupada: In the neophyte stage the position is that the neophyte devotee worships the Deity in the temple with great awe and reverence, but he cannot discriminate who is devotee, who is non-devotee and who is neophyte. ===== HarI says it all really doesn't it, I keep thinking of Krishna as my Friend, when I should be in awe and reverence 'stage'.

gHari Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 I too go through those 'latrine' phases as I call them. Then you end up blowing the fast by singing Krsna's names at the top of your lungs when you least expect it. I wouldn't get too upset about these moods. People can be a real pain in the persistency at times. And that includes even our fellow Fellowshippers; but then when the dust has settled, what would we do without them?

Dervish Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 I don't think there is any problem with picking your association carefully, as long as you pay respect to all Vaishnavas you encounter. It may be more lonely that way, but what to do? The material world is quite awful, not for a gentleman as Bhaktisiddhanta says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
