krsna Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 "Srila Bhaktsiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura says that a devotee does not care about his own happiness or distress; he is simply interested in seeing that Krishna is happy, and for that purpose he engages in various activities. A pure devotee has no way of sensing happiness except by seeing that Krishna is happy in every respect. <font color="red"> If Krishna becomes happy by giving him distress, such a devotee accepts that unhappiness as the greatest of all happiness. </font color> Those who are materialistic, however, who are proud of material wealth and have no spiritual knowledge, like the prakrta-sahajiyas, regard their own happiness as the aim of life. Some of them aspire to enjoy themselves by sharing the happiness of Krishna. This is the mentality of the fruitive workers who want to enjoy sense gratification by making a show of service to Krishna."

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Who are we to allow Krishna for Him to give us pain and sufferings. I feel that even to go to the highest level of renunciation, of leaving everything, one needs the Mercy of Krishna and when this is the case, where is the question of "we allowing krishna to torture us".
