krsna Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 HARMONISTS CALL SADHUS SECTARIAN "The only duty of sadhus is to cut away all the accumulated wicked propensities of every individual. This alone is the causeless natural desire of all the sadhus. Worldly people possess a double nature. They express one kind of sentiment but internally cherish a different purpose. Moreover they want to advertise this duplicity as a mark of liberalism or love of harmony. Those who are unwilling to show any duplicity, wish to be frank and straightforward, or in other words to exercise unambiguously the function of the soul; such really sincere persons are called sectarian and orthodox by those who practice duplicity. We will cultivate the society only of those who are straightforward. We will not keep company with any person who is not so. We must by all means avoid bad company. We are advised to keep at a distance of one hundred cubits from animals of the horned species. We should observe the same caution in regard to all insincere persons." (Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur Prabhupada, Search for Truth) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
