Global Conflict Resolution in the Age of Conflict

I was recently invited to speak on global conflict resolution at the University of Texas in Austin, Texas, USA. Due to already having a lecture booked in Vail, Colorado on the same day I had to decline the invitation. This topic is most important because the present age of Kali, in which we are so deeply immersed, is the age of conflict. Conflict pervades the society on all levels. Persons and nations cannot get along peacefully with each other. Atrocities that were formerly unthinkable have practically become a daily affair in today's conflict torn world. There is so much fear now that you cannot even carry water anymore on an airline flight because the authorities are afraid that it might be some kind of explosive liquid. The scenario is not improving. In all likelihood things will continue getting worse.

Solution to Terror: Make God the Center of Our Existence

What is the solution for such conflict? If you throw your rock in a pond and I throw my rock in the same pond, the waves from our respective rocks will eventually clash with each other. But if we each throw our rock in exactly the same spot, there will be no conflict. There will instead be perfect harmony. So we all must "throw our rocks" in exactly the same spot. This will bring true peace and harmony.

The common central point for all living beings is the original source of all energies, that source from whom we all emanate. That common and original source is God.

Therefore if we want to end all local and global conflict we must all make God the center of our very existence. Actually He already is. The difficulty is that we have forgotten this. All we have to do to end all the conflicts throughout the world is to always be conscious of God. The science of how to do that is known as Krishna consciousness. This science must be taught throughout the entire world so that everyone becomes expert in this science.

Answers According to the Vedic Version

Question: Difference Between Mind and Intelligence...

I am surprised to learn that the mind and intelligence are two different things. But what is that difference? How to recognize one from the other? Thank you. Love always.

Tommi

Answer: Feeling and Deliberation...

The mind is the instrument for feeling different material experiences, and intelligence is the deliberative instrument which ponders the pros and cons of a thing and can change everything for the better.

Now you must use you intelligence to fully understand what is this sublime science of Krishna consciousness. If you do so, you will find it to be strikingly wonderful.

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

Image
In his purport to Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 6, Text 24 Srila Prabhupada wonderfully teaches us the power of determinations by telling us the story of the little sparrow who conquered the ocean: "As for determination, one should follow the example of the sparrow who lost her eggs in the waves of the ocean. A sparrow laid her eggs on the shore of the ocean, but the big ocean carried away the eggs on its waves. The sparrow became very upset and asked the ocean to return her eggs. The ocean did not even consider her appeal. So the sparrow decided to dry up the ocean. She began to pick out the water in her small beak, and everyone laughed at her for her impossible determination. The news of her activity spread, and at last Garuda, the gigantic bird carrier of Lord Visnu, heard it. He became compassionate toward his small sister bird, and so he came to see the sparrow. Garuda was very pleased by the determination of the small sparrow, and he promised to help. Thus Garuda at once asked t...

Heart Melting Reunion with Amarendra and Gayatri

Image
On Friday 26 June 2015 I was blessed with the greatest good fortune of meeting with two of the dearest devotees of my entire life, His Grace Amarendra Prabhu and his good wife, Srimati Gayatri devi dasi. I am eternally indebted to these great souls for how much they helped me in my spiritual life when I was a young devotee. When I was young brahmacari monk in 1973 I joined with the two of them in Gainesville, Florida. We were a three person preaching center, and they were just like a mother and father to me. I had so many wonderful Krishna conscious experiences in their association that I can hardly begin to describe them here. But at least may it suffice for me to say for now that Gayatri taught me what it means to be a soft-hearted devotee of the Lord and she gave me my first cooking lesson, teaching me how to make cauliflower pakoras, and Amarendra taught me the art of how to preach strongly, intelligently, and coolly to defeat opposing arguments. Recently Gayatri almost died. But ...
