Don't Forget. The Smallest Action Can Change the World

Don't forget. The smallest, most seemingly insignificant action if based on transcendental vision can set off a chain of events to completely transform the course of universal history. Therefore you should always stay focused on thinking, speaking, and acting in that way which will be most pleasing to Krishna at every moment. If you will always in this way remain the humble servant of Guru and Gauranga, they will utilize you as their instrument for bringing about the greatest paradigm shift in the history of the universe, the respiritualization of the entire human society.

Question: How Can Be Sure That We Won't Fall Again?

Regarding the 25 May 2015 Question and Answer and I have a question. If we all were in the spiritual world with Krishna and because of our free will we were sent to earth, how can we be so sure that we will not return back to this material world after going home back to Godhead?

By serving Krishna and Radharani, we are preparing ourselves to go home back to Godhead either in this life or the next. But because of our free will, will we be sent back to this material world again? I might as well consider that we are fortunate to be in this material world and this is the only time we have to enjoy. Why worry if we are going to come back again and there is no guarantee of not returning back?

I don't mean to ridicule anybody but I think it is very crucial for me to understand our scriptures so that I would be ready to answer such questions if it comes my way during preaching process.

Your Servant

Answer: "Once burned, I learned."

"Once burned, I learned." When the jiva experiences the hell of material life and goes back to Godhead he will have learned his lesson well and will not fall down again. This is why Krishna declares that those who return back to Godhead do not fall again.

It is not that we are sent to the material world against our will. We desired a place where we could try to enjoy separately from Krishna, and He simply facilitated our desire.

How can you be so foolish to think that you are fortunate to be in this miserable material world?

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 ...
