Let's Get Spiritual

It is utterly pathetic to see how much the conditioned souls are caught up in the material energy. Even if we approach them with a Bhagavad-gita they have absolutely no interest whatsoever to even stop for a second to hear about it. They are so much covered by passion and ignorance that all they can think about is material sense gratification. Yesterday (22 August 2015) while distributing Bhagavad-gitas on South Congress Avenue in Austin, Texas one young woman I approached with a Gita was scantily dressed in shorts and a tank top which read "Let's Get Physical", which is another way of saying, "Let's Have Sex." Feeling sorry for this poor deluded soul who is completely enamored by material sense gratification I immediately offered her the Krishna conscious positive alternative, "Let's Get Spiritual." But she ignored me and continued walking down the sidewalk. Such ignorance and misfortune is sadly typical of everyone in this fallen age of Kali and is dragging them all down to the animal kingdom in their next births. Therefore we must be compassionate upon them and dedicate our lives for saving them by educating them in the transcendental science of Krishna consciousness.

Question: Rules Are Meant to Be Broken?

When preaching to the people about the four rules and regulations, they say, "Rules are meant to be broken". How can we argue against that?

Answer: My Rule Defeats Your Rule

Tell them that you accept their argument. That is why you are breaking the rule that rules are meant to be broken by the following the ultimate rule which defeats all other rules, namely to always remember Krishna and never forget Him. Tell them that your rule is perfect and undefeatable and that their rule is imperfect and easily defeated. In fact, it simply cancels itself out.
