Question: Our Minds Delude Us

Are or are not our minds being trained to see if we are progressing in Krishna consciousness? I am wondering this because the mind sometimes allures us to forget Krishna. If we do not have determination, in the morning the mind makes us believe that sleep is very nice.

Sometimes I want to do everything for pleasure of Krishna and sometimes I forget this. So, how can we remain stable always in loving Krishna.

Answer: Control Your Mind With Your Intelligence

It is intelligence, not the mind, which we train to analyze whether or not we are progressing in Krishna consciousness. The uncontrolled mind is the worst enemy of the living being impelling him to engage in activities such as oversleeping which karmically oblige him to take birth as a bear in his next life. This is why one has to bring the mind under the control of his intelligence. The intelligence is like the mother and the mind is like the child. A child who runs wild not obeying his mother will certainly get into all kinds of trouble. Such is the fate of one whose mind is uncontrolled. A devotee becomes stable when he always intelligently analyzes whether or not his mind is properly engaged in Krishna consciousness and disciplines his mind by bringing it back o Krishna whenever he sees that it is going off the track.

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

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

Who is this Krishna?

Image
Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
