Fearlessness Through Spiritual Vision

When we see the spiritual basis of this material existence we become immediately free from all anxiety because we then are able to understand how everything is working in all times, places, and circumstances under the direction of the Supreme Person for the ultimate good. When, however, we do not see this spiritual basis we become caught up in the material dualities of heat and cold, pain and pleasure, wealth and poverty, sickness and health, birth and death, honor and dishonor, etc. Thus we suffer unnecessarily in so many ways. The way to develop that spiritual vision is to hear submissively from a person who is self-realized. Thus those who are self-realized compassionately broadcast the teachings of spiritual consciousness all over the world to relieve the suffering humanity from their countless anxieties. Unfortunately all too few people take advantage of their teachings.

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: Do I Need a Guru?

Do I need a guru in order to become spiritually awakened?

Oscar Saldain

Answer: God Says So

Yes, a guru is required, not because the guru says so, but because God says so. In the Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 4, Text 34 Lord Sri Krishna gives the following order:

tad viddhi praṇipātena
paripraśnena sevayā
upadekṣyanti te jñānaṁ
jñāninas tattva-darśinaḥ

TRANSLATION

“Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized souls can impart knowledge unto you because they have seen the truth.”

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
