Many of Our Readers Objected to Yesterday's Thought for the Day

There was a huge wave of protest when yesterday when I objected to a famous person's declaration that everyone is God. It's not that we hate anyone. We have love and respect for everyone. But when someone preaches something which is untrue it is our duty to point it out so that people are not misled. The false idea that we are all God will keep us here in this material existence birth after birth because we are not God. Instead we are the eternal servants of God. This is why the Bhagavad-gita teaches us that we should fully surrender ourselves unto Krishna. It's only when we do this that we can become liberated from the cycle of birth and death and go back to our original home in the Spiritual Sky.

Answer: We Only Repeat God's Judgement

My Dear Kieran,

I hope that you do not misunderstand.

When the newspaper reporter writes that someone is a murderer it is not his judgement. He is simply repeating what the judge and jury have decided. So when a devotee says that someone is a rascal it is not his declaration. He is simply reporting what is the judgement of Lord Sri Krishna, Who declares in Bhagavad-gita:

avajānanti māṁ mūḍhā
mānuṣīṁ tanum āśritam
paraṁ bhāvam ajānanto
mama bhūta-maheśvaram

"Fools deride Me when I descend in the human form. They do not know My transcendental nature as the Supreme Lord of all that be."
—Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 9, Text 11

I hope this meets you in the best of health. 

Your ever well-wisher,
Sankarshan Das Adhikari
