VYASA PUJA MEDITATION |
"But be victorious to the opposing elements. Then you
will
praise your Guru Maharaja nicely....But you have to fight. Then your Guru Maharaja will be glorified."
Hamsaduta: It'd make a good article.
Prabhupada: Eh? Hamsaduta: It would make a good article, what you've just spoken. Prabhupada: So write. Harikesa: You so completely destroy the opposition, it's very hard to say anything more. Prabhupada: Yes. That you have to prove. You can eulogize your Guru Maharaja, but you have to learn it and face the public and be strong to defend yourself. That is success. Not by praising your Guru Maharaja. You'll praise your Guru Maharaja. That is not very difficult. But be victorious to the opposing elements. Then you will praise your Guru Maharaja nicely. At home, you can praise your Guru Maharaja, and Guru Maharaja be satisfied, "Oh, my disciples are praising me." That is not very.... That is good. Respectful. That is the qualification. But you have to fight. Then your Guru Maharaja will be glorified.
[Srila Prabhupada Morning
Walk and Conversation on Roof, December 26, 1975, Sanand]
Note: So we have to understand
that
Prabhupada’s Bullock Cart Tirthasthana
FINAL ORDER is THE THE REAL WAY to fight against the
demons of the world. We can individually sit at home or
visit our local temple and give some praise to Prabhupada,
that is good. But if we all come together and release a
brahmastra of Prabhupada's Love of Godhead from Vrindavan,
such fighting will actually make us victorious against the
Illuminati. THEN PRABHUPADA WILL BE PRAISED VERY NICELY!!!!
BUT FIGHTING MUST BE
THERE
"Those who are
opposing Krsna consciousness
movement, we have to fight with them to our best capacity. Never mind if we are defeated" So our this movement is based on practical activity. Whatever talent you have got, whatever little strength you have got, education you have got... You haven't got to learn anything. Whatever you have got, in whatever position you are, you can serve Krsna. Not that you have to learn something first and then you can serve. No. The service itself is learning. The more you try to render service, the more you become advanced how to become experienced servant. We don't require any extra intelligence. Otherwise... The example is gaja-yutha-paya. The elephant, the king of the elephants, he satisfied. He's an animal. He's not a brahmana. He's not a Vedantist. Maybe very big, fatty animal, but after all, he's animal. Hanuman was animal. There are many such things. Jatayu was a bird. So how they satisfied? The Jatayu fought with Ravana. Yesterday you saw. Ravana was kidnapping Sita devi, and Jatayu, the bird, he was going, flying. Ravana knew how to fly without machine. He was very, very materially powerful. So the Jatayu attacked him on the sky: "Who are you? You are taking away Sita. I shall fight you." So Ravana was very powerful. He was defeated, Jatayu, but he fought. That is his service. Never mind defeated. Similarly, we have to fight. Those who are opposing Krsna consciousness movement, we have to fight with them to our best capacity. Never mind if we are defeated. That is also service. Krsna sees the service. Defeated or victorious, depend on Krsna. But fighting must be there. Karmany evadhikaras te ma phalesu kadacana. That is the meaning. You have to work for Krsna sincerely, intelligently, and victory or defeat, it doesn't matter. Just like Jatayu was defeated fighting with Ravana. His wings were cut off. Ravana was very strong. And Lord Ramacandra, He did his last funeral ceremonies because he was a devotee. This is the process, not that we have to learn something extra. Whatever capacity we have got, let us decide to render service to the Lord. [Srimad-Bhagavatam 7.9.9 Mayapur, March 1, 1977] |
