IRM, ARE THEY HEARTLESS DEMONS ? |
So He
immediately chided him, that asocyan anvasocas tvam prajna-vadams
ca bhasase. "My dear Arjuna, you are talking just like a very
learned man, but you are fool number one." That was His first
words. Of course, He did not say directly "fool
number one," but He said indirectly that "No learned man
speaks like this, as you are speaking." That means, "You
are not learned man. You are fool." He indirectly said,
nanusocanti panditah. Pandita means learned. "No learned man
speaks like that. But because you are speaking like that, that
means you are not learned man. Or in one word, you are
fool."
(General
Lecture Montreal, June 26, 1968)
Even though
the Lord didn't directly call Arjuna a fool, He did still call him
a fool indirectly. Even if it is an indirect statement the Lord is
still calling Arjuna a fool and it is a fact that he was playing
that role.
Jagadisa:
Srila Prabhupada, can you tell us why you want to go on the
parikrama?
Bhakti-caru: (Bengali) (break) Prabhupada: ...good paddy. Tamala Krsna: This seems like suicide, Srila Prabhupada, this program. It seems to some of us like it's suicidal. Prabhupada: And this is also suicidal. Tamala Krsna: Hm. Prabhupada said, "And this is also suicide." Now you have to choose which suicide. Prabhupada: The Ravana will kill and Rama will kill. Better to be killed by Rama. Eh? That Marica--if he does not go to mislead Sita, he'll be killed by Ravana; and if he goes to be killed by Rama, then it is better.
(S.P.Room
Conversation November 10, 1977, Vrndavana)
Indirectly
Srila Prabhupada says "The Ravana will kill and Rama will
kill. Better to be killed by Rama." That means he is saying
it is better to be amongst my real disciples (good paddy) on
Parikrama and die there than stay with demons and be poisoned to
death.
In other words
with this above statement alone Srila Prabhupada is saying
he is been killed by demons. Only other similar heartless demons
with no love for Srila Prabhupada cannot hear him saying this.
