I have
several times explained to you. The human being is distinct from
animal life in this way, that animal, they do not know what is
the aim of life. The human life is meant for realizing,
self-realization. If any civilization, that is checking
people's progress in the matter of self-realization, that is the
most virulent type of violence because people are being checked
from the natural advancement of life. This human life
is the point when one has to end all the miseries of material
existence. That is the aim of human life. If people are not
educated to that light, if people are misled in other
ways, that is the greatest violence committed to the population.
And according to the scripture, they are called atma-han.
Atma-han means the greatest violence committed to the
population. And according to the scripture, they are called
atma-han. Atma-han means suicidal, suiciding........ Either he
is personally committing suicide or any civilization which is
checking this process, that is also violent, the most
virulent type of violence, because people are misled.
So this is the idea of the scriptures, that human life should be
utilized only for spiritual self-realization.
(Bhagavad-gita
Lecture 3.21-25 New York, May 30, 1966)
Note: Srila
Prabhupada has come to teach the population of the world the
real goal of life, namely self realization. So these apa-Iskcon
demons who change his books and these greedy Turley demons
who blaspheme his saintly character are performing the
most virulent type of violence by misleading human society.
Not only are
the people of the world being checked from self realization
by being denied Srila Prabhupada's original transcendental
books. Now their eternal saviour is being presented as the
leader of a child molester cult !
It is also
interesting to note that when devotees bring up quotes such as:
If you are always remembering Him by your activities and seeing Krishna everywhere, even in the heart of the demonic persons, then anger will never overcome you, being purified of all false pride. But occasionally if there is good reason, you may have to become angry just to chastise the evil doers and blasphemers. We have seen that Lord Caitanya once nearly killed Jaghai and Madhai for their offenses to His devotee, so like that, if there is offensive behavior to the pure devotees you may become like Nrsinghadeva and punish them severely. (S.P. Letter Niranjan, 8/29/72) Puranjana dasa and the other PADA Guru-tyagi's say that to present such quotes which describe righteous religious violence is fanatical or apa-GBC tactics, but the most virulent type of violence being performed by the Turley Lawsuit they are tolerant of. In fact they consider this very powerful and dangerous violence which is full of bitter hatred as only very nominal. Just see the consciousness of these souls ! MAYA = NOT THIS. The thing which is spiritual and all good they consider demoniac and the most dangerous violence being committed to human society they consider as something very insignificant !
We can now
more clearly appreciate Srila Prabhupada's words in regards to
all these rogues.
By a
false display of religious sentiments, they present a show of
devotional service while indulging in all sorts of immoral
activities. In this way they pass as spiritual masters and
devotees of God. Such violators of religious
principles have no respect for the authoritative acaryas,
the holy teachers in the strict disciplic succession; and to
mislead the people in general they themselves become so-called
acaryas, but they do not even follow the principles of the
acaryas.
These
rogues are the most dangerous elements in human society.
Because there is no religious government, they escape
punishment by the law of the state. They cannot, however,
escape the law of the Supreme, who has clearly declared in the
Bhagavad-gita that envious demons in the garb of religious
propagandists shall be thrown into the darkest regions of hell
(Bg. 16.19-20). Sri Isopanisad confirms that these pseudo
religionists are heading toward the most obnoxious place in
the universe after the completion of their spiritual master
business, which they conduct simply for sense gratification.
(Sri
Isopanisad Mantra 12)
Whenever an acarya comes, following the superior orders of the Supreme Personality of Godhead or His representative, he establishes the principles of religion, as enunciated in Bhagavad-gita. Religion means abiding by the orders of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Religious principles begin from the time one surrenders to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It is the acarya's duty to spread a bona fide religious system and induce everyone to bow down before the Supreme Lord. One executes the religious principles by rendering devotional service, specifically the nine items like hearing, chanting and remembering. Unfortunately, when the acarya disappears, rogues and nondevotees take advantage and immediately begin to introduce unauthorized principles in the name of so-called svamis, yogis, philanthropists, welfare workers and so on (Note: The apa-Iskcon swamis introduce the unauthorized principle of changing Srila Prabhupada's transcendental books, and the Turley philanthropists, PADA welfare workers and so on put forward the unauthorized principle that "we can blaspheme the Saintly character of the Lords representative take all his assets and give them to the demoniac ex-gurukula, and of course we will take a nice cut (in dollars or name and fame) as well. This is all very philanthropic service." ) ….The acarya, the authorized representative of the Supreme Lord, establishes these principles, but when he disappears, things once again become disordered. The perfect disciples of the acarya try to relieve the situation by sincerely following the instructions of the spiritual master….Similarly, a devoted disciple of the spiritual master would rather die with the spiritual master than fail to execute the spiritual master's mission. As the Supreme Personality of Godhead comes down upon this earth to re-establish the principles of religion, so His representative, the spiritual master, also comes to re-establish religious principles. It is the duty of the disciples to take charge of the mission of the spiritual master and execute it properly. Otherwise the disciple should decide to die along with the spiritual master. In other words, to execute the will of the spiritual master, the disciple should be prepared to lay down his life and abandon all personal considerations…. When one becomes serious to follow the mission of the spiritual master, his resolution is tantamount to seeing the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As explained before, this means meeting the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the instruction of the spiritual master. This is technically called vani-seva. Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura states in his Bhagavad-gita commentary on the verse vyavasayatmika buddhir ekeha kuru-nandana (Bg. 2.41) that one should serve the words of the spiritual master. The disciple must stick to whatever the spiritual master orders. Simply by following on that line, one sees the Supreme Personality of Godhead. (S.B.4.28.48,50,51) |
