14:55

The Britishers are achieving their sense gratification; we cannot. All right, fight. So there was no question of pleasing Krsna‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

14:55

A sadhu, a saintly person, never approves of killing, not even the killing of an animal, but Prahlada Maharaja said, modeta sadhur api vrscika-sarpa-hatya: (SB 7.9.14) - Even a saintly person is pleased when a scorpion or a snake is killed‎ diffhist −12‎ Rahul talk contribs

14:54

When the First and Second World Wars began, it was not for pleasing Krsna. The Germans wanted that their sense gratification not be hampered by the Britishers. That means it was a war of sense gratification‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

14:51

In all other business, there is no question of pleasing Krsna. When one nation declares war upon another, there is no question of pleasing Krsna or serving Krsna. They're pleasing their own senses, serving their own whims‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

14:49

Those who serve Him with love and devotion, Krsna can change destiny. So sacrifice, yajna, means pleasing Krsna. Our whole Krsna consciousness movement means pleasing Krsna. That is the whole program‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

Mr. Ford was destined to become a rich man. His destiny was there, and so he became a rich man. Another man may work just as hard as Ford, but this does not mean he will become as rich as Ford. This is practical‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

14:33

We see so many men working so hard. Does this mean that every one of them will become a Ford, a Rockefeller? Why not? Everyone is trying his best‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

14:29

Suffering must befall me on account of my sinful activities, but Krsna says, "I will deliver you from all the reactions to your sinful activities." This should be clear. Ordinarily, destiny cannot be checked‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

14:01

Insofar as your material condition is concerned, generally that cannot be checked. You have to suffer. But in the case of a devotee, that suffering also can be stopped or minimized. Otherwise, Krsna's statement would be false: aham tvam sarva-papebhyo‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

He (Prahlada Maharaj) didn't care about his father's attempts to make him suffer. That state of existence is called apratihata: if you want to execute KC, your material condition of life cannot check it. That is the real platform of progress‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

13:51

In spite of your destiny, if you try for Krsna consciousness, you can achieve spiritual success. Otherwise, why did Prahlada Maharaja urge his friends, kaumara acaret: Take Krsna consciousness up from your very childhood‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

13:50

Make sure that everything is clear. Why are you so eager to progress? Try to understand what is what. The first thing is that your destiny cannot be changed. That's a fact‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

13:49

Our only business should be to surrender to Krsna. And if you artificially want to be more happy by economic development, that is not possible‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

The Brahma-samhita (5.54) says, karmani nirdahati kintu ca bhakti-bhajam: destiny can be changed by Krsna for His devotees; otherwise it is not possible‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

13:47

The same judge who gave the verdict cannot check it. But if the man begs for the mercy of the king, the king can check the execution. He can go totally above the law‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

As for the question of "fatalistic," I have often given this example: Let us say a man is condemned by a court of law to be hanged. Nobody can check it‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

13:45

No one can check your spiritual advancement. Try to understand this‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

13:44

As your advancement of so-called material happiness is already destined and cannot be checked, similarly, your advancement in spiritual life cannot be checked - if you endeavor for it‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

That spiritual purpose you should engage your energy. That advantage is open to you now, in the human form. Ahaituky apratihata: pure devotional service to the Lord, Krsna consciousness, is open to you now, and it cannot be checked‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

13:43

13:41

He (a person) may live in a hut and become very advanced in self-realzation. But if he wastes his time turning his hut into a skyscraper, then his whole life is wasted, finished‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

12:30

Sometimes people boast, "We have gone from the hut to the skyscraper." They think this is progress. But in the Vedic system of civilization, one thinks about how much he is advanced in self-realization‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

12:29

People who accuse followers of Vedic civilization of laziness or of "inhibiting progress" do not know what real progress is. The Vedic civilization is not interested in the false progress of economic development‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs
