Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Matajis,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva.
The following is humble effort to transcribe the nectarean class given by our beloved spiritual master HH Mahavishnu Goswami Maharaj in Singapore on how important it is to lead a simple life.
Maharaj: (Referring to bad tendency of taking fizzy drinks or intoxicating drinks Maharaj says..) Krishna will fulfill your desire. He says, "I will give the next body in which you always drink dirty water." And he gives us the hogs body and you sleep in the gutter and whatever comes, 'popopopop..' Nice dirty water comes you know. Because that body likes the dirty water. This is the effect of our karmas. If your karmas are pious, in the sense that you are attracted to the complete perfect whole Krishna, then you will have a bit of chance to have the human body born in śucīnāṁ śrīmatāṁ gehe. (BG 6.41) śucīnāṁ means saintly family. śrīmatāṁ means rich family or you stand chance to get so much wealth, so that you become completely satisfied and then you don’t have to worry. You don’t have to toil and moil for earning the wealth. You have already bread and butter is there and then fortunately you come across again Krishna somewhere and you catch Him.
(Referring to couple of devotees Maharaj said) This boy is from, these two boys from Switzerland they are travelling and he told me today that from the childhood, he always likes to stay in the forest. He was asking his mother that, 'give me some best thing, give me better than this, I don’t want this, to work like this.' So his mother said that I don’t have any better thing. You try to find out yourself. So he is moving around since then. And somehow or the other, he came to, they came to Malaysia. And he found. He had a Bhagavad gita somehow or the other. He was studying Bhagavad Gita. He thought that this is quite nice. This is living example in front of us. These boys, they were attracted to Krishna, because they had performed the devotional service in the previous life. Otherwise why should he search?. He knew that he is searching for something. but He didn’t know that he is searching for Krishna. But Krishna has His own arrangement. When He found out that this soul is inquisitive, so He gave his birth in the country in Switzerland. And I heard about Switzerland that if you don't work, even then you get 90,000 Rs per month from the government. Isn't it? Switzerland is a very rich country. You don’t work, even then you get 100,000 nearly per month. Best to go to Switzerland Harry and I will also come as a guru. (laughter) You tell that I cannot survive without my guru and we will both go and at least 2,00,000 Rs. per month. (laughter). The richest country they were born. This is the living example that if the sadhana is incomplete, then you get the human birth, in the rich family or saintly family or saintly and rich. This is how. These boys were thrown into the richest country. And because, they should not worry about the money, so they are moving about and trying to find out what they want. And somehow or the other now he is satisfied that he has got the thing. Now it depends how to organize the life and how to live.
Krishna willing we shall try to hear more nectar from Maharaj in the subsequent offering.
Hare Krishna.
Thank you very much,
Yours in service of Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva,
