We cannot change the condition of our heart; that Krsna can do. Our heart is what it is and whatever we feel, we feel. But we can, with our own intelligence, judge the value of our feelings. Are these beneficial for my spiritual progress?

Krsna can make us saints; we cannot ourselves become saints but we can try to act saintly and then Krsna will change the condition of our heart...and that's the idea..

Sometimes Krsna takes things away. He takes everything away, then all that we have left is Krsna! When everything is taken away than all you have left is just your Krishna Consciousness – that's all you have.

So sometimes Krsna does that. But sometimes he does that when he sees that we are getting too proud.

Pride is very strong in us

It is very difficult to control pride. Pride is very strong in us. When we are humble than it is very difficult. As soon as we are humble, than we become proud that we are humble: "I was so humble today". Means that we are proud. So pride is so deep!

Bad Association

Bad Association

Posted: 12 Nov 2010 09:43 AM PST

SB 11.14.29
Being conscious of the eternal self, one should give up association with women and those intimately associated with women. Sitting fearlessly in a solitary place, one should concentrate the mind on Me with great attention.

Commentary:
One who has intimate contact with women and becomes attached to them will gradually lose his determination to go back home, back to Godhead. Association with lusty men gives exactly the same result. Therefore, one is advised to be fearless and to sit down in a solitary place, or a place where there are no lusty men and women committing spiritual suicide. Without fear of failure or of unhappiness in life, one should remain with sincere devotees of the Lord. Atandrita means that one should not compromise this principle but should be rigid and cautious. All this is possible only for one who is ātmavān, or fixed in practical understanding of the eternal soul.

SB 11.14.30
Of all kinds of suffering and bondage arising from various attachments, none is greater than the suffering and bondage arising from attachment to women and intimate contact with those attached to women.

Commentary:
One should make a great endeavor to give up intimate contact with women and those fond of women. A learned gentleman will automatically be on guard if placed in intimate contact with lusty women. In the company of lusty men,, however, the same man may engage in all kinds of social dealings and thus be contaminated by their polluted mentality. Association with lusty men is often more dangerous than association with women and should be avoided by all means. There are innumerable verses in the Bhāgavatam describing the intoxication of material lust. Suffice it to say that a lusty man becomes exactly like a dancing dog and, by the influence of Cupid, loses all gravity, intelligence and direction in life. The Lord warns here that one who surrenders to the illusory form of a woman suffers unbearably in this life and the next.

Whose name does Krishna chant?

Whose name does Krishna chant?

by Sacinandana Swami on Wednesday, September 15, 2010 at 3:12am

Question:

Whose name does Krishna chant?

 

Answer:

Krishna chants Radha's name with deep attachment

 

 

kalindi-tata-kunja-mandira-gato yogindravad yat-pada-

jyotir-dhyana-parah sada japati yam premasru-purno-harih

kenapy adbhutam ullasad-rati-rasanandena sammohitah

sa radheti sada hrdi sphuratu me vidya para dvy-aksara

 

In the forest bower by the banks of the Yamuna,

Krishna is fixed in meditation like a yogi

on the light emanating from Radha's toenails.

Muttering Her names with eyes overflowing with tears,

His body overcome with an unbelievably joyful thrill of desire.

 

May those two syllables magical of Radha's name

always reverberate in my heart.

 

(Prabodhananda Sarasvati, Radha Rasa Sudhanidhi, 96)
