Суд над Бхагавад-гитой / Attempt to ban Bhagavad-gita

/ #32092011-12-19 05:23He Radhe-Shyama! Offering unto You my one and only scentless soul is no better than the offense of offering a useless flower. This lila, however, demonstrates to me that the little flower’s external deficiency really had no direct bearing on the actual status of her internal loving sentiments, but rather indirectly served to enhance them. He Radhe-Shyama! Please in the same way, despite everything, see something good in my lowly self; pick me up and save me from the perilous forest path of my own unbounded uselessness. Many devoted souls were placed in lower-class, materially degraded or uneducated, less sophisticated families by the will of the Supreme Authority, just to give them a better chance to more feelingly approach Your Lordship’s lotus feet with the requisite humility and natural modesty which was most lucklessly lacking in their previous life of liberal loftiness. Moreover, it is clearly explained in Gaudiya Vaishnava literature that great devotees of Lord Gauranga purposely appeared in such degraded families or in impious lands specifically to demonstrate that the evolvement of bhakti is in no way dependent upon material conditions. Everything considered, the culmination and conclusion of all learning and education is the congregational chanting of the Holy Name. I don’t think every college graduate is an ass. Some of my best friends are college graduates. As for myself, I graduated from the ISKCON School of Hard Knocks where I am presently doing my postgraduate studies. Hare Krishna! He Radhe-Shyama! Let those callous to the call for discipular self-improvement complacently attach themselves to retarded, self-centered, substandard, third-class sentimental modes of spiritual progress; we can be persuaded to spiritually advance only if we possess at least a preliminary aspiration for self-realization. He Radhe-Shyama! Let the holier-than-thou religio- institutional corporate bureaucrats, endlessly clinging to their conspicuously crude, consistently illiberal kanistha disposition, sanctimoniously integrate their as-yet-unsubdued, ignoble fault- finding proclivities on the plea of loyal managerial vigilance. Shall not we overlook their own fault of resolute self- aggrandizing censoriousness, as do they? Shall not we stoop so low as to criticize the criticizers who opportunistically magnify the foibles of others? Shall we at all dare to see any fault in faulting the faultfinding of the faultfinders? Are the pots not calling the kettles black? atma-van manyate jagat – a thief thinks everyone to be desirous of stealing his ill-gotten gains; a cheat sees the world to be full of cheaters. Krishna often allows us to see others’ faults just to remind us of the need to fine-tune our own approach to devotional life. We would always do well to remember in this connection that when we point our finger at the faults of others, three fingers conversely indicate our own. This incontrovertibly implies that even (if not especially) religiously ordained administrators who see fit to occasionally employ corrective measures with a view to bring about an individual’s or a faction’s Krishna-conscious cultural conformity should crucially consider it to be thrice their responsibility to address their own shortcomings, their own misconceptions, and their own reform, rather than be obsessed with the reformation of anyone else. Any field of management certainly demands the responsible assessment of the individuals involved – seeing any situation, individual, or faction with one bad eye and one good eye. Care ought to be exercized, however, so as to avoid any offense. After all, bees always delight in finding honey-like good qualities with a view to bring out the best in others. Let the pugnacious, double-dealing congenital equivocators openly paying lip service to a dramatically elegant, generously accommodating “Krishna conscious” paradigm, underhandedly militate against any other than their own doctrinaire politically correct prejudications. We shall no longer waste our days and nights dwelling on the wonderful workings of the three modes of material nature. There is much more important business at hand. Dear Shri Shri Radhe-Shyama! Let the inadequately edified thousands of those doggedly attached to their mere eligibility for the rudimentary practices of vaidhi sadhana-bhakti with their underdeveloped third-rate spiritual acumen and their unfortunate want of adequate scriptural penetration pertinatiously err to misrepresent the actual thrust of the Gaudiya creed in their rather pontifical preachings. Let them attempt in every way to systematically disparage or quell any upsurge of expressed aspirations for raga-bhajana. Looking askance, we shall politely ignore them. If as a result of limitless transcendental book distribution, even one obscure undeterred soul perfectly ascertains, appreciates, and imbibes the superlative aspect of rupanuga Vaisnavism, following the immaculate, spontaneous selfless loving service moods (bhavollasa-rati) of Your most intimate eternal associates in the supremely enchanting land of Vraja, then, my dear Shri Shri Radhe-Shyama, please let us consider the Hare Krishna movement to be somewhat forward. My dear most loveworthy and merciful Radha- Shyamasundara! May the broad-minded, forward-thinking souls evermore respect these deliberations, which are replete with profound concerns for advancing a more progressive culture of antaranga-bhakti in the lives of Your seriously dedicated sankirtana devotees. Please let those essence-seeking, deeply introspective softhearted individuals who patiently and sincerely read or hear these verbose utterances very soon attain the highest transcendental happiness (paramananda) in the spontaneous loving service of Your lotus feet according to their innermost heart’s aspirations. |
