yours eternal servant

Coming to the point that u r having so many works, skills to help the society, I whole heartedly appreciate your concern and enthusiasm for the society. You may kindly agree that there are three types of help.  1)    Physical Help   2)    Moral / emotional help 3)    Spiritual help

 Above all, spiritual help is the top most seva / service that one can render to any one, which would be highly beneficial to anyone in this world.

 For instance, if a person is hunger, u give him charity by offering him food, again after 04 hours, he feels hungry.  So to how many people, you can fulfill their hunger and for how many days you can give charity of food, clothing and shelter ?  We are after all human beings but NOT KRISHNA, to protect everyone under the shelter of GOVARDHANA-GIRI.

 Coming to Moral / Emotional Help, your suggestion / advice  may help your friends / relatives / society to come out of the problem for the time being, but another problem would crop up again. So, how many times, and to how many people we can give moral / emotional support?  We are not the great Devatas / / Gods.  We ourselves are in great moral / emotional troubles.

 So, the best and permanent help we can do to the public, society and the world at large is to give spiritual knowledge where people can take the shelter of God, know the real and root cause of the problems and get permanent solutions to their problems, realize God and reach God.

 Wishing you and Praying the Lord Hari to bless you with a very great spiritual and blissful life and contribute each and every second of your life in real zing, chanting and serving the lord Sri Hari.

4)    Our attitude towards sufferings / pains / miseries should be that of Queen Kunti Devi.  Queen Kunti always used to pray Krishna that My Lord, please see that I shall always be in great difficulties, troubles and problems because only when I have problems, I will recollect you.  Indirectly, intelligently, this prayer also tells us that when we always and constantly recollecting Krishna, the question of sufferings / pains / miseries does not come.  5)    Our attitude / prayers should always be of Gajendra – the king of elephants who was caught by crocodile and tried his level best with all his mighty strength and also by taking all the help of other mighty elephants in the forest by helping the Gajendra to come out of the clutches of crocodile, but when all the efforts were in vain, as a last resort, Gajendra has called Sri Maha Vishnu and Lord Vishnu has come to the rescue of Gajendra and saved the life of Gajendra.From the above example; we can illustrate, that when we are in trouble, we expect, our friends, relatives, kit and kin will come to help and rescue.  They may come to our help and rescue but they have their own strengths and limitations.  So only and only when we cry for GOD to help just like a child cries for her mother, then and then only we can get the MERCY of GOD and the moment we get the mercy of GOD, there is no question of suffering s/ pains / miseries in our life.

We all are atoms of dust particles of the feet of God.  Due to our desire to enjoy materialistic life, our previous births sins and misdeeds, etc., we have come on to this earth, taking different forms of births.  After passing 87 lacs of species of births, we get human birth.  God gives us many, many good opportunities to realize God and serve God, but since we are living in the age of Kali Yuga, we forget God and the moment we forget God, Maya entangles us, thus leading to all types of sufferings, sorrows and miseries.

 In this world, there are three types of sufferings:  1)    Sufferings caused due to body and mind (by ourselves) – which we can control to the maximum extent with will-power, perseverance, patience, practice and prayers to God.  2)    Sufferings caused by others – which we have minimum control  3)    Sufferings caused by Natural Calamities like Earthquakes, Floods, Tsunami, etc – which we do not have control at all.

Coming to the point of your distress, disappointment, troubles, etc., the moment u have come in to Krishna Consciousness, everything got vanished at the first instances itself.  Whatever you are undergoing the so called troubles, problems, setbacks is Krishna's Causeless mercy on you as Krishna's Biggest Gift is to crush the devotee to the maximum possible so that the wexed fellow has no one but to think of HIM. So many people think this as Negative, but is the only positive and only truth.  Queen Kunti always used to pray that she always wants problems / troubles  in her life because only and only when we have problems, troubles, we wil think of God. The underlying fact is that if we constantly be in thinking of God, there would be no question of troubles/problems.  Another most mercy in Krishna Consciousness is that whatever troubles  / problems we need to face in next tens and hundreds of births, Krishna would so mercifully reduce them and give all the troubles / problems in this birth so that there would not be any rebirth and straight away, we would go to Golaka-the realm of lord Krishna.

Without reading the user manual of a vehicle, if we ride the vehicle, the performance and life of the vehicle will NOT be as per the design of the vehicle.

Similarly, without reading the user manual of a medicine / drug, if we use it, it will not work as it is expected and it may even endanger us.  Similarly, without reading our Life’s User manual – Bhagavad Gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, Upanashids, Vedas, Panchatantra, if we run the vehicle of our life, we will be subjected to lots of problems / sufferings / miseries in our life – that’s what, you, me and everyone are facing now.
