The Dog Centered Life

Prabhupada, Evening Darshan, August 12, 1976, Tehran: […] That is the present position. The present civilization is very strong animal platform.

yasyatma-buddhih kunape tri-dhatuke sva-dhih kalatradisu bhauma-ijya-dhih yat-tirtha-buddhih salile na karhicij janesv abhijnesu sa eva go-kharah [SB 10.84.13]

Go-khara. Go-khara means animal. Go means cow, khara means ass. So yasyatma-buddhih kunape tri-dhatuke. Anyone who is thinking that “I am this body composed of kapha-pitta-vayu,” sa eva go-kharah, “he’s animal.” Now analyze everyone. Everyone is thinking that “I am this body.” “I am American,” “I am Indian,” “I am Hindu,” “I am Muslim,” “I am this,” “I am that,” all in the bodily concept of life. So if you continue this bodily concept of life, then you remain animal. Full Conversation

Today a white-haired lady drove by in a convertible. A large golden retriever was in the back seat. It seemed the dog was being chauffeured by the lady!

Then it hit me:

“We all have to serve somebody.”

Human beings are ornery creatures.

Instead of serving G-O-D, naturally we would get it backwards.

We serve D-O-G!

Why is this?

GOD VERSUS DOG

God is difficult to understand. People can’t agree if He is Christ or Allah. Some think He is an old man. Others think He doesn’t exist at all.

We blame Him for everything bad. If He is so powerful, why does He let evil things happen?

With Dog, expectations aren’t so high.

Dogs are tangible. You can see them.

Frisky. furry. They’re always there.

Feed me. Walk me. Pat me.

It’s easy to serve Dog. He’s a mooch!

He’s not a vengeful Dog.

Put him off for hours and he’s forgiving. When you finally reach for the leash, he’s as happy and grateful as ever.

“If I can make just one Dog happy, my life has been worthwhile,” I tell my wife (in jest.)

DOGOLATRY

I would have succumbed to Dogolatry but for the fact that I have a working understanding of God.

As my readers know, I equate God with spiritual absolutes: Truth, Justice, Beauty, Goodness, Harmony and Love.

In a word, Bliss.

It’s obvious that people were born with a craving for these ideals. They are the principle of our development. We were intended to realize them in this world.

We are God’s agents.

But we blame God for our failure.

We’re sidetracked by evil people telling us other things will provide Bliss: Romantic love. Sex. Money. Power. Fame.

They never do.

So we end up serving Dogs.

Dogs never disappoint. They’re not nearly as demanding.

    Henry Makow Ph.D. has a website that I often visit. He is coming from a Christian perspective, but has a very good understanding of the socio-political dynamic that dominates peoples lives. His perspective regarding the Zionist hijacking of of the Christian religion, corporate, ”educational” and political systems of the world has many parallels with ISKCON (the Inane Sacrilege for Kike CONcoction).
