video: Rasjna dasi – Memories of Srila Prabhupada
Prabhupada, New York, December 8, 1966: […] Just like the sunshine is for everyone. The same sun in India and same sun in your America. You cannot say that “This is American sun.” Can you? Or we cannot say, “Oh…” I see sometimes… Because I am now foreigner, I see sometimes, “Oh, the same moon is here, and same sun is here? The same cloud is here? Oh, why I am foreigner?”
Nobody is foreigner! Everyone is under the sunshine. It is our misunderstanding. It is our misunderstanding.
In God’s kingdom nobody is foreigner. Everyone is brother. The ultimate father is the Supreme Lord. That is Krishna consciousness. Even the animals. Why should we think animals different from us and we shall kill them? No.
You have no right. He is also your brother. So this is universal brotherhood. When you come to the open sunshine, we can see, oh, everyone is eligible to take advantage of the sunshine. And so long we are in the darkness, we say, “Oh, this is my room; this is your room.” So for such persons who are completely in Krishna consciousness, for them there is no scarcity. This is very encouraging.
No Krishna conscious person will think that “I will be in scarcity. I will be in want.” No. Be rest assured. You will never be in want. You will never be in want. If you keep your full faith in Krishna, you will always happily live and will be given a chance of chanting Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama… Here it is guaranteed.
So if you take this advantage of Krishna, Krishna, Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare, in whatever position you may be, you will never be unhappy. You will always be prosperous. So why don’t you take this advantage? Be situated. Full Lecture
pamho agtACBSP,
this is the nightmare of so called foreigner – as soon he thinks he’s a foreigner false ego gets stronger…oh! American government has many restrictions for the entrance of foreigners from less prosperous countries. The reason is that the Americans do not wish to share their prosperity with any foreigner who has not qualified himself as a citizen of America.
Similarly, the same mentality is prevailing in every other planet where there are more intelligent living beings residing. The higher planetary living conditions are all in the mode of goodness and anyone desiring to enter the higher planets like the moon, sun and Venus must qualify thoroughly by activity in complete goodness.
Even on this planet of our present residence, one cannot achieve a good position within the social order without being qualified with proportionate good work. One cannot forcibly sit on the chair of a high-court judge without being qualified for the post.
Similiarly, although present ISKCON gurus were voted to the vyasasana by GBC, they should understand that the training must be complete.
Rubber stamp is not effective. One can cheat, but it will not be effective. Just like Gaudiya Matha. Everyone wanted to become guru, and a tiny, little temple and “guru”. What kind of guru? No publication, no preaching, simply bring some foodstuff… Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Maharaja called it, “Joint mess” – a place for eating and sleeping. Amar amar ara takana: “Joint mess.”
Just like some clerks, they make a small cooperative hotel. In India there are many. Some of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Maharaja’s disciples were doing this and he would call this, “joint mess”.
Now ISKCON is fighting with the Prabhupadanugas in the court that, “ritvik is poison and not good”. When Prabhupadanugas reply that, “all right, you want to combine to make a guru, why don’t you combine yourself for preaching?”
What is their answer? That, “you want to work jointly, so why you do not work jointly? You are jointly working to harass the Prabhupadanugas. Why not preach jointly?”
So what is their reply? No reply! They have joined together to defeat the Prabhupadanugas. Why don’t we preach jointly? They are divided amongst themselves and have joined together to kick out the Prabhupadanugas.
Prabhupada: Stick to our principle, and see our GBC is very alert. Then everything will go on, even I am not present. Do that. That is my request. Whatever little I have taught you, follow that, and nobody will be aggrieved. No maya will touch you. Now Krishna has given us, and there will be no scarcity of money. You print book and sell. So everything is there. We have got good shelter all over the world. We have got income. You stick to our principles, follow the… Even if I die suddenly, you’ll be able to manage. That’s all. That I want. Manage nicely and let the movement go forward. Now arrange. Don’t go backward. Be careful.
