hare krsna

Thankyou Prabhuji.

[@rameshshetty2558]

Hare Krishna Prabhuji. Thank you for explaining how we cannot act in an isolated, self obsessed, self concerned way even if it is for spiritual purposes.Wise person should act in such a way that by seeing him, others, who are attached and ignorant, should feel like following him. Wise person should be engaging devotees in such a way that, depending on their talents, they should have the opportunity to serve the Lord and elevate themselves.

jai srila prabhupada

[@malathisantosh3444]

Power of examplke is far stronger than example of power. Srila Prabhupad sets great example to millions. So we should be enthusiastic and inspiring in our sadhana and service and each one of us can set good examples and be a part of the solution and not problem.

Hare Krishna Prabhuji, Krishna explains the difference between karma kandis and karma yogis in terms of their consciousness. one is ignorant and attached and the other is knowledgeable and detached. and they only set example for others to follow so that they can be gradually elevated. Principle of practicing bhakti is to dovetail everything for Krishna's service and encourage and engage people to practice devotional service as per their capacity. thank you.

Power of example is far more powerful than the example of power. So we should be models not critics.

[@jivneshsandhan1660]

We should be model not critique.

Ignorant and attached - karma kandis Knowledge and detached - karma yogis They do same work, only difference is consciousness. Such proper examples will come from grihasthas. Grhasthas and brahmacārīs are 2 brigades in the same army. Every single varṇa and asrama is important.

3.21 - 3.26 Are all activities of Krishna exemplary If you are qualified for JY still practice KY to set up examples for others. 3.21 - Whatever action a great man performs, common men follow. And whatever standards he seta by exemplary acts, all the world pursues. Eg Gandhi was considered as father of nation. A person who was simple and concerned for others. They serve as role models. Power of example is far greater than the example of power. Prabhupada at old age showed energy, wisdom and joy and love for Krishna attracted lot of people. 3.22 - There is no work prescribed for me within all the 3 planetary systems. Nor I want or need anything - yet I am engaged in prescribed duties. Lord desires and everything happens. Jnana, bala, Kriya are all happening naturally. 3.23 - If I fail to engage in my duties attentively then others would have acted similarly. That will lead to disruption. Vrindavan is arena of Prema. Mathura, Dwarka are arena of responsibility. 3.24 - If I did not perform prescribed duties, all these worlds would be put to ruination. I would be cause of creating unwanted population, and I would thereby destroy peace of all living beings. Here Krishna is answering Arjuna's reason of not fighting that is problem of Varnashankara. Krishna may seem to not set example by doing Raaslila etc. 1. Great people cannot be imitated but only appreciated. 2. That arena was of Prema. 3. He was not of age of responsibility. Difference between KK and KY 3.25 - Externally both KK and KY are doing their duties, KK is attached to results and KY work in detach mode but both do it to lead people on right path. Bhakti is not part of our life, Bhakti is out life. 3.26 - Do not stop KK to work as per their prescribed duties for fruitive results. Rather, by working in spirit of devotion, engage them in all sorts of KC activities.
