Superiority on the material plane

[Redsox]

Before Bhagavad Gita:

Oh wow, the president of the united states , hey look the queen of england

 

After Bhagavad Gita:

Bah, they are just souls .

Do people like bush, French, redsox ( the team , not the poster), deserve any respect at all? Did they "earn" it? was it just given to them by krishna?

[Murali_Mohan_das]

Certainly, they (and we) are all enjoying the fruits of their past actions (karma). In the future, they will "enjoy" the fruits of their present actions--at least those actions which are not done in a mood of pure devotion.

Ali G, "Respect". Redsox, much respect. Celtics, a little less. Bruins, no respect. Patriots, WOW!

demigods. thats what they are, but we respect, not worship. Krsna is the ability in man, and if someone has a lot, it is a lot of krsna.

 

we respect seahawks and mariners, but we spit out sonics and leave hockey to gHari and the canadians, because we do not rob cultures (except when it comes to kokanees). Boston is okay, for the third world, ya know, different language and all.
