Guest guest Report post Posted July 12, 2004 materialistic family life is absolutely no good a devotee of krsna offers everything to krsna, even his family, so the family life of a krsna devotee is absolutely good chant regularly and attentively the hare krsna mahamantra take shelter in a pure spiritual master take initiation follow regulative principles you and your family will go back to godhead Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GODSEED 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2004 HARI AUM TAT SAT YEAH, SB SAYS THAT FAMILY LIFE IS NOT GOOD. BUT THESE GOLDEN STATEMENTS ARE OFTEN MISUNDERSTOOD, FIRST OF ALL ONE SHOULD KNOW WHAT IS A FAMILY LIFE, SEE A FAMILY LIFE IS BUILT ON THE SOFT BRICKS AND BASIS OF FAITH, LOVE & SACRIFICE. THATS WHAT MAKES A FAMILY. IF YOUR MOM WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN YOUR CARE AFTER YOUR BIRTH I DONT THINK YOU WOULDVE BEEN HERE TO THINK ALL THESE! FAMILY MEANS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, IF YOUR FATHER HELPED YOU WALK ONLY TO BRING HIM HIS LAST BREAD, I'M SURE THAT IS NOT LOVE. SEE GOD NEVER REALLY BOTHERS WHAT YOU CAN GIVE, HE ONLY SHOWERS HIS LOVE, BUT WE, DUE TO OUR IGNORANCE CANT SEE THAT. TELL ME, HOW WOULD YOU HAVE EVEN CHANTED HIS NAME, IF HE DIDNT GIVE YOU MIND TO THINK, OR TONGUE OR TIME OR THAT AFFECTION FOR HIM? WHO ARE WE, WITHOUT HIM? WHAT IS YOUR FAMILY WITHOUT HIM? YOUR LIFE IS NOT WHAT IS IN THIS BIRTH, ITS HAS SEEN MANY STAGES. MAY BE YOU WERE AN ANT IN LAST BIRTH, AND YOUR PARENTS IN THIS BIRTH WERE YOUR SIBLIGS, ITS ALL A GAME, A GRADUAL JOURNEY TO THAT LOVING FATHER! YOUR SPOUSE IN THIS BIRTH COULD VERY WELL HAVE BEEN YOUR MOTHER IN YOUR PREVIOUS OR NEXT BIRTHS, YOU NEVER KNOW THAT, GOD ONLY KNOW. A MAN, WHEN ENTERS A FAMILY LIFE, TAKES EVERYTHING FOR ETERNAL, HIS WIFE, HIS CHILDREN, FAMILY, PARETNS ETC. THIS SOUL ONLY CHANGES THE CLOTHES AND WITH IT, CHANGES BIRTHS & IT COMES ACROSS SO MANY TRANSEINT RELATIONSHIP, BUT THROUGH ALL THESE STORMS OF CHANGES THERE IS ONE CHANGLESS, ALWAYS WITH US, BEYOND OUT PERCEPTIONS, AND HE IS OUR LORD VISNU!I THINK CONCIEVING THIS VISION WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE MOMENTARINESS AND MORTALITY OF THIS WORLD AND ITS MENIFESTATIONS. ALL THESE FAMILY RELATIONS, THEREBY ARE NOT BAD OR FAKE OR WORTHLESS, BUT WHEN SEEING THEM IN THE BACKGROUND OF THAT EVERSTEADY AND EVERPRESENT LORD VISNU, WHO TRAVELS WITH US ALL ALONG THE JOURNEY, EVERYTHING ELSE LOOKS LIKE A CAMERA-FLASH, SO MUCH MOMENTARY. I DONT MEAN TO SAY, THAT YOU FORGET THOSE SACRIFICES THAT YOUR PARENTS AND SIBLINGS MADE TO BRING YOU UP OR YOUR SPOUSE MAKES TO SUPPORT YOUR CART, BUT JUST GIVE A THOUGHT TO THE ONE WHO SUSTAINS THEM ALL AND YOU ALSO, THE FATHER! JUST LIKE IN A JOURNEY FROM MUMBAI TO NY, IN AN AIRPLANE, THERE ARE SO MANY CO-TRAVELLERS YOU HAVE, THEY ALL WILL LEAVE YOU WHEN THEIR DESTINATIONS COME! AND UNTIL YOU REACH YOUR DESTINATION, EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE! THAT DOESNOT MEAN THAT YOU FORGET YOUR PRESENT CO TRAVELLERS BUT THAT CERTAINLY MEANS THAT YOU MUSTNOT FORGET THE GUIDE, AND THE DESTINATION WHO IS BUT LORD VISNU! MAY THE GOD BLESS YOU, HARI EECCHA, HARI AUM TAT SAT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted July 15, 2004 i cannot read all these capital letters Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BruzWayne 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2004 I was not going to read the capital letters too but when I noticed that a guest was saying "I cannot read..." I realized that it was only lazyness that was preventing me from reading, so I read all the capital letters already and the message is good. Family life is part of evolution but in the end all of us must renounce to family life sooner or later so it doesn't become an attachment to material consciousness. Hare Krishna.

Guest guest Report post Posted July 23, 2004 too stereotyped and fanatic there's many devotees and acharyas who never got sannyasa you are blaspheming for example srila bhaktivinoda takura you have difficulties in having a shower without a swimsuit and you are praching sannyasa ashrama? a little bit of coherence?

BruzWayne 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2004 Hare Krishna, guest. I'm not going to do some arguing. True knowledge is contained in the books of Srila Prabhupada. That's all. Hare Krishna. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
