HE LIVES FOREVER BY HIS DIVINE INSTRUCTIONS

We are very proud of our two small eyes, and puffed up with vanity, we are always enthusiastic to see everything with our own eyes. But we do not know that whatever we are seeing at the present moment is covered with the darkness of nescience, and, as such, whatever we are seeing is either misperceived or only partially perceived. It is not a fact that we can see everything as it is simply by applying our ocular power to it. Every morning when the sun rises, we see this vast mass of matter as if it were just a small disc. Of course, the sun is much larger than the earth on which we live, and thus every morning of every day our self-reliant ocular vanity is put to the test and reduced to absurdity. Our eyes can gather knowledge only under certain favorable conditions. We cannot see things that are too far away from us; we cannot penetrate the darkness, nor can we see things that are very close to the eye, such as our own eyelids. Thus we can be proud of our eyes only under certain favorable conditions created by an external agency, namely the material nature. Otherwise, even though we have our wonderful eyes, we cannot see things in their true perspective. What is true for the eyes is also true for the other senses we use for gathering knowledge. (From Chapter One of Message of Godhead by His Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

Srila Prabhupada is so eloquent! With a few powerful words, he demolishes the material pride of his readers.

There is one instance when a journalist asked Srila Prabhupad " what if at the end of ur life, you realize that there is no Krishna ? " .Srila Prabhupad answered " If that we so, we need not worry for we enjoyed , chanted , danced and took prasadam , but what if the Krishna is there ………then what about you ? ."

In The Great Transcendental Adventure,

a young man said that Meher Baba said he was God-not Krishna. Meher Baba never said this, He said He was Krishna in another incarnation, but not that Krisha was not God. In Meher Baba's Discourses, He states that Krishna was the personification of perfection. He was perfect in all ways or infinitely perfect as the Avatar. The man's quote is his own not Meher Baba's and should be treated as such by all, including Iscon. Meher Baba taught Love through selfless giving to others. This needs to stop.
