They will Gossip
Toronto, Ontario
Its worth repeating - the message about gossip. Our guru, Srila Prabhupada, worked very hard to create an environment of love and trust and a place virtually free of fruitless chatter. Where does one draw the line between the spiritual and material world?? I believe this to be the answer; the divide is between the place where spiritual encouragement is spoken ad the place where we have cynicism.
Here is what’s worth repeating from a letter from Prabhupada in 1974. “Your suggestion that the devotees visiting Vrindavan engage in preaching and chanting and not in gossiping is very good…. We have sacrificed our life for Krishna’s service, where is the scope for sleeping and gossiping?…
Your suggestion for groups teaching practical subjects like book distribution and Deity worship is also good. These things are wanted.
Then installing of telex communications for our main temple is not required. Then they will gossip more through the telex”.
The use of modern day technology is practically impossible to check. It can be appreciated that its utility is not used for mundane purposes. Gossip is very destructive. If anything, we can engage in God sip, sipping up what God is telling us.
