Sunday in Burnaby
I had done
a quota of minimal kilometres but now it was time to sit down. It was 6:10pm
during the Sunday Open House at the Burnaby Canada , the US
In any
event I sat down at the special asana referred to as the vyasasan,
designated for the speaker. I sang the standard song of devotion “Jaya Radha
Madhava”. Then I opened to the page in Bhagavad Gita, 7:13, and
began to read the powerful words from the purport authored by His Divine Grace
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
“The whole
world is enchanted by the three modes of material nature... Every living entity
under the influence of material nature has a particular type of body and a
particular type of psychological and biological activities accordingly...
Although life is temporary and we do not know what we are going to be in the
next life, by the spell of this illusory energy we consider ourselves in terms
of this bodily conception of life, and we thus think that we are American,
Indian, Russian, or brahmana, Hindu, Muslim, etc.”
On the
basis of this message we were able to convey something that allowed people to
listen, to process, and then it’s up to them- to act or not act- as all souls
have their free will.
May the
Source be with you!
