Sharing Thoughts
Wet days are upon us; both day and night
are accepting. My indecision this day was dispelled by a sudden inner voice
that said, “Just do it!”
So, I meandered through streets receiving a
light spray from above. I find that rain or drizzle can deepen your thoughts.
That’s okay. Never over-think. Throw those mantras in there.
My intense thoughts for the night were
reflections from the morning. The morning discussion was invoked from the Bhagavatam,
verse 11.6.30. Some of our discussion was as follows:
Five topics are discussed in the Gita:
1) Isvara – God
2) Jiva – the soul
3) Prakriti – material energy
4) Kala – time
5) Karma – activity (good or bad)
Of the five, only one is temporary – karma.
We discussed that “genuine humility implies
strength. Excess pride implies weakness.”
The members of the Yadu dynasty became a
burden as a result of their conquests. Krishna arranged for their removal. He
is the director, after all.
Outside of the discussion, and after my walk, an excerpt came to me and is to be shared from a letter of Prabhupada. “Please note it carefully that you cannot leave Krishna Consciousness. That is a fact. And even if you want to leave, Krishna will not leave you. That is also a fact.”
May the Source be with you!
