Indradyumna Das shared Golden Volcano's 'All friendly atmosphere...
Devotee: So you said that we want to, we hate the world of exploitation. But in Bhagavad-gita, in the Fourteenth Chapter, Arjuna and Kṛṣṇa are speaking about what are the qualities of a liberated soul, and Kṛṣṇa says he doesn't hate illumination or attachment when they come, he doesn't hate. At the same time. So how are we to despise these things on the one hand...?
Srila Srīdhara Mahārāja: One by exploitation they will hate. And when we are free from exploitation and posted in the plane of service, dedication, then hate is eliminated, then we embrace everything. Only the spirit of dedication can make it possible to embrace everything. And exploitation has no such possibility so we hate that. And exploiting and the hatred, hatred comes from exploitation. And dedication makes everything friend. I don't want anything in its turn. So everything will come to me, I don't want extort my selfish ideas from anything, from the environment. visva purna sukhayate. The Mayavadis hate, hateful are the renunciationists. They indulge in hatred. But the devotee opposite. Karmi exploiters, and the jnani hater, and the devotee embraces everything, but with reference to the centre, that is Kṛṣṇa. In Kṛṣṇa connection, Kṛṣṇa sambandha. Everything is embraced. "Oh, he is my friend. I can utilize him in the service of Kṛṣṇa." And sometimes the flower will remind me, "Oh take me to Kṛṣṇa." That is when I am fully established in the plane of dedication. Everything will help me and remind me, "Oh, go to Kṛṣṇa." All friendly atmosphere. There is all can be acquired, it is devotional spirit, in the spirit of dedication. Hatred can have no room there, of hatred. Hatred is in the temperament of the renunciant, tyagimukti-kami. Not bhakta. Nirbandhah krsna-sambandhe yuktam vairagyam ucyate. Everything is in connection of Kṛṣṇa, how can I hate it? Hare Kṛṣṇa.'
