He lives forever... from Rasa Manjari DD (ACBSP)

„He lives forever by His Divine Instructions and the follower lives with Him."

mukam karoti vacalam
pangum langhayate girim
yat-kripa tam aham vande
sri gurum dina tarinam

"By the mercy of the Guru even a dumb man can become a great speaker, and even a lame man can cross mountains."

"All my disciples will take the legacy. If you want, you can also take it. Sacrifice everything. I, one, may soon pass away. But they are hundreds, and this movement will increase. It is not that I give an order, 'Here is the next leader.' Anyone who follows the previous leadership is the leader.... All of my disciples are leaders, as much as they follow purely. If you want to follow, you can also lead. But you don't want to follow. Leader means one who is a first class disciple. Evam param parapraptam. One who is following is perfect."
(Srila Prabhupada, Back to Godhead magazine, Vol. 13, No. 1-2).

Sri Krishna in Bhagavad Gita says that, "All beings follow My path in all respects, O Arjuna."

Doesn't mean these are all the same or lead to the same places! They are not all one at all, they are more easily characterized as infinitely variegated. What is that self that is from Godhead?

If we wish to remember our eternal nature, we who are yet encumbered must choose a process that works for our self transformation. Then having acheived that, and even along the way to an extent, we can work for the benefits of all the others. No one in Vaikuntha is selfish or has material desires, but they exchange services of love. Their sole business of exchanging varieties of loving relationships, like hamonius or beautiful music, is the essential dharma or nature of all things, and even our own selves.

But many are too egotistical to surrender their false egos in their, the Divine Couple's, and their devotees' service. They harbor a seperatist mentality of aloofness. they are not subject to Godhead's order. Demonically, they instead make demands of God, and set hurdles that taunt the truth, that taunt innocent others, and abuse others in this process.

But one must be as a child to enter heaven, one must be pure and accept the guidance of the Godhead, always and in all things. To think oneself independent is a type of spiritual madness.

God bless one and all.
