Prabhupāda: So this instruction of Ṛṣabhadeva is very, very important. Try to understand. Our this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is a protest to the modern way of civilization. "
"There may sometimes be arguments about whether "truth" and "beauty" are compatible terms. One would willingly agree to express the truth, one might say, but since truth is not always beautiful—indeed, it is frequently rather startling and unpleasant—how is one to express truth and beauty at the same time? In reply, we may inform all concerned that "truth" and "beauty" are compatible terms. Indeed, we may emphatically assert that the actual truth, which is absolute, is always beautiful. The truth is so beautiful that it attracts everyone, including the truth itself. Truth is so beautiful that many sages, saints, and devotees have left everything for the sake of truth." - AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada Back to Godhead Magazine, November 1958
Jaya, RG. hang in there. We all must bear this burden. But dont over endeavor, and be cautious on sankirtana etc I know you distribute books, and we take your dust and pray for you health and well being.
Yes, we are ambassadors of a higher reality, sometimes they like it, sometimes they do not . Thats the way of it here. We just do our duties, present it appropriately, and realize that some people are just ok with prasadam and not much more.
