Person quotes who is strongly against( see how he tries to shout us down) our free prema-bhakti distribution program. ‘A SOBER PERSON WHO CAN TOLERATE THE URGE TO SPEAK, THE MIND’S DEMANDS, THE ACTIONS OF ANGER, AND THE URGES OF THE TONGUE, BELLY, AND GENITALS IS QUALIFIED TO MAKE DISCIPLES ALL OVER THE WORLD.’ Rupa Gosvami therefore tells us that ONE CAN BECOME A SPIRITUAL MASTER ONLY WHEN HE CAN CONTROL ALL THESE URGES.” (PoP 5)
Fish love to bathe, snakes live on air, sheep live on leaves, the ox of the oilman always moves, the crane is always meditating, a mouse lives in a hole and a lion lives in the forest. Similarly, the behavior of the socalled renunciates resembles these animals. Without purifying the consciousness, however, austerity and meditation will not give any result. "' Then the Lord quoted the Narada Pancaratra (2.6): "One who worships Hari need not perform any austerity. One who neglects the worship of Hari, also need not perform austerity. For one whom the Lord resides within and without, austerity is not needed. And for one whom Hari has not manifested within or without, doing austerities is useless. Lord Caitanya, Caitanya Mangal Madya lila chapter 1, " the demigods get prema
Comment Srila Gaurahari das. Lord Caitanya also said, " Those who awaken devotion to Krishna are certainly a Spiritual Master" Caitanya Caritamrita. There are many persons who have great faith in those whose hearts are not purified by pure love of Krishna arising in there. They consider that one is a qualified Guru if they appear to be in full control of their senses. This is mostly baloney and most are cheating the public, especially in Kali Yuga, by appearing to be goswamis. This is well known by intelligent people. Even if they were austere and renounced if love of Krishna or God has not arisen in their hearts there is no real spiritual benefit for them according to Lord Caitanya. There craftiness, deceitfulness, desire for material profit is not rooted out because they have not developed faith in the gift of love of Krishna when it is being distributed in this world by a person who has been ordered to by the disciplic succession and blessed by Lord Caitanya with being an empowered representative, or in other words a authorized distribution center for ecstatic devotion for Krishna.
Practically love of God or Krishna is arising in the hearts of many of our sanga members. This proves beyond doubt that the order of Srila Prabhupada gave me in a lucid dream in 1996 to preach the way we do is genuine and authorized. Let the false renunciates who have great faith in their austerities bark all they want but this procession is proceeding on and delivering anyone who believes in our clear, no nonsense preaching. Let the dry hearts of the illusionists who quote random verses to to fruitlessly try to defeat the reality that love of God is manifesting in our sanga members because the grace of the disciplic line and the mercy of lord Caitanya is working powerfully here backing our activities. "By their fruits they will be known" Jesus. Those who follow with faith the dry renunciates, austerity addicts path will become like barren deserts like their preaching bearing no ecstatic fruit of love of God or Krishna. There is no transcendental truth or juice there but instead lots of thorns and obstacles blocking their way.
Devotee comment: Maybe you can share some realisations about the coming of the next acharya. The one who can clean all this up. I have a feeling that soul won't be in ISKCON or any of the others Mathas.
Srila Gaurahari Das: Well I consider that we are in unique situation. I believe the next Acarya will not necessarily come from outside of ISKCON or any other vaishnava institution. He or she can come inside or outside but will be recognisable Self Effulgent, or not being dependent on using the previous Acaryas, buildings, money, uniform dress, devotees to continue their position as Spiritual Master. Such a personality is the genuine empowered suddha bhakta or devotionally awakened and spiritually mature Vaishnava. Those with a honest heart searching ardently for the truth and not too contaminated by faith in the unqualified imatatiors of the savior position bonafide Spiritual Master will be the first to identify such a devotee. The symptoms of such empowered personalities is that they will naturally explain more clearly the meaning of the verses and deep purports of Srila Prabhupada’s wonderful books better than anyone else, be they past or present day Gurus, Spiritual Masters or even alleged Acaryas. Those who are really not qualified to be a worshipable Spiritual Master, still have not realized the awakening of spontaneous devotion to Krishna, even though they maybe followed by thousands who, because of their Guru lack of real qualification, also don’t have a clear devotional conception what is the pure bhakti potency.
Real Suddha bhakti devotees are genuinely overshadowed by the divine devotional potency of Krishna, therefore their explanations will have real substance to uplift and infuse the spiritual potency increasingly in others and exorcising misconceptions and speculations taken on by hearing from those who have not genuinely realized the awakening of devotion to Krishna. Their Knowledge of the path of pure devotional service will be the result of mercy of the Chit or essence of knowledge bearing potency of Krishna. This awakens simultaneously due to the mercy of relishing the genuine Ananda portion of the personal devotional potency of Krishna. This takes form of the type of Vraja bhakti or uncommon emotional moods, character, and bodily transformations of ecstasy that originally existed in the root origin of our sampradaya, Lord Caitanya, Nityananda.
The real sahajiya are those who lay claim to the position of worshipable vaishnava spiritual master or sampradaya Acarya who’s knowledge of Krishna is still superficial and naturally speculative. Knowledge of even a Brahman, who is not yet devotionally awakened, remains external and superficial because it is not the kind of perfect knowledge that is automatically manifested by revelation or clear conclusive insights into the scriptures by the mercy of the Chit potency portion of the awakening of spontaneous devotion to Krishna.
The real goal of Christ/Krishna consciousness is is to attain pure ecstatic devotional love for God and to give that kind of loving devotion to Krishna to the world as the best of all gifts of God. It's not just making a show of mindlessly jumping up and down like a monkey without transcendental tears & laughter, superficially saying look how ecstatic we are. It's not to just making a great show of praising how gorgeously the deity is decorated while you lay naked your whole life of worshiping Christ or Krishna without the symptoms of ecstatic emotions decorating your body. It's not repressing real devotees or teaching others that ecstatic emotions like crying, laughing, shivering in bliss chanting Krishna's( God's name is an offensive act against the Supreme Lord. It's not deceiving those who believe and depend on you that you are a great devotee Guru but don't show any tears or other devotional symptoms listed in the devotional books because it is offensive to God to do so.
