1) lake many stones many places many concentric circles = Material world
2) lake many stones one place, one concentric circles = Perfect harmony, spiritual world.
3) Vraja vasi are fully tuned only to Sri Krishna Desires.
4) Material world is we throw stones where we like. Spiritual world is where we throw stones in centre in perfect harmony.
5) In kirtan someone may sing his own same tune, whatever the leading singer is singing
6) In kirtan Dance, all are moing forward, this one person is going back, and vice versa
7) Imagine where we are in Bhavataam class, where service of one person
is to speak, and other service is to listen. But imagine a class where
the listereners say why should i not speak, if every one is speaking in
bhagavatam class
8) This s material world, Krishna is seeing us all talking and not listening at all to what Krishna is explaining.
9) It will work well when everyone works in uniformity.
10) That is spiritaul world.
11) Krishna says worship Govardan and give up your generations of puja
to Indra, the Braja vasis agreed and did what He asked and how He asked
to worship.
12) What is result of doing this , as expalined in Gita it is
"tushyanti ca ramanti ca",
13) We see the world though our tainted glasses, we see the world blue or red though it is not so.
14) one mans poison is other mans food.
15) So Indra became offended. the Braja Vasi's were in bliss.
16) We have hope agrainst hope that things are not happeneing against our desires.
17) As Leaders we some time want to every aspect of our subordinates.
18) We may hope against hope that our councelle will not go to
Vrindavan without asking me. But when he does, they we amy react with
anger or be diplomatic "aaj kaal you are not not even looking t me huh,
you went to vrindavan without asking me hih, i know i am very fallen,
but ....", we want to devotee to respond with our glories
"no no prabhuji, i am still inspired by you, you are so nice ..." , we are afflited with pride.
19) This was the situation of Indra.
20) So many people were already worshipping him, but this one village insignificant did not worship him and he became offended.
21) The true test of a leader or even a genuine devotee is not how
loyal he is with his friends. It is not frield in need is friend indeed.
We may help a friend in need out of some desire to feel superiority.
22) How thrilled we are when a friend suceeds !
23) That is the test !
24) The worst thing we can do is to get angry when this happens, we are
devotees, so the worst thing we can do is to tolerate and at the same
time thinking "some day he will be exposed !"
25) Being happy on others sucess is also not enough ! That is also just in the heart.
26) A vaishava celebrates other success !
27) there is some action involved in that , it is not just in the heart !
28) It is a quality of a genuine Vaishnava ! celebrates other success !
29) Yudhistir was not unhppy that Arjuna had so many divine weapons! or that Bhima had so much more strength.
30) A leader is never insecure in his leadership
31) Indra was evry very insecure in his leadership
32) Krishna showed by this example His complete disgust at insecure leadership.
33) Some sings out of tune in Kirtan it is not so good, but some has a
very loud voice and he sings out of tune in kirtan then that creates
complete confusion and disturbance.
34) simliarly a simple devotee may not cause so much problems, but a leader if he is insecure, he causes so many problems.
35) the whole leela of Indra, from a leadership perspective, is to show how Krishna did not like insecure leadership.
36) Insecureity is due to constant comparision with others.
37) What i have is not important, what others have more than or less than me is very imp !
38) compare this this spiritual world, Sri Hanuman Ji so so fully
satisfied in his dasya rasa , and does not feel the need to do anything
else.
39) how relative is the material world and how harmonious is the spiriual world.
40) competeing is material quality, but complementing is spitual mood !
41) it is not that udhhava when he went he went to Braja, he saw the
greatness of the Braja vasi , he wanted to became a gopi, no no , he
wanted to become a grass in Braja, just complemening our service.
42) Many times in a gathering when we do not get to speak we might become depressed !
43) but That was not the mood during the mahaprakash leela at the time of Sriman Mahaprabhu !
44) One by one many people were called, but one was thinking when will
my turn come ! they were seeing other getting mercy and simply becoming
very very happy seeing that others were getting mercy, complimenting
them.
45) That was the mood of the Braja vasi's
46) Rupa
GoSwami at Sri Jagannath Puri Dham with Mahaprabhu and his associates,
so much junior devotee than Sri Swaroop damodar goswami, Haridas thakur,
Sri Ramananda raya and others.
47) Mahaprabhu was glorifying him
and all others were so very happy complimenting him, jai rupa goswami,
not that you are dabir khas, you even worked for a yavana king.
48) They were all so happy, he is sampradaya achaya, sri chaitanya mano bhistam.
49) reasons to be insecuere
a) Do it all my self to hog all limelight, if some one else is in
limelight i do not like it. It is very very subltle. when other people
get glorified and you are happy with it, be sure that you are insecure.
b) When you see juniors doing well, and you are not happy, not encouraging that person, be sure you are insecure.
50) we get out of insecurity by remembering always our fallen condition, our insignificance
51) pride is the mother of all these anarthas
52) pride causes insecurity, scarcity. small thinking , small conciousness
53) we know the story of punar mustika bhava, it has deep signifiance.
we do what we do because of the mercy of Guru , Sadhus, and senior
vaishnavas.
54) We are mice like, but doing things like lions, because of this mercy we have.
55) We have seen this time and again, we have no right to judge them,
but we see somone comes like a mice, becomes a lion in KC and pride
causes them to become mice again, it is very very painfull but is needed
in KC.
56) HH Rasamrita Swami Maharaj is sitting in this class. He
is worshippable by me and so many others. He is our dear siksha guru. HG
Jana Nivas Prabhu and HG Pankanja Arngri Prabhu's are in manaypur. they
are more senior than most of the poeple there. Yet they are there is
every Bhagavatam Class.
57) This so called seniority is very very
dangerous for us, we should always think of ourselves as struggling
sadhana devotees and not anything else.
58) We have a choice, either
act like Indra Dev or act like Braja vasis's, Udhhava Ji, The
Asscociates of Lord Chaitanya etc ...
