Hare Krishna,
Pamho,
AgtSP!
I was reading few articles on spiritual topics last week and I observed few things that do impact my present life.I posed few questions to myself like:
-Why we try to seek spirituality?
- Why most scriptures differ with each other and over supremacy of lord?
- Why are these many spiritual institutions and why people surrender to these
institutions.
- is everthing true or some mental speculations made by people in spiritual institutions.
- Who is really living a satisfactory life (Not happy life)
- How can knowledge and love of god create boundaries between people?
- Why people after gaining knowledge and importance start to behave in defensive way?
- Why should we devote ourself to something more than our parents?
- Who is devotee? the one who devoted his life to the lord or the one who followed scriptures?
I dont know what is the end result of my life but I came to the conclusion anything that produce good results and with which we progress as good human being is good and anything which brings ego,discriminating nature,delusion and dependency is bad. Please don't misunderstand me I am not talking about ISKCON or any other institution in particular.I am speaking for evey spiritual path that includes Islam,christianity,etc. People are arguing,fighting, killing and doing all sort of nonsense in the
thought that this will be accepted by the lord as this is part of their scriptural knowledge. When we can't love our fellow human and other living beings then how can we love god. If we dont serve our parents, family and society which has given so much to us by the grace of lord then how do we serve lord.

Hare Krishna Aakash Menon Prabhuji, please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
It is very nice to take care of our parents. Human beings have 7 mothers:
1. His own biological mother
2. Mother Earth
3. King's wife
4. Guru's wife
5. Cow
6. Other women who give their milk to us
So only to take care of our biological mother is not complete. What about other mothers?
Is it proper to see how many people kill cows? Is it proper not to protect them?
Only to take care of our own mother is ok, but what about other mother? Other girls and women? Many of them are being raped and many slaved...so is it proper just to take care of our own parents?
Is it enough?
We took birth million life times. And we had parents million times. We all the time took care of them. Will we continue that again? It is needed but at the same time we should not forget that Krishna is our original parent.
We are not this body but soul. And to think that this father is my father, this body is my mother is less intelligence. We are soul and soul has some other duties. Which is to take shelter of the Lord.
These suspicions is a really big obstacle in our life. :( how i am sad for that. Suspicion.
One needs unalloyed mercy of the Lord. Only by the mercy of the Lord one will be able to understand the truth.
Only by the mercy of the Lord :(
How many people are unfortunate :( how much they are in illusion :'(
