Haribol! I am deeply grateful to you for sharing this profound wisdom with me. While detachment from saṃsāra can lead to liberation, even such detachment cannot bestow the divine love of Kṛṣṇa (Kṛṣṇa prema). May Śrī Gauranga Mahāprabhu bless us with His infinite mercy so that we may cultivate pure love for Kṛṣṇa in our hearts.
Hare Krsna
The barrier that prevents love of Godhead is the false ego. It is overcome in proportion to surrender unto Lord Sri Krsna.
Hari Bol
Hare Kṛṣṇa Prabhu.
Do you think that only false ego is hindering us from attaining pure love? So, in this way, jain-muni's would have immense love for Kṛṣṇa? Isn't?
Hare Krsna
The false ego is the junction between matter and spirit. It is the most subtle element. In fact as explained by Kapila Muni in the 3rd Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam, false ego exists in three modes, goodness, passion and ignorance. When there is a transformation in the false ego in the mode of goodness, the mind is generated.
When there is a transformation in the false ego in the mode of passion, the intelligence is generated.
When there is a transformation in the false ego in the mode of ignorance, the sky, air, fire, water and earth are generated.
These transformations take place when the Supreme Lord glances over material nature.
So, if you are calling it only false ego and that Jain Muni's have surpassed the false ego, which anyway is not possible without the causeless mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Then I am here to tell you, that we are not interested in any other texts on this forum other than Bhaktivedanta literature.
Hare Kṛṣṇa.
The Jain sādhus doesn't have any kāma, krodha, lobha, moha, etc. So, how can it comes under false ego? They don't have any material desires rather than bringing the soul towards divine.
Who was composing this definitions in the medieval age?
There is nothing to prove Mataji.
I was born in a Sikh family and that doesn't prevent me from following the books of Prabhupada wholeheartedly. Not the morning walk lectures though because all are not accessible and because Prabhupada said I will go on living in my books especially the Srimad-Bhagavatam.
I am sorry too mata ji, you are very honest, some misunderstanding can always happen and I am so glad you did not react.
All is well that end's well!
Sikh means to learn.
It is a way of humbling yourself that I don't know anything, I need to learn. Hence, minimizing the importance of false ego as the knower of everything. That is the way to progress spiritually. By definition, an Aryan is one who is always spiritually advancing. A Sikh is therefore non different from an Aryan.
If false ego hinders us from getting back to Godhead, then identifying ourselves solely as 'I am Muslim,' 'I am Sikh,' 'I am Jain,' or 'I am Christian'—doesn’t this also hinder the attainment of divine love (prema)? A devotee must be free from all such designations (label). He should be sincerely surrendered to the absolute truth - Kṛṣṇa.
I have also deleted all my comments.
