Common people blindly follow the blind ……………….Nectarean Mellows
Srila Prabhupada explains the principle behind the various forms and incarnations of the Supreme Personality of Godhead - It is compassion, it is love, it is mercy. I was just day before yesterday listening to a tape of Srila Prabhupada giving lecture and he was discussing Lord Buddha. He was actually praising so enthusiastically the mercy of Lord Buddha. People were misusing the Vedic principles to justify slaughtering animals, cruelty. This is a common thing in all religions throughout the world. Throughout the history of mankind, I don’t believe there is any spiritual path or religion that is exempt to this deviation of utilizing the words of the scriptures to justify one’s own egoistic purposes in life. This is a very very dangerous situation. We see in the world today people all over the world are terrified of terrorism and the most dangerous of all terrorism is that which is based on religious ideas. Or clever intelligent people somehow or other manipulate the words of the scriptures in such a way, through various forms of word jugglery to justify and authorize their envy, their hatred. And common people blindly follow the blind.

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
To see a Vaishnava and not become happy is an offence.
Humility is not just a part of devotional service; it is the heart of devotional service.
It is important to remind ourselves that at the end of the day, all we really have is each other.
Combined unity is better than individual purity.
