Don't Miss The Train!!"Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura, a great acarya in the Brahma Madhva Gaudiya line, mentioned that those people who live close to the railway station miss the train more frequently than others. They tend to think, "The railway station is right here, just next to my house and I can go there anytime. "But when the train comes, they rush to get there, and before they reach, the train leaves.On the other hand, someone who is living far away thinks, "Oh, I have to go one hour ahead to get the train." So he reaches the railway station well ahead of time and waits there.Similarly, we should not be lazy or negligent with our spiritual life thinking that we are in India , the holy land. Then we may miss the vimanam, going to vaikuntha. We should book our ticket well in advance and be prepared to go to the spiritual world.Caitanya Mahaprabhu says that in Kaliyuga, to get a ticket you simply have to pay the price. Do you know what the price is?We have to chant the holy names,Hare Krishna Hare KrishnaKrishna Krishna Hare HareHare Rama Hare RamaRama Rama Hare Hare.HH Jayapataka SwamiRatha Yatra AddressHubli, Karnataka , INDIAMarch 28, 1993
Nice to know you. Thanks a lot. Sorry for the delayed reply. Actually, Srila Prabhupad's disciples are so great and so exalted that pearls of wisdom and nectar keep flowing from their lotus mouths.
