"G u r u m u k h p a d m a v a k y a"Real compassion means respect to all living beings, including devotees ……………….Nectarean MellowsIf we take a humble position we must understand also that, if we are respectful to the animals but we are not respectful to the other human beings, what to speak of devotees, if we create violence to them by hurting them with our words, by hurting them with our actions, then we are not actually non-violent. So Caitanya Mahaprabhu, he taught us the real principle -amaaninena maanadena - To be respectful to every living being; to be respectful even to the insects. There’s that beautiful story that Sruta Kirti Prabhu tells about Srila Prabhupada when he was just sitting looking at the floor, and Sruta Kirti Prabhu was wondering, why is he looking at the floor? Prabhupada for a long time was just looking at the floor very very very compassionately, attentively. There was a tiny little insect; a tiny little insect just crawling on the floor. Then Prabhupada said, ‘he is hungry. He can’t find food here. Pick him up and put him up on the leaf outside on the tree so he can eat nicely’. Haribol! Although Srila Prabhupada is an Acarya, preaching to the masses, writing books, law books for mankind on spirituality, still he’s so much considering the welfare of an insignificant insect, taking so much time to actually help that little insect. That is compassion. Real compassion means respect to all living beings, including devotees. Haribol! It may be controversial but including devotees. Otherwise who will take seriously our discussion about closing the slaughter houses if with our words we are causing violence to other people’s hearts.H H Radhanath Swami Maharajguru-mukha-padma- vakya, cittete koriya aikya, ara na koriho mane aasa************ ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* *********Please visit our sites www.radhagopinath.com, www.radhanathswami.com, www.itsohappened.com, www.thejourneyhomebook.com for lectures, interactions etcwww.deitydarshan.com & www.vrindavandarshan.com & www.mayapur.com for online darshanwww.iskcondesiretree.com for audio video downloadswww.vedabase.net for online Srila Prabhupada bookswww.groups.yahoo.com/group/nectareanmellows for Nectars of HH Radhanath Maharajtrinad api sunicena, taror api sahishnuna, amanina manadena, kirtaniya sada HariHare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare************ ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* *********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.
