Remembering Srila Prabhupada - A Proposal - Blog - ISKCON Desire Tree

A Proposal

Quite a few devotees in our movement are expressing dissatisfaction, albeit not without cause. Here is a proposal for solving all the problems in our society. It is based on the understanding that pure devotional service brings immediate relief from all kinds of material distress, and is the beginning of all auspiciousness (c.f. Nectar of Devotion, Chapter One). All devotees should:

(1) read Srila Prabhupada's books one to two hours daily; (2) chant and dance together in kirtana; (3) chant the holy names very carefully and with great attention.

Then we will all quickly become pure devotees, drown in the ocean of bliss, and find all our problems drowned also. Or even if difficulties remain (after all, this world is meant to be problematic), when Krsna is pleased with our sincere efforts to serve Him, surely He will bless us with the realization to overcome problems, or at least to learn how to live with them. Purity is the force.
