Srila Prabhupada - on being a Dhira.

 

 

 

 

We can become eternal, immortal, all qualified like God, if we get out of these material clutches. And for this, we have to become dhira. Dhira means, I have already explained, not to be disturbed, even the cause of disturbance is there. So that is the qualification of becoming immortal. So little tolerance of the sensation... Just like there is some sensation. If you have got some itches and you are feeling that "I should itch," but if you stop itching, this will be cured, and if you go on itching, it will increase. So itching... Anyone who has got some experience of itching... Itching is very pleasing at the time of itching, but next time it is not very pleasing. It has created so many disturbing condition. Therefore sastra says that we should try to control the itching of our senses. Then he is dhira. And as soon as you become dhira, you are the first-class candidate for going back to home, back to Godhead. So there is method; there is practice; there is process. If you like, you can adopt them -- actually there is no difficulty -- and solve all the problems of your life. This is Krsna consciousness movement. Try to understand and adopt it.
