Vaishnava aparadh: Krsna takes it so seriously ……………….Nectarean Mellows

So therefore Srila Prabhupada is giving us this very very vital instruction, that real non-violence is not just ceasing murder and bloodshed. That’s the grossest form of non-violence. But vaisnava aparadha that is violence not only of the body but can be violence of the mouth; speaking in such a way to hurt another person’s heart out of carelessness or out of envy or out of ego- that is an offense. Sometimes we speak the truth nicely and we hurt people’s hearts but if we are doing it out of compassion that’s not offensive. But if there’s ego, if there is some envy and we speak and hurt another person that is violence. And Krishna takes it so serious that you may fall down because of that violence of the mouth. In fact Caitanya Mahaprabhu said blaspheming a devotee is like drinking poison. Praising devotee and Krishna is like drinking nectar. So if we have actually a position of humility and pridelessness which Prabhupada is emphasizing herein, then we can actually understand what is the spiritual principle of ahimsa. What is actual non-violence? Para upkar. Really welfare of other living beings. As long as we want to be the master, as long as we want to be controller, as long as we have this desire for possession for pratistha, as long as we have this desire for enjoyment either on the gross or subtle levels then we are impelled to various activities that unnecessarily hurt other people’s hearts or disregard other species of lives’ hearts.

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.
