    nāsac-chāstreṣu sajjeta
    nopajīveta jīvikām
    vāda-vādāḿs tyajet tarkān
    pakṣaḿ kaḿca na saḿśrayet
    Literature that is a useless waste of time — in other words, literature without spiritual benefit — should be rejected. One should not become a professional teacher as a means of earning one's livelihood, nor should one indulge in arguments and counter-arguments. Nor should one take shelter of any ...cause or faction.
    A person desiring to advance in spiritual understanding should be extremely careful to avoid reading ordinary literature. The world is full of ordinary literature that creates unnecessary agitation in the mind. Such literature, including newspapers, dramas, novels and magazines, is factually not meant for advancement in spiritual knowledge. Indeed, it has been described as a place of enjoyment for crows (tad vāyasaḿ tīrtham). Anyone advancing in spiritual knowledge must reject such literature. Furthermore, one should not concern oneself with the conclusions of various logicians or philosophers. Of course, those who preach sometimes need to argue with the contentions of opponents, but as much as possible one should avoid an argumentative attitude. In this connection, Śrīla Madhvācārya says:

    aprayojana-pakṣaḿ na saḿśrayet
    nāprayojana-pakṣī syān
    na vṛthā śiṣya-bandha-kṛt
    na codāsīnaḥ śāstrāṇi
    na viruddhāni cābhyaset
    na vyākhyayopajīveta
    na niṣiddhān samācaret
    evam-bhūto yatir yāti
    tad-eka-śaraṇo harim

    "There is no need to take shelter of unnecessary literature or concern oneself with many so-called philosophers and thinkers who are useless for spiritual advancement. Nor should one accept a disciple for the sake of fashion or popularity. One should be callous to these so-called śāstras, neither opposing nor favoring them, and one should not earn one's livelihood by taking money for explaining śāstra. A sannyāsī must always be neutral and seek the means to advance in spiritual life, taking full shelter under the lotus feet of the Lord."

Prayer request for friend's departed father

Hare Krishna,I wish to request and submit my prayer for a friend's departed father. I am pursuing a B.Ed. degree and my colleague Arun Kumar's father departed the 20th of this June.
