Lord Caitanya Will Empower Anyone Who Tries | HG Vaisesika Dasa | Super Sunday | 10 Aug 2025

We have that opportunity to save human beings whose lives are most valuable, like connecting them to the sound vibration of the spiritual world. In any case, it was the preoccupation of Śrīla Prabhupāda to render The Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, The Bhagavad-gītā, and all these priceless vibrations into written form. So obviously he labored for this, and that's what Prabhupāda calls kriyāsu, manual labor. And in the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, Tenth Canto, Second Chapter, Thirty-seventh Verse, Prabhupāda writes the following in his purport, from this famous verse spoken by the demigods to Lord Kṛṣṇa in the womb. It's the last paragraph. He says: "The word kriyāsu, meaning “by manual labor” or “by work,” is important in this verse. One should engage in practical service to The Lord. In our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, all our activities are concentrated upon distributing Kṛṣṇa literature. This is very important. One may approach any person and induce him to read Kṛṣṇa literature so that in the future he also may become a devotee. Such activities are recommended in this verse. Kriyāsu yas tvac-caraṇāravindayoḥ. Such activities will always remind the devotees of The Lord’s lotus feet. By fully concentrating on distributing books for Kṛṣṇa, one is fully absorbed in Kṛṣṇa. This is samādhi." Couldn't be any clearer. I'll just make one last point, because we would like to hear from the devotees from various parts of the world what kind of manual labor they are engaged in to distribute the books. First comes pledges, then comes the mercy. In fact, when people are depressed, psychologists say, "Find something you can do," and then your mind will rise to the occasion. If I say, "Oh, I can't do anything," and then I say, "Well, that way I won't do any manual labor," then you'll just stay in that doldrum. This is a movement for those who want to take risks. The biggest risk is making a pledge and saying, "I'm going to do something." And therefore our battle cry is, "Assume it can be done." What's illegal is keeping a list of all the reasons it can't be done. If somebody keeps a list like that, they should hide it very carefully, because if we find it, you are going to be in big trouble, and definitely don't bring it with you wherever you go. Just assume it can be done. Take a risk. Life is short. Try to do this. Kṛṣṇa is doing it anyway; we are just instruments. We have to rise to an occasion. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #bhadrapurnima #gotogoloka #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose
