UPDATED 261 - Concocted Religion (Civilization and Transcendence, Chapter 3)
from Sravanam Diaries · host Sulalita Devi Dasi
Very sorry for the audio mistake, episode updated !! Disciple: So many people concoct their own system and say, “This is the way to go to God.” Śrīla Prabhupāda: What can be done? If you don’t accept the laws of the state and you manufacture your own laws, then you’ll suffer. The state says, “Keep to the right.” But if you make your own law – “No, I will keep to the left” – then you’ll suffer. It’s a fact. Kṛṣṇa is personally advising: sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja: “Give up all your concocted religions and surrender to Me alone.” Take His advice and be happy. Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: How can people follow sanātana-dharma on a practical, daily basis? Śrīla Prabhupāda: How are we doing it? Is it not practical? Kṛṣṇa requests, man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru: “Always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me, and offer your obeisances to Me.” Where is the impracticality? Where is the difficulty? And Kṛṣṇa promises, mām evaiṣyasy asaṁṣaya: “If you do this, you’ll come to Me. Without any doubt you’ll come to Me.” Why don’t you do that?••• if you’d like to find links to read for free or purchase: sravanamdiaries.com/civilization-and-transcendence
