Dogmatic Selfcentered Person's Comment

If we are really Krsna conscious, then our business is to repeat the words of Krsna. That's all. What is the difference between a Krsna's representative and non-representative? The representative of Krsna will simply repeat what Krsna says. That's all. He becomes representative. It doesn't require much qualification. You simply repeat with firm conviction. As Krsna says, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja [Bg. 18.66]. So one who has accepted this fact, that, "If I surrender to Krsna, my all business is successful," he is Krsna's representative. That's all.

You don't require to be very highly educated or advanced. Simply if you simply accept that what Krsna says... Just like Arjuna said, sarvam etam rtam manye yad vadasi kesava: "My dear Krsna, Kesava, whatever You are saying, I accept it, without any change." That is bhakta. Therefore Arjuna is addressed, bhakto 'si. This is the bhakta's business. Why shall I think of Krsna as like me, ordinary man? This is the difference between a bhakta and not bhakta. A bhakta knows that "I am insignificant, a small spark of Krsna. Krsna is individual person. I am also individual person. But when we consider about His power and my power, I am most insignificant." This is understanding of Krsna.

There is no difficulty. Simply one must be sincere, not sinful. But a sinful man cannot understand Him. The sinful man, he will say, "Oh, Krsna is also man. I am also man. Why I am not God? He is simply God? No, I am also. I am God. You are God, you are God, every God." Just like Vivekananda said, "Why you are searching after God? Don't you see so many gods are loitering in the street?" You see. This is his God realization. This is his God realization. And he became a big man: "Oh, he is seeing everyone God."

This foolishness, this rascaldom, is going on all over the world. One does not know what is God, what is power of God, what is meant by God. They are accepting some rascal as God. As nowadays, that is going on. Another rascal has come. He is also declaring himself God. So it has become very cheap thing. But they have no brain to think that "I am claiming God; what power I have got?"

This Dogmatic Self centered Person is a coward and so he has not given his name and address; This selfish Bhakta probably never cares for service to poor; enjoys life and eats his food like a parasite on society without doing any work or helping others. He thinks only to repeat Sri Krishna's name and to eat and depend on others' labour is good and takes him to God. As Maharshi Dayanand Saraswathi has said These idle Lazy Bhaktas have spoiled Hindu Dharma and made them cowards and superstitious and selfish and lazy. They should be sent to Kashmir and Syria to make Bhajan. These lazy lots never care to read other Slokas to do their duty and help others as Said in Karma Yoga and Bhakti Yoga.
