Sweet and Beautiful Medicine for Material Existence
Q: Laulyam, spiritual greed: where does it come from? How it manifests and how to increase its presence in our hearts?
Spiritual hunger and how to get it. – Competition for the soul. – Hankering is not curiosity out of boredom. – Self-giving is the price to be paid. – Association is the service. – Not entertainment or intellectual approach. – Not historical or imaginary: the descend of the divine pastimes. — About “discovering” new literature. — Religion is the problem? — Reality potential: what’s going on in the spiritual world. — Mayavada and mundane sexuality. — How to take people from the lowest position to the highest? — Sukadev Goswami tells Srimad Bhagavatam. — A perfect opportunity to deal with mortality. — False shelters. — Time wasted or not? — All your senses must be used for Krishna only. — Impossibility of separation with Krishna. — Feasting on hari-katha. — The sweet medicine for heart disease. — Fearful and fearless worlds. — Srimad Jajavar Maharaj takes sannyas. — Taking shelter of the fearless world.
Through superior association our capacity for appreciation improves.
We know, you can’t fake hunger – you’re either hungry or you’re not. And if there is no hunger – there will be no appreciation.
To actually make progress in Krishna consciousness requires some atma-samarpanam, self-sacrifice, self-giving.
Just physical proximity does not mean association. If we are appreciating something real and substantial, then we will offer ourselves in service – then there is a real connection.
Service, the current of service brings illumination and revelation — then things become clear, real, substantial.
