The Absolute & Relative Considerations

Bhakti Lalita: Srila B.R. Sridhar-Dev Goswami Maharaj, He would speak about the relative and absolute considerations and the need to harmonize between the two. 0:00:30 And if it wasn't possible to harmonize - then to take the side of the Absolute is always a higher consideration, a higher practice. So, an example, my example, i like to use is that in the absolute sense in spiritual speaking, transcendentally speaking according to absolute truth.

I'm spirit soul, i'm a spiritual being, jiva shakti. A tiny finite, particle of the infinite. Part and parcel, spiritual nature and i'm not this body.

.8 Absolutely speaking, i'm a soul thats in this temporary covering of the body. And it happens to be a body of a women in this lifetime, this particular time. But on a plan a relativity, i harmonizing with absolute, knowing i'm not this body, but i'm in this women's body at the time being and i respect this position, and i live according to the rules and etiquettes of being a women.

I stay in a women's ashram not in the men's ashram. I wear a sari, not a dhoti and, like that.

I observe what is appropriate being in a woman's body and knowing that this is temporary and relative, but it's harmonized.

I'm servitor of Krishna  "jivera 'svarupa' haya -- krsnera 'nitya-dasa'". I'm eternal servant of Krishna, but at this time i will exept my circumstance and utilize it for the best possible thing and be humble servant of Krishna and Guru, and this way.

Go on harmonizing with the relative in the absolute. We know Absolute truth is reveal to us through the channel of Guru Parampara, like the telescopic system so many linses showing us what is absolute. And it's brought to us in this plan of relativity.

So, we're accepting this knowledge is revealed truth is, descending knowledge and harmonizing with it and in this way we can have well-adjusted spiritual life and utilize are precious time in lives for service, and be progressive, spiritual practitioners.
