Managing of spiritual life by perfect spiritual master
Tatostha Bhakti Sidantam
Sudhya Bhakti Sudhya Janna
Utfullaym Utpatti Jukti
Jukti Kebalo Jannat Hari
The maturity of devotion that is expressed through pure devotional services and pure spiritual knowledge is when one becomes puffed up, one starts many debates. But only one wise person should try to realize all debates based on the spiritual knowledge delivered by Hari in Bhagavat Gita and Bhagavat Puranas.
PURPORT:
In this material world always there is quarrel because of many debates come from material way of life everyday every where. When one tries to understand all material activities living in this material world, one becomes completely bewilder and can not come to any definite conclusion what is real and what not. Such a bewilder soul always tries to find some person who can clarify one’s doubt and thus engages in different material discussion and finally started quarreling. But one wise soul must search every answer from religious scriptures that Bhagavat Gita and Bhagavat Puranas. Prabhupada is such wise spiritual master had mentioned repeatedly that He is within those scriptures. Thus all disciples of Prabhupada and His followers always go through the scriptures written by Prabhupada and other vaisnava Gurus and try to find all answers related to spiritual question.
Managing material life in material world is always very difficult. But managing spiritual life in material or spiritual world is not difficult. Thus one must try to find one’s goal that though ISKCON is one institution is created to uplift all suffering souls above material engagement, the whole purpose of this body is to provide spiritual knowledge and to manage spiritual life. Thus, the initiation process is first guidance to material life to bring them to spiritual life. For that many spiritual masters should focus how they successfully can impart knowledge of spiritual life to their followers of material life. What kind of association must be suggested for a soul living in mode of passion or living in mode of goodness? In that context Bhagavat Gita provides complete knowledge. More to Bhagavat Gita, Bhagavat Puranas has many such stories. Thus finally, it is truth that one realized spiritual master only can give realized knowledge to most wise disciples. In that context, though one spiritual master can have many disciples and devotees, coming from different material mode of life but spiritual master should impart appropriate knowledge to appropriate devotee based on the guidance of Bhagavat Gita and Bhagavat Puran. It is like a doctor seeing one patient and seeing its symptoms prescribes appropriate medicine. Thus, managing of spiritual life must be followed by Prabhupada’s written scriptures and also from other vaisnava scriptures with many examples related to various material mode of life. Other than this following modern style of people management like any business organization can not be so successful for managing people those who want to be engaged in devotional services. If it is so successful process of managing spiritual lives then all business organization would have become one topmost spiritual organization and Prabhupada would have not made ISKCON. Rather Prabhupada Himself would have been engaged in His own pharmacy business and could have many devotees through that business. All glory to Prabhupad! All glory to Mohaprabhu! All glory to Narahari Narashima Dev! All glory to Pancha Tattva! All glory to Mayapur! All glory to associates Vaisanavas! Hare Krsna! Haribol!
