I am leaving this forum forever, I have renounced all of this for personal development and service to Krishna/God who is no other than my own inner controller, I had a feeling that my attendence in this forum has been unfavorable to my service to God, it was taking valuable time away from Krishna/ my service to Him. It is said that those actions that are favorable to God's service should be kept in one's daily life, those actions that are not , should be rejected. I am sure now that my involvement is only hindering my spiritual audience with krishna. I will not reply to any of your posts here anymore... because this is my last one. With regards, Sudhamshu Peace and love to all, hopefully you will all gain a personal self understanding and happiness in life that I have gained or hopefully gain more understanding than me if you have not already. Jai Sri Krishna. Jai Sat Chit Ananda.
Jedi, Hare Krishna, I have enjoyed the online association and discussions with you, have gained much from your insights, and have seen much to admire in your humble, tolerant attitude . I can't say I'm sorry to see you go, because it's the best thing...for you, for Black Bill/Snake, for Bhaskar, and for spook13/Brother Joseph...really, we've all shared something meaningful but now this karma is over for us. I have no further reason to remain here. All Blessings on your spiritual path and in your medical career! All glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga! Dandavats, with best well wishes for the future. Scott...spook13...Brother Joseph.
I feel sometimes the same thing, for instance I used to read the Bhagavatam, and it has been quite a while since I have relished its sacred pages, and felt the great peace it used to grant me. However krishna urges us to never stop preaching, and like Budha and other great beings who do not want enlightment until everyone is enlightened, salvation until everyone is saved, and Vaikuntha until everyone has heard about krishna, until everyone knows at least which way to walk, the work is not over.l
You're all leaving it seams. Perhaps this is a little note that I should leave too... or just become a lurker. Hey darling. Its been fun. I'll miss your insights. Can we please stay in touch...? At least via facebook...
I will miss you too, my brother Jedi. But I must say that your reasons to leave is ridiculous and ludicrous. Krishna himself says that He is there in the company of His devotees.Satsang or holy company , is vital. As far as I am concerned you are actually leaving Krishna through this, and setting a bad example. Satsang should be promoted always and exemplified. This forum is sacred, because in here we have tried to find out the truth through Vaada, as taught by Krishna and the rishis. Hence it is like a mother to us which nourished us with truth and wisdom. And righteousness is truth in action. And as Gandhi himself said, " God is truth." Buddha himself said ,"The gift of knowledge is the greatest gift ." And I am sure that the knowlege you have given through this forum, could be the greatest spiritual merits you have earned in your life, and which must have pleased Krishna immensely. The pen is mightier than the sword. The ink of the scholar is holier than the blood of the martyr. ---Muhammad So your contributions and the truths you have presented in your posts are holy and true karma yoga, even if you see otherwise. And though I don't like to talk about this, I will like to share a personal fact about me, which I would like to say, since you love Krishna very much, more than anything. An accomplished young yogi in south India, who is famous for his yogic powers, and karma yoga, and service to the poor and povertystricken , in a question posed by me when I visited him in his house on certain incomprehensible events in my life, used his yogic powers and stated that Krishna and the Divine Mother is there in my chaitanya ( consciousness ). And it is a fact that Krishna and the Divine Mothers books, devotees, articles and stuff keep coming to me in my life, whereever I am from a very young age and it is still the same. Signs of Krishna and the Divine Mother pops up everywhere I am, through some manner. And I had many fantastic experiences in my life. I honestly can't say whether this is a coincidence or not, and am a bit of an agnostic in this matter. I am a strict rationalist, and rationally speaking ,I can't comprehend this, and the reasons for it, but that will not make me give up reason and logic for dumb superstitions and dogmas, and I will continue to rely on them , to their logical conclusions, along with my intuitions. I didn't want to say this, but you made me say this. I have said this only to my closest friends. So considering the yogis statement, perhaps I hope you will continue your duels with me, and keep on finding the truth , and presenting it to others.
Goodbye, Jedi! I hope your journey is free from suffering and full of eternal happiness forever. Om mani padme hum! Peace and love
The only time you should leave the company of those who are willing to listen, are eager to debate, and are offering you their company and open hearts, is when you pas on to Maha-samadhi; otherwise you are fooling yourself that you have taken a greater path. As far as my experience is concerned, I myself did not enter here to share and/or preach. God knows I try to run so often, yet-- just following that natural path, I am brought to what I need to discuss, and where I need to be. It amazing, really amazing. The more and farther you try to escape, the more lost souls you find,the more you discover about God, about people and about yourself. Wasn't being a hippie about dropping out? Turn on, tune, in and drop out. It's not just a hippie slogan. What I'm trying to say is --- do as you like; since you can't escape Krishna and the righteous path, because God is everywhere you are.
I hope the readers take Krishna as an example, not Jedi. Krishna himself said , "The wise man is he who is intensely active in the midst of intense peace,and intensely peaceful in the midst of intense action. " And Krishna was the personification of this teaching of his. He was there in every aspect of life, and in the thick of action at all times fighting unrighteousness and injustice . He did not leave his house or something to become a monk in a cave . He himself taught the Bhagavad Gita in the middle of the battlefield, to Arjuna, who was deluded, and wanted to leave the battlefield and become a monk, and with his magnificent teachings eradicated Arjunas delusions and Arjuna was motivated to fight the war against unrighteousness in the spirit of the karma yogi and gave up his ludicrous ideas. What the world needs today are more Krishnas , not more Jedis. We have enough of the latter abundantly , but not much of the former. The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who do not do anything about it. ---Albert Einstein.
Thank you for your kind comments and blessings, BrotherJoseph. It is best for me to leave, or atleast become a 'lurker'. Hopefully, I will learn to let go as I become infused in krishna's love. Attachment to anything really does work against our concentration on krishna.
Krishna is everywhere dude. He is in this forum too, especially in this forum.Because that is where His devotees are, and He himself has said that He will be there where his devotees are. Attachment or psychological clinging or craving is a problem alright, but not unconditional love. If you really love Krishna you will love everything, without being attached to anything , and hence you will be there everywhere like a lotus flower, which is not wetted by water. You will be there in this sacred forum too, without being attached to it, but with love for it and its members, who too are devotees of Krishna.
You bum...just couldn't stay away, eh? hehehe. Glad to have you back, my dear. With everyone gone I had just about become ready to leave...I've def been lurking a lot lately myself.
You can't go until you answer all the question I posted about the Bhagavatam. But seriously, Knowing those stories and remembering them is more important than to even visit heaven and being a guest in INDRA'S PALACE. Along with Japa, Satsanga and Sankirtan, to know the Bhagavatam is what's most important, and those who know well, know that I don't exagerate. It was what delivered Pariksit in only seven days.
