Eat the Bhagavatam

“Therefore we are fortunate that we follow sadhana, that is, we eat prasad.  And of course, not only that we are just eating prasad, but out of all the different types of eating that we are doing, the most important food is the Srimad Bhagavatam.  Because unless we hear the Srimad Bhagavatam and digest it, by trying to understand it. Unless we are hungry to eat the Srimad Bhagavatam with our ears.  If we think, “Oh, I am full, I heard yesterday that I am not this body and I am suffering from indigestion now.  I don’t want an another word.  I am already depressed enough.  That Krishna is God and I can’t be God.  All my hopes of material happiness have been discouraged.  I have heard enough of Bhagavatam for the next three years.”  No, we have to become hungry to hear the Srimad Bhagavatam otherwise it will not enter into our ears.
 
Just like you are at a big feast, and suddenly someone has given you a big big samosa and you have just eaten twice as much as your could possibly, your stomach is only so big and you have eaten so much.  The last katchuri that you ate came out of your ear.  So then someone comes and offers you a samosa and you don’t want to eat it because you had enough. So one has to become hungry, because we have not digested the food we have eaten.
 
So one has to hear the Bhagavatam through the ears, and then actually try to assimilate. Try to understand it, try to digest it. And do a little exercise, called putting it into practice and that way we actually digest it, experience it, realize it, and then become hungry for more of the Bhagavatam.  Then whatever we are doing, if we hear the Bhagavatam, we will be able to do it in Krishna Consciousness.  And therefore, it will no longer be sense objects that we are dealing with it will be spiritual objects.”

If They don’t follow it, it is alright. But if anyone else who does follow it, they are condemned.

“The Christians have their scripture and anyone who doesn’t follow it is a heathen. The Muslims has theirs and anyone who doesn’t follow it is a kafir The Jewish have theirs. Everyone has their scripture, but no one follows it. If They don’t follow it, it is alright. But if anyone else who does follow it, they are condemned. Kali yuga.”

My Notes from a Class by Prahladananda Swami yesterday

•dream world.
some people are living a dream but they want to have a better dream. They’re having a nightmare but they want to have a nice dream but the ancient Vedic texts say we should wake up from our dream and experience real awake blissful life.

•faulty shelter
if we don’t hear about the nice shelter of krsna, if we don’t have a type of faith okitties in the krsnas divine shelter we must take shelter of police, fences, seat belts helmets etc but as long as we put our faith, dependence or trust in these temporary and limited shelters krsna will not reveal himself to us. Just like if I don’t trust you to tell you some inner thing then you probably won’t reveal your self to me either.

• Once upon a time only 150 years ago we’d just go to the well and collect the water but now were predicting a war on water and the water from the tap is questionable whether it’s even pure water because it’s got oestrogen from all the contraceptive pills ppl take that goes back into water and which is what was used by hitler to dumb ppl down.

•We used to just through some seeds in the ground and grow some veges and grains but now we forgot that art and science because were too busy trying to manipulate our remotes to Change the channel on the tv.

•We used to just breath but now in some parts of the world at certain times of the day we have to buy some air if we want to breath. So only if your very rich can you breath.

We used to just go to the beach to be refreshed, bathe and have fun with friends, now we go to the movies and watch a 4d film that squirts water at you so you actually feel like your at the beach and of course we gotta pay for that to.
Anger is an advanced stage of frustration and the root of this frustration is that were trying to be god but were not and we we gate the fact that were not god and any one who doesn’t realise your god is a rascal and any one who helps us be god or acknowledges our self acclaimed godhood is very nice.
•Attachment to result and the desire to enjoy ones activities makes its extremely hard just to

You so agitated thinking about your plans that you don’t live in the moment rather you live in an wishful future.
