750622b Lecture - Srila Prabhupada Speaks a Nectar Drop in Los Angeles
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
"So devotees, they are not in the karma-kāṇḍa, jñāna-kāṇḍa. He is not pure devotee. Bhakti means jñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam (CC Madhya 19.167). There is no touch of this fruitive activities or speculative knowledge. The devotees do not accept this.
That is first-class bhakti, ānukūlyena kṛṣṇānu, just to satisfy Kṛṣṇa. Just like Arjuna. He was not willing to fight or to kill the other party. That is very good. He is a Vaiṣṇava. Naturally he does not like to fight or pick up quarrel with others or do some harm to others. Vaiṣṇava is para-duḥkha-duḥkhī. He knows very well that "If something harmful is done to me, I am unhappy, so why should I commit the same thing to others?"" |
