751216 Lecture - Srila Prabhupada Speaks a Nectar Drop in Bombay
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
"spiritual instruction does not depend on any material condition. In any position one can understand spiritual instruction. Ahaituky apratihatā yenātmā samprasīdati.
That is first-class religion, sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo. Parā means supreme. There are different types of religion, but the supreme religion is parā dharma, that is yato bhaktir adhokṣaje, that religious system which instructs the followers how to become a perfect devotee of the Supreme Lord. That is first-class religion. We are fighting in this material world. "You are Hindu," "I am Muslim," "I am Sikh," "I am Jain," "I am this," "I am that," but this is not paro dharma; this is aparo dharma. Parā and aparā, there are two qualities, just like material and spiritual." |
