#preaching kill demoniac mentality

Imported quote 17724

But Caitanya Mahaprabhu has shown us the way, that we kill the demons in a different way. We kill the demons in this way: by chanting Hare Krsna mantra, we purify him so that his demonic activities are stopped. That is also another way of killing. He stops his demonic activities. That is Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mercy, that He did not kill Jagai-Madhai, although He wanted to kill them because they insulted Vaisnava. But still, Nityananda Prabhu reminded Him that "In this incarnation, You promised that You'll not kill. So have merciful upon them." So their demonic activities were killed. That is also killing. Caitanya Mahaprabhu accepted Jagai-Madhai on this condition, that "You have to stop your sinful activities. Whatever you have done, that is done." So we make this condition. The demonic activities, we say, you have to stop. Whatever is done is done. Strictly following Caitanya Mahaprabhu, there is no consideration. Because one..., you were previously a demon, therefore you cannot become a Vaisnava-no. Anyone can become Vaisnava, provided he stops his demonic activities. Anyone. Anyone is welcome, provided he accepts this philosophy, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja [Bg 18.66]. So this is the way that Kunti is praying, that sneha-pasam imam drḍham chindhi. So in this way we can get rid of the so-called affection for society, friendship, love, country, nationalism... No. Our sneha, affection, is completely transferred to Krsna. That is Krsna consciousness. (More...)
