flat & round...
|
Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated 22nd Sept. 1976 and have noted the contents. Regarding details of the universe, be satisfied by reading only Bhagavatam. What is the use of reading other books-you are not going there. Some portion of the earth is flat. When you stand in any place you see flat, so for us to some extent it appears flat, but it is round.
(More...) So everything is there; direction is there. We can guide you-not according to our whims, but according to sastra. And if you agree to accept, then we can also cooperate with you. But if you manufacture your own way, then how we can possibly... Krsna's mission is this: yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati [Bg 4.7]. Except krsna-bhakti, bhaktya, everything is glanih. All glanih. And that can be awakened, krsna-bhakti. Just like these boys are doing. That is enunciated in the Caitanya-caritamrta: nitya-siddha krsna-everyone has krsna-bhakti. You have to awaken simply. Nitya-siddha krsna-prema sadhya kabhu naya [Cc Madhya 22.107]. It is not artificial. Sravanadi-suddha-citte karaye udaya. If the hearing about Krsna is pure... That is also confirmed in the Srimad-Bhagavatam:
(More...) Bhakti-prema: It is written the world... The earth is round and flat.
(More...) Bhakti-prema: Earth is round and flat both, together.
(More...) Bhakti-prema: First we should... We can reply it is acintya. This should be the reply. "Inconceivable."
(More...) Yasoda-nandana: If it is inconceivable, then they will say, "How we can conceive it?"
(More...) Bhakti-prema: This outer structure of the Lord is one with the Lord. It is inconceivable; it is not conceivable. Very good. It is human [indistinct].
