Become wealthy for Krishna - Bhakti Charu Swami

Monday 16/04/07

Notes from Abhaya prabhu’s class: “Why does Shrimad Bhagavatam describe things about the material world? To show how it is a product of intelligence, logic, authority and how different planets are constantly interacting and interdependent.”

I heard Bhakti Charu Swami lecture on mp3 cd player today: “Mode of passion is when you want to make a million pounds to acquire wealth, power, prestige and sense gratification. Mode of transcendence (or pure bhakti) means that even though I don’t particularly want to earn lots of money, I am striving to make a million pounds for Krishna because my guru has ordered me to do so.” Also, “Real fame means to be recognized by Krishna.”

Notes from Shrimad Bhagavatam reading (3.9.22 purport): “Without knowledge of the presence of God in every living entity, any so-called advancement of human civilization, either spiritual or material, is to be understood as being in the mode of ignorance.”
