BHAKTISIDDHANTA

"The mahajanas (the great spiritual authorities) have advised that one’s humility should not be made evident in front of anyone and everyone.

To express one’s humility in front of an atheist who is envious of sri guru and the Vaisnavas, in front of a

In fact, such a misplaced display of humility is an act of violence toward other living entities."

Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura

BHAKTI TIRTHA SWAMI ON RAISING CONSCIOUSNESS

BHAKTI TIRTHA SWAMI ON RAISING CONSCIOUSNESS For someone like Bhakti Tirtha Swami, karma has very little to do with his sojourn in the material world. A person who works on behalf of God functions according to different laws altogether. Depending on just how devoted to God they are, such persons are not forced to take birth, nor do they die because of a predetermined action/reaction schema. Rather, they come into this world to help others, to share love of God and to encourage people to raise their consciousness. They are emissaries of the Divine, and their business in the material world, though externally appearing much like anyone else's, is of an entirely different nature. So, too, is their death of a different nature. They leave when they hear the call of the Lord, when His divine flute signals them that there is work to do somewhere else.
