Maintaining the Whim of Conditioned Souls
BY: RAMA DASA
Oct 30, 2012 — USA (SUN) — Folks, let's wake up. Let's get real.
We started a bogus acarya system many, many years ago. As a backlash to that we have the Ritvik system; and as the acarya system went into hiding we now have the anyone can be guru system. I am not saying that everyone who is a guru in ISKCON is bogus, do not get me wrong, however the systems in place are not good.
Then to maintain the status quo, we now want to allow women gurus etc., just to keep everyone happy. This is not a movement to maintain the whim of the conditioned souls.
If we want to keep everyone happy just let them have illicit sex, let them gamble, let them take intoxication and allow them to eat meat; and then initiate them. How far can we add water to the milk until it is no longer recognizable as milk???
Where is the forest and where are the trees? (Can't see the forest for the trees, everyone get it?)
So I say it again --
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Goswami Prabhupada has said:
"This line of guru-parampara is existing up to today without any break and it will continue to exist like this in the future also. To say, 'There is no sad-guru living in the world at present and neither will there be any in the future,' is an atheistic opinion." (The True Conception of Guru)
So where is he? Where is the sad-guru? How do we see him?
Do we want to see him?
