After working with cows in close proximity for twelve years I'm convinced that substantial telepathic communication takes place among them. Likewise I'm convinced that cows send thoughts to humans as well and if we tune into the right frequency, we can effectively receive non-verbal messages from them.

 

A recent example: A street bull I know well entered the small garden to be served. That cold morning I offered him hay sprinkled with hot ginger tea, gur, flour and bran, a mixture he most relishes. After consuming his fill, he sniffed the ground and found a suitable place to sit and ruminate. I sat next to him to chant japa and relish his peaceful company. I thought, “How fortunate am I that I can serve Dharma Personified in Vrindavan.”

 

The thought he sent me was, “I am grateful to you for that wonderful meal. I especially liked the tidbits of ginger and gur as it takes the chill out of this winter morning.

 

“In return I offer you this to carefully ponder: A former sannyasi recently attributed his fall from grace to the coercion by his godbrothers to take celibacy vows though he was not fit. Later, his godbrothers again coerced him to take on administrative duties which he lacked the nature to perform. Again the same godbrothers ordered him to accept disciples, though he knew he could not set the proper example to guide them. Following their advice forced him into constant travel, which again went against his grain.

 

“His struggle to follow their insalubrious advice for thirty-five years caused him such mental anguish that he could no longer carry out his spiritual responsibilities and collapsed. Yet in his resignation letter he encouraged his disciples to take shelter of the very same godbrothers who misguided him during his entire monastic career.

 

“Does this make any sense?” asked the noble bull, ruminating with half-closed eyes.

 

My brow wrinkled as I prepared to answer in the negative.

 

He caught it, swallowed and continued: “It makes sense only if you understand the silent rule of the institutional power elite: THE CARDINAL SIN IS TO CHALLENGE OR UNDERMINE OUR AUTHORITY. All other sins are pardonable.

 

“Since the fallen sannyasi accepts the silent rule he knows that when the contents of his scrotum, prostate gland and bank account become depleted, he will be welcomed back to bolster the faith of the flock in the fallible elite and again earn the privilege of being on the institutional payroll.”

 

I pondered this as I watched him regurgitate a large wad of rumen into his mouth and studied the muscle between his eye and the base of his ear expanding and contracting in time with his chewing.

 

The bull swallowed and concluded, “The highest Truth is to distinguish reality from illusion for the welfare of all. Such Truth uproots the threefold miseries.”

 

Then he withdrew and I understood the transmission was over.

 

While I cannot verify the accuracy of the bull’s thoughts nor claim with certainty that they were received without distortion, I think they are something to chew on.

Words of Wisdom from Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura

 

 

We are put to test and trial in this world. Only those who attend the kirtana of the devotees can succeed.

 

Every spot on earth where discourses on God are held is a place of pilgrimage.

 

Possession of objects not related to Krsna is our main malady.

 

Let me not desire anything but the highest good for my worst enemies.

 

As dalliance with the body in luxury increases, so wanes the spirit of service of the Lord.

 

Those favored by God find their paths set by thorns.

 

There is no peace or happiness in our worldly life. Circumstances create turmoil and annoyance.

 

Chant the maha mantra loudly and with attachment. This will drive away inertia, worldly evils and pests.

 

Be indifferent to bazaar gossips, stick firmly to your cherished goals, no lack or impediments of the world will ever stand in your way.

 

Pay due respects to the extroverts of the world, but do not be appreciative of their manners and conduct. They are to be shaken off from your mind.

 

A devotee feels the presence of God everywhere, but one averse to the Lord denies His existence anywhere.

 

You cannot appreciate transcendental matters with the reasoning of the world. It is sheer nonsense to decry them with the measuring stick of your intellect.

 

To recite the name of Sri Krsna is bhakti.

 

Life is for the glorification of topics on Hari. If that is stopped, then what need is there to carry on life.

 

Physical illness with Hari-bhajana is preferred to physical fitness without Hari-bhajana.

 

Our span of life on earth is short. Our life will be crowned with success if the body wears out with constant discourses on Hari.

 

We are here on earth not to work as artisans for making big buildings with wood and stone but to work only as messengers for the teachings of Sri Caitanya Deva.

 

A sycophant is neither a guru or a preacher.

 

To transform the adverse desires of the jivas is the supreme duty of the most merciful. To rescue one person from the stronghold of Mahamaya is an act of superb benevolence, far superior to opening innumerable hospitals.

 

Unless we are devoted to God, secularism shall not leave us.

 

Look within. Amend yourself, rather than pry into the frailties of others.

 

In this world of Maya, averse to the Lord, full of trials and tribulations, only patience, humility and respect for others are our friends for Hari-bhajana.

 

The Lord, Gaurasundara, puts His devotees in various difficulties and associations to test their patience and strength of mind. Success depends on their good fortune.

 

When faults in others misguide and delude you - have patience, introspect, find faults in yourself. Know that others cannot harm you unless you harm yourself.

 

I wish that every selfless, tender-hearted person of Gaudiya Math will be prepared to shed two hundred gallons of blood for the nourishment of the spiritual corpus of every individual of this world.
