Home Multimedia Video Friction to Stop the Machine

 

As Vaisnavas, we have a rare opportunity to understand how world events are ultimately shaped. The cause of all causes is not just that events are taking place in Kaliyuga, or that it’s a demoniac culture, but that there’s an asiddhantic philosophy behind all the action. As devotees, we're able to identify what that bogus philosophy is.


In the case of this film, "Let Your Life be a Friction to Stop the Machine", the overall philosophy is Capitalism and Democracy, which are both bogus constructs. But as Srila Prabhupada identified, the fact is that Darwinism is at the root of modern evil. And Darwinism is the overriding equivalent of Mayavada philosophy. In other words, it’s a demoniac philosophy that is shaping all societal activity, both individual and collective.


The bewildered karmis are trying to put their finger on the cause, but they can never see the real truth, the complete truth, because they're not connected to the Sampradaya Acaryas.


Our purpose in posting this very heavy video is not to encourage the devotees to get involved in radical politics, or entangled in political activism. The point is that the video stands as an excellent example of the fact that at the core of every problem, there is a philosophical problem. This film is a vivid reminder that we must take heed of sastric declarations on the dangers of maya in Kaliyuga. Seeing truth through the eyes of sastra, the lives of devotees inherently serve as friction in the great materialist machine.

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.
