Category:If We Have Got (Disciples of SP)
Theme Analysis
Śrīla Prabhupāda’s highly practical instructions reveal that spiritual advancement depends entirely on how one utilizes their current assets. He teaches his followers that whatever situations, resources, or conditions they possess must be entirely directed toward Kṛṣṇa's service. For example, he stresses that if one has got extra time, it must be used for chanting extra rounds rather than idle sense gratification. He assures his followers that if they have got a bona fide spiritual guide and faithfully follow instructions, perfection is completely guaranteed. Ultimately, he urges his disciples to be satisfied with whatever they have got by nature's arrangement and to use all their sincerity to finish their spiritual business in this very lifetime.
- Sincere Desire Guarantees Perfection: Even if a disciple possesses ulterior motives, having a sincere desire to preach and follow the guru guarantees ultimate success.
- Utilizing Time for Chanting: Because human life is short, any extra time a devotee has got should be dedicated to chanting extra rounds rather than mundane activities.
- Maximizing Preaching Resources: If the society has got a printing press, standing orders, or travel opportunities, these assets must be aggressively used for global preaching.
- Deepening Devotional Practices: If a devotee has got sufficient devotion, they can perceive the Supreme Lord directly in the deity and keep Him constantly within their heart.
- Engaging Material Circumstances: Followers must utilize whatever material circumstances they have got—whether in marriage, farming, or facing societal challenges—directly for the Lord's mission.
