Category:If We Stick To... (Disciples of SP)
Theme Analysis
A central pillar of the guidance provided by Śrīla Prabhupāda to his followers is the absolute necessity of steadiness. In his vast correspondence and lectures, he repeatedly stressed what would happen "if they stick to" their spiritual commitments. He promised that by rigidly adhering to the regulative principles, chanting sixteen rounds daily, and maintaining their prescribed duties without whimsically changing positions, his disciples would be completely protected from māyā. He assured them that even if they experienced childlike falldowns in the beginning, the ultimate gain of going back to Godhead was guaranteed for anyone who firmly stuck to the path of pure devotional service.
- Strict Adherence to Principles: The foundation of all spiritual advancement relies on a disciple's ability to stick strictly to the four regulative principles and the daily chanting of sixteen rounds of the mahā-mantra.
- Steadiness in Duty and Location: Great importance is placed on remaining in one's assigned engagement; Śrīla Prabhupāda warned against the restless tendency to constantly change jobs or locations, urging leaders to stick to their posts and develop them nicely.
- Overcoming the Illusory Energy: The modes of material nature are insurmountable on their own, but if a devotee firmly sticks to the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, the illusory energy of māyā will entirely fail to attract them.
- Maintaining the Pure Standard: Disciples are instructed to stick only to the authorized standard established by the paramparā, which means avoiding bogus philosophies and focusing exclusively on kīrtana, prasādam distribution, and reading approved śāstra.
- The Assurance of Ultimate Perfection: Despite early imperfections, mistakes, and impediments, a profound promise is made by Śrīla Prabhupāda that anyone who sticks with determination to their service will eventually achieve complete spiritual perfection.
