Category:Now It Is Up To Us (Disciples of SP)
Theme Analysis
The responsibility of maintaining and expanding a worldwide spiritual movement cannot rest solely on the shoulders of the founder. In this profound and sobering category, Śrīla Prabhupāda explicitly passes the torch to his followers, making it clear that they must now take full ownership of the institution. He has provided the philosophy, the temples, the management structure, and the exact formula for spiritual perfection. Now, the heavy burden of pushing the mission forward, maintaining strict purity, and individually returning back to Godhead relies entirely on the serious dedication of the disciples themselves.
- The Global Preaching Mandate: The historic mission of Lord Caitanya has been officially handed over to the disciples, who must now step up as capable leaders and push the movement into every corner of the world.
- Protecting Institutional Purity: Without strict adherence to the foundational principles, the society will simply become an ordinary, mundane organization; therefore, protecting its absolute sanctity is paramount.
- Reliance on the Administration: Practical governance and conflict resolution are formally delegated to the Governing Body Commission and local managers, forcing the disciples to cooperatively manage the massive properties and finances.
- Individual Spiritual Responsibility: While the perfect process has been freely given, it is entirely up to the individual to practice it seriously and make the conscious choice to become divine rather than falling down.
- Vigilance Against Illusion: The path of spiritual life begins at initiation, but because the modes of material nature are immensely strong, devotees must be highly vigilant to ensure their further development.
- Compassion and Rectification: Preachers must be prepared to face awkward circumstances and deal patiently with conditioned souls, choosing to lovingly rectify their past bad habits rather than harshly rejecting them.
