Category:Our Love (Disciples of SP)
Theme Analysis
The central philosophy of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is the awakening of pure, dormant love of God. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that every living entity has an innate loving propensity that is currently frustrated because it is misplaced in the material world. By directing this love toward Kṛṣṇa through strict devotional practice, one's love naturally expands to include all living entities. Within the society of devotees, this love must manifest practically as deep mutual trust, cooperation, and voluntary obedience to the spiritual master. Ultimately, Kṛṣṇa cannot be understood through mundane endeavor, but He reveals Himself only to those whose eyes are smeared with the ointment of unalloyed love.
- Awakening Dormant Love: The primary mission is not to preach a sectarian religion, but to teach people how to revive their original, dormant love for the Supreme Lord.
- Universal Compassion: Loving Kṛṣṇa automatically means loving all of His parts and parcels perfectly, which manifests as deep compassion for suffering humanity and even the protection of animals.
- Practical Devotional Service: Love is not merely a sentiment; it is proven through strict adherence to the regulative principles, chanting the holy names with devotion, and executing Deity worship.
- Divine Reciprocation: Kṛṣṇa cannot be understood by mental speculation, but He personally reveals Himself from within the heart of a sincere devotee engaged in loving service.
- Love and Trust in the Society: ISKCON is a global family that must be based on love and trust, requiring devotees to give up the fighting spirit and cooperate to please the spiritual master.
- Loving Separation: On the absolute platform, feeling separation from Kṛṣṇa and the spiritual master is even more relishable than direct meeting.
