Category:Our Quarreling With Each Other (Disciples of SP)
Theme Analysis
This category collects Śrīla Prabhupāda's instructions regarding the petty bickering and quarreling that often arose among his disciples. Distinct from deep philosophical deviations, he often characterized this quarreling as "childish" or "fraternal"—similar to the insignificant arguments between husband and wife. However, he warned that while the cause might be trivial, the effect was detrimental to the mission, disturbing his peace and hindering the expansion of the movement.
- Detrimental Impact: Quarreling is described as an "unnecessary strain" that hampers the missionary ambition and disturbs Śrīla Prabhupāda’s ability to translate peacefully.
- Childish Nature: Śrīla Prabhupāda often dismissed these quarrels as "childish" or "family quarrels," advising disciples not to take them seriously, just as one ignores a spat between husband and wife.
- The Solution: The instruction is to "bury the hatchet," forget the past, and engage conjointly in service.
- Cleansing Process: He prescribes sankīrtana as the method to keep the mind clean, assuring that if everyone is absorbed in chanting, the quarreling will naturally cease.
