Diary of a Traveling Sadhaka, Vol. 12, No. 4
\nBy Krishna-kripa das
\n(February 2016)
\nPreaching in North Florida, New York City, Dublin
\n(Sent from Rishikesh on March 15, 2016)
\nWealth is not a source of pleasure but a source of entanglement and anxiety.
\nOne of the King Louis\u2019s of France, was so completely disgusted with the falsity of palace life, he and some of his intimate friends would sometimes leave the palace and dress themselves as cow herds, and milk the cows and sport in the fields.
\nThere is one song where Bhaktivinoda Thakura prays he would rather take birth as an insect in the house of a devotee than Lord Brahma. Why? If you take birth as an insect in the home of a devotee, that devotee will give you protection. He will not call the exterminator.
\nLord Caitanya describes world of birth and death to be like an ocean because if you are drowning in a ocean, you have to be pulled out by someone. Similarly, we need Krishna to pull us out of samsara [the ocean of birth and death].
\nSrila Prabhupada said the love of a mother for her child is the closest thing to the unconditional love of the pure soul for God.
\nSrila Prabhupada said we should call out when we chant like a baby calling out for its mother.
