Politix

Politics is essentially about saying to krsna, "I don't believe that You can protect me so I have to organise things for myself, rely on myself, because I can't rely on You. I'm short, I'm better than You krsna".

If you're interested in politics then you're not really interested in what Srila Gurudeva and Sri Sri Radha Krsna want, you are interested in what you want, no matter how pure you view your intentions.

We are useless without krsna. Without krsna we are merely streams of karma imagining that we are ourselves when nothing could be further from the truth.

Let krsna do the organising

Krsna CAN be relied upon, karma cannot be relied upon. More than once I heard Srila Gour Govinda Swami allude to the popular saying "Trust no future, no matter how bright".

Spiritual life is the only life that can be trusted because spiritual life is right NOW, not at some time in the future. "SURRENDER JUST NOW!!!" Srila Gour Govinda Swami often said. When you are ready to surrender, you surrender.

It was necessary for Arjuna to eliminate those of mean hearted spirit

By surrendering we let krsna pull the strings and we, the puppets, dance.

Accepting everything as krsna's mercy isn't about lying down. We can still advise others, perhaps not quite the way that Arjuna "advised" others during the Kuruksetra war, but not as part of any group or party opposed to and bearing any tinge of ill will towards any other group or party, for as Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur advised us "Party spirit is the killer of bhakti" and bhakti is personal, which means doing what krsna wants in as sweet a way as possible.

Yet still krsna's will must prevail.

Any prevail it will, especially if we stop our stupid, political meddling in His affairs.

Trust Radha Krsna ... sure can!

Joy to all beings
