ALL OF US SHOULD HEAR PRABHUPADA

http://www.prabhupada.org.uk/shouldhear.htm


ALL OF US SHOULD
HEAR PRABHUPADA
We must admit that we have realized definitely that the divine message from his holy lips is the congenial thing for suffering humanity. All of us should hear him patiently. If we listen to the transcendental sound without unnecessary opposition, he will surely have mercy upon us. The Acarya's Message is to take us back to our original home, back to God. Let me repeat, therefore, that we should hear him patiently, follow him in the measure of our conviction, and bow down at his lotus feet for releasing us from our present causeless unwillingness for serving the Absolute and all souls.
(Srila Prabhupada's Vyasa Puja offering, 1936)
SELECTED QUOTES FROM THE BOOK

HEAR FROM PRABHUPADA
AND TUNE INTO
TRANSCENDENTAL TELEVISION
By the influence of the
 speeches of saintly persons
LIKE FIRE IN GUNPOWDER
ONE HAS TO LEARN BHAGAVATAM
FROM A PERSON YOU CAN SURRENDER
SIMPLY YOU LEND YOUR EAR TO THE 
DISCOURSES GIVEN BY REALIZED SOUL
THIS NECTAR COMING FROM THE MOUTH  OF A DEVOTEE IS SO POWERFUL

EVERYONE HAS GOT THESE EARS. SO WE SHOULD HEAR FROM THE REALIZED PERSON, GURU VAISNAVA, NOT PROFESSIONAL, NO.

TO FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS
OF THE MAHATMAS MEANS TO
GIVE SUBMISSIVE AURAL RECEPTION
TO THE WORDS AND INSTRUCTIONS
OF THE BONAFIDE SPIRITUAL MASTER

HEARING FROM THE REALIZED SOUL
IN AN ATTITUDE OF HUMBLENESS

TRY TO HEAR THE TRANSCENDENTAL MESSAGE FROM REALIZED SOUL

ALL MEN SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF HEARING FROM REALIZED SOULS

EVEN THERE IS BOOK,
STILL, ONE HAS TO LEARN IT
 BY HEARING FROM THE REALIZED SOUL

SIMPLY HEAR SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM
FROM A REALIZED SOUL,
YOU WILL BECOME PERFECT
WHEN ONE HEARS THE TRANSCENDENTAL MESSAGE
FROM THE UNDISTURBED ACARYA,
WITH FAITH AND LOVE.
BY HEARING FROM THE REALIZED SOUL,
HE WILL REALIZE EVERYTHING
YOU GO TO A PROPER PERSON, GURU,
AND HEAR FROM HIM.
HEARING MUST BE FROM SADHU,
 FROM DEVOTEE,
FROM THE LIPS OF THE DEVOTEE.
THE PURPORT IS, 
DON'T BECOME OVER INTELLIGENT.
JUST HEAR FROM THE SELF REALIZED SOUL
HEARING THE RECITATION
 OF A PURE DEVOTEE
SRUTI MEANS THE EAR.  YOU JUST GIVE THE AURAL RECEPTION 
OF THE WORDS OF THE REALIZED SOUL
FROM HIS MOUTH ONE HAS TO HEAR
GLORIFICATION OF THE LORD IS POTENT
WHEN UTTERED FROM THE MOUTH 
OF A PURE DEVOTEE
IF SPOKEN BY A REALIZED SOUL,
 IT WILL ACT ON THE DORMANT HEART 
OF THE CONDITIONED SOUL.
WHO WILL RECITE BHAGAVATAM DAILY
THIS IS THE SECRET
HEAR FROM THE RIGHT SOURCE AND DISCUSS AMONGST YOURSELVES. ISTHAGOSTHI. THEN THE PERFECTION.
AND HEARING FROM WHOM ? 
FROM A LOAFER ? NO.
FROM KRSNA OR KRSNA'S REPRESENTATIVE.
 THAT WILL EFFECT.
THE POTENT WORDS 
OF SUCH REALIZED SOULS
PENETRATE THE HEART
 
A DEVOTEE WHO SINCERELY HEARS
ABOUT HIM FROM THE REALIZED SOUL, 
HE CAN CONQUER EVEN AJITA, KRSNA.
DON'T TRY TO SEE
A SAINTLY PERSON BY YOUR EYES.
YOU SEE A SAINTLY PERSON
BY THE EAR.
 
THE DUTY OF THE SANE

UNLESS ONE HEARS
 FROM THE BONA FIDE ACARYA
ONE CANNOT HAVE THE REAL KEY
TO TRANSCENDENTAL KNOWLEDGE
 
YOU HAVE TO HEAR FROM A PERSON WHO HAS SEEN OR WHO HAS UNDERSTOOD THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH AND WHO IS TAT, SAD-GURU
HEAR ABOUT KRSNA CONSTANTLY,
THROUGH REALIZED SOUL
BY THE GRADUAL PROCESS OF HEARING
 FROM THE GREAT SAGES 
HE DEVELOPED LOVE OF GODHEAD
ONE IS REQUIRED TO APPROACH THE PROPER SPIRITUAL MASTER
WITH RECEPTIVE EARS ONLY
YOU HAVE TO HEAR FROM
THE SUPERIOR PERSON
ONE WHO IS SELF- REALIZED
WHEN A PURE VAISNAVA SPEAKS,
HE SPEAKS PERFECTLY
BY THE ASSOCIATION
WITH PURE DEVOTEE
HE BECOMES STRONGEST
 
ELIMINATING ALL OUR DIFFERENCES
WHEN A PURE DEVOTEE SPEAKS
HIS WORDS ACT UPON THE HEARTS
 OF THE AUDIENCE.
RECEIVING   SRILA PRABHUPADA'S  FAVOR
RISING ABOVE
THE BODILY CONCEPTION
SO THEY ARE SACRIFICING
THEIR EVERTHING FOR ME.  WHY?
SIMPLY BY HEARING ME. THAT’S ALL.
HEARING OUR WAY CLEAR
 TO VARNASRAMA
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
HEARING IS BETTER RECEPTION
IF ONE GIVES AURAL RECEPTION
TO THE SOUND VIBRATED
 BY GREAT DEVOTEES AND ACARYAS,
THAT ALONE WILL GIVE HIM RELIEF
FROM ALL MATERIAL CONTAMINATION.
HEAR WITH RAPT ATTENTION
FROM THE REAL PERSON
NEW BOOK FOR UNITY
