Although not the ultimate advice, this is quite a sound and helpful advice for the body, mind, intellect and why not for the soul as well. Because in our gardens there are millions of living entities in different varieties of bodies, mostly animals and plant bodies.They struggle for existence and make rational choices, just as we humans do. And they tolerate the four cardinal problems of material existence — birth, old age, disease and death. Take for example the above trees at the Sherwood arboretum in Brisbane, the 2032 Olympic City, Australia . How can a tree, extend a very thick and heavy branch almost horizontally and maintain it in that position for years together? It almost defies the law of gravity. These are massive, sub- tropical trees, weighting tons and tons. Perhaps fig trees: Ficus carica, family Moraceae. (MacBook dictionary).

Something unusual happened in my own garden. I cut all the grass and then in just a few days, one single plant grew very quickly to about one meter height and was leaning forward just like a snake about to attack and bite as if saying:”Why dont you just leave us alone and let us grow as we like?”

In His writings, Srila Prabhupada likes to use the word “fig” in the sense of “a worthless trifle” as in BGAII OT and new version 3, 2.35. Here again the sometimes evil minded editors put up a veil between Srila Prabhupada and the world. This deception, grave injustice and insult / affront to Srila Prabhupada is now coming to an end.

BG 2.35, new version 3: “The great generals who had very high estimation for your name and fame will consider that you have left the battlefield out of fear only, and thus they will not care a fig for you.”

I vaguely remember a true story where one of Srila Prabhupada’s Godbrothers decided to accept the renounced order of life simply by observing some insects. Please feel free to contribute if you know the reference and further details on this incident.

The ultimate advice would rather be: ” Please take advantage of Srila Prabhupada’s books and message in general (vani) to become fully self-realised and perfect your human form of life”.

Srila Prabhupada is the affectionate and more intimate name for His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Founder-Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, the founder of the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, His publishing house, as well as the founder of the Back to Godhead Magazine in the 40ties (1940), which is still going in the hands of His disciples in USA, although its CEO “His Holiness” (sacarstic mood) Sriman Nagaraja Prabhu posts an article here http://www.dandavats.com/?p=14324, which he cares to entitle “We’ re all in Maya”. This is really a plain stupid title and proclamation for that which is supposed to be a Krishna conscious article from someone who is supposed to be a responsible officer for the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) . Let him talk for himself. This is the proclamation of a servant of Maya Devi, and not the proclamation of a Krishna bhakta. In the past, I had some distasteful dealings with this individual and he automatically assumes that the person in his front is an enemy. Without hesitation and due diligence he at once assumes that you are his enemy. This is the sign of a demoniac mentality. Some ISKCON preachers are always ready to shower their audiences with a copious amount of learned words and other hackneyed formulas, when actually they are not realising at all that their foundation stands on quick sands. That is true delusion. I am using this strong word “delusion” because the editors of Srila Prabhupada’s great rendition of Bhagavad Gita have literally poisoned it by their nefarious activities. To give one example only among hundreds and perhaps thousands. In BG 2.63. they have illegally replaced Srila Prabhupada’s word “illusion” with the word “delusion”. Illusion is a common matter but delusion enters the pathological. In a subtle way they a trying to connive that the reader is CRAZY. This is manipulation, mental control and brain washing of the most underhand kind. There is an opportunity here to make a very strong legal case against ISKCON, the BBT and Jayadvaita Swami, the surviving editor.
