This morning HG Pragosh prabhu gave such a wonderful Bhagavatam class. I really like Prabhuji's style in giving classes as he blends his unique brand of humor with very solid philosophical points.
Today at one point in time Prabhu asked a question to the class. "Who here believes that Krsna is God?" Everyone in the class raised their hand. Prabhuji went on to explain that Srila Prabhupada said that if one has firm belief in that fact then they can render pure unalloyed devotional service. This brought him to the second question he posed to the class. "Who here engages in pure unalloyed devotional service 24/7?" Nobody raised their hand.
Prabhu went on to explain that as devotees we have to bridge this gap between "believing Krsna is god" and actually "BELIEVING that Krsna is god." We can understand that gap is being bridged when we can start to render more and more service as "ahaituki apratihata." But practically, how can we do this?
The best way is to hear real life stories as to how Krsna's mercy is so present and abundant now, here, in 2009. Prabhuji ended the class by telling an incredible story about book distribution and how Krsna can do anything. It made me realize the importance of sharing the nectar we hear and directly receive from the Lord. We can all be instruments of the Lord in a very easy way-just pass on the nectar. Who knows, you might be the next instrument Krsna uses in helping to bridge that gap for someone!
