BE CAREFUL IN SPIRITUAL LIFE

We should not to fall down in offences

In «Srimad Bhagavatam», First Canto, there chapter one, chapter two, chapter three. Very much focus to get that life, to get help of that light, but very carefully Vedavyas is writing. We not will be (should not) fall down in an offensive hole. Side by side, it is necessary to realize this otherwise like offence to Harinam, we are chanting the Holy Name of the Lord, but not getting the proper result. That will be (the situation) in our life.

The scriptures has given so much help, so much hope to us, scriptures give, but it is necessary that we use that wisely. Otherwise we will be cheated. Materially cheating, materially cheating is not so valuable, not so much value. But spiritually if we will cheat, we'll cheated, that is very dangerous for us. Spiritually cheated, that necessary to be careful all time. Individually, we can get bhajan life. But, society, within a society bhajan life is very much helpful but ( at the same time it can destroy ) destroying our faithful life. Very difficulty. Like, one shloka from «Bhagavatam»:

Honour position of the Lord Shiva

This shloka. Externally when we will consider the meaning of "hitvā bhūta" it’s going to (it means) Lord Shiva, but if it is (if we do that) offense will come to Lord Shiva. But Vedavyasa very cleverly, and the interpreters of «Bhagavatam» — everyone: Madhavacharya, Sridhar Swami, Visvanath Chakravarty, avoided that meaning. And bhutapati, (referred to) other demigods. In this way they gave interpretaion.

Then we must be careful, and not to make any offence to pure vaishnava. And specially, Lord Shiva, is the highest vaishnava, «Srimad Bhagavatam» says,

Same standard honour position, honourable position Lord Shiva in «Srimad Bhagavatam» same standard honour give (is giving).
