First day of 2015 and it's a great day to reflect and understand how we can improve our spiritual life. It's a good occasion as devotees to reflect and understand what is going on in our life - what is of value and what is of no value. The nature of the material world has it's own ways to remind us of one thing - one thing of value - how are we spending our current moment in KC - that is the only thing of value. If the current moment isn't KC then we have wasted the moment. If the current moment is KC then we have added value to the spiritual bank account which is ultimately going to determine our ultimate destination. This marking of ending of one year and starting of another year is a good thing.
Our New Year starts at Gaura Poornima and for others new year starts at different times. But if a particular event is helping us to become more KC then it is of great value. Our only business is to reflect. People don't even have time to sit down and reflect, we get old and we still feel we are young. We are getting old so fast that we don't even realize. example of two classmates - we forget that we are becoming old, our bodies don't have energy like previously. We are losing our time in this world, our time in this world is decreasing. Each day we are getting closer to death. We should understand with every New Year, one more year has gone by and our time has reduced! When time is reducing, we should understand - that we need to make use of our time. We should at this juncture at 2015, we should reflect whether we used our time wisely in 2014 or not?
CC gives an order that every man shouldn't only get the KC but also give it all around - it is the order of Mahaprabhu that we accept and also distribute to others that is Mahaprabhu's order. \
1. Practicing KC is just the first order of Mahaprabhu and
2. Giving or preaching to others is the second part of the order.
In this year, we should take up this goal that we not only take up KC seriously by not wasting any moment of this year and life - we become serious like that not to waste even a moment without Krishna and Second with the same sincerity we engage in distributing this message to others - taking the inconvenience to spread this message to others that will please the Lord. Without pleasing the Lord we can't progress. When Krsna sees the devotee is struggling to do both his orders - trying to accept KC sincerely and struggling to distribute to others. Then our mission of this human life will be fulfilled. The purpose of this form is to complete our journey and go back home back to Godhead - that is the purpose of our Human Form (this should be our last form before we go back Home) - utilize every moment in serving Krsna's orders (ARK NFK). When we do a project - a 1 year project, the team lead looks at the status how much had we planned, how much have we completed and where are we - similarly, we are on a project a life project and these new year's are our milestones to take inventory to see what is the project goal, what have I accomplished, what do I still need to acomplish. Have I cleaned material desires from my heart? How much attachments do I still have to material things? What can I do to still come closer to Krsna - Serve your GM really well! If we can plan our year in this way then we have really made use of our New Year. All this can be achieved only by chanting our rounds very very sincerely. The HOLY NAME is our only shelter - the basics are the most important. The only thing that can give us solace is the HOLY NAME. It is our only shelter at the most difficult times then why can't we take shelter of Harinaam prabhu during all times when we are able to really focus our mind on the Holy Name. So when we are in trouble and we need to take shelter of the Holy Name, our mind will be so troubled that we won't be able to focus on the Holy Name. How will the strength come?
1. Chant sincerely.
2. Reading SB.
3. Association of Devotees.
4. Serving the pure Vaishnavas.
When we do all these items, then he gets internal strength to make rapid progress to come straight to Krsna. We should understand that we are in EMERGENCY mode, we have to do it now, we have to do it urgently - don't waste any moment, things can happen to us at anytime. SB shelter needs to be taken everyday - KC is emergency situation we need to be alert, we need to be afraid. If we forget this emergency mode, then we are in problem. SP was constantly in emergency mode how to give how to give Krsna to everybody at all times.
