21
NEW YORK, MAY 30, 1966
Sharing some points :- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1. Nothing is bad Nothing is good if
it is not purposeful. That is the whole purpose of teaching Bhagavad-gt. Nothing is
good; nothing is bad. Everything is good, everything is bad, in this material world,
but we have to see. Just like the common phrase goes, The end justifies the
means"
2. Not that one becomes God by doing something. Nowadays it has been practiced
to say that I have meditated so many years, I have undergone so much penance.
Then I have become now God. Oh, God is not manufactured in that way. God
cannot be manufactured.
3. Sdhu, one who is called sdhu Sdhu means titikava. Titikava means very
tolerant, very tolerant, very much tolerant. "Titikava krunik". At the same time
very kind-hearted.
4. But the devotee or the man who is established in relationship with God, his
expenditure will be different. His expenditure will be not for sense gratification. For
advancement of God consciousness. That is the ideal man. There is no harm. If you
work, very, very much attached to your business or anyone, that doesnt matter.
5. this material life is a great ocean, and this human body is a good boat. This
human body is a good boat for crossing this ocean. And the spiritual master is a
good captain.
