IS CORONA VIRUS A CURSE OR BLESSING? PART-3

All glories to Sri Sri Guru & Gauranga.
sarva-dharmān parityajya
mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja
ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo

mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ        (Bg. 18.66)

“Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear.”
Gaudiya Gostipati Sri Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami Thakur Prabhupad told that– “the whole world is gradually going more and more away from the Absolute Truth. They have gone so far away from the Absolute that at present they become very fearful to hear about that Absolute Truth.”
Beyond that, in our own sampradaya this Corona Virus is spreading at a rapid and alarming rate.  While the incremental growth of this virus can eat up the vitality of our sampradaya, genuine followers of Srila Prabhupada Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami Thakur are exempt. He used to repeat again, “BHAKTIVINOD-DHARA CAN NEVER BE EXTINCT.”
Dirty demons can continue with their efforts to suppress all Gaudiya devotees including Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur and Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami Thakur Prabhupad and others. The demons can intend the total destruction of the Gaudiya mission and its faithful adherents. What concern is this to us? Srila Baladev Ji Maharaj is there to protect us all the time.
We also have some traitors in our own sampradaya trying to contaminate others with another kind of virus. Consistently and secretly they are on a joint venture with other demons trying to rapidly spread their disease.
Once our money power, man power, education power and scientific power are exhausted and we ultimately and humbly submit, we will experience some indication of the Absolute. This cannot happen before that because we are blinded by our false egos.
The Corona Virus is succeeding at giving us the direct experience that life is very unstable. No amount of security can stand in the way of our death.
What are the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Peace Organization (WPO) doing now?” Dirty politics are rampant everywhere. This can be seen in the fields of education as well as in sports. It has even spread into the arena of spiritual paths, which is strictly prohibited. Who does not understand that Mafioso politics have no place in true religion? The tarnished hands of such perpetrators should be crushed. If we are going to trust a cat to take care of a pot full of milk then what can we expect? When we have no trace of honesty our name will automatically end up on a black.
Honesty can no longer be found in any field. As per the previously quoted verse from the Bhagavad Gita:
“sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja…”
This means to avoid and ignore all or any kind of relative Dharmas like Deha Dharma (body related Dharma), Mano Dharma (mental Dharma), Samaj Dharma (social Dharma), Manav Dharma (Humanity Dharma) or all other kinds of Dharma which are followed by the common people. We should only follow Atma Dharma – Bhagavat Dharma – Sanatana Dharma – Vaishnava Dharma. This prescription is common for all the countless Jivatmas. If we are all really successful with this Bhagvata Dharma then automatically our food habits, our moral conduct, our absolute spiritual response, etc. can change our whole life irrespective of our caste and creed or language or any other such designation. This is how we actually protect our true self, our Atma.
And when we are thus protected, what harm can the Corona Virus do to us? Please try to grasp the root cause of the Corona Virus. Don’t just focus on the solution to the Corona Virus. You can automatically find the solution to any problem in this material world. Real peace and satisfaction can touch your heart and give you a direct feeling of transcendental bliss. Please try to live with the Absolute; please try to live for the Absolute. Then and only then can you realize the real import of this unstable life.
Common people can never stand on the absolute neutral platform to understand the instability of life or any faith they have related to any dharma that they believe or follow. At least they should understand the meaning of “Sanatana” from this word “Sanatana Dharma.” If they did then all kinds of fighting and partiality would come to an end. They would realize that nothing can protect them from imminent danger that isn’t an eternal Dharma.
Dhatu ‘Dhri’ (Root) + Maan protaya (Suffix) combine to give the word “Dharma.” “Dhri” means dharan (to take shelter). This is referring to the shelter which we can easily use to cross over the endless miseries of this material ocean. This is known as Atma Dharma or Bhagvata Dharma or Vaishnava Dharma or Sanatana Dharma. Undoubtedly it is proven that, without exception, only those genuine followers of Atma Dharma or Sanatana Dharma can get full protection and get Divine help.
“Sanatana” means “evergreen” and “ever existing.” So, Sanatana Dharma is not created by anybody. It is eternally present Dharma. But all other countless relative Dharmas are created for common people so that they can follow any dharma according to their taste and previous sanskara. You can find historical evidence about these so-called relative Dharmas.
Please try to understand the gravity of Bhakti. It is the only way to Godhead. Somebody can misunderstand Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami Thakur Prabhupada for saying, “What does it concern you? Let the whole world suffer. You just hear Hari-Katha and do Hari-Kirtan.” But to understand the inner meaning (bhava), we must wait to see a situation where no one can protect another from imminent danger. At least try hard to comprehend your immortality by hearing Hari-Katha. Then what could go wrong? Hari-Katha is the topmost medicine to stop your reoccurring birth and death.
Thanks a lot!
Truly yours in the service of Guru-Gauranga and GO-MATA.
