SOUL ON FIRE | ANOTHER YEAR OF FAILURE AHEAD🎓
Overhaul your conception of success before you begin another year of defeat
Who would like a standing ovation at the end of their life?
If you’re like most people, you went to a school and recieved an education. Education is meant to prepare us for success but here’s the thing - modern education defines success as a set of mundane rites and experiences:
1. Get a good job
2. Work hard
3. Enjoy material activities with people who like the same things
4. After a good many hookups settle down with someone who looks and feels good
5. Then you have some babies, and make sure they are educated well enough to duplicate what you did.
Is this all there is?
The sages have their faces in thier palms.
They were educated in transcendental knowledge. Your life right now is just a result of your education.
If you're succeeding or failing from the above paradigm of success you've been dooped by modern education.
What's the alternative? What do those sages with their faces in their palms know that we don't?
The great poet and magistrate Bhaktivinoda Thakur writes
“Giving up all sinful activities, carry on your worldly duties only in relation to Lord Krsna. The showing of compassion to other souls by loudly chanting the holy name of Krsna is the essence of all forms of religion.”
Bhaktivinode
Bhaktivinoda Thakur invites us to simplify our life by giving up un wholesome things and simply dedicate whatever we're already doing to Krsna. He says we can embody the highest welfare mindset by sharing the spiritual name of Krsna with others.
Chant the Maha Mantra and stay high forever.
Yours in service to your spiritual growth,
