Harmony
Harmony is a compilation of excerpts from the discources by our beloved Gurudeva, Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja. His purpose was to give us tools and keys to create an ideal society in which everyone is happy, as well as to inspire in us a longing to achive the ultimate goal of our lives.
The theme of these excerpts is basically centered around the following verses:
"The symptoms of one who chants the Hare Krsna maha-mantra are as follows. He is actually very exalted, but he thinks himself lower than the straw in the street. His tolerance is like that a tree, which does not protest when it is cut down and does not ask anyone for water when it is drying up. The tree gives its own wealth of fruits, flowers, and so on to anyone who asks. It gives shelter to others, even while tolerating scorching heat and torrents of rain itself. A Vaisnava is the most exalted of all, but he does not think that he is better than others. On the contrary, he gives all respect to others, knowing that Krsna resides in the hearts of all." Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Antya-lila (20.21-25)
El tema de estos extractos se centra básicamente en los siguientes versículos:
"Los síntomas de quien canta el maha-mantra Hare Krishna son como sigue. Es en realidad muy exaltado, pero se cree más bajo que la paja en la calle. Su tolerancia es como un árbol, que no protesta cuando se corta y no le pide agua a nadie cuando se está secando. El árbol da su propia riqueza de frutas, flores, y así sucesivamente a cualquiera que la pida. Da refugio a otros, incluso mientras que tolerar el calor abrasador y torrentes de lluvia sobre sí mismo. Un Vaisnava es el más elevado de todos, pero no le parece que es mejor que otros. Por el contrario, le da a todos el respeto a los demás, sabiendo que Krsna reside en los corazones de todos." Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Antya-lila (20,21-25)
