Discipline and association, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and of God or Krishna I practice Krishna consciousness since 1984, the spiritual life is very simple, one has a spiritual master representative of God, follow his instructions and the result of this is that one lives with him and God or Krishna is very satisfied with that person and reveals everything necessary to advance in the spiritual life, Srila Prabhupada always said that the spiritual life is easy for people with a simple heart and it is very difficult for the twisted ones , the example that always put to illustrate the simple heart is that of Jesus Christ, the envious people of his time were against his preaching and they asked him if you are the son of God, and he answered yes, and they told him that if you say that, we’re going to kill you, and he told you to do whatever you want but I can not change the philosophy, Srila Prabhupada always said that a person with a simple heart is one who always goes With the truth in front.
Disciple means one who practices a discipline, in Krishna consciousness we follow 4 regulative principles, we have abandoned illicit sexual life, gambling, drugs and the consumption of meat, fish and eggs and we sing every day the Hare Maha-Mantra Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare (the H is read as J de jota) 16 rounds, this is every day 27,648 names of God, with practice this takes you one hour and a half to two hours. Srila Prabhupada always said that he who obeys these principles I personally will take him to the spiritual world, and the other point is the association, the desires and aspirations of a person are developed according to the company that maintains, must be associated with serious devotees and sincere in the spiritual life, and that you feel that they appreciate you.
