Is advising the violating persons good for the devotees?
Is advising the violating persons good for the devotees?
To advise others, there should be two requirements:
(i) The person who
advise should be a COMMANDING and popular figure or a VIP or a powerful person.
(ii) The person who
advise should be a repectable and trustworthy and influential relative or
friend.
(iii) The person who
advise should be the close and unavoidable person.
In both the cases, the
people should have some FAITH and CRAZE with the advising person.
Otherwise, we can not
advise others.
See when an ordinary
person advise another person on road, it may not have value.
Even for the welfare
schemes of the governments, they use VIPs like cinema stars for promoting the
schemes.
A person will not hear
if his neighbor tells something. The
same person will do when his favourite cinema star tells the same.
So, influencing command
is necessary for advising others.
However, we can
indicate the mistake of anyone only once if he is known to us.
If he is someone whom
we do not know, we need not advise because he may not hear.
We should advise only
to those who are interested in hearing.
If we advise someone
who is not at all interested in hearing getting advised, there will be no use
in such advices.
Krishna too wants us to
advise. But, how?
He advices us in
Bhagavad Gita (18-68,69) to preach Bhagavad Gita ONLY TO THOSE WHO LIKES TO
HEAR AND ONLY TO THOSE WHO ARE NOT ENVIOUS AT KRISHNA.
He also says that such
a devotee wil be His dearest devotee.
The point is that we
should advise only to those who likes to hear.
How can we determine
whether he will hear or not?
He may be known to us; or our relative; or, our student; or, our friend;
If the abve four is not
there, We should be powerful to advise.
And, if the person
falls in any one of the above categories, we should advise just only once and
then leave.
If he is unknown to us,
we may tell any influential person to advise him.
Or, we may leave the
spot.
The lord has blessed us
with the knowledge and command to advise others. In such cases, we should
advise once in a friendly manner and leave the spot.
But, we should never
influence or compel a person to hear our advice.
He will hear our advice
only if he has the karma os getting corrected by a good adviser.
See, I have hundreds of
messages from the devotees who tell that their whole life has changed because
of our Preaching services.
How was it possible?
Because (i) Sincere
following of the purity level by the preacher (ii) Krishna and (iii) the
preacher’s Guru Parampara – all together give such strength and command to
cause impact in the minds of others.
That is why, this
service has only one motto of counselling, ie, advising others since the year
2011 and still our advices are respected by the followers.
Can an ordinary man
change the drinkers as good devotees?
Acharyas including
Srila Prabhupada did.
So, you can genty
advice only once to anyone you know well and have good rapport.
Do not pressurize him
and do not expect him to hear your advice.
And, ensure that you are not doing that mistake before advising others.
