Revenge attitude

Hare Krishna All,

PAMHO,

AGtSP!

During  few occasions I was humiliated and insulted by relatives who themselves are devotees. I am behaving still in respectfull manner with them. I am burning from inside and my anger will not stop. I know importance of tolerance but still cant forget and forgive them.those bitter words which still hurts me. All devotees are not same. There are both good and bad people. They are rich and get away with their harsh words.

  • word -devotee- is to easily used nowadays, therefore dont be confused.

    have a look  for a moment, what is devotion for god :

    SB 11.14.22Neither religious activities endowed with honesty and mercy nor knowledge obtained with great penance can completely purify one’s consciousness if they are bereft of loving service to Me.
    SB 11.14.23If one’s hairs do not stand on end, how can the heart melt? And if the heart does not melt, how can tears of love flow from the eyes? If one does not cry in spiritual happiness, how can one render loving service to the Lord? And without such service, how can the consciousness be purified?
    SB 11.14.24A devotee whose speech is sometimes choked up, whose heart melts, who cries continually and sometimes laughs, who feels ashamed and cries out loudly and then dances — a devotee thus fixed in loving service to Me purifies the entire universe.
    • only person who are devotee himself can recognise another devotee,

      and that recognition is never based on external signs like outside look, occupation or status in society.

      from all humans some of them beleive in god,

      from those who beleive in god some of them have firm faith,

      from those who have firm faith in god only some of them are devotees.

    Hare Krsna Prabhuji,

    PAMHO.

    I can understand your angst and appreciate that you are tolerating or atleast trying to tolerate. This itself is pleasing to Krsna. We all learn at some stage in our journey of KRsna Consciousness that not all devotees are ideal or their behaviour exemplary. In your case, they are family members making it more difficult for you.

    Having said all that, what is to be done now? What is the way in which to get over all the negative thoughts in the mind? What I had heard in one lecture is that if two devotees are having a problem, then they should dance together in kirtan at the time of arati. This is one very sure shot way of removing all negative feelings. Another is reading - 2.14 of Gita - Matra sparshastu kaunteya..... I read it with purports whenever I am very sad or very happy.

    Another is to keep your focus at all times. Why are you in Krsna Consciousness - to go back to godhead, to attain love of KRsna or to improve others in their path to KC? Keep your focus at all times and learn to ignore these disturbances. You will progress faster.

    Haribol,

    Your servant,

    Rashmi
