TWO SPIRITUAL MASTERS
It Can’t Be Destroyed From the Outside
Sri Caitanya ’s movement can’t be destroyed or disturbed from the outside, it can only be destroyed from within: from our own false ego and from our own bad relationships. Therefore, we should be very careful. When we follow in the footsteps of our spiritual masters, we should stop causing disturbances amongst ourselves. Do what you have to do, do what your guru has asked you to do, and try to be a good example to others. As we take these examples to heart and meditate on how Srila Prabhupada, Srila BR Sridhara Maharaja and Srila BP Puri Maharaja continued despite their difficulties and never gave up their loving, humble attitude, we can understand why they are empowered by Krsna. Daily we pray: "O my Lord, let me please become an instrument of Your divine love." In this way, we pray that when we face difficulties, we will be able to remember Sri Krsna. We pray that we will have enthusiasm to continue on this path to the highest goal, krsna-prema, regardless of the conditions.
