Okay, Hare Krishna Day devotees, Today we'll continue with the reading from Sri Chaitanya Shikshamrata Continuation Qualification to see Krishna as long as the consciousness rushes towards that supreme absolute truth due to the false ego of the material knowledge and science, that truth is easily stays far away. When the fortunate person painfully calling out to Krishna in a consciousness of being humbler than a blade of grass experiences the absolute truth and enjoy immense happiness when out of good fortune faith arises, then the person does not stay bewildered in material pride and does not become an offender to the Holy Name, caste, creed, material education, beauty, strength, power of material science and so on. High position, wealth, kingdom, etc. Do not work in the practice of Ka consciousness. Therefore the truth of Ka is naturally very far away from such people proud of their caste. If all these reasons are considered the reason for present day contempt for Krishna Tattva will be easily seen. In the RMAD Bhagavatam it is mentioned 5.5.11 the intelligence of cruel minded persons are blinded by false pride based on great wealth, opulence, prestigious family connections, education, renunciation, personal beauty, physical strength and successful performance of Vedic rituals. Being intoxicated with this false pride, such cruel persons blaspheme the supreme personality of Godhead and his devotees. Speaking about Bhakti not dependent on any material designations.
