The Golden Age Awaits / Bhakti-Yoga

Dear people of this world,

most of you are stuck in the cycle of eat, sleep, mate, defend. I am very sad to see this. Feeling compassion in my heart, I want to help you transform this animalistic consciousness of temporary life to a higher, divine consciousness.

Don't worry, there is hope. Eating from the streets, loitering here and there, following my tongue and passing stool at common places. All the time the dog would chase the she-dog to have intercourse and the great mass of society is doing the same. By Providence and the mercy of my spiritual master I was relieved from this act of living a degraded life to finding the true soul nature, a pure state of consciousness, free from fear and doubt.

The dog is always afraid to be bitten by the she-dog and kicked by the master. He feels loyalty to both and knows an honest heart. Sometimes the dog whimsically sings poetry and howls for food. What life this dog is living. Many people hold dogs like this because they appreciate the same maturity of consciousness. Some dogs look like their owners and vice versa. This dog life of eating, sleeping, mating and defending sounds alright, but it is not befitting a human being who has the capacity to inquire about the Absolute Truth.

“Life’s desires should never be directed toward sense gratification. One should desire only a healthy life, or self-preservation, since a human being is meant for inquiry about the Absolute Truth. Nothing else should be the goal of one’s works.”

(Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.2.10)
