Radhanath Swami on Bona fide Enjoyment
Krishna Consciousness in its essence is not a dry philosophy of denying yourself of what everyone else is enjoying. Real essence of Krishna Consciousness is learning how to be a bona fide enjoyer. For the soul, enjoyment is in service, in love for God, in love for every living being as part of God. Therefore, real enjoyment is in being an instrument of God's compassion, in the service of all others. It is dynamic, wonderful and it is available to everyone.

It was this aspect of the philosophy that initially attracted me closer to spiritual life. Without this perspective, "spirituality" often sounds scary.
ReplyDeletethank you for giving inspirational understanding.
ReplyDeleteRadhanath Swami has explained the essence of Krishna Consciousness in a very wonderful way. It is not about renouncing as much as it is about engaging our mind, senses, material possessions in the loving service of God.
ReplyDeleteThis explanation by Radhanath Maharaj should be spread out to the whole world so that any misconception about krishna consciousness can be removed.
ReplyDeleteWonderful definition of enjoyment by living entities. We must understand the depth of this meaning.

ReplyDeleteThank you Radhanath Swami for revealing this concept of bona fade Enjoyment.
ReplyDeleteas a doctor prescribes medicine for healthy future and proscribes some do's and dont's to get cured quickly and to live healthy again. Similary KC is also not only negation of this material so called enjoyment but to get connected to the source of unlimited bliss through prescribed methods coming from Guru, Sadhu and Shastra.
ReplyDeleteThis is a powerful message. Many fear spiritual life as dry. But now we know that spiritual life is the most joyful life.
ReplyDeleteIf we love & serve God the way Radhanath Swami does, then we will never experience any anxiety or sorrow. Rather we will be in spiritual ecstasy all the time.
ReplyDeleteSpiritual life is all about enjoyment - REAL enjoyment. But we need a leader like Radhanath Swami to make us understand how to enjoy in a bonafide way.
