I offer my false ego at your lotus feet so you may kick me so hard that it may fall far and dropped smashed. On this Rama Navami day in Srimad Bhagavatam class by my god brother, HH BV Nrasimha maharaj on SB 1:3:22, I received a big jolt by your purport that no one can change the order of The Lord Who has manifested reality by His internal potency. Not even Ravana could finish his stair case for anyone to go to heaven without proper qualifications. I was thinking preaching does require some calculated risk. How ever such risk must be calculated under full protection of the principles set in by Guru, Sadhu and Shastra so that the order of the Lord cannot be violated.. But seeing failure all around caused by uncalculated risk called deviation or transgracing the order of the Lord, I have become very much alarmed. Many examples started appearing before me like the demons who are envious of the Lord and His devotees, violated His order and got equvivalent smashing. The non devotee but liberated Jnanis, fall ungraceously from Brahmajyoti because violating the order of the Lord by dirty intelligence against taking shelter of the Lord’s lotus feet. Mayavadis are always smashed by their own perverted knowledge of becoming god themselves which itself constitutes violation in the order of the Lord.
