Fulfilling Our Five Purposes Summation

Circles of Commitment Crowd, worship Congregation, fellowship Committed, discipleship Core, serving Commissioned, mission

Simplify Your Life Five questions You’re too busy Answering these questions will dramatically simplify your life What matters & what doesn’t Lotus flower

1. What will be the Center of my Life? Think about most? Can you lose it? Does core change? Will it hold in the storm?

Gita 2/59 The embodied soul may be restricted from sense enjoyment, though the taste for sense objects remains. But ceasing such engagements by experiencing a higher taste, he is fixed in consciousness.

Mirabai

Center Will Hold Things to be used not loved Tiny starts but grows Moment by moment

“Some of your hurts you have cured,/ And the sharpest you still have survived, / But what torments of grief you endured / From evils which never arrived!” Ralph Waldo Emerson

Worry or Worship Stewing without doing Pray or panic Slice vs filling Moment by moment

2. What will be my Community? Hates loneliness Not just believers but belongers

Family Leaf Detached Class 101 Spectator or Participator?

3. What Will be the Character of my Life? Reading Gita is reading Krishna’s mind Tree by a river of water Food & fertilizer Choices strung out over life Best time to start is now.

Gita 18/70 I declare that he who studies this sacred conversation worships Me by his intelligence. And one who listens with faith & without envy becomes free from sinful reactions.

Prabhupada said, “You are distributing books, but are you reading them.” I said, “Yes, Prabhupada, every day we are having several classes, Bhagavad Gita, Nectar of Devotion, Srimad Bhagavatam.” A big smile came over his face, and he said, “Oh, thank you very much.” I had pleased him & I was washed with an incredible feeling of satisfaction.” Uttama Sloka, Memories

Trials, temptations, trespasses Fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control.

4. What will be the Contribution of my Life? Shaped for Significance Spiritual gifts, your Heart, your Abilities, your Personality and your Experiences Getting or Giving

Service Give in modes of ignorance, passion, or goodness “This name means you are a servant of the devotees. The more you think of yourself as a servant, the more you will advance in spiritual life. The more you think of yourself as a master, the faster you will go to hell.”

Stairs

5. What will be the Communication of my Life? Does your life echo the Gita? Consistency of actions repetition of words. Act under stress? Disappointment?

Self Promotion or Krishna Promotion David Hume: one teaches by what one is. Example better than precept. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

“Prabhupada always said that it is the desire of every living entity to have peace & be satisfied. That’s our nature. Whenever I was in Prabhupada’s presence, I always felt that to the ultimate. He wasn’t just a friend to me. He was a friend to everyone.” Shymasundar, Memories

Where do we start? Madhai asked forgiveness

Krishna has the power to change anybody no matter what background, what hurt, what habit, what hang-up. I know that there are people sitting here right now who need to allow those changes. I pray that they’ll have that courage to do it presently.

Krishna, I want You to be the center of my life. I want You to be not on the peripheral. I want You to be the center of the pie. Prabhupada, I want You to be the role model of my life. I don’t want to be a spiritual baby any more. I want to grow up. I want to be a mature devotee.

Lord Krishna, I want to make a contribution with my life. Help me to discover my shape, what You’ve made me to be and fulfill the purpose You’ve created me for. And may my life message, the communication of my life be that of love and compassion.
