The Sanskrit words in this connection are bhinna-dṛk and pṛthag-bhāvaḥ

The worship of Deities in the temple by a separatist, with a motive for material enjoyment, fame and opulence, is devotion in the mode of passion.

The word “separatist” must be understood carefully. The Sanskrit words in this connection are bhinna-dṛk and pṛthag-bhāvaḥ. A separatist is one who sees his interest as separate from that of the Supreme Lord. Mixed devotees, or devotees in the modes of passion and ignorance, think that the interest of the Supreme Lord is supplying the orders of the devotee; the interest of such devotees is to draw from the Lord as much as possible for their sense gratification. This is the separatist mentality. Actually, pure devotion is explained in the previous chapter: the mind of the Supreme Lord and the mind of the devotee should be dovetailed. A devotee should not wish anything but to execute the desire of the Supreme. That is oneness. When the devotee has an interest or will different from the interest of the Supreme Lord, his mentality is that of a separatist. When the so-called devotee desires material enjoyment, without reference to the interest of the Supreme Lord, or he wants to become famous or opulent by utilizing the mercy or grace of the Supreme Lord, he is in the mode of passion.

Māyāvādīs, however, interpret this word “separatist” in a different way. They say that while worshiping the Lord, one should think himself one with the Supreme Lord. This is another adulterated form of devotion within the modes of material nature. The conception that the living entity is one with the Supreme is in the mode of ignorance. Oneness is actually based on oneness of interest. A pure devotee has no interest but to act on behalf of the Supreme Lord. When one has even a tinge of personal interest, his devotion is mixed with the three modes of material nature.

  1. Pamho agtacbsp, BHAGAVAN KA ICCHA OR KARISYE VACANAM TAVA to do as KRSNA DESIRE is for pure devotees who are free from duality of this relative world because until one is still separate from KRSNA through the attraction for this godless civilization, one can’t do as SSGG orders us to do because of the material contamination which got nothing to do with the bhakti yoga ,all these shameless donkey in the picture are moving in a platform of misunderstanding therefore whatever they do get misunderstood by the general crowd and although this is the age of misunderstanding they keeping going through the hypocrisy in f-iskcon by making quarrels on the FINAL ORDER OF SRILA PRABHUPADA, they lost all the points by keeping going against the DIVINE INSTRUCTIONS OF SSGG because all the spiritual power is KARISYE VACANAM TAVA by doing as SSGG ORDER us.agtacbsp ys haribol

    This is applicable to anyone anywhere even within the confines of those posing as Prabhupadanugas.
    I suppose with this photo added that this is directed at the opposing party.
    Once one enters the confines of this material world they are indeed separatists. New readers cannot grasp the full significance of this posting unless they search out, read and study the full Gita first.
    Then the Srimad Bhagavatam will be easier to grasp.
    We have many varied separatists in our midst. Let the author of this bonafide posting find similar references of this this topic from the Gita. Without a foundation of real knowledge, a future understanding of this material reality becomes very very difficult. After a while the new students will simply go away.

  3. Pamho agtacbsp,almost all the senior disciples of HDG ACBSP betrayed HIM and they write books also how SP saved them but they are working against HIS INSTRUCTIONS like if is normal therefore we don’t think they got saved but cursed,the new generation don’t know and can’t see their behaviour is in contrast with the mission of SSGG but they trust in them as senior disciples of HDG ACBSP by taking advantage of their fake position as guru but SRILA PRABHUPADA DIDN’T APPOINT ANY GURU . anyway they will understand how things really are when they get pataloka SRI YAMARAJ WILL EXPLAIN THEM HOW FOOLS THEY BEEN AMEN AGTACBSP YS HARIBOL

    That war is over. It is useless to go on and on about it. That keeps us out of the real fight to help Srila Prabhupada save souls. Srila Prabhupada said that he will not go back to Godhead until all of his disciples are liberated. He is still in that fight and he pays no attention to these losers. That is the real fight. So, do not be distracted by these articles that try to keep a war going that the bad guys have lost. Mayas strategic distraction.

    Now let us read about successes on the field of battle with Maya like daily prasadam distribution, mobile daily Hari Nam as well as daily classes given by Srila Prabhupada. It has been said in the CC somewhere that more pastimes of Lord Caitanya will be revealed in the future. That also applies to more of Srila Prabhupadas pastimes being revealed in the future. Srila Prabhupada is still very active.

    “Srila Prabhupada is our leader the holy names are our main weapon, and the original Bhagavad Gita As It Is is our war plan”
