So I found another gem of wisdom from Bhaktivedanta.

Dictatorship is good if the dictator is highly qualified spiritually.
Yes those ideals of the good king like the Lord of the Rings are amazing and maybe it existed 10000 years ago. If we want to brainwash ourselves that the myths are correct.
However how can one even mention the benefits of a dictatorship in this age of Kali?
I have no doubt that ACB was much kinder, qualified than the naked emperors he left behind.
However he had very old fashioned ideas that do not go well with the current society. Especially the west.
It has been proven that none of the Abrahamic religions nor Krishna consc. were able to reform this society completely.
They have both elevated and destroyed many at the same time.
My consclusion is that bhakti yoga worked possibly well for their society in India.
Same way that those who are born and raised in the Shia muslim culture , see all the weirdness in that culture as normal.
Even though we are “spirit souls”, the cultures in which we have grown up counts very much.
We can see in SoI that many have been compromised. It is because if the guru is corrupt, you will become corrupt by association.
The full faith in guru means that he can make you believe that a corrupt action is fine as long as it is done in service to guru and god.
ACB said that those who do not engage in the process are killer of the soul.
How is one not a killer of the soul when they degrade themselves as the slave of 2 demanding germaphobes?
Pretty fascinating stuff. This realm of duality and semi free has been quite an interesting experiment.
It has also proven to be quite a disaster.
Funny how each soul finds their happiness and comfort in different things.
It is pretty amazing that one can even spiritualize masochism, abuse, mental illness, narcisism. And this is how the followers survive.
butler has taken thousands hostage of his faulty mind and personality.
What blows my mind is how we accept it so easily as I did myself?
Funny how they demonize the mind all the time. Yet it is only the mind that can deconstruct such insanity.
No wonder they want you to be busy 24/7.
Yes the goal really is to try and help new souls who think of entering iskcon and soi. Let them know the full truth and decide for themselves.
The days of lies and secrecy are over.
