Q160. What is the mentality of those who follow the Bhagavad-Gita?

The devotees of Lord Krishna have the following mentality: *

Broad minded – They never say or think others will go to hell simply for being different

*

Full faith in Krishna – They know that God is in full control and thus don’t have any problems with others

*

God is real – God is visible and known

*

Universal brotherhood - Consider all living beings as brothers and sisters. All living beings are the children of the one God and thus brothers and sisters

*

Animals – They are our brothers and sisters too. Thus, no meat eating (vegetarianism)

*

Who are we – We are not this body but the soul

*

Eternality – We are eternal and thus this is not the only life

*

Purpose of religion – A sincere devotee of Krishna only wants to eternally serve Krishna and has no desire for sense gratification. Thus, no lust, no intoxications, no killing, and no speculation

*

Karma – People suffer or enjoy based on their past actions. Nothing happens by chance. As you sow, so shall you reap

People with the above mentality make the World a safer and peaceful place to live. Also, at the end of this life, these souls will go back to the spiritual manifestation and live eternally in the same beautiful body with God. Persons with the above mentality are called self-realized. “Being freed from attachments, fear, anger, and fully situated in thought of Me, many have become purified by penance and knowledge of Me. They all attained pure love for Me. (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 4.10)

The eternal Bhagavad-Gita has already delivered, trillions of people back to the spiritual manifestation, where people live in the same beautiful body eternally with no misery, and you can be next.
