No danger of a downfall for those who take prasada

Posted on July 28, 2012  
Filed under BVKS Sanga

Whereas an impersonalist tries to avoid good eatables, a devotee knows that
Krsna is the supreme enjoyer and that He eats all that is offered to Him in
devotion. So, after offering good eatables to the Lord, the devotee takes
the remnants, called prasadam. Thus everything becomes spiritualized, and
there is no danger of a downfall. The devotee takes prasadam in Krsna
consciousness, whereas the nondevotee rejects it as material. The
impersonalist, therefore, cannot enjoy life, due to his artificial
renunciation; and for this reason, a slight agitation of the mind pulls him
down again into the pool of material existence.
