Dear friend,
I saw this message almoat the first thing this morning and it had such a sobering effect.
Indeed we have our priorities all mixed up. But no one can sleep for too long. One day or the otheer everybody will wake up.
Regards, ramakrishnan

ISN"T IT STRANGE:
------------ -----

Isn't it strange how Rs 200
seems like such a large
amount when you donate it to temple,
but such a small amount
when you go shopping?

Isn't it strange how 2 hours
seem so long when
you're at the temple,
and how short they seem when you're
watching a movie?

Isn't it strange that you can't
find a word to say when
you're praying,
but you have no trouble
thinking what to talk about
with a friend?

Isn't it strange how difficult
and boring it is to read
one chapter of the Bhagavad-gita,
but how easy it is to
read 100 pages of a popular novel?

Isn't it strange how everyone
wants front-row-tickets
to concerts or games,
but they do whatever
is possible to sit at the last
row or at the back

of the temple room?

Isn't it strange how we need to
know about an event for
temple 2-3 weeks before the day
so we can include it in our agenda,
but we can adjust it for other events
in the last minute?

Isn't it strange how difficult it
is to learn a fact about
Lord Krsna to share it with others,
but how easy it is to learn,
understand, extend and repeat gossip?

Isn't it strange how we
believe everything
that magazines and newspapers
say, but we question the words in the
Bhagavatam and other scriptures?

Isn't it strange how everyone
wants a place in the Vaikunta,
but they don't want to believe,
do, or say anything to get there?
