The Art of Spiritual Investments | HG Vaiśeṣika Dāsa | GEV | Global Youth Retreat | 24 Dec 2024

Sound Bhakti

If we look at our lifetime and our lifespan as a time to invest, if you stay in the market, no matter what you may be - 'sukhe duḥkhe bhulo nā'ko,' you may be happy or distressed. You may think, 'Well, I'm no good. I don't have a taste.' It doesn't matter. You stay in the market. It's not timing the market; it's how much time you spend in the market, and if you just stay the course, it's already chalked out. Do your due diligence and figure out that this is the only market that really counts. The other markets, there's nothing there at the end. If you go to withdraw your money—and we used to do this play back in the old days—where somebody was working hard their whole life, and then at the end, when they went to take all their money out of the bank, they had the wrong bank account. There was nothing in it, but this is the real bank account. So, all of you, the painstaking way in which you flew across oceans and time zones, had to go through security about 50 times to get here, poked and prodded and had to decide what to bring with you. It's an investment, and one of the investments that Caitanya Mahāprabhu especially recommends out of 64 different mutual funds or limbs of bhakti that you can invest in. He said there are five main ones. If you get in these, he said, then you're going to be spiritually wealthy, and of the five, one of them is coming and staying in the Holy Dhāma. So, congratulations to our spiritual investors who have joined here today. And this replica of Vṛndāvana is non different from Vṛndāvana, and that Vṛndāvana is marked by the mood of service and surrender to Kṛṣṇa, which is the only source of happiness for any soul.
