Sacinandana SwamiHostMm, throughout this festival, I thought I would, uh, uh, address the, the crazy brother in the cellar.
Um, this is an expression from psychology, that some of us have our questions, our problems, but we want to hide them from the, um, uh, from the devotees, from everyone else.
Almost like, you know when you have a crazy brother, you put him in the cellar.
Uh, but then he comes out at the most inopportune moment and, uh, [laughs] in the midst of the venue.
Sit there and eat your cookies and drink your tea with your exalted guests, and bang, everyone knows, ooh, he has a crazy brother.
Jayatam, maybe I can communicate with you and is a diagram there? It is there.
Uh, I wanted to a little bit explain, uh, that, uh, m- many times in our spiritual life we are not really like Prahlada Maharaj.
Uh, we are a little bit more like Indra who's known in our scriptures to again and again switch off his bhakti and he's sometimes very proud.
He thought, "Well, am I not better than a rock?" Uh, you know, and he thought to punish Krishna.
He believes in Krishna, he is worshiping Krishna, but from time to time his conditioned side comes over him and that's because he's so attached to the world.
Mm, and that diagram you see on the left side, uh, the beginner devotee, the mixed devotee, who has still a l- lot of the world in his mind.
