Mini Gods or bunch of conditioned souls trying to control their minds?

[Paramananda das]

 

dear devotees

Please accept my humble obaisences

Jaya Sri Guru and Gauranga, Gandarvika Giridhari

Jaya Srila Prabhupada

In the Bible it is stated:

Psalm  82:6 "I said, 'You are "gods"; you are all sons of the Most High.' Srila Prabhupada also in some purport calls the jivas for minigods, I could not find it when I looked ,maybe someone else can find it. Another place in the Bible it is stated: John 10:35 If he called them 'gods,' to whom the word of God came--and the Scripture cannot be broken-- Ezekiel 28:2 "Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "'In the pride of your heart you say, "I am a god; I sit on the throne of a god in the heart of the seas." But you are a man and not a god, though you think you are as wise as a god. Krsna has stated: Chapter 15. The Yoga of the Supreme Person TEXT 7 mamaivamso jiva-loke jiva-bhutah sanatanah manah-sasthanindriyani prakrti-sthani karsati SYNONYMS mama--My; eva--certainly; amsah--fragmental particles; jiva-loke--world of conditional life; jiva-bhutah--the conditioned  living entity; sanatanah--eternal; manah--mind; sasthani--six; indriyani--senses; prakrti--material nature; sthani--situated; karsati--struggling hard. TRANSLATION The living entities in this  conditioned world are My eternal, fragmental parts. Due to conditioned life,  they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind. None of us are liberated souls so why pretend to be liberated like many of our ISKCON Gurus do?  Being fallible we make mistakes all of us: Chapter 15, Verse 15. I am seated in everyone's heart, and  from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness. By all the Vedas I am to  be known; indeed I am the compiler of Vedanta, and I am the knower of the  Vedas. Chapter 15, Verse 16. There are two classes of beings, the  fallible and the infallible. In the material world every entity is fallible, and  in the spiritual world every entity is called infallible. Chapter 15, Verse 17. Besides these two, there is the  greatest living personality, the Lord Himself, who has entered into these worlds  and is maintaining them. Chapter 15, Verse 18. Because I am transcendental, beyond  both the fallible and the infallible, and because I am the greatest, I am  celebrated both in the world and in the Vedas as that Supreme Person. So forget about ISCKON's infallible Gurus ,none of them are, none of us are, is this really such a shock? I want to ask all ISKCON Gurus to stop pretending to be infallible Gods.....and make disciples think they are your humble servant Paramananda das
