My Spiritual Master Speaks


I am now 65 years old and legally considered to be a senior citizen by the US government. Of course I am referring to the body, not the actual self who is residing within the city of nine gates known as the material body. One of the many things that amazes about the sublime process of Krishna consciousness is that it enables me to completely detach myself from the bodily conception of who I am. Even though I am sitting inside the body of a 65 year old senior citizen I still feel myself to be that 23 year old youth who joined the Hare Krishna movement in the spring of 1971. In fact I feel even more youthful now than I did then because in the last 41 years I have discarded so much psychological garbage that was unnecessarily weighing me down. So if I am to consider whether I am a youth or a senior citizen, the conclusion is that I am an eternal youth inhabitant of the spiritual world presently residing within the body of a senior citizen within this material world.
