The monks on the island of Iona , off the Scottish coast, decided to come ashore , feeling compassion for those souls hopelessly entangled in the material energies and who were taking their temporarily situated situations in their lives as their only lot ..In a similar way , when the great waves of Bhakti crash into the shore of material civilizations , the Bhakti element can appear to break up within the multiple nooks and crannies of social societies . It may appear initially that karma and jnana have become prominent, and the original strength of the Bhakti wave has dissipated. However , the great force of the trancendental tide of Bhakti originates from the constant and increasing currents of the spiritual realms and once the waves of Bhakti have broken though the initial coverings of the city of the body the inevitable occurs . Its just a question of time , some conditioned structures last longer than others, but the onslaught has begun and is unstoppable . There are no limits to the tides of the Bhakti , and Bhakti has the whole of eternity on its side .
Initially , the first waves cause both certainty and uncertainty along with confusion , some waves easily break into structures , but then defence mechanisms are constructed in an attempt to stave of the inevitable , but whats done is done , the energetic source has unfathomable strength and attraction . The monks on the Island of Iona , and the monk in Vrndavana village Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada have let loose the waves of Bhakti into the landlocked and supposed safe illusions of the materialist and speculative . The waters are fast building and permeating everywhere, each of the “victims” have their defenses of karma and jnana being broken down by the consistent waves , and they are being , sometimes unbeknown to them , swallowed up by a spontaneous Bhakti of love . They are and will drop their all their weapons of defence made of karma and jnana and will surrender to their trancendental fate .
