Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur, Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja and Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada all took advantage of establishments.
They simply intelligently used them for the advantages they offered to spread Krishna consciousness , in like a needle out like a plough, diplomatic fluttering when the need arises but no ultimate compromise.
The big, big industrial world and its communication systems and open society do have their advantages . Although much degradation of mankinds inner spirit is taking place on many different levels , and tremendous suffering is being inflicted, something else and unseen by the demoniac is happening .
A loud tongue gives away the intentions , but acting quietly and in covert ways leaves the enemy guessing . Ultimately, Krishna consciousness and its philosophical and scientific and spiritual outlook is a million miles away from the current accepted status quo including governance affairs.
But for the time being, advantages are plenty , and they are being utilised.
Srila Prabhupada was walking in a park enjoying the facilities and he quipped to his disciples, ” just see they are working hard and we are coming to take advantage, like a snake does not build a hole , but simply disposes of the rabbit and establishes himself. “
