Musician, writer, reader, thinker, worshiper, leaning on the Gospel, depending on Grace, learning obedience, failing, falling, getting back up. Married to Tina, father to Gage, covenant member of The Village Church.
Recently, I shared a song I recorded to Facebook for my wife as we celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary. Along the way, I was humbled by comments from viewers who remarked about how we demonstrated our love for one another and kudos for being married so long. I say humbled because I don't really feel I have done anything extraordinary. I believe my wife would say the same thing (although I have been the beneficiary of many her extraordinary acts of love).
Just a vessel, and a broken one at that.
For every time a person complimented me for singing a song for my wife, I could point to dozens of requests by my wife to record many songs over the years. Whether due to laziness or an exaggerated sense of perfectionism, I didn't fulfill my promise to her to record many songs. In reality, a successful marriage can hardly be defined by the utter volume of broken or unfulfilled promises on my part… unless…..unless there is a greater husband than me…unless there is a greater promise-keeper than me….unless there is a greater promise than all of those wrapped up in the marriage vows.
When asked what the secret of a long marriage is, you often hear the stock answer "it's not us, it's by the grace of God" or "it's because of our faith". Those are correct responses, but they don't mean very much until you know how utterly weak we are as vessels. I will not speak for Tina, but as for myself I confess that I'm extremely lacking as a husband. I'm self-absorbed, insecure, prone to anger and lust, and as the classic hymn would say, prone to wander.
In light of the modern day celebrity examples of males who use and abuse women, I can't point fingers. Though I haven't egregiously acted out in some of the ways that many of these men have, I confess that my heart is every bit as bent toward these behaviors apart from God's grace. So when we say, "but for the grace of God", it must be prefaced with the acceptance that we are creatures who are inherently doomed to fail without it.
God created the institution of marriage to bring glory (or put on display) the redemptive characteristics of his covenant between Himself and his people. It is a covenant that only He has fulfilled as his people repeatedly fail to live up to their requirements much like spouses fail at living up to vows they made to each other. But God is the perfect spouse. He is a good God, so he calls on spouses to show His goodness to each other. He is a forgiving God, so he calls on spouses to forgive each other. He is a merciful God, so he calls on spouses to show mercy to each other. He is a longsuffering God, so he calls on spouses to suffer one another until death parts us. He is a loving God, so he calls on spouses to love each other. He loved us by humbly serving us, so he calls us as spouses to serve one another. He loved us by dying for us, so he calls us to die to ourselves and our selfish pursuits.
10 years ago, my wife and I completed Financial Peace University. Up until this time, our pattern was to live paycheck to paycheck and to instantly gratify ourselves with "no interest" revolving credit with the goal of paying it off before the interest kicked in. Needless to say, that never happened. The furniture we purchased wore out long before the debt. In addition, we financed cars and TV sets and whatever else we weren't willing to wait on. We never saved. When we tried to save money, we always took it right back out before the month was up. The worst of all our attempts at savings was when we cashed out an IRA hat I had from a previous employer. I was unemployed for 8 months and thought this was the right decision at the time, in spite of the 10% penalty and ensuing taxes which, you guessed it, couldn't afford to pay at tax time.
So when we went through FPU, we were enlightened. We were able to complete baby step 1 by saving a thousand dollars and we were on our way. Except, we weren't. We loved the idea of having an emergency fund so much that we skipped baby step 2 and went to baby step 3. We "ished" it. The next 10 years seemed peaceful when things happened like home AC repairs, auto repairs and the like. We thought we were so smart. We would humble-brag about how great it was to have an emergency fund and not sweat it when Murphy showed up on our doorstep.
When you think about it, using your emergency fund to buy toys when you are not out of debt and not investing enough into retirement is basically credit isn't it? Instead of borrowing from Citibank, you are borrowing from your future…check that…you're STEALING from your future because you are taking funds that will never have the chance to experience compound interest. So, let me shoot down the myth of "borrowing from yourself" and call it what it really is. Stealing from yourself. Ouch!
To many, all of this sounds great! This would sound like financial peace to a lot of people, and truthfully it did to us. Except, it isn't. In spite of all we were able to accomplish, we both turned 50 and realized we were far behind on our retirement savings. We were not able to do the recommended 15% contribution to our 401k because guess what? We were still in debt.
Now, we were blessed not to ever have exorbitant debt like student loans, "more house than we could afford", or high end cars. But, we did have car loans, we did have a couple low balance credit cards, we did have a mortgage, we were only contributing half of what we should to our 401k, and we were not as generous as we wanted to be.
Finally, in February of this year, I rediscovered Dave Ramsey and the baby steps. Like a bolt of lightning I realized how much our "ish-ness" had cost us. If we had followed the steps 10 years ago, we would not only be out of debt already, we would have a lot more in our retirement accounts and I would not be stressing about age 65 and beyond so much.
A couple things that Dave pointed out that motivated me. First, we needed to halt our 401k contributions and use those funds to speed up the debt snowball. Secondly, we needed to apply any savings above $1000.00 we had toward our debt. You don't know how difficult it was to do these two things. They seemed counter to everything I thought we should be doing which was saving money. But, I realized, the only financial peace to be had would come by following the steps…in the order they were meant to be followed. There was a reason for this and our experience of the past 10 years proved us. Lesson learned.
Since my rediscovery of Dave Ramsey, we have paid off 2 credit cards and a car loan. Currently, we are on pace to pay off our 2017 Honda CRV (another poor decision made last summer) by the beginning of 2019.
Let me insert a side note here. The way we lived our financial life was normal. It is the way most people live their lives in our culture. Everything in our culture is instantaneous whether it be information, fast food, sexual pleasure, and sadly even religion. Our culture is bent away from reading lengthy books, prepping and cooking meals, courtship in pursuit of marriage, and intentional slow ordinary care of one's own soul.
With everything I know from experience, a trap awaits us at the end of baby step 2. We could feel a false sense of peace having all of our non-mortgage debt paid off, but I know now this wouldn't be true financial peace. Baby Step 3 will be to build that emergency fund of 3-6 months, and then we can finally increase our retirement contribution to the minimum 15% (baby step 4).
I would like to say we do everything perfect, but that would be untrue. We are still struggling to control our spending and tighten our budget. Changing 30 years of bad habits will take some time. Let our experience be an encouragement to you, not to do things the way we did it the last 30 years, or even the last 10 years because to do so would be to rob yourself of much more than retiring comfortably. It will rob of you the joy that comes from spontaneously helping others, obtaining contentment, and of course….financial peace.
P.S. and of course as Dave says, the only true Peace is to walk daily with the Prince of Peace, Christ Jesus.
It was the fall of 1985 when I was sitting in the student union building of a local Baptist bible college eating bacon and eggs while reading the sports page. I had been sitting at one end of a long table or perhaps multiple tables put together. With my head buried in a sea of black ink and football news, a Hispanic hurricane of frenzy at the far end of the table caught my attention. Her audience was a small group of fellow students who were caught up in the conversational storm she was generating. In contrast, I was like an uncharted island on the outskirts, a mound of sand with no prospects for habitation. At least for now.
I did not catch her name though her white cotton dress with the shoulder ties she wore that day made the perfect backdrop for her long jet black hair and remains branded in my memory banks. Throughout our freshman year, I would see this hurricane popping up all over the tiny campus. I eventually learned that her name was Tina with a funny last name. Incredibly, when you're talking about a small college like ours, we actually ran in different circles. For example, I was oblivious to any knowledge of a dance party she hosted at her parents' house that surely would have caused a huge scandal in this Baptist college, if only for the dancing that took place. Imagine 25% of a 180 student body crammed into her parent's modest Euless, Texas home, and I wasn't even there! It's just as well. My moves are not exactly ones of local legend.
The first time I can even remember speaking with her that year was when she approached me to inquire about the availability of one of my friends. Now, I can't say I tried very hard to help her out as I'm not one for match-making. The next time I remember talking to her was 1 year later as she again grilled me about a guy, a different one who I had just met and who would later end up being my closest friend for the next 3 decades and counting. This time I made a little more effort and mentioned her to him, but as it turned out, he wasn't interested. But his rebuttal did not deter her from trying and he didn't realize how difficult it would be to flee such a storm as she relentlessly pursued him. Even though he had a new girlfriend, the Hurricane wouldn't be easily dismissed. Ultimately, my friend would not be swept away by the storm. Meanwhile, the three of us starting hanging out and going places because I guess he needed me as some kind of Bizarro wing man. So I became the quintessential third wheel as my friend drove us around in his early 70's Buick. Tina sat in the middle of front bench seat and would frequently scoot over as close to him as possible while I sat contently on the passenger side. This arrangement would go on for many nights out..dinners, movies, what have you. Even though I was an extra in this little production, the Island and the Hurricane became friends. She would become the sounding board for my girl problems while I covertly ran interference for my friend. In spite of this development, the hurricane was still nowhere on the radar of this uncharted island.
One of the strangest times we went out together, as friends of course, was to Randol Mill Park in Arlington. We had been driving around, probably looking at Christmas lights, and decided to go park. It was strange because I have no idea why 2 friends go parking at night. I don't remember for sure whose idea it was (probably mine), but I do remember that night contemplating holding her hand or putting my arm around her, but I didn't. Deep down something was developing beyond the friendship, but I just wasn't sure about her. I mean, she wasn't someone I had considered dating before, yet here we were in a sense, dating. We certainly didn't call it that. It was just one of those many nights we hung out together as friends.
Another thing that was the basis for our friendship was our membership in the college's traveling ensemble. When singing on stage she was paired with my friend, and I was paired with…well no one. I was the pianist which means I was by myself in my own little world as the musical accompaniment for this fine singing group. The ensemble would sing at local churches and on campus in chapel services as well as a couple 2 week tours in the winter and spring to recruit for the college. I was enjoying my 3rd semester in the group, and this was Tina's first. The ensemble presented the first occasion where the hurricane would enter the general vicinity of my coordinates. This experience would prove to be the catalyst for shifting winds that would soon occur.
After an autumn schedule of concerts, the ensemble's winter tour was coming. In late December of 1986, 15-17 people jumped on a charter bus and headed for the Southeast region of the country. When we took off for Florida, the hurricane was still somewhat making waves for my friend, but her patience was finally beginning to waver. (see what I did there?) The storm was finally weakening a little bit. During the first several days of the tour she sat next to him on the bus while I sat alone across the aisle. Don't feel sorry for me though as I was perfectly fine with all that. But on January 1st, 1987, the winds shifted.
Many of the tour stops were in Florida that winter. The routine was simple. We arrived at a church, unpacked, set up sound equipment, went back to the motel where we stayed, got dressed…guys in matching blue suits with pink and blue paisley ties, the girls in glossy pink dresses, (Hey, it was the 80's ok?) and finally back to the church to put on an hour and a half concert.
Though sometimes we would stay in the homes of local church members, more often than not we stayed in motels usually 4 guys to a room and 4 girls to a room. In the evenings we'd go watch TV or play games in other rooms, usually where most of the group members were hanging out. The three of us were hanging out in one of the rooms watching TV. Now, before I continue with how this night went, I think it's important to mention that Tina and I had never had any discussion about us ever being a couple. You could say that the whole concept would have been laughable (for all parties) if it had ever been entertained. Yet, we were always together during the fall of 1986. Usually, these times were spent sorting out each other's romantic pursuits. In fact, she tried to fix me up with another girl she knew from church after I had finally struck out with the girl I had been pining for. I can vividly remember the particular afternoon where she had set up a meeting between me and this other girl. It was to be at a Burger King in a nearby town. To this day, she makes fun of the little bottle of cologne that sat in the cubby hole of my 1975 brown Dodge Duster with its white vinyl bucket seats. The product was called "Hawk"! And at this point in my life, I had not quite mastered the proper ratio of cologne to splash my face with. The whole car reeked of this potion. It's a wonder the girl at Burger King agreed to a date shortly after. I don't even think I asked her out. I was so shy that I think it was actually Tina that asked her out for me. So I did take this girl out, but as fate would have it, there was no real spark between us and I was back to square one. The lonely little island with an oncoming storm approaching.
The island and the hurricane were as opposite as could be. She was an extroverted, relational, grade 5 storm of hospitality while I was an introverted mist of corny humor. We were the original Monica and Chandler. Just like Chandler, humor was my defense mechanism. One such attempt at humor I performed was when I would grab her, pull her in close, look longingly into her eyes, and move in for a passionate kiss or so it would appear. Then at the last Lucy-holding-the-football moment, I would cover her mouth with my hand and then kiss the back of it. To an onlooker, they would have assumed our lips were locked only to discover with close examination that I was faking the whole thing.
So, back to the motel room. (Sounds seedy doesn't it?) It was New Years Day and the Orange Bowl was playing on television. There we were, the three of us, watching the football game. I think there might have been a commercial playing when I decided to dust off the old fake kiss comedy routine. (I probably performed this bit a half dozen times) So as we sat on the bed in front of the tv, I pulled her in close….looked longingly into her eyes, and finally moved in for a passionate fake kiss. Except, I didn't cover her mouth this time. My heart began to race and the voices in my head screamed, "what are you doing?!? What are you doing?!!" …and then it happened… The kiss heard around the world! What must have lasted 5 seconds would transform my life for decades! The look on her face was one of utter shock or pure ecstasy…I can't be sure. Meanwhile my friend had the same look on his face (shock, not ecstasy). Of course, I can't really say with any certainty what his facial expression was because my eyes were clearly fixed on her deep brown eyes the whole time. There was no joking this time. And these weren't mere pupils. For the first time, I was gazing into the windows of my soul mate, this hurricane that whisked into my life, sending waves crashing into my lonely shores. Now, little did I know, the ramifications of all this. I couldn't see that far into the future. In the moment, I could only think about how this all would be received by our friends the next day on the tour bus as she moved across the aisle to sit next to me. They would surely be stunned by this turn of events. At that moment, as I looked into her soul, I failed to realize that it would eventually be the one that God would entrust me to cultivate, to encourage, to care for, and to love. I would be lying if I said that I came to this realization on our wedding day 3 1/2 years later, but even now, after 27 years of marriage, parenthood, and ministry, there is still so much to learn, so much to discover about her…about myself….about Christ at the center.
I could write about the ensuing weeks and months, about how I put us both through hell trying to break up with her only to come crawling back 24 hours after I had secured my "freedom". Even when I came to my senses, I still didn't think this would last. As she would attest, she was the emotion-driven antithesis to my quirky stoicism. I found great comfort in my aloofness as an uncharted island that might never be discovered. She was that hurricane I couldn't control..I only hoped I could survive the unpredictability. As it turned out, my talent for detachment only exacerbated her emotions, and her outbursts served only to stoke the inward fires of my reticence. But by God's grace, we've grown out of our childish ways, which isn't to say we're fundamentally different than we were back then. But the view is vastly different. I no longer see her as someone to survive… if that were even possible. I now only see her as a beautiful, flourishing force of nature!
No one could have predicted how the Island and the Hurricane would come together to be this perfect match. It's not what what either one of us was seeking for in the fall of 1986. You can only attribute it to God's creativity as he often uses the unimaginable to enlarge our imagination and dispel our presumptions. If not for the Hurricane, this Island would have easily drifted out of view. But God knew it wasn't good for me to be alone and whipped up a storm to be his appointed means of tethering me to Him. An island needs a storm to jostle it out of lethargy and a Hurricane needs a place to touch down lest she dissipate into nothingness. God performs unfathomable miracles. After all, He created this world we live in out of utter chaos. For us, He created our union from the raw materials of passion and introspection. If left to our natural state, we would have been a chaotic mess, but formed by a Sovereign God, we're a living testament to His mercy and grace.
Now, on this day, her 51st birthday, I'm so grateful for the chance to grow old with this Proverbs 31 woman…..for the Godly wife she's been to me, for her forgiveness, for that ferocious heart of hers that pursues her family and never gives up on us, for her model of motherhood marked by patience and endurance not perfection. I thank God for her as his means to calm my anxious heart while I get to be his means for protecting hers.

Q: WAS7 System Properties in RAD 7.5.1 I have an old project in WSAD 5.1.2 with a WAS4 server configuration that's in a .wsi-file. If I double click it I get the server configuration editor and on the environment tab there is a System Properties section with some name-value pairs.
Now I have opened the same project in RAD 7.5.1. Where can i input the same name-value pairs for a server in RAD 7.5.1? There's no "environment-tab" if I double-click my server, just an "Overview" tab.

A: I finally found the proper way of doing it in the admin web interface...
Application servers > myServer > Process definition > Java Virtual Machine > Custom properties

A: In RAD 7.5.4 JVM name value pair is stored in Servers --> Application Servers --> java and process Management --> process definition --> java virtual machine --> custom properties
here you can create a new name value pair which can be used by Java code using System get properties function.

A: Apparently IBM started to ship a real application server starting with RAD/RSA6 instead of the test server that comes with WSAD. So to configure the appserver it's just to use the web admin interface as usual.
Thanks to Jeanne Boyarsky for the answer in the forums over at The Java Ranch.
The old app I'm porting needs some properties in the system properties of the JVM set so that they can be retrieved with System.getProperty(...) and I found a dirty way of making it work. So, until I find out how to do it the proper way, if there is a proper way, I came up with this hack:
After doing some "find" and "grep" in the profile directory of the appserver i found a file called:
runtimes\base_v7\profiles\<profilename>\config\cells\<cellname>\nodes\<nodename>\servers\<servername>\server.xml
At the bottom of server.xml there is a <jvmEntries xmi:id="JavaVirtualMachine_.... tag.
Inside it you can add system properties tags on the format:
<systemProperties xmi:id="someId" name="name of your property" value="the value" required="false"/>
Anyone who knows how to to this the proper way and has read all the way down here must be crying by now... :)
But, it seams to work...

Natalie Spinell is the philanthropist and humanitarian who is deeply concerned about the state of the world, for which she has great compassion and idealism. She has a utopian personality, and will spend her life trying to realize some aspect of her utopian dream, sacrificing money, time, and energy for a better world.

However, due to her strong social consciousness - she can be an effective politician, lawyer, judge, minister, teacher, healer, environmentalist or in any other vocation that carries a clear social impact.
Natalie Spinell has a romantic personality, but her love is more impersonal as she tends to be focused on her dreams instead. When not in harmony with her true nature, Natalie can fall to moodiness, or become aloof, and withdrawn.

This is Natalie's life-lesson - to accept the natural limitations of the world and its habitants in order to make it possible for her to enjoy life more fully.
Spinell must learn to let go of material possessions and relationships because holding on too tightly to anything causes her pain. The more she gives, the bigger is her reward, and the most successful and satisfying road for her is sharing and sacrificing for the larger goal, without expecting anything in return.

Since "The Fall of Berlin," at the Stanley, is a Russian-made fictionization of the most triumphant Communist undertaking since 1917, our former allies have spared nothing in the way of showmanship. In length, scope, spectacularity and color photography, the film dwarfs most Mosfilm Studio products since World War II, as perhaps it should. For more than two hours this huge panorama unreels in deliberate steamroller crescendo, spanning the peaceful pre-war existence of the Ukraine and, of course, the devastation of the German capital.It includes some unique impersonations of Premier Stalin, many of the Soviet military hierarchy, Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun, and, for good measure, Mr. Churchill and Mr. Roosevelt. This deafening blend of historical pageantry and wishful thinking also is threaded by a Hollywood-style plot separating and reuniting a patriotic steel worker and a school teacher, written by P. Pavlenko and Mikhail Chiaureli, and directed by the latter as though his life depended upon it.Artkino Pictures, the distributors, contend that "approximately 1,200,000 people" already have witnessed "The Fall of Berlin." Well and good, from a combat viewpoint. For officially credited with the major part of Berlin's downfall, the Soviets have dramatically revisioned it, against authentic looking backgrounds, as the troops hammerlock the flaming city by land and air and, in the film's most incisive staging, invade the bombed out Reichstag with the red victory banner.But in complete contrast to this rousing, heroic finale are some questionable sequences that keep most of this ambitious pageant on the level of juvenile pulp fiction. A good deal of footage is devoted to an absurdly pontifical version of what happened to Hitler, as the shreiking Fuhrer and a swooning Eva Braun carry out a marriage-suicide pact beneath the Chancellory. Far more subtle, but even more contrived, is another scene at the Yalta conference table, where a meek Franklin D. Roosevelt parrots the beneficent utterances of the presiding Russian premier, who expansively convinces a churlish and stubborn old Winston Churchill of the Soviet priority to strike Berlin while the iron is hot.Lastly, the hysterical emoting of the sweethearts, played by Boris Andreyev and M. Kovaleva, sets and maintains the histrionic keynote for the entire picture, excepting the dignified, kind-faced actor who performs Stalin. The leader first appears at work in his garden, lending an attentive ear to a singing bird and finally alighting by plane amid the Berlin victory celebration, a Gilbert and Sullivan frolic that reunites the hero and heroine. "Peace and happiness," is his jovial benediction from the ramp. But the battle scenes steal the show.

#GAReads | Why Is the Onus On Women to Curb Workplace Interruptions?
The recent spectacle of Senator Kamala Harris's male colleagues repeatedly cutting her off at Senate Intelligence Committee hearings is the latest reminder of what several studies dating back to at least 1975 have shown, and what female professionals have been saying for decades: All too often, women at work can't finish a sentence without being interrupted, usually by a man.
Part of the problem with the usual advice for curbing these interruptions is that it puts the onus on women to do something differently.

In honor of Srila Prabhupada's arrival in America, we shall sing the poem he wrote on the ship Jaladuta as he arrived in the Boston harbor.
1: My dear Lord Krsna, You are so kind upon this useless soul, but I do not know why You have brought me here. Now You can do whatever You like with me.
2: But I guess You have some business here. Otherwise, why would You bring me to such a terrible place?
3: Most of the population here is covered by the material modes of ignorance and passion. Absorbed in material life, they think themselves very happy and satisfied, and therefore they have no taste for the transcendental message of Vasudeva. I do not know how they will able to understand it.
4: But I know Your causeless mercy can make everything possible, because You are the most expert mystic.
5: How will they understand the mellows of devotional service? O Lord, I am simply praying for Your mercy so that I will be able to convince them about Your message.
6: All living entities have come under the control of the illusory energy by Your will, and therefore, if You like, by Your will they can also be released from the clutches of illusion.
7: I wish that You may deliver them. Therefore, if You so desire their deliverance, then only will they be able to understand Your message.
8: The words of Srimad-Bhagavatam are Your incarnation, and if a sober person repeatedly receives them with submissive aural reception, then he will be able to understand Your message.
10: He will become liberated from the influence of the modes of ignorance and passion, and thus all inauspicious things accumulated in the core of the heart will disappear.
11: How will I make them understand the message of Krsna consciousness? I am very unfortunate, unqualified, and the most fallen. Therefore I am seeking Your benediction so that I can convince them, for I am powerless to do so on my own.
12: Somehow or other, O Lord, You have brought me here to speak about You. Now, my Lord, it is up to You to make me a success or failure as You like.
13: O spiritual master of all the worlds! I can simply repeat Your message, so if You like You can make my power of speaking suitable for their understanding.
14: Only by Your causeless mercy will my words become pure. I am sure that when this transcendental message penetrates their hearts they will certainly feel engladdened and thus become liberated from all unhappy conditions of life.
15: O Lord, I am just like a puppet in Your hands. So if You have brought me here to dance, then make me dance, make me dance. O Lord, make me dance as You like.
16: I have no devotion, nor do I have any knowledge, but I have strong faith in the holy name of Krsna. I have been designated as Bhaktivedanta, and now if You like You can fulfill the real purport of Bhaktivedanta.
"On September 17, 1965, His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada arrived in Boston on board the ship Jaladuta, carrying within his heart the orders of his spiritual master to spread the teachings of Sri Caitanya beyond the borders of India, throughout the entire world. As he looked upon Boston's bleak and dirty skyline he could understand the difficulty of this sacred mission and felt great compassion for those godless people. Thus, with perfect humility, he composed this historic prayer in Bengali, praying for the deliverance of the fallen souls.
It is also interesting how Srila Prabhupada sees his coming to America as Krsna's doing, although he himself had been making so much endeavor–such as cultivating Sumati Morarji to get her to sponsor his journey–to fulfill the mission of his spiritual master and come to the West. He had to convince her. It wasn't easy. She was reluctant because of Srila Prabhupada's elderly age and the fact that he didn't have any friends or relatives in America. So he had to convince her, but still he is saying to Krsna, "I don't know why you brought me here." Srila Prabhupada is seeing that it was actually Krsna who made the arrangements and who brought him to the United States.
That is how the devotee sees any experience he has in life: he sees it as Krsna's mercy. Once, Gaurakisora dasa Babaji Maharaja was begging, doing bhiksa, going door to door in Navadvipa-dhama, and some mischievous young boys started to throw stones at him. He saw the situation in a completely different way than we would–at least than I would.
Anyway, the principle here is that Srila Prabhupada is seeing this arrangement as Krsna's. And actually we also have to try to develop that vision, to see Krsna's plan in everything, to see Krsna's arrangement in everything–that we have surrendered to Him and so He is taking care of us. Sometimes we may experience setbacks or disappointments, but actually Krsna has some reason for giving them to us. We should try to understand that, and if we do, we'll never be disappointed in life. We'll be always happy in Krsna's mercy, even in adversity.
So Prabhupada went, and he sat comfortably in the chair. Then the interviewer asked, "In your religion, do you have a concept of hell?" "Yes," Srila Prabhupada answered, "London is hell." The interviewer was shocked. He didn't know how to continue. It wasn't the expected response. Prabhupada had actually stumped him. There were seconds of silence. Then Prabhupada saved the day. He said, "But it is a great credit to the British people that they have established such a great civilization under such hellish conditions, with hellish weather." And from then on, the interviewer was very respectful, and Prabhupada actually got to preach. Srila Prabhupada was so expert.
Prabhupada's view, coming from Goloka Vrndavana, is that this material world is hellish. Whether it is America or England, it's all the material world and so it's hellish.
Another thing I remember here is Srila Prabhupada's talk in Gainesville, when he said, "It is so nice to see so many young boys and girls chanting Hare Krsna in this remote corner of the world, so far away from the birthplace of Lord Caitanya." His perspective was that this was a terrible place and that he was here only for Krsna's work, only for Krsna's pleasure, only to fulfill Krsna's desire: to deliver the conditioned souls–to give them a spark of Krsna consciousness, a ray of bhakti.
Not only is it very difficult, but it is almost impossible, and it is a miracle that Srila Prabhupada accomplished what he did. No one else could do it, not even all the other great acaryas who appeared in this world. They taught in Bharata-varsa, in India, where the Lord Himself made His appearance and where the Vedas are generally understood and respected. But that Prabhupada was able to come to this foreign land and instill this sraddha, this faith, within the hearts of the Westerners–it is a great miracle. Bhaktivinoda Thakura envisioned it and endeavored for it himself. Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura spoke with Westerners (as did Bhaktivinoda Thakura) and personally sent his disciples to the West to try to do it, and he was maintaining them in London. But it was Srila Prabhupada who was actually successful in performing this miraculous feat. And by reading these songs, we can get a taste or a glimpse of how and why: it was by his surrender to Krsna, his humility, his absolute faith in the instruction of his spiritual master.
I replied, "Well, this is also a difficult question to answer." But I suggested that it was by his faith in the words of his spiritual master: Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati gave him the order, and he understood that it was the desire of his spiritual master and of the acaryas and of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and because it was their desire so it would be. Because of that faith and surrender he was able to fulfill the impossible.
So, we will conclude here, and Giriraj Maharaja will continue from verse six.
In reply to the question "How?" Srila Prabhupada answers here, "By Your mercy," by Krsna's mercy. But Krsna's mercy is not the whole answer; it is actually by Srila Prabhupada's appeal to Krsna for His mercy.
Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura has discussed how the conditioned souls get bhakti. He proves with evidence from the scriptures that one cannot get bhakti by karma or jnana, fruitive activities or mental speculation, or by austerities, charity, mystic perfections, or any other pious acts. He quotes from the Bhagavatam (11.3.31), bhaktya sanjataya bhaktya: bhakti comes from bhakti. But how does bhakti comes from bhakti? What is the actual process?
He says that someone may propose that one gets bhakti by the mercy of Krsna. But Krsna is equal to all. He is the supreme father of all living entities, so He must be equal to all. So we cannot simply say that the cause of bhakti is the mercy of Krsna, because Krsna would bestow bhakti equally on everyone, whereas practically we see that some get bhakti while others do not. Then Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura says, "One could propose that one gets bhakti by the mercy of the devotee." But again one might argue that the devotee, like the Lord, should be equal to everyone.
Here Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura says that the preacher, the madhyama-bhakta, by nature shows partiality or discretion in distributing mercy, as stated in Srimad-Bhagavatam (11.2.46): prema-maitri-krpopeksa yah karoti sa madhyama–he gives his love to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, makes friendship with devotees, shows mercy to the innocent, and neglects the envious. Thus, giving mercy, specifically to the innocent, is the preacher's function. Therefore, even though a maha-bhagavata such as Srila Prabhupada in the ultimate sense sees everyone equally, everyone as a servant of Krsna and therefore in no need of mercy, nevertheless, when he takes the position of a preacher and functions as a preacher, he gives mercy to the innocent.
Now, how does he give the mercy? He prays to Krsna to give mercy, and thus it is said that the mercy of Krsna follows the mercy of the devotee.
What is our qualification? I think that if I look for my qualifications I don't find any. Our only qualification is that Srila Prabhupada took compassion on us and gave us his mercy: He prayed to Krsna for us, just as he says here in the poem.
So, back to Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura's discussion. Someone could question, "Why should Krsna listen to the prayers of the devotee? So many people are praying to Krsna; why should Krsna listen especially to the devotee? Is that not also partiality in Krsna?" Here Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura says that of all of Krsna's qualities, the quality of being affectionate to His devotees, bhakta-vatsalya, is considered the supermost, the emperor that conquers over all the Lord's other qualities and reconciles all contradictions. So being partial to His devotees is not a fault (dusanam) in Krsna, but it is an ornament (bhusanam)–His most exalted quality. He really has no desire other than to please His devotees. Just as the devotees have no desire other than to please Krsna, Krsna really has no desire other than to please His devotees.
So when a devotee such as Srila Prabhupada prays to Krsna to give mercy to the fallen souls, or to a particular soul, Krsna readily does it. He readily does it to please His devotee.
The same verse was quoted by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to Vasudeva Datta. Vasudeva Datta had prayed, "Let all the sinful reactions of all the living entities in the entire universe fall upon me," and Lord Caitanya became overwhelmed with love for Vasudeva Datta. Lord Caitanya began to tremble and weep out of affection for Vasudeva Datta.
So this is, from one point of view, the secret: In his sincere love and compassion, and in his intimate relationship with Krsna, Srila Prabhupada prayed for us, and Krsna reciprocated.
Many people heard Srila Prabhupada's message, or Krsna's message, but not all developed faith in the message. The beginning of bhakti is faith (adau sraddha). Thus, when we ask how one gets bhakti, we really mean how one gets sraddha, which is bhakti in its initial stage.
Here "faith" means faith in the words of the scriptures and the words of the spiritual master that glorify and explain the process of bhakti. Therefore Prabhupada, in utter humility, prayed that Krsna make his words suitable, and he also prayed that Krsna enlighten us, or inspire us, with appreciation for His message. Thus Srila Prabhupada, in the mood of utter surrender, really saw that Krsna was doing everything: Krsna was inspiring him to speak, and Krsna was inspiring us to appreciate what he said.
Even we, as servants of Srila Prabhupada, had the same mood–though not to the same degree–when we tried to distribute books. We prayed, "Please inspire me how to approach this person. Please make my words suitable." We would pray to Krsna–especially while the person was looking at the book and considering whether to buy it–"Please inspire this person to take the book. Please inspire this person to do service." And that is the mood. That is the mood.
Earlier, Srila Prabhupada had said, "Because the population is absorbed in material enjoyment, they cannot appreciate the message of Vasudeva." And now he is saying, "If they hear the message of Vasudeva, the desire for material enjoyment will be cleansed from their hearts." The idea here is similar to Rupa Gosvami's verse that says that even though the sweet holy names, forms, qualities, and pastimes of Krsna may be bitter to the diseased conditioned souls, if they take the medicine of the holy names they will be cured of the disease, and then they will be able to relish the sweetness.
So both methods–serving the person bhagavata and reading the book Bhagavata– work, and from the very beginning Srila Prabhupada engaged the devotees in service. One famous example was when the man walked into the storefront at 26 Second Avenue with a roll of toilet paper and offered it to Srila Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada accepted it and said, "He has begun his devotional service." Once, another person came to the storefront in New York with some Mayavadi leaflets, and Srila Prabhupada accepted them too. Later, when the devotees were distributing prasad, he handed out those leaflets for the guests to use like paper plates. So Prabhupada knew the value of service, and he did whatever he could to engage anyone and everyone in devotional service.
So, Srila Prabhupada prayed to Krsna to give His mercy to us, to make his words suitable and to make us appreciate his message. But then again, we also have to take up the process, and here I think of the example of the person fallen in the well. On his own, he cannot get out of the well. But if someone comes and sends a rope down into the well, he can be delivered. Still, he has to make the effort and hold on to the rope. The mercy of the spiritual master is that he gives us proper instructions, and, if we hold on to the instructions, he will lift us out of the well of material existence and deliver us to the lotus feet of Krsna.
Once, in Bombay, a disciple said to Srila Prabhupada, "Please give me your mercy that I may follow your instructions," and Srila Prabhupada replied, "It is like you are in a well and I hand down a rope to lift you out of the well and you are praying, 'O Prabhupada! O Prabhupada! Please make my fingers curl around the rope and hold on.'" Srila Prabhupada explained, "My mercy is that I send down the rope, but you have to hold on to it." So, Srila Prabhupada's mercy is that he gives us the instructions. But we have to do our part. Therefore, because both–mercy and effort–are involved, if someone was too far on one side, Srila Prabhupada would emphasize the other side to bring the person to the proper position.
Another time in Bombay, an Indian gentleman came to Srila Prabhupada and said, "Swamiji, Swamiji, please save me. Only you can save me. I am drowning in the ocean of material existence. Please save me. Only you can save me." And Srila Prabhupada replied, "I cannot save you. But I can give you the method by which you can save yourself. But you have to do the work." So this is the combination that works: on the one side Srila Prabhupada's mercy in the form of his instructions and his prayers to Krsna that we can appreciate His mercy and instructions, and on the other side our efforts. But of course, Srila Prabhupada also inspires us to make efforts, and he continues to do so today.
We also have the example that Yasoda is trying to bind Krsna with ropes but is unsuccessful. The ropes are always two inches too short. She is struggling, taking ropes from all over the house, tying them together, but still the ropes are two inches too short! When Krsna sees the perspiration on her forehead, when He sees that the flowers that were decorating her hair have fallen to the ground and that her hair has become disarrayed, and how she is working so hard to bind Him, He thinks, "Okay, let her bind Me." And so she finally ties that knot, and Krsna is bound. Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura says that the two inches of rope that were missing represent two things: one is the endeavor of the devotee, and the other is Krsna's mercy, Krsna's agreement. When Krsna gives His mercy, and the devotee endeavors to take that mercy, then we are successful in binding Krsna, or achieving Krsna. Of course, that mercy comes to us.
The three modes of material nature–sattva, rajas, and tamas–are the constituents of material nature, and the spiritual nature also has three constituents–samvit, sandhini, and hladini, or eternity, knowledge, and bliss (sac-cid-ananda). They translate, in their perverted form in this material nature, as goodness, passion, and ignorance. They are the opposite of transcendence. Because we are covered by these modes of material nature, we cannot appreciate the message of Vasudeva. However, by contacting the pure devotee and hearing that message, these troublesome things in the heart are cleaned away, and then we can appreciate the message of Vasudeva.
Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, ceto-darpana marjanam: the cetah, or the consciousness, which is also the heart, is cleaned of all the dust accumulated for years on it. When a mirror has dust covering it, you cannot see yourself in it. You cannot see who you are. But when that dust is cleaned away, you can see yourself. Similarly, when the mirror of the heart is cleaned, we can understand our nature as soul, as servant of Krsna.
It is not something mechanical or artificial; one has to become empowered by the Lord. One has to become saktyavesa, an empowered representative of the Lord, and then that dynamic is there. Certainly Srila Prabhupada was empowered by Krsna because of his full dedication, full faith, and full surrender to the Lord. It is not a material phenomenon, that one can represent the Lord and transform the heart of the conditioned soul. It is a transcendental phenomenon.
Now, bhakti means "devotion" and vedanta means "knowledge." Actually, veda means "knowledge" and anta means "the end." So vedanta means "the end of knowledge," or "the conclusion of all knowledge." Here Srila Prabhupada is saying, "I am designated as Bhaktivedanta, but I have no bhakti or vedanta. But if You like, You can make me Bhaktivedanta." And so we come back to Srila Prabhupada's secret. How did Srila Prabhupada succeed? He says, "I have strong faith in the holy names of Sri Krsna." Sri Prahlada mentioned Prabhupada's faith in his spiritual master and in the previous acaryas, and along with such faith comes faith in the process of devotional service and especially in the holy names.
Srila Prabhupada had a godbrother named Akincana Krsnadasa Babaji Maharaja who was always absorbed in hari-nama. In fact, I heard that Srila Prabhupada said he was a paramahamsa. In any case, he was always absorbed in hari-nama. So, once, Krsnadasa Babaji Maharaja met a godbrother . . .
For some time in Calcutta the temple president somehow became absorbed in doing business, in making money for the temple, and the devotees in the temple were sort of neglected. Of course, we were poor–very poor. We couldn't afford milk. And even if we could, we wouldn't know what white liquid we might get anyway. It seemed likely to be a combination of buffalo milk, water, and paper. Milkmen used to soak paper in watery milk to add bulk to the liquid. And there was one devotee there named Sudama Vipra. He was really strong. He had tattoos, and he was really strong. But even he was starving. We all were starving. So after the arati, he would get the ghee wicks and squeeze the ghee wicks to try to get a drop or two of ghee out.
So he was very sympathetic to the devotees. He said that we should have meetings every week and that we should record our resolutions in the minute book and stick to the resolutions. He was very concerned.
But then Srila Prabhupada's mood changed. He told us that we shouldn't be too absorbed in these material matters, because the tendency of the conditioned souls is to be engrossed in material things, and if we get too preoccupied and just talk about material things, then we'll forget Krsna. We won't talk about Krsna.
Then he told us, "My motto has always been 'Everything for Krsna and nothing for myself.' Therefore I never complained." He said, "I suffered so much for the sake of this movement"–for our sake, really. "I had two heart attacks on the boat on the way to New York. Then in New York City I had a stroke." And he confided, "Even otherwise, I had headaches and ringing in my ears. . . . You cannot conceive of how much I suffered, and I don't want to discuss it also. But my motto was always 'Everything for Krsna and nothing for myself.'" And that is Prabhupada. That is Prabhupada.
1971, which is when I first heard it. A few of us were living in the Sea Palace Hotel in Bombay. We didn't have any place in Bombay, and Srila Prabhupada had a friend from England named Ramchand Chhabria who owned the Sea Palace Hotel. He was vegetarian and the hotel was vegetarian, and we didn't have any other place to stay, so Prabhupada sort of arranged for us to stay there. When the magazine came, there were just a few of us–Gurudasa Prabhu, Mother Yamuna, and myself. So we got the magazine, and the first article was the poem. Mother Yamuna read it out loud. And when she came to this–"Signed–the most unfortunate, insignificant beggar, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami"–she burst into tears. She couldn't contain herself.

Anton Weber (* 5. November 1878 in Kindberg, Steiermark; † 28. Dezember 1950 in Wien) war ein österreichischer Politiker (SPÖ) und Amtsführender Stadtrat in Wien. Weber war verheiratet.

Nach dem Besuch der Volksschule erlernte Weber den Beruf des Maschinenbauers und war als Schmiedgeselle in Kindberg tätig. Weber arbeitete ab 1910 in Krumau in Böhmen und übersiedelte 1913 nach Wien, wo er als Maschinenmonteur und als Administrator des Volksboten in Floridsdorf tätig war. Nach der Ableistung des Kriegsdienstes zwischen 1915 und 1918 wurde er 1918 zum Obmann der SDAP Floridsdorf gewählt, im Dezember 1918 zog er in den provisorischen Gemeinderat ein; am 4. Mai 1919 wurde er im gewählten Gemeinderat angelobt. Er gehörte zudem 1918 bis 1920 den Stadträten  Weiskirchner und Reumann an. (Bis 31. Mai 1920 bestand in Wien als Exekutivausschuss des Wiener Gemeinderates ein 30-köpfiger Stadtrat unter Vorsitz des Bürgermeisters.) Mit der Einführung der Amtsführenden Stadträte schied Weber wieder aus dem Stadtsenat aus.

Weber war vom 4. März 1919 bis zum 9. November 1920 Mitglied der Konstituierenden Nationalversammlung und vom 10. November 1920 bis zum 16. Jänner 1922 Abgeordneter zum Nationalrat (I. Gesetzgebungsperiode).

Er wechselte danach als Amtsführender Stadtrat für Sozialpolitik und Wohnungswesen (Verwaltungsgruppe IV) in den Stadtsenat, nachdem Julius Grünwald ausgeschieden war. Weber wurde am 13. Jänner 1922 im Stadtsenat angelobt. Weber gehörte in der Folge den Stadtsenaten Seitz I, II und III an, wobei er immer das Wohnungsressort führte, dessen Name ab 1927 "Ressort für Wohnungsbau und Wohnungswesen (Verwaltungsgruppe IV)" lautete. In seine Verantwortung fiel damit der Ausbau des Wohnungsangebotes im "Roten Wien" der Zwischenkriegszeit (siehe Gemeindebau). Ein besonderes Anliegen stellte für Weber die Siedlerbewegung dar, die er mitbegründete.

Nach der Niederschlagung der Februarkämpfe wurde Weber 1934 im Anhaltelager Wöllersdorf interniert und stellte in der Folge sein politisches Engagement ein. 1945 boten ihm die sowjetischen Truppen das Bürgermeisteramt an, das Weber ablehnte. Er wirkte jedoch von April 1945 bis 8. November 1947 als Vizebürgermeister und Amtsführender Stadtrat für das Stadtbauamt (Verwaltungsgruppe IV) in den Stadtsenaten Körner I und Körner II.

Weber organisierte zunächst die Schutträumung und den Transport von Nahrungsmitteln. Des Weiteren berief er eine große Enquete für den Wiederaufbau ein, die in der Veröffentlichung von 14 Punkten für den Wiederaufbau gipfelte. Weber gründete zudem die Wiener Baubedarfsgesellschaft, die Baufirmen Maschinen und Gerüste leihweise zur Verfügung stellte. In der Folge kümmerte er sich um die Herstellung von Betondachziegeln und Fertigbeton-Deckenteilen aus Schleuderbeton. Nach 1946 war er an der Ausgestaltung der Baubedarfsgesellschaft beteiligt, in der er bis zu seinem Tod eine leitende Funktion übernahm.

Weber wurde im Urnenhain der Feuerhalle Simmering in einem ehrenhalber gewidmeten Grab (Abt. ALI, Nr. 72) beigesetzt.
