If You Want to Taste the Real Nectar
Uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram--Austin,

If
you want to taste the real nectar of Krishna
consciousness, you must master the art of regularly
diving deeply into the sweet, nectarean ocean of Lord Sri
Krishna's holy names. The deeper you go, the sweeter it
gets. And all the miseries of material existence
will gradually fade away into non-existence. In other
words you will no longer be touched by them. You will
awaken to your eternal, pure identity as a servant of
Krishna, the most munificent, beautiful person, who is
ever inviting the fallen conditioned souls to associate
with Him in the ever-expandingly sublime rasa of
devotion, the eternal serving mood.

Answers According to the Vedic Version: |
|
|
Question: Suicide and Abortion? |
|
I would
like to know your opinion about suicide. It's a very low
act, but it is not like harming other creatures. After
committing this act, after leaving the body and that
particular unwanted life, where does the soul of the
doer go? How about abortion? How about the soul that has
already resided in the developing embryo?
K.L.

|
Answer: Ghost Life and
Being Aborted |
|
It is not
a matter of opinion. According to the stringent laws of
material nature if one commits suicide, in his next life
he will not be granted a gross body. He will exist
simply in a subtle body as a ghost. In other words, the
karmic reaction for destroying his gross body is to not
be granted another gross body in his next life.
If one is so frustrated and miserable that he wants to
end his life, he should instead put an end to his
miserable material life by taking to Krishna
consciousness. In this way he will enter into an
eternal, blissful life even while continuing in this
body. And upon leaving his body, he will enter the
spiritual world.
A soul who is aborted is undergoing the karmic reaction
for having aborted a child in his previous life time. If
he was responsible for multiple abortions, he will again
and again appear in a mother's womb and be aborted for
each of the abortions.
This is why we oppose abortion and recommend that those
who do not want to take the responsibility of raising a
child should completely restrain themselves from sex
indulgence. The child enters the mother's womb at the
moment of conception, and to kill a child at any stage
of his development is greatly sinful. Therefore, instead
of trying to find some happiness through some temporary
sense pleasure such as sex, one should move up to a
higher level of pleasure on the transcendental
self-realization platform of Krishna consciousness,
where life is eternal and full of unlimited bliss.
