Smooth Running Bhakti Express

On
27 September 1967 Srila Prabhupada wrote in a letter to
Devananda das, "Guru and Krishna are two parallel lines
on which the spiritual express runs very smoothly." This
is a most appropriate example because to advance in
Krishna consciousness we must faithfully stick to both
tracks: the spiritual master and Krishna. We must serve
both of them simultaneously. If either of them is
neglected, we become derailed from the pathway of
Krishna bhakti. It is only by the mercy of Krishna that
we get a bona fide spiritual master. And it is only by
the mercy of the bona fide spiritual master that we can
advance in Krishna consciousness.

Question: Can Krishna Trace When We Fell? |
|
Hare
Krishna, Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
While reading "Easy Journey to Other Planets", this
question came in my mind. Would you kindly clarify for
me please?
Here's the quote from "Easy Journey to Other Planets":
"There is a spiritual sky, where there are innumerable
spiritual planets and innumerable spiritual living
entities, but those who are not fit to live in that
spiritual world are sent to this material world.
Voluntarily we have accepted this material body, but
actually we are spirit souls who should not have
accepted it. When and how we accepted it cannot be
traced. No one can trace the history of when the
conditioned soul first accepted the material body."
My question is that: Can even Krishna not trace when we
first accepted the material body?
Thank you very much,
Your servant
Yogesh

Answer: There is No
Question of When |
|
Krishna,
being the perfect knower of everything, knows exactly
how we fell into this material existence. But there is
no question of when because our fall down occurred in
timelessness. In the spiritual world time is conspicuous
by its absence. Therefore because we were originally
situated in timelessness our original misuse of
independence also occurred in timelessness.
