Today's Thought: |

Celebrate the Ecstatic Reality
Uploaded from on the road to Sliven, Bulgaria |

 The
real ecstatic reality is that we are all eternal
spirit-souls, each possessing a unique ecstatic loving
relationships with the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
So why should we suffer unnecessarily in this material
existence? This does not make any sense. All we have to
do is revive our actual identities and celebrate forever
in a festival of divine love with the Supreme Lord.

Question: Liberated Soul Can Become Conditioned? |
|
|
it is said that we have an eternal relationship with
Lord Krishna. This means we had this relationship from
time immemorial. Now let us consider a particular time
when we were conditioned. Does this not mean that we
were previously liberated? So, how can someone be
conditioned after liberation? If we were conditioned
from the beginning, then how can we say, "back to
Godhead"? If we can be conditioned even after
liberation, what is the meaning of "sat cit ananda"
(eternity, knowledge, and bliss)? Please elaborate on
this and bless me with a better understanding of Krishna
and liberation.
Subrahmanyam,

Answer: By Misuse of
Independence |
|
|
Previously we were
liberated in our eternal relationships with Krishna.
That's a fact. But just as a free, liberated citizen can
become a criminal due to a misuse of his freedom and
consequently become arrested and put into prison, in the
same way if a liberated soul misuses his independence,
he will be imprisoned within this material existence.
Each of us has an eternal nature of sat, cit, and ananda
(eternity, knowledge, and bliss). But just as gold can
be covered by dirt, our eternal sat-cit-ananda natures
have become covered by asat, acit, and nirananda
(temporality, ignorance and misery.)
The good news it that by taking seriously to the pathway
of self-realization we can in one lifetime revive our
original sat-cit-ananda, liberated natures and return to
our eternal relationships with the Lord in the spiritual
sky.
