Embracing Problems as the Pathway Back to Godhead
uploaded from Sri Vrindavan Dhama, India

 

When I was boy I remember that one day my father told me regarding his job as the plant engineer at Imperial Sugar in Sugarland, Texas USA, "They pay me to solve problems." So for my father problems were not really problems. They were instead his very means of livelihood. In other words, for my dad problems were money in the bank. Solving problems in the sugar plant was what made his job an interesting and exciting challenge for him every day and what got him paid. This same principle can be applied to the process of awakening our dormant Krishna consciousness. Every problem we face is another opportunity to overcome the influence of the material energy and come one step closer to Krishna. So instead of becoming bewildered by problems, we should embrace them as an exciting challenges that step by step will bring us back to our original loving relationship with Lord Sri Krishna.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: Another Purpose to Life Besides Loving Krishna?


Rev Divine,

You state in your course that the original person is emanating us for the purpose of enjoying a loving relationship with us and that this indeed is the very purpose of our existence.  I am looking for any other way to make me understand the purpose of my existence.

Regards

Motwani

 

Answer: Reality Is God-Centered, Not Self-Centered


The very reason that we are presently caught up in the cycle of repeated birth and death is that we do not like to accept that the very purpose of our existence is to have a loving relationship with Krishna. Instead of putting Krishna in the center, we want to put ourselves in the center. This is the difficulty. We are inclined towards a self-centered reality instead of a God-centered reality.
