Regain Your Natural Blissful Consciousness
uploaded
from Sri Vrindavan Dhama, India |

All
you have to do to be happy is to be yourself. Nothing
artificial is required. The reason that we are unhappy
is that we have been trained to see everything in an
artificial, highly distorted, false way. In other words,
we don't know who we are. This is why we are suffering.
We think that we are these temporary material bodies
instead of eternal spiritual beings. The body is just a
temporary covering of the actual eternal self. To become
free from this bodily concept we need to hear
submissively from the bona fide spiritual master. He
will teach us to see things clearly so that we can
regain our original, natural, all-blissful state of
consciousness known as Krishna consciousness.

Answer: See God and Give the
Highest Service to All |
|
We have no
interest in giving opinionated comments on the sayings
of others. However, we can analyze the strength or
weakness of any statement based on the timeless
teachings of the Vedas, which are coming from Lord Sri
Krishna, the supreme authority.
This statement is saying that if we don't love man, we
cannot love God. But if we carefully analyze the science
of the relationship between the Lord and the living
entities, we will see that actually it is the other way
around. If we don't love God, we cannot truly love and
serve man.
Without God consciousness we will be merely serving a
man's external covering, the material body, and will be
neglecting service to the eternal spirit-soul who dwells
within. While on the material level we may be able give
a person temporary relief from misery, we cannot give
him permanent relief from misery. On the spiritual
platform, however, we can give him permanent relief from
all kinds of suffering by delivering him back to his
original home in the spiritual world, far beyond this
world of miseries.
And besides this, we can see God, if we will follow the
prescribed process for qualifying ourselves to see
Him, as elaborately described in the Vedic literatures.
So if someone wants to be the perfect servant of all
persons, they should not neglect seeing the Supreme
Person, Lord Sri Krishna, as described in the Sri
Isopanisad:
yas tu sarvāṇi bhūtāny
ātmany evānupaśyati
sarva-bhūteṣu cātmānaṁ
tato na vijugupsate
"He who sees systematically everything in relation to
the Supreme Lord, who sees all living entities as His
parts and parcels, and who sees the Supreme Lord within
everything never hates anything or any being."
--Sri Isopanisad Mantra 6
Even if we are not yet pure enough to see God directly
with our eyes, we can still see Him through the eyes of
the scriptures, as described above, and render the best
service to all by fully engaging ourselves in the
devotional service of the Lord.
