Today's Thought:

Finding What We Have Lost
Uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram, Austin, Texas USA

Sometimes when we lose something which is very valuable and necessary for us, such as our wallet, it becomes such a great disturbance that our entire consciousness becomes absorbed in finding that missing thing. For example, even while eating we may think of that missing thing instead of our meal. Or we may awaken in the morning to find ourselves wondering where is that missing valuable as the only thing worth thinking about.

In the same way we should realize that we have lost the absolutely most essential valuable item of our existence, the association of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krishna, and we should thus intensely absorb our entire consciousness in finding that sublime all-merciful Supreme Personality of Godhead, searching, searching, searching for Him everywhere until finally we are reunited with Him in our svarupa, our eternal relationship with Him in the spiritual sky.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question:  How Demigods Can Be Mortals?


You have stated that the demigods are mortals like us. How can you confirm this when there is so much difference between the demigods and ourselves?  How can you say that they are in the same category as ordinary humans?

Thank you.

Answer: They Die When the Universe is Destroyed


The answer is very simple. When the powerful demon Hiranyakasipu petitioned the chief demigod Lord Brahma for the boon of immortality Brahmaji told him, "Since I am not immortal, I cannot give you immortality." The demigods are powerful controllers of this material universe. That's a fact. But at the end of Brahma's life this material universe is destroyed along with all of its inhabitants, including Lord Brahma and the thirty three million demigods. Therefore Lord Krishna states in the Bhagavad-gita that demigod worship is for those who have lost their intelligence. If we worship the demigods, we go to the demigods and remain mortal. If we would like to become immortal, we can do that by worshipping Lord Krishna, the source of eternal existence.
