Today's Thought: |

Continue Evolving to Superconsciousness
Uploaded from Sofia, Bulgaria |

 If
a job is 99% completed, why trash it? The intelligent
thing to do is to finish off the last 1%. Therefore,
after transmigrating in the cycle of birth and death
through 8,000,000 species of life, in which there are
gradually higher and higher levels of consciousness, to
reach the human form it makes sense to finish the
remaining 1% in the evolution of consciousness by
becoming super conscious or Krishna conscious. Why turn
around and go back down in the evolutionary cycle after
coming this far? After evolving through 8,000,000 forms
the intelligent person continues and finishes the
process of evolution by awakening his superconsciousness
or Krishna consciousness instead of devolving back down
to the animal and plant kingdoms.

Question: More Consciousness Is More Pain? |
|
|
Dear Gurudeva,
Many thanks for providing daily thoughts which are
helpful in getting some straight answers to practical
questions.
I was reading Srila Prabhupada’s purport to SB
3.21.7 (describing the situation of a child in its mother’s womb)
wherein a statement is made as below:
“Because his consciousness is not very developed, the
child can tolerate it, otherwise he would die."
I have a
clarification to be sought from you.
This indicates that as one develop more and more
consciousness he will feel more and more pain. Then what
is the use of developing consciousness? How is
Krishna consciousness related to the consciousness used
in this statement? Or does this mean, if one develops
Krishna consciousness, he feels his minute pain as well
as other’s pain?
Many thanks for providing insight into this subject.
With regards,
M. Raviraja

Answer: Beyond Pain and
Transcendental Pain |
|
|
As he grows, the child
within the womb is developing more and more bodily
consciousness. In other words he is becoming more and
more aware of the pains and pleasures of his body. This
is different from Krishna consciousness. Krishna
consciousness or superconsciousness is when the
consciousness develops even further and transcends the
limits of bodily consciousness by connecting with
Krishna or God.
On the plane of Krishna consciousness there may still be
awareness of the pains and pleasures of the body, but
the devotee is detached from them experiencing them as
something out there in the external energy. The only
pain that affects the heart of the fully Krishna
conscious devotee is the pain of seeing so many millions
and billions of people who have attained the human form
but are completely devoid of Krishna consciousness. This
breaks the heart of the realized devotee who therefore
dedicates his entire life for awakening the fallen,
conditioned souls of this world to their original
enlightened state of Krishna consciousness or
superconsciousness.
