The Total and Fragmental Energies
Uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram--Austin,
Texas USA |
|
|
Who
can deny that there is a total energy and that each one
of us is a fragmental portion of that total energy?
Srila Prabhupada has revealed to us that the total
energy is Krishna or God. Hopefully those who try to
prove that everything is an illusion, will realize now
that it is their philosophy which is the illusion, not
the total and fragmental energies.

Question: How Can a Soul Leave Vaikuntha? |
|
Dear
Gurudeva,
You have told us that those souls in the spiritual world
who have the desire to become God will come to this
material world. If a soul is completely satisfied in the
company of God in Vaikuntha, the spiritual world, how
can he have an unsatisfied desire? If a perverted desire
can come to the soul even while he is the company of
God, what is the assurance that we will not fall back to
the material world after reaching the spiritual world,
Vaikuntha?

Answer: Misuse of Independence |
|
Because
the minute living being is qualitatively one with the
Lord, who is unlimitedly independent, the minute living
being naturally possesses a minute degree of
independence. If he misuses this independence, he comes
to this material world to try to enjoy separately from
the Lord, and thus suffers miserably in the cycle of
repeated birth and death. After doing so, if he is
indeed fortunate, he comes into contact with the bona
fide spiritual master, who enlightens him about his
original position in the spiritual world and how to
regain it. Then with the merciful blessings of the
spiritual master, he returns to his original position in
the spiritual world never to make the same mistake
again. The living being may misuse his minute
independence once, but after having learned his lesson,
he will not misuse his independence ever again.
