My dear, , from Vrindavan, India on 27 August 1967 in a letter to his disciple Jananivas Srila Prabhupada gave the most wonderful, enlightening instructions. Here is what he wrote:
"The spirit soul is certainly eternal and changeless; and the fall is superficial, just like the relation between father and son cannot be broken ever. Now we are simply in a phase of forgetfulness, and this forgetfulness is called Maya. There is a nice example in the waning of the moon. To us the moon appears to be changing, but in fact the moon is always the same. So as eternal
servitors of Krishna -- our constitutional position -- we fall down when we try to become the enjoyer, imitating Krishna. That is our downfall. Krishna is the Supreme Enjoyer, and we are constitutionally to be enjoyed by Him, and when we revive this constitutional position where is no more Maya. Krishna.consciousness gives us the opportunity of rendering service to Krishna, and this service attitude only can replace us on our original position. Please therefore, continue to chant faithfully, and
Krishna will reveal Himself, by His causeless mercy, and you will know everything automatically."
So our perfect relationship with Krishna is eternally existing even though we cannot now perceive it since we are covered by Maya, the illusory material energy.
