Unfathomable Mine of Divine Nectar
Why be impoverished when there is a transcendental treasure trove of inconceivable opulence awaiting you right now? It's yours for the taking. We are giving you the treasure map and all the tools necessary for tapping into an unfathomable mine of divine nectar. We are teaching you how to be fully absorbed in the topmost perfectional stage of spiritual enlightenment 24 hours a day in all times, places, and circumstances. This state of consciousness is known by many different names, but it is most appropriately designated as "Krishna consciousness". This highest state of spiritual awakening is described as follows by Lord Sri Krishna in the Bhagavad-gita:
"In the stage of perfection called trance, or samadhi, one's mind is completely restrained from material mental activities by practice of yoga. This perfection is characterized by one's ability to see the self by the pure mind and to relish and rejoice in the self. In that joyous state, one is situated in boundless transcendental happiness, realized through transcendental senses. Established thus, one never departs from the truth, and upon gaining this he thinks there is no greater gain. Being situated in such a position, one is never shaken, even in the midst of greatest difficulty. This indeed is actual freedom from all miseries arising from material contact."
--Bhagavad-gita 6.20-23
If you will take up this treasure hunt with full earnestness, we gaurantee that you will strike gold, pure gold.

If someone else has a desire to be God this is tantamount to having a desire to overthrow the government. What happens to coup plotters? They end up in the prison as soon as they are detected. So this material world is the prison of God's existence. It is a place for all those persons who desired to take God's position of being the center of enjoyment.
Of course, this is the Lord's kindness upon us. We wanted to consider ourselves to be the center of enjoyment, and here is that place where everyone can think that like. This is why there is so much strife in this world. I am thinking that I am the center of enjoyment and you are thinking that you are the center of enjoyment. We may get along peacefully for some days, but then when my circle of enjoyment overlaps your circle of enjoyment, immediately there is fight. There is war. There is terrorism. There are so many problems.
So the real solution for all the problems of the world is that we have to stop considering ourselves to be the center of enjoyment and accept that only God is the center of enjoyment and live our lives accordingly. The mercy of the Lord is that he personally came to speak the Bhagavad-gita to teach us how to do this and He sends His representative, the bona fide spiritual master, to teach us how to properly understand and implement the teachings of the Bhagavad-gita.
Although we came here for the purpose of trying to be God, our ultimate purpose for coming here is to regain our original but now lost identity as Krishna's servants and returning to that place were we once belonged, that wondrous spiritual world.

Answers According to the Vedic Version
Question: Why Did We Come Here?...
Why did we come to this Mrityuloka in the first place? What was our Karma (past) which led us to this world? Kindly reply.Yours in the services of Lord Krishna,

Answer: To Regain Our Original Identity...
We have come to Mrityuloka, the world of death, because we wanted to eat the forbidden apple of being God, the center of all enjoyment. In God's kingdom only God is the center of enjoyment, no one else. No one else can be the center of enjoyment there except for Him.If someone else has a desire to be God this is tantamount to having a desire to overthrow the government. What happens to coup plotters? They end up in the prison as soon as they are detected. So this material world is the prison of God's existence. It is a place for all those persons who desired to take God's position of being the center of enjoyment.
