The Biodimensional Nature of Reality

The present world population, due to gross miseducation, is locked into a unidimensional view of reality when in fact reality is actually biodimensional. In other words instead of seeing the two dimensions, the material world and the spiritual world, they see only one dimension, the material world. Because everyone originates in the spiritual world, deep down within their heart they all desire the eternal, all-blissful, fully cognizant existence found in the spiritual world. Therefore this temporary, miserable, full of ignorance material world, which is just the opposite of their original, natural habitat can never satisfy them just as a fish can never be happy while out of the water. This is why everyone is more or less frustrated in this material existence.

Question: How Could a Human Being Devolve to Animal Birth?

I notice that in several of your answers you state that a person will come back as an animal if they do or do not do such-and-such. My question is: Obviously that person has been born a human in this life, so they have thus far evolved to the point of earning a human birth. Why, then, would they be born as an animal in the next, moving backwards spiritually?

Answer: Animalistic Consciousness Carries One to Animal Body

Thank you very much for inquiring. This is how one advances steadily on the path of self-realization, by putting forward their questions to the bona fide spiritual master for clarification. Regarding your question about one's next birth, Lord Krishna states as follows in the Bhagavad-gita:

yaṁ yaṁ vāpi smaran bhāvaṁ
tyajaty ante kalevaram
taṁ tam evaiti kaunteya
sadā tad-bhāva-bhāvitaḥ

"Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, O son of Kuntī, that state he will attain without fail."--Bhagavad-gita 8.6

According to the explanation of the great Vaisnava Acharyas this verse means that if one lives his life in an animalistic way, he will have animalistic thoughts at the time of death and thus attain an animal body in his next life.

Thus it is of the utmost importance to cultivate remembrance of God as a regular daily affair so that thoughts of God will naturally come to one's mind at the time of death and qualify him to enter the kingdom of God upon leaving behind his present material body.

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

Image
In his purport to Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 6, Text 24 Srila Prabhupada wonderfully teaches us the power of determinations by telling us the story of the little sparrow who conquered the ocean: "As for determination, one should follow the example of the sparrow who lost her eggs in the waves of the ocean. A sparrow laid her eggs on the shore of the ocean, but the big ocean carried away the eggs on its waves. The sparrow became very upset and asked the ocean to return her eggs. The ocean did not even consider her appeal. So the sparrow decided to dry up the ocean. She began to pick out the water in her small beak, and everyone laughed at her for her impossible determination. The news of her activity spread, and at last Garuda, the gigantic bird carrier of Lord Visnu, heard it. He became compassionate toward his small sister bird, and so he came to see the sparrow. Garuda was very pleased by the determination of the small sparrow, and he promised to help. Thus Garuda at once asked t...

Heart Melting Reunion with Amarendra and Gayatri

Image
On Friday 26 June 2015 I was blessed with the greatest good fortune of meeting with two of the dearest devotees of my entire life, His Grace Amarendra Prabhu and his good wife, Srimati Gayatri devi dasi. I am eternally indebted to these great souls for how much they helped me in my spiritual life when I was a young devotee. When I was young brahmacari monk in 1973 I joined with the two of them in Gainesville, Florida. We were a three person preaching center, and they were just like a mother and father to me. I had so many wonderful Krishna conscious experiences in their association that I can hardly begin to describe them here. But at least may it suffice for me to say for now that Gayatri taught me what it means to be a soft-hearted devotee of the Lord and she gave me my first cooking lesson, teaching me how to make cauliflower pakoras, and Amarendra taught me the art of how to preach strongly, intelligently, and coolly to defeat opposing arguments. Recently Gayatri almost died. But ...
