Question: How Could Pure Soul Desire to Enjoy Separately?

I just want to ask that first when we were being created we were in spiritual world where there are no anarthas (bad qualities). We came to this material world because we wanted to enjoy separately from the Lord. But how the desire to enjoy separately came as there is no enviousness in the spiritual world?

Answer: Misuse of Independence

Because the ocean is salty, the drop of ocean of water is also salty. Thus we can understand that even though there is vast quantitative difference between a drop of ocean water and the entire ocean, they are still qualitatively one.

Similarly, the living being is tiny portion of the Supreme Almighty Personality of Godhead. Even though he is quantitatively vastly different, he is qualitatively one with the Lord. Thus because Krishna is supremely independent, the living beings, being part and parcel of Him also naturally possess the quality of independence. Since they have that independence there is always the possibility that they can misuse it. And if they misuse that independence by trying to become the Lord, they are given residence in this material world where they can be satisfied with the illusion they are God, or the center of all existence.

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
