Krishna's Devotee Dares the Impossible
In his purport to Bhagavad-gita 2.56 Srila Prabhupada writes as follows:
"..a fully Krishna conscious person is not at all disturbed by the onslaughts of the threefold miseries, for he accepts all miseries as the mercy of the Lord, thinking himself only worthy of more trouble due to his past misdeeds; and he sees that his miseries, by the grace of the Lord, are minimized to the lowest. Similarly, when he is happy he gives credit to the Lord, thinking himself unworthy of the happiness; he realizes that it is due only to the Lord's grace that he is in such a comfortable condition and able to render better service to the Lord. And, for the service of the Lord, he is always daring and active and is not influenced by attachment or aversion. Attachment means accepting things for one's own sense gratification, and detachment is the absence of such sensual attachment. But one fixed in Krishna consciousness has neither attachment nor detachment because his life is dedicated in the service of the Lord. Consequently he is not at all angry even when his attempts are unsuccessful. Success or no success, a Krishna conscious person is always steady in his determination."
Krishna's devotee dares the impossible. He wants to make the entire materialistic world population Krishna conscious. And by Krishna's grace by the devotee's sincere attempt so many miracles of spiritual awakening happen.
All we souls that are on this material plane, at one time were we ever in Vaikuntha? If so, how did we fall to this material plane?
And I would also like some suggestions how to make this my last incarnation so that I will be able to return to Krishna.

My Dear Dulal Candra,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Everyone here in this material world was originally a resident of the spiritual world. We fell into this material world due a misuse of our independence. We wanted to try to enjoy separately from the Lord.
Krishna says that if we fully surrender to Him, He will take us back to His eternal abode. He tells us that the way to do this is by accepting His representative, the bona fide spiritual master, as our guiding authority.
I hope this meets you in the best of health and in an ecstatic mood.
Your ever well-wisher,
Sankarshan Das Adhikari
