We All Know that We are Not These Bodies

Just consider how we normally intuitively think about and refer to our bodies. We never say, "I body" or "I am a body." We say instead, "I have a body." Just as we say, "my pants" we say, "my legs." We don't say "I legs." Even if our legs are amputated the "I" still remains intact. We speak of the "I" as something which is sitting inside the body.

Although everyone in the world has this natural intuitive understanding of the non-material spirit self, yet due to an unrelenting barrage of propaganda promoting material sense gratification as the platform of real happiness the entire world is being misled. Just like I remember as a boy hearing the non-stop propaganda "Things go better with Coca-cola" I was very much misled. I felt myself to be deprived of happiness because my parents would not purchase Coca-cola due to its containing caffeine.

This is why we need to regularly keep hearing the teachings of Lord Krishna to keep ourselves from being cheated by all of the false, lying propaganda which is going on everywhere.

Reply: Simultaneously God and Not God

The proper understanding is acintya-bhedabheda-tattva, the Absolute Truth is simultaneously, inconceivably one and different. In other words we are simultaneously different and non-different from God. Just as a drop of ocean water is simultaneously ocean and not ocean, we are simultaneously God and not God. The chemical composition of a drop of ocean water is exactly the same as the chemical composition of the entire ocean. Therefore that drop is ocean. But because we can't float a ship on it that drop of ocean water is not ocean. In the same way since God is eternal, full of knowledge, and bliss and we as spiritual beings are also eternal, full of knowledge and bliss qualitatively, we, the living beings, are qualitatively God. But because we cannot lift a mountain and hold it on our little finger for seven days, quantitatively we are not God.

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
