Conquer Your Mind and Attain Unlimited Bliss
The natural condition of the soul is to relish unlimited bliss at every minute. Misery is an artificial condition of the soul when it foolishly considers himself to be an independent enjoyer separate from Lord Sri Krishna. In this regard Srila Prabhupada explains as follows in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, Ninth Canto, Chapter 24, Text 58 as follows:
"Both the Lord and the living entity, being qualitatively spirit soul, have the tendency for peaceful enjoyment, but when the part of the Supreme Personality of Godhead unfortunately wants to enjoy independently, without Kṛṣṇa, he is put into the material world, where he begins his life as Brahmā and is gradually degraded to the status of an ant or a worm in stool. This is called manaḥ ṣaṣṭhānīndriyāṇi prakṛti-sthāni karṣati. There is a great struggle for existence because the living entity conditioned by material nature is under nature's full control (prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśaḥ [Bg. 3.27]). Because of his limited knowledge, however, the living entity thinks he is enjoying in this material world. Manaḥ ṣaṣṭhānīndriyāṇi prakṛti-sthāni karṣati. He is actually under the full control of material nature, but still he thinks himself independent (ahaṅkāra-vimūḍhātmā kartāham iti manyate)."
So we have to take advantage of the mercy of Sri Guru and Gauranga and get back to our original unlimitedly happy position in that most supremely wondrous Spiritual Sky.
Are you ready? Or do you want to linger here in cycle of birth and death seeking after the so-called enjoyment of material sense which is nothing misery in disguise.

My Dear Sabhyata,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Because Krishna's energy is also Krishna there is the principle of non-duality. But because Krishna's energy is simultaneously different from Krishna, we have the principle of duality. This is easy to understand if we consider the example of the sun and the sun rays.
When the morning sun rays enter our room we can say that the sun has arrived. But it is not that the sun planet has entered our room. If it had even come near our room we would have been burned to a crisp immediately.
I hope this meets you in the best of health.
