Scriptures say that unless and untill we reunite with Krishna, we will continue to suffer. Krishna too says in Bhagavad Gita we belong to him. \u201cThe living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal fragmental parts.\u201d \u00a0Bhagavad Gita 15.07<\/mark><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Krishna\u2019s primary expansions are the visnu \u2013 tattva<\/em> and we, the living entities, are his secondary expansions.<\/strong> Being his fragmental part & parcel we also possess qualities akin to that of the Lord. We are qualitatively equal to him but quantitatively we are infinitesimal to the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For e.g. Lord can create huge planets and we too can create something small \u2013 like an airplane. He can create oceans; we too can dig well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, God is supremely independent and since we belong to him, come from him, so we also have been given some independence.<\/strong>  We have little freedom to choose in which direction we what to take our life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How we utilize our independence depends on us. We can use it to be with Krishna, or we can misuse it to turn away from the Lord. When we prudently use our intelligence then we enjoy the privilege of living happily with the Lord<\/strong> in the spiritual world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the spiritual world we can see him, touch him, talk to him, play with him. In fact we blissfully spend each and every moment with Krishna there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when we misuse our intelligence, we lose the right to stay in the spiritual world just like a person loses the right to stay with the law-abiding citizens when he becomes a nuisance to society.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s reunite with Krishna<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the material world away from Krishna, we try hard to make things better so that we can enjoy ourselves. But in spite of our efforts, we hardly get any joy. And if somehow, we achieve something to find pleasure, soon we find it to be temporary.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the prison, a prisoner may try to adjust his surroundings to lead a better life, but he will hardly achieve any success because that is not his real home. He can experience happiness only when he comes out of the prison and reunites with his family and friends.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, if we are serious about our own welfare then the foremost thing for us is to realize that this is not our original home. We are in alien land. We need to endeavor to get out of here and return back to our original home which is the spiritual world.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once we reach there then all our misery will vanish just as the darkness vanishes once the sun rises.  Since we are part and parcel of Krishna, we will be happy only when we reunite with him. <\/strong>Once we are with Krishna then we will need nothing, we will be completely satisfied and supremely blissful. The only goal of our life should be to live in such a way that our going back to godhead is 100% guaranteed.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The independence which has been given to us is a valuable gift, let us not misuse it. Instead let us use it to go to the spiritual world and reunite with Krishna.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
