Science Of Self Realization: Regain Our Lost Spiritual Identity

The human body is an excellent vehicle by which we can reach eternal life. It is a rare and very important boat for crossing over the ocean of nescience which is material existence. On this boat there is the service of an expert boatman, the spiritual master. By divine grace, the boat plies the water in a favorable wind. With all these auspicious factors, who would not take the opportunity to cross over the ocean of nescience? If one neglects this good chance, it should be known that he is simply committing suicide.

There is certainly a great deal of comfort in the first-class coach of a train, but if the train does not move toward its destination, what is the benefit of an air-conditioned compartment? Contemporary civilization is much too concerned with making the material body comfortable. No one has information of the real destination of life, which is to go back to Godhead. We must not just remain seated in a comfortable compartment; we should see whether or not our vehicle is moving toward its real destination. There is no ultimate benefit in making the material body comfortable at the expense of forgetting the prime necessity of life, which is to regain our lost spiritual identity. The boat of human life is constructed in such a way that it must move toward a spiritual destination. Unfortunately this body is anchored to mundane consciousness by five strong chains, which are: (1) attachment to the material body due to ignorance of spiritual facts, (2) attachment to kinsmen due to bodily relations, (3) attachment to the land of birth and to material possessions such as house, furniture, estates, property, business papers, etc., (4) attachment to material science, which always remains mysterious for want of spiritual light, and (5) attachment to religious forms and holy rituals without knowing the Personality of Godhead or His devotees, who make them holy. These attachments, which anchor the boat of the human body, are explained in detail in the Fifteenth Chapter of the Bhagavad-gita. There they are compared to a deeply rooted banyan tree which is ever increasing its hold on the earth. It is very difficult to uproot such a strong banyan tree, but the Lord recommends the following process: “The real form of this tree cannot be perceived in this world. No one can understand where it ends, where it begins, or where its foundation is. But with determination one must cut down this tree with the weapon of detachment. So doing, one must seek that place from which, having once gone, one never returns, and there surrender to that Supreme Personality of Godhead from whom everything has begun and in whom everything is abiding since time immemorial.” (Bg. 15.3-4).

    pamho agtACBSP. without any doubt the human form of life it’s the best vehicle to cross the poisoned ocean of ignorance by the special guidance of HDG ACSBP, without its help any nice or rotten vehicle get crashed and mashed, that’s the material suicide but also spiritual because we don’t get the last destination by keeping doing spiritual and material suicide. This scientific vehicle can give us the chance to go back home used to say SRILA PRABHUPADA because all the rest get forgotten we are here to regain this lost spiritual identity someone get it before someone later but whoever follow SRILA PRABHUPADA with full faith will get there it’s just a question of time engaged constantly in the superior energy of SRI KRSNA.

    Of course it can happen sometimes that the vehicle go out of the right track because we are trying to go beyond the duskrhotta bad karma of our previous lives and also beyond the sukrhotta good karma by letting SRI SRI GURU GAURANGA to lord over everything through HIS different energies. SRILA PRABHUPADA is still a special living entity the nasi chosed by god but HE used to say no one is special here therefore to think i’m a good person also have to go, the utility is the principle that’s don’t look in the face nobody as the factor time is doing as the primary principle in everything by being the first material element to be manifested we need to look only for our business with SRILA PRABHUPADA, people don’t know what is the next destination vehicle planet etc…but SRILA PRABHUPADA knows,the spiritual suicide is very clear visible through the guru hoaxers while the material one through the kanistha adhikari sadhakas if they don’t do more spiritual progress because it’s not a easy task at all to go back to SRI KRSNA manusyanam sahasresu even brahmanas borned in sri radha kunda within a very famous dynasty got problems to go back home by following the regulative principles of the spiritual life in this Age.

    Therefore the only way is to follow a pure devotee as SRILA PRABHUPADA HE got the spiritual power to drive all these rotten bodies machines in the last Destination, and everyone got the power to get HIS full mercy by keeping meditating and associating with HIM all life long, just a fool lets this good chance to go by serving the betrayers of our beloved acharya. Now we got the opportunity to get the nectar that we been always looking in for through the best vehicle among the 8.400.000 species of life but a lot of mudhas do not care because we are strangers by dealing with the material energy i mean we don’t know how is working because it doesn’t belong to us therefore ordinary people become strange by keeping dealing with the three gunas of the material nature. Of course it’s a illusory journey and they know it also therefore they do not care because they already lost everything by forgetting to regain their lost spiritual identities agtSP ys haribol
