Guest guest Posted November 5, 2001 Report Share Posted November 5, 2001 Q1. I read that we are here (material world) because we desired to to enjoy independent of KRSNA. But Who gives us the desire to enjoy independently of KRSNA and why ? It is confirmed in vedas that without KRSNA's will nothing will happen. But all the misery we are getting are due to our desires. What is the basic source of the desires ? Is it possible to desire or execute our desires without KRSNA's will ? A1. If Krsna controlled our minds as well as our desires, this would prove we are not individual souls, hence this would be Mayavadi (impersonnal). Krsna is so kind to give us this personal nature, so we can think independently, and we are in control of our will power, our biggest enemy is our mind, that thinks we can enjoy without Krsna, but the fact of the matter is WE CANNOT! "Achinta beda beda tattva" (one and different from Krsna), so as you probably know we are one in quality, but quantitivley different.Q2. Are we eternal entities in spiritual world but due to our desires came down here ? Or is it that KRSNA created us ? If he created us for what ? If not Where did we come from as spiritual entities ? I have read in Srila Prabhupada's book that we are the people who revolted against the rule of the GOD. Also KRSNA says in BG to Arjuna that "I and you were both there etenally, but I remember the past but you do not"...... Why are we created in the first place which leads us to all the problems. A2. Krsna desired to enjoy, Just as if we were a Rich millionare, why not play more golf and pay someone to work for me, wash my car, do my household chores etc.. WHy? SO I CAN ENJOY FURTHER.... and because I like to have friends spend time with people. So Krsna wanted to enjoy hence we were created, to serve Krsna. Q3. Regarding wars, if it is a desire of a person to kill another, how does KRSNA sanction it in the first place and then calculate his karma for his future sufferings ? A3. Karma is created from Krsna's mind, now this is very hard to understand, we cannot even understand the full extent of this material energy, let alone Krsna's mind... If we start to dwindle into this then it becomes like the story of the Chicken and the Egg, (which came first?). Best thing read the Bhagvad Gita everyday and all will be revealled when Krsna desires. I hope this helps Anand Prabhu, at the end of the day, Through Krsna we get our intellegence as well. your humble servant Manoj __________ "One may cleanse himself daily by taking bath in water, but if one takes a bath even once in the sacred Ganges water of Bhagavad Gita, for him the dirt of material life is altogether vanquished !"
