The Soul's Fall... The Final Word

[Guest guest]

You see, this is the problem with us ISKCON neophytes. The inner meaning of

this letter is completely dependent on understanding the true definition of

such words and phrases as 'relationship... never lost", "independence is

always there", "relationship... with Krsna is eternal", "original

constitutional position", and "revival, nothing new".

 

If only Vijay was here with his Oxford English Dictionary, he could then

clearly explain to us what these words really mean. Then the math would really

add up, I am sure.

> "Regarding your questions concerning the spirit souls falling into Maya's

influence, it is not that those who have developed a passive relationship with

Krsna are more likely to fall into nescient activities. Usually anyone who has

developed his relationship with Krsna does not fall down in any circumstance,

but because the independence is always there, the soul may fall down from any

position or any relationship by misusing his independence. But his

relationship with Krsna is never lost, simply it is forgotten by the influence

of Maya, so it may be regained or revived by the process of hearing the Holy

Name of Krsna and then the devotee engages himself in the service of the Lord

which is his original or constitutional position. The relationship of the

living entity with Krsna is eternal as both Krsna and the living entity are

eternal; the process is one of revival only, nothing new."
