Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Hare Krishna, Lord Krishna says in Bhagavad-gita 5.26 : kama-krodha-vimuktanamyatinam yata-cetasamabhito brahma-nirvanamvartate viditatmanam (Those who are free from anger and all material desires, who are self-realized, self-disciplined and constantly endeavoring for perfection, are assured of liberation in the Supreme in the very near future.)In his purport to this verse Srila Prabhupada explains, "He does not feel the pangs of material miseries; this state of life is called brahma-nirvana, or the absence of material miseries due to being constantly immersed in the Supreme." What an amazing state of consciousness this is, to be completely separated from all of the miseries of material existence ! All one has to do to attain brahma-nirvana is to immerse oneself 24 hours daily in Krishna bhakti . No matter you are doing you must always remember Krishna. How is that possible? You must chant Hare Krishna Mahamantra and associate with the devotees of the Lord at every available opportunity. This is the insider's secret for quickly and easily attaining brahma-nirvana. Please Chant :Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare HareHare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare HareAnd Be Happy. Question – ( Why Does Krishna Give Us Sorrow? .) Why does Lord Krishna give us suffering and sorrow? Why do people think that only in sorrow one should remember the Lord? If we are the Lord's children, why should we ask for our necessities? Is it not His duty to look after us? Why has He made suffering and tension? Why does He not love His children equally? Answer- ( We Give Ourselves Sorrow ) Krishna does not give us sufferings and sorrow. We give these to ourselves when we proudly refuse his gifts of eternity, knowledge, and bliss. Someone who only remembers Sri Krishna in sorrow is a lover of happiness. Such a person is not a true devotee . Since we are Krishna's children we do not require to ask for our necessities. We should only inquire from Him how we can serve Him. He did not make the sufferings and tensions. That is our foolish mistake to create these things by performing bad-karma in our previous lives . He confirms in the Bhagavad-gita that He does in fact love all of His children equally: samo 'ham sarva-bhutesu ( I am equally disposed to all living entities.)
