Guest guest Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 http://www.purebhakti.com http://purekatha.ning.com THOSE WHO ARE less intelligent try to remain within this material world; they are elevated to some more advanced planets, and then again come back to this earthly planet. All of them, during the daytime of Brahma, can exhibit their activities within this material world; but during the nighttime they are annihilated. During daytime, they get their different kinds of body and material activities, and during nighttime they have no longer any form. They remain compact within the body of Vishnu, and again are manifested in the new daytime of Brahma. In this way, they are manifested and again annihilated. Ultimately, when Brahma's life is also finished, all is annihilated for millions upon millions of years; and again manifested when Brahma is born anew in another millennium. In this way, the living beings are captivated by the spell of the material world. But intelligent persons who take to Knshna consciousness utilize this human form of life fully in devotional service to the Lord, chanting Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare-and even in this life they transfer themselves to the planet of Krishna, and become eternally blissful and happy there.19: Again and again the day comes, and this host of beings is active; and again the night falls, O Partha, and this host is helplessly dissolved.20: There is another, eternal Nature, which is transcendental to this manifested and non-manifested matter. It is supreme and is never annihilated. When all in this world is annihilated, that part remains as it is.21: That supreme status is called unmanifested and infallible, and is the highest Destination. Going, no one ever returns from that, My Supreme Abode.PURPORTTHE SUPREME ABODE of the Personality of Godhead, Krishna, is described in The Brahma Samhita as the Chintamoni dham: That Abode of Lord Krishna, known as Goloka Vrindaban, is full of palaces made of touchstone. There the trees are called desire-trees, and the cows are called Surabhi. And the Lord is being served by hundreds and thousands of Goddesses of Fortune; He Whose Name is Govinda, the Primal Lord and the Cause of all causes. There the Lord plays His flute, His eyes like lotus petals, and the color of His Body like a beautiful cloud; on His Head a peacock feather. So attractive is He that He excels thousands of cupids. Lord Krishna gives only a little hint in The Gita about His Personal Abode, which is the supermost planet in the spiritual kingdom.22: This Supreme Personality of Godhead, than Whom no one is greater, is attainable by unalloyed devotion, O Arjuna. Although there in His abode, still He is all-pervading, and everything is fixed within Him.
