Those who never forget this live eternally in the spiritual sky and are known as nitya-siddhas, eternally liberated souls. Those who forget this fall down from the spiritual world into the material where they futilely try to enjoy a life apart from devotion to Krishna. When they become frustrated with their suffering condition and take advantage of the mercy of guru and Krishna, they resume their former life of devotion and return to their original position in the spiritual sky. That everyone is constitutionally a devotee of Krishna is confirmed as follows in the Sri Caitanya Caritamrita: nitya-siddha kṛṣṇa-prema 'sÄdhya' kabhu nayaÅ›ravaṇÄdi-Å›uddha-citte karaye udaya " Pure love for Krishna is eternally established in the hearts of the living entities. It is not something to be gained from another source. When the heart is purified by hearing and chanting, this love naturally awakens. " --CC Madhya 22.107So now may all the conditioned souls throughout all the material universes become re-established in their original pure Krishna consciousness. Sankarshan Das Adhikari-- At the present moment our minds are polluted with the dirt accumulated over millions and millions of lifetimes of sense gratification. Even though our original pure nature is eternal, full of knowledge, and full of bliss, due to our mental contamination we are presently suffering in the realm of temporality, ignorance, and misery. By the purificatory process of chanting the holy names of God we can revive our original, pure nature and thus relish the sweetest happiness at every minute.
