Hare Krishna Prabhuji…
Prabhuji this question is very profound and the answer is so simple yet so true…
Prabhuji if you can explain the answer in bit more detail and in more depth, then it will help us to understand and grasp the true meaning.
So prubhuji , i request you to explain it in more detail if you please…
Prabhuji, i want elaboration on the following points if you please:-
1)As you have explained that we are eternal souls but i want to know what is the aim , purpose or destination of our existence.
2)We are trapped in this material world and have started identifying ourselves with this body and have forgotten the eternal truth but how can we keep ourselves away from this temptation throughout our lives.
Hare Krsna !!
Imagine a father who loves his 3-4 th year child very much.If the child is habitual to eat sweets,even if his father knows that the habit may be the cause to serious disease but due to his love he will allow his child to eat sweets and hence child has to suffer.The same situation is between krsna and us also.Krsna who is the supreme father and we are the his parts and parcel.He has given us free will to choose both eternal and material happiness, but at the same time he also says that this material world is the cause of all the miseries.
