Hare Krishna, question from Harihar Iyer Prabhu, everyone is attracted to forms, why are we attracted to forms like this, and why are we not attracted to Krishna’s form? Answer, we are attracted to forms, because all forms reflect the all attractive form of Krishna, so we are souls whose original natural attraction is towards Krishna, but because we are presently disconnected from Krishna, so they, so that attraction is now misdirected towards other things, so Krishna describes that everything in this world, everything beautiful manifests a spark of his splendor, so what all opulent beautiful and glorious creations spring from but a spark of my splendor, Krishna says, so yes, we are attracted to the forms of this world because they manifest a spark of Krishna’s all attractiveness, but because the beauty of these forms is temporary, so our attraction ends up, ends up as frustration, because those forms no longer remain attractive, now, why are we presently not attracted to Krishna’s form, because of impurities, just as iron filings are naturally attracted to magnet, but if the iron is rusted, then that attraction doesn’t manifest, similarly, because of the anarthas of lust, anger, greed, envy, pride and illusion, our natural attraction to Krishna gets covered and as we become purified, we will find that our attraction to Krishna will increase more and more till we eventually become spontaneously, eternally, ecstatically attracted to Krishna. Thank you.
