Rupa Goswami gives an example of ..
A man watching a drama ..
The man became so absorbed in the drama that when a leading character died , the man also died ..
So absorption in Radha Krishna nitya lila ( eternal pastimes ) is a process of shifting identity and becoming absorbed in a spiritual one , strongly identifying with all that’s going on in the eternal lilas of Radha Krishna , or any of Krishnas associates in the Vrndavana lila pastimes.

The PhD Darwinian academics are like smarta Brahmanas.
The smarta Brahmanas think only they have access to truth , but Krishna says differently, by bhakti everything is understood by intelligence given by Krishna.
Similarly the scientific academics think unless one has PhD. a layman cannot enter into the understandings of physics biology or chemistry, but its the interpretations of nature and consciousness of the atheistic scientific community that are easily understood by a layman, as well as the speculative conclusions science presents to the world, as fact based science. And a little knowledge of science and its methodology brings home the smarta scientists actual lack of any real conclusive knowledge of mind ,consciousness or matter , the more they search ,the more the complexity increases, such are the workings of intelligent design.

Divinity has arranged for everyone and every living being a responsive universe .
Mold your mind and intelligence as you will , make your choices of how to act or who to listen to ,after all everyone is accepting an authority.
To facilitate this God has given us a world of many possibilities ,
Ethereal, quantum, and gross planes of existence are intimately connected to consciousness, according to the Vedas , modern science and the Vedic sciences has many parallels.
One is encouraged in the Vedas to choose wisely , the universal machine will respond , even before death the living beings are already building their next destinations , Dharma is a living thing ,the breathing of Visnu., technologies operating from an ethereal plane that are automated and work in tandem with the smallest particles of an atomic realm that are expressed through compounds and elements that we see and experience is the reality.
Take the advice of Guru sadhu sastra
And ultimately the advice of Ragganatha das that he gives in his Manasa siksa writings.
He nicely delineates the whole solution to our compelled wandering in matter.

IS THE EXPANDING UNIVERSE LINKED TO EXPANDING KARMA AND DESIRES OF UNLIMITED JIVAS ..?
Prabhupada…”when consciousness enters matter .
And the time element
The universe expands ” …..3rd canto Bhagavatam.
SO one can think Krishna is creating facilities for unlimited jivas and unlimited fruitive actions , as an explanation for the expansion.
So consciousness reasons for an expanding universe not solely physical laws,
Before the big bang theory, science thought this universe to be in a steady state .eternally
But that was an atheistic speculation.
Now it’s proven by the doppler effect ….ie the light waves and the colour shifts it creates, that indeed , the universe is expanding, and that indicates a beginning and end to an expansion,
The theistic veiw .

The uncertainty principle.
Edward Teller a disciple of Niels Bohr and Edward Schrodinger….and Heisenberg . Tells the ultimate story of Quantum physics…the uncertainty principle…..calculated by Heisenberg …. If you ask about the past there is always causality…..cause and effect .. If you ask about the future there are endless possibilities. And uncertainties. Albert Einstein did not like this uncertainty principle he said God does not throw dice.
But our freedom is the uncertainty in life ,no one knows exactly how we will use it ,its God given ,and to a degree in real terms Divinity places Himself in uncertainty, when He grants it .
Prabhupada says … You are not dead stone .. You have Free will and Krishna has given that free will . How you act and how you choose is entirely up to you ….. Although within the laws of nature ,we are entangled in previous actions and determinism,.but not entirely. This uncertainty principle is the cause of pleasure and rasa for Krishna in our liberated state . And a cause of our liberation and bondage in or from matter.

On Earth, the amino acids characteristic of life are all “left-handed” in shape, and cannot be exchanged for their right-handed counterpart , Meanwhile, all sugars characteristic of life on Earth are “right-handed.” The opposite hands for both amino acids and sugars exist in the universe, but they just aren’t utilized by any known biological life form. (Some bacteria can actually convert right-handed amino acids into the left-handed version, but they can’t use the right-handed ones as is.) In other words, both sugars and amino acids on Earth are homochiral: one-handed.
What does Krishna say .
BHAGAVAD GITA 9.10.
This material world, which is one of my energies, is working under My direction and is producing all moving and nonmoving beings ,Under my laws, this manifestation is created and annihilated again and again.

Leaders in Political affairs, scientific affairs,financial affairs and many in religious affairs have a poor fund of knowledge and are generally not fit to lead
It is hardly difficult to find endless examples of corruption and self seeking objectives in those in public life .It is repeatedly said in the Vedas ,unless the top most Vaisnava Brahminical classes are giving wise council, society will be thrown into turmoil. Its obvious society has reached that point and is probably reaching a tipping point, young people face a gloom future ,but nevertheless in desperate times ,there is always hope ,the Srimad Bhagavatam, when properly understood by pure persons and applied in time place and circumstances is the beacon of light that will grow ever brighter , thanks to being transplanted to the west by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
