A rich man arranges his wayward son to become independent of him by secretly arranging for a business opportunity to work out , but the business is a small fraction of the father’s vast unlimited global business.
Later, the father , seeing his son unsatisfied, arranges for the business to collapse , and the son has to return home . Reconciliation takes place between father and son, so the sons rightful inheritance is realised. Ultimately, the son comes to realise the love of his father and the the happy blissful anxiety free life that was rightfully his . Was the father cruel to bring about for his son such arrangements?
Birth , death , old age , and disease is a circumstance that is chosen by our independent consciousness and independent decisions , not God’s, but God knows of our full potential of life without conditioned nature, He repeatedly makes arrangements for us to understand our full potential.
The full potential of a spiritual body, a spiritual mind with senses, and unlimited spiritual emotions are delineated by Rupa Goswami in his Bhakti Rasamrita Sindu. The real connoisseurs of emotions are not artists or classical musicians, but those that dive deep into the unlimited ocean of transcendental bliss displaying full spiritual emotions of love . All you need is love , as the Beatles once sang , a hint perhaps of reality.
Rasa can only be displayed fully and unlimitedly, and in ever increasing quality with Krishna , He is therefore titled the supreme personality of Godhead. The person in our heart of hearts we are searching for , along with fellow associates
Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita, think of Me .
If you think of Krishna in a special way , Krishna equally thinks of you in a special way, His life is unlimited and your life will become unlimited free from the shackles of material nature and independent self seeking , based on material desires, real self seeking is based on desires to please Krishna and His intimate devotees.
The brides of Christ and Hildegard von Bingen knew much of this topic , its a universal truth, not limited to time or cultures .
