Once the founder of ISKCON AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada said , everything is happening by the supream desire of Krishna. This consciousness is Krishna consciousness.

But he also said that one who does wrong or suffers wrong is wrong.  He gave an illustration of a man going to sleep at night , within His heart God says lock up your windows and doors they may be theives , and to the theif God says within his heart , in a particular house , here is an excellent opportunity to steal .

The complexities of action and reaction are unfathomable. How can  justice and injustices be simultaneously working together ?  and how it could be that it would be and lead to a perfect system of fair and just  legislation.

Such  philosophical , religious, ethical, and rational enquiries should be contemplated and thought about carefully.

The Vedas have the answers to any questions that are posed , and it behoves everyone of us to understand them well , and not be an unbalanced and unthinking follower or theological cultures .

For instance, when Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita, one who sees action in inaction and inaction in action, how is it to be understood.

One should know that Divinity wants the best of persons to represent him , and he also wants such persons views represent in any government administration . Their governance and compliance systems must be uncontaminated with lust ,anger greed, and bias caused by identifying with a particular race or social position .

We are not ultimately British,  American, European,  Latin American or African,  we are all living beings in different bodies under different circumstances and we all need help , guidance and cooperation.

Fools vote in fools,  we need to educate ourselves how to identify a good leader and what their qualities are. We must seek help from the real intelligensia who are properly situated in knowledge and show symptoms of wisdom , which will obviously include sympathy,  someone who can not tolerate the suffering of anyone or any creature

Perhaps one could say the European Union is a hodge podge of liberalism .
Generally overly liberal societies come about in response to overly suppressed ones .
The Vedic cultures neither suppress or encourage one to blindly follow the mind and senses in a journey of life that will ultimately lead to old age disease and death.
Vedic culture encourages us to explore and understand body , mind , matter , time, and consciousness in philisophical pursuits through various studies and different practices .
That leads to healthy minds , healthy bodies, tollerance, and understanding.
Obviously, the Vedas indicate, we all come from different places and different families as well as different circumstances, but even further than that , we come from our previous experiences of previous lives …..so its complicated and unlimitedly entangleing.
So instead of being so overly hung up about one life, one should see life as a continued journey with endless possibilities, and the very people who consider themselves liberal and free could well be some of the most entangled and chained persons there are , equally those who overly repress themselves in the name of religion or spend their time condemning others are chained and not free.. .

The Srimad Bhagavatam shows the importance of the philosophy of science ,  the Bhagavatam  itself summarises and gives accurate explanations either directly or indirectly to all known , and as yet unknown aspects of science still to be discovered by scientists . It is said in Vedic circles,  once one thing is known everything is known . The Vedas have sound as the origins of a universal order , we can think of this  as a desire or command or information exchanges and coded systems . Finer particals of matter that are  interacting  within an ethereal plane , a plane that covers a pure consciousness and places a conditioned consciousness into the material energies are indicated  in the Vedas . Also, for example ,  measurements of time are indicated , the time it takes for the sun to pass over atoms , or the 311 trillion years of the universal expiry date . Bhagavatam’s emphasis is centred upon mind , matter, and consciousness  as  the  full explanation of the world that surrounds us . The Bhagavatam is seen to corroborate what objective science  discovers  but it also culminates in a full explanation and understanding of  consciousness in its conditioned and liberated states  . Material energies at various points of its history within space time differ , both relatively in local galaxies and in the much greater picture of multidimensional universes .  Modern physicists , such as Lisa Randall,  the Harvard Prof. seems to often describe our cosmos much like the Bhagavatam describes it .
The information within  DNA along with the coding  procedures consisting of  a possible three billion combinations of letters within the 100 trillion cells in our bodies have origins in Divinity , and  His supreme intelligence  , after all , information means someone who is informing .This  coded information is on both sets of dna strands and possesses data compression. In other words, many expressions from one set of letters at different times will be enacted , causing various changes in the body . Karmic synchronicities are played out , the Vedas indicates . Richard Dawkins was once asked for an example of  a mutation bringing new positive information to the genomes,  meaning obvious transitions and macro evolution…..he could not give one example and after a long embarrassing pause asked for the camera to be switched off .
Mutations die out or are fixed automatically within the body building procedures. All this is common knowledge in scientific circles .
Information means intelligence. Just think of the combinations of 1 s and 0 s in your computer. All put there by intelligence design of a human , creating codes .Nyaya logical systems…if there is smoke, there is fire .

THE 3RD CANTO OF THE BHAGAVATAM CHAPTER 26 INCLUDES THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF MATERIAL NATURE .AND
THE MANY POSSIBILITIES OF QUANTUM PHYSICS IS PARALLELED AND EVEN MUCH  FURTHER STUDIES  BY LOOKING FOR ITS ORIGINS IN AN ETHEREAL PLANE .THE FINER ELEMENTS OF MATTER .

In the Bhagavad Gita, the material manifestation has been compared to a universal tree with its roots upwards and branches down .

A hint is given of a trees reflection situated besides a lake .

The leaves and branches serve different purposes, some elevating , as indicated in the Vedas , some entangleing . No one can work out when this tree first took root , no one knows how widely its branches spread ,  and no one knows if it will ever stop existing in future times .

Thus, the expression eternally conditioned soul is born .

But on the other hand, Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita says the following. 15.15

sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭo
mattaḥ smṛtir jñānam apohanaṁ ca
vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyo
vedānta-kṛd veda-vid eva cāham

I am seated in everyone’s heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge, and forgetfulness. By all the Vedas, I am to be known. Indeed, I am the compiler of Vedānta, and I am the knower of the Vedas.

To understand the Vedas and its extensive complexity is not so easy , but here Krishna says,  I will help you understand the Vedas , I will help you fix your mind on spiritual life,  and I will help you forget your attractions to the illusions of the temporary material senses , and remember your original spiritual nature .

Krishna says I am the knower of the Vedas and its compiler.

Thus, Divinity is a logical rational personality who communicates with those who want to communicate with Him .

 TRANSLATION

1) The dust of the lotus feet of pure devotees, enthusiastic devotional service, and service to the pure devotees of the highest order are the roots of the creeper of devotion.

This is a song written by Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur,  who encourages us to associate and serve the topmost devotees of the Lord , by doing so remarkable transformations in ones life takes place and all previous inauspiciousness is removed and replaced by the blessings of those who are the intimate servants of the Goddess of fortune.

Srila Jiva Goswami writes in his Bhakti Sandarbha. That the mercy of the topmost is the root cause of the destruction of those bad habits that the Bhakti practitioner could hardly give up through many of his own endeavours .

Krishna says in His Bhagavad Gita this material energy is very difficult to overcome but by my mercy it is easily overcome.

That mercy and strength is acquired by the mercy , blessings and well wishes of His devotees.

In this age of Kali , an age full of degradation.  Mahaprabhu has given us two important proccesses , which work hand in hand , to chant Gods names and to associate with pure devotees , they work interchangeably.

This is to be added to  over the next few days , from sound , comes  ether , from ether , fire, from fire  water , from water  earth .

We will discuss fire as electro magnetism and the energy forces within atoms .

We will discuss a c t g or the genome much like abcdefg of musical notes , and their unlimited possibilities and how they are both linked to perfect sound and form .

Srimad Bhagavatam 1.2.9

dharmasya hy āpavargyasya

nārtho ‘rthāyopakalpate

nārthasya dharmaikāntasya

kāmo lābhāya hi smṛtaḥ

TRANSLATION

All occupational engagements are certainly meant for ultimate liberation. They should never be performed for material gain. Furthermore, according to sages, one who is engaged in the ultimate occupational service should never use material gain to cultivate sense gratification.

The supream Personality of Godhead means just that He is supreme in all respects , He is simultaneously one a different from everything and every person or living being .

Every living being is relevant . Krishna has an  all-inclusive, loving nature. His supreme majesty deminishes, and His supreme sweetness is increasingly experienced when any person in any condition turns to Him .

He is all-inclusive, and in therapeutic ways, any occupation we may have can be linked in devotion  to Him and if we do so our understanding of Him increases. It is unfathomable that God who creates and maintains billions of universes and who is situated everywhere and no where , who is the greatest of the great and smallest of the small , would turn his attention to us in any meaningful way with love and effection,  but indeed He does .

In a small way, Albert Einstein said he treats a street sweeper in the same way a university Proffesors . This is the symptoms of a man in knowledge.

Everyone and everything are relevant,  Brahman vision of the Brahminical intelligensia is like that and is full of compassion and understanding.

The above verse indicates we should increase our love and devotion to Divinity and not get caught up in unnecessarily and overly satisfying senses that are never satisfied

http://www.thevedicspectator.com

In Vedic Culures, it’s well understood that you will only find objective truth amongst the Brahminical classes who are detached from external affairs and who are the well wishes of all living beings . From others, you will find subjective narratives or outright lies based on biased agendas and ideologies , tainted by selfish pursuits , based on hatred and envy .
Thus, the importance of understanding and identifying the pure intelligensia is key to finding harmony even within discord.
All is revealed by Lord Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita , which is the best of any studies that may have been carried out of persons’ motives . The Gita is a thorough psychological analysis of all the different classes of persons , who are conditioned by various modes of nature who have specific tendencies, all of which are self evident to a man who sees things as they are ..

In conditioned life with materially covered senses and a material body , your sensual mental and intellectual experiences only slightly touch your soul .
And relatively, according to ones karmic position and advancement in higher realms of deeper emotional connections , each person feels differently.
The soul is eternal. Full of knowledge of its own glory and full of bliss .
In ones original spiritual body with spiritual senses all emotional experiences directly touch and ignite the soul in blissful emotionally and spiritually surcharged bliss , that are felt as ever new and ever increasing pleasures , thus the full science of consciouseness should be understood . Consciousness is not as the Darwinians try to explain away as neurons firing in a computor like brain ..

Thus, the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita and the Srimad Bhagavatam are progressive steps revealing the full potential of consciousness experiences . In the association of pure devotees, such insights can be learned.

By serving the mission of those in blissful life one aquire blissful life .

The Srimad Bhagavatam reinforces the importance of recognizing bone fide theological texts from all religious cultures that  distinguish reality from illusion for the welfare of all beings . This recognition is based on consciousness development and not  on  the unnecessary extravagance of satisfying an  unbridled mind and senses . Every theological text wiil place emphasis on a regulated and disciplined life , humans are not sophisticated animals,  ultra liberalism is condemned . Unbridled senses leads to greater anxiety and entanglements , and so the Vedas    recognize  every theological text that  pursues and teaches  these controls and regulations  .  This guidance and its methods are explained through  karma yoga , jnana yoga ,   and astanga yoga . In other words, through  1, good works linked to recognised pious activities , 2 . Seeking knowledge  through science and understanding of mind , matter and consciousness , and  3 ,deep inward  religious or spiritual meditations  on God . The Bhagavatam seeks to  link  all  these processes to Bhakti or direct  devotion to Divinity . These occur  in progressive  forward steps that  benefit the individual . This truth of the Bhagavatam is specifically taught by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu, whose hidden appearance is predicted in the 11th canto of the Bhagavatam as the incarnation for  this age . He taught that  one should study the Bhagavatam and chant the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra , or the names of God ,  which bestow all the truths of the Vedas upon  persons who can  chant without offence  to others and in great humility . It is said in many theological texts sound can bind one or liberate one , if one speaks in anger and envy one is bound in ignorance , if one speaks in peace and knowledge and compassion one can become liberated . In this way, there are incalculable  benefits when one  vibrates  trancendental sound vibrations and they have effects on the inner workings of consciousness . When one has become purified by trancendental sound , one’s  community , one’s society , one’s country , and ultimately the universal order and its originator Divinity Himself are all  immensely pleased . By such purified actions speaking truth and vibrating Gods names in a sacrifice with the aim of serving His interests  and by  studying and hearing the trancendental sounds of the  Srimad Bhagavatam life becomes perfected . HIGHLIGHTED IN 1.1.2 THE CULTURE OF PURE DEVTION AS OPPOSED TO MIXED MOTIVATED OR CHEATING DECEITFUL SO CALLED DEVOTION .  RSABDEVA TAUGHT NOT TO BECOME TEACHER.
