Child bearing means the  pain of childbirth , but the pain and difficulties bring the sweetness of a loving child ..

The Vraja Gopies of Vrndavana create a festival of happiness in the heart of Krishna, who displays His unlimited pastimes . He exhibits these pastimes to demonstrate  the wonderful qualities  of ever increasing love and attraction in the highest  of spiritual  realms  , that of pure  spontaneous unmotivated  spiritual love , a competition of love . Perverted reflections and hints of pure love are seen here in this earthly plane , but we should learn of its origins and the  selfless beauty of Krishna’s spiritual planes along with the science and nature of spiritual senses . Krishna attracts  His devotees and those pious souls who have properly cultivated higher  consciousness and practice high culture  by His activities , the all attractive Krishna becomes especially attractive to such persons.

The  trancendental method Krishna employs when  wishing to attract the Vraja Gopies is to send personified messages through His flute music . Music takes on much greater dimensions  in the super subjective plane of a  varigated spiritual world.  Having heard the call of the personified Cupid ,  a call  that enters the depths of the Gopies hearts , they  abandoned their sobriety,  fear , shyness, and any  sense of discrimination, and immediately answered the call .

Complete sacrifice is required in the ultimate plane of love , and nothing short of that will suffice.

The  Catholic order of the  bride’s of Christ , or  Nuns living in convents , or monks living in monasteries,  perhaps could understand.

Krishna is our greatest friend , master , lover, and relative .  The sound of His flute is calling   everyone to service .  God is calling us all He is always enthusiastic and all inclusive , and  His Vraja Gopi friends all  dance  and  play music at the dead of night in a artistic festival beyond comprehension , with the sixty four excellences of trancendance on display ,  a trancendental festival that lasted millions of years , the  time dimensions are  adjusted by Krishna , from our 12 hours to the 12 hours of Lord Bramha,  lasting 4.5 billion years . As Einstein said,  time is relative,  its also interchangeable, it seems .

Currently the flute sound has been transformed into the   Nama Sankirtana , the chanting of Gods names , this chanting is calling us all to the service of Mahaprabhu and through Him the service of the residents of Vraja headed by Vrsabhanu Nandini Srimati Radharani . Anyone hearing or vibrating God’s names can transport themselves to the spiritual world.

Srila Prabhupada, wonderful Godbrother and great friend of Prabhupada once gave that comparison , H.H. Srila Sridhar Swami , he is a brilliant scholar and deep thinker .

On arrival ,to the dancing ground,  having responded to the call to come to the  forests of Vraja , Krishna tested the Gopies love and determination by externally appearing to ask them to return to their family lives and duties , He appeared to reject their services.

Srila Kavi karnapura in his Ananda Vrndavana Campa indicates to us all that Krishna sometimes appears very harsh . It’s very difficult to overcome all difficulties of a body and mind to properly develop unalloyed devotion toward Him . This harshness and the  external difficulties experienced by us are the workings of His external energies , they are like the outside of the coconut . Krishna is very very sweet by nature ,and any difficulties we maybe experiencing are gradually cracking the shell of our conditioned nature ,  and they serve a purpose in helping us aquire hearts of sweetness , like  the inside of the coconut .  Dedication and devotion towards His eternal service need cultivating, and that means at times difficulties,  but in difficulties by determination, we can aquire the characteristics of pure devotees that are  impeccable, to  say the least .  Through the service of such residents of Vrndavana ,  the pure devotees , who Krishna dearly loves  , we get the good fortune of assisting  as they serve the emaculate senses of Dhira Lalita Krishna,  or  His devotees in Mathura or Dwarka ..

So, austerities and hardships cause pain in many ways even in material life , but in Krishna, consciousness it opens up a spiritual heart and brings the sweetest of all hearts .

When free will is  granted, it comes with many possibilities.

In our own lives, our intelligence adapts and remains responsive to the many possibilities that may occur in our day . Every single creature has this ability in one way or another  to adapt and exhibit free will.

Now scale up  to the unlimited and ever expanding macro universal order , the Vedas indicate that although one God has simultaneously and inconceivably become one and different , ie , remaining the  absolute personality of Godhead without diminishing Himself  in any way but still expanding Himself  into the  many . Naturally, in doing so He has  left His traits of free will within all of His unlimited parts and parcels , you could say like father like son .

Being supremely intelligent , naturally He is responding to the many possibilities that come along with a free will . Take the example of governments all over the world , in creating facility for enjoying and living , but always alongside are systems of justice .  Along with free will comes a degree of governance , compliance, and there needs to be a  management of risks .  When free will becomes harmful to itself and others , steps are naturally taken within governmental systems and likewise in the universal machine of Divinity.

In the Vedas this governance,  compliance, and risk assessments, along with  management, are all described very nicely in logical and rational ways that are easy to understand.

The need for the material worlds are a direct result of free will , God does not directly cause this material world we do . The many possibilities that occur and that cause the universal affairs to automate will  facilitate perfect tailor-made arrangements that are  deliberately legislated.   It’s so perfect that, along with free will and determinism , comes more free will and determinism that is set in motion according to a long distant  past, and many of them ,  and our present activity  that will determine the next episode of our exhibition of the many possibilities of our free will.

Divinity invites us at any time to join His family, and break the cyclic cycle,  where the perfection of free will is exhibited based on nothing more than unmotivated pure love , increasing  in beauty  , described in the Vedas as the 64 excellences of artistic emotional rasa that are  always on  exhibition , unbounding perfections  in a  super subjective higher spiritual planes

Mind best friend or worse enemy

Bring the mind back ,? But where should it be ?

” From whatever and wherever the mind wanders due to its flickering and unsteady nature, one must certainly withdraw it and bring it back under the control of the Self. The nature of the mind is flickering and unsteady. But a self-realized yogi has to control the mind; the mind should not control him.: “

THE greatest of the psychologists should be consulted , the personality who originates the material mind , via His Annirudha expansion coming from  His Mahavishnu form , that’s Krishna.  If we really want to understand psychological processes and the processes of the  mind, it is many fold . In material nature , a mind spends a lot of its time in the duality of the material world , accepting and rejecting objects of the senses , based entirely on selfish actions , either directly selfish , or selfishness connected to family , friends  , community or country . A sane man follows ethical moral  behaviour and laws of the land or theological texts using intelligence , however, the mind is strong .

The minds activities allows for a  free reign its also influenced by previous lives , the free will wonders into the material energies and within  the  universal responsive universe wherein the many possibilities of the quantum atomic plane automate the next stage of our life . What the mind wants , takes time to manifest , it may take years or many lives to come to fruition,  , thus the  finer ethereal plane of a mind , reacts within a universal order  , which   manifest as  the classical plane that  we currently experience and the lives  we lead , all these  activities are the complexity of  karmic synchronicity influences , the astrological influence . It means things happen in our lives we did not bargain for , but our minds contemplation and our actions always  bring reactions,  good or   bad .  As such, the Supreme psychologist must be consulted so we can all understand ,  just exactly where our minds are best situated , thus, Krishna speaks Bhagavad Gita ,and gives the ultimate rundown on mind and psychology.

That’s a complex topic to understand. It also comes  with a range of  relative answers , according to a prescription that is appropriate to a particular state of a conscious being . The Supreme psychologist Krishna, in His conversation with Arjuna on the battlefield of Kuruksetra, touches upon all the ranges and methods of controlling and understanding the mind . The Vedas elaborate further on these topics of psychology.

Divinity brings wisdom and knowledge to everyone , that’s His kindness

One who knows that Krishna knows all bodies is in knowledge.

ksetra-jnam capi mam viddhi
sarva-ksetresu bharata
ksetra-ksetrajnayor jnanam
yat taj jnanam matam mama

TRANSLATION

O scion of Bharata, you should understand that I am also the knower in all bodies, and to understand this body and its owner is called knowledge. That is My opinion.

Can a microbe living in a petri dish conceptualise anything of the world outside his dish ,  the laboratory where the petri dish resides  , or the  town the laboratory is situated , everyone one would probably give the same resounding answer….NO !

Could a frog born in a well conceptualise the oceans , he has some experience of water after all , and theoretically   could compare his experiences of the water within his  well to the oceans of the world , he might say is the ocean 10 times or 100 times or 1000 times bigger than my well  ? , his well is his only reference point, after all , his own  limited experiences.

Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita wherever the mind wonders bring it back under the control of the self . A mind is limited , but not the consciousness that the mind covers.

In the Srimad Bhagavatam, there are passages describing great souls leaving their bodies at the time of death . How  before reaching Goloka which the Vedas says is the top most planet in a spiritual realm , they  pass through the many different planetary systems , lower , middle, and higher . Traversing  on they are  carried by the speed of their pure minds , past all the heavenly  abodes ,  past  Lord Bramha’s abode , past even all the  Vaikuntha planets , which are also parts of the spiritual realms .  The great souls watch all those  various planet’s  pass  them by before reaching  their destined abode , Goloka Vrndavana.

These passages given in the Bhagavatam give an understanding of the inconceivable  vastness of the material and spiritual realms . It is said that to understand  Krishna or Divinity  it is imperative to  accept that He possesses inconceivable energies . We are like a microbe of consciousness,  God is like the size of the Sun if we want to draw comparisons.

So intellectually using  rationale , we should accept that  just as the microbial creature in his petri dish could never have capacities to understand anything of the vastness of his laboratory  , or Dr Frogg PHD could never really understand the vastness of the oceans by using his well as a comparison . A sane person will  accept the  limited senses , limited mind , as well as  limited intelligence , will limit us greatly . Not to say we should not use our facilities to advance our understanding .

We should definitely do so , Oxford and Cambridge universities originated  for that purpose . We should understand how great our universe is. But the real greatness of Divinity is beyond our capacity to understand , although a fraction may be comprehended perhaps.   The Vedas says  His  very sweet personality ,  which He is only more than willing to share , along with His playful and artistic nature, can greatly expand, allowing the limited to begin to directly relate with the unlimited . Understanding Divinity is a decending process rather than an ascending one .

Tosca Puccini

Tosca Puccini 

Through the expressive power of music, opera conveys the deepest and most complex human emotions. It allows us to enter the psyche of characters and experience the drama on a gut level. Opera, with its far flung story lines and sung libretto, can’t be approached literally, as if you’re watching a movie or a play. It has to be experienced as metaphor…a story unfolding through music.

I lived for art 

I lived for art, I lived for love,
I never harmed a living soul!
With a discreet hand
I relieved all misfortunes I encountered.
Always with sincere faith
my prayer
rose to the holy tabernacles.
Always with sincere faith
I decorated the altars with flowers.
In this hour of grief,
why, why, Lord,
why do you reward me this way 
I donated jewels to the Madonna’s mantle,
and offered songs to the stars and heaven,
which thus shone with more beauty.
In this hour of grief,
why, why, Lord,
ah, why do you reward me this way .

In the Vedas , Srimad Bhagavatam, and Bhagavad Gita, unalloyed devotion is described .  Giving oneself fully to Divinity without any expectations,  and if any difficulties  are experienced , they are tolerated and one calculates,  in the words of Srila Sridhar Swami,  Prabhupada’s Godbrother, “I take the whole thing on my head , it is my doing and deserve ” 

Devotional service is not a business transaction. 

That  is the consciousness of the pure practitioners , we must strive for that , be patient and regularly apply ourselves , causeless mercy is just that causeless , same time Krishna says one who wants to know Me and sincerely takes shelter in the proccesses I outline , I will give the intelligence and inspiration to come to Me . Its a decending process , not an academic ascending one .

The universal and eternal history of misinformation.

The whole  of the material energies are built and programmed  around  misinformation , a conditioned consciousness is placed within an inferior energy,  inferior to its own true self , truth and beauty can be found only in its originally intended position. With the help of many agencies , the conditioned soul is eternally fooled  into thinking one thing is a truth and another an illusion or a lie , the very word Maya , a Vedic term , means that which is not .

It’s very easy to deceive oneself ,  what to speak of others who have more karmic influences , who have  the power to  deceive us . It is said in the Vedas that once one thing is known, everything can be known.  It is a fact that those  who can  familiarise  themselves with Bhagavad Gita , everything can become clear and clearer still for them . We  can calculate that in this world of self-centred illusion, everyone is out to establish themselves as the masters of all they survey in one way or another and that we truly have a toxic mix .

Deceit is nothing new , and although the internet can help quicken the pace,  it’s the same old game being played by operators who have the karmic powers  to weild undue influences over the unintelligent.

Many unintelligent people think they can catch out the intelligent ,  but its not that easy . Many influences are being played out, and sometimes the demons are favoured , sometimes the Divine . Srimad Bhagavatam shows universal histories within its many pages. The puranas are historic references within many universal cyclic cycles.

What to do ? The answer given in all theological texts is to come to the platform of knowledge and renunciation by acknowledgement of the Supreme  a

Autocrat,  and understand Him along with His associates and The Supreme Goddess of Fortune , who are all our greatest well wishers , by doing so one can clearly lift oneself out of the world of the cheaters and the cheated,  that will be good for us and good for all those we may be able to help so they may  also give up the illusion of unintelligent  enjoyment seeking of a fast deteriating situation in the association of unsavoury characters.

One could well ask what does all that mean and what possible relevance could all that  have on the topic of life , consciouseness, and the world and universe that surrounds us .

Well, very soon , I shall attempt to put all the pieces of the puzzle together. After all, a puzzle itself has a kind of coded system . You can’t put any piece of the puzzle anywhere , it just won’t work.

The original gain of function research paper is the Bhagavad Gita .

Actually , gain of function research is encouraged by Krishna in Bhagavad Gita , in reality its a  re-establishment of an original purpose that  bring ever increasing  gains of all descriptions , something that’s  deep within everyone’s psyche , in other words directly or indirectly  love and pleasure are everyone’s innermost need

Never mind the cleavage site of a virus in a Wuhan Laboratory.  Which incidentally , the news is coming down the line on the origins of covid . The inserted DNA within a cleavage site of a Viras , giving it a gain of function,  namely being easily able to enter the chest of a human and kill was engineered and cross contamination caused the leak , USA EU and UK and private pharmaceutical industries have been all involved in funding gain of function research.

Krishna encourages  us in His Bhagavad Gita to research a lost function  of our consciousness and to understand original spiritual senses  , we currently have mutated into a material plane and endlessly wonder following our  material minds and senses , causing the physical body to mutate into the 8,400000 species of life in our multidimensional universes,  higher lower and middle planetary systems.

This mutated process is under the complete supervision of Divinity and His agents , nothing is happening by chance , and a responsive universe follows  our desire and free will , along with automated responses.

So nothing by chance  , but rather by the Supreme desire of Krishna and His judiciary systems  . The complexities of the  entanglements in matter  of consciousness  are seemingly unfathomable to us ,  but this administrative process takes up by a miniscule fraction of Krishna’s consciousness.

So, as a matter of priority, find out about gain of function research of the consciousness and begin the journey for which you were meant to take , and stop artificial mutations of a material body and mind . Urgently pick up a copy of Bhagavad-Gita as it is , AC Bhaktivedanta Swami is most expert at explaining to Western audiences the secret of all secrets

‘Ananda moya bhyasat ‘

Every being is pleasure seeking , that is the nature of consciousness . Looking for happiness and pleasure is the constitution of the soul.

Everyone in material life is struggling hard with conditioned minds and conditioned senses trying to avoid difficulties and are always rooting for pleasure either personally , communally , or nationally. The problem is that even if some pleasurable situation comes about , it’s fleeting and generally leads to more frustration.

The theolgical and philosophical and I might add scientific problem is how can the consciousness be in a state where it can experience what it craves for , after all why should it or anyone settle for less , are  we to  really assume that we don’t deserve happiness and blissful lives ?  look at little children , they certainly don’t think like that , they are full of expectations , and that’s healthy good living.

Throughout the 8,400,000 species of life , all of whom are pleasure seeking , there is an evolutionary consciousness experience taking place , the human condition is in the middle range , higher insights and culture of consciousness takes place in middle planetary systems and further still in the higher planetary regions , further still are the beginnings of the spiritual planets ultimately leading to the very centre and perfection of blissful relationships in a variegated spiritual environment .

This evolutionary process is driven by an individuals search and desires as well as cultural development.

So never mind scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis , the Vedas has the handle on the realities of evolutionary theory , which is fact based theory,  tested and seen in nature , unlike a Darwinian hypothesis.

Srila Rupa Goswami gives the example of a man watching a play , the gentleman is so absorbed in the play that when the main hero dies , he also dies .

Yoga means a shift in identity .

Perhaps you may experience yourself being carried away by a beautiful piece of music on occasions , music is also a type of  yoga .

One  critically disabled person was asked how she coped with such a what appeared a limited life , she answered thst she had the freedoms of her inner life , and  in her inner self takes herself to innumerable places and carries out innumerable activities. It’s a fact our life is only partially led with a body and immediate senses , the mind and intelligence are providing what some will argue as the essence,  and the spiritual meditation takes that concept incalculably further .

Our immediate circumstances are very fast flowing. fleeting and limiting  experiences within a set time in our current bodies that are always changing . Everyone’s differing  because of differences of individual karmic synchronicities , nevertheless, no one should feel themselves limited in any way .

The instant communication spoken of in quantum physics , according to the Vedas, can be taken further , to an instant transportation and the devoted and well practiced yogi can  live simultaneously in fullness both within the material worlds and the  higher realms of spiritual dimensions and ultimately with Divinity along with his associates. These yogic aspects are described in the Vedas , in Bhagavad Gita krishna tells of who  the best of the Yogis .

The Darwinian mechanic scientific materialism is dismissed in the Bhagavad Gita,  wherein Krishna speaks of those in the lower speculative modes who consider themselves matter.
