Tiresome long days.... I may be moving to a new module in my office which is again gonna take up more time for learning and would be more challenging..adhybautika , adding to it is this my dry eyes problem.Finding it very difficult to stare the system for a longer time but that is part of my job. Couldn't help (adhyatmika).
While I was thinking on how this material world is full of sufferings, my mom called to tell me, how my uncle who was hale and healthy suddenly became sick with kidney failure . Well ,nothing is Permanent also
So I went back and read couple of Bhagavad gita slokas about material world
duhkhalayam asasvatam (BG 8:15) ,anityam asukham´ lokam (BG 9:33)
mam upetya punar janma
duhkhalayam asasvatam
napnuvanti mahatmanah
sam´siddhim´ paramam´ gatah
After attaining Me, the great souls, who are yogīs in devotion, never return to this temporary world, which is full of miseries, because they have attained the highest perfection.
kim´ punar brahmanah punya
bhakta rajarsayas tatha
anityam asukham´ lokam
imam´ prapya bhajasva mam
How much more this is so of the righteous brāhmaṇas, the devotees and the saintly kings. Therefore, having come to this temporary, miserable world, engage in loving service unto Me.
Srila Prabhupada explains this is a place -- you cannot avoid these miseries. They are meant for that. Unless the miseries are there, you cannot come to the Krsna consciousness. That is an impetus and help to elevate you to Krsna consciousness. You cannot make a solution of the misery of your life by artificial intoxication. That is not possible. You have to make the solution by this Krsna consciousness. If you always remain in Krsna consciousness, then gradually you'll develop and you will be able to leave or quit your, this material body in Krsna consciousness, so that immediately you'll be transferred to the planet where Krsna is. That is the process. So mam upetya. And if you can attain that situation, that is the perfection.
Let all the miseries be a stepping stone towards my perfection.Off to bed now hope my eyes are better tomorrow.
