Our attention is usually diverted to the service of
something that is temporary. When our attention is changed into the service of
the Lord, it is called pure love.
This relation of the soul to the soul can be established in
relation with the Super soul. Seeing in the darkness is not seeing. But seeing
by the light of the sun means to see the sun and everything else that was
unseen in the darkness. That is the way to see the entire creation in relation
to the Super soul.
The knot of affection related to the body comes to an end
with the body. Relations of the soul, established in relation with the supreme
Soul, are eternal relations. The skin relation is the cause of bondage to birth
and death, but the relation of the soul is the cause of freedom.

A pure devotee of the Lord constantly sees the presence of
the Lord in everyone and everything because e of being related by loving service.
Such a pure devotee cannot forget the Lord for a moment.
A devotee attains pure love by constantly remembering the
Lord's personal feature along with His holy name. fame, activities, act. A
devotee's affection for everyone is natural in pure love and affection. Our
material bodies are all foreign dresses, and when we become free form our
identification with this body, we can attain our original form in relation with
God. \A spiritual form like the Lord's is attained by the devotee of the Lord
according to the original nature e of their soul. |This form, which is eternal,
full of knowledge and pleasure, is the original identity of the living being.
Even in this temporary world we are always in a position of
serving a superior. We are obliged to serve by force sometimes in different phase
of life. Even though we may be tired, we are still forced to serve without
being satisfied. There is no end to such service, and we become entangle in
such servitude without hop of release.
The release is only possible when we are promoted to our
eternal consciousness. Then we can know that our eternal position is to render service
to the Lord and not to the masters in this world created by our lust, anger,
desire, etc.
Society, friendship and love are all different phases of
lust. Home, country, family, society, wealth are all causes of bondage in this
temporary world, where the miseries of life are inevitable. By association with
pure devotees of God and by hearing from them, the taste for temporary enjoyment
reduces, and attraction for hearing about the activities of the Lord increases.
It is said that the Personality of Godhead is so
transcendentally attractive that even those who are self-satisfied and fee from
all bondage also become devotees of the Lord. He is so attractive that one
forgets the attractions of the temporary world
Those who are on the part of freedom are especially advised
to become free from temporary attraction. That is possible only by the
association of the devotees of the Lord, who understand everything in loving
relation to the Supreme Lord.
I am mine exist in this temporary world ending in death. The
real I & mine exist eternally in the spiritual world in your relationship with
God. Who you are, what is your eternal service to the Lord, how to enter the
spiritual world, all these questions are answered by the Lord Himself.
In particular, the song of God, Bhagavad-Gita, gives the
entire description of our entanglement in this world and the path back to God. If
one studies Bhagavad-Gita under the guidance of a pure devotee of God, the path
back to Him becomes easy to follow.
You have and eternal home, you have family, friends, society
and love that will not leave you at the time of death. |The way to rediscover
your real identity is to reconnect yourself with your original beloved Lord and
return to His loving service.
