1. What are the different types of activities that one can perform?
- Materially Pious, Materially Impious and Transcendental activities
2. What is Materially Impious activity?
- Sinful activity, that which is against the scriptural injunction. This causes Material painful reactions at the present or future and one suffers immensely
3. How about Materially Pious activity?
- Material activities which are in the mode of goodness, characterized by social work with knowledge charity and compassion. This brings in materially happy reactions in the future.
4. So isnt that good?
-Yes it is. However to accept future good reactions, we have to accept another material body. This is the problem.
5. Do we have to accept material bodies even if we perform materially good work?
- Whether good activities or bad activities, material actions bring in material reactions. To accept these reactions in the form of pain or pleasure, we need to take another body
6. Why does one take repeated birth and death?
- One who fails an exam, without studying his books and sharpening the necessary skills, needs to take it again and again.
Similarly one who does not understand the aim of our life, needs to come back again and again to do the needful
Similarly one who does not understand the aim of our life, needs to come back again and again to do the needful
7. What is the aim of life?
- We are fishes and Sri Krsna is our blue water. We are out of that water and hence are suffering. Our Aim of life is to come in contact with our source of joy, the blue waters of Sri Krsna
8. How can we approach Sri Krsna?
- Sri Krsna is all pure and if we become all pure, we can return to our eternal home(His eternal residence!)
9. Well I thought, being spirit souls, we are always pure!
- Yes we are always pure spirit souls. But unfortunately at the moment, due to being in this world, we are covered with impure contaminated consciousness which needs to be cleansed.
10. How can we cleanse our consciousness namely mind intelligence Ego and senses?
- Mind(Man) can be purified by 'Man'tra meditation(Japa and Kirtana)
- Intelligence can be purified by reading and hearing Shastras
- Ego can be purified by co-operation and humble service to Vaishnavas
- Senses can be purified by honoring Sri Krsna Prasād!
