Important Points from Todays Reading

1. If somehow we can get out of the material body, we can escape the miseries that are integral with it.
2. For the impersonalists, although they may enter the spiritual world, they cannot enter into any of the planets there. They remain outside, in the brahmajyoti.
3. living entity is composed of three qualities—eternality, knowledge, and bliss.
4. For one who merges impersonally into the existence of the Supreme, there is every chance of falling down again into the material world in order to acquire some association. This is the verdict of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Because of neglecting to serve the Supreme Lord in love and devotion.
5. But unless sex life is there in the spiritual world, it cannot be reflected here. Here it is simply a perverted reflection,
6. Those who are intelligent, however, are not concerned with the fourfold miseries of material life, but with elevation to the spiritual planets.
7. for one who is continuously remembering Kṛṣṇa, the Lord becomes tasyāhaṁ sulabhaḥ—easily purchased. Kṛṣṇa Himself says that He is easily purchased by this bhakti-yoga process.
8. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam also recommends that we give up this futile process to measure the Supreme.
9. we should become submissive and hear of the Supreme through the authoritative sources such as Bhagavad-gītā or through the lips of a realized soul.
10. Two ways of acquiring knowledge—the ascending process and the descending process. By the ascending process one is elevated by knowledge acquired by himself. The descending process, involves receiving knowledge from higher authorities.
11. If one works for Kṛṣṇa twenty-four hours a day, Kṛṣṇa cannot forget him. By becoming submissive, he can attract the attention of God.
12. As Guru Mahārāja Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī used to say, “Don’t try to see God. Is God to come and stand before us like a servant just because we want to see Him? That is not the submissive way. We have to oblige Him by our love and service.”
