10. Is This Pain Everywhere?

Here was the FB post that afternoon.

I'm not the only mother experiencing the pain of a child's issues. There are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, friends and relatives going through much worse every single day in this world.It is the most intense pain I've felt in my short life..

But only because Vraju comes from my body; he's related to me. What of the pain and suffering of countless others?

This type of pain is precisely why Narada Muni was morose and begging Krishna for a resolution to the problem of the conditioned souls. This unnecessary pain is why Srila Advaita Acarya called vehemently to Krishna. This is precisely why Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu came to freely give love and happiness to all of us. Why Lord Nityananda even took the beating of a clay-pot on His head!!Instead, we futilely seek sense gratification to balance it out... Idiots!!

But why? For what reason? We are sac-cid-ananda! Eternal, bliss and full of knowledge! We're meant to be dancing with Krishna with abandon in the forests of Vrindavan! 3/4ths of our counterparts, the liberated souls, are already there! Why have we been so dumb to choose this yucky place again and again and yet again!

After experiencing this, I think I could only be a fool if I didn't make the determination to dedicate every minute of my life to assisting Srila Prabhupada with spreading Sri Gauranga's message of love. It is urgent. It is necessary. It is needed everywhere, now.

We really shouldn't be unnecessarily suffering like this when there are just so many better options. And we really shouldn't watch and relax while others are suffering as well.
