Beyond Suffering

Krsna Guru teaches me to understand the importance of my human birth.

The human experience is one of suffering and that suffering is connected to the body itself. Even while in the womb there is suffering and once the child is expelled from the womb (even when born healthy), it is quickly and keenly aware of the worldly sufferings of hunger and environment.

While many people believe the soul reincarnates and has birth after birth, after birth, not all of those people understand that rebirth as a human is rare. It is an opportunity to progress and learn the esoteric lessons to reach the Self.

When one only sees himself as the body, he may experience incalculable sufferings between birth and death. But, liberation from worldly suffering can begin with just a spark, whereby Destiny gives you an inkling that there must be more to this life.

Conditioning is passed from generation to generation starting at birth. The conditioning tells the child that he is only the child of his parents. The veiling begins with the status of the given name as the world limits the child to being just this or that. He learns that family is most important and he is ingrained with his parent’s hopes, fears, beliefs and desires.

This conditioning binds the spirit soul to body and covers the Truth. As the child grows, he is swept around by the pairs of opposites. He can expect great joyful highs from his world as well as agonizing lows. He will love a select few, become indifferent to some and even hate others.

For most beings, Destiny is formed of past karma. Lower births, both animate and inanimate, may be necessary to expiate much of the past karma reposed from many lives and still limit the addition of much future karma. Human birth, although fraught with the danger of falling down, is the superior birth to reach liberation. Liberation on earth is not a place, it is knowledge. The body, mind and intellect are key to gaining this knowledge, but they alone are not enough and it is only with the grace of a true Spiritual Master (Knower of Truth) that Self knowledge can be unveiled.

The profound teachings of my Guruji remove the ignorance born of generational conditioning. He removes the past and future karma. Cushioned by my dear Guruji, the body continues to work off the karma of which it was born. The knowledge unveiled by my Guru’s Grace is “That” (God, Brahman, Supreme Divine Consciousness, Father in Heaven) which runs this body remains untouched in this world.

Jai Shri Krsna Guru!
