So We Have To Find Out The Real Eternal Existense, That Is Krsna

[Gavin Swinden]

(So we have to find out the real existence, sanātana existence. That is Kṛṣṇa. We should not be bewildered by seeing this temporary manifestation)

 

"Sat means which is existing, and asad means which is no longer existing. So this material world is asat. It is simply for the time being an exhibition. So we have to find out the real existence, sanātana existence. That is Kṛṣṇa. We should not be bewildered by seeing this temporary manifestation.

 

Anything material is temporary. It has a date of creation. Everything, whatever you see here in the . . . Just like this microphone: it has got a date of creation, it will work for some time; and then it will go out of order, and we shall throw it in the street and again it will disappear in the earth, because everything has come out from the earth.

 

This is material world. But we must find out what is the reality. We should not be bewildered by the temporary things. Our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is to take the living entity from this temporary world to the spiritual world, or to the permanent world, where there is no more annihilation. It is eternal, nitya. Nityaḥ śāśvataḥ (BG 2.20)."
