3 MODES OF NATURE

1. INTRODUCTION - 4
    SATTVA, RAJAS, TAMAS GUNA

We all living entities in different forms of body numbering 8,400,000 forms beginning from the aquatics up to the best advanced form of human life, there is a regular evolution by the laws of nature. The real fact is that we living entities although part and parcel of God, on account of our own disobedience have come down to this material world under different circumstances. We have different types of material dresses to fulfill the tendency for sense gratification, and this by the laws of nature, by association with the 3 modes of material nature. We are transmigrating through different forms of life.

  Helplessly pulled by the strings of material modes the living entity dances accordingly

 
So this human form of life is given to us as an opportunity to understand our position because in the human form of life we have more developed consciousness than the lower forms of life like the aquatics, insects, plants, birds, beasts and the civilized and uncivilized human beings.

So the point is that a human being must know the aim of life is to go back to Home, back to Godhead. The real aim of life is to go back to Home, back to Godhead.

NATURE IS NOT INDEPENDENT

01.   INTRODUCTION – 03 –

‘MAYADAKSHENA PRAKRITI’

Are things around us in nature happening on their own? Or has it been programmed to work apparently on its own? If u think deeply and logically the answer is v v obvious

The sun rises at a predictable time, sets at a predictable time. So does the moon. The weather can be predicted, the seasons are predictable. The movement of earth around the sun is fixed roughly at a constant of about 365 days and it itself rotates around its own axis once in 24 hours. So how intelligent is is on our part to say that these things are happening on their own without control of an external superior intelligence?

Even a so called automatic machine requires an operator or atleast we can requires an intelligent person to have created it. The person is so intelligent that he has set it in such a way that the machine can apparently work independent of his further control. So look around you can extend this logic to things u r witnessing everyday  and u will agree that ‘Constancy means ‘controlled’’.

Nature can teach us a lot – Every insect, plant, animal, bird or for that matter a human is being controlled

From the Bhagavad-gita we can understand Krishna because He is explaining Himself. What is the difficulty to understand. There is somebody Superior in all aspects of material activities. The sun rises exactly on time, the seasons changing, fruits appearing, and flowers. There is no change in the law of nature. Don't you think that there is a Superior Being managing these things. Why not accept this proposal. It is no explanation that it is simply accident that all these things are going on so nicely. "Mayadhaksena prakrti suyatte sacara caram . . . This material world is working under my direction, O son of Kunti, and it is producing all moving and unmoving beings. By its rule this manifestation is created and annihilated again and again.'' [Bg. 9.10].- Srila Prabhupada - Letter to: Mr. Prem J. Batra  --  Vrindaban 2 April, 1976

Yet man is foolishly trying to be independent of the control of the Lord (which is not possible in the first place). This is the cause of his bewilderment and suffering in the material world. It is directly attributed to our desire to enjoy independent of the Lord and for being currently in a bodily concept of life.

By surrendering onto the Lord we re-enter our original consciousness, Krishna consciousness.
