750703 Morning Walk - Srila Prabhupada Speaks a Nectar Drop in Denver
Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
"Devotee (3): I was just wondering, if the spirit soul being in the spiritual world is eternally liberated, how can he return? By desire?
Prabhupāda: Yes. If he desires, he can come again. That option is always there. Just like I remain in India; I come here. And if I like, I may not come. It is my option. Ambarīṣa: When we get to the spiritual sky, we'll always be able to remember how horrible it is down here, huh? We'll always be able to remember how terrible it is in the material world? Prabhupāda: It is terrible. Ambarīṣa: Yes, we will be able to remember that. Prabhupāda: That is intelligence. When one remembers that this world is duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam (BG 8.15), is a place of misery, then we can go. As long as we shall think, "Oh, it is very nice place," we'll have to remain here. Kṛṣṇa is so kind, "All right, remain in this very nice place." Brahmānanda: You gave the example yesterday of Lord Indra. When he took birth here as a hog, then he didn't want to leave. He thought it was nice. Prabhupāda: Yes, he also thought it is a very nice place." |
