Fall or Not?
BY: BHAKTA DASA (ACBSP)
Mar 04, THAILAND (SUN) — This discussion, or argument about the jiva soul's falling from nitya leela or not is going on since, well, almost as long as I can remember. Personally, I do not believe I was ever a nitya siddha and left KRSNA to come here and engage in illicit sex. For me this is inconceivable, as it means somehow the power of sex is more potent and more attractive than the loving service of the Lord. It means very simply that Maya Shakti is present in the eternal world, which is the INTERNAL POTENCY of the LORD.
For me at least, it makes no sense.
I have, of course been reading all the tit for tats for the last 25 years or more. My old friend Kundali wrote an entire book on this issue too. Another books was published in retort.
Yet, what really is the point? Personally, I was present on so many walks and conversations when this topic arose. Every time, His Divine Grace would say that "You are sick. Just get better." I am under the grip of the external energy. I am being forced at every moment to eat, sleep, mate, defend, I am feeling fear, lamentation, etc, and my divine master has told me to get better by the process of bhakti yoga, but I am instead spending my time arguing for decades about something that I cannot actually understand, because I am still sick!
His Divine Grace once wrote, "The highest realization is to save yourself"... How many of you are liberated from all traces of the material modes of nature? How many of you experiences the symptoms of prema, or even bhava when you chant Krsna Nam?
If one of you has achieved sadhana siddha, or krpa siddha, or any kind of siddha, please let us all know and we will come and worship your divine feet.
Your servant,
