who we are

Krishna and Radha, the primeval Lord, are forever in a wondrous magical way intertwining and collaborating to create multiple energies, elements, phenomena, systems of consciousness, objects of perception, invisible realms, time, space, conditionings, and qualities.

I am a spark of consciousness originating from Krishna. I failed the test of selfless service and so am here in a material body, and my eternal punishment is to be happy with sense enjoyment under the laws of material nature with no recollection of my original nature so that I can be okay with everything the way it is.

The coronavirus is just one example of the many ways in which recalcitrant jivas are punished. But no one thinks that this is a punishment for wanting sense gratification. Everyone thinks this is just plain bad luck or blames some framed enemy.

If the false ego hears that desiring sense gratification is the cause of all problems, it rebels immediately. And it even destroys the messenger.

The false ego, and mind, whatever it is, I'm sure it is a combination of Krishna and Radha in some interesting way which produces this fascinating phenomenon, in any case, this false ego is a major major factor in keeping bound souls in illusion. First, they're proud. Falsely. Second, they're thinking they know what to do and are not afraid of rebirth. Third, they have no clue that they're completely controlled. Four, they think they're the doer.
