Do you see the problem?

iT says this in SB Canto 1 chapter 3, Text 28:

purport:

The abode of Lord Kṛṣṇa above all spiritual planets is called Kṛṣṇaloka or Goloka Vṛndāvana, and the perfected living being by developing seventy-eight percent of the above attributes in fullness can enter the planet of Kṛṣṇaloka after leaving the present material body.

------------------

This is pretty scary purport. It essentailly mean we need to go through xx species of life.. become human, then a demi-god, the have the post of Brahma himself. in order to get qualified to even think about entering into Goloka. This ties in well with what Krishna says in the Gita: and this CC: madya 19.150

O great sage, out of many millions of materially liberated people who are free from ignorance, and out of many millions of siddhas who have nearly attained perfection, there is hardly one pure devotee of Nārāyaṇa. Only such a devotee is actually completely satisfied and peaceful

Then there is diff types of devotees like kanishta, madhya, uttama.

But then we have Brahma, Narada, Vyasa... brahma madha gaudiya.. Prabhupada, devotees...

Then we have Lord Bhudda coming Himself to save animal sacrifices (He came for this reason only)..

Then we have Nitai-Gauranga all merciful Gods giving pure love (but we have to still avoid the 10 offences), if it is so easy why are so many books written on the subject?

Why not just chant Gaura Mantra? and Hare Krishna mantra.. but then we have to avoid 10 offences (which in kali-yuga is impossible)

Do you see the problem?

Hare Krsna Prabhu

It appears you are trying to see your entire existence as a problem to solve. That is too much in one go!

Hear this prayer by Akrura :

" I can thus understand that when a person becomes eligible to be delivered from the path of repeated birth and death, it is only by Your causeless mercy that he further progresses to become attached to Your causeless devotional service. "

Prayers by Akrura

The Krsna book

As you can see that it all depends upon the ' causeless ' mercy of Krsna to be engaged in His ' causeless ' devotional service.

The human brain cannot comprehend that which is causeless mercy or causeless devotional service, so the best option is to offer one's head (surrender) to Krsna or His representative.

The realization can be had in an instant if it is to happen by the sweet will of Krsna or even a lifetime of Brahma isn't enough if we wish to forget Krsna.

Unless one is realized that Krsna is the ultimate goal one will remain distracted and some disturbance will always be there.

Naturally, when one recognizes one's constitutional position which is to be always submissive to Lord Krsna or His instructions, one can develop all of one's 78 percent qualities in full although I feel that is not a necessary qualification for entering Goloka. It all depends upon the ' causeless ' mercy of Krsna. (Mercy can only be received by one who doesn't challenge the authority of the one whose mercy is being sought.)

  I understand it is mercy just like Narada muni got mercy in his previoIus life as a gadhavara and got cursed to becomes a maids servant (was it really a cure or a benefiction) there by he served pure devotees as a small child merely eating the remnants of foodstuff they ate and became purfied. Time and time again I have read this and thought to mysef: I wish i could have this opportunity as well. I
  
  You talk about mercy but Brahma for 360,000 human years.did tapa before he saw lord vishnu. Brahma is the most best person in the universe. Sometimes God cannot find a ONE suitable person to find the post of Indra. So just imagine for a moment how difficult it is to become a devotee (actual of Krishna).
  
  I see people quote when Prabhupada says you can go back in this life. But they fail to mention everything he says in his books. Out of millions ONE person may become His (krishna devotee). It really should say billions in that context.
  
  Lets speculate in 1977 when Prabhupada was still present maybe at that time there was 5 pure devotess in the world out of billions. And then these devotees were nitya-siddha too. I do not think anyone can become pure in this world. There is no mention of Narada munis 2nd birth being on the earth planet. We being recrruited to goto other planets to go on with our Bhakti.
