Mercy?

" How can this be mercy actually it is curse and sought of punishment for having such desires. If one has some desire meant that he want to fulfill that desire in human form not like tree or animal."

If someone has the desire to have lot of sex life or lot of sleep then first he has to suffer in hell for all his karmic activities and then he is put in that kind of body where he can enjoy the kind of pleasure he wanted to enjoy. Please know that sex pleasure is same whether enjoyed in human form or animal form. There is no difference except that animals do it in open and human beings to with some privacy. This is what I heard in a lecture and also this has been proven scientifically by our material scientists. So if the person wants to enjoy sex pleasure in human form,he will be allowed to do it in this human form but since he wants to do this only, he will be given a body where he can do this only. Human body is not for this activities, it is for self realization so Krsna out of HIS MERCY gives the person the liberty to enjoy unlimited sex pleasure in that particular body.I guess the same is the case with sleep.

". After many lifetimes we get human form, why again in the final stage we are put into so much illusion and thrown back into the cycle of birth and death. "

We are not put into such illusion by force, it is our own desire by which we go there. Krsna loves us so much that He accompanied us to this filthy material world. He loves us so much that to help us go back, He is guiding us back home , back to Godhead , still we are not listening. Then He allows us to fulfill the desire for sense enjoyment, so that we come back to our senses and realise that there is no pleasure. There was a king named pururva. He did extreme tapasya and pleased lord Visnu.You know what he asked? He asked for Urvasi.So Lord Visnu gave him urvasi but at the end of enjoying with her , he realized that it was simply a waste of time that he had done and then came to God realisation. So Krsna gives us chance to go back Home, back to Godhead but if we do not pay attention, He allows us to enjoy so that we get frustrated with sense enjoyment and realize that there is no pleasure in this world and turn on our own to Him. He is not forcing us, He is giving us the chance, since we don't listen, we go back to illusion.

" How can someone born in some place without any Krishna consiousness will be liberated? "

They have been born in such places because of their own extreme Karma, they must have done something very grievous in their previous lifetime due to which they are facing such reactions now. Of course , we should not think like this and try our best to help such people to take to Krsna consciousness and devotees do this, they are trying their best to help people as much as possible to take to KC. Once a person starts devotional service, it is the beginning of the end of his/her material life and it is only a matter of time that he will be liberated. It can be as simple as glorifying prasad. The person will go back to Godhead sooner or later. Krsna consciousness and devotional service of the person has started.

" I know ignorance is not an excuse, If human form is highest then why this knowledge is not available to everyone, does that mean people deprived of this knowledge will again fall into the cycle of birth and death?"

Krsna is trying to give this knowledge to everyone but people don't accept and since Krsna loves us soooooooooooo much, He does not force us. When devotees go to distribute Srila Prabhupada books, very few people take them but they are ready to spend thousands of rupees for their own sense gratification. When people are called for spiritual programs, they don't have time but they have time for sense gratification. So Krsna does not force, He lets them have their will. Also since they are rejecting it now, Krsna will give this chance to them again but then they are committing so many sinful activities also during the meantime so for that they have to incur reaction. When they get chance again, Krsna will give them chance but finally it is their own wish to choose or to not choose. He does not force. Also, if Krsna does not interfere in our free will to call us back, we will go on suffering in this material world. So He sends His devotees and so many other people to help us go back.

"Nobody wants miserable life in this material world, what is their fault and why most of the humans are deprived of this transcendental knowledge?"

Yes, it is true they don't want miserable life in this material world. But they want to enjoy and be happy separately from Krsna which is not possible. If you want, I can give the reason to that also, completely logical answer. Their fault is that they don't understand that they will never be happy without Krsna. Even if Krsna gives them opulence like Himself, they won't be happy. Hiranyakasipu was the ruler of the universe. But he was miserable all the time cuz his mind was not under control. He had all material enjoyments at his disposal but he was extremely miserable all the time, not a moment of peace just because one person did not accept him as god. Most humans are deprived because they don't want to have this knowledge, devotees so much of their precious time and energy in preaching but how many people come?. Also ,it will take time for some of them to take to this process. It is not easy for sure, it is simple but not easy. So we can try our best and pray for them who don't take to this process. We cannot force anyone, that will be offense to that person. One should try his/her best .

I hope my answers have answered your queries p. I sincerely beg forgiveness for any offenses or for hurting your feelings while answering.

Hare Krishna Aakash prabhuji. Dandavat Pranam. All glories To Srila Prabhupada

See there is a Cristian saying "As you sow so shall you reap" similarly what we desire if we deserve Krishna gives the facility to fulfill that person's desire, and it is his mercy ,One can say why ? Suppose a child is crying to his father for he wants to eat a Ice cream , His father not agreeing to buy him that Ice cream beacuse the child is suffering from sore throat, but the Child still crying , jumping, shouting that he needs that Ice cream, then father tried to make him understand but still the child is firm in his standpoint, the what can the father do ? He is merciful to his own child, so atlast after many disagreement he forced to brought the Ice cream to the child.

Similarly we living entities in the material world are like dis-obedient children of Krishna, Thats why we desire for all other things except Krishna. Now what can Krishna do? Krishna is not HITLER :) that he will lock up his child in a room and say No I will not fullfill your desire. He is supremely merciful thats why He fulfills the desire of his child, Now that the child don't know what is good for him so there is chance for the child to slip into the darkest region of suffering in order to fulfill his desire. So one may question here how then god be merciful in this situation? The answer is Krishna also keep checks in every desirable objects, Like if one eat milk more than needed , there is chance of stomach upset. So this reminds a man that to enjoy every desireable object he has to get pain also, and that is Krishna's mercy , that the person will sonn elevate to Knowledge in the process of fulfilling his desire.

Knowledge is available everywhere and for everyone, but if some one don't want to take then what can Krishna do. Krishna gave intelligence, free will etc to acquire knowledge still if people don't want to take what could he do? . Just like Doctor prescribes medicine for every patient visits him, and he told them that they should take this dose in a scheduled manner. But if the patient doen't give much importance to the doctor's note then what can the doctor do. The doctor can't push the medicine in his mouth forcefully.........else the police will catch him.....................ha ha ha

similarly, nice devotees, nice temples, Prabhupada's lectures, His books, Nice preaching all are available. But where people are interested ? I have seen devotees trying very hard to preach, But people calling him mad. Now who can deliver this kind of person, now we can't say that Krishna has to personally come and Preach this kind of mudhas (rascals) who are envious and think spirituality is some kind of superstition. Man has the free will to take knowledge and its Krishna's mercy that he has given the intelligence but they are Duskritina using their intelligence in wrong think. How will then they can get knowledge. So for them it is Krishna's mercy that Krishna push them to birth and death cycle thus one day after lots of suffering they will come in knowledge that "Vausdeva sarvam iti"

Hope it will help
