a lame or handicapped person is much better than the person who has been given good health becoz at least they dont make worst use of their time in sense gratification.lord krishna says "one who does good deeds and yet is away from the worldly pleasures is my true devotee and is very dear to me."we have to accept one thing lord krishna or his maya.many people choose maya becoz they can enjoy their life to the fullest.widout accepting the truth tht life may not give a second chance.so accept krishna consciousness and talk,walk n think always abt krishna...............hare krishna!

Yes, people chose be in this world to be happy and enjoy but fact is one can not enjoy and be happy in this painful world. Material pleasures simply act as painkillers. Painkillers are never the cure to diseases, they simply stop the pain temporarily but the disease remains. Similarly material pleasures may take away the dryness and emptiness of life but can not bring cure to miseries of the world or happiness and peace. True happiness comes when we can connect with Krishna through devotional service. Bhagavad-gītā 2.66 Krishna says:
nāsti buddhir ayuktasya
na cāyuktasya bhāvanā
na cābhāvayatah śāntir
aśāntasya kutah sukham
"One who is not connected with the Supreme [in Krsna consciousness] can have neither transcendental intelligence nor a steady mind, without which there is no possibility of peace. And how can there be any happiness without peace?"

Your servant.
Sometimes Krsna gives the soul what it wants even if it is not good for that soul. The child may want to put his hand in the fire, but the kind parent does not allow him to do so. But if the child insists and will not take instruction that the fire will burn, sometimes the parent will allow the child to find out the truth the hard way. Krsna is fulfiling the desires of all living entities since time immemorial so it behooves us to desire well.
Yes Prabhuji, the souls very nature is to desire. But due to its association with matter, the desires all become contaminated by material modes of nature and the soul forgets the eternal and original desire to serve Krishna.
Hari Bol.
