On the Way to Krsna - Steering Toward the Supreme

In relation to the Supreme Lord, all beings are to be respected.  Therefore a devotee refers to others as "Prabhu," meaning "My dear sir, my dear lord." Submissiveness is a qualification for a devotee of the Lord.  Devotees are kind and obedient, and they have all good qualifications.  In conclusion, if one become a devotee of the Lord, all good qualifications will automatically develop.  By nature, the living entity is perfect, but due to the contamination of lust, he becomes vicious.  That which is part and parcel of gold is also gold, and whatever is part and parcel of the Complete Perfect is also perfect.

 

om purnam adah purnam idam

purnat purnam udacyate

purnasya purnam adaya

purnam evavasisyate

 

"The Personality of Godhead is perfect and complete.  Because He is completely perfect, all emanations from Him, such as this phenomenal world, are perfectly equipped as a complete whole.  Whatever is producedof the complete whole is also complete in itself.  Because He is the complete whole, even though so many complete units emanate from Him, He remains the complete balance." (Sri Isopanisad, Invocation)

 

    Due to the contamination of matter, the perfect living entity falls down, but his process of Ksna consciousness will again make him perfect.  Through it, he can become truly happy, and after leaving the material body, enter into the kingdom where there is eternal life, bliss and full knowledge.
