Thought Of The Day

Guru means one who can deliver me from this duhkhalayam asasvatam [Bg. 8.15]. Maya... We are in the duhkhalayam asasvatam [Bg. 8.15], but under the influence of maya we are thinking we are living very very happily, or we not trying to solve the question. No. This kind of solution will not help you, because you have to die. Whatever you make solution, Krsna says, mrtyuh sarva-haras caham [Bg. 10.34]. If you don't agree to surrender to Krsna, "All right, make your arrangement. But at the time of death I shall come and take away everything whatever you have got." Mrtyuh sarva-haras caham. Then your bank balance, your skyscraper building, your country, your family, your good name -- everything will be taken away. And you have to accept another body, tatha dehantara-praptir. Now whatever assessment we're given in this life, everything will be taken away, and we'll be forced to accept one body which you cannot deny.
