The aim is to satisfy Visnu. We should always remember this fact, that we are eternally servant, part and parcel of Krsna, or Visnu. As I have given many times the example, there are so many parts of the body, but what are they meant for? To satisfy the belly. You are walking, you are catching, you are thinking, you are doing so many things -- what is the aim? The aim is satisfy the stomach. You cook, you earn hard money, and then you purchase goods and cook nicely and pWhy Does the Gita Encourage Violence?
Sometimes people ask, "The Gita tells Arjuna to not hesitate in killing his relatives because for the soul there is no death. Will this logic not become a license for all murderers to justify their crimes?"
In the Gita, Lord Krishna gives the knowledge of the soul, not to encourage unnecessary violence, but to guide all aspects of human behavior, including the enlightened application of violence. Violence in itself is not bad; it depends on who is involved an
Question: Why God Doesn't Force Us to Be Good? |

I firmly believe that God is everywhere and that without Him we cannot do anything. He will just show us two paths in life: good and bad and leave the choice to us.

We have often given the example of the good dog and the bad dog. Krishna tells in Bhagavad Gita that there is a divine nature and there is a demonic nature in all of us. The good dog is humility, charity, knowledge of the self, compassion, morality,generosity, etc. And the bad dog is greed, lust, envy, anger,arrogance, selfishness, etc. We have both dogs within us and they areboth howling for food. What is the food? The decision we make of whichvoice within the mind we are going to accommodate.
We often mistake temporary pleasures of this world to be love. This mistaking of temporary sensations of the world lies at the very core of human conditioning. These flickering sensations are like a mirage. A person who is in the desert is searching desperately for an oasis ofwater. And in that desperation, due tolonging and hopefulness, sometimes a mirage appears. It appears thatthat mirage can quench his/her thirst, but all he/she gets is amouthful of hot sand.
So what is real love? In order to

"Although God has no parents as He is eternal and is the father of everyone, yet He can agree to become someone's child - have a little baby form and a devotee to serve Him as a parent. As a parent, the parents think that they are bigger than the child.

So the parents a |
