Guest guest Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Humble Pranams at the Divine lotus feet Of beloved Bhagawan, continued................... By Sage Narada's mystic power ,the living entity re-entered the dead body.The child who had been dead sat up and beagan to speak,not with the intelligence of a young boy,but with the full knowledge of a liberated soul. "According to the results of my matrial activities,I,the living being,transmigrate from one body to another,sometimes going to the species of the Demigods,sometimes to the species of lower animals,sometimes incarnating among VEGETABLES,and appearing sometimes in the human species.In which birth were these two people my Father and mother?No one is actually my Father and Mother.I had MILLIONS of so called parents.How Can I accept these two people as my FATHER and MOTHER?" The Vedas teach that the eternal living being enters a body made of material elements.Here WE find that such a living being entered a body prodeuced by King Chitraketu and his wife.Actually,however,he was not their son. The living entity is the eternal son of Supreme personality of Godhead,but because he wants to enjoy material world,God gives him a chance to enter vrious bodies.Yet the pure living being has no true relationship with the material body he gets from his father and mother.Therefore,the soul who had taken the body of Chitrakethu's son flatly denied that the King and queen were his parents. The soul continued,"In this material world,which is like a swiftly flowng river,all people become friends,relatives,and enemies in due cuourse of time.They also act neuteally and in many other relationships.But despite these various transactions,no one is permanently related". Chitrakethu was lamenting for his son,who was now dead,but he could have considered the situation other wise."The living entity," he could have thought,"was my enemy in my last life,and now,having appeared as my son,he is permaturely leaving just to give me pain and agony."why should the King not consider his dead sonhis former enemy and instead of lamenting be jubiliant because of an enemy's death? The lving being in the body of Chitrakethu's child said,"just as gold and other commodities are continually transferred from one place to another through buying and selling,so the living entity,as a result of his KARMA,wanders throughout th universe,being injected into various bodies in different species of life through the semen of one father after another. As explained in the BHAGAVAD GITA,it is not by any faher or mother that the livingentity is given birth.The living entity's true identity is completely seperate from the so-called father and mother.By the laws of nature,the soul is forced to enter the semen of a father and be injected into the womb of a mother.He can not directly control the knd of father he will get;this is automatically determined by his activities in previous lives. The laws of KARMA force him to go of to different fathers and mothers,just like commodity that is bought and sold. The living entity sometimes takes shelter of an animal father and mother and sometimes a human father and mother.Sometimes he accepts a father and mother among the birds,and sometimes he accepts a Demi-God Father and Mother in the heavenly planets. As the soul transmigrates through different bodies,everyone in everyform of life -be it human,animal,tree,or demigod-gets a father and mother.This is not very difficult.The real difficulty is to obtaina SPIRITUAL Father -a bonafide spiritual master. Therefore ,the duty of a human being is to search out such a spiritual master,for under his guidance one can become free from the cycle of re-incarnation and return to his original home in the spiritual world. to be continued......................................
