KRSNA Consciousness Brings Relief From All Material Distress

In the Bhagavad-Gita,the Lord says that one hsould surrender unto Him,giving up all other engagements.The Lord also gives His word there that He will protect surrendered souls from the reactions of all sinful activities.Srila Rupa gosvami says that the distress from sinful activities are due to both to the sins themselves and to sins committed in our past lives.Generally,one commits sinful activities due to ignorance.But ignorance is no excuse for evading the reaction-distress.Sinful activities are of two kinds:those which are mature and those which are not mature.the sinful activities for which we are suffering at the present moment are called mature.The many sinful activities stored within us for which we have not yet suffered are considered immature.For example,a man may have committed criminal acts but not yet been arrested for them.Now,as soon as he detected,arrest is awaiting him.Similarly,for some of our sinful activities we are awaiting distress in the future,and for others,which are mature,we are suffering at the present moment.

In this way there is a chain of sinful activities and their concomitant distress,and the conditioned soul is suffering life after life due to these sins.He is suffering in the present life the results of sinful activities from his past life,and he is meanwhile creating further sufferings for his future life.Mature sinful activities are exhibited if one is suffering from some chronic disease,if one is suffering from some leagal implication,if one is born in a low and degrades family,or if one is uneducated or very ugly.

To be contd..

Jai Sai Ram!
