The purpose for server hash punishment for unspeakable sins like child abuse and selfish exploitation, IS needed to teach those souls who choose such degradation a lesson.
All punishments in the material world are really meant for rehabilitation.
A devotee of Krishna understands such punishment is meant to eventually rehabilitate the fallen soul and NEVER attempt to annihilate him/her as some wrongly believe and teach in some religions.
Such wishful thinking by those with limited knowledge only see the material bodily vessel or container the soul is trapped in while in the material creation, is not possible anyway because the soul within is eternal, without a beginning or end nor can it ever be destroyed.
As Gita tells us, the jiva is beginningless and endless and cannot be destroyed when the material body is destroyed no matter what sinful adts one has performed.
Punishment and reward (karma) in the material creation are NOT forever! Which means the Christian concept of "Eternal Damnation" is total fantasy to a devotee of Krishna.
Any God that casts one to an "eternal hell fire" to burn in hell forever, is a cruel uncaring unloving God that should be rejected.
Of course the fallen jivas who have performed horrible deeds, does HAVE to pay dearly for their sins of abuse and exploitation that may take many, many births to atone.
The point is, punishment is meant to rehabilitate the offenders and not condemn him/her to an eternal hell.
Sometimes in server cases, the death penality is also needed as punishment and atonement however, that simply means the slate will be cleaned for the next birth because they paid their debt in this life with the "death penalty".
Or for how many births it takes to atone for what ever horrible sinful degrading acts one has done.
And yes, often it does take many, many, many births of suffering in broken material bodies.
But if one takes genuinely to Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu's Sankirtan Movement then they can save themselves from a lot of suffering over many horrible births in the material world.
And who knows what each of us have done over a million life times?
ReplyDeleteWe must never forget as devotees the purpose of being serverly punished for one's sins is meant to eventually rehabilitate the fallen soul, NOT to annihilate him which is not possible anyway.
As the Bhagavad Gita tells us, the jiva soul is beginningless and endless and CANNOT be destroyed in anyway when the gross material body decays and fades away no matter WHAT sinful acts are perform!!
Everyone, even Hitler, Stalin, Churchill, Bundy, Dharma get another chance.
The fact is, all of us in previous lives have done horrible nasty unspeakable things otherwise how else have we ended up in this degrading Kali-yuga?
Prabhupada once said "demons" in Satya yuga take birth in Kali-yuga as sinful lusty meat eaters (Conversation with devotees in room Febuary 1973 Sydney Australia)
Also the nonsense Christian concept of "Eternal Damnation" is total fantasy to a devotee of Krishna,
Everyone gets UNLIMITED CHANCES once their sins are paid for, they just try again!
There is no such thing as a permanent hell
The fallen jiva HAS to pay dearly for their sins of abuse, exploitation, arrogent pride and patronizing others.
The endeavour of seeking perfection will always continue no matter what one has done, this endevour may take a long, long time as Gita tells us, taking many, many births before one AGAIN becomes sinless, a pure devotee of Krishna and reaching their ORIGINAL possition from where they fell from.
So in this life, if one takes genuinely to Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu's Sankirtan Movement, then even the biggest offender CAN be saved!!
President Trumps recent tweet is right, introduce the death penalty for all child molestors and abusers, such actions are best for our society and will protect children and be a strong deterrent to those who sexually abuse and mistreat children.
ReplyDeleteAnd the death penalty is best for all molesters (pedophiles) too as it gives them a new start in the future when they are again eventually awarded the very rare human form of life, only again given to them AFTER their server punishment ends in the lower species of life for their sinful exploitive acts.
Sadly our nonsense Australian and New Zealand Governments do not have the death penalty for any serious offense, even the white supremacist who just murdered 50 worshipers in Christchurch yesterday will only get life in jail.
Our Kali-yuga Governments have no idea life, unlike the material bodily container we are in, is eternal.
