The greatest bluff is to believe you are the material body

The greatest bluff.

The real "bluff" in this material creation is thinking we are these temporary material bodies we are all actually trapped in.

A further "bluff" is believing the purpose of life is finding comfort and satisfaction with only these temporary material vessels, thinking there in no difference between the soul and the material body, therefore foolishly believing we are the material body.

No, this is not only incorrect, it is complete nonsense!!

TO start with, the material body is NOT us, it is an outward perishable vessel, dress or container for the soul to get around in while in the material creation.

Materialists "imagine" there is no heaven above or hell below us and only want to build a Kingdom of God WITHOUT God.

They ignore the fact that this material creation is always in a state of decay and decline and in need of constant maintenance and repair.

We are NOT suppose to explore this mundane material creation, our purpose should be to get out of here as quick as we can.

In fact, we should NOT even be in this material creation in the first place, it was NEVER our home to begin with.

This is why Srila Prabhupada constantly criticized the Apollo missions and saying they were a complete wast of time and money.

Such material endevours will NEVER give us the answers to what we all really want to know, and that is why is it we experience birth, disease, old age and death.

Therefore the REAL goal of life is to go back home, back to Godhead (Goloka-Vrindavana) and get out of this decaying place of suffering and repeated birth and death.

And NOT foolishly try to enjoy this perishable material creation or explore it.

Better to spend one's time exploring how to go beyond this material creation and enter the eternal Spiritual Worlds of Vaikuntha and Goloka Vrindavana.

Do everything you can to remember Krishna, it does not matter how fallen you are or if in front of others you never feel worthy of their friendship or respect, or if so many even hate you for all your past foolishness.

In the end none of that matters because the fact is you are NOT the material body or vessel that others can only see.

We must become firm in our understanding that each of us are different from the material vessel we are in and covered by.

No one in this material universe knows your real identity and who you really are, all they see is the outer "costume" (material body) you are wearing.

The only important action we must contantly do is somehow, someway always remember Krishna the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes so we never EVER forget Him, no matter what others think or say about us due to past struggles.

There is no such thing in Krishna conscious philosophy as "eternal damnation" or "eternal hellfire" that Christians believe their God does.

Frankly if true, then their God Jehovah is a cruel uncaring nasty God that should be rejected because forgivess MUST always be there regardless of what one has done and NOT "eternal damnation".

No punishment should be forever and the fact is it isn't according to Srimad Bhagavatam.

Therefore it is best people around the world reject barbaric nonsense Christianity and surrender to the true loving God Lord Sri Krishna.

And in time, including all the most fallen souls, will be revealed all they need to know about who they really are (which is their eternal svarupa or our ONE's eternal Spiritual bodily identity).

Soon these temporary material bodies we are in and its material dream we are presently experiencing, will be over. NOTHING is forever in the material World meaning all karma good and bad, is also temporary.

Only Vaikuntha and Goloka-Vrndavana are the REAL permanent reality that will never fade way.

The best way to remember Krishna is to get involved in street Sankirtan and chant good clear rounds.
