“The incarnation of Krishna proclaimed
the doctrine of divine love, as manifested by the cowherd
maids (Gopikas). Man is like an earthen pot filled with nectar.
His body may be made of clay, but his spirit is eternal. The
Divine has to be experienced through the body. Hence, human
birth should not be treated as something trivial. Human life
is worth living; it should be cherished as something precious.
But today, such a precious gift is being
treated as dirt. It is essential to realise the value of human
existence. What is the goal of human life? It is to go back
to the source from which we came. Our duty is to return to
our primordial source. You have come from the Atma. You have
to go back to the Atma. You have come from the Brahman (Supreme
Self). You have to merge in the Brahman. You have incarnated
as a spark of Brahman. You have to become the Brahman.
That
is the ideal. That is the goal. In between, there may be many
impediments. You should ignore them. Have unshakable faith.
That is true devotion”.
