Clearing the misconceptions of I and Mine!

SB 2.9.3 (K Prji):

* SP has very clearly and elaborately explained the misconceptions of I and Mine, in this verse
* The fact that we are still hearing the philosophy of I and mine is due to the deep rooted misconception
* The true self is the pure spirit soul
* However, due to these misconceptions of I and Mine, all we are doing is eat, sleep, mate and defend, which the animals also do
 - so there is no difference between animals and humans
* But the purpose of human life is self-realization and to come back unto the shelter of the SPG
* SP establishes ISKCON primarily to bring people from this lower consciousness to the real consciousness of being an eternal servitor of the Lord and to be in the real consciousness of the true spirit soul
* The Supreme Lord comes always with us as super soul, in every life form, to help us to take the bhakti yoga process
* Eg: A man with 4 wife's, neglects the 4th wife always...he is dying now, the first 3 wifes do not agree to come with him, but 4th wife says she will accompany him
 - 1st wife is like body
 - 2nd wife is like name and fame
 - 3rd wife is relatives and friends
 - 4th wife is the Supersoul
* By hearing these good advises of the Supersoul, SP advises us to surrender unto the SPG, through bhaktiyoga 
- Process is: worshiping the Lord, glorifying the Lord, hearing the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam from the right sources (not from the professional man but from a person who is Bhāgavatam in life) and being always in the association of pure devotees
