Realizing our Transcendental Nature!

Verse 1.5.27: First lesson in spirituality is: we are not this body, we are spirit soul. Because of our desires, we take up a gross body and a subtle body. Our gross body changes depending upon our desires, experiences and consciousness. But the subtle mind comprising mind, intelligence, false ego, is only one through all the life times. But the beauty is we are not the subtle body neither the gross body. These bodies are temporary, whereas we are eternal.

It is all like a dream. When we get up from the dream, are we really sad that somebody scolded us. When we wake to the reality, when we realize that we are not this body, we are spirit soul, we recognize that all this is a dream.

But to wake up, it is not easy. We have to do sadhana, we have to raise ourselves. Then we clearly see the demands of the mind, clearly see the agitations of the mind, then we can tell the mind to shut-up. For us to realize that we are transcendental, part and parcel of Krishna, we need to do good sadhana, our chanting should be really good.
