Ignorance and Anxiety is the problem...

Verse 1.13.45 (Srinivas Acharya Prji):

* "Therefore give up your anxiety due to ignorance of the self. You are now thinking of how they, who are helpless poor creatures, will exist without you."
* In the chapter verses 44 and 45, we can striking similarity between what Krishna speaks in the BG 2nd Chapter and what Srila Narada muni is speaking here.
* Whether soul is material or spiritual, feelings of separation are due only to illusory affection and nothing more.
* Kaliyuga is full of anxieties and place of suffering. Whereas spiritual world is without any anxiety.
* In this verse, two key words
- ignorance and anxiety
* Anxiety that we are doing everything for our kin and kith, is mainly due to the bodily mode of life.
* We can see in this world that two beings working towards the same goal, will still have some conflicts
- eg: our two hands. friction starts, heat produced and all problems arise, sure in this material world.
* That's why SP says that we need to make the best of this bad bargain.
* Sri CM also says: bhavamahadavagni... fire of material existence. There will always be points of friction between two individuals as long as we are in this material world.
* As long as we are thinking that I am this body, the problems will always exist.
* In order to solve this: BG 2.45. "O Arjuna become free from the modes, be free from duality". Same message Krishna is giving as is what Naradamuni in this verse.
* Also in Isopanishad 7th shloka. Also in SB 3 Canto, Devahuti is telling to her son Kapila muni about these material anxieties.
* To solve these problems
- rise to the platform of spiritual identification
- accept spiritual master
- always chant the holy names of Sri Hari
- surrender to vaisnavas, guru and Sri Krishna!
* BG 18.66, surrender is very essential for one to get free from material anxieties. Sri CM also says: trnad api...harih. Same instructions!
* Without chanting the holy names, humility does not develop and without humility surrender cannot develop. This is the beauty of Krishna Consciousness!
