Transcendental means beyond senses. So unless a person is not controlling his senses, he cannot really understand this knowledge. The simple process of purification of our senses is to chant this mahamantra: Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. -the Holy Names of God. Basically this mantra means: Oh God engage me in your service. We cannot control our senses artificially. The work of senses is natural. But we can spiritualize our senses by service to God. How does it work? We simply satisfy God's senses. God is a person like us and He also has senses. Of course the difference between us and God is that God is within everybody. We are not. Therefore if we satisfy God we automatically satisfy ourselves. So far we are in illusion. We think that we are our bodies. We try to satisfy our bodies, but in this way we become frustrated. Actually we are spirit souls, which are eternal. We want to satisfy our hunger for eternal, but we look for it in wrong places. People buy so many things still they are not satisfied and still they buy more and more. this is due to the soul within. They are trying to satisfy the soul, but this material enjoyment will never satisfy them, because all material is temporal. That's why they are doomed to be frustrated lifetime after lifetime until they start serving God. Actually service is a natural activity for every person. Even a president serves his voters. But unless he serves God he will be serving this maya (that which is not). It's as though chasing a shadow. We enojy for a small period and then when the enjoyment is up we must look for another source. Service to God is simply returning this material energy back to Him. In this way an eternal circle of exchange is created and we can enjoy the real enjoyment, which is eternal. |
