Returning to the Eternal Religion 253
janma karma ca me divyam
evam yo vetti tattvatah
tyaktva deham punar janma
naiti mam eti so ’rjuna
[Bg. 4.9]
Every one of us is giving up our body at every moment. The last phase of
giving up this body is called death. But Krsna says, ‘‘If anyone under-
stands My appearance and disappearance and My activities—not super-
ficially but in truth—after giving up this body he never again accepts a
material body.”” 3
What happens to such a person? Mam eti—he returns to Krsna. If you
are to go to Krsna, then you have to prepare your spiritual body. That is
Krsna consciousness. If you keep yourself in Krsna consciousness, then
gradually you prepare your next body, a spiritual body, which will carry
you immediately to Krsnaloka, the abode of Krsna, and you will become
happy. You will live there perpetually and blissfully.
