You're the person I've been waiting for...

Everybody is looking for happiness in a relationship. Man and woman; parent and child; friend and friend; etc. But sometimes these relationships are a source of misery instead of being a source of happiness. And since everything in this material world is temporary, the relationships are temporary. As it is said, "till death do us part". If we want a relationship that will bring us unending happiness, not even interrupted by death, that can only be found in a relationship with Krishna. We can immediately begin this relationship by taking up devotional service to Him. As we continue to pass our life in His service we can ever-increasingly experience His presence in our lives. But to actually attain Him we will have to be patient because Krishna is definately not a cheap thing. The best thing in all existence is worth waiting for and that best thing is Krishna.

Black, white, yellow, or red; fall in love with Krishna before you're dead.

The Onslaught of Kali Yuga

So we can see that as the kali-yuga (era of quarrel and hypocrisy) progresses, the standard of religiosity and morality as set by the Vedas as well as other traditions is under full attack. Various agendas that are contrary to vedic principles are widely promoted and supported even by leaders of great nations. On the path of the search for truth one finds, in addition to hypocrisy, new brands of atheistic so called spirituality. All of this was anticipated in the Srimad Bhagavatam (1.1.10):  "O learned one, in this iron age of kali men have but short lives. They are quarrelsome, lazy, misguided, unlucky and, above all, always disturbed."  Considering the circumstances  we should accept the advice also given to citizens of kali-yuga. From the Brhan-naradiya Puraṇa (38.126)  "In this age of quarrel and hypocrisy, the only means of deliverance is the chanting of the holy name of the Lord. There is no other way. There is no other way. There is no other way"  And from the Kali-santarana Upanisad  in  Krishna Yajur Veda: "The sixteen names of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra: hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare, hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare destroy all the inauspiciousness of the kali-yuga. This is the conclusion of all the Vedas."

Body is Temporary; Soul is Eternal.

Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence, false ego, spirit soul, Supersoul. The first eight are the total ingredients of our material body. We are all individual spirit souls separate from yet within our respective individual material bodies. As spirit souls we are not material and cannot be seen by material eyes or any material instruments. We are the conscious entity within the material body. The Supersoul, God, is with the spirit soul in the heart. There is one God and there are an unlimited number of individual spirit souls called jivas (in the original Sanskrit language). Although God is with us in our hearts, He is always free, whereas we are in material bondage. It is possible for us to be freed from this bondage and transferred to the superior nature, the Kingdom of God. We will remain individual persons but with an eternal body composed of the spiritual nature. The path to this freedom is called bhakti-yoga or devotional service to Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
