Our very existence is an atmosphere of non-existence. Why, especially when we are not supposed to be threatened by non-existence? To simply put, we should always exist, we are eternal beings.
Our spiral to non-existence begins by 'misusing' our minute free-will by using it independently of Krishna or God. This is what Bhagavad Gita says. This misuse of free-will is termed as kama or desires free of Krishna. Independent desires entangle and bind us in the three gunas (or ropes of nature). These ropes of nature create cyclical reality thus perpetually binding us.
How to get rid of this perpetual cycle of bondage?
The solution is to connect back to Krishna by always remembering Him and never forgetting Him. This is possible only through constant hearing about Krishna. By constant hearing we can successfully accomplish the following;
- Hearing cultivates knowledge, leads to vairagya (free from passion/ignorance) and fixes one in devotional service (BG 6.35 and 7.1 purport)
- Hearing attracts Krishna within one’s heart (Sri Isopanishad, mantra 13 purport)
- Hearing leads to Spiritual trance. (Nectar of Instruction, text 8 purport)
- Hearing cultivates love of God (CC Adi 7.141 purport, SB 4.12.42 purport)
