Read more…Hare Krsna"During the rainy season we cannot see the moon in the sky, because the moon is covered with clouds. These clouds, however, are radiant with the glow of the moon's own rays. Similarly, in our material existence we cannot directly perceive the soul, because our consciousness is covered by the false ego, which is the false identification with the material world and the material body.Yet it is the soul's own consciousness that illumines the false ego. In truth we are merely experiencing…
