Bhagavad Gita 13.33-35 By HG Shyamsundar Prabhuji

Bg 13.33:
The sky, due to its subtle nature, does not mix with anything, although it is all-pervading. Similarly, the soul situated in Brahman vision does not mix with the body, though situated in that body.

BG 13.34:O son of Bharata, as the sun alone illuminates all this universe, so does the living entity, one within the body, illuminate the entire body by consciousness.

BG 13.35:Those who see with eyes of knowledge the difference between the body and the knower of the body, and can also understand the process of liberation from bondage in material nature, attain to the supreme goal.

3 things present in this material world - living entity, material elements and supersoul (Krsna). The goal is to come to this particular understanding and realization that the spirit soul is separate from the body. The supersoul is present everywhere as this form and even though in the material world doesn't get covered by the material coverings.

Meaningful thing in this world is to become KC. The soul is on it's journey. We should serve all the spirit souls remember Krsna so they can make their journey successfully. So when the body dies, we don't lament or rejoice as we then understand soul is eternal, we continue. Don't get attached to the material world, don't become a servant of the material world, become a servant of Krsna. The nature of this material world is temporary. We don't give it too much attention. We don't get too enamored. There are 2 things real in the world - death and Krsna is non different from Holy Name. What has any value is the Hare Krsna mantra! So please chant without offenses and this is real - everything is temporary. Everything else is not priority than the Hare Krsna mantra. We should be very careful as everything else will become sources of pain and obstacles.

An intelligent person doesn't participate in the pleasures of this material world. These pleasures of the material world are source of suffering.

We should hence willingly give ourselves fully to Krsna. Wholeheartedly we should surrender ourselves to the Holy Name and Krsna's service. We are so fortunate that we have received this sublime knowledge We should take advantage of utilizing this knowledge and make our life successful.

We need to become sincere in our chanting so we are prepared for time of death. What is the difference between a sincere student and not sincere. A sincere student is always studying so when he sits for exam he is able to crack that. The student works hard, takes whatever help is required because he wants to be successful. He takes extra coaching and classes might sometimes start early in the morning and the student wakes up to attend the class because the student is serious. When we become serious about the most important exam of our life then we will take advantage of all these resources to utilize and move forward. We will plan and be conscious that we have very less time to get prepared for our life. We need to hence become very serious regarding our life's final exam and prepare very cautiously by chanting the Holy Name very seriously and utilizing every moment of this life so we can remember we are spirit soul and have an eternal relationship with Krsna as His servant.

Krsna gives us a million dollars in front of us everyday and we are wasting our time collecting small pennies and lose the million dollars. Hence make the Holy Name the first priority in our daily life. Hare Krsna!
