Krsna is the Supreme Enjoyer, Purusa, but the conditioned soul in the gross and subtle body thinks that he is the enjoyer.
Pastime of Bharata Maharaja, in which, due to attachment, he is born as a deer.
Tulasi Dasa explains that the human body exists to do bhajana to the Lord.
In the Bhagavad Gita, Krsna says that a person’s thoughts at the time of death define his body in the next life.
Whoever does bhajana is not deceived by happiness, sadness, birth and death, because he knows that everything depends on the Lord.
Today is ekadasi, the day to chant the holy names even more.
One should not glorify or criticize anyone, much less offend the Vaisnavas.
The human body is very fragile, like a glass harmonium, it can crack or break at any time.
The soul, within the body, is immortal, and desires to do bhajana to the Lord.
Now someone wastes time with material life, but, to abandon the body chanting the holy names, it will be necessary to practice spiritual life considerably.
In Kali-yuga, only the chanting of the holy names can save everyone.
