Bigger Picture!

Transcribed by Annie
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, Melbourne, March 2011)

When we look at all the devastation in the world and all the pain and suffering, then we become, “It’s too much! It is! It really is!”
The only way to rise above it is to look at the bigger reality – how there’s eternity and how these temporary ups and downs are not so important. The bigger picture!
We should go up from this reality. We should not allow ourselves to become so involved in this reality.
So again and again we have to remind ourselves, because through our being embodied, we are inclined to become involved in this reality.
It is difficult, you know. We cannot see the whole picture. We are like a small piece in a chess board – all we see is our own square. We don’t see the whole board.

But we have to always remember. No, No! It’s part of a bigger plan and Krsna is simply purifying the living beings and bringing them back to Him.
The living being is going through this cycle of birth and death and then he gets a chance to express independent desire and then it will be taken away.
In this way, slowly, the living being is being cured from this particular conditioning so that he can return back to Krsna in the eternal spiritual world, and once he returns there, it’s like he’s been away only for a moment. Only for a moment! All this time in the material world .. only a moment in eternity. So we have to practise again and again to see the bigger picture!
