Relishing Eternal Nectar In Material Body
Hare Krishna!!
We all want to taste the daily bread of happiness. Long-lasting pleasure!! We’re always eager to hear news. Good news!! Nowadays, there is a trend of Daily Updates. We seek happiness in scrolling smartphone screen or take shelter under laptop. Today’s generation is engaged in this activity for several hours, whole day and night.
Let’s discuss onto this topic with a few queries…
Are we updated to how we can enjoy eternal nectar? Am I the only one who is diving deep in the ocean of sadness? How can we relish our lives without the scene of hosting sadness?

Let’s find out our answers from the Eternal Science of divine Bhagavad Gita…
We all are suffering in this material world. Nobody can deny it. We postpone our happiness either by sleeping, sitting idle, scrolling screen or accepting so-called methodologies for happiness. But it do not work. And we all dive in the ocean of sadness. Nobody can deny it.
The main question is how to gain happiness forever? In BG(14.20), The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Krishna answers this question. He says, “When the embodied being is able to transcend these three modes associated with the material body, he can become free from birth, death, old age and their distresses and can enjoy nectar even in this life.”
Yes, we can enjoy nectar even in this material body. Not by sleeping, sitting idle, scrolling screen and so on. We can gain this when we will. Only by getting ourselves advanced in spiritual knowledge, we can gain eternal nectar of happiness. Not by mundane knowledge!! Spiritual knowledge is required.
In purport to BG(14.20), Srila Prabhupada assures that by advancing in spiritual knowledge, one can enjoy the happiness of spiritual life even in this body because after leaving this body, he is certainly going to the spiritual sky.
But what we say?? “NO NO!! I have to focus on my diet, on my family, my job… No time!! What will happen by advancing in spiritual knowledge.”
We will get ourselves out of our eternal problems- birth, death, old age and distresses.
There will be no fear. Only eternal joy!!
In purport to SB(2.1.5), Srila Prabhupada says, “Everyone wants to be free from all kinds of fear, and everyone wants the fullest extent of happiness in life.”
If there will be fear, then how can we say that there is any sort of happiness?? Not at all. We cannot define eternal happiness with fear as the simple interest. Spiritual knowledge assures no fear of any brand.
Our body is dependent on soul. Not that soul is dependent on our body. Surely, if we feed the soul, then we can get eternal pleasure. Eternal pleasure means pleasure of soul. Pleasing our material senses unnecessarily is not the way that we are now engaged in.
Now the question arises- How to feed the soul?
This can be attained by chanting Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare// Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare, by reading
Bhagavad Gita, by accepting prasadam and so on.
Everyone is searching for Krishna. Lord Krishna is the source of eternal pleasure. Hearing about the glories of Lord Krishna is the one shot solution to all our problems. By doing this, we will invite happiness in our lives, without hosting sadness behind (tuṣyanti ca ramanti ca- BG 10.9). Why not we welcome eternal happiness in our lives??? Let’s get it invited to our lives…
Hare Krishna!!
