Mirror Mirror on the wall who is the most beautiful of them all ?
We grew up thinking I am the body ,,it is so pervasive in the material world ,,what we see if not our real self rather the reaction of our past karma ,,we as devotees know this ,,Srila Prabhupadas explains in the 3 chapter of Bhagavad Gita that love of Krsna has been transferred from love of Krsna to lust in the material world,, so basically we do not know who we are and what love is because often love in this material world is based on satisfying ones gross and physical body and subtle ,,this is why Srila Prabhupada gave us devotional service to perform to cure us from the False Ego ,, I am not the body so mirror on the wall does not show it all.In Chandogya Upanisad there is a pastime how Prahlada Maharajas son Virocana went to see Lord Brahma to learn who he really was and Indra came same time,, to learn ,,so Virocana represented the demons ,,though the son of Prahlada Maharaja he was completely blind to spiritual knowledge,,we may wonder how is that possible ? But yes he was an atheist though the son of Prahlada Maharaja and Lord Brahma told him that you can see yourself in the water in the well and Virocana was happy ,,yes I am the body and the boy is meant to enjoy ,,however the son of Virocana was Bali Maharaja and a Paramahamsa and Mahajana ,,Indra was however not
satisfied to identify with the body and asked Lord Brahma who am I really ,, and Lord Brahma gave him some more tests so he finally realized I am the eternal servant of Krsna and am a spirit soul ,,your can read the Chandogya Upanisad and learn for yourself ,,soon we will leave this body and hopefully have given up attachment to this material body being fully in love with Krishna and Radha ,,Lord Caitanya and our Gurudeva ..then we may finally attain a spiritual body,, Srila Prabhupada writes in Srimad Bhagavatam 10 canto one goes to get trained in Krsna lila on Earth where ever Krsna performs His pastime on an Earthly planet in one of the unlimited Universes..you remember when Krsna asked what Brahma is there to see me ,and Krsna manifested unlimeted Brahmas and Sivas from all material universes,,how great is Krsna ?How tiny are we as spirit souls
.But when Krsna saw His reflection in Dvaraka He thought how attractive I am I like to know who Srimati Radha loves Me so Krsna came as Lord Caitanya
