A living being by birth has a tendency to take a shelter or to put in other words we all have an affinity towards security. This very tendency can be seen in the newborns of any species right from humans to dogs and all others.
However, as we grow up the kind of security we search for changes, and this change over is a very interesting process. During this change over, we learn to be selfish and to forget those, whom we do not need presently. The best part is we are so overwhelmed of our material gains, that in the course of this process we forget the ultimate source of all gains, the Almighty.
During this course of time, we get a lot of worldly benefits form different shelters and become complacent. However, by the grace of Krishna we keep ourselves away from the group of idiots, who enjoy all kinds of worldly pleasures. Of course, we realized we did not want to be one of those for whom the worldly materials are relished till the extent of their capability of helping the substance of life in a dignified way.
Also, we are included among those conditioned souls who know that what condition is and their ultimate goal is to get liberated from this vicious cycle of birth an death and go back to Godhead. We all know why a dog enjoys a bone, he bites the bone with full might and enjoys licking the blood that flows out if its own gums injured by the hard bone, thereby thinking that the blood comes from the bone.
Imagine that if a dog is educated and the blood does not come from the bone, then he is raised tremendously above the position of a dog. He may not become a human being, but his knowledge can beat the excellence of millions of human brains. It is next to impossible to teach a dog about all this, and similarly day by day it is becoming more and more tedious to teach human beings about the need of going back to Godhead.
We can all be happy that by the grace of Krishna we can fall under the category of those dogs who are biting the bone for the sake of momentary substance with an awareness that blood does not come from the bone. We were talking about shelters in my life, then again by the grace of Krishna we realize the need for shelter quite early. Of course, we go to temples and religious organizations where we get a lot of information about the non importance of material world.
After many days of wandering from one place to other, we come across the Krishna consciousness and learned a way of life that was wonderful, disciplined, regulated, blissful, spiritual, and completely dedicated to Krishna. It is not just a movement that teaches how a spiritual life should be, but a reopening of the teachings of Krishna that has been passed on to us form time immemorial and has been revisited in this age of quarrel by Sri Sri Chaintanya Mahaprabhu, who was a devotee form of Sri Krishna.
