From Transient To Permanent
We were qualified to partake of nectar; we are eating bread and butter instead
All of us were in oneness with God. For reasons related to our karmic effects, we have been sent to Earth for undergoing various experiences and getting absolved of our karmas.
We were qualified to partake of nectar; we are eating bread and butter instead. We were eligible to a life in paradise as beings of Light; we are suffering in diseased bodies instead.
We take the transient world to be real and so get caught in the vicious cycle of births and deaths. This is the state of a normal human being.
God owns everything in this world. But we behave as if we are the overlords. How ignorant can we be?
