The purpose of this Hare Krsna movement is to bring man back to his original
consciousness, which is Krsna consciousness, clear consciousness. When water
falls from the clouds, it is uncontaminated like distilled water, but as soon
as it touches the ground it becomes muddy and discolored. Similarly, we are
originally pure spirit soul, part and parcel of Krsna, and therefore our
original constitutional position is as pure as God's. In the Bhagavad-gita Sri
Krsna says:
mamaivamso jiva-loke
jiva-bhutah sanatanah
manah sasthanindriyani
prakrti-sthani karsati
"The living entities in this conditional world are My fragmental parts, and
they are eternal. But due to conditioned life, they are struggling very hard
with the six senses, which include the mind." (Bg. 15.7)
Thus all living entities are part and parcel of Krsna. By Krsna it should
always be remembered that we are speaking of God, Krsna denoting the
all-attractive Supreme Personality of Godhead. As a fragment of gold is
qualitatively the same as a gold reservoir, so the minute particles of Krsna's
body are therefore qualitatively as good as Krsna. The chemical composition of
God's body and the eternal spiritual body of the living entity is the
same-spiritual. Thus originally, in our uncontaminated condition, we possessed
a form as good as God's, but just as rain falls to the ground, so we come in
contact with this material world, which is manipulated by the external material
energy of Krsna.
