Dear Sri Vishnu,

               This world is full of miseries. We are
suffering from three fold miseries. they are
Adyatmika, aadiDeivika and Aadhi bouthika. suffering
from our own body, mind  ect which is called
Adyatmika. Then suffering from others like animals,
insects and people connected with us (AAdhi boudhika)
and suffering from calamities like earthquake, flood,
famine etc(Aadhideivika). With all these miseries
around are we able to think of Him always? sometimes
we even forgot that He is there in our heart.But it is
difficult to concentrate on Paramatma within our
heart.

             Thats why for constant thinking of him we
go to temples or worship Him at home in the Pictures
or vigraha.Every one of us should try to go to the
spiritual world where there is no birth, death, oldage
and  disease.There is only bliss there. we are
servants to the Lord and He is our master. So we can
do devotional service to Him there without any
hindrance.We came here because we disobeyed him and
wanted to lord over material nature with our little
independence..Like a kind father He always wants us to
come there.Thats why He never leaves us, and having
compassion on us  He comes and sits in our heart
always guiding us.If we go there We can see him eye to
eye and also talk with him and also do service to Him
according to our   standard of level of bhakthi. We
wont have any miseries only happiness there.and once
we go there we will never come back to this mmaterial
world. and suffer.but If one wants to go there he has
to cultivate certain methods  in the path of
devotional service here.

ing of him we go to temple              Thats why for
constant thinko
