IF THERE IS NOTHING ELSE...


The great illusion remains very strong. If there is nothing else but the material energy then even though someone knows it is an illusion, it is temporary manifestation, the body will die, because there is nothing else they will cling to the illusion and try to enjoy themselves.

The illusion is preferable to nothingness for most people. But some people actually prefer nothingness rather than the illusion having been so frustrated they will take nothingness as some sort of relief.

Having taken birth in the human form these people are committing suicide. It is like the young man sitting in the sand at the beach smoking a cigarette. My father stopped as we were walking to talk to him. "Why are you smoking? Everyone knows it is not good for health." The young man thought for a minute as he sat there, looked up at us as as we stood there towering over him and looked at the cigarette in his hand, "Because I enjoy it. I'm going to die anyway. Why not at least do something I enjoy."

The only solution is The Supreme Personality of Godhead, neither temporary illusion nor nothingness are any type of solution, although He provides both for those who can't stand it that there really is God and He really is a person.
