"Every individual soul remains unconscious after the dissolution of the creation and thus enters into the Lord with His material energy."
Wonder what it is like at the time of dissolution. The last day of the
universe. The end of the world. (Until it is created again..)
"These individual living entities are conditioned souls everlastingly, but in each and every material creation they are given a chance to liberate themselves and become free souls."
This is serious. Do you get the magnitude of what is being said here? We have this chance now. Human form.
"They are all given a chance to take advantage of the Vedic wisdom and find out what is their relationship with the Supreme Lord, how they can be liberated, and what the ultimate profit is in such liberation."
Profit. Profit. Everyone is looking for some profit. What is the profit?
"By properly studying the Vedas one becomes conscious of his position and thus takes to the transcendental devotional service of the Lord and is gradually promoted to the spiritual sky."
The best Vedas for us now is Bhagavad gita, Srimad Bhagavatam and Chaitanya Charitamrta. Made simple for this age which is so very very complicated.
"The individual souls in the material world engage in different activities according to their past unfinished desires. After the dissolution of a particular body, the individual soul forgets everything, but the all-merciful Lord, who is situated in everyone’s heart as the witness, the Supersoul, awakens him and reminds him of his past desires, and thus he begins to act accordingly in his next life."
The Lord respects the individual living entities. Our ability to make our own decisions. It is not His way to try to crush or force anyone into anything. Whatever the entity wants to do it is provided. Good choice. Bad choice. It is not a threat to the Lord in any way. He is making provisions so we can try to fulfill our desires. How great is that!!
"This unseen guidance is described as fate, and a sensible man can understand that this continues his material bondage in the three modes of nature." SB 3.6 purport
He is always giving guidance how to reach Him and not try to find pleasure alone. Without Him..
