Three modes of material nature and our spiritual duties

Within thousands of thoughts that come into the mind, one must remain free from these material thoughts only by thinking to achieve the supreme glory of Lord by becoming free eternally and chanting Hari Nam. Only to establish Supreme glories of Lord, one may look down to this material world when this material world is very favorable to such glories.
PURPORT:
Within our mind thousands of thoughts appear from this material world. People always remain within material thoughts which they don’t have any control to become free. They find thousands of thoughts are appearing within their mind every second, from every side from their material existence. They are always engaged to resolve their own material thoughts within the parameter of their own material boundary. This material boundary is sometimes their own material body, sometimes their home, neighbors, relatives, communities or countries. It is all around of them. They are always pierced every moment through these material thoughts which leads them to perform certain material action. Thus they don’t have time to realize the supreme. That’s why every life is passing through this three modes of material nature. There is no excuse from this. Living entities are always in the prison of three modes of material nature. But when we realize that our ultimate goal is to achieve the supreme Lord who is free from three modes of material nature then we realize to enjoy the ultimate freedom. This ultimate freedom is eternal. When we enjoy these eternal freedom, no more we are bounded within these thousands of material thoughts or three mode of material nature. Here is an example of Moharaj’s journey. Moharaj was engaged in performing spiritual activities that is instructed by His spiritual master Prabhupada to distribute unlimited love of Lord Hari in this material world by distributing Hari Nam. As long as Moharaj is engaged in this spiritual activities, Moharaj had enjoyed most of its and even forgot the time how it passed. This is a complete spiritual engagement that is distributing Hari Nam throughout the material world. But as soon as Moharaj tried to engage into certain material activities like marriage etc, Moharaj found there is many problems. That means material activities are lower than spiritual activities. When Moharaj tried to come down to Material activities, immediately he is within the three modes of material nature. Even when he was flying he is surrounded by person on both side which are completely absorbed within material enjoyments. Thus Moharaj started suffering immediately. That’s why, in the scripture, it ia always advised that if one wants to come down to the material activates then one’s ultimate goal should be glorify the Lord. But one must always remain in the eternal position by enjoying eternal freedom by engaging self to glorify the Lord. One should look downward and travel to the material world to perform material activities, only when it is favorable to glorify the Lord. Just like Narad Rishi used to appear sometimes to certain places only to glorify the Lord. Otherwise suffering is eminent because of the three modes of material nature. All glories to Lord Hari! All glories to Prabhupada! All glories to Narada Muni! All glories to Lord Krsna! All glories to Radha Madhava! All glories to Lord Vishnu! All glories to Mohaparbhu! All glories to Lord Jagannatha! All glories to Worldwide Hari Nam Sankirtan! All glories to the devotees of Mohaprabhu! All glories to the devotees of Nityananda Prabhu! All glories to Narahari Narshima Dev! All glories to the devotees of Prabhupada! All glories to devotees of Advita Achyaria! All glories to devotees of Gadadhar Prabhu! All glories to the devotees of Pancha Tattva! All glory to Srivas including all Vaisnavas and all devotees! Hare Krsna! Haribol!
