is forced to enter a father's seed and then be introduced into a mother's womb. He has no power to choose who will become his father. The laws of nature force him to go to different parents. The alleged kinship between a father and a son therefore only exists by an arrangement of the material nature which acts under the authority of God, it has no real meaning and that is why it is said to be illusory.
The same living being will get a father and a mother sometimes belonging to the animal kingdom and sometimes to the human species; sometimes his parents will be birds, and other times they will be celestial beings. This is why Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the Avatar of Gold, says:
“Harassed life after life by the laws of nature, the incarnate being wanders through the entire galaxy on different planets and within various species. If, in one way or another, he is fortunate enough to meet a sage who will change his whole life, he can then return to God, in his original home.”
During the transmigration or reincarnation of the soul through different bodies, each one, whatever it is, a human being, an animal, a plant or a celestial being, obtains a father and a mother. So there’s nothing difficult. What is, is to get an authentic spiritual master and Krishna, God, the Supreme Person. This is why the duty of the human being is to seize the opportunity to come into contact with the representative of Krishna, the authentic spiritual master. Under the direction of this spiritual father, he can then return to God, in his original home, located in the eternal kingdom of the Lord.
Some beings are born among human species, and others are born in animal forms. Although both are living beings, spiritual souls, their relationships are fleeting. An animal can live under the protection of a human being for some time and then belong to other men. As soon as he leaves a master to join another, his former owner ceases to regard him as belonging to him. As long as the animal is in his possession, the man does not fail to become attached to him, but as soon as he sells it, this attachment is broken.
Aside from the fact that the soul transmigrates from one body to another, the relationships uniting beings in the same lifetime are temporary. Being incarnate is certainly eternal, but because a temporary garment, the body, covers it, it cannot realize its real eternity. The soul passes, in a body, from childhood to youth, then to old age. So the body garment is transient, while the soul is eternal. Like an animal passing from one master to another, as soon as it is transferred to another body, this parental relationship based on affection is broken. Although one being can be linked
