The three modalities

The three modalities, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
In material nature there are three modes, ignorance, passion and goodness. Everything we do in this material world is influenced by these three modalities, today people live very influenced by the modes of ignorance and passion, and very few people live in the mode of goodness, people who live in ignorance have neither enjoyment nor knowledge, are like animals or lower than animals, if a person dies or leaves the body in ignorance goes to the lower or infernal planets, there she suffers all sinful reactions and is trained to that takes an animal body, if one dies or leaves the body in the passion lives in the intermediate planets, the Earth is an intermediate planet, and if one dies or leaves the body in the goodness goes to the upper or heavenly planets, there that person enjoys the reactions of his pious activities and when he is finished he is reborn on Earth. Once a devotee asked Srila Prabhupada how we can always be living in the mode of goodness, and Srila Prabhupada replied that only when a devotee follows the four regulative principles, that is to say that he abandons illicit sexual life, the games of chance, drugs and the consumption of meat, fish and eggs and sings every day the 16 rounds of the Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare (the H is read as J de jota) or 27,648 names of God in his rosary, that person will live in the mode of goodness.
Srila Prabhupada always said that one should always be conscious and then conscious of God or Krishna, a person is conscious when he lives in the mode of goodness, and lives consciously of God or Krishna when he never forgets God or Krishna and His devotees. The result of practicing Krishna consciousness is that one transfers from the material energy to the spiritual energy, and even being in the material world that person lives in the spiritual world, that is to live in pure goodness without any mixture of ignorance, passion and kindness People who leave the body in pure goodness go back to God or Krishna in the spiritual world, and never return to this world full of suffering and temporary.
