Che Guevara’s famous last diary, found in his backpack after he was captured by the Bolivian Army in 1967 played a pivotal role in catapulting him to iconic status after his death.

This fascinating diary describes the troubled guerrilla campaign until Che’s final entry on the 7th October 1967 – the day before his capture by the CIA-backed Bolivian Army and his execution. Ernesto Che Guevara was born in Argentina in 1928. After fighting alongside Fidel Castro in the three-year guerrilla war in Cuba, he became the Minister for Industry following the victory of the Cuban revolution. In 1966 he established a guerrilla base in Bolivia. He was captured by the CIA and killed in 1967.

Esta vida material está basada simplemente en la lujuria; nosotros queremos disfrutar de este mundo, y amamos a este mundo material porque queremos gratificar nuestros sentidos. Esta lujuria es un reflejo pervertido de nuestro amor por Dios. En nuestra constitución original estamos hechos para amar a la Personalidad de Dios, pero debido a que nos hemos olvidado de Dios, amamos la materia. Por naturaleza la entidad viviente es perfecta, pero debido a la contaminación de esta lujuria, ella se vuelve viciosa; aquello que es parte y porción del oro también es oro, por lo tanto, cualquier cosa que sea parte o porción del todo perfecto también es perfecto. Igualmente por la invocación del sri Isopanisad- leemos que,” La personalidad de Dios es perfecta y completa, y debido a que Él es completamente perfecto, todo lo que emana de Él, tal como este mundo de fenómenos, está perfectamente equipado como un todo completo. Todo lo que se produce del todo completo también está completo en sí mismo. Debido a que Él es el todo completo, aunque tantas unidades completas que emanen de Él, Él permanece completo en lo remanente”. Debido a la contaminación de la materia, la perfecta entidad viviente cae, pero el proceso de la conciencia de Krishna hará que ella sea otra vez perfecta. A través de este proceso, ella puede volverse realmente feliz, y después de abandonar el cuerpo material, puede entrar en el reino donde la vida es eterna bienaventurada y plena de conocimiento.
