Surfing means visiting different places or spending time on Internet websites, it's also a sport of riding on wave on special board. We are very much habituated for surfing and we love these different surfings because it gives us enjoyment.
Similarly soul is also surfing to different planets, sometimes he goes to heaves and becomes demigod, sometimes he becomes tree, animal and sometimes he takes birth on earth as human seeking enjoyment. Lord tells in Gita that this whole world from topmost planet of Lord Brāhma to the lowermost hellish planet is a place of misery, He calls this world as Dukhalayam(miserable) and Asasvatam(temporary). If manufacturer tells you the information of particular product one must accept those things to avoid further disagreements and troubles similarly Lord Krishna is manufacturer of this world which is full of sufferings, so one shouldn't have unnecessary expectations of enjoyment here, because this product of world is meant to give misery. Primarily we get miserable because of our own mind and body, because of others living entities and because of natural catastrophes such as tsunami and flood and feminine etc.
Prabhupad would say that, this material world is like toilet, just like we do our work there and come out of it immediately similarly we should just fulfill our responsibilities and come out of the material world, don't keep surfing in the different species of life. Just like while surfing on Internet we go from one website to another similarly our desires to enjoy this world takes us to different species, for eg if someone is attached to meat eating he will be awarded with body of tiger or carnivorous animal were that facility is available.
Our scriptures says,"All living entities are wandering in different types of bodies throughout different planets, and if, in the course of their wanderings, they come in contact with a devotee by the direction of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, their lives become successful". So if we want to stop this suffering due to surfing we must take shelter of God as told in above verse, real pleasure is available in spiritual world Vaikuntha (place without any anxiety and misery). This human form of life is considered to be a junction from where we can decide our next destination, animals and trees don't have that choice, human can elevate or degrade himself according to his actions and inclinations. So let's not waste this life simply in surfing but seek a help of God in the form of His holy words(Bhagavad Gita) and holyname to get rid of this suffering world!!
