My dear Gurugauranga das;<br />
Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated Sept, 1 1974 and have noted the contents. Regarding the marriage of Ramiya devi dasi; you can find out a suitable boy there, I think that Bhagavan das can arrange this. It is not necessary for Bilvamangala to marry this particular girl, another can be found out. Regarding the remarks of Prof. Jean Herbert, in Bhagavad-gita we find no instruction except devotional service or bhakti yoga. We have to prove this from the statements of the Bhagavad gita. We cannot accept the interpretation of an outsider. Regarding karma yoga the Lord says: yat karosi yad asnasi yaj juhosi dadasi yat/ yat tapasyasi kaunteya tat kurusva mad-arpanam ([[BG 9.27 (1972)|BG 9.27]]). This mad-arpanam is bhakti yoga. Similarly the Lord says: bahunam janmanam ante jnanavan mam prapadyate/ vasudevah sarvam iti sa mahatma su-durlabhah ([[BG 7.19 (1972)|BG 7.19]]). This means that jnana alone is not good unless the jnani surrenders to Krishna. Unless one does so his knowledge is not perfect. Similarly at the end of the Bhagavad gita the Lord says: sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja/ aham tvam sarva-papebhyo moksayisyami ma sucah ([[BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]]). This is the ultimate goal to surrender to the Supreme Lord. This is the end of yoga.<br />
He also says at the end of the ([[BG 6.47 |6th chapter]]): yoginam api sarvesam mad-gatenantar-atmana/sraddhavan bhajate yo mam sa me yuktatamo matah. Of all yogas, karma yoga, hatha yoga, etc., one who always thinks of Krishna is the 1st class yogi. We are teaching people to become 1st class yogis in Krishna consciousness.

I hope this meets you in good health.

Your ever well wisher,<br />

Nitāi: (leads chanting of verse) (devotees repeat)

:''maṁ lokaṁ tathaivāmum''
:''ātmānam ubhayāyinam''
:''ātmānam anu ye ceha''
:''ye rāyaḥ paśavo gṛhāḥ''

:''visṛjya sarvān anyāṁś ca''
:''mām evaṁ viśvato-mukham''
:''bhajanty ananyayā bhaktyā''
:''tān mṛtyor atipāraye''
:([[SB 3.25.39-40]])

(break)

"Thus the devotee who worships Me, the all-pervading Lord of the universe, in unflinching devotional service, gives up all aspirations to be promoted to heavenly planets or to become happy in this world with wealth, children, cattle, home or anything in relationship with the body. I take him to the other side of birth and death."

Prabhupāda:

:''imaṁ lokaṁ tathaivāmum''
:''ātmānam ubhayāyinam''
:''ātmānam anu ye ceha''
:''ye rāyaḥ paśavo gṛhāḥ''

:''visṛjya sarvān anyāṁś ca''
:''mām evaṁ viśvato-mukham''
:''bhajanty ananyayā bhaktyā''
:''tān mṛtyor atipāraye''
:([[SB 3.25.39-40]])

So Kapiladeva is describing ''bhakti-yoga''. Yesterday, last night, we have already discussed the previous verse. Then ''bhaktas yeṣām ahaṁ priya. Bhakta'' means who takes Kṛṣṇa, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as the most dear, dearest of everything. And ''ātmā sutaś ca sakhā guruḥ suhṛdo daivam iṣṭam''. Everything. "Kṛṣṇa is my ''guru''. Kṛṣṇa is my ''ātmā'', because I am part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa," ''mamaivāṁśo jīva-bhūtaḥ'' ([[BG 15.7 (1972)|BG 15.7]]). "So Kṛṣṇa is origin; I am part and parcel. Then Kṛṣṇa is my . . ." One who wants to love Kṛṣṇa as son . . . we have described already. Kṛṣṇa is prepared to become your son, because we love son. We offer respect to ''guru''. We offer respect to ''devatā''. So everything should be Kṛṣṇa. ''Yeṣām ahaṁ priya ātmā sutaś ca sakhā'', friend. Just like Arjuna, he accepted Kṛṣṇa as his friend.

So everyone can accept Kṛṣṇa in so many ways. So:

:''śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ''
:''smaraṇaṁ pāda-sevanam''
:''arcanaṁ vandanaṁ dāsyaṁ''
:''sakhyam . . .''
:([[SB 7.5.23-24|SB 7.5.23]])

So you can love Kṛṣṇa as ''sakhā'', as Arjuna did. And similarly, Parīkṣit Mahārāja, he simply heard about Kṛṣṇa, ''śravaṇam''. These are the nine processes. ''Śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ'': "Of Viṣṇu, of Kṛṣṇa." Kṛṣṇa and Viṣṇu—the same. Not anyone else. You cannot say that, "I am hearing about Mr. Such-and-such, a great politician, ''śravaṇam''." No, that will not help you. ''Śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ. Smaraṇam'', also "always thinking of Me."

:''yoginām api sarveṣāṁ''
:''mad-gatenāntar-ātmanā''
:''śraddhāvān bhajate yo māṁ''
:''sa me yuktatamo mataḥ''
:([[BG 6.47 (1972)|BG 6.47]])

:''man-manā bhava mad-bhakto''
:''mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru''
:([[BG 18.65 (1972)|BG 18.65]])

That is ''śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ smaraṇam'' ([[SB 7.5.23-24|SB 7.5.23]]), always thinking of Kṛṣṇa. Simply if you . . . meditation. That is meditation. If you meditate about Kṛṣṇa always, then you become the first-class ''yogī''. That is said in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' in the Sixth Chapter, ''yoginām api sarveṣāṁ mad-gatenāntar-ātmanā'' ([[BG 6.47 (1972)|BG 6.47]]).

So this movement is teaching everyone always to be Kṛṣṇa conscious, to become first-class ''yogī'', and take Kṛṣṇa as everything—''priya, suta, sakhā, guru'', everything. That is called ''bhakta''. So in this way, ''visṛjya sarvān anyāṁś ca. Visṛjya'' means giving up completely. If you want a son, all right, Kṛṣṇa is prepared to become your son. If you want a lover, all right, Kṛṣṇa is prepared to become your lover. If you want a friend, Kṛṣṇa is prepared to become your friend. Everything Kṛṣṇa is prepared, and that relationship is going on in this material world. Somebody . . . I love somebody as my son. I love somebody as my friend. I love somebody as my lover. I love somebody as my father. Or in this relationship, ''sākhyam''. There is the mellows, the ''sākhya-bhāva, vātsalya-bhāva, vātsalyam, mādhuryam'', means loving platform, loving propensities. Kṛṣṇa is prepared.

So if . . . actually if we want to become free from the clutches of this ''janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi'' . . . ([[BG 13.8-12 (1972)|BG 13.9]]). That is our problem. Here we have discussed many time that we, as spirit soul, we are not this body. I am not this body; you are not this body. I am Brahman, ''ahaṁ brahmāsmi''. You are also Brahman, or spirit soul. But I am not Para-brahman. That is mistake. Neither you are Para-brahman. There are two words in the scriptures: Brahman and Para-brahman; ''ātmā'' and Paramātmā; ''īśvara'' and Parameśvara. The Māyāvādīs, they think there is no difference. No, there is difference. Otherwise, why the word is used, "''parama''"? So I may be ''īśvara'', you may be ''īśvara'', but you are not Parameśvara. You are ''ātmā''; I am ''ātmā''. But I am not Paramātmā; you are not Paramātmā.

So in this way the Paramātmā, Parameśvara, that is Kṛṣṇa. Therefore it is said, ''visṛjya sarvān anyāṁś ca mām eva''. Bhagavān says, Kapiladeva . . . Kapiladeva is also Kṛṣṇa. He says, ''mam eva'': "Only unto Me." "And what is the difference between you and Me? No, I am ''viśvato-mukham''. I am all-pervading. You are not all-pervading." That is the difference. You are sitting here. You are not at your home. But Kṛṣṇa is here, being worshiped in this temple, but He is present in many, many millions of temples. ''Viśvato-mukham''. He is accepting devotional services from the devotee in many thousands of temple. Not only that; as Kṛṣṇa says in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' that . . . what is that? I forget now. Now I am becoming old, I am forgetting.

Anyway, Kṛṣṇa is Paramātmā. He is present everywhere. ''Īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe arjuna tiṣṭhati''. That is ''viśvato-mukham''. He is living in everyone's heart. That is the difference between Kṛṣṇa and me. Kṛṣṇa and me, that is the difference. ''Aham''. Here it is said, ''mām eva viśvato-mukham. Mām eva''. Kṛṣṇa or Bhagavān, He says ''mām eva'', but what is the ''mām eva''? He is not a person like me or you. He is ''viśvato-mukham''. He, Kṛṣṇa, says in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' that this body is the field of, ''kṣetra'', field of activities. ''Idaṁ śarīraṁ kṣetram ity abhidhīyate. Kṣetra-kṣetrajña''. And the owner of the body, or the occupier of the body, not owner . . . we are not actually owner of this body. Because as soon as there will be order that "You vacate this body," you have to immediately vacate. Therefore we are not owner; we are occupier.

This is a machine given by Kṛṣṇa.

:''īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ''
:''hṛd-deśe arjuna tiṣṭhati''
:''bhrāmayan sarva-bhūtāni''
:''yantrārūḍhāni māyayā''
:([[BG 18.61 (1972)|BG 18.61]])

This is a ''yantra'', machine. I am not this machine, but this machine has been given to me to move. Just like you get a car to move. Especially mentioned, ''yantra. Yantra'', just like a car is machine, but you are not the car. Suppose if you want a car to move. Your father gives you a car, maybe costly or not; that depends on the father's condition or your condition. But the father or the . . . you purchase. But here it is said that the . . . because we want to move in this material world under different desires, so Kṛṣṇa gives us different types of bodies, 8,400,000 different species of ''yantra''. They are just like machine, ''yantrārūḍhāni'', and that machine is made by ''māyā'', this material energy. That is not spiritual energy. I am spiritual energy; you are spiritual energy. But this vehicle, or the car, or the moving machine, that is not spiritual. That is material. ''Yantrārūḍhāni māyayā'' ([[BG 18.61 (1972)|BG 18.61]]). It is given by ''māyā''.

''Prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni guṇaiḥ'' ([[BG 3.27 (1972)|BG 3.27]]) . . . we are in a machine made by ''māyā''. And so long we are on this machine, the machine will be old and you will have to change it for another machine. That is going on. That is called ''janma-mṛtyu''. That is called birth and death. Otherwise you and me, we have no birth and death. ''Na jāyate na mriyate vā kadācit''. The soul, or the Brahman, he does not take birth or dies. Simply we change this machine, body. ''Na hanyate hanyamāne śarīre'' ([[BG 2.20 (1972)|BG 2.20]]). You are driving one car. If the car is broken or it is smashed, that does not mean you are smashed. You may have some accident, but you are not finished; the car may be finished. Similarly, ''na hanyate hanyamāne śarīre''. Similarly, this body being finished, we are not finished. ''Tathā dehāntara-prāptiḥ'' ([[BG 2.13 (1972)|BG 2.13]]), we get another car, another body, just like we are getting different bodies in this life.

So the question is that if I am ''nityaḥ śāśvataḥ, na hanyate han'' . . . and my position is I never die, never take birth, so why I have been put into this condition, accepting this machine? That is real problem. That is real problem. Then what is the cause? That cause is that because I want to enjoy this material world. What is that material world? Here it is said, ''rāyaḥ paśavo gṛhāḥ. Rāyaḥ'' means wealth. Formerly, a man was considered to be wealthy—now also it is—''dhānyena dhanavān, gavayā dhanavān''. If you have got many number of cows, then you are considered to be rich man. Not papers. Nowadays, if you have got bunch of paper written "One thousand dollar," but they are paper only, you are ''dhanavān''. Formerly, practical. Not ''dhanavān'' by the papers, by the currency notes, but by how many cows you possess. Because that is life. You get milk. And ''dhānyena'', if you have got food grains, then you are rich, not by possessing some paper. No. Therefore it it said here, ''rāyaḥ paśavo gṛhāḥ''. So these are the material possession.

So, so long we are after this material possession, then we cannot get out of this circle of birth and death. But if we give up this material possession and you take Kṛṣṇa and . . . the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and worship Him in ''bhakti-yoga'', as it is said here, ''bhajanty ananyayā bhaktyā . . . ananyayā bhaktyā. Ananyayā bhaktyā'' means pure, not mixed. You should not mix ''bhakti'' with ''jñāna'' and ''karma''. That is pure ''bhakti''. ''Anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyaṁ jñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam'' (Brs. 1.1.11). To . . . just like there are many ''bhaktas'', they are not pure ''bhaktas''. Chanting, they are also chanting, but they are aspiring after ''mukti''. So they are not pure ''bhaktas''; they are adulterated ''bhaktas''. A ''bhakta ''does not want ''mukti''. We have discussed all the things. ''Bhakta'' wants nothing from the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He simply wants to serve Him. That's all. And serve Him ''ānukūlyena'', not whimsically, "I want to serve You as I like." No. ''Ānukūlyena''. Just like Arjuna did. Arjuna served Kṛṣṇa not whimsically, but as Kṛṣṇa desired.

Kṛṣṇa . . . Arjuna was not willing to fight. He said: "No, Kṛṣṇa, the other side, my friends and relatives. I cannot." That is whimsical. But when he decided after hearing ''Bhagavad-gītā, kariṣye vacanaṁ tava'' ([[BG 18.73 (1972)|BG 18.73]]): "Yes, I shall do what You are asking, to fight. I shall kill my grandfather. That's all," that is ''anukūla. Ānukūlyena kṛṣṇānuśīlanaṁ bhaktir uttamā'' ([[CC Madhya 19.167|CC Madhya 19.167]]). You cannot serve Kṛṣṇa by your whims. ''Ānukūlyena. Anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyaṁ jñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam, ānukūlyena kṛṣṇānuśīlanam'' (Brs. 1.1.11). You have to serve Kṛṣṇa as He says. If I want a glass of water, you must give me a glass of water. You cannot say, "Prabhupāda, milk is better than water. Why don't you take one glass of milk?" That is not ''anukūla''. You must supply me what I want. That is ''anukūla''. That is favorably. I want to drink water. Why should you give me milk? That is ''anukūla''. That is ''bhakti''. That is ''ananyayā'' . . . you don't manufacture your own trademark of ''bhakti''. No, that is not ''bhakti''.

It is not that . . . sometimes people say, some so-called ''bhaktas'', they say that, "I can worship the Lord in my own way." No, that you cannot do. You have to . . . but because you have no connection with the Supreme Lord, you simply think a fiction, an idea, imagination, ''kalpana''. The Māyāvādīs, they say ''kalpana''. ''Brahma-rūpa-kalpanaḥ'': "Brahma has no ''rūpa'', but you imagine some ''rūpa'', or form." That is Māyāvāda. That is not. Kṛṣṇa has got ''rūpa''. Kṛṣṇa is present here with His original ''rūpa'', as it is described in the Vedic literature:

:''veṇuṁ kvaṇantam aravinda-dalāyatākṣaṁ''
:''barhāvataṁsam asitāmbuda-sundarāṅgam''
:''kandarpa-koṭi-kamanīya-viśeṣa-śobhaṁ''
:''govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi''
:(Bs. 5.30)

His form. ''Īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ'' (Bs. 5.1). ''Paramaḥ. Īśvaraḥ paramaḥ''. We may be ''īśvara''; you may be ''īśvara''. That's all right. But you are not Parameśvara; I am not Parameśvara. ''Īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ''. The Parameśvara is Kṛṣṇa. Paramātmā is Kṛṣṇa. We are not. ''Kṣetra-kṣetrajña''. ''Kṣetrajña'' means one who knows about the ''kṣetra''. We are acting with this body. I am also acting, you are also acting, the dog is also acting, cat is also acting, the tree is also acting—according to the body. But within the body, ''dehino 'smin yathā dehe kaumāraṁ yauvanam . . . tathā dehā'' . . . ([[BG 2.13 (1972)|BG 2.13]]), the owner, or the occupier of the body, is within.

So Kṛṣṇa says, ''kṣetra-jñaṁ cāpi māṁ viddhi'': "You are ''kṣetrajña''. You are owner of this body. But I am also ''kṣetrajña''. So I am ''kṣetrajña''. I am the real proprietor. You are simply occupier. You are not the proprietor." ''Yantrārūḍhāni māyayā'' ([[BG 18.61 (1972)|BG 18.61]]). He gives you. You wanted a body like this, oh, you have got, "Now take this body." Kṛṣṇa is giving all facilities to enjoy this material world. Sometimes you want the body of a ''devatā'' like Brahmā, Indra, Candra. "All right." ''Yānti deva-vratā devān'' ([[BG 9.25 (1972)|BG 9.25]]). It is said in the ''Bhagavad-gītā, yānti deva-vratāḥ''. If you want to become ''devatā'', so you act like that. You qualify yourself, and you will go there, and you will get a body. You can get a body like Brahmā or you can get the body of the worm in the stool, as you like. Now it is . . . "Or if you like, a body like Me," Kṛṣṇa says. ''Yānti mad-yājino 'pi mām''. And if you want to get a body like Kṛṣṇa, ''sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha'' (Bs. 5.1)—that is our body, real body, sat, cit, ''ānanda''—then you can get it.

So our intelligence will be proved when we want to go back to home, back to God . . . Kṛṣṇa. ''Mad-yājī mām'' . . . He gives you freedom, free pass. If you want to go to the demigod's planet . . . ''yānti deva'' . . . what is that? ''Deva-yajña''. Huh?

Devotee: ''Pitṟn yānti pitṛ-vratāḥ''.

Prabhupāda: ''Pitṟn yānti pitṛ-vratāḥ''.

Devotee: ''Bhūtāni'' . . .

Prabhupāda: ''Bhūtāni yānti bhūtejyā mad-yājino 'pi yā'' . . . ([[BG 9.25 (1972)|BG 9.25]]). Now it is your choice. It is your choice where you want to go. You have to go somewhere. You can remain here in this material world, you can remain to the higher planets, or you can go beyond these higher planets. ''Avyakto 'vyaktāt sanātanaḥ'', ''paras tasmāt tu bhāvaḥ anyaḥ'' ([[BG 8.20 (1972)|BG 8.20]]). There is another nature. This is material nature, and there is another nature, spiritual nature. You can go there also, as you like. You are given full freedom. So here it is said . . . but wherever you go, it is said, ''ābrahma-bhuvanāl lokāḥ punar āvartino 'rjuna'' ([[BG 8.16 (1972)|BG 8.16]]). ''Kṣīṇe puṇye punar martya-lokaṁ viśanti''. You can go to the Svarga-loka, the heavenly planets, by your pious activities, but ''kṣīṇe puṇye'', when your ''puṇya'', pious acti . . . resultant action of pious activities will be finished, then you have to come back again. ''Kṣīṇe puṇye punar martya-lokam'' . . .

But Kṛṣṇa says, ''yad gatvā na nivartante tad dhāma paramaṁ mama'' ([[BG 15.6 (1972)|BG 15.6]]) "If you, some way or other, you go to that place where I live . . ." Kṛṣṇa lives everywhere. Kṛṣṇa, ''īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati'' ([[BG 18.61 (1972)|BG 18.61]]), but He has got a special home. Just like the governor or the president, he can move many places, but still, he has got his own place, the ''rāja-bhavan'', like that. Similarly, Kṛṣṇa's place is Goloka Vṛndāvana. ''Cintāmaṇi-prakara-sadmasu kalpa-vṛkṣa-lakṣāvṛteṣu sura'' . . . (Bs. 5.29). But, ''goloka eva nivasaty akhilātma-bhūtaḥ'' (Bs. 5.37). That is Kṛṣṇa. He can live in Goloka Vṛndāvana, like you see here Kṛṣṇa, His Goloka Vṛndāvana. He is enjoying the company of Vṛndāvaneśvarī, Rādhārāṇī. So ''goloka eva nivasaty akhilātma-bhūtaḥ''. That is ''viśvato-mukham''. Here it is said, ''visṛjya sarvān anyāṁś ca mām evaṁ viśvato-mukham''.

So if you concentrate your devotion, your mind, your activities by this ''bhakti-yoga, śravaṇaṁ kīrtanam . . . bhakti-yoga'' means first of all to hear. Without hearing, how you can become ''bhakta''? You must know about Kṛṣṇa. If you want to make friendship with somebody or make some transaction, we have got already our relationship, eternal relationship with Kṛṣṇa, because we are part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa. But some way or other, we have forgotten it now. Therefore in the ''Caitanya-caritāmṛta'' it is said, ''anādi-bahirmukha jīva, kṛṣṇa bhuli' gelā'' ([[CC Madhya 20.117|CC Madhya 20.117]]). Some way or other, from long, long time, we have forgotten Kṛṣṇa. ''Kṛṣṇa bhuli' gelā. Ataeva kṛṣṇa veda-purāṇa kailā'': "Therefore Kṛṣṇa has made all these ''Vedas'' and ''Purāṇas ''and ''śāstra'', everything, ''Mahābhārata''." Kṛṣṇa comes there. This is . . . because when we forget . . . now this age is going on, Kali-yuga, forgetfulness. People are forgetting more and more Kṛṣṇa. They are not interested anymore. But Kṛṣṇa is interested. Kṛṣṇa, because we are sons of Kṛṣṇa . . . just like a mad son, he is no more interested in home or father, mother, but still, the father and mother is interested, that "This boy has gone out of home and is simply suffering." ''Bhūtvā bhūtvā pralīyate ''([[BG 8.19 (1972)|BG 8.19]]). "He is accepting one type of body and again giving it up, again accepting another body. In this way he is traveling," ''ābrahma-bhuvanāl lokāḥ'', "all the planets, all the species of life. So let Me try to rescue him." Therefore Kṛṣṇa comes. ''Yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati bhārata, tadātmānaṁ sṛjāmy aham'' ([[BG 4.7 (1972)|BG 4.7]]).

So we are falsely engaged in this material world, illusion. ''Ato gṛha-kṣetra-sutāpta-vittair janasya moho 'yam'' ([[SB 5.5.8|SB 5.5.8]]). This material world, it is not our home. How we can say it is home? I am living in this body, in this home, say, for fifty, sixty or hundred years, again get out. So how I can say it is my home? I am ''nitya''. I must have an eternal home. Why I am this temporary? This is knowledge. This is knowledge. Unless one is not awakened to this knowledge, then he is a fool, rascal. ''Yasyātma-buddhiḥ kuṇape tri-dhātuke'' ([[SB 10.84.13|SB 10.84.13]]). One who is thinking, "This is my body. This is I am," ''sa eva go-kharaḥ'': he is no better than animals. There are dog thinking. So if a man thinks that "I am this body," then what is this position? He is no better than a dog.

You should not be that. This human form of life is meant for this inquiry, ''athāto brahma-jijñāsā''. "If I am Brahman, then what is . . .? Brahman means eternal. So why I am busy with these bodily affairs?" This is called ''brahma-jijñāsā''. And if you become very learned scholar in ''Vedānta'' and busy with these bodily affairs, that is another foolishness. If you actually ''Vedāntist'', then you should be inquiring that "I am eternal. Why I am put into this temporary body, and on account of this body, I am subjected to so many miserable condition of material life? Why I should remain in this condition? How I can get released from this condition?" That is human life. That is human life. And ''tad-vijñānārthaṁ sa gurum evābhigacchet'' (MU 1.2.12). If you actually very much eager to inquire about it, then you require a ''guru''. ''Tasmād guruṁ prapadyeta jijñāsuḥ śreya uttamam'' ([[SB 11.3.21|SB 11.3.21]]): "One who is inquisitive about spiritual life, about spiritual identity," ''tasmāt'', "therefore," ''guruṁ prapadyeta'', "you must seek out a bona fide ''guru''."

So who can be better ''guru'' than Kṛṣṇa? He is the original ''guru''. Here it is stated, ''guruḥ''. In the previous verse, ''yeṣām ahaṁ priya ātmā sutaś ca sakhā guruḥ''. ''Guruḥ''. So you don't accept anyone ''guru'', but accept ''guru'', Kṛṣṇa. And Kṛṣṇa is instructing ''Bhagavad-gītā'' as ''guru. Śiṣyas te 'haṁ śādhi māṁ prapannam'' ([[BG 2.7 (1972)|BG 2.7]]). Arjuna says: "My dear Kṛṣṇa, I am accepting as my ''guru''. I am Your ''śiṣya''." So everyone should become like that, accept Kṛṣṇa as ''guru''. Or Kṛṣṇa's representative. You can say, "Where is Kṛṣṇa? I don't find." But Kṛṣṇa's representative is there. That is also stated in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'':

:''tad viddhi praṇipātena''
:''paripraśnena sevayā''
:''upadekṣyanti tad jñānaṁ''
:''jñāninas tattva-darśinaḥ''
:([[BG 4.34 (1972)|BG 4.34]])

So one who knows Kṛṣṇa perfectly, he is Kṛṣṇa's representative. And to know Kṛṣṇa is very difficult task? No. Everything is explained in the ''Bhagavad-gītā''. But if you, like a rascal, interpret in a different way, then you are not a ''guru''; you are a ''goru''. Then you are animal. You are ''guru'' so long you take ''Bhagavad-gītā'' as it is.

Thank you very much.

Pradyumna: ''Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya''. (devotees repeat) (leadms chanting of verse, etc.)

:''yad atra kriyate karma''
:''bhagavat-paritoṣaṇam''
:''jñānaṁ yat tad adhīnaṁ hi''
:''bhakti-yoga-samanvitam''
:([[SB 1.5.35|SB 1.5.35]])

(break)

Translation: "Whatever work is done here in this life for the satisfaction of the mission of the Lord is called ''bhakti-yoga'', or transcendental loving service of the Lord. And what is called knowledge becomes a concomitant factor."

(break)

Prabhupāda:

:''yad atra kriyate karma''
:''bhagavat-paritoṣaṇam''
:''jñānaṁ yat tad adhīnaṁ hi''
:''bhakti-yoga-samanvitam''
:([[SB 1.5.35|SB 1.5.35]])

A similar passage is there, ''saṁsiddhir hari-toṣaṇam. Ataḥ pumbhir dvija-śreṣṭhā varṇāśrama-vibhāgaśaḥ''.

:''ataḥ pumbhir dvija-śreṣṭhā''
:''varṇāśrama-vibhāgaśaḥ''
:''svanuṣṭhitasya dharmasya''
:''saṁsiddhir hari-toṣaṇam''
:([[SB 1.2.13|SB 1.2.13]])

Similar. ''Bhagavat-paritoṣaṇam. Bhagavat-paritoṣaṇam'' or ''hari-toṣaṇam'', the same thing. So first of all we must know what is ''bhagavat'', or Hari—then we may try to satisfy Him. Unfortunately, we do not know what is God. Where is the question of satisfying Him? This is the . . . at the present moment, vague idea, what is God; practically no idea. What is their God? "God is good." They . . . sometimes they say: "God is great," but what is that God, how great He is, how He is good, nobody knows. So where is the question of ''hari-toṣaṇam''? If I do not know . . . somebody says that, "You go and satisfy Mr. Such-and-such, Mr. John." So I do not know who is Mr. John, where does he live, what does he do, then how can I satisfy him? This is the position.

So ''hari-toṣaṇam'' or ''bhagavat-paritoṣaṇam ''can be possible when we actually know what is God. Otherwise there is no question. So, so far we are concerned, Kṛṣṇa conscious devotees, we know who is God. Therefore this business is possible by us, not by others. We know what is God. We have no vague idea. We know who is God, where does He live, what does He do, His name, address, His father's name—everything we know. Therefore we can satisfy. We are competent to satisfy because we know exactly who is God. That is Kṛṣṇa, ''Kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam'' ([[SB 1.3.28|SB 1.3.28]]). How do you know that Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead? Yes. By history, by authority, by His action, everything complete. We know historical . . . from historical point of view, Kṛṣṇa is there in the ''Mahābhārata. Mahābhārata'' means, "The history of great India." ''Mahā'' means great. So greater India. Greater India, this is history, ''Itihāsa. Itihāsa'' means history. So there is Kṛṣṇa, in the ''itihāsa'', in the history. In the ''Vedas'' also, there is name of Kṛṣṇa. In the ''Yajur Veda'', there is name of Kṛṣṇa and His father's name, Vasudeva. Everything is there. And besides that, Kṛṣṇa appeared as He is five thousand years ago, and He acted as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. So where is the difficulty to understand Kṛṣṇa?

''Aiśvaryasya samagrasya vīryasya yaśasaḥ śriyaḥ'' (''Viṣṇu Purāṇa'' 6.5.47)—everything complied. Kṛṣṇa, the richest personality, the most beautiful personality, the most wise. He has given the ''Bhagavad-gītā''. Apart from other instruction, the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is there. Who has given such wise instruction throughout the whole world, throughout the whole universe? Nobody has given. God means the wisest, the richest, the most powerful, the most beautiful. So He was so beautiful that 16,108 very, very beautiful women . . . and this is married. And unmarried, many millions, they were attracted by Kṛṣṇa, the most beautiful. Śyāmasundara. His name is ''sundara'', "Very beautiful." Although ''śyāma'', blackish, still He's so attractive.

''Kandarpa-koṭi-kamanīya-viśeṣa-śobham'' (Bs. 5.30). ''Kandarpa-koṭi''. He's so beautiful that He can surpass in His beauty the Cupids, millions and millions of Cupids. His name is Madana-mohana. Madana-mohana. Madana is Cupid. Cupid enchants everyone, but he is enchanted by Kṛṣṇa. Therefore His name is.

So ''bhagavat-toṣaṇam'', we must know first of all who is God, who is Bhagavān. So ''śāstra'' says, authority says, and history says. What more proof you want? Huh? What more proof? Is there anyone to challenge Kṛṣṇa? Everything is there. Still, why you are searching after God? This is foolishness. This is foolishness. Owls', owls' philosophy. Owls' philosophy . . . the owl will not open the eyes to see the sun. Just open your eyes, you see, this here is sun. "No, there is no sun." This is owls' philosophy. Close the eyes; meditate. And the God is here, "No, I'll not open my eyes."

So we do not follow this philosophy, owls' philosophy. We follow real philosophy. What is that real philosophy? ''Śruti-pramāṇam'', evidence from the ''Vedas'', history, ''aitihya-pramāṇa'', history. And ''anumāna-pramāṇa''. There are many: ''pratyakṣa, anumāna, aitihya ''. . . so out of that, there are so many evidential processes, but according to followers of the Vedic principle, their process is ''śruti-pramāṇam. Śruti-pramāṇam'' means if it is mentioned in the ''Vedas, Upaniṣad'', then it is ''pramāṇam''. ''Śruti-pramāṇam''. So ''Vedas'', there are four ''Vedas'' and 108 ''Upaniṣads'', and then eighteen ''Purāṇas'', then this ''Mahābhārata''. So all these are Vedic literatures. Śrīmad Madhvācārya describes them, these are Vedic literature. Not only the four ''Vedas—Sāma, Yajur, Ṛg, Atharva''—but expansion of ''Vedas''. ''Purāṇas'', they are also ''Vedas''.

So in the ''Purāṇa'', in the history, in the ''Vedas'', by the authorities. Just like Brahmā, the best authority because he is the first living being created within the universe. ''Ādi-puruṣa'' . . . not ''ādi-puruṣa''; ''ādi-kavi. Ādi-puruṣa'' is Kṛṣṇa. Brahmā is ''ādi-kavi'', the original learned scholar. So our theory of creation means first of all Brahmā is created. So Brahmā is called ''ādi-kavi. Tene brahma hṛdā ya ādi-kavaye'' ([[SB 1.1.1|SB 1.1.1]]). ''Ādi-kavaye'' means Brahmā. So Brahmā's knowledge, what does he say? Brahmā says, ''govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi''. Brahmā says Govinda, Kṛṣṇa. ''Cintāmaṇi-prakara-sadmasu kalpa-vṛkṣa-lakṣāvṛteṣu surabhīr abhipālayantam'' (Bs. 5.29). He's giving description about Kṛṣṇa in the ''Brahma-saṁhitā''. And the description of Kṛṣṇa's abode: ''cintāmaṇi-prakara-sadmasu kalpa-vṛkṣa-lakṣāvṛteṣu surabhīr abhipālayantam''. Everything is there. This is authority, ''śruti''. Kṛṣṇa is very much fond of tending cows. ''Surabhīr abhipālayantam. Cintāmaṇi-prakara-sadmasu''. He has got His abode, Goloka Vṛndāvana, where the residential houses are made of ''cintāmaṇi'', touchstone. Touchstone, we have heard the description: touchstone means the stone which you touch to the iron, and the iron becomes gold. So such touchstone, they're used as brick. ''Cintāmaṇi-prakara-sadmasu kalpa-vṛkṣa-lakṣāvṛteṣu'' (Bs. 5.29).

And ''kalpa-vṛkṣa''. This is Kṛṣṇa's abode. They are not like this. They are all spiritual. Here it is, everything is material, but there is spiritual touch. That spiritual touch we are describing in the ''Bhagavad-gītā, bījo 'haṁ sarva-bhūtānām'' ([[BG 7.10 (1972)|BG 7.10]]). Without spiritual touch, there is no question of material manifestation. That is not possible. This body, your body, my body, this is material—everyone knows. It is made of earth, air, water, fire, like that. But how it is manifested? How the beautiful body is manifested? Because there is spiritual touch. The spirit soul is there. ''Dehino 'smin yathā dehe kaumāraṁ yauvanaṁ jarā tathā ''. . . ([[BG 2.13 (1972)|BG 2.13]]). This external body is changing, but it is forming on account of that spiritual touch. That spiritual touch means Kṛṣṇa. ''Bījo 'haṁ sarva-bhūtānām''. So therefore the origin of everything is Kṛṣṇa. Just like the origin of a big tree is the root. Similarly, Kṛṣṇa is the ''ādi-puruṣam. Govindam ādi-puruṣam, sarva-kāraṇa-kāraṇam'' (Bs. 5.1). Just like in the tree there are trunks, branches, twigs, sub-branches, leaves, flowers, so many things. But the cause is the root.

So here it is said that ''hari-toṣaṇam. Bhagavat-paritoṣaṇam'' ([[SB 1.5.35|SB 1.5.35]]). The root must be satisfied. If you want to maintain the tree, then the root, or the original cause of the tree, should be satisfied. Then everything is satisfied. So here in this material world they are trying to be happy, but they do not know how to become happy. They are put into the ocean of nescience. May be very expert swimmer, but simply swimming will not save you. You must know how to save. So here it is said, ''yad atra kriyate karma''. Everyone is doing something. ''Vaidikī laukikī vāpi'' (''Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu'' 1.2.200). There are two kinds of ''karmas''. ''Vaidikī'' means according to the Vedic rituals. Performance of big, big sacrifices and so many other, that is called ''vaidikī''. And ''laukikī'' . . . just like we have got good experience nowadays: there are so many activities, factories, mills, and scientific research work, so many. This is ''laukikī''. So Kṛṣṇa does not say . . . yes. Sūta Gosvāmī does not say that simply by ''vaidikī'' activities, big, big ritualistic ceremonies, you can be happy. You can be happy even by ''laukikī''. ''Laukikī ''mean these material activities. Generally, people understand, big, big factories nowadays, or agriculture or anything, there are ''laukikī''. ''Laukikī'' means for maintenance of the body. So Nārada Muni recommends that ''yad atra'', anything you are doing, ''kriyate. Atra'' means in this material world. ''Atra. Yad atra kriyate karma bhagavat-paritoṣaṇam'' ([[SB 1.5.35|SB 1.5.35]]). It doesn't matter that you do not understand these Vedic rituals, but you want to develop the economic position of your country by industrial enterprises. Yes, that is also good. That is also good. How? ''Bhagavat-paritoṣaṇam''. If it is conducted for the satisfaction of Kṛṣṇa, then it is good.

So our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement does not say you stop anything. No. Whatever you have got liking, you can do, but ''bhagavat-paritoṣaṇam'': by your work you try to satisfy Kṛṣṇa. This is our proposal. We do not say the negative, stop. No. And it is confirmed in the ''śāstras, ataḥ pumbhir dvija-śreṣṭhāḥ'' . . . generally, according to Vedic principle, there are four division of ''karma''. ''Varṇāśrama'' . . . not four, eight division, according to ''varṇa ''and ''āśrama. Ataḥ pumbhir dvija-śreṣṭhā varṇāśrama-vibhāgaśaḥ''. The division of work must be there; otherwise the society cannot go on very nicely. If everyone is ''brāhmaṇa'', not interested in anything material or simply . . . because it is, after all, material world. If everyone becomes ''brāhmaṇa'', no it will not go. There must be others. ''Kṣatriyas'' means the statesman, protector, politician, diplomat. ''Kṣatriyas''. And there must be ''vaiśyas'' also, productive class of men. They must produce. Economic development, that is also required. Otherwise, how human society will go on? Not only intelligent class of men—the protector class of men, the productive class of men and the worker class of men. Suppose we are constructing this temple. If we devotees remain "Hare Kṛṣṇa," then who will construct this temple? Everything is required. We do not say this, "Stop this" or "Stop that." No.

So that division, different division, is scientifically made in the Vedic conception of life, ''varṇāśrama'': four ''varṇas ''and four ''āśramas. Āśrama'' for spiritual advancement and ''varṇas ''for material advancement. So we want both of them, because our life is combination of spirit and matter. It is not that . . . to make the best use of a bad bargain. Suppose you have got a car. It is not very good car. It's not American car, but Ambassador. (laughter) Thrice breaks. But you have to utilize it. Bad bargain. Similarly, some way or other, we have got this material body; we cannot neglect it. We don't say that, "Neglect. Don't care for the body." No. Why?

That is the instruction of the Gosvāmīs: ''anāsaktasya viṣayān yathārham upayuñjataḥ'' (''Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu'' 1.2.255). Don't be attached to the bodily demands. Bodily demands means eating, sleeping, sex life and defending. These are bodily demands. So if we say that "I am not this body, so I don't care for this eating, sleeping . . ." no. That is not. It is not ''vairāgya''. This kind of renunciation is not recommended by our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, the Gosvāmīs recommend ''anāsaktasya viṣayān''. You do not be attached to the demands of the body, but you utilize it for advancing in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Eating is required. If you don't eat nicely, then body cannot be maintained. But ''anāsaktasya viṣayān yathārham'' (''Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu'' 1.2.255). Eating is required, but not eating too much—not eating to the taste of the tongue, unnecessarily eating meat, fish, eggs. Why? You are human being. For you, Kṛṣṇa has given so much varieties of foodstuff: fruits, vegetables, nice rice, ''ḍāl'', milk, ''ghee''. Why should you go to the meat-eating? This is required. You eat like human being, not like cats and dogs. But eating is not prohibited. That is not our philosophy. Don't eat like cats and dogs, but eat like human being.

Similarly, sleeping also. Sleep; you require some rest. But don't sleep twenty-six hours. Not like that. Utmost six hours to eight hours, sufficient for any healthy man. Even the doctor says, if anyone sleeps more than eight hours, he is diseased. He must be weak. Healthy man sleeps at a stretch six hours. That is sufficient. That's all. And those who are ''tapasvīs'', they should reduce sleeping also. Just like the Gosvāmīs did: only one and a half hour or utmost two hours. That also sometimes not. Actually, we should reduce this. ''Nidrāhāra-vihārakādi-vijitau''. This is ''gosvāmī. Gosvāmī'' does not mean ''go-dāsa''. ''Go'' means senses, and ''dāsa'' means servant. If we keep the title ''gosvāmī ''and become servant of the senses, it is cheating. You must be ''gosvāmī'', means you must be master of the senses. Self-control. So what the Gosvāmīs did? ''Nidrāhāra-vihārakādi-vijitau cātyanta-dīnau ca yau''. Very humble and . . ''. Nidrā ''means sleeping, ''āhāra ''means eating and ''vihāra ''means sense enjoyment. ''Vijitau'', they conquered over.

So our process is to follow the Gosvāmīs. ''Ei chay gosāi yāṅr tāṅr mui dās''. So we should try to follow the Gosvāmīs. We should keep in view what they did. They used to, I mean to say, pass their time in ''kṛṣṇotkīrtana-gāna-nartana-parau. Kṛṣṇotkīrtana-gāna-nartana-parau premāmṛtāmbho-nidhī dhīrādhīra-jana-priyau. Dhīrādhīra''. There are two classes of men in the world: ''dhīra ''and ''adhīra''. ''Dhīra ''means saintly persons, sober, those who have controlled their senses, ''gosvāmīs''. And ''adhīra'', just the opposite. So these Gosvāmīs, six Gosvāmīs, they were popular to the both classes of men, ''dhīra'' and ''adhīra''. Their character was so sublime, nice, that even in this Vṛndāvana when Sanātana Gosvāmī was there, the village men, they would accept Sanātana Gosvāmī as the leader of the village. Actually, they were leader. But to pose himself as leader, but cannot control others, ''gaya mane mora āpni moro''. Not like that. He must able be to lead them. So although Sanātana Gosvāmī was interested ''kṛṣṇotkīrtana-gāna-nartana-parau'', he was not disinterested with others who were not devotees. They were also interested. Not interested, but sympathetic. They were not interested with the materialists, but the ordinary householders, they would fight, husband and wife, and come to Sanātana Gosvāmī for settlement. And whatever Sanātana Gosvāmī would give judgment, they will accept. They will accept. He was . . . they were very popular, Gosvāmīs. And they were staying sometimes here, sometimes there, sometimes Rādhā-kuṇḍa, sometimes . . . they were not staying in one place.

So our this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, its only aim is how to satisfy Kṛṣṇa. Method, that is intelligence: What method we should accept so that our this process of, or the propaganda of Kṛṣṇa consciousness may go on very nicely. The process should be only to satisfy Kṛṣṇa, ''hari-toṣaṇam''. That is the recommended Vedic process.

:''ataḥ pumbhir dvija-śreṣṭhā''
:''varṇāśrama-vibhāgaśaḥ''
:''svanuṣṭhitasya dharmasya''
:''saṁsiddhir hari-toṣaṇam''
:([[SB 1.2.13|SB 1.2.13]])

''Saṁsiddhi ''means perfection. So perfection, if we want perfection of our activities, then we shall try to satisfy by our activity the Supreme Personality of Godhead. You may say that, "I do not see the Supreme Personality of Godhead face-to-face. How I shall be able to know that I am satisfying or dissatisfying Him?" That you can know through your spiritual master. It is not very difficult. If your spiritual master is satisfied, then you should know that Kṛṣṇa is satisfied. ''Yasya prasādād bhagavat-prasādaḥ''. There is no difficulty. ''Yasyāprasādān na gatiḥ kuto 'pi''. You cannot satisfy Kṛṣṇa by dissatisfying your spiritual master. That is not possible. That is not possible. You must satisfy. ''Yasya prasādād bhagavat-prasādaḥ''. Do not take the excuse that, "I do not know God. I do not meet Him. How I shall know that I have satisfied Him or dissatisfied Him?" No. ''Śāstra ''says: "Yes . . ." It doesn't matter. Therefore it is called ''paramparā. Paramparā''. As you receive the knowledge from Kṛṣṇa, from Arjuna and from Nārada, from Brahmā, like that, come down to your spiritual master, similarly, as you receive the knowledge step by step, one after another, similarly, you satisfy also the Supreme Personality of Godhead from this step, this step, this step, this step. This is the process. Just like you come down step by step by step by step, similarly you go up step by step by step by step.

So this is the process, ''bhagavat-toṣaṇam'' or ''hari-toṣaṇam''. Also this way. And to receive the knowledge from Bhagavān, that is also ''paramparā ''system. The ''paramparā ''system must be maintained, and if it is done nicely, then as it is stated here, ''yad atra kriyate'' ([[SB 1.5.35|SB 1.5.35]]), whatever you do, that is for your perfection. If you keep this ''paramparā'' system and if you try to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead, then whatever you do, that is perfection. It doesn't matter. The test is whether Kṛṣṇa is satisfied, whether your spiritual master is satisfied. Then you are perfect.

Thank you very much.

Devotees: ''Jaya''. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. (end)

Prabhupāda:

:''kecit kevalayā bhaktyā''
:''vāsudeva-parāyaṇāḥ''
:''aghaṁ dhunvanti kārtsnyena''
:''nīhāram iva bhāskaraḥ''
:([[SB 6.1.15|SB 6.1.15]])

(Only a rare person who has adopted complete, unalloyed devotional service to Kṛṣṇa can uproot the weeds of sinful actions with no possibility that they will revive. He can do this simply by discharging devotional service, just as the sun can immediately dissipate fog by its rays.)

This language of ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam''—perfect. We should always remember that these wordings of ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'', they are not ordinary sounds. They are transcendental sounds, just like Hare Kṛṣṇa, this sound is transcendental sound. This is vibrated in the spiritual sky, but by the spiritual process the sound is received here. In the present day, as you receive sound from a distant place by radio machine, wireless or telegram, like that, so it is possible to receive the sound vibration in the spiritual sky. You should simply know the process, or you should have a suitable machine to receive it.

So this ''śabda-brahma . . . Brahma'' means spiritual, the all-pervading. The material sound that vibrates, any sound that you produce, immediately it rotates seven times over this earth, and if you have got a machine, you can catch it. Similarly, there is process to catch the transcendental vibration from the spiritual sky. Śrī Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura therefore prays, ''golokera prema-dhana, hari-nāma-saṅkīrtana.'' This ''saṅkīrtana'' movement is descended from the spiritual sky, ''golokera prema-dhana,'' and by this sound vibration the devotees, devotees, develop their love of God. Therefore Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura says this is a gift of the spiritual sky: ''golokera prema-dhana. Hari-nāma-saṅkīrtana.'' This ''hari-nāma''—Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, this is called ''hari-nāma. Nāma'' means "name." ''Saṅkīrtana. Saṅkīrtana'' means just like we are assembled here, many boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, and conjointly we are chanting. This is called ''saṅkīrtana. Bahubhir militvā kīrtayati''. It is ''saṅkīrtana''. When many persons assemble together and chant the glorification of the Lord, that is called ''saṅkīrtana'', and Caitanya Mahāprabhu says, ''paraṁ vijayate śrī-kṛṣṇa-saṅkīrtanam.''

So this ''saṅkīrtana, golokera prema-dhana'': this is a gift from the spiritual sky. So Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura says:

:''golokera prema-dhana, ''
:''hari-nāma-saṅkīrtana,''
:''rati nā janmilo kene tāya''
:(''Iṣṭa-deve Vijñapti'')

He is lamenting that, "This spiritual sound vibration is so nice that it can give us relief from these material pangs, but I have no attraction for them." ''Rati nā janmilo kene tāya''. "Why I'm not attracted?" ''Viṣānale, divā-niśi hiyā jvale'': he says that "In the material existence, my heart is always burning." Everyone who is engaged in material activities, full of anxieties and hard warning. There is no doubt about it. Nobody can say: "Oh, I am very well situated." No, he is not well situated; therefore he is trying to be well situated by some artificial means of intoxication. That's all. He wants to divert his attention, but that is not perfect. Just like if you remain in the fire, you cannot avoid the temperature. So the only means is, as Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura says, that so long you are engaged in chanting and making these transcendental vibrations, then you'll feel comfortable; otherwise it is not.

So here it is stated, our subject matter is sinful activities and how to check them. If we do not check, if we do not become free from sinful activities, then we will have to undergo this cycle of birth and death. That is our problem. But foolish people, they do not understand this, that what is the problem of life. The problem of life is not to live very so-called comfortably for twenty years or fifty years. No. You are eternal, you have to search out the ways by which you can be eternally situated in comfortable life. That is your problem. Not that for the time-being you are feeling artificially. It is not at all comfortable, because in the material world nobody can be comfortable. It is impossible. The threefold miseries are always troubling us, but because we are fools we are thinking that we are comfortable. We are not comfortable at all. The ''adhyātmic'', the miseries inflicted by natural influence—excessive heat, excessive cold, ''śītoṣṇa-sukha-duḥkha-dāḥ'' ([[BG 2.14 (1972)|BG 2.14]])—these are practical.

What you will do? You make a very nice apartment, but as soon as there is excessive cold, you feel uncomfortable or you have to arrange for heating or do something. So nature is always troubling you, either by excessive heat or either by excessive cold or by some by natural disturbance—some earthquake, some famine, some pestilence; then there are bodily disturbances, disease, mental disturbances. So many people are suffering from mental diseases, especially in this country. (laughter) Yes. Psychiatrists and psychologists—they are taking advantage.

So the mental disturbances, bodily disturbances, nature's disturbances, your neighbors' disturbances—if not . . . they'll pick up some quarrel with you. The animals, the other animals, living entities—the ants, the birds, the tigers, the dogs, so many—we are always with disturbances. That we cannot understand; we are thinking falsely. This is called ''māyā''. Actually we are not in . . . we are not in peace, but ''māyā'' is dictating, "Oh, you are very comfortable," and he's accepting, " Oh, I'm very comfortable." Yes. This is your problem. So if you want to solve your problem for good, then these are the formulas we have described. What is that?

''Tapasya'': you have to undergo austerities; you have to follow the restricted sex life—''brahmacaryeṇa. Śamena''—controlling the mind, controlling the senses. Then ''tyāgena'', by renunciation, ''tyāgena. Satya-śaucābhyāṁ''—by cleanliness, by truthfulness. ''Yamena, niyamena vā''. So many formulas there are. If you do not follow this, then there is no excuse. Nature will not excuse you, he'll put you always in trouble.

There are 8,400,000 species of life we will have to . . . sometimes we are very comfortable, Americans, and sometimes something else, something else, something else. So this is troublesome. We do not know—we forget. Our past lives we have forgotten since we have got this body; similarly, when you get another body we shall forget. But each life is a chapter of suffering, that's all—different kinds of suffering. So if you actually anxious to make a solution of your life, then you have to follow the rules and regulations of life. The books are the Vedic regulations, Vedic culture, scriptures. They are there to guide you. They are not meant for animals; they are meant for human society. Because they have got developed consciousness they can accept it, they can follow it. If a man wants to become very good man, he can become; he has got the capacity. So these are the processes recommended. So:

:''deha-vāg-buddhijaṁ dhīrā''
:''dharmajñāḥ śraddhayānvitāḥ''
:''kṣipanty aghaṁ mahad api''
:''veṇu-gulmam ivānalaḥ''
:([[SB 6.1.13-14|SB 6.1.14]])

So knowingly or unknowingly we are put into such a condition that knowingly or unknowingly we have to commit something which is not very favorable for our future. But those who are cautious . . . the same example: just like you are cautious while traveling, while, I mean to say, driving in your car on the road you are very cautious. You stop your car when there is red light; you turn according to the direction; you don't violate the laws. In a street you have to follow so many rules. In a street, for a few minutes if you drive, you have to follow some . . . and you have no routine work for your life? Do you think like that? You are so irresponsible? Just try to understand: in a street for a few min . . . ten minutes if you drive you have to follow so many rules and regulations. It is a ten-minutes' affair. And throughout your whole life you are irresponsible—you will not follow any rules and regulations? Is that very nice proposal? Is good intelligence? Huh? No—you have to. So Śukadeva Goswāmī recommends that there are so many rules and regulations, which is difficult also to follow, especially in this age, Kali-yuga. We are in this age very much irresponsible.

:''prāyeṇālpāyuṣaḥ sabhya''
:''kalāv asmin yuge janāḥ ''
:([[SB 1.1.10|SB 1.1.10]])

First of all, our life is very short; we are not living for many days. Our forefathers lived for a hundred years at least, but we are living fifty, sixty, average. In our India our the average age is thirty-five years, and I do not know what is the average age in your country. Because you are prosperous, your duration of life may be average greater than India. But either you may . . . your average may be fifty or sixty years, ours may be thirty-five years, so the average years of living is reducing in this Kali-yuga. Actually in this age one should live at least one hundred years, but because we do not follow hygienic rules, do not live nicely, extravagantly, therefore the duration of life is reduced. And we are proud that we are improving. We are proud of our so-called scientific education that is improving. What you are improving? You cannot live even for hundred years. So this is called ''māyā''. Actually we are decreasing, but we are thinking improving.

So ''kalāv asmin yuge janāḥ, alpāyuṣaḥ.'' And gradually the duration of life will be reduced to twenty to thirty years. These are all stated in the ''śāstras. Śāstra'' means which is correct to the point. Just like this ''śāstra, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'', it was compiled five thousand years ago, but the statements which are there, they are correct to the point, without any mistake, without any illusion. That is called ''śāstra''. There cannot be any mistake. Just like in the ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'' you'll find that in the beginning of this age Lord Buddha will appear: ''kīkaṭeṣu bhaviṣyati'' ([[SB 1.3.24|SB 1.3.24]]).

''Bhaviṣyati'' means "In future," because this book was written, or compiled, five thousand years ago, and Lord Buddha appeared 2,600 years ago. So therefore at that time it is future, ''bhaviṣyati''. He says, Vyāsadeva says, that in future, ''kīkaṭeṣu'', in the province known as Gayā Pradesh, Lord Buddha will appear, and his father's name is this and his mother's name is this. This is called ''śāstra''. So we have to follow this ''śāstra'', which is beyond the deception of our material life. We have got four kinds of deceptions, deficiencies, we conditioned souls; but those who are liberated, they are above this—transcendental life.

So in this age life is very short and nobody is very responsible, how to fulfill the mission of life. They are imitating simply animals. This human life is meant for elevating ourselves, either you elevate to further comfortable life within this material world. In this . . . within this material world there are comfortable life. Comfortable life means thousands and thousands of better conditions of life than on this planet. If you go to the moon planet, if you go to the sun planet, if you go to the Mahar-loka, Jana-loka, Tapa-loka, Siddha loka, Brahma-loka—there is so many. So you can elevate there also. And those who are intelligent, they are not concerned either for living hundred of years or hundred thousands of years. They want to live perpetually, eternally. That is intelligence. Because I am eternal: ''na hanyate hanyamāne śarīre'' ([[BG 2.20 (1972)|BG 2.20]]).

I will not die. Not I, every one of us—nobody will die. ''Na jāyate mriyate'' ([[BG 2.20 (1972)|BG 2.20]]). We have no death, no birth; simply we are changing this body just like we daily change our dress. So one has to stop. This is perfection of life. This repetition we don't like. Suppose if somebody comes and asks you, "Please die immediately. I shall give you a body of King George V," or something like that. Would you like to? Would you agree? Why? If the promise is that "You give up this body, and I will give you another body, a king's body or a demigod's body, or you will live for one thousand years or one million years." So perhaps we may agree that, but we are not agreeable to give up this body immediately, because we do not like. That is our natural instinct. We do not wish to die; therefore we are afraid of death. We do not like to change, because we are eternal. That is the reason. The background is because we are eternal, therefore we do not wish to change. We want to build . . . the scientists are trying to live forever. They say that, "By science we shall make everyone living for good." But that is not possible. If you want to live for good, in blissful life and full of knowledge, then you have to transfer yourself from this material world to the spiritual world. There it is worth it. There your natural life, ''mad-dhāma gatvā punar janma na vidyate.'' The ''Bhagavad-gītā'' says: "Anyone who comes to Me, he does not come back again on this material world." ''Duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam'' ([[BG 8.15 (1972)|BG 8.15]]): this material world is full of miseries and also temporary.

Even if you accept all life style, "Let me live here for good, even it is miserable," that will also not be allowed. That will also not be allowed—temporary, ''duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam'' ([[BG 8.15 (1972)|BG 8.15]]). ''Aśāśvatam'' means "temporary." For a few years you can live, either in this planet or that planet.

So these are the problems. So we should not be irresponsible. But in this age people are very irresponsible. ''Prāyeṇālpāyuṣaḥ'', short-living; ''mandāḥ. Mandāḥ'', means "slow"; he does not understand that, "I have got a responsibility. I must quickly finish that responsibility before the death comes. Before the next death comes I must prepare myself in such a way that I will not have to come back again to this material world, miserable world." That is your responsibility. But we are callous: "All right, let it become what it is." ''Mandāḥ sumanda-matayo'' ([[SB 1.1.10|SB 1.1.10]]).

''Sumanda-matayo''. If anyone is anxious to make perfection of life, there are so many pseudo, cheaters, who will mislead you, ''mandāḥ sumanda-matayo.''

''Manda-bhāgyā'': the unfortunate. Nobody is fortunate in this age. They do not know what is fortunate life. ''Mandāḥ, manda-bhāgyā sumanda-matayo manda-bhāgyā hy upadrutāḥ''. And over all of this, everyone is disturbed. This is our position.

Therefore Caitanya Mahāprabhu has given you very nice formula: ''kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva gatir anyathā'' ([[CC Adi 17.21|CC Ādi 17.21]]).

In this age, in this Kali-yuga, you cannot perform . . . you cannot accept this ''tapasya''; you cannot perform the celibacy, life of . . . You cannot practice ''yoga'', you cannot control your mind, you cannot control your senses. This is your position. Therefore Caitanya Mahāprabhu says:

:''harer nāma harer nāma''
:''harer nāmaiva kevalam''
:''kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva''
:''nāsty eva gatir anyathā''
:([[CC Adi 17.21|CC Ādi 17.21]])

Simple method: simply try to pure . . . purify yourself by this transcendental vibration, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare . . . try to chant always, ''kīrtanīyaḥ sadā'' (''Śikṣāṣṭaka'' 3). This is the beginning of spiritual life, and this is the end of spiritual life. Not that at the end we shall have to give it up. No—the same method. It is so perfect that it is in the beginning perfect, and at the end it is also perfect. It is not that . . . there are so many means that you accept something in the beginning, but when you are perfect you give it up. Just like the Māyāvādī philosophy, there . . . just like the ''yoga'' system. When you are not perfect, you accept this ''yoga'' system of ''āsana, aṣṭāṅga''-''yoga'' system; ''prāṇāyāma'', sitting process, controlling the breathing exercise. But when you become perfect, you need not. You give up. But this process, chanting process, is so perfect that in the beginning of the chanting and when you are completely perfect you are transferred in the spiritual sky, there also the same process will go on—chanting. Hare Kṛṣṇa!

So Śukadeva Goswāmī recommends that those who are very intelligent, instead of taking to so many processes—''tapasya, brahmacarya, yama, niyama, satya-śauca'', so many things—then they will automatically come, if you take to this devotional process. Just like our all students, say one or two years before, they were not like this. They were taken to so many sinful activities. But since they've taking to this Kṛṣṇa consciousness, chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, now see their features, see their behavior, see their character, and you will be astonished. One press reporter, I think in Philadelphia, they saw our students, one, ah, she . . . responsible press reporter. She simply inquired, "Are you American boys?" She was astonished by seeing our results. She was astonished: "How this is being happen?" This process is so nice. She was astonished that how our American boys have become like this. So they practically see; don't be mislead. Practically see how easy to practice this method of ''saṅkīrtana'', Hare Kṛṣṇa, and how quickly it acts. This is a fact; this is not a story. We have got hundreds of students in different centers—just see their behavior, just see their face, how they are advancing. Therefore this is not a new thing. This is already there—but for this age. Just like in the drug shop the medicinal is already there, but an experienced physician prescribes the particular medicine that, "This is fit for you." Similarly this . . . don't think that this ''saṅkīrtana'' movement we have newly introduced. It is in the ''Purāṇas'' mentioned. But Caitanya Mahāprabhu, taking consideration of the fallen condition of this age, He has recommended this metho. . . medicine, "It is this for you." Not that it is newly invented. Nothing . . . we don't invent anything. This is called ''paramparā'' system. We accept the oldest thing. Don't think that we have manufactured something. For this reason I had many correspondences—you have seen also—with Dr. ''Staal'' of the California University. I protested, that, "This is not a new thing." He gave a suggestion that it may be a new thing. No. It is not new; it is the oldest.

So this oldest thing is recommended by Śukadeva Goswāmī. He said ''kaścit''. Mark this word. ''Kaścit, kaścit'' means "someone"; not for all. This method, this transcendental method of self-realization by ''bhakti''-''yoga'', it is not possible to accept by everyone. It is very difficult. In the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' Kṛṣṇa, Lord Kṛṣṇa, says, ''yeṣāṁ anta-gataṁ pāpaṁ'' ([[BG 7.28 (1972)|BG 7.28]]): anyone who has finished the all reactionary result of sinful life, ''yeṣāṁ anta-gataṁ pāpaṁ. Anta- gataṁ'' means "gone," "finished." ''Pāpaṁ''—sinful life. ''Yeṣāṁ anta-gataṁ pāpaṁ, janānāṁ puṇya-karmaṇām.'' And how one can become completely freed from the contamination of sinful life?

''Puṇya-karmaṇām'': he has to act piously, counteract. So counteracting, by counteracting with pious activities, when one is completely freed from the resultant action of sinful life, te, such persons, ''te dvandva-moha- nirmuktā'': without any doubt, without any hesitation.

:''te dvandva-moha-nirmuktā''
:''bhajante māṁ dṛḍha-vratāḥ''
:([[BG 7.28 (1972)|BG 7.28]])

They become fixed up in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and takes Kṛṣṇa as the life and soul. So this is very difficult; therefore this word is used ''kaścit'': not for all, but maybe one or two. But it is the mercy of Lord Caitanya that He has blessed the people of this age throughout the whole world, that "You take this and be happy." That is His special blessing. But actually this process is very difficult, ''kaścit''; therefore it is called ''kaścit''. Another prayer, passage, is there in the ''Bhagavad-gītā''—you read ''Bhagavad-gītā'' very carefully—wherein Kṛṣṇa says:

:''manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu''
:''kaścid yatati siddhaye''
:([[BG 7.3 (1972)|BG 7.3]])

''Kaścid'' and ''kaścit'' the same thing: "somebody." Who is that somebody? ''Sahasreṣu'': within many millions of persons. ''Kaścid yatati siddhaye.'' One understands the responsibility of his life and tries to make it perfect, ''kaścid yatati siddhaye. Siddhaye'' means "perfection." And ''yatatām api siddhānāṁ. Siddhā'' means you may try to become perfect, but that does not mean you have become perfect. If you fail, then you do not become perfect. But next line says, ''yatatām api siddhānāṁ'': after endeavoring for perfection of life, one, somebody who has already . . . who have already become perfect, out of them, somebody may understand what is Kṛṣṇa. So Kṛṣṇa understanding is not so easy.

:''manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu''
:''kaścid yatati siddhaye''
:''yatatām api siddhānāṁ''
:''kaścin māṁ vetti tattvataḥ''
:([[BG 7.3 (1972)|Bg 7.3]])

But because by the blessings of the Supreme Lord anyone can achieve anything, here is the blessing of Lord Caitanya, who is Kṛṣṇa Himself. He is very sympathetic with the fallen souls of this age. He understands that these people, these conditioned souls, cannot execute the regular process of perfection. Therefore He has bestowed His benediction that you simply chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and be perfect. That is the ''saṅkīrtana'' movement. But ''kaścid''—therefore although it is meant for a particular person out of many thousands of millions of persons, but still, by the blessings of Lord Caitanya, anyone can take it up. Anyone. It is freely being distributed. So ''kecit kevalayā bhaktyā.'' Śukadeva Goswāmī recommends that somebody takes to this ''bhakti''-''yoga'' process, ''kevalayā-bhakta. Bhakta'' means ''bhakti''-''yoga''. ''Kevalayā. Kevalayā'' means without any adulteration. Just like if I say "only milk," that means without any water, without any adulteration: "only this." "Only" means ''kevalayā''; "only." "Only" means pure, the pure of ''bhakta'', pure devotional service.

There are impure and pure everything; similarly this devotional service is pure and impure also. What is pure and impure? What is pure? That definition you will find in our ''Nectar of Devotion''. That definition is ''anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyaṁ'' (''Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu'' 1.1.11):

without any motive. Just like we sometimes go to God . . . naturally, generally you go to temple or church with a motive: "God, give us our daily bread." Or the Hindus or the Muslims they also go, "My dear Lord, I am in distress. Please give me relief." That is natural; there is a motive. But that, when one approaches God with a motive, that is not ''kevala''; that is impure, when there is motive. Motiveless. One should approach God simply out of love; that is ''kevala bhakta, kevalayā bhaktyā.''

''Anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyaṁ'': no desire. I'm going to God not with a desire. Why you should desire? Why you should go to God? Suppose you are in distress, so why should you express, " My dear Lord, I am in distressed condition"? God does not know that you are in distressed condition? He is already within your heart:

:''īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ''
:''hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati''
:([[BG 18.61 (1972)|BG 18.61]])

He knows better than you. So why, what is the use of expressing yourself, making business: "Please, Sir, I am distress. I have come to offer You some flower and fruit—please get me release, from?" God also does that, but what is the use of?

So when one is in perfect knowledge of God, he does not ask anything. If he is put into difficulty, he says, ''tat te 'nukampāṁ su-samīkṣamāṇo'' ([[SB 10.14.8|SB 10.14.8]]).

He takes that difficult position as mercy of God. That is ''kevala bhakta'', pure devotion. A pure devotee . . . sometimes devotees are also put into the difficulties, because this is . . . this platform is the platform of difficulties. So there is no, I mean to say, hesitation to say that, "No, a devotee will not be in difficulty." No. Just like Arjuna, a personal friend of Kṛṣṇa, but he was in difficulty—there was a fight between him and his brothers. So this world is full of difficulties, as I have already explained. But the devotee, when he's in difficulty, he does not express it. Just like see Arjuna: Arjuna never requested Kṛṣṇa that "My dear Kṛṣṇa, You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and we are in so much difficulties. You cannot give us relief?" No, you will never find. You will never find. He is . . . Kṛṣṇa is always with Arjuna, but you'll never find they have requested, "Kṛṣṇa, I am Your friend, and I am in so much difficulty." This is pure devotion, ''kevalayā bhakta''. I love God. God may give me any kind of trouble—I don't mind; I will suffer patiently. That is Caitanya Mahāprabhu's ''Śikṣāṣṭaka'' (8), those who have read.

:''āśliṣya vā pāda-ratāṁ pinaṣṭu mām''
:''marma-hatāṁ karotu vā''

"My dear Lord, You trample me down as You like, or You embrace me as You like, or You make me broken-hearted, not being present before me, because I want to see You. I don't mind." ''Yathā tathā vā vidadhātu lampaṭo''. Just like a debauched husband treats his wife very neglectfully. So He's using this very word: ''lampaṭo. Lampaṭo'' means debauched. So Caitanya Mahāprabhu offering this prayer, in the role of Rādhārāṇī. There were sometimes spoils between Kṛṣṇa and Rādhā, as that is possible in love affairs. So in the position of Rādhārāṇī He is requesting Kṛṣṇa, "My dear Kṛṣṇa, You can treat me in any way You like, either You love me or You trample me, You kick me, but I cannot forget You are my always unconditionally the Lord." This is pure love, not that "Kṛṣṇa, give me such and such things then I shall love You," condition. No. No condition: "I love you." That is love. So that is required. If you become situated in that pure love, without any motive, ''anyābhilāsita-sūnyam jñāna-karmādy-anāvrtam'' ([[CC Madhya 19.167|CC Madhya 19.167]]).

''Jñāna, jñāna'' means knowledge. If you want to know Kṛṣṇa by knowledge that, "I shall see Kṛṣṇa whether He is God or not," that is knowledge. "I want to understand Kṛṣṇa"—that also should be finished. I do not wish to know Kṛṣṇa what He is, whether He is God or whatever what He is, but I love Kṛṣṇa. That is the position of Vṛndāvana. They never try to understand what is Kṛṣṇa, but they love Kṛṣṇa. That's all. The ''gopīs'', the cowherds boys, they did not know whether Kṛṣṇa is God or . . . never cared to know it. But their love, profound love for Kṛṣṇa.

So ''jñāna-karma. Karma'' means that if we think that, "I am doing for Kṛṣṇa so much, so I must have this here," Kṛṣṇa will give you; but that is called ''karma. Karma'' means these people, these worldly people are working hard, they are called ''karmīs'', because they are expecting some good result for sense enjoyment. That is called ''karma''. They are not working hard for nothing. They expect something, reward. Similarly, you should not expect something in return of your love for God. That is called ''jñāna-karma. Ānukūlyena kṛṣṇānu-śīlanaṁ'' (''Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu.'' 1.1.11). ''Ānukūlyena'' means simply you have to satisfy Kṛṣṇa. That is the platform of the Vṛndāvana. They simply wanted to see that "Kṛṣṇa is very satisfied by my service," that's all.

:''ānukūlyena kṛṣṇānu-''
:''śīlanaṁ bhaktir uttamā''
:(''Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu''. 1.1.11)

This is pure devotion. So if you somehow or other become trained up to this pure devotional platform, then your problem is solved. All problem is solved. ''Ārādhito yadi haris tapasā tathā kim''. These are being from ''tapasā'', austerities. If you have developed your love for Kṛṣṇa there is no more necessity of austerities or this or that. Everything will automatically come. Therefore it is recommended ''kevala-bhakta, kecit kevalayā-bhaktyā''. And people may say—because there are so many rascals . . . (break) (end)

Prabhupāda: Mr. Allen, Ladies and Gentlemen, I thank you very much for your kindly inviting me to speak something about East and West. Of course, I have got considerable experience now because I am wandering East and West, not only once, at least twice, thrice in a year. So far Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is concerned, we have no such thing, East and West. Just like the sun rises from the eastern horizon and sets on the western horizon, but the sun is the same.

You cannot say that Eastern sun and the Western sun. That is not possible. The planet, this earthly planet, is moving, and we are considering that the sun is moving from east and west. The sun, sun is in his position. Similarly, this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement has no such distinction between East and West. If there is such distinction, it is due to lack of knowledge.

Why this lack of knowledge? Because we are under bodily concept of life. According to Kṛṣṇa culture, anyone who is going on under the bodily concept of life, he is not considered as a human being. It is said in the ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'':

:''yasyātma-buddhiḥ kuṇape tri-dhātuke''
:''sva-dhīḥ kalatrādiṣu bhauma ijya-dhīḥ''
:''yat tīrtha-buddhiḥ salile na karhicij''
:''janeṣu abhijñeṣu sa eva go-kharaḥ''
:([[SB 10.84.13|SB 10.84.13]])

''Go-kharaḥ. Go'' means cow, and ''kharaḥ'' means ass. Any person who is accepting this body as himself . . . just like generally we say, "What you are?" "I am Mr. Such-and-such. I am American," or "I am an Indian," or "African." This bodily designation. If I identify my self with this body, ''yasyātma-buddhiḥ kuṇape tri-dhātu . . . kuṇape'' means bag. This is a bag. This body is a bag of bones, flesh, urine, blood and so many other things.

You cannot manufacture a living entity by combination of bones, flesh, blood, urine and stool. That is not possible. You are great scientist—you are going to the moon planet—but if I give you some ingredients like this bones, flesh, stool, urine, can you manufacture a human being? Can you? Can anyone? Is there any scientist in the world who can manufacture a human being by combination of bones, flesh, blood, urine, stool? No. If it is not possible to manufacture, how you are identifying with this body, "I am this body"? Do you mean combination of bones and flesh can create such intelligent man? Just like in your country, George Washington—many scientists. In our country also, many big leaders, Mahatma Gandhi and others. Do you think that these men are combination of bag . . . combination-bag of bones and flesh and urine?

Therefore the ''śāstra'' says: ''yasyātma-buddhiḥ kuṇape tri-dhātuke'' ([[SB 10.84.13|SB 10.84.13]]). ''Tri-dhātuke''. This body is made of three elements, according to Āyur-vedic system: ''kapha pitta vāyu'', mucus, bile and air. So actually, the combination of this body is like that. As soon as the spirit soul goes out of this body, it is nothing but bone, flesh and urine and stool, and it has to be thrown away. In every society, as soon as the man is dead . . . so while he was living, he was acting so nicely, so intelligently. Now as soon as the soul is gone, immediately everything is gone. So do you think it is a combination of bones and flesh?

Any sane man will accept it? If you say that something is wanting for giving impetus of birth of life in this body, therefore the body's called dead, that is not a fact. Because after this body's dead, after the soul is gone out of the body, innumerable microbes will come out—decomposition. You cannot say the ingredients which give impetus to generation of life, that is lacking. It is not lacking. Because it is not lacking, therefore millions of other microbes are coming out. That is not a fact, that this is the ingredient of life substance. There are so many arguments.

So if there is any difference of East and West, this difference. The Eastern part of the world, especially India, the people know that, "I am not this body." And the Western part of the world, they do not know that, "I am not this body." That is the difference. That is the difference. That is the distinction between East and West. In India, go to a village and you ask him that, "What you are?" He will say, "Sir, I am suffering or enjoying according to my past ''karma''." Means, "I was living in the past. So according to my action, I am suffering or enjoying the reaction in this life." He believes in the transmigration of the soul. He believes in the future life also. He is very cautious to commit sin, because he knows that, "If I commit sin in this life, I'll have to suffer next life."

This is Eastern life. And in the Western country, I talked with so many big, big professors, especially in Moscow, I talked with Professor Kotovsky. He said: "Swāmījī, after death, the everything finished. After death, everything finished." This is the difference, East and West. In the Eastern country, especially in India, a common man will understand the existence of soul. And in the Western country, a topmost man, professor, he does not know what is soul. That is the difference.

Otherwise, so far your eating is concerned, it is same, either in Eastern country or Western country. You eat something on plate, or they also eat something. You sleep in nice apartment, they also sleep in something like that. You try to defend with your atomic weapons; they also try to defend. You also, after sex, the Eastern; Western, they are also after sex. Not only Eastern and Western; the animals, they are also after these things. ''Āhāra-nidrā-bhaya-maithunaṁ ca sāmānyam etad paśubhiḥ narāṇām'' (''Hitopadeśa'' 25). Eating, sleeping, sex life and defense—this is common to the animal and to the human being.

You may improve the cooking process or eating process but, after all, it is eating. Eating is meant for maintaining your body. That is done by the animals also. These things are not cultural advancement. Real cultural advancement is to know that "I am not this body; I am spirit soul." ''Ahaṁ brahmāsmi.'' That is the difference. So this education is in India, this ''Bhagavad-gītā''. The beginning of ''Bhagavad-gītā'', Kṛṣṇa says:

:''dehino 'smin yathā dehe''
:''kaumāraṁ yauvanaṁ jarā''
:''tathā dehāntaraṁ prāptir''
:''dhīras tatra na muhyati''
:([[BG 2.13 (1972)|BG 2.13]])

This is Eastern gift. So I have gone to the Western country to give this Eastern gift. And it is being accepted by your children. All these American, European boys, they're accepting it. Not only hundreds, but thousands. People say that, "Swāmījī, you are doing wonderful." I say I am not doing wonderful. I do not know any magic. I have no mystic power. But I am presenting actually the Eastern culture to the West. That's all. It is not unreasonable. Any child can understand that there is soul. One doctor in Canada, Montreal I think . . . what is the name of that medical prac . . .?

Devotee: Bigelow.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Bigelow.

Prabhupāda: So he is he's now speaking that there is soul. He's a cardiologist.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Dr. Bigelow.

Prabhupāda: Eh? Tell him, that man.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Doctor Bigelow.

Prabhupāda: So I had some correspondence with him, and he admitted, "Swāmījī, your people know much about these things than we know."

So there is no question of you and me. It is simply education. Just like these boys. Four or five years, ago, they did not know anything about this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. But because they have been educated with this ''Bhagavad-gītā'', they are also following me. And they are very sound in their conviction in this West . . . Eastern culture, Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Of course, from my part of view, I do not think there is any East and West. Any knowledge is meant for the whole world, any scientific knowledge. Just like Professor Einstein, if he discovered the law of relativity, it is not for the Western people; it is for the Eastern people also.

So there is no such question. When there is culture, when there is knowledge, there is no question of Eastern and Western. But the difference is the Eastern people may know something very nicely, and the Western people may take some time. Similarly, Western people may know something very nicely—the Eastern people may take little time. Just like for technology, they go to Western countries to learn how machine work. So they also learn it. In Eastern . . . in India, they're also learning. So now the time is ripe that we should not think in terms of Eastern and Western. We should be hankering after real knowledge. That is wanted. That is the point of unity.

Now, for lack of knowledge, the United Nation, they're also, the Eastern and Western people have gone to make a solution of the world problem. But they're unable. My next headquarter is New York. I go on the First Avenue. Most occasionally I see there is the United Nation Building. But instead of diminishing the flag, they're increasing. They're increasing. I do not know what is the meaning of this United Nation. Why? Big, big brain, big, big politicians, big, big learned scholar, and they are speaking. But why the nations are not united? It is . . . it is simply a show only. Because lack of knowledge. It is due to lack of knowledge.

What is that lack of knowledge? ''Yasyātma-buddhiḥ kuṇape tri-dhātuke'' ([[SB 10.84.13|SB 10.84.13]]). Everyone is thinking, "I am this body." They have gone to unite together, but their basic principle of knowledge is the same that, "I am this body." American, he's thinking, "I am this body, American." Russian, he's thinking, "I am this body, Russian." And they are fighting. Why the fighting? Due to this body. But if we understand this very simple thing that, "I am not this body," everything is united. So the lack of knowledge is there. How we'll be united, culturally or this way? It is not possible. The first lack of knowledge must be eradicated, that why you . . . why we are missing the point? This is the point.

''Asmin dehe'', in this body, there is the proprietor of the body. That is soul. ''Asmin dehe'', on this body, there is the proprietor of the body. This proprietor of the body constantly changing, different types of body. The example is given that ''kaumāraṁ yauvanaṁ jarā'', just like a child, he is changing his body to boyhood. The boy is changing his body to youthhood and young man is changing his body to old body. Similarly when the old man dies, he does not die, he accepts another body. This knowledge . . . ''dhīras tatra na muhyati''. One who is actually in knowledge, he is not surprised that a man is dead. He is not dead and the example is given that he has change your dress. Now some of you are present here with a coat - black color, you can change it tomorrow to white color. That does not make any difference that you are dead. Similarly when we change our body just like I was a baby, everyone knows. I remember that I had a little body, I remember at least, but that body is missing now. I remember that I was young man, I had a very youthful body but that is missing now. My elderly person, He may also . . . he may also know that he has changed his body but he is not dead. I know that I'm actually in my body, I simply changed my body but I am leaving, I remember the body. Similarly when we change our body, It does not mean that I am dead. ''tathā dehāntaraṁ prāptir. dhīras tatra na muhyati'' ([[BG 2.13 (1972)|BG 2.13]]). And further explained in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' that ''Na hanyate hanyamāne śarīre'' ([[BG 2.20 (1972)|BG 2.20]]). The living entity after the annihilation of this body does not dies. How it transmigrates? How this living entity transmigrates from one body to another by the subtle body. There is subtle body, this is gross body. The subtle body works when we are as . . . (indistinct)

We go outside my bedroom and we see so many things, we work in so many way that is subtle body. So after the destruction of this gross body, the subtle body carries me to another gross body. This is a great science. Great science, that it has explained very nicely in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' and other vedic literature.

So why do you scientists of the western country do not take this matter seriously. I was invited, to speak in Boston, the Massachusetts technical institute. So I first inquired, all the students, where is your technological department? When the body stops, you can again give vitality and it may work, where is that technology? So the student liked it and we had very nice discussion. So we are very much advanced in technology but we do not know, what is the technology of the soul transmigrating from one body to another, that is ignorance. That is ignorance. And this ignorance prevails in animals also. The animals do not know because they are not advanced in knowledge. But they have got also soul. Their soul is evolving or transmigrating from one body to another. There is a system ''jalajā nava-lakṣāṇi sthāvarā lakṣa-viṁśati''. From the aquatics because the whole world was merged into water, devastation. Therefore the beginning of living entities, the aquatics . . . from the aquatics, they come to the plants, trees. Then from plants,trees to insect, from insect to birds, then birds to beasts, from beasts to human being . . . (''sanskrit'') . . . they are all mentioned.

The evolutionary theory is not new thing as it is stated by darwin. It is there in the ''padma purana'' but it is very perfectly explained there. Darwin has not very perfectly explained. There are so many defects but the real thing is that the living entity soul is transmigrated from one body to another. And the chance of developed consciousness is human form of life. In this human form of life, if we do not understand, what I am, where from I have come, where I am going next, why I have taken this body subjected to so many miserable tribulations of life which I do not want. Ultimately all our miserable conditions have been summarized into four, birth, death, old age and disease. ''janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi duḥkha-doṣānudarśanam'' ([[BG 13.8-12 (1972)|BG 13.9]]).

We are trying to have . . . become happy by our scientific knowledge. By advancement of knowledge but Kṛṣṇa says that, "You cannot make any solution of these problems." What is that? Birth, death, old age and disease, that is not possible. So we are happy by false happiness, this is called ''Maya''. This is culture, this is Indian culture. They agree, there is a ''Maya''. This is eastern culture, ''Maya''. ''Maya'' means we are falsely happy, we are thinking that now I am well situated but I am not thinking any moment. Next moment I maybe kicked out of situation and everything finished. Why I am being kicked out? I want to stay here permanently, nobody wants to die. Why you die? You see. Where is the solution? This is lack of knowledge but there is solution. There is solution that is eastern culture. Eastern culture knows how to make this solution. Therefore you will find so many parties. The ''karmis'', the jnanis, the ''yogis'', the ''bhaktas'', they are all trying to make solution of this four problems. Birth, death, old age and disease. That is eastern duty. So now it is very . . . happy moment that Indo-American Society. I wish that the Indo-American Society should give a special stress to know why these four miserable conditions of life cannot be solved. And there is a solution. We can give you the solution. In the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' there is solution:

:''janma karma me divyaṁ''
:''yo jānāti tattvataḥ''
:''tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma''
:''naiti mām eti kaunteya''
:([[BG 4.9 (1972)|BG 4.9]])

That is culture. That is really business of the human being, that "I am put into this material condition of life. I am changing from one kind of body to another. Who knows that I am not going to become a tree next life?" But there is another species of life, like tree, like birds, like beasts. There is no guarantee. There is no scientific guarantee that, "You are not going to be tree, you are again going to become American." No, there is no guarantee. But there is guarantee. Because the so-called scientists cannot make solution of this problem, they do not believe in next life. That is their defect of knowledge, lack of knowledge. They cannot make any solution. He wants to live permanently, but he cannot live by the laws of nature. Why does he not make a solution of this? But we can give the solution. Everyone does not want to become old, but he becomes forced, forced to become old. Why he does not make any solution? But that solution we can give. This is Eastern culture.

So I request all you ladies and gentlemen to take this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. It is not a sentimental movement. It is a very authorized, scientific movement. You are all educated, advanced ladies and gentlemen. I'll request you to understand this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. The American boys, it is already we are combining East and West socially, politically, religiously, philosophically, economically—everything there is solution. But if you take it seriously. If you think this is a movement, sentimental move . . . it is not sentimental movement. It is a most scientific movement. Any scientist come to me, I can convince him that it is a scientific movement.

I asked similarly to Professor Kotovsky in Moscow that, "My dear Professor, what is the difference between your movement, Communist movement, and my movement? You, you have selected Lenin as God; I have selected Kṛṣṇa as God. Where is the difference of principle?" You cannot live without a leader, or God. I cannot live without a leader, or God. That's a fact. Then where is the difference? Now it is to be judged whether Lenin is good or Kṛṣṇa is good. That is another thing. But your position is that you have to accept one leader, either Lenin or Jawaharlal Nehru or Hitler or this or Lord Churchill. You have to accept. You cannot work independently. Therefore you have got so many parties. So here is also one party, Kṛṣṇa party. So where is the difference in philosophy? There is no difference in philosophy. Now let us study whether Kṛṣṇa party is good or Lenin party is good. Then whole solution is there.

Thank you very much. Hare Kṛṣṇa. (break)

(answering questions)

Yes.

(aside) It is not working.

(break) . . . eternal soul is there in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' that . . . that I have already explained: ''asmin dehe'', in this body there is the proprietor of the body. This is conception of soul. Just like whenever we see some apartment or house, we can understand that there is a resident or proprietor of this house. Similarly, we can understand, this body, there is some proprietor within this body. Therefore the body is working. If we see one house, nicely cleansed, there is light and everything is in order, we can understand there is resident. Similarly, when the proprietor of the body is there, the body is healthy . . .

(break) . . . that is the conception of existence of the soul. Nobody can deny it.

(break) . . . as soul without the body means ghost. (laughter) Yes, that's a fact. Ghost means he has got no gross body, but he's working with the subtle body. We have got two kinds of bodies. The gross body is made of five elements: earth, water, air, fire, sky. And the subtle body is made of intelligence, mind and ego. So when a soul does not get a gross body, he has to work with the subtle body. That is ghostly life. So ghostly life is not false. Those who are too . . . too much sinful, sometimes they are condemned not to get a gross body. Just like if a man commits suicide. So nature gave him this gross body. He misused it. Therefore he's punished sometimes not to get again gross body. He becomes ghost.

Guest: Isn't it the principle of human . . .

Prabhupāda: What is that?

(break) . . . means you accept another body. So long you are under the laws of ''karma'', you have to accept another body.

:''prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni''
:''guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśaḥ''
:''ahaṅkāra-vimūḍhātmā''
:''kartāham iti manyate''
:([[BG 3.27 (1972)|BG 3.27]])

Nature. You are desiring so many things in your life. They are recorded. And you have to accept each and every body, one after another. That is nature's gift. ''Prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni.'' That is the nature's work. As you desire, so you get a body. If you misuse the body, then for sometimes you are restrained not to get a gross body.

There are so many scientific problem about this life and transmigration of the soul. You can understand from the authorized Vedic literature how the soul transmigrates from one body to another. That is also explained. The soul remains with the subtle body, which we cannot see. But after destruction of this gross body, the soul is carried to another gross body according to his desire by the subtle body. The example is given—just like the flavor of flower garden is carried by the air, and if you do not . . . even though you do not see the flower, when you smell the good smell, you can understand where from the air is blowing. Similarly, according to your desire you get a body, and that desire, that capsule of mind, intelligence will carry you to another body. God will give you the chance. This is the process.

Guest: If that is the case, then . . .

(break)

Prabhupāda: . . . question. The ultimate goal of the soul is to reach God. That is the process. ''Na te viduḥ svārtha-gatiṁ hi viṣṇu''. They do not know what is the ultimate goal of life. The ultimate goal of life is to reach God. That is really culture. So people do not know it. They think, "My ultimate goal of life is to make some good bank balance." But that is not the ultimate goal of life. The bank balance will be finished as soon as you give up this body—your skyscraper building and bank balance, everything. Now according to your ''karma'', according to your desire—''karma'' means according to your desire—you'll have to accept another body. So these bodily activities, this possession of this body, will be finished with your death. Then you have to begin another chapter. It may be human being, or it may be demigod, or it may be animal. That is explained in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'':

:''yānti deva-vratā devān''
:''pitṟn yānti pitṛ-vratāḥ''
:''bhūtejyā yānti bhūtāni''
:''mad-yājino 'pi yānti mām''
:([[BG 9.25 (1972)|BG 9.25]])

So we have to accept another body. Therefore, our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is giving intelligence to the person that, "Here is your ultimate goal of life, Kṛṣṇa. Come here. Be trained up in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and go back to home, back to Godhead, Kṛṣṇa." This is our movement. That is the ultimate goal.

(break) . . . go somewhere. Because you are eternal. Simply by finishing your body, you will not finish. You have to go. But where you shall go? That you can plan in this life. And if you make this plan that, "I want to go back to home, back to Godhead . . ." The ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is there. You study. You cultivate this knowledge. And Kṛṣṇa says, ''tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti kaunteya'' ([[BG 4.9 (1972)|BG 4.9]]): "My dear Arjuna, such person who have developed Kṛṣṇa consciousness perfectly, after giving up this body, he does not accept any more material body." ''Tyaktvā deham''. "After giving up this body . . ." ''Tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti'' ([[BG 4.9 (1972)|BG 4.9]]). ''Janma'' means birth, means accepting another material body. Otherwise, the soul has no birth, no death. ''Na jāyate na mriyate vā''. The soul never takes birth or never dies. It is the body only. It takes birth and dies according to my ''karma''.

So if one becomes Kṛṣṇa consciousness . . . Kṛṣṇa conscious, the ultimate goal of life, then after giving up this body he does not accept any more any material body. Then what does he do? ''Mām eti'': "He comes to Me." This is the philosophy of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. This is the ultimate goal of life.

Guest: Can't the unity with God attain by any other religion?

Prabhupāda: Everyone. Don't you see this practically? They were all Christians, Jews, Muhammadans. How they are coming to Kṛṣṇa consciousness?

Guest: So is Kṛṣṇa consciousness the only method?

Prabhupāda: Yes. Kṛṣṇa conscious . . . you . . . maybe it in otherwise. But the aim is that there is God. We are part and parcel of God. Somehow or other, we are now separated. We must be united again. That is the life's business.

Guest: So any other religion also can give . . .

Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Why not? Any religion. We do not say that, "You practice this religion or that religion." We say: "Just try to go back to home, back to Godhead." That is our philosophy.

:''sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo''
:''yato bhaktir adhokṣaje''
:''ahaituky apratihatā''
:''yenātmā samprasīdati''
:([[SB 1.2.6|SB 1.2.6]])

If you want really happiness, then you follow such principles by which you can develop your love for God. So it does not mean . . . if you can do it in Christianity, that's all right. If you can do it by Muhammadan religion, that's all right. But the aim should be to go back to home, back to Godhead. That is our philosophy. (applause)

American gives short speech thanking Śrīla Prabhupāda: . . . (indistinct) . . . appreciated that . . . (indistinct) . . . that important thing . . . (indistinct) . . . the desire . . . (indistinct) . . . thank you very much. (applause)

Indian Man: Whether you are . . . (indistinct) . . . it's like a . . . (indistinct) . . . reach the moon as they say . . . (indistinct) . . . soul trying to meet the ocean, I feel to the . . . (indistinct) . . . thanking Prabhupāda for bringing . . . (indistinct) . . . thus away from material bondage that all times finds men in this planet. I . . . (indistinct) . . . that some say that you can always take the horse to the water but you may not able to make it rain.

Regarding up to devotion, Kṛṣṇa Consciousness as . . . (indistinct) . . . Prabhupāda. I think that it is good applicable in case of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness. Horse comes to the water, it has to . . . (indistinct) . . . such as the charm of nectar and as the charm of spiritual . . . (indistinct) . . . affair which we are blessed . . . (indistinct) . . . I remember to have . . . (indistinct) . . . in ''Bhagavad-gītā'' . . . (indistinct) . . . basic book in my time. One . . . (indistinct) . . . was said . . . (''sanskrit'' verse) . . . this is at times . . . (indistinct) . . . praised I feel good, when I am not praised, I ignored I think . . . (indistinct) . . . I am so dependant on the external circumstances.

What is the way out? Probably this is the question that i often got and I still think of it often but . . . (indistinct) . . . I still believe that it is a secret lesson, probably chanting of the name . . . (indistinct) . . . since anyone here who doesn't take care of . . . (indistinct) . . . in the sub-consciousness or in the conscious state . . . (indistinct) . . . come. When that . . . (indistinct) . . . away saying that this basic thought of trying to understand . . . (indistinct) . . . face the problems, certain amount of attachment with the practical problem of all of us. And . . . (indistinct) . . . which is . . . (indistinct) . . . I am a life member of the Kṛṣṇa Consciousness of . . . (indistinct) . . . Prabhupāda and I didn't go to it. As a matter of fact I went with some amount of thirst . . . (indistinct) . . . answers and leave it . . . (indistinct)

Probably I got, it's something one must feel and understand and know . . . (indistinct) . . . recovery must come from . . . (indistinct) . . . and one who has got it, knows it, thirst is there, . . . (indistinct) . . . is also there . . . (indistinct) . . . and I think in the parctical place . . . (indistinct) . . . they are really . . . (indistinct) . . . of attaining the same road. Probably . . . (indistinct) . . . aspect is ''yogi'' aspect for . . . (indistinct) . . . God is the end and also that means. In that way, how is Prabhupāda's teaching is awake . . . (indistinct) . . . of teaching. Kṛṣṇa Consciousness . . . (indistinct) . . . superior to others and that directly was . . . (indistinct) . . . it is probably little more simpler than other and I used to have come here, somebody will say, "Oh I am going to Prabhupāda's . . . (indistinct) . . ." And I . . . (indistinct) . . . I stay at . . . (indistinct) . . . street, I will go there by . . . (indistinct) . . . one may do it.

One will stay . . . (indistinct) . . . but as I was about to attend the first day electro . . . (indistinct) . . . oh we are going there on the 31st . . . (indistinct) . . . I only told and all . . . (indistinct) . . . that you are sure my friend that will be . . . (indistinct) . . . after 31st? I am not so sure . . . (''sanskrit'') . . . man is existing in debt of all kindness so I find that practical proposition . . . (indistinct) . . . as a devotee of humble devotee, I find that it gives great . . . (indistinct) . . . and training, its a practical . . . (indistinct) . . . probably you best needs . . . (indistinct) . . . because of one date here is even more, the material belongings, its true . . . (indistinct) . . . cannot build . . . (indistinct) . . . spiritual . . . (indistinct) . . . basis of stubborn that all the time practical . . . (indistinct) . . . but there are so many pluses and minuses . . . (indistinct) . . . are more . . . (indistinct) . . . maybe more . . . (indistinct) . . . i feel . . . (indistinct) . . . very much. We need . . . (indistinct) . . . blessings . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Hare Kṛṣṇa. (applause) (''kīrtana'') (end)

Prabhupāda: So we have been discussing ''Bhagavad-gītā''. In Second Chapter, the Lord has very elaborately explained the constitutional position of the living entity, and the whole first portion of the six chapters . . . the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is divided into three portions: the first six chapter, the second six chapters and the third six chapters. Actually, just like this book, there are two hard covers, and in the middle there is the substance, writing. So the first six chapters, they are just like two covering: ''karma''-''yoga'' and ''jñāna''-''yoga''. And the middle six chapters, well-protected, that is ''bhakti''-''yoga''.

So at the end of the first six chapters, Kṛṣṇa concludes the ''yoga'' system. In the Sixth Chapter He has explained the ''sāṅkhya''-''yoga'' system, and the concluding portion of the ''sāṅkhya''-''yoga'' system is:

:''yoginām api sarveṣāṁ''
:''mad-gatenāntar-ātmanā''
:''śraddhāvān bhajate yo māṁ''
:''sa me yuktatamo mataḥ''
:([[BG 6.47 (1972)|BG 6.47]])

This is the conclusion of the ''yoga'' system. People, generally, they are attracted by the ''yoga'' system. So the ''yoga'' system means always thinking of Kṛṣṇa. That is ''samādhi''.

So five thousand years ago, when . . . (pause) (sound of fireworks)

Five thousand years ago, when this ''yoga'' system was discussed between Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna, Arjuna frankly admitted that this system was very difficult for him. He thought himself as a ''gṛhastha'' and a military man, so concentration of the mind and sitting in a posture and looking on the point of the nose, so many system—find out a secluded place, alone, and observing so many rules and regulation, ''āsana, dhyāna, dhāraṇā, prāṇāyāma''—so he thought it difficult for him. Therefore Kṛṣṇa, in order to encourage him, that although he could not practice the ''aṣṭāṅga''-''yoga'' system, still there was no cause of disappointment. He concluded, therefore:

:''tapasvibhyo 'dhiko yogī''
:''jñānibhyo 'pi mato 'dhikaḥ''
:''karmibhyaś cādhiko yogī''
:''tasmād yogī bhavārjuna.''
:([[BG 6.46 (1972)|BG 6.46]])

He insisted . . .

(aside) Why you are sitting like that, sleeping? If you feel sleepy don't sit like that.

So the conclusion is:

:''yoginām api sarveṣāṁ''
:''mad-gatenāntar-ātmanā''
:''śraddhāvān bhajate yo māṁ''
:''sa me yuktatamo mataḥ''
:([[BG 6.47 (1972)|BG 6.47]])

This is the conclusion, that "Of all ''yogīs'', who is always thinking of Me, ''śraddhāvān'' . . ." Without being ''śraddhāvān . . . Śraddhā'' is the beginning of everything. Faith, ''śraddhā'', respect. If you have no respect for Kṛṣṇa, if you have no faith in Kṛṣṇa, there is no advancement of spiritual life or ''yoga'' life. Therefore it is said ''śraddhāvān. Ādau śraddhā.''

The beginning of spiritual life is ''śraddhā'', faith. ''Ādau śraddhā. Ādau śraddhā tataḥ sādhu-saṅgaḥ'' ([[CC Madhya 23.14-15]]). First of all, faith, and faith has been described by Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī as . . . faith means ''viśvāsa''. So he explains:

:'''śraddhā'-śabde-viśvāsa sudṛḍha niścaya, sudṛḍha niścaya''
:''kṛṣṇe bhakti kaile sarva-karma kṛta haya''
:([[CC Madhya 22.62|CC Madhya 22.62]])

This is the ''śraddhā. Śraddhā'' means firm faith. As Kṛṣṇa says, ''sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja'' ([[BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]]).

So unless one has got faith. Why one should consider himself that, "I must be completely surrendered to Kṛṣṇa," unless one has got faith? Therefore faith is the beginning. And to create faith, Kṛṣṇa has explained about Himself in the whole ''Bhagavad-gītā''. So one who is fortunate, after reading ''Bhagavad-gītā'' thoroughly, he'll have a strong faith in Kṛṣṇa. If you have failed to achieve this status of faith, then there is no question of progress.

That is explained by Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī: ''śraddhā-śabde viśvāsa kahe sudṛḍha niścaya'' ([[CC Madhya 22.62|CC Madhya 22.62]]). ''Śraddhā'' means firm faith, with conviction, "Yes, if I surrender to Kṛṣṇa, then all my business will be perfect, all my spiritual life will be perfect." Therefore Kṛṣṇa says ''śraddhāvān bhajate''; with ''śraddhā'', with full faith. ''Ādau śraddhā.'' Beginning is ''śraddhā''.

If one has developed a little ''śraddhā'' . . . just like we are giving chance throughout the whole world by this propaganda, opening centers to create little ''śraddhā''. And if the ''śraddhā'' is there, then next stage is ''sādhu-saṅga'' ([[CC Madhya 22.83|CC Madhya 22.83]]). If one wants to become Kṛṣṇa conscious, if he has developed a little faith in it, the next stage is to associate with ''sādhu''.

And who is ''sādhu''? ''Sādhu'' . . . ''sādhavaḥ sādhu-bhūṣaṇāḥ''. ''Titikṣavaḥ kāruṇikāḥ suhṛdaḥ sarva-bhūtānām''. So ''sādhu'' means very tolerant. In another place, ''sādhu'' is described in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'': ''bhajate mām ananya-bhāk sādhur eva sa mantavyaḥ'' ([[BG 9.30 (1972)|BG 9.30]]). ''Api cet su-durācāro bhajate mām ananya-bhāk sādhur eva sa mantavyaḥ''. In another place in the ''Bhāgavata'' the ''sādhu'' is described:

:''titikṣavaḥ kāruṇikāḥ''
:''suhṛdaḥ sarva-dehinām''
:''ajāta-śatravaḥ śāntāḥ''
:''sādhavaḥ sādhu-bhūṣaṇāḥ''
:([[SB 3.25.21|SB 3.25.21]])

A ''sādhu'', the first qualification is he must be a staunch devotee of Kṛṣṇa, or God, whatever you say. That is ''sādhu''. That is the basic definition . . . religion means to abide by the orders of God. That is religion. And ''sādhu'' means who is staunchly a devotee of Kṛṣṇa. These are the description of ''sādhu''. Therefore ''sādhu-saṅga'' means to associate with devotees, those who are devotees of Kṛṣṇa. That is ''sādhu-saṅga.''

Caitanya Mahāprabhu, in another place, says: ''sādhu-saṅga sādhu-saṅga sarva-śāstre kaya lava-mātra sādhu-saṅga'' . . . ''sādhu-saṅga sādhu-saṅga sarva'' . . . ''lava-mātra sādhu-saṅge sarva-siddhi haya'' ([[CC Madhya 22.54|CC Madhya 22.54]]). ''Sādhu-saṅga'' is very important.

If we can associate with real ''sādhu'', means real devotee, unadulterated devotee, ''anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyaṁ jñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam'' (Brs. 1.1.11), then the recommendation is that simply by associating with ''sādhu'' all perfection will come. By simply association. ''Sādhu-saṅga sādhu-saṅga sarva-śāstre kaya, lava-mātra sādhu-saṅge sarva-siddhi.''

So this is very practical. We have got little experience how ''sādhu-saṅga'' is powerful. So ''ādau śraddhā tataḥ sādhu-saṅgaḥ''. First thing is faith.

:''ādau śraddhā tataḥ sādhu-saṅgo 'tha bhajana-kriyā''
:''tato 'nartha-nivṛttiḥ syāt tato niṣṭhā tato rucis tataḥ''
:''athāsaktis tato bhāvas'' . . .
:''sādhakānām ayaṁ premṇaḥ prādurbhāve bhavet kramaḥ''
:([[CC Madhya 23.14-15]])

These are the steps, ''krama. Krama'' means one after another. So our this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is enacted just to create little faith in Kṛṣṇa. Then the person whom we are trying to help, his business is to associate with ''sādhu. Satāṁ prasaṅgān mama vīrya-saṁvido'' . . . ''hṛt-karṇa-rasāyanāḥ kathāḥ'' ([[SB 3.25.25|SB 3.25.25]]). ''Satāṁ prasaṅgāt.'' If we discuss Kṛṣṇa consciousness . . . ''boddhayantaṁ parasparaṁ tuṣyanti ca ramanti ca''. Everywhere, the same thing.

So the ''śraddhā'' is required. Then ''sādhu-saṅga'' ([[CC Madhya 22.83|CC Madhya 22.83]]), then ''bhajana-kriyā''. If anyone actually seriously associate with ''sādhu'', the next stage will be ''bhajana-kriyā'': how to worship. ''Bhajana-kriyā. Tataḥ anartha-nivṛttiḥ syāt''. Then ''anartha. Anartha'' means unnecessary things. We have practiced so many unnecessary things in our life. That unnecessary things, when they are too much strong, that becomes sinful life. Unnecessary. The modern civilization is simply meant for creating unnecessary necessities of life. That's all.

So we are becoming deviated from God. The more we are advancing in so-called material civilization, we are more becoming far away from God. Therefore Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has sung, ''jaḍa-bidyā yata, māyāra vaibhava, tomāra bhajane bādhā. Jaḍa-bidyā,'' the material education, they are simply paraphernalia of this illusory energy, ''māyāra vaibhava.'' And the effect of this advancement of material civilization means stopping one's relationship with God.

''Jaḍa-bidyā yata, māyāra vaibhava, tomāra bhajane bādhā, anitya saṁsāre. Anitya'' means this temporary life, this . . . everyone, we are in this material world, say, for fifty years, sixty years, hundred years. That is temporary. In the unlimited time, a duration of life, say of hundred years, that is nothing. Even, not even a point. It is very temporary, but in this temporary life we are addicted to so many unnecessary things, and we are forgetting our real business: how to go to home, back to home, back to Godhead.

Therefore Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura laments . . . he was a great, responsible government officer, magistrate, but a great devotee of the Lord, and he's one of the ''ācāryas'', Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura. So he writes about his own experience that ''jaḍa-bidyā yata, māyāra vaibhava, tomāra bhajane bādhā'': the more we make advancement in the temporary materialistic comforts, the more we become implicated in unnecessary things, and they are all impediments for making progress in spiritual life. That is his opinion.

And that's a fact. We have seen in Western countries, they are still more materially advanced, but spiritually they are dull, block-headed, spiritually. Very difficult to convince them spiritually. So ''sādhu-saṅga'' ([[CC Madhya 22.83|CC Madhya 22.83]]), by association of sādhu one can achieve advancement in spiritual life. And in all ''śāstras'' it is recommended that associate.

Cāṇakya Paṇḍita, the great politician, you know, he also says, ''tyaja durjana-saṅgam ''. . . ''tyaja durjana-saṅgaṁ bhaja sādhu-samāgamam''. ''Tyaja durjana-saṅga'': give up association with bad elements. What are the bad elements? That is also explained by Caitanya Mahāprabhu. A devotee asked Him that what should be the behavior of a person who is spiritually inclined, or Vaiṣṇava. Spiritually inclined means Vaiṣṇava.

So Caitanya Mahāprabhu said that ''asat-saṅga-tyāga ei vaiṣṇava-ācāra'' ([[CC Madhya 22.87|CC Madhya 22.87]]). Those who are interested in spiritual life, or to become a devotee, the first business is to give up the association of bad elements. ''Asat-saṅga-tyāga vaiṣṇava-ācāra''. In one line. Then next question is then who is ''asat''? ''Asat eka strī-saṅgī kṛṣṇa-abhakta āra.'' There . . .

He has described who is ''asat. Strī-saṅgī. Strī-saṅgī'' means those who are unnecessary addicted to women. Unnecessary. One should be married. One must have children. That is not illicit association. But otherwise . . . Kṛṣṇa also says, ''dharmāviruddhaḥ kāmo 'smi. "Kāma'', lust, sex life, which is not against religious principles, that I am. That kind of lust I am."

So ''dharma'' . . . so according to religious system, people should not be cats and dogs or hogs in the matter of sex life. They must have regulated life. They must have married wife, married husband. And only for nice children they should unite. These are the description given by the . . . ''Viṁśati prakāra dharma-śāstra, Manu-saṁhitā.'' Not otherwise.

Therefore it is called ''gṛhastha-āśrama. Āśrama.'' The ''sannyāsa-āśrama, gṛhastha-āśrama, vānaprastha-āśrama''—everything is ''āśrama''. We can understand, as soon as this word is used, ''āśrama'', it means there is some spiritual tint or spiritual life. So ''gṛhastha'', that is also spiritual life. One may live with wife and children and execute spiritual life. All the associates of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, they were all ''gṛhasthas''.

Caitanya Mahāprabhu Himself also was ''gṛhastha''. So to become ''gṛhastha'' is not a disqualification. But to live as a ''gṛhastha'' according to the injunction of the ''śāstras'', that is required. That, Kṛṣṇa says: ''dharmāviruddhaḥ kāma'', "Which is not against religious principle, that sort of lust I am."

So when Caitanya Mahāprabhu says, ''asat eka strī-saṅgī'', that means one who is not satisfied his, I mean to say, religious life with wife. That, that kind . . . he's ''asādhu''. He's ''asādhu''. Kṛṣṇa . . . ''strī-saṅgī'' and ''kṛṣṇa-abhakta.'' He summarizes the description of ''asādhu'' in two words, one who is too much addicted to sense enjoyment and one who not a devotee of Kṛṣṇa, he's ''asādhu''. So Kṛṣṇa has also describe that:

:''na māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ''
:''prapadyante narādhamāḥ''
:''māyayāpahṛta-jñānā''
:''āsuraṁ bhāvam āśritāḥ''
:([[BG 7.15 (1972)|BG 7.15]])

So there are many descriptions in many ''śāstras'' that one should avoid ''asādhu'' and try to associate with ''sādhu''. Then his life will be successful. Because human life is meant for spiritual advancement of life, not for advancement of eating, sleeping, mating and defending. That is cats' and dogs' life. Human life means advancement in spiritual life. ''Tapo divyaṁ putrakā yena śuddhyet sattvam'' ([[SB 5.5.1|SB 5.5.1]]). We have to purify our existence.

That people do not know, what is impure existence and pure existence. They do not know. There is no education, there is no science. The . . . because we do not, do not understand that we are living entities, we are part and parcel of God. God is eternal, so I am also eternal.

God is always fresh; I am also fresh. ''Nityaḥ śāśvato 'yaṁ purāṇaḥ.'' Although Kṛṣṇa is the oldest person . . . Kṛṣṇa is ''ādi-puruṣa''. He must be the oldest. But He . . . ''nava-yauvanaṁ ca. Advaitam acyutam anādim ananta-rūpam ādyaṁ purāṇa-puruṣaṁ nava-yauvanam ca'' (Bs. 5.33). This is Kṛṣṇa's feature. He is the ''ādi-puruṣa'', the oldest.

''Aham ādir hi devānām'' ([[BG 10.2 (1972)|BG 10.2]]), Kṛṣṇa says: "I am the origin of all the demigods, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Maheśvara." The ''Brahmā-saṁhitā'' supports it, that ''ādyaṁ purāṇa-puruṣam''. Lord Brahmā says the Lord is ''ādyam'', He's the origin. Kṛṣṇa also says: ''ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate'' ([[BG 10.8 (1972)|BG 10.8]]). The ''Vedānta'' says, ''janmādy asya yataḥ'' ([[SB 1.1.1|SB 1.1.1]]). ''Janmādy asya yataḥ'', the Supreme Lord.

So He's the oldest and we, being part and parcel, we are also the oldest. ''Nityo nityānāṁ cetanaś cetanānām'' (''Kaṭha Upaniṣad'' 2.2.13). We are also ''nitya'', and Kṛṣṇa is also ''nitya''. We are also living entity with knowledge; Kṛṣṇa is also living entity with knowledge. Simply He's our leader. He's the Supreme. That's all.

So we do not know how our existence has been polluted. That we do not know. We are just like cats and dogs. We are taking birth and dying without any knowledge. ''Bhūtvā bhūtvā pralīyate'' ([[BG 8.19 (1972)|BG 8.19]]). But this is not our position. Our position is as good as Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is all-powerful; we are minute. He is ''vibhu'', we are ''aṇu''. That is the difference. Otherwise, qualitatively we are all one. So why you are under this obligation of taking birth and dying again? This is our impure existence. This is our impure existence.

So this human form of life is meant for purifying this existential position. No more birth, no more death. As soon as there is birth, there is death. If there is no birth, there is no death. So this can be done simply by Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Simply by developing Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is explained in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'': ''janma karma me divyaṁ yo jānāti tattvataḥ'' ([[BG 4.9 (1972)|BG 4.9]]). ''Divyam'', this word is used, ''divyam''. So we have to undergo austerities, penances for this ''divyam'', for transcendental life, ''divyam. Tapo divyam'' ([[SB 5.5.1|SB 5.5.1]]), little ''tapasya''.

In the Kali-yuga we cannot perform very severe . . . Kṛṣṇa is very kind. He has given us different opportunities for elevating to our transcendental life in different ages. In this age, because we are so fallen and so limited, and so badly associated that it is very difficult to undergo severe austerities and penances . . . we cannot go into the forest. We cannot perform ''yoga'' systems very nicely. We cannot perform ''yajñas''. We cannot worship the Lord in temple very nicely. So many difficulties.

Therefore ''śāstra'' has given us concession: ''kalau tad dhari-kīrtanāt''. In this age, simply by chanting this Hare Kṛṣṇa ''mantra'', ''mahā-mantra'', one can be elevated. Caitanya Mahāprabhu has blessed: ''ihā haite sarva-siddhi haya tomāra''. If you chant this Hare Kṛṣṇa ''mantra'' you'll get all perfection. All perfection. So everything is there. But we do not wish to take advantage.

''Tapasya'', human life is meant for ''tapasya''. We know in our Indian history all big, big kings, they went to the forest, ''tapasya''. The King Bharata, Bharata Mahārāja, under whose name this planet is called Bhārata-varṣa, he left his kingdom, young wife, children, everything, at the age of twenty-four years, and he went for ''tapasya''. So the Pāṇḍavas also. Everyone. The last stage of life should be especially meant for ''tapasya''. Not that up to the point of death we shall remain addicted to this worldly life. No.

So this life is meant for purifying our existence. That means stop this cycle of birth and death. ''Janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi-duḥkha-doṣānudarśanam'' ([[BG 13.8-12 (1972)|BG 13.9]]). We should always keep in front. We may think, we may be puffed up, as very much advanced in material comfort, but . . . you may do so, but at the same time you should keep in front, ''janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi.''

You should always think that, "What advancement we have made? Have we stopped dying? Have you stopped birth?" There are so many contraceptive method, but the population is increasing, the birth is going on. Similarly we have discovered so many nice medicines, but people are dying. You cannot stop this, birth, death. They are trying to remain as young men, as young women, but they are getting older.

So intelligent men should always keep in front that what advancement we have made—simply struggling. A struggle, a heavy struggle, a hard struggle. That struggle. And we are thinking, "This is advancement." You struggling just like ass. So the whole day and night you are working.

Actually I am working very hard, but I am thinking that I am advancing. ''Janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi''. We are trying to find out so many medicine, so many humanitarian work. What is that? There is famine, there is struggle. Why don't you do something so that people will not be anymore in famine, any more in distress—there will be no more scarcity of water. That is required.

So these are the problems, and so however we may solve all these problem, the problem of material existence, birth, death, old age and disease, that cannot be stopped, either you become Brahmā or something like that. That is not possible. That is possible only by Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is explained in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'':

:''mām upetya punar janma''
:''duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam''
:''nāpnuvanti mahātmānaḥ''
:''saṁsiddhiṁ paramāṁ gatāḥ''
:([[BG 8.15 (1972)|BG 8.15]])

''Mām upetya tu kaunteya, duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam.'' This world is recommended by the creator of this world as ''duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam.'' It is the place for miseries. And that also temporary. If you make . . . want to make compromise, "All right, it may be miserable life. I will stay here," oh, that also you'll not be allowed. You'll be kicked out after some days.

You may try to become very comfortable, good income, good bank balance, or nice wife, nice car, but one day it will come you'll be kicked out, "Please get out." Finished. ''Mṛtyuḥ sarva-haraś cāham'' ([[BG 10.34 (1972)|BG 10.34]]). Kṛṣṇa says that, "I am ''mṛtyu''. I take away everything. At that time, finished, everything."

So this is our foolishness, that we are trying to be happy in a place which is recommended by the creator Himself, ''duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam'' ([[BG 8.15 (1972)|BG 8.15]]). ''Duḥkhālayam''. This is called foolishness. Therefore Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura says, ''anitya saṁsāre''. We are already in a distressed place, and we are increasing our distressed condition of life. That means you are becoming more and more ass, by the name of so-called advancement of education.

''Jaḍa-bidyā yata, māyāra vaibhava, tomāra bhajane bādhā''. If, by advancement of civilization, we forget God and forget the mission of our life, that is nothing but to become like an ass. Unnecessary working. The ass . . . the example is given, the ass, because ass has no sense. He works very hard. The . . . you have got experience, the washerman's ass—it is loaded with three tons of cloth and takes it to the ''ghāṭa'' and again brings it. And what is the result? He gets little grass. That's all.

But he has no sense that, "This grass, I can get anywhere. Why I am so working hard for this washerman?" Therefore it is ass. I'll take four ''cāpāṭis'', but I am working so hard that there is no limit of my working. And one day Kṛṣṇa comes: "Please get out." Finished. So we are all asses. (chuckles) Therefore Kavirāja Gosvāmī says: ''kṛṣṇa yei bhaje se baḍa catura''. Only intelligent man is he who is Kṛṣṇa conscious. Otherwise all asses. ''Kṛṣṇa yei bhaje se baḍa catura''. So that ''bhajana'' Kṛṣṇa is teaching us. He's beginning the ''yoga'' system:

:''yoginām api sarveṣāṁ''
:''mad-gatenāntar-ātmanā''
:''śraddhāvān bhajate yo māṁ''
:''sa me yuktatamo mataḥ''
:([[BG 6.47 (1972)|BG 6.47]])

He's first-class ''yogī''. So we shall discuss first-class ''yogī'' from tomorrow again. Thank you very much. (break)

Indian man: To what extent the Society has succeeded in India for propagating Kṛṣṇa consciousness?

Prabhupāda: Now you have come, it is success. It is success. You have come to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is our success. Formerly you were not coming. Now you have come. So that is our success. (break)

Indian man: (indistinct) . . . Western materialistic countries, quite dangerous materialistic country, where India is forgotten the . . . (indistinct) . . .?

Prabhupāda: Because there is great propaganda to curb down by your leaders. They are naturally inclined. Anyone who takes birth in India, it is to be supposed that in his past life, he was spiritual. ''Bhārata-bhūmite manuṣya-janma haila yāra'' ([[CC Adi 9.41|CC Adi 9.41]]). There is great opportunity for persons who are born in India for spiritual advancement. Unfortunately, by force, by propaganda, we are suppressing them. That is the cause. We are suppressing them.

Otherwise, still we get experience. We hold these Hare Kṛṣṇa Festival in Calcutta, Bombay and other places—here also—many thousands of people are coming. Because at heart there is Kṛṣṇa consciousness, but by external forces they are being suppressed. That is going on.

It is not natural. It is unnatural. Natural is every Indian is Kṛṣṇa conscious. That is natural. By artificial means they are being suppressed. This is the misfortune of the present day of India. (break) . . . can be done? There is no, in the educational system, no ''Bhagavad-gītā''. Just see how much unfortunate . . .

One Indian girl in Berkeley University, she asked me, "Swāmījī, what is God?" Just see. She's Indian, where God takes birth, Rāmacandra, Kṛṣṇa, and she is now materially advanced; now she is asking what is God. This is our position. The land where God come, from that land a advanced student is asking, "What is God?" This is our advancement. Hare Kṛṣṇa.

Indian man (2): I have a question. Is it necessary that God should be worshiped in particular form only?

Prabhupāda: Well, there is only one form: ''bhakti''. There is no other form. It is not a particular; it is the only. Just like there are nine holes in your body. The only one hole will be used for eating, not other holes. If you pushed your foodstuff in other holes, it will be useless. Similarly, God is one, and to understand God the only process is ''bhakti''. That's all. There is no other process.

Indian man (2): How may a devotee arrive to this particular form?

Prabhupāda: This is in the ''śāstras''. God says, ''bhaktyā mām abhijānāti'' ([[BG 18.55 (1972)|BG 18.55]]): "Only through devotion one can understand Me." So not the devotee has discovered. God says. "This is the only way." If you want to know God, you must know Him by the process He recommends. Don't discover your own way.

Not that ''yato mata tato patha'', you discover all rascal ''mata'' and God will be available. No. If you want to know God, then this is the only: ''bhaktyā mām abhijānāti yāvān yaś cāsmi tattvataḥ'' ([[BG 18.55 (1972)|BG 18.55]]). That is the only way. There is no other way.

Chant. (break) (end)

<div class="code">721208LE-AHMEDABAD - December 08, 1972 - 48:34 Minutes</div>

<mp3player>https://s3.amazonaws.com/vanipedia/full/1972/721208LE-AHMEDABAD.mp3</mp3player>

Prabhupāda: . . . yesterday the definition of Bhagavān, ''ṣaḍ-aiśvarya-pūrṇa-bhagavān'' ([[CC Madhya 25.33]]): all riches, all strength, all reputation, all beauty, all knowledge and all renunciation. Complete. Because I have got mill . . . (break) Whether one has got . . . (break) That is not million, trillion, billion; it is unlimited. ''Asamordhva''. That is the version.

God must be ''asama ūrdhva. Asamor'' . . . nobody's greater than God; nobody's equal to God. That is God. If you find somebody equal to you, then you are not God. You may be demigod, but the God means supreme. ''Īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ'' (Bs. 5.1). That Supreme God is Kṛṣṇa. ''Parama'', supreme. Nobody is equal to Kṛṣṇa, nobody's greater than Kṛṣṇa. Therefore Kṛṣṇa is God.

There are so many Gods nowadays. The . . . actually, the Māyāvādī philosopher, they say everyone is Nārāyaṇa. But what is the proof? We find out from the ''śāstras'' that Nārāyaṇa has got four hands. So where is your four hands? You are claiming to become Nārāyaṇa, so where are your four hands? Just manifest your four hands at least so that we can understand you are Nārāyaṇa. (chuckles) No. Without four hands. And Nārāyaṇa is Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa. He's the husband of Lakṣmī, the goddess of fortune. So where is your goddess of fortune? You are begging from door to door. Where is your goddess of fortune, you have become Nārāyaṇa?

So this kind of God and Nārāyaṇa is going on, bluffing. But we are not bluffed in that way. We follow the śāstric injunction what is Nārāyaṇa. We cannot accept Nārāyaṇa as ''daridra, daridra-nārāyaṇa.'' What is this? Nārāyaṇa is the husband of the goddess of fortune.

''Lakṣmī-sahasra-śata-sambhrama-sevyamānaṁ govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi'' (Bs. 5.29). How Nārāyaṇa can become ''daridra''? So these are manufactured words. You cannot find all these words in the ''śāstra''. They are manufactured, concoction.

So we are not concerned with this concoction. ''Yaḥ śāstra-vidhim utsṛjya''. We must follow the ''śāstras'', the ''mahājana. Mahājano yena gataḥ sa panthāḥ'' ([[CC Madhya 17.186|CC Madhya 17.186]]). We are not perfect, therefore we have to follow the footprints of the perfect. And that is given in the ''śāstra'', whom you have to follow:

:''svayambhūr nāradaḥ śambhuḥ''
:''kapilo kumāraḥ manuḥ''
:''prahlādo janako bhīṣmo''
:''balir vaiyāsakir vayam''
:([[SB 6.3.20-21|SB 6.3.20]])

Twelve ''mahājanas''. We follow Lord Brahmā. Just like we belong to the Brahmā-sampradāya, Madhvācārya-sampradāya. Gauḍīya . . . Mādhva-Gauḍīya-sampradāya. Caitanya Mahāprabhu's spiritual master was Īśvara Purī. Īśvara Purī's spiritual master was Mādhavendra Purī. And Mādhavendra Purī belonged to the Madhvācārya-sampradāya.

Therefore we present ourself belonging to the Madhva-Gauḍīya-sampradāya. Similarly . . . from Brahmā, there is one ''sampradāya''. Similarly, there is another ''sampradāya'' from Lord Śiva, Rudra-sampradāya. And there is another ''sampradāya'', Kumāra-sampradāya. ''Kumāraḥ kapilo manuḥ.'' That is Nimbārka-sampradāya. Similarly, there is another ''sampradāya'' from Lakṣmī, Śrī-sampradāya, Rāmānuja-sampradāya.

So we have to understand the philosophy through the ''sampradāya. Sampradāya-vihīnā ye mantrās te niṣphalā matāḥ'' (''Padma Purāṇa''). If you don't accept . . . in ordinary life also, in political field, to develop, one has to accept a party, this party or that Congress Party, or Jana Sanga Party or this party. So the aim is the same. Aim is the same, to serve the country, to develop your country but still, there are parties. Similarly, the aim is the same: to understand what is our relationship with God. But the development is made by different parties.

So the parties are . . . must be bona fide. As Kṛṣṇa says, His party:

:''imaṁ vivasvate yogaṁ''
:''proktavān aham avyayam''
:''vivasvān manave prāha''
:''manur ikṣvākave 'bravīt''
:([[BG 4.1 (1972)|BG 4.1]])

:''evaṁ paramparā-prāptam''
:''imaṁ rājarṣayo viduḥ''
:([[BG 4.2 (1972)|BG 4.2]])

Kṛṣṇa said that, "First of all, I described, I instructed this ''yoga'' system, ''bhakti-yoga'' system, ''Bhagavad-gītā'', to Vivasvān, the sun god, and the sun god, whose name is Vivasvān . . ." The particular name is also given. It is not vague, that . . . at the present moment, the predominating deity in the sun planet is called Vivasvān. So he spoke this ''Bhagavad-gītā'' philosophy to his son, ''vivasvān manave prā'' . . . Manu. Manu is the original person of the human society.

''Manuṣya''. Man. So Manu spoke to his son, Ikṣvāku, Mahārāja Ikṣvāku. He's the first person of the ''sūrya-vaṁśa.'' There are two ''kṣatriya'' families: one, ''candra-vaṁśa'', coming from the moon, and the other from the sun, Vivasvān. So Mahārāja Ikṣvāku is the original personality in the ''sūrya-vaṁśa kṣatriyas'' in which Lord Rāmacandra appeared. So in this way, there is ''paramparā'' system.

If we want to understand the real fact, then we must receive from the ''paramparā'' system. Just like we have got our genealogical table. I understand my great-great-grandfather by the ''paramparā'' system. Not that I manufacture some name. No. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says that ''imam'' . . . ''evaṁ paramparā-prāptam'' ([[BG 4.2 (1972)|BG 4.2]]). The ''Bhagavad-gītā'', knowledge must be received by the ''paramparā'' system, as it was spoken by Kṛṣṇa and as it has been received by the later ''ācāryas''.

Although there are different parties— just like the Śrī-sampradāya, Brahmā-sampradāya, Rudra-sampradāya—they are all in agreement that Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. All these ''ācāryas''. They'll not say anything that, "Because I belong to Brahmā-sampradāya, I speak something else." No. We are all in agreement that ''kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam'' ([[SB 1.3.28|SB 1.3.28]]). That is accepted.

So Kṛṣṇa said to Arjuna, ''sa kāleneha yogo naṣṭaḥ parantapa'' ([[BG 4.2 (1972)|BG 4.2]]): "In due . . . in course of time, that ''paramparā'' system has been lost, or broken. Therefore," Kṛṣṇa said: "I am speaking the old truth unto you so that you begin the ''paramparā'' system again." So we have to accept ''Bhagavad-gītā'' by the ''paramparā'' system.

Even the old system is broken, still, it is existing because Kṛṣṇa is speaking to Arjuna, and we have to understand ''Bhagavad-gītā'' as Arjuna understood. Then you are in the ''paramparā''. And if you understand ''Bhagavad-gītā'' as some so-called scholar understands, then you are not understanding ''Bhagavad-gītā''—you are understanding something nonsense, wasting your time. This is the fact.

If you try to understand ''Bhagavad-gītā'' as Arjuna understood . . . that is not difficult. Arjuna's understanding is there in the ''Bhagavad-gītā''. So if you follow the footprints of Arjuna, then you are rightly understanding ''Bhagavad-gītā''. But if you are following the footprints of some rascal, then you are not understanding ''Bhagavad-gītā''; you are understanding something else.

This is the secret. Here we have got so many commentaries on ''Bhagavad-gītā'', as one thinks. As if Kṛṣṇa left ''Bhagavad-gītā'' to be commented by some rascals to understand. Why? He said ''Bhagavad-gītā'' clearly. Why it is to be interpreted by some rascals? Did Kṛṣṇa mean that "I leave ''Bhagavad-gītā'' ambiguous and some learned scholar will come. He will explain"? What is this nonsense? Everything is clear. ''Bhagavad-gītā'', in the beginning it is said that:

:''dharma-kṣetre kuru-kṣetre''
:''samavetā yuyutsavaḥ''
:''māmakāḥ pāṇḍavāś caiva''
:''kim akurvata sañjaya''
:([[BG 1.1 (1972)|BG 1.1]])

Now, why it should be interpreted that, "''Dharma-kṣetra'' means this, ''kuru-kṣetra'' means this, ''pāṇḍavāḥ'' means this?" Why? It is clear. Kurukṣetra still existing. Everyone knows. And that is ''dharma-kṣetra''. Everyone knows. It is not known now. From the Vedic age. ''Kuru-kṣetre dharmam ācaret.'' Still people go there for performing ritualistic ceremonies. So ''Kurukṣetra'' is still there, and it is ''dharma-kṣetra'' from time immemorial. Why it should be interpreted that "''Kurukṣetra'' means this, and ''dharma-kṣetra'' means this?" Why? Where is the dictionary?

But because one has got some whims, he wants to fulfill his whim on the authority of ''Bhagavad-gītā'', he interprets in a different way. Therefore we are presenting ''Bhagavad-gītā'' as it is, without nonsensically interpreting. Therefore it is being effective. Before me, many ''svāmīs'' went to the Western countries to preach this ''Bhagavad-gītā''. Not a single person became a devotee of Kṛṣṇa. Not a single person. There is not in the history. And now ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is being presented as it is, thousands are becoming devotee of Kṛṣṇa. This is the secret.

People give me credit that, "Swāmījī, you have done wonderful. Nobody could do it." I am not a wonderful man. Neither I do know anything magic. I have presented ''Bhagavad-gītā'' as it is. That's all. This is the secret. Anyone can do that. You present the thing as it is. Don't adulterate it. Then it will be accepted. Just like ''paramānna, kṣīra. Kṣīra'' is very nice food, but if you adulterate it with some grains of sand, it is spoiled. It is spoiled.

So that was being done. ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is the science of God, the spiritual science. But it was being adulterated by so many grains of sands. So people could not understand it. We do not present ''Bhagavad-gītā'' with some adulteration. Kṛṣṇa says, ''bhakto 'si priyo 'si arjuna.'' Kṛṣṇa is instructing Arjuna to begin the ''paramparā'' system, because the paramparā system was supposed to be broken. People misunderstood. Or some way or other, it was broken, as it is going on now also.

So Kṛṣṇa said that, "I shall speak to you this same old philosophy of ''Bhagavad-gītā'' again." "Why unto me?" Why Kṛṣṇa selected Arjuna? There are many others, learned scholars. Now, Kṛṣṇa says, ''bhakto 'si priyo 'si.'' Kṛṣṇa was a military man . . . er, Arjuna was a military man. He was not a Vedāntist. He was a ''gṛhastha'', not even a ''sannyāsī''. Why Kṛṣṇa selected to instruct Arjuna as the disciple of the renovated ''paramparā'' system? That is also spoken by Kṛṣṇa: ''bhakto 'si priyo 'si'' ([[BG 4.3 (1972)|BG 4.3]]), ''rahasyam etad uttamam'', "Because you are My dear friend, because you are My devotee, you can understand the mysteries of ''Bhagavad-gītā''."

Kṛṣṇa did not select a so-called Vedāntist to understand ''Bhagavad-gītā''. Because Arjuna was not a Vedāntist; he was a military man. He's not supposed to become a great philosopher. He was a ''gṛhastha''. But the real qualification is to become a devotee of Kṛṣṇa. Then one can understand what is ''Bhagavad-gītā''. Not by so-called knowledge. No. Knowledge is not perfect unless one understands Kṛṣṇa. That is not knowledge, that is still illusion.

Therefore in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' it is said, ''bahūnāṁ janmanām ante jñānavān māṁ prapadyate'' ([[BG 7.19 (1972)|BG 7.19]]). ''Māṁ prapadyate'': "He surrenders unto Me." ''Vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ''. When one understands Kṛṣṇa, Vāsudeva, as everything, as the origin of everything, ''janmādy asya yataḥ'' ([[SB 1.1.1|SB 1.1.1]]), then his knowledge is perfect. And so long he's hovering here and there, without any understanding of Kṛṣṇa, his knowledge is not perfect. That perfection of knowledge is attained, as it is described by Kṛṣṇa: ''bahūnāṁ janmanām ante'' ([[BG 7.19 (1972)|BG 7.19]]).

So ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is to be understood by the ''paramparā'' system. ''Śrī-bhagavān uvāca''. Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Bhagavān, ''ṣaḍ-aiśvarya-pūrṇa''. He has no defects because He is in full knowledge. ''Aiśvaryasya samagrasya vīryasya yaśasaḥ śriyaḥ jñāna'' (''Viṣṇu Purāṇa'' 6.5.47). He has got full knowledge. ''Vedāhaṁ sama'' . . . ([[BG 7.26 (1972)|BG 7.26]]). He says that "I know past, present, future—everything."

This past, present and future, knowledge, how Kṛṣṇa knew, that was also proved. When Kṛṣṇa said that, "I spoke this philosophy to Vivasvān . . ." Vivasvān means to the sun god, in the beginning, before Manu. That means about forty thousand millions of years ago, according to ''Manu-saṁhitā.'' Then Arjuna inquired, "My dear Kṛṣṇa, we are contemporaries. We are born some years ago. How is that—You instructed the sun god, Vivasvān, this philosophy?" This inquiry was made by Arjuna. Why? How Kṛṣṇa knows the past so long, long years ago? So Kṛṣṇa replied that, "Yes, at that time you were also present, but you have forgotten. I have not forgotten."

That is the difference between ordinary human being and God. That is the difference. God does not forget past, present, future. God knows future. God knows past. And present, what to speak of? In the Second Chapter you'll find also. Kṛṣṇa says that, "It is not that you, Me and all these kings and soldiers were not existing in the past. And we are existing at present. And it is not that we shall not existed in the future." These are the things.

So if you try to understand ''Bhagavad-gītā'' as it is, then we get some benefit. Not some benefit, the ultimate benefit. What is the purpose of ''Bhagavad-gītā''? Kṛṣṇa has come. Kṛṣṇa's instructing Arjuna. Aiming at Arjuna, He's instructing the whole world—what is the position of the living entities, what is our constitutional position?

We are all living entities, and Kṛṣṇa is God. What is Kṛṣṇa's position? What is our position? What is this material nature? What is the time factor? What is our activities? These things are very nicely explained. ''Prakṛti, puruṣa, jīva'' and time and karma. These five things are very nicely described.

So ''prakṛti'' is also eternal. ''Prakṛti'' means the energy, energy of the Supreme. That is described in the Seventh Chapter that:

:''bhūmir āpo 'nalo vāyuḥ''
:''khaṁ mano buddhir eva ca'' . . .
:''bhinnā prakṛtir aṣṭadhā''
:([[BG 7.4 (1972)|BG 7.4]])

These are, these material energies—earth, water, fire, air, sky—and subtle energy—intelligence . . . mind, intelligence and ego—''bhinnā me prakṛtir aṣṭadhā''. And another ''prakṛti'': ''apareyam''. These are inferior energy. ''Apareyam itas tu viddhi me prakṛtiṁ parām.'' There is another, superior energy. What is that superior energy? ''Jīva-bhūtāṁ mahā-bāho yayedaṁ dhāryate jagat'' ([[BG 7.5 (1972)|BG 7.5]]). The living entities. That is superior energy.

So Kṛṣṇa is the energetic, and these two ''prakṛtis'' are working. Therefore they are also eternal. Kṛṣṇa is eternal, ''sanātana'', these ''prakṛtis'' are also eternal. And one ''prakṛti'', we living entities, we superior energy. Why superior? ''Yayedaṁ dhāryate jagat.''

Because we living entities, we are trying to lord it over the material nature. Material nature is being used by us. Therefore the material nature is inferior and we are superior. We are superior energy, ''prakṛti''. We are not the ''puruṣa''. The Māyāvāda philosophers, they want to make the ''prakṛti'' as ''puruṣa''. No. Kṛṣṇa is ''puruṣa''; we are all ''prakṛtis''.

As I told you, that we have to understand Kṛṣṇa as Arjuna understood. Arjuna understood . . . that is described in the Tenth Chapter: ''paraṁ brahma . . . paraṁ brahma paraṁ dhāma pavitraṁ paramaṁ bhavān puruṣam'' ([[BG 10.12-13 (1972)|BG 10.12]]). "You are the only ''puruṣa'', enjoyer." ''Puruṣa'' means enjoyer, and ''prakṛti'' means enjoyed. ''Puruṣa'' means the predominator, and ''prakṛti'' means the predominated. So we are predominated.

We are not predominator. If the predominated wants to become predominator, that is false. That is illusion. That is going on. Everyone, all our, all living entities, we are trying to become predominator instead of being predominated. That is the struggle for existence. And as soon as we become . . . we agree to become predominated, there is peace immediately. That is called ''mukti''.

The description of ''mukti'' is given in the ''Bhagavad ''. . . ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'': ''muktir hitvā anyathā-rūpaṁ svarūpeṇa vyavasthitiḥ'' ([[SB 2.10.6|SB 2.10.6]]). That is ''mukti''. ''Mukti'' means if you give up the artificial endeavor to become predominator and become situated in your original position, being predominated, that is called ''mukti''. We can very easily understand. Artificially . . . suppose a woman is trying to become man artificially. How long it will go on? How she can be happy? That is not possible.

Actually, in the Western countries at least, we see that the woman class, they want equal rights with men. And there is. There is no distinction. But it is my experience, the woman class, they are not happy in the Western countries. And still in our country, although we are so fallen, still our woman class remains satisfied. Being predominated, they are happy. They are happy. That is my practical experience.

So I do not wish to discuss this point very much, but according to our ''Manu-saṁhitā'', it is said that women should not be free. ''Na svātantryam arhati'': "''Svātantryam'' is not allowed to the woman class." Actually, we have seen, and by experience, those who are under the domination of the father when they, still they are not married, they are happy.

Those who are under the domination of the husband after being married, they're happy. And those who are under the domination of elderly children, they are happy. So this statement of ''Manu-saṁhitā'' . . . just like children should not be given freedom, similarly, woman should not be given freedom. They should be given all protection. That is our Vedic culture.

Similarly, ''prakṛti'' . . . just, this is an example. Here, either man or woman, everyone is ''prakṛti''. The real ''puruṣa'' is Kṛṣṇa. And there is a nice example. When Rūpa Gosvāmī was there in Vṛndāvana in his ''bhajana'', Mīrābhāi went to see him. And Rūpa Gosvāmī's message was that he does not see any woman.

They were very strict. At least, the story is like . . . so Mīrā challenged that, "I came to Vṛndāvana. I know that only Kṛṣṇa is ''puruṣa'' here, and everyone is woman. So how does it mean that Rūpa Gosvāmī's declined to see another woman?" So Rūpa Gosvāmī agreed, "Yes, I am mistaken. Yes, Kṛṣṇa is the only ''puruṣa''."

So ''puruṣa'' means the enjoyer, and ''prakṛti'' means the instrument of enjoyment, ''prakṛti'', energy. Just like here we see one man is very big, rich man, but he's enjoyer by utilizing his energy. Similarly, the whole cosmic situation, whole creation is . . . the supreme enjoyer is God. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'':

:''bhoktāraṁ yajña-tapasāṁ''
:''sarva-loka-maheśvaram''
:''suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānāṁ''
:''jñātvā māṁ śāntim ṛcchati''
:([[BG 5.29 (1972)|BG 5.29]])

If we want really peace, then we should understand these three things: that Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the enjoyer. We have to serve Him for His enjoyment. That is called devotional service, transcendental loving service. Just like the master is there, and for his enjoyment, there are so many servants. They are engaged in his service. That is our position. ''Mamaivāṁśo jīva-bhūtaḥ'' ([[BG 15.7 (1972)|BG 15.7]]). You take in so many ways. Our position is to serve Kṛṣṇa, and by His pleasure, we shall be pleased. There are so many instances.

:''yathā taror mūla-niṣecanena''
:''tṛpyanti tat-skandha-bhujopaśākhāḥ''
:''prāṇopahārāc ca yathendriyāṇāṁ''
:''tathaiva sarvārhaṇam acyutejyā''
:([[SB 4.31.14|SB 4.31.14]])

Just like if you pour water in the root of the tree, the all the branches, twigs, flowers, leaves—everything becomes nourished automatically. Similarly, if you put foodstuff on the stomach, then all the ''indriyas'', all the different limbs and parts of the body, automatically become nourished.

Similarly, Kṛṣṇa is the origin of everything, root. ''Aham ādir hi devānām'' ([[BG 10.2 (1972)|BG 10.2]]). ''Ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate'' ([[BG 10.8 (1972)|BG 10.8]]). Therefore if we try to understand Kṛṣṇa, if we try to serve Kṛṣṇa, then our life will be successful. Otherwise not. That is not possible.

So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, we are preaching all over the world that Kṛṣṇa is the origin. The ''Vedānta'' says: "The Absolute Truth is that from whom everything is emanating," ''janmādy asya yataḥ'' ([[SB 1.1.1|SB 1.1.1]]), and it is accepted by everyone: "Kṛṣṇa is the Puruṣa, the original person." Brahmā says in his ''Brahmā-saṁhitā.'' Brahmā is supposed to be the original person within this universe. He accepts Kṛṣṇa: ''sarva-kāraṇa-kāraṇam'' (Bs. 5.1).

:''īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ''
:''sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ''
:''anādir ādir govindaḥ''
:''sarva-kāraṇa-kāraṇam''
:(Bs. 5.1)

So this Kṛṣṇa philosophy means to understand Kṛṣṇa as He is, without any interpretation. And if we actually understand Kṛṣṇa, then our life is successful. What is the mission of our life? The mission of life is to get out of the cycle of birth and death and old age and disease. That means to cease accepting material body one after another. That is going on.

We are wandering throughout the whole universe in different planets and different species of life. We are spirit soul. We don't require to accept this material body. But we have accepted it, somehow or other.

:''dehino 'smin yathā dehe''
:''kaumāraṁ yauvanaṁ jarā''
:''tathā dehāntara-prāptir'' . . .
:([[BG 2.13 (1972)|BG 2.13]])

In this way, we are wandering throughout the whole universe. But if want to stop it, if we want to become again originally situated in our constitutional position, then we must understand ''Bhagavad-gītā'' as it is. We must try to understand Kṛṣṇa as He is. Then our life will be successful. ''Tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti kaunteya'' ([[BG 4.9 (1972)|BG 4.9]]). Go back to home, go back to Godhead.

This is very simple philosophy, and everything is explained in the ''Bhagavad-gītā''. If we are fortunate enough, we should study ''Bhagavad-gītā'' as it is. And then we become successful in the mission of our life.

Thank you very much. Hare Kṛṣṇa. (devotees offer obeisances)

Guest (1): . . . part of ''puruṣa''. Also you say: ''ahaṁ brahmāsmi''. You and all people are part of God . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Guest (1): . . . and this is ''jīva'' and ''puruṣa''. There's a living entity within us.

Prabhupāda: Yes, ''nitya''. We are part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa.

Guest (1): . . . is the material nature, and material, this is not the gross body.

Prabhupāda: Eh? Eh?

Guest (1): This is not the gross body. When we go to bed and sleep, we feel that there is some divine spark in us, which puts us by our existence . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Guest (1): We are just . . . this body is gross body. But it is a part and parcel of God. That's what the Śaṅkara . . .

Prabhupāda: No. Part and parcel of God in this way: it is the energy of God.

Guest (1): It is not ''prakṛti''; it is ''puruṣa''. It is ''puruṣa'' inside.

Prabhupāda: ''Puruṣa'' inside? That is Paramātmā.

Guest (1): Śaṅkarācārya says, Śaṅkarācārya says that . . .

Prabhupāda: No, we differ from Śaṅkarācārya. We follow Kṛṣṇa. We do not follow Śaṅkarācārya. So if you think Śaṅkarācārya is better than Kṛṣṇa, that is your opinion. We follow Kṛṣṇa. Śaṅkarācārya is not original person. Kṛṣṇa is original person. That is accepted by Vyāsadeva and all . . . Nārada, Devala. So our proposition is "Follow Kṛṣṇa." ''Nityo nityānāṁ cetanaś cetanānām'' (''Kaṭha Upaniṣad'' 2.2.13).

The original person, ''ādi-puruṣam. Govindam ādi-puruṣam.'' Śaṅkarācārya is, say, 1,500 years, but Kṛṣṇa, He's the original ''puruṣa'', before the creation. The creation was made . . . Śaṅkarācārya also admits in his commentary on the ''Bhagavad-gītā'': ''nārāyaṇaḥ paraḥ avyaktāt''. And he accepts Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme Personality of Godhead: ''sa bhagavān svayaṁ kṛṣṇaḥ.
''
So you cannot supersede Kṛṣṇa by accepting Śaṅkarācārya. Śaṅkarācārya admits, ''sa bhagavān svayaṁ kṛṣṇaḥ.'' So Śaṅkarācārya admits Kṛṣṇa is the authority, but Kṛṣṇa says that this material body is ''prakṛti''. How you can say it is ''puruṣa''? Kṛṣṇa says that ''bhūmir āpo 'nalo vāyuḥ, bhinnā me prakṛtir aṣṭadhā'' ([[BG 7.4 (1972)|BG 7.4]]): "These eight kinds of ''prakṛti'', they are My separated energy." How you can say it is ''puruṣa''?

Guest (2): Sir, may I . . . some reference were written by Lord Kṛṣṇa in ''Gītā''. He told us that ''api cet su-durācāro bhajate mām ananya-bhāk'' ([[BG 9.30 (1972)|BG 9.30]]). And He, ''kṣipraṁ bhavati dharmātmā'', and He also promised ''pratijāne priyo 'si'' . . . (indistinct)

But it is difficult to understand that the same Lord Kṛṣṇa told that ''bahūnāṁ janmanām ante jñānavān māṁ prapadyante'' ([[BG 7.19 (1972)|BG 7.19]]), ''manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu kaścid yatati siddhaye, teṣām api sahasreṣu'' ([[BG 7.3 (1972)|BG 7.3]]), "Can understand Me?"

Prabhupāda: Hmm?

Guest (2): Can understand Lord Kṛṣṇa? It is . . . this knowledge of Him, perfect knowledge, is very difficult because . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes. But that is the standard of perfect knowledge, to surrender to Kṛṣṇa.

Guest (2): Yes, but He is so easy that ''api cet su-durācāraḥ'', it means we must surrender in what way? But . . .

Prabhupāda: ''Api cet su-durācāro bhajate mām ananya-bhāk. Ananya-bhāk'', without deviating to any other thing, if one is simply sticking to worship Kṛṣṇa, that is called ''ananya-bhāk.'' Not that, "I am worshiping Kṛṣṇa sometimes, sometimes worshiping this, sometimes that."

No, not like that. ''Ananya-bhāk.'' One, concentrated. Such a person, even if he's found ''su-durācāraḥ'', due to his past habits . . . just like these European boys and American boys. They have taken to Kṛṣṇa consciousness very seriously. But sometimes we find that they are not so clean according to the ''śāstra''.

So that is supported. Even though they are not sometimes following the routine work of cleanliness or something else, still, because he's sticking to the principle of worshiping Kṛṣṇa, he does not do anything else, then he's ''sādhu''. He's ''sādhu''. Only for that qualification. They are not going to any other demigods or form of God. They are sticking to the simple . . . ''mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja''. This is required.

This faith, that as ''Caitanya-caritāmṛta kaṛacā'' says'': kṛṣṇe bhakti kaile sarva-karma kṛta haya'' ([[CC Madhya 22.62|CC Madhya 22.62]]). This is the faith, the beginning of faith. If one is strongly believing that "If I worship Kṛṣṇa, then everything will be done nicely," that is called ''ananya-bhāk.
''
And if we want to worship Kṛṣṇa for some purpose and another, some purpose, that is not ''ananya-bhāk''. His ''su-durācāra'' will not be accepted. But if he sticks to Kṛṣṇa only, then his ''su-durācāra'' will be excused. (break) . . . other Muslim.

Guest (3): No, I am Indian.

Prabhupāda: Then, sir, you believe like Indian.

(break) . . . question of belief. It is a fact. But people say it is belief. Fact is fact. You believe or not believe, fact is fact. (break)

Guest (3): . . . belief. (break) . . . "I am son of God."

Guest (4): And what about Kṛṣṇa? He says . . .

Prabhupāda: He says: "I am God." Therefore there is no difference. If Jesus Christ is son of God, and Kṛṣṇa says: "God," then where is the difference? If your son comes, "I am son of such gentleman," and if you say: "I am that gentleman," then where is the difference?

Where is the difference? If I say: "I am Mr. Such-and-son . . . such-and-such," and if my son says: "I am the son of Mr. Such-and-such," then where is the difference? There is no difference. Christ says: "I am son of God," and Kṛṣṇa says: "I am God." So Christ becomes His son. So where is the difference? And Kṛṣṇa says, ''sarva-yoniṣu kaunteya sambhavanti mūrtayaḥ'' ([[BG 14.4 (1972)|BG 14.4]]): "As many forms are there, living entities,"

:''tāsāṁ brahma mahad yonir''
:''ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā''

"I am the seed-giving father." Kṛṣṇa is the father of all living entities. Why not of Christ? What do you say? Is that all right? Thank you. (break)

So I shall request you, all respectable gentlemen present here, that there is very good prospect of preaching this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement all over the world. That is my experience after working for the last four or five years.

So our countrymen also, those who are leaders, those who are thoughtful, philosophers, scientists, they should try to understand this Kṛṣṇa philosophy. That is my request. It is very clear to understand the science of God. Why you should neglect and by, mislead ourself by understanding some misleading interpretation? That is my mission.

I want to establish throughout the world that ''kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam'' ([[SB 1.3.28|SB 1.3.28]]). Here is Bhagavān. Why you are searching after Bhagavān? Here is Bhagavān. I give the name and address of Bhagavān, His father's name and everything. Why you are being misled? Where is the scope for searching out where is Bhagavān?

Here is Bhagavān. ''Śrī-bhagavān uvāca''. Therefore in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' it is said . . . it does not say ''kṛṣṇa uvāca. Śrī-bhagavān uvāca.'' Its name is ''Bhagavad-gītā'', "spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead." ''Bhagavad-gītā''. Śaṅkarācārya says: ''Bhagavad-gītā'' ''kiñcid adita''., Śaṅkarācārya says. ''Kiñcid adita''. If, if somebody wants to understand Bhagavān, he must read ''Bhagavad-gītā''. ''Kiñcid adita''. He never challenges Kṛṣṇa.

So we have to understand the whole thing, whole philosophy, whole science of God through ''Bhagavad-gītā''. Then our life is perfect. Why Śaṅkarācārya says ''Bhagavad-gītā'' ''kiñcid adita''? Why? Can you say? (break)

Guest (4): . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: . . . little of ''Bhagavad-gītā''.

Guest (4): . . . (indistinct)

Guest (4): Just like . . . (break)

''hi''—exactly like; ''avahitaḥ''—surcharged with; ''vahniḥ''—fire; ''dāruṣu''—in the wood; ''ekaḥ''—one; ''sva-yoniṣu''—the source of manifestation; ''nānā iva''—like different entities; ''bhāti''—illuminates; ''viśva-ātmā''—the Lord as Paramātmā; ''bhūteṣu''—in the living entities; ''ca''—and; ''tathā''—in the same way; ''pumān''—the Absolute Person.

Translation: "The Lord, as Supersoul, pervades all things, just as fire permeates wood, and so He appears to be of many varieties, although He is the absolute one without a second."

Prabhupāda:

:''yathā hy avahito vahnir''
:''dāruṣv ekaḥ sva-yoniṣu''
:''nāneva bhāti viśvātmā''
:''bhūteṣu ca tathā pumān''
:([[SB 1.2.32|SB 1.2.32]])

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, is residing along with the living entity within the heart. ''Īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe arjuna tiṣṭhati'' ([[BG 18.61 (1972)|BG 18.61]]). This is confirmed in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'', that ''Īśvara'', the Supreme Personality, is residing in everyone's heart. In another place it is said, ''kṣetra-kṣetrajña'' chapter, ''kṣetra-jñaṁ cāpi māṁ viddhi sarva-kṣetreṣu bhārata'' ([[BG 13.3 (1972)|BG 13.3]]).

''Kṣetrajña'' means the knower of the body. I, you, every one of us, we are individual living entities. We are also ''kṣetrajña''. I know this is my body, this is my finger, this is my hair, this is my leg. ''Jña. Jña'' means one who knows. So I know, you know. You know about your body, I know about my body. Therefore we are all ''kṣetrajñas. Kṣetrajña'' means one who knows about his field of activities.

Everyone has been given, awarded, a certain type of field of activities for sense enjoyment. We want a certain type of body, certain type of sense enjoyment, and Kṛṣṇa gives us the facility through the agency of material nature. ''Prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśaḥ'' ([[BG 3.27 (1972)|BG 3.27]]).

Actually we are dependent. I want something; Kṛṣṇa gives us through the material agent. At the same time, He also accompanies, as a friend. The footnote is there, ''dvā suparṇā sayujā sakhāyā samānaṁ vṛkṣaṁ pariṣasvajāte tayor anyaḥ pippalaṁ svādv atty anaśnann anyo 'bhicākaśīti'' (''Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad'' 4.6). ''Śruti-mantra''.

So both the living entity and the Supersoul is sitting on the same tree. This body is supposed to be the tree, and the heart is supposed to be the nest. And in the nest, as there are two birds, similarly, there is one bird, the living entity, individual, and the Supersoul, both. One is eating the fruit; the other is simply observing, witnessing. ''Anumantā upadraṣṭā.''

''Anumantā'' means "giving order." Just like a child wants to take something, but he also depends on the order of the father. The child is insisting: "Father, I want this." Father says: "No, you don't take it." "I shall touch it. I shall touch the fire." Father says: "No, don't touch it." But he's insisting and crying, so father says: "All right, you touch." Similarly, we create our own fortune and misfortune. ''Ye yathā māṁ prapadyante tāṁs tathaiva bhajāmy aham'' ([[BG 4.11 (1972)|BG 4.11]]). So the father wants us to do something else, but we want to do something else against the wish of the father. Similarly, Kṛṣṇa wants that every one of us should surrender unto Him and work according to His direction, but we want to do against His will. Therefore we create our own fortune and misfortune. That is the way.

So there are different types of body, and each one is acting in a different way. Different way means the . . . why they are working different way? If the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Paramātmā, is the same in the . . . in each and every body—''īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe arjuna tiṣṭhati'' ([[BG 18.61 (1972)|BG 18.61]])—why one is acting different from the other? So one is acting different . . . that is the action of the individual soul. The Supersoul is there, simply sanctioning: "All right, you do like this." Because he's insisting, and He's sanctioning, "All right, you do like this."

Therefore ''nāneva bhāti viśvātmā. Viśvātmā'', the Supersoul, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, He appears to be acting differently. He's not acting differently. Just like the magistrate. Magistrate is giving different judgment, "This man should be treated like this. This man should be treated . . ." The man . . . the magistrate, is the same, but because the culprit is different, therefore he has got to give different judgment. Culprit is different; he's not different. He's one.

This is the proof that Paramātmā and ''jīvātmā'' are two different personalities. They're not one. This is the proof. Why? ''Nāneva bhāti viśvātmā.'' He's Viśvātmā, the Supersoul. Why one is acting as a hog, one is acting as a dog, one is acting as a demigod, Indra, Candra, Varuṇa? Why these differences?

We are all living entities, ''jīva-tattva'', and the Viśvātmā, the Supersoul, is the same in everyone's heart. Why they are acting differently? This is the proof that there is individual soul, ''jīvātmā'', and the Paramātmā. Paramātmā is sanctioning. The same example: the magistrate, or judge, is giving different judgment because the criminals, or the complainers, they are different. ''Nāneva bhāti viśvātmā bhūteṣu ca tathā pumān'' ([[SB 1.2.32|SB 1.2.32]]).

The example is given: ''yathā hy avahito vahnir dāruṣu''. In every wood there is fire. A small wood, there is small fire; in a big wood, there is big fire. The fire is the same, but according to the different size of the wood, fuel, the, the, what is, the flames of the fire appears to be different. The flames of the fire appears to be different because the living entity is different, of different types. They have got different desires, according to the contact of the material quality.

''Kāraṇaṁ guṇa-saṅgaḥ asya sad-asad-janma-yoniṣu.'' This is explained in the ''Bhagavad-gītā.'' Why they are different? Because ''kāraṇam'', the cause, is—''kāraṇam'' means cause—is ''guṇa-saṅgaḥ asya. Asya'', or this living entity, he is associating, contacting different qualities.

There are three qualities: ''sattva-guṇa, rajo-guṇa, tamo-guṇa''; and again, if you mix these three qualities, then three into three, it becomes nine. Then again mix it: nine into nine, it becomes eighty-one. Therefore there are 8,400,000 species of life, different qualities. ''Nāneva. Nāneva bhāti''. And in every living entity, within the heart of every living entity, the Viśvātmā, the Supersoul, is there.

So He's not different. As like the ''dāruṣu'', as the fuel wood are different, and therefore the flame appears to be different, similarly although Viśvātmā, the Supersoul, is one, because He's acting with individual soul differently according to his different association, mentality, desires . . .

Every account is kept. Just imagine how many numberless there are living entities. ''Asaṅkhya. Jīva-bhāgo sa vijñeyaḥ sa asaṅkhya kalpate.'' There is no . . . you cannot . . . innumerable. And each and every individual soul is doing according to his own desires, and every account is kept.

Just imagine how expert accountant is required. Every account is kept. Because he has to be offered again another body, taking account of his activities. ''Karmaṇā daiva-netreṇa'' ([[SB 3.31.1|SB 3.31.1]]). He's acting, innumerable living entities. So how big brain is Kṛṣṇa, you can just imagine. And not only one planet—there are innumerable planets, there are innumerable universes. Everything innumerable. That is called unlimited. Everything innumerable. And still, some rascal claims that he is God.

How much brain a God requires, he does not know. How big brain . . . ''anvayād itarataś ca artheṣu abhijñaḥ'' ([[SB 1.1.1|SB 1.1.1]]). These are analyzed, what is the nature of the Absolute Truth. ''Athāto brahma jijñāsā''. How He is? What He is? Immediately the answer is ''janmādy asya yataḥ'': "From Him, everything is emanating."

Everything is taking birth from Him. ''Janma''. Not only ''janma'', birth, but existence, maintenance, ''janmādi. Janmādi'' means birth, maintenance and death. Creation, maintenance and annihilation. ''Janmādi. Asya''. Anything you take, ''asya. Janmādy asya'' ([[SB 1.1.1|SB 1.1.1]]). ''Janmādy asya yataḥ.'' From whom everything is emanating, everything is taking birth, this cosmic manifestation, it is being maintained in Him. And again, when it is annihilated, it enters into His own energy. ''Prakṛtiṁ māṁ gacchati.''

From His ''prakṛti'', from His energy, Kṛṣṇa's energies, external energy, these five elements come out—earth, water, fire, air, sky. Five gross element and three subtle elements—mind, intelligence ego. This is the eight . . . these are the eight elements of material creation. Then all the living entities, those who wanted to enjoy this material world, they are impregnated within this material energy and they come out with different bodies for enjoying different types of sufferings or happiness. There is no happiness, it is all suffering, but we take: "It is happiness." That is called illusion.

So in this way the whole creation is going on under the direction of Kṛṣṇa. That is also stated in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'': ''mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sa-carācaram'' ([[BG 9.10 (1972)|BG 9.10]]). Under His supervision . . . just imagine how expert supervision is there, that the sun is rising exactly in the same moment as it is to be done. The waves of the sea are going on perpetually, but the waves cannot come beyond the limit.

We have walked on the sea beach. So just at ten, one, three feet, away the big ocean, Pacific Ocean is . . . but we are certain that this Pacific Ocean cannot come beyond this limit. We are certain. How we are certain? Because there is the order of Kṛṣṇa. ''Mayādhyakṣeṇa''. Because we know, I know, you know that there is God's order. The Pacific Ocean may be very, very big, but still, he cannot disobey the order of the Supreme. ''Mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sa-carācaram''. This is understanding of Kṛṣṇa.

Kṛṣṇa consciousness means you have to study everything, how things are going on. And this is stated. You have to simply think, "Yes." You have to confirm by your brain. If you have got dull brain, then how you can study? Kṛṣṇa says in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' that ''mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sa-carācaram.'' The ''prakṛti'', the material nature, is working under His direction.

And you can verify it, how nature is working correctly, exactly. Unless there is some systematic order, how everything is working systematically? As soon as there is spring, immediately thousands and millions of trees, immediately the foliage comes out. Immediately. And as soon as there is fall, September, last, all the leaves fall down, immediately.

So this is the process of creation. Just like in Bible it is said: "Let there be creation, and there was creation." So it is fact, actually. But we cannot understand how much powerful is Kṛṣṇa, or God. Simply by His will, simply by His will, everything takes place. Millions and millions things come out immediately, and millions and millions of things immediately annihilated. That is Kṛṣṇa. That is God. ''Mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sa-carācaram'' ([[BG 9.10 (1972)|BG 9.10]]).

So the Supersoul, Viśvātmā, He's one. But because we are different, therefore we are acting differently. The question may be raised that if Viśvātmā, the Supersoul, is one, why there are different activities? The different activities due to our will, our selection: "I want to act in this way." So He gives the facility.

Just like somebody wants to drink; the government gives license for liquor shop. Now, it is not that everyone is drinking, but there is facility for the drunkards. Because the drunkards want to drink, so government gives facility, "All right. Here is a liquor shop. You drink." But as soon as you commit some offense by drinking, you are arrested. So this arrest of the drunkard, is it the government's will or the person created such situation to be arrested? Eh?

So in this way, the whole world is going on. ''Samo 'haṁ sarva-bhūteṣu na me dveṣyo 'sti na priyaḥ'' ([[BG 9.29 (1972)|BG 9.29]]). Kṛṣṇa says: "I am equal to everyone. I don't . . . I'm not envious of everyone . . . er, anyone, or I am friendly to everyone." He's friendly. Actually He's friendly. But people say, accuse Him, "Why God has created this distress? Why I am suffering?" You are suffering for your own fault. God created you to become happy. He's happy. You are part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa. You should be happy. But you don't accept the way of happiness. That is your fault. You don't accept . . .

Kṛṣṇa says that you shall be happy in this way:

:''bhoktāraṁ yajña-tapasāṁ''
:''sarva-loka-maheśvaram''
:''suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānāṁ''
:''jñātvā māṁ śāntim ṛcchati''
:([[BG 5.29 (1972)|BG 5.29]])

Why you claim it is your property? Why you claim? Everything is belonging to Kṛṣṇa. That is your fault. So you must suffer. You are a thief. ''Stena eva sa ucyate'' ([[BG 3.12 (1972)|BG 3.12]]). Anyone who does not offer things to Kṛṣṇa before using, he's a thief. That is ''prasādam''. That is Vaiṣṇava philosophy.

The whole process is to accept the Supreme. So long we do not accept the Supreme, that is ''māyā''. That is ''māyā''. That is going on. Nobody wants to accept the Supreme. Everyone wants to become Supreme. Even after performing severe austerities, penances, still, they want to become one with the Supreme. This is also ''māyā''.

Therefore ''Bhāgavata'' says, ''vimukta-māninaḥ.'' They are thinking that after undergoing such severe austerities and penances, now he has become God. That is ''māyā''. He does not know. He's not God, but he claims like that, falsely. This is the cause of his suffering. Nobody can be . . . can become God or equal to God. That is not possible. The same quotation: ''ekale īśvara kṛṣṇa, āra saba bhṛtya'' ([[CC Adi 5.142|CC Adi 5.142]]). Only the Supreme God, Supreme Person, ''Īśvara'', supreme controller, is Kṛṣṇa. ''Kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam'' ([[SB 1.3.28|SB 1.3.28]]).

You are . . . why you are, rascal, trying to become Bhagavān, God? This is ''māyā''. He does not know. He's thinking that "I have become God." This is ''māyā. Aviśuddha-buddhayaḥ'' ([[SB 10.2.32|SB 10.2.32]]). ''Aviśuddha-buddhayaḥ'' means his intelligence is not yet cleansed. It's still dirty.

Although he has undergone good austerities, penances or taken ''sannyāsa'', but the mind is dirty. Mind is dirty. So that will not help. The whole process is ''ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanam.'' We have to cleanse our heart. We have to understand our position. Then it will be successful. If we don't cleanse our heart by regular chanting:

:''ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanaṁ bhava-mahā-dāvāgni-nirvāpaṇaṁ''
:''śreyaḥ-kairava-candrikā-vitaraṇaṁ vidyā-vadhū-jīvanam''
:''ānandāmbudhi-vardhanaṁ prati-padaṁ pūrṇāmṛtāsvādanaṁ''
:''sarvātma-snapanaṁ paraṁ vijayate śrī-kṛṣṇa-saṅkīrtanam''
:([[CC Antya 20.12|CC Antya 20.12]])

So we have to understand our position. The dirty things should be removed completely, always by hearing ''kṛṣṇa-kathā.'' That is the way of understanding. Only way. This Vṛndāvana is so important, valuable. Why? Because anywhere you go in Vṛndāvana, there is the opportunity of hearing ''kṛṣṇa-kathā''. This whole Vṛndāvana is simply cultivation of Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Unfortunately, we take to other consciousness here. Therefore we become condemned. In Vṛndāvana, if we take other consciousness, then we become condemned. Condemned means he—still, the opportunity's there—condemned to accept a body other than human being. But he's helped. Because he's in Vṛndāvana, he's making progress. Even as animal, as hogs and dogs, he's making progress, because he's in Vṛndāvana.

So Vṛndāvana is so important, because here anyone can get the opportunity of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Therefore it is so important. Vṛndāvana-dhāma. ''Dhāma'' means where Kṛṣṇa resides. That is called ''dhāma''. Vṛndāvana-dhāma. ''Ārādhyo bhagavān vrajeśa-tanayas tad-dhāmam'' (''Caitanya-maṣjusā''). ''Dhāmam'' means residence. ''Tad-dhāmam vṛndāvanam.''

So Vṛndāvana is not polluted. Vṛndāvana is always helping us. Anyone who comes to Vṛndāvana, he's helped immediately, even though he is criminal number one. But if we remain in criminal mentality in Vṛndāvana, then we have to accept another birth to suffer. Then it will be all right, and then again he will be elevated. Due to Vṛndāvana . . . the Vṛndāvana influence will act, but if we commit something against the Vṛndāvana principle, then we have to accept . . . ''Karmaṇā daiva-netreṇa'' ([[SB 3.31.1|SB 3.31.1]]).

''Karmāṇi nirdahati'' . . . it is said in the ''śāstra'', the ''karma'' is reduced for the devotees. That much facility's there. ''Karma'' is reduced means in other place if you commit some sinful activities, then you have to accept a body, and then evolution will take place gradually. Then you again come to human form of body.

Then again, if you are intelligent enough, you can utilize. But in Vṛndāvana the ''karmāṇi nirdahati'' . . . suppose for your sinful, criminal acts you become hogs and dog; next life you are elevated. That is ''karmāṇi nirdahati.'' The ''karma'', the cycle of fruitive activities, is reduced. But you have to accept. You have to accept. But ''nirdahati''.

But why should we waste our time accepting another body of dogs and hog? That we should be very much careful. Although it is ''nirdahati'', it is reduced, why should we accept even that reduced punishment? That should be our principle.

But we do not know. We commit ignorance. Therefore Rūpa Gosvāmī has described: sinful activities are done due to ignorance, ''ajñāna''. Just like a child touches the fire. Everyone knows if you touch fire, it will burn, but the child, out of ignorance, touches. Therefore the child is under the protection of the parents so that the child may not do something wrong and suffer.

So ''nāneva bhāti viśvātmā bhūteṣu ca tathā pumān.'' These varieties of living entities, it is due to the variety of desires of the living entity. Otherwise ''viśvātmā'', He's one. He's one. And the living entity is also one, because he's the manifestation of marginal potency of the Supreme. Therefore, as marginal potency, the living entity is one.

''Paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ'' ([[BG 5.18 (1972)|BG 5.18]]). One who knows that the living entities, they are part and parcels of Kṛṣṇa, and they belong to the marginal potency . . . therefore they do not see any difference out of the varieties of bodies. He sees only the spirit soul. And due to the varieties of body, the activities are different, although the director, the Supreme Soul, Supersoul, is the same, one. This is the conclusion. ''Yathā vahnir avahito'' . . .

:''yathā hy avahito vahnir''
:''dāruṣv ekaḥ sva-yoniṣu''
:''nāneva bhāti viśvātmā'' . . .
:([[SB 1.2.32|SB 1.2.32]])

So according to our body, we act differently. The direction and sanction is there by the Supersoul. This is the purport of this verse.

Thank you very much. Hare Kṛṣṇa. (end)

Prabhupāda: . . . comes from fire, smoke is not acceptable, but fire is acceptable. Similarly, although this ''māyā'', material world, is coming from Kṛṣṇa . . . ''mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate'' ([[BG 10.8 (1972)|BG 10.8]]), Kṛṣṇa says. ''Ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo, mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate. Sarvaṁ pravartate'' means ''māyā'' is also coming from Kṛṣṇa. That is a fact. The same example: smoke is coming from fire, but we require fire, not the smoke. This is required. We don't require the ''māyā's'' internal energy which disturbs seeing Kṛṣṇa.

There are so many examples: Just like cloud. Cloud is the production of the sun, sunshine. When the sunshine is very strong it evaporates water from the sea, and the air is evaporating from the cloud. That is scientific observation and experiment. But by the cloud, the sun is covered. (break)

We cannot see the sun. Similarly, this ''māyā'' is creation of God, ''mama māyā'', Kṛṣṇa says. ''Daivī hy eṣā guṇa-mayī mama māyā'' ([[BG 7.14 (1972)|BG 7.14]]). But this ''māyā'' covers the living entity so that the living entity forgets his eternal relationship with Kṛṣṇa. ''Mama māyā duratyayā''.

That is just like we have got experience by flying in the sky, the jets, they penetrate the clouds and travel above the clouds, there is immense sunshine. There is no more covering. Similarly, we have to come above the ''māyā'' to the transcendental position, and then we are in the sunshine; there is no more restriction.

So long we remain under the cloud we are covered; we cannot see the sun properly. Neither the people can utilize the sunshine properly. Similarly, if we remain within the control of this ''māyā'', then we cannot understand Kṛṣṇa as God. Then we cannot understand God. We have to transcend the position of cloud, or fog; then our life is successful, and that is devotional service.

If you remain constantly engaged in devotional service of Kṛṣṇa, ''māṁ ca 'vyabhicāreṇa, bhakti-yogena yaḥ sevate'' . . . we have got so many . . . (indistinct) . . . for serving Kṛṣṇa; if you always remained engaged in the service of Kṛṣṇa, then there is no question of ''māyā's'' entering. That is the transcendental position.

:''māṁ ca vyabhicāreṇa''
:''bhakti-yogena yaḥ sevate''
:''sa guṇān samatītyaitān''
:''brahma-bhūyāya kalpate''
:([[BG 14.26 (1972)|BG 14.26]])

Simply uttering ''ahaṁ brahmasmi'', that is not our goal, "I am Brahman." Actually I am spirit soul, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul. ''Mamaivāṁśo jīva-bhūtaḥ.'' All ''jīvas'' are part and parcel of God, Brahman, part of Brahman, as the spark of fire is also fire. Similarly, the part and parcel of Brahman is also Brahman. So the Vedic injunction is that you are Brahman, you are not this matter. So how you can be given, can be given 'potentially rich man' saying. Simply being that, "I am a very rich man. I am a very rich man," that will not satisfy you. You must become rich, actually then you can say, "I am rich man." Potentially rich man; therefore I am a rich man—no.

So these are the causes. Simply thinking "I am Brahman" will not help you. You must have gained the required qualities . . . and what is that?

:''māṁ ca 'vyabhicāreṇa''
:''bhakti-yogena yaḥ sevate''
:''sa guṇān samatītyaitān''
:''brahma-bhūyāya kalpate''
:([[BG 14.26 (1972)|BG 14.26]])

He is Brahman. He is realized Brahman, one who is engaged in the unflinching devotional service of the Lord—''vādinyā-brahma''—he has realized, so simply realization of will not help you. ''Ahaṁ brahmasmi'' . . .

(break) . . . will not help you means you cannot remain in the Brahman realization platform unless you fully realize the Supreme Lord. Full realization of Brahman means understanding Kṛṣṇa. ''Brahmeti paramātmeti bhagavān iti śabdyate'' ([[SB 1.2.11|SB 1.2.11]]). Brahman, Paramātmā, Bhagavān. Simply understanding ''ahaṁ brahmasmi'' will not help you. You must come to the point of ''brahmeti paramātmeti bhagavān iti''. First realize Brahman, then Paramātmā, then Bhagavān. But if you realize Bhagavān, automatically you realize Paramātmā and Brahman.

Therefore this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is directly . . . (indistinct) . . . contact with Bhagavān. Bhagavān. Because Bhagavān . . . what is the symptom of contacting Bhagavān? That is stated in ''Bhagavad-gītā, brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā'' ([[BG 18.54 (1972)|BG 18.54]]). If one has actually realized how his identification with Brahman, then immediately he will become very joyful. ''Brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā'', that is the symptom. He has no more any cause of being morose; he must be joyful, ''brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā.''

What is the symptom of joyfulness? ''Na śocati na kāṅkṣati'': he has no lamentation nor any desire to be fulfilled. He is fully satisfied. Just like Dhruva Mahārāja, when he saw the Supreme Personality in penance, he said: "My dear Lord, I am now fully satisfied." He went for ''tapasya'', for austerities, penances, in the forest, for getting the kingdom of his father or a better kingdom than his father. That was his aim. He was insulted by his stepmother, so on the advice of his mother he went to the forest. So he achieved some success by achieving his goal to attain a position better than his father and grandfather. Grandfather was not so much.

So he was engaged in that way, but when he actually saw the Supreme Personality of Godhead Nārāyaṇa, he said: "My dear sir . . ." Nārāyaṇa offered, "Now you take benediction whatever you like. I am now present. You have undergone so severe austerities. I am very much satisfied. Now you take . . . (indistinct) . . ." But at the same time Dhruva Mahārāja said, ''svāmin kṛtārtho 'smi varaṁ na yāce'' ([[CC Madhya 22.42|CC Madhya 22.42]]).

This is the position, ''brahma bhuta''. Simply by realizing Brahman one becomes passive, no more lamentation, no more material desire, and what to speak of when one is engaged directly in the service of Bhagavān. He doesn't have any material desires. That is ''bhakta. Svāmin kṛtārtho 'smi varaṁ na yāce.''

Therefore Caitanya Mahāprabhu says, ''na dhanaṁ na janaṁ na sundarīṁ kavitāṁ vā jagad-īśa kāmaye'' ([[CC Antya 20.29|CC Antya 20.29, Śikṣāṣṭaka 4]]). This is what the ''bhakta'' says. And what he says, there is no desire: ''anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyam'' (''Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu'' 1.1.11). No material desire. That is ''bhakti-yoga. Anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyaṁ jñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam''. We have got so many material desires, then desire to improve cultivation of knowledge, ''jñāna'' . . . (indistinct) . . . to merge into the existence of Brahman. That is also another desire.

Therefore Rūpa Gosvāmī says, ''anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyaṁ, jñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam. Karma-kāṇḍī'', fruitive activities, those who are engaged in pious activities, ''yajña-dāna-tapaḥ kriya''. By performing sacrifices and giving in charity, undergoing austerities, the aim is to be delivered in the higher planetary systems, ''svarga-loka, jana-loka, mahar-loka, tapa-loka, brahma-loka''. That is the result ''karmi'' action of the ''karmīs''. The ''jñānis'', the resultant action they want to merge into the existence of Brahman.

Therefore Rūpa Gosvāmī gives us instruction that pure devotional service, uncontaminated by any kind of desires, including the path of ''jñāna'' and ''yoga'' and ''karma''. Because that is also contaminated. The path of ''jñāna'', ''yoga'' or ''karma'', they are all. It may be in the higher stage of material existence, but that is not freedom from material existence. If you want freedom completely from material existence, and situated in eternal life of infinite knowledgable existence, then you have to take to this ''bhakti-yoga''.

''Bhakti-yoga'' means to try to understand Kṛṣṇa and serve Him, that is ''bhakti-yoga.'' Kṛṣṇa is explaining Himself in ''Bhagavad-gītā''; you try to understand. Some of you are now taking ''sannyāsi'', ''sannyāsa āśrama'', ''sannyāsa mantra'': ''Etāṁ sa āsthāya parātma-niṣṭhām''. When you accept ''sannyāsa'', means taking vow that, "I shall act only for Kṛṣṇa service," ''parātmā-niṣṭhām . . . pūrvatamair mahadbhir'' . . . what is that? ''Etāṁ''?

Pradyumna: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Now those who are taking ''sannyāsa'' take this ''mantra''. (Prabhupāda chants each word and they respond)

:''Etāṁ sa āsthāya parātma-niṣṭhām upāsitāṁ pūrvatamair maha'' . . .

(break) In the ''Vedas'' it is said that I am accepting this ''sannyāsa'' for ''mukundam aṅghri niṣevayaiva'', to serve the lotus feet of Mukunda, ''mukundam aṅghri niṣevayaiva''. And by this process, by serving the lotus feet of ''mukundāṅghri'', ''ahaṁ tariṣyāmi, duranta-pāram tamo.''

This material world is called ''tamo''. The Vedic injunction is ''tamasi mā jyotir gama'': "Don't remain within this darkness of material world." This material world is by nature dark. We live in—enlightened by the sunshine, moonshine, electricity. Just like the sunshine is over now. We are now . . . (indistinct) . . . chasing the sunshine, we require electricity, or moonshine. So actually the position of this material world is darkness. Therefore it is called ''tamah. Ahaṁ tariṣyāmi, duranta-pāram tamo.''

''Duranta-pāram'' this material sky over the material world, is very, very . . . (indistinct) . . . just like you have seen the sky, it is covering, but we have no power to, I mean to say, overcome . . . (indistinct) . . . so called Sputnik and aeroplanes, they are in and it is covered but nobody has covered the whole space. That is not possible. It is so big; therefore it is called ''duranta-pāram. Duranta-pāram'', the structure is so great that with your teeny sputniks, they calculate that if you want to go to the limit of this universe, it will take 40,000 of years at the speed of light years. That is beyond your imagination. Unlimited space, you can see, therefore it is called ''duranta-pāram.''

So you have to cross this ''duranta-pāram'', unlimited space of the material world, then you come to the spiritual world. Where there is Brahman effulgence. ''Tamasi mā jyotir gama.'' The aim of life is to cross over this darkness, this vast patch of darkness, and go to the spiritual world that is the . . . there is covering there also, as in this material world. Ten times, or hundred times, seventy times bigger than this space that is covering. So how you can cross over this material world of darkness? Simply by ''mukundāṅghri niṣevayaiva''. Simply by serving the lotus feet of Mukunda, you can cross over this great existence of material world. ''Etāṁ sa āsthāya. Etāṁ sa āsthāya, parātma-niṣṭhām''. This ''sannyāsa'' means firm faith in Kṛṣṇa: ''parātmā-niṣṭhām.''

So it is not that you are accepting this position something new. ''Pūrvatamair mahadbhiḥ.'' Many, many great saintly ''ācāryas'', they accepted. Just like in our line Caitanya Mahāprabhu accepted; my Guru Mahārāja accepted this order of life; I have accepted. This is not a new thing. That is ''paramparā''. These are all ''ācāryas'' have accepted, our spiritual master also, Madhvācārya accepted, Viṣṇusvāmī accepted. But it is not that sannyāsa is only in the Śaṅkara sampradāya—the Vaiṣṇava-sampradāya. Long, long ago, perhaps you have read in the ''Kṛṣṇa Book'', that Arjuna pretended to be ''sannyāsī''.

So we should not pretend to take ''sannyāsa'', but actually take, and ''mukundāṅghri niṣevayaiva'', simply for serving Mukunda. If you, you are young men, you insisted, so I have given you order with hope, that you stick to the transcendental loving service at the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa. Then you will be very strong. ''Mām eva ye prapadyante, māyām etāṁ taranti te''. If you stick, if you catch hold of the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa very tightly, ''māyā'' will not be able to touch you—rest assured. But don't forget, this is important thing, ''aham tariṣyāmi mukundāṅghri'' . . .

When Caitanya Mahāprabhu took ''sannyāsa'', He was only twenty-four years old. So Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya suspected that He was to enjoy women, "You have taken ''sannyāsa'', so You must read ''Vedānta'' twenty-four hours, learn from me." He was teaching ''Vedānta'' at that time. So there was ''Vedānta'' conversation, later with Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya and Caitanya Mahāprabhu. So . . . and Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya soon became a disciple of Caitanya Mahāprabhu after the argument of ''Vedānta''. That was the system: when there is some argument between two parties, the defeated party becomes a disciple of the victorious party. That was formerly the system; not that you talk for hours and nobody becomes disciple of nobody. Simply this is waste of time.

So you are, ''sannyāsīs'' who are accepting this order, you are going outside India. We require many preachers, because to fulfill the mission of Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Caitanya Mahāprabhu desired:

:''bhārata-bhūmite haila manuṣya-janma yāra''
:''janma sārthaka kari' kara para-upakāra''
:([[CC Adi 9.41|CC Adi 9.41]])

It is the duty of Indians to preach this cult of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, or Kṛṣṇa consciousness, all over the world, to do some welfare to the people in general. Because outside India they are in darkness practically, because there is no guidance. India is envied with the experience of so many sages and saintly persons. If this experience of spiritual knowledge simply spread all over the world so that they may be defeated, and their poorer lives may be successful. This is our mission, Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement you have taken the risk to (loud bell ringing) of going to Bangkok when I was coming from Manila) I met one gentleman from Bangkok he was very much anxious to receive us so by the grace of Kṛṣṇa you are going forward I shall thank you can take the address of that gentleman by going and being helpful in so many ways.

Thank you very much. (end)

These lectures were given by Śrīla Pūri Mahārāja and Śrīla Prabhupāda (Śrīla Prabhupāda's lecture starts at 22:50 mins) (Translated from Bengali)

I offer my obeisances to the lotus feet of Svāmiji Maharaja, and all the devotees of Bhagavān, present here.

Today, on this auspicious land of ours where Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu appeared four hundred and eighty-six years ago, on that land all of you have gathered here.

Svāmiji Mahārāja, who is propagating Śriman Mahaprabhu's teachings, all over the world in countries outside India, and within a very short time has preached to people of foreign lands who have now joined his mission, and has visualised building the tallest temple in the world that will touch the skies. It is a great fortune because no other temple of such proportions will be one of its kind.
This is Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's gift, not only to Bengal, but to the whole world. He is one who is most munificent and charitably disposed.

:''namo mahā-vadānyāya kṛṣṇa-prema-pradāya te ''
:''kṛṣṇāya kṛṣṇa-caitanya-nāmne gaura-tviṣe namaḥ''
:([[CC Madhya 19.53]])

What is that gift that Sri Caitanya Mahāprābhu has gifted? It is ''Kṛṣṇa-prema''. In this present day, that love is being distributed in foreign countries. Caitanya Mahāprabhu has said,

:''pṛthivīte āche yata nagaradi grāma''
:''sarvatra pracāra haibe mora nāma''
:(''Śrī Caitanya Bhāgavata Antya-khaṇḍa'' 4.126)

This name is being distributed all over the world. This spiritually exalted man has propagated all over the world, the message of Mahāprabhu who appeared in Navadvīpa in district Nadia. This is most amazing, and I am not sure if in the future, anyone is going to be able to make such a great contribution. This is why we have all been able to congregate here on this sacred land along with many people from all over the world who are constantly engaged in congregational chanting of the holy name in various ways to preach the message of Mahāprabhu.

In the movie that will be shown today, you will see how devotees in foreign countries are preaching the message of Mahāprabhu, and how the foreigners are listening to the words of Mahāprabhu. This is Mahāprabhu's vāni that is being propagated. Mahāprabhu's message that is known there as Kṛṣṇa consciousness. This means,

:''Jīvera 'svarūpa' haya-kṛṣṇera 'nitya-dāsa''
:''kṛṣṇera ‘taṭasthā-śakti' ‘bhedābheda-prakāśa ''
:([[CC Madhya 20.108-109|CC Madhya 20.108]])

Mahāprabhu's internal potency Sanātana Gosvāmī, asked Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu in Kāśī dham, "''Ke āmi'' . . .

:''Ke āmi, kene āmāya jāre tāpa-traya''
:''ihā nāli jāni-kemane hita haya''
:([[CC Madhya 20.102]])

:''āpanāra hitāhita kichui nā jāni''
:''grāmya-vyavahāre paṇḍita tāi satya māni''
:([[CC Madhya 20.100]])

Sanātana Gosvāmī said, "I am a learned man in ordinary dealings because all these years I was a minister in Hussain Shah Badshah's government. I am educated all material knowledge, I am not a fool, yet I do not know who I am."

Then, Mahāprabhu said: "Your true identity is that you are a spirit soul and an eternal servant of Krsna. You have forgotten Krsna, and have come to this material world, and you are being carried away by the waves of ''māyā'', sometimes up, sometimes down."
Sanātana Gosvāmī is an eternally liberated soul, yet he asked just a question, for the sake of teaching us.

The constitutional position of a living entity is to be an eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa. An eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa is meant to constantly worship Kṛṣṇa. When such a servant renders devotional service to Kṛṣṇa, by the dint of such service the living entity is able to elevate and regain the spiritual form and eternal devotional service to Bhagavān, the Supreme Lord. It is this Kṛṣṇa-''kīrtana'', or chanting of the holy names, that is Kṛṣṇa consciousness . . . by hearing this word, please do not think that this is a new creation, this process of the living entity rendering devotional service to Bhagavān is being practiced since time immemorial. The living entities in this world have turned their backs, and is therefore forced by the material nature to forget Kṛṣṇa.

:''bhayaṁ dvitīyābhiniveśataḥ syād ''
:''īśād apetasya viparyaya-smṛtiḥ''
:([[SB 11.2.37]])

In this time and age, the living entity is becoming shattered, and the reason for that is the living entity's forgetfulness of Bhagavān, the Supreme Person. There are two mistakes that living entities are committing. Firstly, they have forgotten their eternal spiritual identity. Secondly, having forgotten their true identity, they have surrendered to the false ego identifying the self as the body, believing that everything related to the body is their possession. By surrendering to anger, greed and lust, the living entity is suffering being tossed around by ''māyā'', sometimes up and sometimes down. These living entities will be able get respite from the onslaught of ''māyā'', if they are able to receive the blessing of a bona fide spiritual master.

:''brahmāṇḍa bhramite kona bhāgyavān jīva''
:''guru-kṛṣṇa-prasāde pāya bhakti-latā-bīja''
:([[CC Madhya 19.151]])

After transmigrating through millions of bodies and births in this material world, if a living entity receives the mercy of a bona fide spiritual master, then it is possible to realise the true identity of the self, engage in the living entities' original spiritual occupation of devotional service, and regain the eternal spiritual form. That original spiritual occupation of devotional service is known as Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

The living entity by forgetting Kṛṣṇa is suffering in the blazing fire of ''māyā'' in this material world. However, if the living entity returns towards Kṛṣṇa, engages in devotional service to Kṛṣṇa, and derives joy, then it is possible to get freedom from the clutches of ''māyā'', and get released from the bindings of the mundane world.

This is the message that he is preaching. By listening to this message, all these people from foreign countries like America whose forefathers had never heard the name of Bhagavān, the Supreme Person, neither did they know about chanting the holy names of Kṛṣṇa, they are now constantly chanting the the names of the Supreme Lord. Not just that, they are studying, and have understood and accepted the philosophy because without study of the scriptures and conclusions of the previous bona fide spiritual authorities, we cannot discuss the activities and pastimes of the Bhagavan. Therefore, they have surrendered themselves after studying and understanding the bona fide scriptures, as taught by the authorities of the disciplic succession . . . ''ataḥ pumbhir dvija-śreṣṭhā'' ([[SB 1.2.13]]) or ''Hari-bhakti-vilāsa''

If a ''caṇḍāla'' is a devotee of Hari, the Supreme Lord, such a person is considered to be the top-most. We must not think that these people are outsiders, foreigners, outcasts, and they have no right to be a part of the Vaiṣṇava community. They have the right. They have the right to devotional service of the Supreme Person, Bhagavān. They have follow all the rules and regulations of devotional service. They have surrendered themselves, and are chanting the holy names of the Supreme Person, all the time. They do not just perform congregational chanting of the holy name, you will notice that they also chant ''japa''. And they are always enquiring and discussing topics related to Kṛṣṇa. They are not outcaste.

Regarding this matter, when Caitanya Mahāprabhu met Vallabha Ācārya, a Vedic scholar and ''brāhmaṇa'', he said, "Do not pay attention to them. They are ''śūdra''." Mahaprabhu said, "They are not ''śūdra''. They are always chanting the holy names of the Supreme Lord Hari, so they cannot be ''śūdras''."

Those who are chanting the holy names of the Supreme Person are always performing austerity, sacrifice and receiving its benefits. Hence, "''śvādo 'pi sadyaḥ savanāya kalpate''" ([[SB 3.33.6]]). Even a person born in a family of dog-eaters immediately becomes eligible to perform Vedic sacrifices if he once utters the holy name of the Supreme Personality of Godhead . . ." There are many such evidences.

Therefore, we have to think, "These are foreigners. How can we associate with them?" However, they are exalted and learned because they are immersed in the devotional service of the Supreme Person, Hari. Please observe their humility, their soft attitude, their constantly being engaged in chanting the holy names. By observing these qualities, we understand that they are pious. "''catur-vidhā bhajante māṁ, janāḥ sukṛtino 'rjuna'' :([[BG 7.16 (1972)|Bhagavad-gītā 7.16]])

Those who are impious cannot chant the holy names of Kṛṣṇa. Those who are pious chant the holy names of Kṛṣṇa. Who are those who chant Kṛṣṇa's name?

:''manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu''
:''kaścid yatati siddhaye''
:''yatatām api siddhānāṁ''
:''kaścin māṁ vetti tattvataḥ''
:([[BG 4.34 (1972)|Bhagavad-gītā 4.34]])

Not just that, even amongst millions of those who are liberated, the devotees of Kṛṣṇa are rare. We can observe that this is the breed of Kṛṣṇa devotees that these people belong to. Just because they are foreigners, we do not have to despise them or reject them. We must not despise them. They are Vaiṣṇava, chanting the names of Bhagavān the Supreme Person, they are not chanting any other names. Therefore, by being close to them, we have a lot to learn. We are people of Bengal where Mahāprabhu appeared but the people of Bengal are not accepting Mahāprabhu's message. Only these foreigners have accepted Mahāprabhu's message, and they are teaching us how to chant the holy names of Hari, the Supreme Person.

"''kathā gānaṁ nāṭyaṁ gamanam''". The inhabitants of Vṛndavan, their speech is a song, their walk is an education in dance. Just like ''Bharata-nātyam''. Some people open a school or an institute to learn dance forms like these, but they are chanting without any such learning. "''Sevonmukhe hi jihvādau svayam eva sphuraty adaḥ''" (''Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu'' 1.2.234).

If we observe them, we get the feeling that this is how the chanting and dancing must have taken place when Mahaprabhu was here. Mahaprabhu used to go to every town and village and perform ''nagara-kīrtana'' or loud chanting of the holy names through the streets of towns and villages." In the same mode, there is still a little bit of this ''kīrtana'' in Bengal. With Mahāprabhu's blessings, we can now see such ''kīrtana'' being performed again.

Therefore, if we have the courage and are fearless, then we have to accept these devotees are Vaiṣṇavas. They have come to this process after giving up a life of material enjoyment, and the affluence and comfortable life. The kind of material enjoyment they have experienced is not available here. They have given up that life and accepted one of simple living after offering everything to Bhagavān, the Supreme Person. They do not even smoke, take any intoxicants, and neither do they drink coffee or tea. This is surprising.

People of think country think twice before keeping a ''tiki'' (''śikhā'') and performing ''Hari-nama'', thinking of what people will say. We do not wear ''tilaka'', do not wear Tulasī beads. However, these devotees are fearlessly wearing beads, and performing ''Hari-nama'', they are therefore worthy of our respect and worship. They have come here and have a lot to share, so please listen to what they say.

Respected Svāmiji, has within a very short time established in several centers all of the world. The holy names of the Supreme Lord is being preached through these centers. A Japanese scientist has stated that if the propagation of the holy name continues in this manner, then by 1981 it will spread to every village and every corner of this planet. If it is not being preached so widely then how would so many devotees be present here. This is the prediction of the ''mahājanas''.

Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has said that, 'When will white-skinned people from foreign lands join us in an embrace and dance to the chanting of the holy names." They are now dancing. Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura's desire is now being fulfilled. Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmi desire is being fulfilled. And the person through whom this prophecy is being fulfilled has to be thought of as a greatly elevated spiritual man, and we do not have to worry about anything because look how many people have arrived from foreign lands and are chanting the holy names. They are now reviving these abilities that have always been there within us by performing the congregational chanting of the holy names of the Supreme Person. Please perform ''nāma-sankīrtana.'

This is the aim Kṛṣṇa consciousness. This aim and objective, that is known in English as Kṛṣṇa consciousness, do think of this as a foreign import, no, this is your own ''dharma'', my ''dharma'', your ''dharma'' and every living entities ''dharma''. This being preached all over the world in accordance with Caitanya Mahāprabhu's message, Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī, Rūpa Gosvāmi, Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura, and the words of all the Vaiṣṇavas in this disciplic succession.

The present ''ācārya'' who is the founder-''ācārya'' of this consciousness movement, he his spreading this message fearlessly that Kṛṣṇa is Bhagavān, the Supreme Person, he is propagating this emphatically saying, "Listen everyone! Please read the ''Gītā, Bhāgavatam'', Upanishads. Do not hesitate to establish Bhagavān, the Supreme Person, whose form is eternal, full of knowledge and bliss. Please accept Kṛṣṇa, understand who He is, understand His transcendental form."

In the ''Brahma-saṁhitā'' it is said,

:''anādir ādir govindaḥ''
:''sarva-kāraṇa-kāraṇam ''
:(Bs. 5.1).

"''Īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ''". Who is ''īśvaraḥ''? Who is Parameśvara? Parameśvara, the Supreme Controller, is Śrī Kṛṣṇa, in the form of Śyamasundara, Muralī-dhāri. He has a form. He form is eternal, full of knowledge and bliss. He has established this fact fearlessly. I have observed this through his lectures and writing. No other ''ācārya'' before has preached in this message that Kṛṣṇa is Bhagavān, the Supreme Person, and His eternal, full of knowledge and bliss, as fearlessly all over the world and he has. He has translated to English, two extremely valuable scriptures, with many pictures in them, that people in foreign countries are reading and being amazed because no other ''ācārya'' has ever succeeded in achieving.

No other person to preach about Kṛṣṇa in this manner has taken birth, and it is most amazing that scriptures worth six-''lakhs'' every month, are being bought and listened to by people. It is not the question of money, rather it is wonderful that so many people are eagerly listening about Kṛṣṇa and His pastimes. Mahāprabhu has said that these pastimes and glories about Kṛṣṇa must be preached, "''ārādhyo bhagavān vrajeśa-tanayaḥ, vrajeśa-tanayaḥ tad-dhāmavṛndāvanam''".

Mahāprabhu said, "Worship Kṛṣṇa, who is the son of Nanda Mahārāja." So, this what the entire preaching mission is emphasising. Worship and disciplined practice of chanting the names of Kṛṣṇa - this is the only way. ''Śreya-mārga'' is ''nāma-sankīrtan''. In Kali-yuga, in all ages but particularly during the age of Kali, chanting the holy names of Kṛṣṇa is the only recommended practice, that leads to realisation of the spiritual-self and form. These are the topics that Mahārāja is preaching all over the world. And people are listening. The ones who never listened, and there was no one who went to foreign countries who distribute this so that people could listen.

People are eager to listen and want to listen to more. However, there is a lack of enough people to spread this message to each person, so Mahārāja, in his old age, is trying to preach this message all by himself in so many countries without wasting anytime. I believe, after this he is going to Australia which is very far away. People are starving to listen to Kṛṣṇa's pastimes and glories. By his mercy, so many devotees have assembled here today, and slowly Mahāprabhu's huge temple is going to be built here, and this will give ''lakhs'' of people from all over the world to listen to Mahāprabhu's glories. We too will listen and be inspired. Now, Svāmiji will speak and all of you will listen.

:''vanca kalpatarubhyas ca krpa sindhubhya eva ca ''
:''patitanam pavanebhyo vaisnavebhyo namo namah''

Śrīla Prabhupāda:

. . . ''vrinda, matri-vrinda'', all of you have enthusiastically gathered here to listen to narrations about this Kṛṣṇa consciousness society, I thank all of you.

All my disciples who are present here, do not understand the Bengali language. This lecture that we are giving today is one or one and a half hours long, and for it would be difficult someone who does not understand the language, to quietly sit through it for so long. However, even though they do not understand Bengali, because there is so much mercy in the narrations of Kṛṣṇa's pastimes and glories, that just to hear the word 'Kṛṣṇa' every now and then, is sufficient to make them sit quietly and listen.

Whenever someone brought any writing to our ''gurudeva'', he would check to see if Kṛṣṇa and Caitanya Mahāprabhu's names have been mentioned many times, he would then approve of the written piece.

It is a fact that ''Kṛṣṇa-kathā'' is very pleasing and beneficial. Kṛṣṇa helps from within.

:''śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇa''
:''puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ''
:''hṛdy antaḥ stho hy abhadrāṇi''
:''vidhunoti suhṛt satām''
:([[SB 1.2.17]])

:''naṣṭa-prāyeṣv abhadreṣu''
:''nityaṁ bhāgavata-sevayā''
:''bhagavaty uttama-śloke''
:''bhaktir bhavati naiṣṭhikī''
:([[SB 1.2.18]])

''Kṛṣṇa-kathā'' is "''puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ''". If a person only listens, even without understanding anything, it is beneficial. The words itself are like that which is known as transcendental vibration in English. Just by listening to the sound bestows auspiciousness. "''Puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ''". It is auspicious for the person who is listening, as well the person narrating.
According to our scriptures, there are two kinds of activities – auspicious and sinful. This is mentioned in the scriptures. There is no point in throwing caution to wind and ignoring this.

I had explained yesterday what sinful activities are – demonic or sinful activities, and ''devata-kārya'' or auspicious activities. Śrī Rāmānujācārya-pāda has stated that those who listen to and accept the words of the Supreme Person, they are demigods, and those who deny the words of Bhagavān, and do not want to listen to Him, are demon. The ones who do not want to believe in the Supreme Person are demons. Those who are demonic are troubled by the Lord's illusory energy. All of you must be aware, how Mother Durgā chastises the demon.

Hare Kṛṣṇa.

(Devotees chanting ''japa'')

Purī Mahāraja: The electricity will be restored soon, so please be seated.

Śrīla Prabhupāda: Please sit down. (sside) They will not be able to hear. This is a big problem.

The demonic tendencies are not going to be tolerated by material nature. This is the law of this world. We worship Durgā in Bengal. We have seen that next to Mother Durgā, there is Lakṣmī, Sarasvatī, Ganeṣa, Kārtika, above her head, there is Śiva, and there is the lion and the demon. And what is Mother Durgā doing? She has ten arms, and each hand is holding a different weapon. And the lion has been sent after the demon, just as sometimes we send a dog to chase after someone. The lion is biting with its teeth and has captured the demon with its nails. Other than this, she has a ''triśūl'' that is embedded in the demon's chest.

All of you must have seen pictures and this is according to the scriptures. Those who are demons . . . who are these demons? Rāmanujācarya, and the ''Bhagavad-Gītā'' explains that those who do not listen to Bhagavān, or do not believe in Him, they are demons. Material nature is definitely going to punish them. This is natural. The happiness and distress that we can observe in this world is all due to a lack of devotion to the Supreme Person.

:''Bhagavad-bhakti-hīnasya jātiḥ śāstraṁ japas tapaḥ''
:''aprāṇasyeva dehasya maṇḍanaṁ loka-rañjanam''
:(''Hari-bhakti-sudhodaya'' 3.11)

Occupationally, they maybe renowned scientists, warriors, businessman, industrialists – however, if there is no devotion to the Supreme Lord, then all those decorations, big houses, big factories, big workshops, big cars, or even this electricity – all these things are then reduced to 'decoration of the dead body'.

Sometimes we may find that a needy person may live all their lives in torn clothes but when the person dies, they wrap the body with an expensive shawl. So, what satisfaction does the dead body gain from that shawl? But the family members are feeling proud that their father or grandfather has been decorated with a shawl for the cremation . . . (end)

Prabhupāda: . . . ''ayatnataḥ'', nobody is very careful to invite distress. Everyone is working very hard, undergoing severe austerities, penances, for becoming happy not for becoming distressed. But distress overcomes us even without any endeavor, without any austerities, it comes always. Prahlāda Mahārāja says that as distress comes without any endeavor similarly because you have got a particular type of body so your standard of happiness is already there. Why you are wasting time for improving your standard of. The whole world is struggling with standard, in India independence means they are trying to bring it—the Western ways of life, technology, industry. But they do not know that Indian body is specially meant for something else—spiritual realization. That is indicated by Lord Caitanya:

:''bhārata-bhūmite manuṣya janma haila yāra''
:''janma sārthaka kari' kara para-upakāra''
:([[CC Adi 9.41|CC Ādi 9.41]])

The Indian body is especially meant for spiritual cultivation. These rascals they do not know. They are simply imitating artificially therefore they take up, copy, everything is chaos, to put horse before a cart. Indian body is especially meant for spiritual culture. We have just been, saw in the Kumbha-melā, millions of people simply coming for taking a dip into the Ganges. Without any advertisement, without any propaganda. Why? Automatically they are inclined to make spiritual advancement. They are so faithful that it is in the ''śāstra'' it is written that during Māgha-melā, if one lives there for one month and takes a dip in to the Ganges and confluence of Ganges and Yamunā at such-and-such time. Just see. A big city was constructed, unique in the world. You cannot find in any other part of the world that people who are so much religiously, I mean to say enthusiastic. But these rascals, they do not know. They are bringing in technology for India. This is very important point. Therefore Prahlāda Mahārāja says that:

:''sukham aindriyakaṁ daityā''
:''deha-yogena dehinām''
:([[SB 7.6.3|SB 7.6.3]])

The happiness, standard of happiness is according to this body you have got. So you have got Indian body, why you are trying for technology? ''Duḥkham ayatnataḥ'' ([[SB 7.6.3|SB.7.6.3]]): so it is a platform of cooperation therefore Caitanya Mahāprabhu says that those who have got Indian body their duty is to utilize the instructions, the books, the philosophy, the religious procedure left by great sages. Especially by Vyāsadeva, by Nārada, by Asita, by Devala, the six Gosvāmīs, ''ṣaḍ-gosvāmīs''. It is their duty, to study all these literatures, to assimilate their purpose. Why they made so many literatures? About Gosvāmīs it is said that:

:''nānā-śāstra-vicāraṇaika-nipuṇau''
:''sad-dharma-saṁsthāpakau ''
:''lokānāṁ hita-kāriṇau tri-bhuvane''
:''mānyau śaraṇyākarau''
:(''Ṣaḍ-gosvāmy-aṣṭaka'' 2)

The next order of this literature: ''lokānāṁ hita-kāriṇau''—simply for the benefit of the whole human society. As such every Indian's duty is to assimilate the essence of the ''śāstras'' and that makes his life perfect and with that perfect ideas of life they should go all over the world and preach this cult of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Then it . . . Indians, Indians are meant for that and. And you can distribute your knowledge but if you require some material benefit, the Western countries, they are far advanced, why try yourself to manufacture motorcar? There is so many motorcar manufacturers outside India, better motorcars, just import at—as a cheaper price, better goods. No, that they will not do. They'll start a motor, third-class motor industry and exploit the people which they could purchase at three thousand or say five thousand rupees, they have to pay here fifty thousand, seventy thousand, and wait for six months for a car. This is rascaldom. Why shall I waste my time for manufacturing motorcar when it is available at seven thousand rupees? Better save my time, just cultivate spiritual life, Kṛṣṇa consciousness and go. They are so much eager to accept this Hare Kṛṣṇa movement, the government is callous, they are not encouraging even this movement. I am personally . . . (indistinct) . . . nobody is.

This is the anology Prahlāda Mahārāja said: "No, don't try artificially for your happiness." You are. You should be satisfied that a particular type which I have got, that is the standard of my happiness and distress, so I should be satisfied. That is the philosophy of devotee, devotee is never distressed, even artificially they are sometimes seen in distressed, they do not accept it distress: ''tat te 'nukampāṁ susamīkṣamāṇo'' ([[SB 10.14.8|SB 10.14.8]]).

They can see that whatever it may be, distress or happiness, it is all Kṛṣṇa's mercy. That is the devotee's view, they are not disturbed: ''yasmin sthito guruṇāpi duḥkhena na vicālyate'' ([[BG 6.20-23 (1972)|BG 6.22]]).

If one is situated in Kṛṣṇa consciousness even in the severest type of distress he is not disturbed, ''guruṇāpi''. Guru means very heavy, ''guruṇāpi duḥkhena'', by distress . . . (indistinct) . . . ''na vicālyate'', he is not disturbed. He knows that whatever is there, it is Kṛṣṇa's mercy. "Let me make my progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness unhampered, without meaning. ''Apratihatā'', Kṛṣṇa consciousness is so nice that no material impediments can check it, it will go on, ''apratihatā ahaituky'', ''yayātmā suprasīdati'' ([[SB 1.2.6|SB 1.2.6]]) and by that way you can have peace of your ''ātmā''.

:''sarvatra labhyate daivād''
:''yathā duḥkham ayatnataḥ''
:([[SB 7.6.3|SB 7.6.3]])

Each word, that is the significance of ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'', each and every word is so selected, so rightly placed, that you can not suggest anything better than. That is ''śāstra'', without any error, without any mistake, without any cheating and without any imperfection. This is ''śāstra''. ''Tat-prayāso na kartavyo'' ([[SB 7.6.4|SB 7.6.4]]).

Therefore Prabhlada Mahārāja says: "Don't try, don't waste your time for technology my dear demons." ''Daityā'', he says: "My dear demons." His class-friends he addressed "''daityā''". ''Tat-prayāso na kartavyo'', ''na kartavyo'', "Don't waste your time for such endeavors." ''Yata āyur-vyayaḥ param'', "The result is that you have got valuable duration of human life, you are simply wasting." ''Yata āyur'', "Now just see how much foolish we are?" The whole modern civilization is going on—on this process, simply wasting time but if you say that, "You are wasting time," they will laugh. But we have to accept the statements of ''mahājans'' that this kind of attempt for material improvement is simply waste of time, ''āyur-vyayaḥ param''. ''Āyur''—you can not increase your life by a second. The duration of your life is so valuable that you can not increase a moment of your life by paying millions of dollars. Now we have passed, yesterday, what is called, third month or fourth month, yesterday?

Devotee: Fourth.

Prabhupāda: Fourth month, 1971. Can you bring 1971 fourth month again by paying millions of dollars? No. Then if that fourth month 1971 was wasted then how much money we have wasted, just imagine. Suppose you have got a diamond, it is a million dollars worth. So if it is lost for nothing are you not sorry? "Oh I lost my diamond, millions of dollars worth." But your are so foolish you do not know that you have wasted your fourth month 1971 without Kṛṣṇa consciousness and you are still proud that you are making progress. You do not know the worth of your loss. Therefore wasting time for sense gratification, Prahlāda Mahārāja says: "No, no. Don't do it." ''Na tathā tat-prayāso na kartavyo'': "Don't endeavor in that way." ''Yata āyur-vyayaḥ param'', "Simply the process is that you waste your valuable life, that's all."

:''na tathā vindate kṣemaṁ''
:''mukunda-caraṇāmbujam''
:([[SB 7.6.4|SB 7.6.4]])

:''yatas tathā tena prakāreṇa kṣemaṁ na prāpnoti''
:(''Bhāvārtha-dīpikā'' 7.6.4)

''Kṣemaṁ'', ''kṣemaṁ'' means protection, you can not get any protection by wasting time of your life. ''Na tathā vindate kṣemaṁ mukunda-caraṇāmbujam'': but if you become Kṛṣṇa conscious, fixed-up on the lotus feet of Mukunda. Mukunda is another name of Kṛṣṇa, "One whose lotus feet can give us liberation," He's called Mukunda. ''Na tathā vindate kṣemaṁ mukunda-caraṇāmbujam''. You can not be happy, you can not make any progress of your life, this valuable human form of life, by any other means except by becoming Kṛṣṇa conscious.

:''tato yateta kuśalaḥ''
:''kṣemāya bhavam āśritaḥ''
:''śarīraṁ pauruṣaṁ yāvan''
:''na vipadyeta puṣkalam''
:([[SB 7.6.5|SB 7.6.5]])

"My dear friends, demons, therefore you try to act auspiciously." ''Bhavam āśritaḥ'', "Why you are in this material world," ''bhava'', this world is called ''bhava'', ''bhava-samudra'', "the ocean of birth and death." ''Bhava'' means, "To become," to appear and disappear. Appear means you were not present, so appear and disappear, ''bhūtvā bhūtvā pralīyate'' ([[BG 8.19 (1972)|BG 8.19]]). So ''bhavam āśritaḥ'', so long you are under the clutches of the material energy, accepting birth and death repeatedly, ''bhavam āśritaḥ''. So ''kṣemāya kuśalaḥ'', "Just try for your auspicity. Don't waste your time." ''Tato yateta kuśalaḥ'', "You simply endeavor for your real auspicity," ''yateta kuśalaḥ''.

:''kṣemāya bhavam āśritaḥ''
:''śarīraṁ pauruṣaṁ yāvan''
:''na vipadyeta puṣkalam''
:([[SB 7.6.5|SB 7.6.5]])

:''prāptaḥ. puruṣa-rūpaṁśarīraṁ yāvat puṣkalam asti na vipadyeta akṣamaṁ na bhaven na naśyed iti vā tāvac chīghraṁ kṣemāya yateta''
:(''Bhāvārtha-dīpikā'' 7.6.5)

"So long you do not meet next death please try to develop your Kṛṣṇa consciousness." That will save you. Not by this economic improvement by manufacturing every year fashionable motor car and riding on it. So?

:''tato yateta kuśalaḥ''
:''kṣemāya bhavam āśritaḥ''
:''śarīraṁ pauruṣaṁ yāvan''
:''na vipadyeta puṣkalam''
:([[SB 7.6.5|SB 7.6.5]])

"This I'm. I am the spirit soul, I am in this body. Until the next separation takes place just try for your auspicity, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, don't waste your time." Very important advice. This is called ''Bhāgavata-dharma''. Of course it is very difficult to convince the people that, "Why you are wasting time in this way? Take to this Kṛṣṇa consciousness, that's your real auspicity." It is very difficult for them to accept and it is very difficult to convince them but still we have to do that, because it is a fact. How you can take shelter of falsity? ''Satyaṁ paraṁ dhīmahi'' ([[SB 1.1.1|SB 1.1.1]]). We have placed the ''Bhāgavata-dharma'', ''satyaṁ paraṁ dhīmahi'', we have taken shelter of the Supreme Truth. How you can make compromise? You have to take real side. Who can challenge this statement of Prahlāda Mahārāja as he has said? Is there anybody who can challenge? Can you challenge anybody, what Prahlāda Mahārāja said? Say it. What is your challenging statement? Anyone? You're all from Europe, America, Japan. What is your? Is there any challenge? Now you say Pakistan. (laughter)

Prabhupāda: We have places everywhere (laughs). Yes. Just try to understand, this is ''Bhāgavata-dharma''. We can challenge everyone. ''Puṁso varṣa-śataṁ'', he is analyzing the life, that's how intelligent—Prahlāda Mahārāja. This is Kṛṣṇa conscious child, how nice instruction he is giving to his class-friends, five years old boy. If you can produce such child then it is successful marriage otherwise what is the use of marriage? Produce a child like Prahlāda Mahārāja who can teach from the very beginning of his life ''Bhāgavata-dharma''. That is, my Guru Mahārāja used to say like that. That, "If I can produce a Kṛṣṇa conscious child I am prepared to marry hundred times." He was a ''sannyāsī'' but still he used to say like that, "I am prepared to marry hundred times. Why one wife? I'll have hundreds of wives. Otherwise I will not. Nothing, not interested" Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī used to say like that. So just see this is the ideal Kṛṣṇa conscious child because this child when he was baby in the embryo of his mother he heard from a perfect Kṛṣṇa conscious personality, Nārada Mahārāja—and that should be result.

:''sat-saṅga chāḍi' kainu asate vilāsa''
:''te-kāraṇe lāgilo mor karma-bandha-phāṅsa''
:(''Gaurā Pahu'' 3)

Why these people are suffering? They have given up the association of devotees. ''Sat-saṅga chāḍi'',' ''asate-līlā'', "They are simply engaged in nonsense activities." ''Te-kāraṇe lāgilo mor karma'', "Therefore I am entangled." Birth after birth, death after death, this is going on. Now he says:

:''puṁso varṣa-śataṁ hy āyus''
:''tad-ardhaṁ cājitātmanaḥ''
([[SB 7.6.6|SB 7.6.6]])

He says that hundred years, a person has got one hundred years, maximum. ''Āyus tad-ardhaṁ cājitātmanaḥ'': and out of that hundred years fifty years is, I mean to say surely and certainly to be wasted, fifty years. And fifty years means suppose I have got hundred years age so I sleep. I sleep, general people they sleep twelve hours. Eight hours, nine hours, ten hours, twelve hours, like that. Therefore that twelve hours sleeping means I do not do anything although I have got twenty-four hours at my disposal. Therefore half of my age is wasted, ''cājitātmanaḥ'', because I cannot control sleeping. So half my age is wasted.

:''puṁso varṣa-śataṁ hy āyus''
:''tad-ardhaṁ cājitātmanaḥ''
:''niṣphalaṁ yad asau rātryāṁ''
:''śete 'ndhaṁ prāpitas tamaḥ''
([[SB 7.6.6|SB 7.6.6]])

''Niṣphalaṁ'', "Without any material benefit or spiritual benefit." Sleeping means without any material benefiting . . . (indistinct) . . . you work. Suppose if there is remuneration, you work somewhere for six hours, you get some money. That is not also possible because you are simply wasting time, neither there is spiritual advancement. So Prahlāda Mahārāja: ''niṣphalaṁ yad asau rātryāṁ śete 'ndhaṁ prāpitas'', "He becomes blind and he remains in darkness, in ignorance." Darkness is ignorance. Therefore half of the life is wasted in darkness.

:''mugdhasya bālye kaiśore''
:''krīḍato yāti viṁśatiḥ''
([[SB 7.6.7|SB 7.6.7]])

''Ācchā'' (okay), out of that fifty years at least twenty years is spend in childish proclivities, playing. ''Mugdhasya'', we are very much captivated for playing and wasting time. ''Mugdhasya bālye kaiśore'': childhood, boyhood—up to the age of twenty years—young, beginning of youth. That is also wasted:

:''mugdhasya bālye kaiśore''
:''krīḍato yāti viṁśatiḥ''

''Viṁśatiḥ'' means twenty years is spent like that.

:''jarayā grasta-dehasya''
:''yāty akalpasya viṁśatiḥ''
:([[SB 7.6.7|SB 7.6.7]])

And old men, after retirement, another twenty years for making adjustments how to. Thinking always, "Oh my wife is ill, my son is not yet well posted, my daughter is not yet married and this and so and so on." For twenty years like that. ''Jarayā'', and then, just like old age, coughing or some rheumatic things, some other complaints, there is no digestion, go to the doctor. So ''jarayā'', ''jarayā grasta-dehasya'', because this body, you have got a particular type body, you have to suffer or enjoy according to the body.

:''jarayā grasta-dehasya''
:''yāty akalpasya viṁśatiḥ''
:''durāpūreṇa kāmena''
:''mohena ca balīyasā''
:''śeṣaṁ gṛheṣu saktasya''
:''pramattasyāpayāti hi''
:([[SB 7.6.8|SB 7.6.8]])

And those who are unnecessarily attached to home life, family life. ''Durāpūreṇa kāmena'', ''durāpūreṇa kāmena'': because he is still hoping, although he is getting old coughing, and becoming invalid, still he is hoping that, "My wife is there, so if I am in disease she will take care of me and my children are there, they will take care. How I can go outside? How I can take ''sannyāsa''? I shall have to live alone and who will take care of me? No, no, I shall not go." ''Durāpūreṇa kāmena'', and still he is hoping that, "I shall situate this way and that way." But of course that is everyones duty but not ''durāpūreṇa'', not that one should think of this program which is impossible to be fulfilled.

''Paṣcāśordhvaṁ vanaṁ vrajet'', there is a sastric injunction, "As soon as you're fifty years old left. Leave it aside." You can not make it perfectly situated, your family affairs. If you think like that, "I shall make my family affairs very perfectly situated, then I shall take ''sannyāsa''." "I shall give all my money to the family and I shall take some, I mean to say. Little money with me and I shall go to Vṛndāvana. I shall live there." The adjustment is family, not adjustment how to go to Vṛndāvana.

You will find, in Vṛndāvana, there is many retired persons are living. The major portion, ninety-nine percent of their money has gone to their families and one percent money he has deposited in savings to get him some say twenty or fifty rupees per month and like this. They call, "This is perfect Vṛndāvana living." And they criticize us, one gentlemen who is a Bābājī, he was speaking to me, "Swamiji, why you are so much interested for ''pracāra'', for preaching. You are living in Vṛndāvana, why you have left? Please don't go any more." Last time, he was saying. "Yes. That's all right, but my. What can I do? My Guru Mahārāja has ordered. So you better enjoy Vṛndāvana let me go to hell." So they think like that. That simply by sitting at Vṛndāvana and doing all nonsense. Of course not everyone is doing, but this is the mentality. So:

:''durāpūreṇa kāmena''
:''mohena ca balīyasā''
:''śeṣaṁ gṛheṣu saktasya''
:''pramattasyāpayāti hi''
:([[SB 7.6.8|SB 7.6.8]])

Simply that is also another waste of time, making adjustments.

:''durāpūreṇa duḥkhaiḥ samantād āpūryamāṇena''
:(''Bhāvārtha-dīpikā'' 7.6.8)

:''śeṣaṁ gṛheṣu saktasya''
:''pramattasyāpayāti hi''

That is also another type of:

:''ko gṛheṣu pumān saktam''
:''ātmānam ajitendriyaḥ''
:''sneha-pāśair dṛḍhair baddham''
:''utsaheta vimocitum''
:([[SB 7.6.9|SB 7.6.9]])

Prahlāda Mahārāja is challenge, "Where there is a single person who is so much attached to family life," ''ko gṛheṣu pumān saktam ātmānam ajitendriyaḥ''. They are, to be attached to family affairs means he could not control his senses. One too much attachment for family life means one who cannot control his senses. My Guru Mahārāja used to say: "This marriage is a type of concession, it is a license." Just like where there is prohibition, there is no wine. No wine, just like in India there are many such cities you can not purchase wine. What is this called? It is called prohibition?

Devotee: Yes.

Prabhupāda: But there are persons also who cannot live without drinking so for them a special license is issued. He has to take certificate from a bona fide medical practitioner that, "This man, without drinking, he will die." Therefore a limited quantity of liquor should be supplied to him." So when he gets that certificate the government gives him a license that, "You can purchase." So this:

:''loke vyavāyāmiṣa-madya-sevā''
:''nityā hi jantor na hi tatra codanā''
:([[SB 11.5.11|SB 11.5.11]])

That every living being has got a natural tendency for sex life, ''vyavāya'', ''āmiṣa'', meat-eating, ''āmiṣa-madya-sevā'', intoxication, ''nityā'', that is the, I mean to say condition of material life—sex life, meat-eating and intoxication. ''Na hi tatra codanā'', nobody is required to be taught in the school, colleges, how to use sex life, they automatically know. This science is not taught in the schools and colleges, ''na hi tatra codanā'', there is no need. But why these arrangements, the marriage, why the ''śāstra'' says that you should be married? That is a license, that's all. Not that it is required, but it is a license one who is unable to control his senses, that's all.

So here Prahlāda Mahārāja is challenging, ko—"Who is that?" ''Gṛheṣu pumān saktam ātmānam ajitendriyaḥ''. "One who is unable to control his senses and therefore attached to family life." ''Gṛheṣu ātmāṣu'', ''sneha-pāśair dṛḍhair baddham utsaheta vimocitum''. So such persons, not only is he sensually attached but also ''sneha''—affection for children, for wife, for family, for house, for dress, for furniture. How he can become free from these attachments? It is very difficult.

''Ko gṛheṣu pumān saktam ātmānam ajitendriyaḥ sneha-pāśair''. ''Sneha-pāśair''—it is just like one is bound up with rope or shackles. This ''sneha'', the so-called affection is also like that. ''Sneha-pāśair dṛḍhair baddham'', ''dṛḍhair'': of course that is natural, this ''sneha''—to have affection for wife, children, home, etc. That is natural, even Arjuna was standing before Kṛṣṇa, he was also bound up in that way. But that bound up is different, that is natural sequence. But one who is ''dhīra'', one who is so strongly, he cannot give up. Everyone is bound up by this affection but somebody is too much bound up by such affection therefore—''dṛḍhair''. ''Dṛḍhaiḥ'' means too much. ''Sneha-pāśair dṛḍhair baddham''—such persons who was too much affectionate to his family life, it is very difficult to get them liberation.

:''ko nv artha-tṛṣṇāṁ visṛjet''
:''prāṇebhyo 'pi ya īpsitaḥ''
:''yaṁ krīṇāty asubhiḥ preṣṭhais''
:''taskaraḥ sevako vaṇik''
:([[SB 7.6.10|SB 7.6.10]])

Now ''gṛheṣu yat''

:''yam artham asubhiḥ krīṇāti prāṇa-hānim''
:''aṅgī-kṛtyāpi sādhayati taskarādiḥ''
:''tasminn arthe tṛṣṇāṁ ko nu visṛjet''
:(''Bhāvārtha-dīpikā'' 7.6.10)

Prahlāda Mahārāja said that, "Money is acquired with great difficulties." Everybody is struggling whole day and night for earning some money, honestly and dishonestly. Not only dishonestly, sometimes there are thieves and rogues and burglars, they earn money by killing. So money is so sweet that one is prepared to kill others and get money. So how much attraction for money. So who can give up this attraction? It is impossible, it is very difficult. ''Ko nv artha-tṛṣṇāṁ visṛjet'': "Desire for acquiring money, who can give up?" ''Artha-tṛṣṇāṁ visṛjet prāṇebhyo 'pi ya īpsitaḥ'' It is so dear that one loves money more than his own self—''prāṇebhyo''. One can sacrifice his life.

Sometimes a burglar—dacoits, they go to plunder a householders life. And they say: "Where you have kept money? Give me. Give me your keys." "No. I cannot give or I do not know where is the key." Then sometimes they are killed a still they will not deliver the keys. (laughs) They'll be shot down, a still they'll not deliver the. Therefore the money is dearer than life. Otherwise why he is prepared to give up his life. If his life is so important then he would be: "Alright Sir, you can take my key and everything. Don't kill me. (laughter)

Prabhupāda: (laughs) But he will say: "All right you can kill me but I shall not deliver." So these are practical.

:''ko nv artha-tṛṣṇāṁ visṛjet''

"They desire to keep it, even more than life." Everyone tries to save his life but this attach to material happiness, material wealth. They love material wealth and material opulence more than life, more than life—''prāṇebhyo 'pi ya īpsitaḥ''.

:''yaṁ krīṇāty asubhiḥ preṣṭhais''
:''taskaraḥ sevako vaṇik''
:([[SB 7.6.10|SB 7.6.10]])

There is—Just see how Prahlāda Mahārāja has selected that the money. For money how unfaithfully and dishonestly they live. Who? First of all ''taskaraḥ''. ''Taskaraḥ'' means—burglars, thief, how dishonestly they live, how awfully, sinful life they live, simply for money, ''taskaraḥ'' and then ''sevakaḥ''—servants. The servants gives you service, not that he is very much attached to you, he gives service for money—''sevakaḥ'' and ''vaṇika'', and mercantile people. They will give you service, "Service is our." What is that? There is some slogan.

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Ha?

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: No. They will write on the signboard that, what is that? "Service our motto." What for service? Because as soon as the customer will come he will exploit, that sort of service. Real, real aim is how to get more money from the customer. The paid servant also, his real motive is how to get more money from the master and similarly the thieves and burglars they are also on the same how to get more money, even by killing. So just see how Prahlāda Mahārāja was lecturing.

:''ko krīṇāty asubhiḥ preṣṭhais''
:''taskaraḥ sevako vaṇik''

''Taskaraḥ'' means burglar and the so called servant and ''vaṇik'' they have been classified almost in the same category. ''Ko nu visṛjet'' (''Bhāvārtha-dīpikā'' 7.6.10).

:''kathaṁ priyāyā anukampitāyāḥ''
:''saṅgaṁ rahasyaṁ rucirāṁś ca mantrān''
:''suhṛtsu tat-sneha-sitaḥśiśūnāṁ''
:''kalākṣarāṇām anurakta-cittaḥ''
:([[SB 7.6.11-13|SB 7.6.11]])

When we are entangled in family life these are the different types of attraction. What is that? ''Kathaṁ priyāyā anukampitāyāḥ saṅgaṁ rahasyaṁ rucirāṁś ca mantrān''. Whispering with the wife, wife is giving some advice that, "Do like that, do like that."

Devotees: (laughter)

Prabhupāda: Analytical study. Analytical study, the five years old boy. Just see. ''Kathaṁ priyāyā anukampi'' . . . ''priyāyā'', ''priyāyā'' means, "very dear", ''anukampā'' means "very sympathetic". Who can be better friend than wife? So ''priyāyāanukampitāyāḥ saṅgaṁ rahasyaṁ'' always associating and chatting jokingly. ''Rahasyaṁ'', ''kathaṁ priyāyā'': you don't be sorry, sometimes I also remember. Yes. Yes. (laughs) It is so attractive. You see? This is ''māyā''. This is called ''māyā''. Yes. These are identically stating.

:''kathaṁ priyāyā anukampitāyāḥ''
:''saṅgaṁ rahasyaṁ rucirāṁś ca mantrān''
:([[SB 7.6.11-13|SB 7.6.11]])

And this is answer, the advice, instruction, given by wife, is very palatable ''ca mantrān''. Then ''kalākṣarāṇām anurakta'', ''suhṛtsu tat-sneha-sitaḥśiśūnāṁ''. Then also friendship, in family life there are so many friends. ''Suhṛtsu tat-sneha-sitaḥśiśūnāṁ''—and the smiling of children of affection and love. ''Tat-sneha-sitaḥśiśūnāṁ kalākṣarāṇām anurakta-cittaḥ''—sometimes they cry, they draw tears, in this way the consciousness becomes absorbed with the entanglement. The consciousness, instead of becoming Kṛṣṇa conscious, our consciousness is entangled with all these things. These are very important ''ślokas''.

:''kathaṁ priyāyā anukampitāyāḥ''
:''saṅgaṁ rahasyaṁ rucirāṁś ca mantrān''
:''suhṛtsu tat-sneha-sitaḥśiśūnāṁ''
:''kalākṣarāṇām anurakta-cittaḥ''
:''Mantrān hita-śikṣālāpān''
:(''Bhāvārtha-dīpikā'' 7.6.11)

''Mantrān'' means—not even instruction.

:''suhṛtsu ca saṅgam''
:''teṣāṁ snehena sito baddhaḥ''
:''kalāni madhurāṇy akṣarāṇi''
:''yeṣāṁ teṣāṁ ca saṅgam ''
:''teṣv anuraktaṁ cittaṁ yasya''
:(''Bhāvārtha-dīpikā'' 7.6.11)

So in this way if one is too much entangled how one can. We should always remember Prahlāda Mahārāja said that, ''kaumāra ācaret prājṣo dharmān bhāgavatān'' ([[SB 7.6.1|SB 7.6.1]]).

The beginning was that, "My dear demon friends from the childhood you should learn Kṛṣṇa consciousness and be." If I am advanced, if I am young man, if I am married, if I am again fallen into this family life then it may not be possible actually. That is a fact. The family attraction, nobody is interested in Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, they are simply interested with these things—the association of wife, family, children, motorcar, house, bed, furniture. They are so much attracted with these things that the main business of their life, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, they are not interested.

Huh? Thank you very much. (break)

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Oh that's a good plan. (laughter)

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Yes. That means if he becomes ''guru'' immediately, he becomes spiritual master. If anyone advises like that, that "Why you are so much attached to the skin and the bones? Why you are not attached to Kṛṣṇa?" Oh such wise is the spiritual master. Bilvamaṅgala was also chastised by a prostitute. Bilvamaṅgala Ṭhākura . . . (indistinct) . . . and immediately, "Oh, Yes." Immediately he left and went to Vṛndāvana, Bilvamaṅgala Ṭhākura. But that does not happen to everyone, this is reference to the context. Because Bilvamaṅgala Ṭhākura, in his previous life, he was raised up to the ''bhāva-bhakti'' but somehow or other he fallen down. So therefore there is no loss of the Kṛṣṇa conscious person even he falls down.

:''tyaktvā sva-dharmaṁ caraṇāmbujaṁ harer''
:''bhajann apakvo 'tha patet tato yadi''
:([[SB 1.5.17|SB 1.5.17]])

"Even in his immature state without being perfectly maturity, if he falls down there is no loss because whatever he has done, that remains his asset." Just like Bilvamaṅgala Ṭhākura . . . (indistinct) . . . they had cultivated this Kṛṣṇa consciousness in his previous. That was actual. It was disturbed by someway, circumstantially but as soon as there was a word from the wife or prostitute immediately. Immediately it came to the conscious, "Oh, yes. What I am doing? Because I." That is rare instances. It is possible for Tulsī dāsa and Bilvamaṅgala Ṭhākura, they had previous success. So therefore we should take it that let us increase our effect of Kṛṣṇa consciousness as far as possible. Even we fall down in this life there is no loss in this sense, and in the next life I shall begin again, Kṛṣṇa will give me chance. But that does not meant we shall be lethargic. We should be very enthusiastic to finish Kṛṣṇa conscious business in this life. ''Śucīnāṁśrīmatāṁ gehe'' ([[BG 6.41 (1972)||BG 6.41]]).

There are many authoritative versions of Vedic. That a devotee, even he falls down, he does not lose his assets what he has already acquired, that remains, that is never lost. ''Kṛta-puṇya-puṣjāḥ, kṛta-puṇya-puṣjāḥ'' ([[SB 10.12.7-11|SB 10.12.11]]).

Just like one saves his money in the bank: little, little, little, little, little, little. Similarly if you cannot have the whole amount in this life, little, little also, that will never be lost and one day and it is full, then it is . . . (indistinct)

Other things you acquire and if you can not fulfill the whole thing whatever you have done is lost, materially. Suppose you start a business and it requires one million dollars capital and you have got one fourth million, so you start it, and if you could not supply further money that quarter million dollars is also lost. If you cannot fulfill the whole program whatever you have done that is also lost. But in spiritual assets it is not like that. Suppose you require to go up to the hundred points even if you have finished twenty-five or twenty or fifty, that is not lost, that is in your assets. Again you have to begin from fifty-one percent. That is the instance of Tulsī Dāsa. They are already advanced, not that simply by the words of a wife they turned so quickly. There are many wives, they also joke like that, but not, they do not turn. But these, he had his assets. It is when they are fixed on the point he turns immediately. So fructify.

You know the story of the Tulsī Dāsa? That he is referring. He had too much affection she was a very beautiful wife and the Indian system is the wife sometimes goes to father's house. Sometimes, in the younger ages. So his father-in-law several times came to take his daughter but he refused, "No, no. She can not go. She can not go." So another time when her father came Tulsī Dāsa's mother rebuked him that, "This gentleman is coming to take her, why you are not allowing?" So Tulsī Dāsa could not say anything, the wife was allowed to go.

So suppose in the morning she was allowed, when in the evening Tulsī Dāsa approach father-in-law's house, in the evening. And that surprised the wife. She became too much disturbed, that "You are so much attached. I was coming this morning and you are again in the evening? So why you are so much attached to this skin and bone? Why not to Rāmacandra?" "Oh, that's alright. Yes, yes. You have seen it." So Bilvamaṅgala Ṭhākura also.

What is that bird? ''kokila'' . . . (indistinct) . . . you know that ''kokila'' cuckoo, very black but their voice is so attractive.

Ah. All right. (end)

Prabhupāda:

:''veda-śāstra kahe—'sambandha', 'abhidheya', 'prayojana' ''
:'' 'kṛṣṇa'—''prāpya sambandha'', 'bhakti'—''prāptyera sadhana''
:([[CC Madhya 20.124|CC Madhya 20.124]])

The Vedic literatures give information about the living entity’s eternal relationship with Kṛṣṇa, which is called ''sambandha''. The living entity’s understanding of this relationship and his acting accordingly is called ''abhidheya''. Returning home, back to Godhead, is the ultimate goal of life and is called prayojana.

. . . somebody must be there to open the door.

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

:''abhidheya-nāma 'bhakti', 'prema'—prayojana''
:''puruṣārtha-śiromaṇi prema mahā-dhana''
:([[CC Madhya 20.125|CC Madhya 20.125]])

So Vedic, ''Vedas'', ''Veda'' means knowledge. ''Vetti veda-vido jñānam''. ''Veda'' means knowledge by which one understands.

(aside) . . . (indistinct)

Oh! Can't you stop it?

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: It will be very much disturbing. Somebody must remain there. To open and close it, nicely.

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: So ''Veda'' means knowledge. Don't accept that ''Vedas'' is a sectarian religious scripture. No. ''Vedas'' means knowledge. That is the real import of the word ''Veda''. ''Vetti veda vida jñāne''. There are two forms of verb: ''vetti'', ''veda'', and the original verbal root is ''vid'', ''vid-dhātu''. ''Vetti veda vida jñāne''. ''Vinte vid vicāraṇe''. The same ''vid-dhātu'', verbal root, takes different forms. That is described here: ''vinte vid vicāraṇe''. When one scrutinizingly analyze something, tries to understand, in that way the verb is ''vinte vid vicāraṇe''. ''Vidyate vid satāyām'', and when there is meaning of existence, the same root takes the form of ''vidyate'', ''vidyate vid satāyām. lābhe vindati'', ''vindate''. Again the same ''vid-dhātuḥ'' can be used for profit: ''vindate'', he's enjoying.

So original meaning is ''vid-dhātu veda'' or ''vid-dhātu'' the ''Veda'' comes. ''Veda'' means knowledge and what is that supreme knowledge? Knowledge, there are different departmental knowledge but what is the ultimate knowledge? The ultimate knowledge is to understand God. ''Yasmin vijñāte sarvam evaṁ vijñātaṁ bhavati'' (''Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad'' 1.3).

If you understand God then you understand everything. He is the origin automatically. So if you understand God then you become liberated also. That is stated in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' ([[BG 4.9 (1972)|4.9]]): ''janma karma me divyaṁ yo jānāti tattvataḥ''.

"Anyone who understands Me, how I appear, how I disappear, what are My functions, simply by understanding this." ''Janma karma me divyaṁ yo jānāti tattvataḥ''. Everyone who understands it. So there is no question of sectarian view. Anyone who can understand what is God. It doesn't matter whether he is Hindu, whether he is Muslim, whether he is a Christian, anyone. Religion means to understand God. That is religion. And to understand the laws of God, that is religion. So anyone who understands God and the laws of God he's religionist, he's Vedāntist, that's all. ''Vetti veda vido jñāne vinte''—''vid vicāraṇe''.

So Kṛṣṇa . . . Caitanya-Mahāprabhu says that ''veda-śāstra kahe''—'''sambandha'.'' The whole purport of Vedic knowledge is to understand what is our relationship with God—what is God. There are three things in the matter of understanding God. First of all you should know what is God and what I am, what is my relationship with God. Then just like in business you make agreement, both party agrees, that this is our relationship you are supplier I am consumer. You supply under such and such condition I'll consume. That is called relationship. And as soon as the agreement established, our relationship is understood, then actual business follows. Then actual business. When you understand God, when you understand yourself, then the actual business will start. Without this knowledge, whatever transaction, whatever activities we are engaged in, that is called ''māyā'' because it will not give you your desired result. It is simply wasting time. That is the verdict of the ''Vedas''. ''Svanuṣṭhitasya dharmasya saṁsiddhir hari-toṣaṇam'' ([[SB 1.2.13|SB 1.2.13]]).

:''dharma-svanuṣṭitaḥ puṁsāṁ''
:''viśvaksena kathāsu yaḥ''
:''notpādayed ratiṁ yadi''
:''śrama eva hi kevalam''
:([[SB 1.2.8|SB 1.2.8]])

:''sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo''
:''yato bhaktir adhokṣaje''
:''ahaituky apratihatā''
:''yayātmā samprasīdati''
:([[SB 1.2.6|SB 1.2.6]])

These are the statements of the Vedic literature—that you go, go on working, everyone is working according to his capacities. That's all right, go on, there is no question of stopping your work but you must see whether you are gainer or looser by working that way. That—gainer or looser. If you don't make account that whether I am gaining or loosing then what is the. Such kinds of activities are done by monkeys also. They are very active but it is useless activities. ''Śrama eva hi kevalam''. The Vedic ''śastra'' says that if you do not calculate whether you are loosing or gaining. If you simply blindly go on working, then such kind of activities is simply waste of time and energy. So we must know how to work. And that is stated in the ''Vedas''. There are two kinds of instruction in the ''Vedas'', ''pravṛtti-mārga'' and ''nivṛtti-mārga''. ''Pravṛtti-mārga'' means sense enjoyment and ''nivṛtti-mārga'' means, I mean to, wind, winding up the business of sense enjoyment. Two kinds of knowledge. ''Pravṛttir eṣā bhūtānāṁ nivṛttis tu mahā-phalām'' (''Manu-saṁhitā'').

''Pravṛtti''—you have got natural tendency for so many things. The real basic principle of enjoyment is sense enjoyment. The ''Vedas'' give instructions that you enjoy your senses but under these laws. Just like. Just like government gives you license. You want to do some business so government gives you some license and in the license the regulative principles are, "You can do this business in this way, in this way, in this way." So this direction is given by the ''Vedas''. What is, what is that direction? In this material world everyone, both man and animal, every living entity, is seeking after sense enjoyment. So ''Vedas'' gives instruction to the human society that you enjoy your senses in this way. That is Vedic knowledge. But the ultimate aim is to get you gradually to the conscious of Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa says that in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' ([[BG 15.15 (1972)|15.15]]).

''Vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyam''. "The purpose of Vedic instruction is to understand Me—or understand God." So Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu says the same thing that: ''kṛṣṇa sambandha''. Our target, goal of life, should be how to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

In order to channelize all these activities the ''varṇāśrama-dharma'' has been observed, we Hindus. We observe these four ''varṇas'', not actually observed now but we are supposed to observe the four. The institution to follow the regulative principles of four ''varṇas'': ''Brāhmin'', ''Kṣatriya'', ''Vaiśya'', ''Śūdra''. This is a system so that gradually you can rise yourself to the highest platform of understanding God, Kṛṣṇa. This is a system. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' ([[BG 4.13 (1972)|4.13]]): ''cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭaṁ''.

So you can not abolish this system because it is God-made. It may be existing under different names in different human societies or demigod society or demon society. There are different kinds of societies all over the universe. It may be named in a different way but the four divisions are there because it is God-made, ''cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭaṁ guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśaḥ''. The ''Brāhmin'', ''Kṣatriya'', ''Vaiśya'', ''Śūdra''. The ''Brāhmin'' means the intelligent class of men. Anywhere, any intelligent class of men: scholars, teachers, professors, they are to be understood as ''Brāhmin''. Not that ''Brāhmins'' are available in India only. In anywhere, any first-class intelligent man who understands what is what, he is a ''Brāhmin''. Similarly a ''Kṣatriya'' means the administrative class, the next class, next intelligent class. Because through adm . . . because there is no intelligent class of men at the present moment therefore government is so much disturbed.

So formally the government was advised by the first-class intelligent man, the ''Brāhmins''. That is the history and they used to conduct government in accordance to the advice of the learned ''Brāhmins'', sages, like that. So next intelligent class is ''kṣatriya'', next intelligent class is ''Vaiśyas''—the mercantile class. Because simply intelligent class of men will not do or simply administrator class will not do. There must be production—agriculture.

Formally there was only agriculture production. Nowadays there are industries also. And others, there is four classes of men, neither ''Brāhmin'' nor ''kṣatriya''. They're neither intelligent nor, I mean to say administrator nor very productive. They simply want to work and get some money, that's all. Satisfy. They are called ''Śūdras''. So these four divisions are there everywhere, all over the world, ''cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā''. Now what is the purpose of the division? That is stated in the ''Viṣṇu-Purāṇa'':

:''Varṇāśramācāravatā''
:''puruṣena paraḥ pumān''
:''visṇur ārādhyate panthā''
:''nānyat tat-toṣa-kāraṇa''
:([[CC Madhya 8.58|CC Madhya 8.58]], ''Viṣṇu Purāṇa'' 3.8.9)

If we follow the principles of this ''varṇa'' and ''āśrama'' then we actually satisfy the Supreme Lord Viṣṇu. ''Varṇāśramācāravatā puruṣena paraḥ pumān visṇur ārādhyate''. So therefore the ultimate goal is to understand Viṣṇu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead or Kṛṣṇa. This ''viṣṇu-tattva'', ''viṣṇu-tattva'', Kṛṣṇa is the highest principle of ''viṣṇu-tattva''. The great sages and saintly persons they have analyzed Kṛṣṇa is cent percent Bhagavān and Viṣṇu, Nārāyaṇa is ninety-eight or ninety-six percent. Ninety-six percent, ninety-six percent.

Similarly Lord Śiva he is eighty-four percent, Lord Brahmā, he is fifty percent. Eh? No, seventy-eight percent. So there are calculations. Everyone is god, there is no doubt. Everyone ''īśvara'', but there is percentage. Just like we have got, everyone is intelligent, everyone is rich, everyone has got some money, some bank balance, but there is degrees. However you may have got millions of dollars, I may have thousands of dollars, as there is differentiation of degree. Similarly even you accept everyone is god, but there is differentiation of the degree of god, degree of. And the ''śastra'' says that:

:''īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ''
:''sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ''
:''anādir ādir govindaḥ''
:''sarva-kāraṇa-kāraṇam''
:(Bs 5.1)

So go on analyzing ''īśvara'' or god, you'll find somebody is lower, somebody is higher. But if you go on analyzing in this way you come to the point of Kṛṣṇa. You'll will find nobody is equal to Him, nobody is greater than Him, everybody is lower than Him—''asamordhva''. That is also Vedic injunction:

:''na tasya kāryaṁ karaṇaṁ ca vidyate''
:''na tat-samaś cābhyadhikaś ca dṛśyate''
:''parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate''
:''svā-bhāvikī jñāna-bala-kriyā(ca)
:(''Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad'' 6.8)

God means, the Supreme Lord means, ''na tat-samaś cābhyadhikaś ca dṛśyate''. Nobody is found equal to Him or greater than Him. ''Na tasya kāryaṁ karaṇaṁ ca vidyate''. And He has nothing to do. ''Parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate''. He has got multi-energies: ''Svā-bhāvikī jñāna-bala-kriyā ca''. And He has by nature perfect knowledge, ''svā-bhāvikī jñāna-bala''—and strength. ''Svā-bhāvikī jñāna-bala'' and ''kriyā'' . . . (indistinct) . . . so, "Let there be creation." As soon as He desires there is immediately creation. ''Sa īkṣata'', ''sa asṛjata'' (''Aitareya Upaniṣad'' 1.1.1-2). These are the Vedic versions.

So Kṛṣṇa Caitanya says that ''kṛṣṇa sambandha''. We should understand, we should know what is God, how He is acting, how He is acting with his multi-energies and then we should know our position. The our position is, as Caitanya Mahāprabhu has already explained, that we are subordinate. That is the Vedic injunction also:

:''nityo nityānāṁ cetanaś cetanānām''
:''eko bahūnāṁ yo vidadhāti kāmān''
:(''Kaṭha Upaniṣad'' 2.2.13)

So He is the supreme eternal. We are all eternals but He is the supreme eternal. Just like we are all Indians but the president of Indian Union, he is the supreme Indian. Similarly he has got the same qualities as we have got, but his quantity of power is greater than you. Similarly qualitatively Kṛṣṇa, God or we are the same but quantitatively His power, His intelligence, His strength is far, far greater than ours. That is our ''sambandha'. We are not equal to Him, neither greater than Him. He is the greatest, God is great. Nobody is greater than Him, that's ''sambandha''. That is our relationship. So as subordinates, our duty is to please Him. Just like we see in offices in government, everywhere. The subordinate officers are meant for pleasing the higher officers. There is no difficulty to understand what is our relationship with God. Artificially if I say: "I am equal to God." That is craziness.

How I can be equal to God? I am controlled. I am controlled. Just like if I say that: "I am the government." That is craziness, madness. I am not government. I may be Indian but I am controlled by the government. Similarly we are all eternals: ''nityo nityānām ceta'' . . . we are all living entities, Kṛṣṇa is also an individual living entity and we are individual living entities. He is not impersonal, He is also person, as we are persons but His power, His strength, His beauty, His opulence, everything supreme. Therefore He is called Supreme Personality of Godhead. So this is . . . this knowledge is to understand our relationship with God. Caitanya Mahāprabhu says here, ''kṛṣṇa sambandha''. But we are related with. Kṛṣṇa says in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' ([[BG 15.7 (1972)|BG 15.7]]): ''mamaivāṁśo jīva-bhūtaḥ''. "All these living entities, they are My part and parcels."

:''sarva-yoniṣu kaunteya''
:''mūrtayaḥ sambhavanti yāḥ''
:''tāsāṁ mahad yonir brahma
:''ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā''
([[BG 14.4 (1972)|BG 14.4]])

"I am the father, I am the original father of every living entity, not only human society." But there are 8,400,000 of species of forms. All of them are sons of God. Originally the supreme father is Kṛṣṇa. So this ''sambandha'', this relationship we should understand, then we talk of universal brotherhood. If you do not know who is our father how is it possible to establish a relationship with brother? That brothership, brotherhood, is not restricted to the human society, that brotherhood is expanded even beyond the human society, that is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Not that I think only my countrymen, only my nationals, they are my brothers. We have to think even the ant, insignificant ant.

They are preaching of communism, but in the ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'' a different communism is prescribed. Communism is very good theory, socialism, but not that simply myself and my brothers—There is community. No. You should expand to all living entities. Just like Nārada Muni is advising Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja about the householders duty. He is saying that even there is a lizard in your room, you should take care that he has eaten something, he is not starving. Even there is a snake in your house you should consider for him also. You must see that he is not starving. This is communism. Not that only I take care of the human society or my countrymen or society men and others may be killed, others may be sent to slaughterhouse. That is not communism. Communism is to think that every living entity. Therefore ''Bhagavad-gītā'' says: ''paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ''. Those who are actually learned, they are ''sama-darśi''—equal. How equal? Not in the human society.

:''vidyā-vinaya sampanne''
:''brāhmaṇe gavi hastini''
:''śuni caiva śvapāke ca''
:''paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ''
:([[BG 5.18 (1972)|BG 5.18]])

One who is advanced in spiritual knowledge, ''paṇḍita'', he is called ''paṇḍita'', he has got equal vision. How? ''Vidyā-vinaya sampanne''. In the society a learned ''Brāhmin'': ''vidyā-vinaya sampanne'' and ''Brāhmin'' is also ''vinaya''—very gentle. ''Vidyā-vinaya sampanne''
''brāhmaṇe gavi''—a cow, ''hastini''—means elephant. ''Śuni'', ''śuni'' means dog and ''śvapāke''—the dog-eater, ''cāṇḍāla''. So beginning from the highest personality, a learned ''Brāhmin'', down to the ''cāṇḍāla'', the lowest of the society, they're seen on equal level by a ''paṇḍita''. Why? Because ''paṇḍita'', a ''paṇḍita'' knows that these differentiation is of the body. A dog has got a different type of body and a learned ''Brāhmin'' has got a different type of body but both of them are the same souls, spirit souls. By his ''karma'' he has to accept a certain type of body but as spirit soul he is pure. ''Asaṅgo hy ayaṁ puruṣaḥ'' (''Bṛhad-āraṇyaka Upaniṣad'' 4.3.15), the ''Vedas'' says. Therefore he sees everyone and he tries to, I mean to say, render service to everyone and that service can be rendered by Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Unless one is Kṛṣṇa conscious he cannot see everyone on the equal footing. It is not possible. Artificially universal brotherhood can not be established unless there is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is ''sambandha-jñāna''. And for abhidheya means acting according to ''sambandha-jñāna''. That I have already explained. That first of all he must act, establish our relationship.

So the relationship is that God is great, we are subordinate. He is maintaining everyone, His property is for everyone, His property is everyone. These are actually socialism. Not that one man should starve or one man should enjoy. No, no. Every son has got the right to enjoy the property of the father. If God is father, Kṛṣṇa is father then every living entity has the right. So God's arrangement is there. You produce, there is sufficient production. Even taking the calculation of the modern, the America has got immense production, there is, there is no question of starvation any part of the world.

But the difficulty is that America is thinking, "It is my property. It is my production. Why shall I give to the hunger stricken, ah, the poverty-stricken people of the world? Better throw it in the water." To keep the price. So due to our mismanagement the sufferings of the world, there. It is not God's creation. God's creation is—there is sufficient food for everyone. God's creation—there is no want. My Guru Mahārāja used to say that there is no scarcity of anything within the world, the only scarcity is Kṛṣṇa conscious, only scarcity is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Therefore this movement, spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness, is the highest welfare activity to the human society.

:''veda-śāstre kahe sambandha, abhidheya, prayojana''
:''kṛṣṇa, kṛṣṇa-bhakti, prema,—tina mahā-dhana''
:([[CC Madhya 20.143|CC Madhya 20.143]])

So the ultimate goal of studying ''Veda'' means to understand Kṛṣṇa and ''kṛṣṇa-bhakti''—to act in devotional service and the ultimate goal of achievement is love of God, Kṛṣṇa. Three things. That is the instruction of Lord Caitanya. Those who have read ''Teachings of Lord Caitanya'', they will find.

:''kṛṣṇa, kṛṣṇa-bhakti, prema,—tina mahā-dhana''
:([[CC Madhya 20.143|CC Madhya 20.143]])

:''vedādi sakala śāstre kṛṣṇa—mukhya sambandha''
:''tāṅra jñāne ānuṣaṅge yāya māyā-bandha''
:([[CC Madhya 20.144|CC Madhya 20.144]])

So there are various types of Vedic literature and Kṛṣṇa also says: ''vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyam'' ([[BG 15.15 (1972)|BG 15.15]]).

And other ''śastra'' also says that:

:''vyāmohāya carācarasya jagatas te te purāṇāgamās''
:''tāṁ tām eva hi devatāṁ paramikāṁ jalpantu kalpāvadhi''
:''siddhānte punar eka eva bhagavān viṣṇuḥ samastāgama-''
:''vyāpāreṣu vivecana-vyatikaraṁ nīteṣu niścīyate''
:([[CC Madhya 20.145|CC Madhya 20.145]]) (''Padma Purāṇa'')

The purport of this verse is in the Vedic literature there are many, I mean to say, demigods also. And because there are many demigods therefore people in other countries, in Western countries, they are under impression that the Hindus have got many gods. But actually that is not the fact. God is one, the demigods, they are also living entities. They are not God. God is one. So this ''purāṇādi śastras'', in some of the ''Purāṇas'', there are eighteen ''Purāṇas''. Some of them are ''sattvika-purāṇas'', some of them are ''rājasika-purāṇas'', some are ''tamasika-purāṇas''.

So in the ''tamasika-purāṇa'' it is said that this demigod is final, this demigod is final, but that is ''bhrama hāra''. The ''śastra'' says that is a bewilderment. He is being taught to worship a certain type of demigod just to make him understand that there is a superior power. But actually he is being taught to go, to make progress to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, not that he should stop there. So there are descriptions, that if you worship this god then you will get this benefit, if you worship this god then you will get this benefit. These things are there in the Vedic scriptures, that is a fact. And actually you get the benefit but in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' when Śrī Kṛṣṇa Himself describes He says that these demigods or worship of demigods are for those who are too much lusty for material enjoyment. ''Kāmais tais tair hṛta-jñānāḥ prapadyante 'nya-devatāḥ'' ([[BG 7.20 (1972)|BG 7.20]]).

But they do not know that such benefits derived from the worship of demigods are temporary arrangement. ''Antavat tu phalaṁ teṣāṁ tad bhavaty alpa-medhasām'' ([[BG 7.20 (1972)|BG 7.20]]). In this way, gradually he's elevated to the highest position: ''bahūnāṁ janmanām ante'' ([[BG 7.19 (1972)|BG 7.19]]).

After many, many births. But in this age, in Kali-yuga, that slow progressive march will not help people. Therefore Lord Caitanya, out of His causeless mercy has recommended that:

:''harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam''
:''kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva nāsty eva gatir anyathā''
:([[CC Adi 17.21|CC Ādi 17.21]])

In this age, in Kali-yuga, the only ''yajña''—sacrifice, is recommended ''saṅkīrtana-yajña'' and only process of religious activity or transcendental engagement is chanting of the holy names of Kṛṣṇa. This is the verdict of the ''śastras''. Because they are not living for long, long years. Fifty, sixty, seventy then finish. They're not living for hundreds of years, hundred years. Actually the limit of human being living, hundred years. In this age the duration of life is gradually diminishing and it will diminish to the point of twenty years to thirty years. That is also stated: "If a man lives for twenty to thirty years he will be considered grand old man." That day also will come.

At the present moment also average Indian life is thirty-five years. So the duration of life is being reduced. Similarly intelligence is being reduced. Man's propensity for doing good to others, that is also diminishing. Strength also diminishing. The stature also diminishing. So this age is not very favorable. Therefore in this age we cannot act according to the Vedic injunctions captioned here, perform sacrifices or gradually make progress. This is recommended: ''kīrtanād eva kṛṣṇasya'' ([[SB 12.3.51|SB 12.3.51]]).

Simply by chanting this Hare Kṛṣṇa ''mantra''. ''Mukta-saṅgaḥ paraṁ vrajet''. He will be liberated and he will be elevated to the highest position. ''Mukta-saṅgaḥ paraṁ''—he will be transferred to the spiritual world.

So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is authorized and it is very simple. People are taking it. Not only in one country, in various countries they are taking and this movement is originally generated from India. Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself, He introduced this movement five thousand years ago. Now we have started this movement throughout the whole world so it is the duty of the Indian people to join and expand this movement. ''Bhārata-bhūmite manuṣya-janma haila yāra'' ([[CC Adi 9.41|CC Ādi 9.41]])—it is the duty of every Indian.

That is the statement of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. ''Bhārata-bhūmite manuṣya-janma haila yāra''—anyone who has taken birth as a human being in the land of Bhārata-varṣa. Śrī Bhārata-varṣa—the India, India is the land of religion, land of piety. That's a fact. A still even in this down-trodden condition. We have been in Kumbha-melā. Millions of men, daily coming, without any advertisement, to take a dip in the Ganges and Yamunā. By nature they are. Don't try to cut down, try to utilize it and spread it all over the world. That is His . . . (indistinct) . . . that is the order of Lord Caitanya.

:''bhārata-bhūmite manuṣya-janma haila yāra''
:''janma sārthaka kari' kara para-upakāra''
:([[CC Adi 9.41|CC Ādi 9.41]])

First of all you try to assimilate what is this culture then you try to distribute it all over the world. People will be benefited.

Thank you very much. Hare Kṛṣṇa. (end)

Prabhupāda: ''Buddher''—intelligence. By exercise, by proper use of intelligence one who can understand the different status or different positions. Just like awakening and dreaming or sleeping and almost unconscious. In all these stages the person who is living, that is soul, or that is God. Not the soul is God, but God and soul is of the same quality. God is managing the gigantic body, the universal body and a soul is managing a small body. The function and the qualities are the same. The Māyāvāda philosophy, the Māyāvādī philosophers they, they understand. Any intelligent man can understand, but they persist on this point, that God and the individual living being, there is no difference. In ''māyā'' he is thinking that he is different but when he is liberated he becomes one.

Actually the position of the Māyāvādī philosopher is they want ''sāyujya-mukti''. ''Sāyujya-mukti'', to merge into the existence of the Supreme. ''Sāyujya-mukti'' is there, according to ''śāstra''. ''Sāyujya'', ''sārūpya'', ''sālokya'', ''sāmīpya'', ''sārṣṭi''. But Vaiṣṇavas they do not prefer such liberation, to merge into the existence. Merging into the existence of the Supreme means merging into the impersonal Brahma effulgence as a, as a particle of spirit. He remains a particle, it is not homogeneous, he remains. Just like the sunshine, they are all combination of molecular particles of shining elements, but you can not distinguish. Just like any matter is combination of small atoms. They are different in constitution.

Similarly Brahma effulgence means combination of innumerable living entities appearing to be homogeneous, impersonal. But that ''sāyujya-mukti'' is not very safe. Safe means not at all safe. ''Āruhya kṛcchreṇa paraṁ padaṁ tataḥ patanty adho'' ([[SB 10.2.32|SB 10.2.32]])

That is the version we get from ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam''. That these persons, after severe penance and austerities, they rise up to the impersonal ''paraṁ padaṁ''. ''Paraṁ padaṁ'' means the ultimate goal. Ultimate goal: Brahma, Paramātmā and Bhagavān. So that is also ''paraṁ padaṁ'', to merge into the Brahma, impersonal Brahma, that is also ''paraṁ padaṁ''. To realize Paramātmā, that is also ''paraṁ padaṁ'' and to realize the Supreme Person, that is also ''paraṁ padaṁ'' but each one of these status is more clear than the other. If one approaches the Supreme Personality of Godhead automatically he realizes all other ''paraṁ padaṁ''.

So the Māyāvādī philosophers, being unaware of the, or they may be aware. Aware, they are aware but they don't like. They were aware that Personality of Godhead, there is, but they don't want to serve. The same mentality, material mentality. Just like in this material world nobody wants to be subservient of another person. Even sometimes accepting the spiritual master, he does not want to be subservient, he wants to pose himself. That is the nature. Nature means. This, this, this can not be remedied? Always gaus! gaus! There is no remedy for this? What is that?

Devotee: We can put a door stop on the bottom.

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Devotee: A door stop we can put on the bottom of the door . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: It is going on always.

Devotee 2: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Where is this going on? In our . . . close or down?

Devotee: No, in our rooms . . . (indistinct) . . . devotees they don't . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: That devotees are all, all irresponsible, they have no brains. What is the difficulty if the, the door is closed? And then they will not do it. What can be done? Twenty-four hours it is going on. (pause)

So description of ''ātmā'' is already given, what is that? ''Ātmā nityo 'vyayaḥśuddha ekaḥ kṣetra-jña'' ([[SB 7.7.19-20|SB 7.7.19]]).

There is twelve, characteristics of ''ātmā''. ''Śuddha'' , as Kṛṣṇa is always ''śuddha'', ''pavitram''.

''Pavitram'' means ''śuddha''—pure. Similarly ''ātmā'' is also pure. That pure consciousness, when ''ātmā'' is pure, consciousness is always there, pure or impure, because living force, there is consciousness. So originally every ''ātmā'' or soul is pure and therefore his consciousness is also pure and that pure consciousness is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That pure consciousness is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. So one has to illuminate that pure consciousness, ''buddhi'', by exercising intelligence.

(aside) Subala Mahārāja.

Subala: Yes.

Prabhupāda: You did not sleep much?

Subala: Oh I'm not sleeping.

Prabhupāda: Meditating? Don't meditate. Meditation also not closing the eyes completely. Meditation means half. Closing, Meditation means sleeping. If you don't like to sleep, sleep will come by closing the eyes. Therefore it is recommended that those who are meditators they should close eyes half, not full. I have seen many meditators in that Dr. Miṣra's ''āśrama'', snoring. (laughter)

Prabhupāda: Regularly snoring.

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: So you have to use our intelligence. Kṛṣṇa consciousness, to analyze things nicely and come to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. It is not very easy job but it is possible by the grace of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. He has given us such a nice thing:

Because this prescription is delivered by Kṛṣṇa Himself, Lord Caitanya. Which we follow the process then it is possible to liberate the ''ātmā'' from this material entanglement. That is being advocated by Prahlāda Mahārāja.

So one should understand that ''ātmā'' is pure. The different positions. When ''ātmā'' is pure the consciousness is also pure. So that pure consciousness is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Now that Kṛṣṇa consciousness has become . . . (indistinct) . . . or polluted, contaminated. How? ''Tri-varṇaiḥ''. ''Varṇa'' means color, ''varṇa'' means color. The caste system is called also ''varṇa''. ''Cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭaṁ'' ([[BG 4.13 (1972)|BG 4.13]]).

The caste system: ''Brāhmin'', ''Kṣatriya'', ''Vaiśya'', ''Śūdra'', they are also called ''varṇa''. ''Varṇa'' means color. Actually the soul by being contaminated with this material world under the influence of three material modes. Some of them are ''śukla-varṇa'', ''śukla-varṇa''—white. This ''varṇa''; ''Brāhmins'' are called ''śukla''—white and ''Kṣatriyas'' are called ''rakta'', ''rakta-varṇa''. ''Rakta-varṇa'' means the ''Kṣatriyas'' and the ''Vaiśyas'' are called ''pīta-varṇa'', yellow and the ''Śūdras'' are called ''kṛṣṇa-varṇa'' or black. As we are seeing within this material world there are divisions of ''varṇas'', colors: white, reddish and yellowish and blackish. ''Trivarna'', especially there are three colors, means three qualities. Three qualities: ''sattva guṇa'', ''rajo guṇa'', ''tamo guṇa''.

''Ebhis tri-varṇaiḥ paryastair'', when the soul becomes overcome by these three modes of material nature at that time ''buddhi-bhedaiḥ kriyodbhavaiḥ'', ''buddhi-bhedaiḥ''. Immediately his consciousness also becomes polluted. Therefore you find people are engaged in different activities, not in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. On account of being polluted by the three modes of material nature the consciousness is also polluted. So this our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement means purifying, purifying material state. Purifying the colorful ingredients, color. So even one is in black color, even one is in yellow color or even one is any color. The white color, it does not mean that the white European color. ''Śukla'' means clean. So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is a purifying process.

''Paryastair buddhi-bhedaiḥ kriyodbhavaiḥ svarūpam ātmano budhyed''. ''Ātmā'' is pure, in the original state, Kṛṣṇa conscious. But on account of being contaminated by different colors or different material qualities, their intelligence are also different. Their mode of activities are also different. Therefore they contradict. A ''Śūdra'' do not agree with the ''Brāhmin'', ''Brāhmin'' do not agree with the ''Kṣatriya'', ''Kṣatriya'' do not agree. Like that, ''buddhi-bhedaiḥand kriyā-vat'', ''kriyodbhavaiḥ''. And they create their activities also according to their different colors. Therefore we find so many activities, so many liking. So many tastes. All these are due to this colors.

And ''saṁsāra'', material existence is due to this contamination, this colorful process. ''Etad dvāro hi saṁsāraḥ''. So if you give up these colorful activities, ''bandha'' activities. Kṛṣṇa activities, then naturally you become liberated. Because our bondage, conditional life, is due to our contamination which this colorful existence of material world. Just try to understand. So instead of trying to become purified by, there are so many processes. ''Brahmacarya'', ''veda-dhyāna'', so many processes recommended, but in this age, Kali-yuga, none of the processes are practical. None of the processes are practical. So Caitanya Mahāprabhu—''patita-pāvana'', because He is the liberator of the fallen souls of this age, He has given us very nice easy process: ''kṛṣṇas'', ''ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanaṁ'', ''paraṁ vijayate śrī-kṛṣṇa-saṅkīrtanam''.

Simply by ''saṅkīrtana'' method, chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa ''mantra'', avoiding the offenses, little endeavor. He's made all people liberated. Little endeavor. That we are practically experiencing. All of our students, they have never gone to the jungle or undergone severe austerities and penances. As you know the great sages they are, even Dhruva Mahārāja, they had to undergo severe penances and austerities before realizing, before coming to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. But it is a special favor for the fallen souls of this age: ''kṛṣṇa'', ''kīrtanād eva kṛṣṇasya mukta-saṅgaḥ'' ([[SB 12.3.51|SB 12.3.51]]).

He becomes immediately freed from the colorful existence of material qualities.

:''etad dvāro hi saṁsāro''
:''guṇa-karma-nibandhanaḥ''
:''ajñāna-mūlo 'pārtho 'pi''
:''puṁsaḥ svapna ivārpyate''
:([[SB 7.7.27|SB 7.7.27]])

So it is just like dream. All our material existence is a dream. There is no act. Therefore they are temporary. Just like dream is temporary, say for few minutes, or a few hours. Not few hours. Not no dream is for few hours. Because he change while he's in dreaming condition. We change also dreaming features. They also a part dreaming. Similarly the whole material existence is dreaming. ''Yoga-nidrā''. The whole material existence is also generated from the ''yoga-nidrā'' of Mahā-viṣṇu. ''Yoga-nidrā''. So we have to consider it that the creation, this material creation is only a dream of the Supreme Lord. Therefore it is not eternal, it is temporary.

''Nanu tarhi'' (''Bhāvārtha-dīpikā'', ''7.7.27''). Here it has been, nice example has been given: ''budhyed gandhair vāyum ivānvayāt'' ([[SB 7.7.26|SB 7.7.26]]) Our contamination of the material world, how it is just like the air passing in different conditions. The air passing through a filthy place, the air becomes filthy smelling. He immediately, "Uhk, some filthy smell is coming. Wherefrom it is coming?" It is due to the air passing through a filthy place it is bearing that filthy smell.

Similarly the air passing through a rose garden, it will carry the flavor of the rose. So if you carry your mind, intelligence and ego through the activities of Kṛṣṇa then your consciousness will be Kṛṣṇa conscious. Your consciousness will change. What is the difficulty to understand how—what is Kṛṣṇa consciousness? Is there any difficulty? If you always remain engaged in Kṛṣṇa's activities, ''śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ smaraṇaṁ pāda-sevanam'' ([[SB 7.5.23-24|SB 7.5.23]]).

Hearing, chanting, remembering and worshiping, ''pāda-sevanam arcanaṁ vandanaṁ dāsyaṁ'', offering prayers. When you feel meditative—better chant Hare Kṛṣṇa—loudly. That will save you.

So ''śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ smaraṇaṁ pāda-sevanam arcanaṁ vandanaṁ dāsyaṁ'', these nine kinds of devotional activities. According to time and circumstances you'll engage in one of them and you'll be made Kṛṣṇa conscious. You try to avoid yourself passing on filthy place. Material activities means filthy place, then you will carry a bad smell. But if you carry through, I mean to say, good smell, good flavor of the rose, Kṛṣṇa is good, all-good. God is all-good. So if you remain always in association with the all-good then your Kṛṣṇa consciousness is secure, you are also all-good.

''Ajñāna'', actually this our condition is ''ajñāna-mūḍha''. ''Ajñāna-mūḍha'' means we are trying to imitate Kṛṣṇa to become enjoyer. That is material life. Everyone is trying to become enjoyer. How first-class enjoyer I may be? How I can become the Prime Minister? How I can become Birla? How I can become God? Ultimately failing to become Birla and minister he speaks things to bluff some foolish persons and declare that, "I am god." Eh? That is very cheap. So people. Actual. That is the ''mūla'', that is the root cause of our suffering in the material world. That I want to imitate Kṛṣṇa and enjoy. And to try to become god means the greatest enjoyer. God is the enjoyer of goddess of fortune, Lakṣmī.

So this Māyāvāda philosophy, Māyāvādī philosophers they address themselves, self-complement. "Sir you are Nārāyaṇa, I am Nārāyaṇa." That's all. Very easy, you see? They therefore address amongst themselves, "Nārāyaṇa", Oh he is very much pleased, "I have become Nārāyaṇa." And Vivekananda brings such Nārāyaṇa—''daridra-nārāyaṇa''. So in this way it is going on. Nārāyaṇa is the enjoyer, so we are trying to imitate. That is material disease, "I want to become Nārāyaṇa." Just like Rāvaṇa. Sītā is Lakṣmī, goddess of fortune, he wanted to become Nārāyaṇa. So that kind of nārāyaṇa becoming business is not very good. Then one has to be killed with all other nārāyaṇas. (laughter)

Prabhupāda: You see? Don't try to do that. You see? That is ''ajñāna''. ''Ajñāna''. Our beginning of material life is ''ajñāna''. Therefore ''jñāna'' means surrendering to Kṛṣṇa. That is stated in ''Bhagavad-gītā'' ([[BG 7.19 (1972)|7.19]]): ''bahūnāṁ janmanām ante jñānavān''.

So long one does not surrender to Kṛṣṇa he is in ''ajñāna'', try to understand. He may be advertised as very erudite scholar, very nice lecturing, but if the ultimate goal is that, "I am Nārāyaṇa"—that is also ''ajñāna''. ''Ajñāna''.

:''ajñāna-mūlo 'pārtho 'pi''
:''puṁsaḥ svapna ivārpyate''
([[SB 7.7.27|SB 7.7.27]])

This is the ''ajñāna''. All these material activities are dreams only. That's all. These ''karmīs'' who are working so hard, that is also dreaming. Exactly the same way. It is gross dreaming, and at night that is subtle dreaming. Everything has two features: gross and subtle. The subtle dreaming is at night and gross dreaming is at daytime. The ''karmīs'' are engrossed in it.

(aside) Don't sit in that way.

So gross dreaming and subtle dreaming.

:''yathā kusumopādhiko ’pi vāyor gandho viveka-jñānena nivartate evam ātmanaḥ saṁsāro na nivartata ity āśaṅkyāha,''
:''etad dvāro buddhi-dvārakas tad avasthā-dvārako vā saṁsāro na svataḥ hi yasmād buddher ye guṇāḥ karāṇi ca tair nibadhyata iti''
:''tathā sa cājñāna-mūlo ’to ’pārtho ’pi mithyā-bhūto ’pi svapnavartnātha''
:(''Bhāvārtha-dīpikā'', 7.7.27)

So this ''ajñāna-mūla'', all our activities except Kṛṣṇa consciousness, because they are on the basis of ''ajñāna'', ignorance, therefore they are compared as dreaming. That dream has no value similarly anything done in ''ajñāna'', sleeping is also ''ajñāna''. Sleeping is ''ajñāna'', that is understood by everyone. When you are sleeping if somebody is coming to kill you. You do not know because you are in ''ajñāna''. And when you are awake if somebody is coming to kill you. You can take precautionary steps because that is not ''ajñāna''. But here in this material world either you are asleep or you are awakened, because the basic principles of life is ''ajñāna''—ignorance. It is both of them are sleeping.

Therefore ''Caitanya-caritāmṛta'' says, ''dvaite bhadrābhadra sakali samāna'' ([[CC Antya 4.176|CC Antya 4.176]]).

Our creation in this material world, "This is good, this is bad," they're all the same because it is material, temporary. So temporary good, what is the use of such goodness? But people are very much anxious, even temporary, they want to enjoy senses. Sense enjoyment is enjoyment but that is temporary. Real enjoyment is not temporary. ''Satyānande ramante yogino 'nante'' ([[CC Madhya 9.29|CC Madhya 9.29]]). That is not temporary. That is ''brahmānanda''. That ''brahmānanda'', spiritual bliss, can be obtained when you are purified, when you are in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. But because you are ignorant we accept this temporary so-called happiness as happiness. ''Dvaite bhadrābhadra 'ei bhāla'', ''ei manda''', ''saba manodharma''. Mental concoction. ''Yasmād'' . . .

:''kiṁ tat yogaḥ kathaṁ-bhūtaḥ dhiyaḥ pravāhaṁ''
:''jāgradādi-rūpam uparamayatīti''
:(''Bhāvārtha-dīpikā'', 7.7.28)

:''tasmād bhavadbhiḥ kartavyaṁ''
:''karmaṇāṁ tri-guṇātmanām''
:''bīja-nirharaṇaṁ yogaḥ''
:''pravāhoparamo dhiyaḥ''
:([[SB 7.7.28|SB 7.7.28]])

Thus Prahlāda Mahārāja is concluding: "My dear demon friends," therefore: ''tasmād bhavadbhiḥ kartavyaṁ''—it is your duty. It is your duty. ''Kartavyaṁ karmaṇāṁ tri-guṇātmanām bīja-nirharaṇaṁ''. So our activities, there is some cause of activities. Whatever we do, there is a cause. So that cause is called a seed. What is that English word? Scientific word? Putting?

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Devotee: (indistinct) . . . activate.

Prabhupāda: No, no. Any activity, any action there is a scientific. That the action is put. What is called?

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: The original pushing.

Devotee: Impulse.

Prabhupāda: Eh? Impulse is all . . . there is a technical scientific. Just like a ball is rolling. Somebody has kicked. Somebody has kicked. Physical law.

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Impetus? No there is a technical word. You try to find. So that kicking of the football is the beginning of the ball's rolling.

Devotee: Inertia?

Prabhupāda: What? Anyway never mind. So here it is said that: ''tasmād bhavadbhiḥ kartavyaṁ'', ''karmaṇāṁ tri-guṇātmanām'', ''bīja-nirharaṇaṁ yogaḥ''. You practice such ''yoga'' by which the original impetus of this force by which you are now entangled in this material activities, so you accept that ''yoga''. And Prahlāda Mahārāja recommending that you accept the ''bhakti-yoga''. No, no other ''yoga''.

In Europe, America this ''yoga'' method has become very popular and therefore these so-called ''yogīs'', they go and exploit your country. Here also Prahlāda Mahārāja recommending ''yoga'' but what is that ''yoga''? ''Bīja-nirharaṇaṁ''. ''Bīja'', the original impetus can be vanquished, that sort of ''yoga'', ''bīja-nirharaṇaṁ''. Just like you take a seed, you put it into water and it will sprout some, what is called?

Devotees: (indistinct) . . . leaves?

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Devotee: Leaves?

Prabhupāda: You put some grain, just like chick-pea in the water and gradually it will sprout comes, twig? What is that called?

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Shoot. Yes. But the same, same seed, chick-pea, you fry it and put it in the water, it will not come out. That is ''bīja-nirharaṇaṁ''. Now are finishing the sprouting potency. Sprouting potency. ''Bīja-nirharaṇaṁyogaḥ pravāhoparamo dhiyaḥ''. If you accept, if you engage yourself in that sort of ''yoga'' so that there will be no more impetus for material activities then you will be saved from this material entanglement and that is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

This ''yoga'' system will no more create ''karma bandhana''. The sprouting, it will grow to another plant and from the plant there will be many chick-peas, green. And from that many chick-peas there will be many sprouting and many plants. It will go on, go on, go on, go on. But if you fry the chick-peas then there will be no more sprouting process. So that is also explained in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'': ''yajñārthāt karma 'nyatra karma-bandhanaḥ'' ([[BG 3.9 (1972)|BG 3.9]]).

Simply for Kṛṣṇa you work. Otherwise your ''karma'' will produce another ''karma'' and that ''karma'' will produce another ''karma'', another ''karma'', another ''karma''. So:

:''bīja-nirharaṇaṁ yogaḥ''
:''pravāhoparamo dhiyaḥ''
([[SB 7.7.28|SB 7.7.28]])

:''tatropāya-sahasrāṇām''
:''ayaṁ bhagavatoditaḥ''
:''yad īśvare bhagavati''
:''yathā yair añjasā ratiḥ''
([[SB 7.7.29|SB 7.7.29]])

So that ''uparamaḥ'', that completely ceasing the impetus, there may be many other processes but Prahlāda Mahārāja says ''ayaṁ bhagavatoditaḥ''. The process recommended by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, what is that process? The Supreme Personality He is giving you a process. "Just surrender unto Me." ''Sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁśaraṇaṁ vraja'' ([[BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]]). This is the perfect process.

:''Bhagavatoditaḥ yad īśvare bhagavati''
:''yathā yair añjasā ratiḥ. ''
:''bhagavatoktaḥ tathā ca gītā-''
:''sūktam "yat karoṣi yad aśnāsi"''
(''Bhāvārtha-dīpikā'', 7.7.29)

Śrīdhara Svāmī, giving the same formula, that you have to act something. You can not remain silent for a moment. It is said, "I, I will see," that is making surrender. No. You'll not see, you'll dream. So you can not make yourself, I mean to say, without activities for a moment either mind, body may be stopped acting but the mind will go on acting. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says that ''yat karoṣi'' ([[BG 9.27 (1972)|BG 9.27]]), just, "Whatever you do—do it for Me."

This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We therefore say that whatever talents you have got, just engage in Kṛṣṇa's service. You are a painter, alright.

This article has come out in our ''Back to Godhead''. That I encourage the printers, always go on printing, go on printing. Now they are becoming successful and the pictures are being appreciate, although never in their lives they have painted such pictures.

So ''yat karoṣi'', you have got these talents, alright, you do it for Kṛṣṇa. You can typewrite, all right. You do it for Kṛṣṇa. You are carpenter—all right do it for Kṛṣṇa. ''Yat karoṣi yad aśnāsi''. Because you have to work and you have to eat. So you offer whatever you are eating. Don't be afraid, Kṛṣṇa will take it away. It will remain. They're afraid, "Oh if I offer to Kṛṣṇa He may, may eat it. Then why? I shall starve."

Devotees: (laughter)

Prabhupāda: The rascal does not know that Kṛṣṇa is not hungry, I am hungry, He is not hungry. He is so perfect: ''pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate'' (''Īśopaniṣad Invocation'').

He will take everything because you offer with faith and devotion, He will take, but again it will remain as ''prasāda''.

So ''yat karosi'', you ask . . . the people will not understand this. Kṛṣṇa says . . . He gives such a formula how to become free. ''Yat karosi yad aśnāsi''. All of them can do it, what we are doing. They can do also. Now we are also riding motor car, we are also going in planes. We are coming from this country that country but they are also doing that but not for Kṛṣṇa. We are doing for Kṛṣṇa that is the difference. We are also preparing advertisements, they are also preparing advertisements. So what is the difference? The difference is, it is for Kṛṣṇa; and they are not for Kṛṣṇa. That's all, that is the difference.

So in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' ([[BG 9.27 (1972)|BG 9.27]]): ''yat karoṣi yad aśnāsi yaj juhoṣi'', ''dadāsi yat''. ''Juhoṣi'', ''juhoṣi'' means offering sacrifice, performing sacrifice. Tons of ghee in sacrifices for being elevated in the heavenly planets, they perform ''yajñas''. So that ''yajña'' also you can do for Kṛṣṇa. "But I have no money. Where to purchase ghee?" All right therefore for Kali-yuja: ''yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyaiḥ'' ([[SB 11.5.32|SB 11.5.32]]).

You simply chant Hare Kṛṣṇa ''mantra'', that is the ''yajña'' recommended in this age. You haven't got to purchase ghee. ''Yaj juhoṣi'', ''dadāsi yat'', everyone wants to give in charity. That is in every religion, charity is recommended.

You know in Jain religion they're, make charity very cheap. You know in Bombay you'll find many Jains, they give some grains. In your country also, bird feeding, what is it called? Cheap charity. Say ten shillings, grains, you throw in the street, so many birds will come. That is also charity. That is also charity. So Vivekananda's ''daridra-nārāyaṇa-sevā'' can be done in various ways. If you pass stool there will be many worms. That is also charity. Your stool will be eaten up by many worms. So why you should exert energy for that purpose? Kṛṣṇa says: "Give Me", that is real charity, ''parasmin vā tad-arpaṇam'' ([[SB 3.29.10|SB 3.29.10]]).

Otherwise all these charitable institutions is as good as the Jains that take cheap methods. They take one paise worth flour, sweet flour, and one paise worth of sugar and mix together and put it in the holes of the ants. So thousands and millions of ants, they are giving charity in one paise. That is also charity. But this kind of charity will not help you. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says ''parasmin vā tad-arpaṇam'': "If you have anything to give in charity give it to Me. When you are eating, you give it to Me. When you are working, work for Me." That will benefit you. Not otherwise. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Stop it here.

Devotee: ''Hari bol''. (break)

Prabhupāda: Seventh Chapter.

Devotee: (indistinct) . . . liberation.

Prabhupāda: Therefore you have to surrender to the spiritual master. He will guide you. We have got so many bad habits, that's alright, but under the guidance of a bona-fide spiritual master you will be trained up.

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Devotee: (indistinct) . . . spiritual master.

Prabhupāda: Surrender is willing. If you don't like to surrender who can make you obliged to surrender? Surrender is voluntary. "Yes I surrender." Determination, "Yes I surrender." Who can make you obliged to surrender? Nobody can make. Even Kṛṣṇa can not work. This is a false pretence, "Please be merciful up`on me so that I may surrender." But if you do not surrender, who, what my mercy do? Be merciful so that I can, I can serve you.

You know that incident? A man has fallen in the well, he is crying, "Please get me up, get me up." Another man drops a rope, "Please catch it." I'll take it. Oh. Then if he says: "Be merciful so that I can catch." Is that a very good arrangement? Eh? "When you'll be merciful I'll be able to catch." Is that argument? You catch. Then he'll help you to get it out. And if you don't catch, how he will help you? What is the use of speaking, "Be merciful, be merciful"? He is already merciful, giving you the rope. Why don't you take it?

So these are all false pleadings. If you want to surrender you can surrender yourself. If you don't want to surrender then there will, so many. "Please, Sir be merciful so that I can surrender unto you." Surrender is in your hands. If you like you can. If you don't like, don't surrender. There is no question of being merciful. Mercy is already there.

:''ei rūpe brahmāṇḍa bhramite kona bhāgyavān jīva''
:''guru-kṛṣṇa kṛpā pāya bhakti-latā-bīja''
([[CC Madhya 19.151|CC Madhya 19.151]])

''Kṛpā'', the mercy is already there. Kṛṣṇa is coming, Kṛṣṇa is sending His representative. Kṛṣṇa is giving you advice in the ''Bhagavad-gītā''. If you don't take advantage of it then who, who can deliver you? Kṛṣṇa is personally coming. Kṛṣṇa is sending you His representative, Kṛṣṇa has left ''Bhagavad-gītā'', then what else you want? But if you are determined not to surrender how Kṛṣṇa, and ''śāstra'' and ''guru'' can help you? Nobody can help you. Then you are hopeless. That is up to you, to surrender or not to surrender. And because they do not surrender they are suffering. Willful negligence. Is that? There is an English word like this, willful negligence. If you become willful negli, neglect, full, negligent then who can help you? Nobody can help you. Nobody can help you. Neither Kṛṣṇa nor ''śāstra'' nor ''guru''.

(indistinct) . . . instead of willful negligence, there must be willful cooperation, then it will be successful. These are all pleas, so that will not do. The ''sahajiyās'' they will show, "Oh, Sir you are so, and be merciful and," But when he say something you do not do it, "That I cannot accept Sir." So (laughs) how it will help? Eh? "I am very much obedient to you but I shall not care any one of your words. I am so obedient." So how is that Kṛṣṇa or ''guru'' or ''śāstra'' can help him? Nobody can help. You must be willing cooperator. Then it will be possible otherwise not possible. Then one is doomed. Hm. Take it.

(break) . . . the steel. But when he was manufacturing he did not deliver. He thought that, "I have saved the steel. I have saved this steel. I did not deliver to the blacksmith so my steel is saved." So my steel is saved, my new feature is this. His chopper will not be sharpened eh? So similarly if we become neglectful, disobedient, then that steel selling process. Your chopper will be blunt it will not cut. Do you follow what I say?

Devotee: Yes, follow.

Prabhupāda: That steel means it is called: ''a steel saving logic''. "Oh I've saved this steel, I've saved so much time." You see, instead of serving Kṛṣṇa and spiritual master I've saved so much time by sleeping twelve hours. It is not service! It is spoiling! You must know that. One should mold his life in such a way that twenty-four hours he must be engaged in Kṛṣṇa's service. Even in dreaming he should serve Kṛṣṇa. That is Kṛṣṇa Conscious. So if we follow the policy of steel saving from the blacksmith then we are cheating, the blacksmith is not cheated, he is doing his business, that's all. (end)

Prabhupāda:

:''. . . sarveṣu bhūteṣu''
:''dayāṁ kuruta sauhṛdam''
:''bhāvam āsuram unmucya''
:''yayā tuṣyaty adhokṣajaḥ''
:([[SB 7.6.24|SB 7.6.24]])

(Therefore, my dear young friends born of demons, please act in such a way that the Supreme Lord, who is beyond the conception of material knowledge, will be satisfied. Give up your demoniac nature and act without enmity or duality. Show mercy to all living entities by enlightening them in devotional service, thus becoming their well-wishers.)

(indistinct) . . . you can read that ''śloka''. Stay there. Your going to . . . (indistinct)

Devotee 1: . . . (indistinct)

Devotee 2: . . . (indistinct)

(pause)

Prabhupāda: So this popular word ''vividhā'' . Generally the people say ''vividhā''. Here is the example of ''viva'' ''vividhā'' means to be merciful upon the fallen souls. So here is the example given by Prahlāda Mahārāja that, ''bhāvam āsuram unmucya''. People ought to be educated, trained scientifically how they can give up the ''āsuraṁ bhāvam''. ''Āsuraṁ bhāvam'' means demonic attitude. Demonic attitude, means atheists, not to surrender unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is demonic, as it is stated in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'':

:''na māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ''
:''prapadyante narādhamāḥ''
:''māyayāpahṛta-jñānā''
:''āsuraṁ bhāvam āśritāḥ''
:([[BG 7.15 (1972)|BG 7.15]])

So ''vividhā'' means he must be full of all the living entities means to drive their attitude, demonic attitude somehow or other. That is the first-class service to humanity.

:''kevalānubhavānanda-''
:''svarūpaḥ parameśvaraḥ''
:''māyayāntarhitaiśvarya''
:''īyate guṇa-sargayā''
:([[SB 7.6.20-23|SB 7.6.23]])

So one who understands Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead as transcendental to this material creation and although he can not see Him within this material world but you can perceive His presence and derive transcendental pleasure out of that by ''anubhava'', by feeling how Kṛṣṇa is present everywhere. That instead of the asuric, the atheists and the demons they are simply challenging, "There is no God. God is dead. Everyone is God. God is impersonal. God is void." So we have to educate them about Kṛṣṇa consciousness and they will derive the transcendental pleasure when they feel the presence of the Lord everywhere. This is the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Following the footsteps of Prahlāda Mahārāja—''sarveṣu bhūteṣu dayāṁ kuruta sauhṛdam''. So you become friend of all living entities and be merciful on them and awaken their Kṛṣṇa consciousness which is dormant within him and let them be helped by drive away driving away the demonic activities. This is the sum and substance of Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, drive away their demonic habits. Then Prahlāda Mahārāja:

:''tuṣṭe ca tatra kim alabhyam ananta ādye''
:''kiṁ tair guṇa-vyatikarād iha ye sva-siddhāḥ''
:''dharmādayaḥ kim aguṇena ca kāṅkṣitena''
:''sāraṁ juṣāṁ caraṇayor upagāyatāṁ naḥ''
:([[SB 7.6.25|SB 7.6.25]])

Prahlāda Mahārāja says: "Now our position is so perfect," that if you can please the unlimited Supreme Personality of Godhead. ''Kiṁ tair guṇa-vyatikarād iha ye sva-siddhāḥ''. ''Guṇa-vyatikarād''—you desire within this material world many things which are nothing but is created by the interaction of the three modes of material nature. ''Sva-siddhāḥ'', ''sva-siddhāḥ'' means—you do not require to endeavor for them, they will come automatically. If Kṛṣṇa is satisfied then your necessities, eating, sleeping, mating, you haven't got to make any separate endeavor. Just like the ''karmīs'', they are simply trying to adjust, how they can very favorably enjoy this eating, sleeping, mating business but you can practically see that due to Kṛṣṇa consciousness we have no such problems. They are automatically, we will be supplied by the Supreme Personality of Godhead—''sva-siddhāḥ''. ''Sva-siddhāḥ'' means automatically there is.

There are, not only in India, outside India also, there are hundreds and thousands of temples and mosques and churches and none of them are starving unless they are devoid of God consciousness. ''Tuṣṭe ca tatra kim alabhyam'', there is no question. The ''yogīs'', they try to achieve the ''siddhis''—perfection to get something but Prahlāda Mahārāja says that, "If you can please Kṛṣṇa then there will be nothing unavailable, everything will be available." We should remember this.

:''tuṣṭe ca tatra kim alabhyam ananta ādye''
:''kiṁ tair guṇa-vyatikarād iha ye sva-siddhāḥ''
:''dharmādayaḥ kim aguṇena ca kāṅkṣitena''
:([[SB 7.6.25|SB 7.6.25]])

And there is no need of acquiring religious perfection. One who is worshipping Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa in the temple, he has already attained all religious perfections. There is no question whether he is Hindu, he is Musilman he's, everyone is trying to be religiously perfect. But he's, anyone who is engaged in Kṛṣṇa's service, the religious perfection is already there. ''Manuṣya-jīvana pāiyā'', ''rādhā-kṛṣṇa nā bhajiyā'', ''jāniyāśuniyā biṣa khāinu'' (''Hari Hari Bifale''). ''Dharmādayaḥ kim aguṇena'', as ''aguṇa''—means ''nirguṇa'' or becoming ''brahma-bhūta,'' that is philosophy—or liberation. So there is no need of hankering after liberation because one who is engaged in the service of the Lord, actually doing service, he is already liberated.

:''sa guṇān samatītyaitān''
:''brahma-bhūyāya kalpate''
:([[BG 14.26 (1972)|BG 14.26]])

Kṛṣṇa also says in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'', same thing, that anyone who is engaged in My service by executing prescribed devotional service between war. ''Māṁ ca yo 'vyabhicāreṇa'': this word ''avyabhicāreṇa'' means—without any fault. There are offenses in ''sevā'' also, ''sevā-aparādha'', these things are described in the ''Nectar of Devotion''. There are sixty-four kinds of ''sevā-aparādha''. Just like we should not come to the Deity room without changing our cloth, without taking bath, there are so many rules and regulations. So those who are engaged, ''avyabhicāreṇa bhakti yogena'', without any faults, those who are engaged in devotional service. ''Sa guṇān samatītyaitān brahma-bhūyāya kalpate'': immediately he becomes liberated and his ''brahma'' realization is already there—''brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā'' ([[BG 18.54 (1972)|BG 18.54]]).

The ''jñānīs'' who have tried to realize their ''brahma'' identity by so much ''tapasya'' but anyone who has somehow or other pleased Kṛṣṇa, his ''brahma'' realization is immediately—He accepts. ''Ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanaṁ bhava-mahā-dāvāgni-nirvāpaṇaṁ'' ([[CC Antya 20.12|CC Antya 20.12]]), this is ''brahma'' realization.

Such an insight, first installment is ''ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanaṁ''—cleansing the heart. The next installment is ''brahma'', ''brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā''.

So Prahlāda Mahārāja he says: ''dharmādayaḥ kim aguṇena ca kāṅkṣitena'', "What is the use of hankering after perfection in religion or merging into the existence of the Lord." There is no gain. ''Muktiḥ mukulitāñjali sevate 'smān'' (''Kṛṣṇa-karṇāmṛta 107'').

''Mukti'', liberation, Bilvamaṅgala says: "Why if I've got real devotional service, unflinching devotional service unto the Lord then ''mukti'' will stand before me with folded hands, 'My dear sir, what can I do for you?' " ''Muktiḥ mukulitāñjali''.

So Prahlāda Mahārāja is saying: ''dharmādayaḥ'' ''dharma'', ''artha'', ''kāma mokṣa''—this is ''yajña''. So there is no need of performing any other religious life, simply the devotional service to Kṛṣṇa. Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa, as in our temple we are doing. Such persons have nothing to do with any other religious rituals. No. ''Dharma''. Neither they have to hanker after merging into the existence of the Lord—''aguṇena''.

''Sāraṁ juṣāṁ caraṇayor upagāyatāṁ naḥ''. Now if we are absorbed in the thoughts of in glorifying, ''saṅkīrtana'' of the Lord then you should know that we have taken the essence of all religious performance. ''Ārādhito yadi haris tapasā tataḥ kim'' (''Nārada Pañcarātra 1.2.6'').

Somehow or other if we can approach Hari, Kṛṣṇa and engage ourselves in His service then there is no other, no necessity of any kind of austerities or penances.

:''sāraṁ juṣāṁ caraṇayor upagāyatāṁ naḥ''
:''dharmārtha-kāma iti yo 'bhihitas tri-varga''
:''īkṣā trayī naya-damau vividhā ca vārtā''
:''manye tad etad akhilaṁ nigamasya satyaṁ''

(break)

:''svātmārpaṇaṁsva-suhṛdaḥ paramasya puṁsaḥ''
:([[SB 7.6.26|SB 7.6.25-26]])

Śrīdhara Svāmī gives this comment on this. He is putting forward for arguments sake that, "Then why there are so many religious rituals?" So many in the Vedas, big, big ''yajñas'', big, big ritualistic ceremonies, they are described here. ''Īkṣā''. ''Īkṣā'' means—''ātma-vidyā''. ''Ātma-vidyā'' means—self realization. For self-realization so many prescribed rules and regulations are there. ''Īkṣā trayī''. ''Trayī'' means ''karma-vidyā'' or ''karma-kāṇḍa'' in the ''Vedas''. Performing ''yajñas'', elevating oneself to the heavenly planets or going to the moon planet. There are so many ''vidyās''—science. So ''īkṣā trayī naya-damau'', ''naya-damau'' means—philosophical argument to understand ''brahma''. ''Naya-damau tarko daṇḍa-nītiś ca''. ''Dvi-vidhā ca'' (''Bhāvārtha-dīpikā 7.6.26''). They are simply professional occupations, actually the aim is by understanding or undergoing all these processes one has to come to surrender to Kṛṣṇa. So anyone who has surrendered to Kṛṣṇa it is meant. It means that he has already surpassed all these processes.

:''īkṣā trayī naya-damau vividhā ca vārtā''
:''manye tad etad akhilaṁ nigamasya satyaṁ''
:([[SB 7.6.26|SB 7.6.26]])

They are actually fact, truth, that Kṛṣṇa is good, but ''svātmārpaṇaṁ sva-suhṛdaḥ paramasya puṁsaḥ''. That is they are not ends in themselves but they are means to come to Kṛṣṇa and surrender. So one who has directly surrendered then: ''ārādhito yadi haris tapasā tataḥ kim''. There is no need of undergoing so many formulas. It is not that a devotee when he is engaged in devotional service, it is not that he has not passed other formulas described in the ''Vedas''. Just like a Vaiṣṇava, as soon as he is a Vaiṣṇava he is immediately a ''brāhmaṇa''. The ''brāhmaṇa'' means the ''brahma-jñāna'', he is already there. ''Anusmṛta'', it is called ''anusmṛta''.

:''manye tad etad akhilaṁ nigamasya satyaṁ''
:''svātmārpaṇaṁ sva-suhṛdaḥ paramasya puṁsaḥ''

These things are meant for surrendering to the Supreme Personality of Godhead who is our real friend. Kṛṣṇa also confirms this in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'':

:''bahūnāṁ janmanām ante''
:''jñānavān māṁ prapadyate''
:([[BG 7.19 (1972)|BG 7.19]])

:''yeṣāṁ tv anta-gataṁ pāpaṁ''
:''janānāṁ puṇya-karmaṇām''
:''te dvandva-moha-nirmuktā''
:''bhajante māṁ dṛḍha-vratāḥ''
:([[BG 7.28 (1972)|BG 7.28]])

These. All these formulas, ritualistic ceremonies are to purify oneself from the contamination of this material world, sinful life, but without doing this nobody can approach to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Absolute Truth. But if one is actually engaged in the service of the Lord it is to be understood that he has already dismissed all sinful activities.

Just like my Guru Mahārāja used to . . . I mean to say, quote one story that one man, two friends, so one was very learned another was not very learned so another third friend was saying: "Oh your friend has become High Court Judge." So he could not believe that. "No. No. I don't believe that, he's not so learned, how he could be High Court Judge?" "No Sir, I have seen him, he's in his bench in the High Court. I've seen him delivering judgements." "All right, maybe. Then he is not getting any salary, he must not be getting any salary." You see? He maybe at the bench of the High Court, but he is not getting any salary. Because he does not, he never agree, that he was not very learned. "How he can be a High Court judge?" But this man is insisting, "Yes I have seen with my own eyes that he is sitting on the bench and delivering judgements." "Maybe then he is not getting salary."

So actually people, they do not know that if one is engaged in devotional service he has already surpassed all these ritualistic ceremonies, ''Vedas'', everything. There is a nice verse in the ''Bhāgavata''. I just now do not remember. It is said like that. Here. He has already done everything. Just like the same example. If one has become actually a judge in the High Court that means he has already passed all the law examinations, you may say that he is not getting salary, that is a different thing, that is your envious nature, but he has passed all the examinations. Similarly if one is actually engaged in devotional service of the Lord it is to be understood that he has performed all the ''tapasyas'', all the austerities, in previous lives. It is to be understood.

:''jñānaṁ tad etad amalaṁ duravāpam āha''
:''nārāyaṇo nara-sakhaḥ kila nāradāya''
:''ekāntināṁ bhagavatas tad akiñcanānāṁ''
:''pādāravinda-rajasāpluta-dehināṁ syāt''
:([[SB 7.6.27|SB 7.6.27]])

So:

:''īkṣāātma-vidyā trayī karma-vidyā''naya-damau tarko daṇḍa-nītiś ca''
:''dvi-vidhā ca vārtā jīvikā''
:''tad etat sarvaṁ nigamasyārtha-jātaṁ sva-suhṛdaḥ svāntaryāmiṇaḥ paramasya''
:''puṁsaḥ svātmārpaṇa-sādhanaṁ cet tarhi sarvaṁ satyaṁ manye ''
:''saty aparatvāt''
:''anyathā tad asatyam eva''
:(''Bhāvārtha-dīpikā'' 7.6.26)

And if after performing all these ritualistic ceremonies if one does not attain to that position, Kṛṣṇa ''bhakti'', then it is to be understood they are all false, simply waste of time. ''Svanuṣṭhitasya dharmasya'', ''saṁsiddhir hari-toṣaṇam'' ([[SB 1.2.13|SB 1.2.13]]).

If one has not learned how to develop, how to love Kṛṣṇa or the Supreme then all his ritualistic ceremonies and austerities and penances are simply useless waste of time. There is no meaning.

:''tarhi sarvaṁ satyaṁ manye. ''
:''saty aparatvāt. ''
:''anyathā tad asatyam eva,''
:(''Bhāvārtha-dīpikā'' 7.6.26)

''Anyathā'': is they are not leading to the devotional service of the Lord they are ''asatyam eva'', they are untruth, they have no meaning.

:''yadvā tad etad akhilaṁ nigamasya trai-guṇya-viṣayasya pratipādyaṁ manye. ''
:''satyaṁ punar nistrai-guṇya-lakṣaṇaṁ paramasya puṁsaḥ svātmārpaṇam evety arthaḥ. ''
:''tad uktaṁ bhagavatā,“trai-guṇya-viṣayā vedā nistrai-guṇyo bhavārjuna”''
:(''Bhāvārtha-dīpikā'' 7.6.26)

He is quoting also from the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' when Kṛṣṇa advised Arjuna that, "You become, be situated on the transcendental position, don't be. I mean to say—puzzled by the performance in the three modes of material nature," ''trai-guṇya-viṣayā vedā'' ([[BG 2.45 (1972)|BG 2.45]]).

:''teṣāṁ punar viśvāsārthaṁ guru-saṁpradāyam āha, jñānam iti.''
:(''Bhāvārtha-dīpikā'' 7.6.27)

Now, Prahlāda Mahārāja is speaking to the demons, demonic friends. So Śrīdhara Mahārāja is giving his comments that, "You are speaking so nice things, this is alright, but what is the authority of your things? Anyone can say." It is very nice question that, "You are saying so many things, you are a five years old boy. How we should check it or accept it as authoritative statements?" This is the challenge. So he is saying:

:''jñānaṁ tad etad amalaṁ duravāpam āha''
:''nārāyaṇo nara-sakhaḥ kila nāradāya''

So:

:''ekāntināṁ bhagavatas tad akiñcanānāṁ''
:''pādāravinda-rajasāpluta-dehināṁ syāt''
:([[SB 7.6.27|SB 7.6.27]])

Therefore:

:''teṣāṁ punar viśvāsārthaṁ guru-saṁpradāyam āha, jñānam iti.''
:''yatra nāradaḥśrotā tatra kuto mādṛśānām adhikāra iti māśaṅkīty āha, bhagavata ekānta-bhaktānāṁ yat pāda-rajas tenāplutānāṁ snātānāṁ''
:''dehināṁ sarveṣām api taj jñānaṁ syān na tūttamānām eveti niyamaḥ.''
:(''Bhāvārtha-dīpikā'' 7.6.27)

So he says that, "Because I received it through the authority of Nārada—therefore it is fact." This should be our position. This is called ''paramparā'', receiving knowledge from ''paramparā'' system, authority. We can not speak anything authoritatively, we have no power. But if we receive that knowledge from the authority by disciplic succession. Then whatever we say, that is authoritative. ''Jñānaṁ tad etad amalaṁ''. Prahlāda says: "This is without any contamination, this is perfect knowledge. ''Duravāpam''—and it is very difficult to obtain also. ''Nārāyaṇo nara-sakhaḥ kila nāradāya''—but it is received from Nārada, therefore it is authority.

:''ekāntināṁ bhagavatas tad akiñcanānāṁ''
:''pādāravinda-rajasāpluta-dehināṁ syāt''
:([[SB 7.6.27|SB 7.6.27]])

''Ekāntināṁ''—those who are fully surrendered unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead. ''Akiñcanā''—and one who has nothing in his possession except Kṛṣṇa. ''Bhagavatas tad akiñcanānāṁ pādāravinda''—and just be simply pure by taking bath in the ocean of the dust of the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, they can understand, others cannot. This ''Bhāgavata-dharma'', only it is possible for them those who are fully surrendered to Kṛṣṇa and they have taken bath in the dust of the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa and have taken shelter of a bona fide devotee coming in disciplic succession. For them this knowledge is understandable, not for others.

:''śrutam etan mayā pūrvaṁ''
:''jñānaṁ vijñāna-saṁyutam''
:''dharmaṁ bhāgavataṁśuddhaṁ''
:''nāradād deva-darśanāt''
:([[SB 7.6.28|SB 7.6.28]])

I have received this knowledge from Nārada—''deva-darśanāt'', who is aspired to be seen by many, many big demigods from whom I have received this knowledge. ''Śrutam etan mayā pūrvaṁ'': because he was five years old when he heard this message from Nārada when he was in the womb of the mother, therefore he said, ''śrutam etan'', ''śrutam'', "I have heard it." ''Śrutam etan mayā pūrvaṁ jñānaṁ vijñāna-saṁyutam''—it is not bogus, it is the most scientific knowledge. ''Dharmaṁ bhāgavataṁśuddhaṁ''—and it is known as ''Bhāgavata-dharma''. ''Śuddhaṁ''—pure, without any material contamination. ''Nāradād deva-darśanāt''.

:''tatrāti-vismitāḥ pṛcchanti, prahrādeti.''
:''he prahrāda, tvaṁ vayam etābhyāṁśaṇḍāmarkābhyām ṛte ’nyaṁ guruṁ na vidmaḥ. ''
:''etad āgamanāt pūrvam evāhaṁ nārada- pārśvaṁ gata iti cet tatrāhuḥ, vālānām apy ati-śiśūnām asmākam etāvīśvarau
:''niyantārāvatastavānyatra gamanaṁ na saṁbhavati.''
:(''Bhāvārtha-dīpikā'' 7.6.29)

So the ''asura-bāla'', the ''asura'' boys that, "My dear Prahlāda you are also a son of the royal family. You never went to learn any transcendental subject matter from anybody else. You are simply coming to the school, now as you have no other chance, so how you have learned all these things?" Therefore he explained. "Yes. I learnt it from Nārada." So anyone who challenges that, "Wherefrom you got this knowledge?" So we have to say that we have got it from the paramparā system directly from Kṛṣṇa. The our knowledge is perfect here. Actually from practical point of view Kṛṣṇa says: sarva-dharmān ''parityajya mām ekaṁśaraṇaṁ vraja'' ([[BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]]).

Or Kṛṣṇa says that: ''mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat kiñcid asti dhanañjaya'' ([[BG 7.7 (1972)|BG 7.7]]).

"There is no more superior authority than Me. You surrender unto Me." Then what we are preaching? We are preaching the same thing that, "Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, no-one is greater than Him, you surrender unto Him." Therefore our knowledge is perfect. We are speaking nothing extra. What Kṛṣṇa says, Kṛṣṇa is perfect. So His teachings are perfect and we are distributing that teaching therefore our philosophy is perfect, our preaching is perfect.

:''prahrāda tvaṁ vayaṁ cāpi''
:''narte 'nyaṁ vidmahe gurum''
:''etābhyāṁ guru-putrābhyāṁ''
:''bālānām api hīśvarau''

:''bālasyāntaḥpura-sthasya''
:''mahat-saṅgo duranvayaḥ''
:''chindhi naḥ saṁśayaṁ saumya''
:''syāc ced visrambha-kāraṇam''
:([[SB 7.6.29-30|SB 7.6.29–30]])

Now, this question that, "Prahlāda you were never out of your palace, how you could learn this?" This explanation will be given next chapter.

Thank you very much.

(break)

Devotee: Śrīla Prabhupāda . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Not like that. Suppose a man has got one million dollars by doing very large-scale business and another man, somehow or other, got the same million, one hundred million dollars. So it is to be understood that he has done all the business. The effect is there. The effect is there. ''Phalena paricīyate'', ''phalena paricīyate''—you haven't got to study how he has got it. When he has got it, it is to be understood that he has all done all this business, all this hard labor for this, because he has got the perfection. That is the analogy, that anyone who is already engaged in the transcendental loving service of the Lord, it is to be understood that he has already done all these pious activities legal, cultural and everything—''phalena paricīyate''. Even if he has not done it is to be understood that he has done.

Devotee: That means he doesn't have to do it any more?

Prabhupāda: No. Why? If you have got one hundred million dollars why should you work hard as a businessman? What is the gain? What is the profit there? You've already got the result. Why should you waste your time in that way? Another example can be given. That in high skyscraper building, one who is coming step by step, step by step, another is lifted by the elevator immediately. So it is to be understood that he has crossed over all the steps. It is two hundred steps. Why he should go again down, "Oh let me come step by step, step by step?" Do you like that? Very intelligent?

Devotee: No.

Prabhupāda: It is to be understood, "Yes. I have got all the steps." And if somebody says: "Oh I have not passed all the steps, step by step, let me go down again and come back." That is not very intelligent. It is not required. Your result is already there. You have come to the one hundred and second floor, that's all.

And attend these classes. If you want to maintain this temple you must follow this routine work. Otherwise what is the use of occupying this big hall and big house? There will be Deity installed. You will have to worship. You'll have to perform the regulative service. Make program. Simply for residential purpose there is no need of occupying such big house. Is it necessary? That simply for residing . . . (indistinct) . . . at night? That is also not very perfectly.

The regulative principles should be followed very strictly. (end)

Devotee: Śrīla Prabhupāda's morning lecture on the 8th, 1971, March. Came a bit later in, the day.

Prabhupāda: . . . becomes present no. The stone is also another kind of energy, material energy. Eh? Just like you do not know that this nail is very hard, very hard. You cut your nail you don't feel but just a half an inch below if you cut your skin, you feel. That does not mean this nail is not production of my body. Is it not? Eh? Even there is no sensation in the nail. That does not mean that it is not production of my body. Similarly even if you see a stone without any life that does not mean it is without Kṛṣṇa. It is another Kṛṣṇa energy. That is called external energy.

Just like we can see and do not see. The nail you do not feel sensation, just below the nail you feel sensation. Eh? So the skin is also produced by my energy and the nail is also produced by my energy but in one place I do not perceive in another place I perceive . . .

Material, what is this material world? Material world where Kṛṣṇa is not perceived. It appears Kṛṣṇa is absent, it is something else. That is nail when you forget Kṛṣṇa. The place is such nail that here forgetfulness of Kṛṣṇa is stronger, no sensation. Otherwise Kṛṣṇa . . . it is Kṛṣṇa's energy. Kṛṣṇa, this forgetful is also Kṛṣṇa's energy. It is stated in the ''Śrīmad'' ''Bhagavad-gītā'':
''aham sarvasya'' . . .

:''sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭo''
:''mattaḥ smṛtir jñānam apohanaṁ''(''ca'')
:([[BG 15.15 (1972)|BG 15.15]])

''Jñānam''—sensation, then perception. ''Apohanaṁ'' no . . . sensation . . . everything is emanating. Eh? This is contradictory, ''acintya''. We may argue how is that? In one place there is perception and in another place there is no perception, how they can be of the same source, same energy. Therefore ''acintya''. Everything Kṛṣṇa's ''acintya'', you can earn, adjust but there is adjustment in higher level of understanding.

:''vyāpako-vyāpako''
:''vyāpya-vyāpaka-nirdeśyo''
:''hy anirdeśyo 'vikalpitaḥ''
:([[SB 7.6.20-23|SB 7.6.22]])

He is personally ''vyāpaka''—localized, but His energy is ''vikalpitaḥ''. It spreads everywhere in His creation.

:''kevalānubhavānanda-''
:''svarūpaḥ parameśvaraḥ''
:''māyayāntarhitaiśvarya''
:''īyate guṇa-sargayā''
:([[SB 7.6.20-23|SB 7.6.23]])

So Kṛṣṇa can be realized, ''kevalānubhava. Kevalānubhava'' means—you can understand. Eh? Even though you cannot see face to face. One who is advanced he can understand. Just like in this body you do not see what is the soul. A dead man, when a man is dying you do not know what is that particle, spirit soul is passing. How it is passing? No scientist . . . (indistinct) . . . man. No medical man can . . . (indistinct) . . . out but he can feel it that the soul is gone—''anubhava''. This is called ''anubhava. Anubhava''.

So this ''anubhavānanda'' this as you are advanced in Kṛṣṇa consciousness that ''anubhavānanda''—feelings—feelings from feelings you—have a spiritual bliss. ''Anubhavānanda svarūpaḥ''. Not that Kṛṣṇa is impersonal, Kṛṣṇa is void. He is person but in our present position because we have got blunt material senses it is not possible to see Him face-to-face. But ''anubhavānanda'' but saintly persons, advanced devotees they see Kṛṣṇa's presence and they derive transcendental bliss in that. ''Anubhavānanda svarūpaḥ''.

''Kevalānubhavānanda-svarūpaḥ parameśvaraḥ. Svarūpaḥ, svarūpaḥ'' means—form, ''parameśvaraḥ''—the Supreme Personality of Godhead. See; a devotee, advanced devotee sees Kṛṣṇa is present here. He's talking with me, He's dancing. Everything—''anubhavānanda. Anubhavānanda svarūpaḥ''.

Just like Prahlāda Mahārāja and Hiraṇyakaśipu. When Prahlāda Mahārāja was . . . and his father was just trying to kill him with his sword. So the boy was seeing on the, what's it called? Pillar. Or what is called?

Devotee: Column?

Prabhupāda: Column, yes. He was seeing on the column, because he challenged, "Where is your Kṛṣṇa." He said: "Kṛṣṇa is everywhere." And immediately he was seeing on the column. So Hiraṇyakaśipu immediately to disrupt, "Is He there in the column?" Attack. So the same place, Hiraṇyakaśipu was there and Prahlāda was there. He is seeing but he cannot see. Just like when Kṛṣṇa manifested his ''virāṭ-rūpa'', Arjuna saw, not others. Similarly one who is advanced devotee he is ''sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti'' (Bs 5.38). 24 hours he is seeing Kṛṣṇa minimum, ''anubhavānanda''.

''Kevalānubhavānanda-svarūpaḥ parameśvaraḥ. Kevalānubhavānanda'' not like ''sahajiyās''. Oh we have struggled nights, I went to such and such place. I saw Kṛṣṇa's ''rāsa-līlā'' dancing. You know. The Gosvāmīs they ''anubhavānanda'', their, their process of devotional service was ''anubhavānanda''. Caitanya Mahāprabhu also exhibited this ''anubhavānanda''. "Where is Kṛṣṇa, where is Kṛṣṇa?" He is jumping on the water, in the sea. And similarly Gosvāmīs also. ''He rādhe vraja-devike ca lalite he nanda-sūno kutaḥ'' (''Ṣaḍ-gosvāmy-aṣṭaka'', 8).

"I am feeling that You are somewhere here, but where You are?" This is ''anubhavānanda. He rādhe vraja-devike ca lalite he nanda-sūno kutaḥ''. No advanced devotee will say that Kṛṣṇa was talking last night with me. There is many books like that. One book was presented by the group Vijaya Krishna Gosvami group. There is a book like that. Hm. Kṛṣṇa is coming and talking just like a boy, in this way describe. There is another group like that in Poona, Lilyfry He and his women they also write like that. Kṛṣṇa was snatching his cloth, harried and took his soul. There is. But we don't find all this nonsense in the life of Gosvāmīs or Caitanya Mahāprabhu. This is called ''sahajiyaism''.

Here also it is said ''anubhavānanda, kevalānubhavānanda-svarūpaḥ parameśvaraḥ''. One should see ''parameśvaraḥ'', the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as Caitanya Mahāprabhu saw it or the Gosvāmīs saw it. They knew Kṛṣṇa is somewhere in the ''vraja-pure'', in the Vrajabhūmi. Kṛṣṇa is somewhere, must be somewhere here but he does not see. He sees the presence and he touch him.

:''he rādhe vraja-devike ca lalite he nanda-sūno kutaḥ ''
:''śrī-govardhana-kalpa-pādapa-tale kālindī-vane kutaḥ ''
:''ghoṣantāv iti sarvato vraja-pure khedair mahā-vihvalau''
:(''Ṣaḍ-gosvāmy-aṣṭaka'', 8)

Their business is that Kṛṣṇa is somewhere here. I cannot see, "So where are You Kṛṣṇa? Where are You Kṛṣṇa?" So in this way they are crying and wandering all over the ''vraja-pure''. ''Khedair''—I cannot see You. You are here but I cannot . . . I am so sinful I cannot see you. ''Khedair mahā-vihvalau''—just like madness. This is called ''vihvalau, vihvalau, bhajana'' by separation. Always feeling Kṛṣṇa's presence at the same time that he cannot see—in this way.

:''kevalānubhavānanda-''
:''svarūpaḥ parameśvaraḥ''

:''kevalānubhavānanda-''
:''svarūpaḥ parameśvaraḥ''
:''māyayāntarhitaiśvarya''
:''īyate guṇa-sargayā''
:([[SB 7.6.20-23|SB 7.6.23]])

Being covered by the curtain of the external energy, to the atheist He appears nonexistent.)

But He is not within this material world. ''Māyayāntarhitaiśvarya'', He is present in Goloka Vṛndāvana and still He is present everywhere. ''Goloka eva nivasaty akhilātma-bhūto'' (Bs 5.37). His place is at . . . His abode is in Goloka Vṛndāvana but a still He is everywhere.

:''Māyayāntarhitaiśvarya''
:''īyate guṇa-sargayā''
:([[SB 7.6.20-23|SB 7.6.23]])

:''tasmāt sarveṣu kāleṣu bhūteṣu''
:''dayāṁ kuruta sauhṛdam''
:''bhāvam āsuram,''
:''bhāvam āsuram unmucya''
:''yayā tuṣyaty adhokṣajaḥ''
:([[SB 7.6.24|SB 7.6.24]])

(pause)

:''yasmād evaṁ''
:''tasmāt sarveṣu bhūteṣu''
:''yathocitaṁ dayāṁ''
:''sauhṛdaṁ ca kuruta''
:(''Bhāvārtha-dīpikā'', 7.6.24)

:''śrī-vigrahārādhana-nitya-nānā-''
:''śṛṅgāra-tan-mandira-mārjanādau''
:(''Śrī Śrī Gurv-aṣṭaka'', 3)

This is the beginning, ''Bhāgavata darśana''—worshipping the Lord by the ''arcanā-mārga. Śrī-vigrahārā—śrī-vigraha'' the form of the Lord. ''Ārādhana''—worshiping. ''Śrī-vigrahārādhana-nitya-nānā, śṛṅgāra''—and various kinds of dress and decorating. ''Tan-mandira-mārjanādi āśu'' This is the beginning according to the rules and regulations described in the ''śāstras'', one has to begin this ''vidhi bhakti''. Prescribed duties in devotional service. Everyone should learn how to worship, there is a beginning. But if you simply remain in that way. Of course one cannot remain, we make advance. ''Na tad-bhakteṣu cānyeṣu''. One is stateless.

Ah . . . the other day perhaps some of you accompanied me in that buy this house. That somebody went to call Baka and he came. That he is now busy. He's busy in worshipping the Deity and in one hour he will not be free. ''Kaniṣṭha-adhikārī'', in the lower stage. Because he does not know how to respect the devotees.

:''na tad-bhakteṣu cānyeṣu''
:''sa bhaktaḥ prākṛtaḥ '' (''smṛtaḥ'')
:([[SB 11.2.47|SB 11.2.47]])

He is thinking that he is very busy in worshipping the Deity but does not show respect to a devotee. He is ''kaniṣṭha-adhikārī''. But here Prahlāda Mahārāja recommends:

:''tasmāt sarveṣu bhūteṣu''
:''dayāṁ kuruta sauhṛdam''
:([[SB 7.6.24|SB 7.6.24]])

That you, you should know that Kṛṣṇa is present everywhere. So for Kṛṣṇa's service everything should be engaged. This is ''madhyama-adhikārī''. Prahlāda Mahārāja is recommending to his friends to become ''madhyama-adhikārī'', not ''kaniṣṭha-adhikārī. Kaniṣṭha-adhikārī'' they may be very much expert in worshipping the Deity, that is also required. But at the same time they should learn how to do good to others. How to respect a devotee. If he does not know that: ''na tad-bhakteṣu sa bhaktaḥ prākṛtaḥ smṛtaḥ.'' He is ''prākṛtaḥ''—material devotee. There is two positions by following the rules and regulations as described in the ''śāstras''. From the material platform we gradually rise to the transcendental platform. But if you simply stick to the material platform do not make improvement. Then that is, That happens. So, "I am busy now. I am now busy for one hour. I cannot see a devotee although he is at my door." This is ''kaniṣṭha-adhikārī''.

So Prahlāda Mahārāja recommends that you, ''dayāṁ kuruta sauhṛdam''. Because Kṛṣṇa is everywhere, so if, if you show your mercy to everyone. What is that mercy? To call him into Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is my (mercy). Just try to engage everything in Kṛṣṇa's service. Try to convert everyone to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, ''dayāṁ kuruta sauhṛdam. Bhāvam āsuram unmucya yayā tuṣyaty adhokṣajaḥ'' and give up this demoniac principals. What is God? Demoniac principle—what is God? God is everywhere you have to learn the art how to see Him and how to serve Him.

This is ''asura-bhāva''—what is God? Can you show me? Why don't you see? You will see, if you don't see now, you will see at the time of death. How God is. You'll see. Just wait for that moment. That time you cannot say: "Oh, can you show me God? Can you show me God?" "Yes, here is God." Just like Hiraṇyakaśipu, "Here is God." ''Uuuum! Bas'', Finished. (laughter) so if you want to see God like that, then you wait you will see. You cannot say there is no God. There is God. But He will be present in a different way. He will be present in a different . . . huh? For a devotee: ''premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena'' (Bs 5.38).

He is seeing God everywhere, every time. You do not see every, everywhere, every time God. All right, wait for it, that's all. You'll see God. Kṛṣṇa says: ''mṛtyuḥ sarva-haram āham'' ([[BG 10.34 (1972)|BG 10.34]])

"I am with you at death. When I take away everything." ''Sarva-haram''. That is I am; definition. So why don't you see God? Don't you see, another man dies, you will see also, at that time. You'll see Yamarāja, representative of God, how he catches you, how he takes away.

Prahlāda Mahārāja recommends that: ''bhāvam āsuram unmucya''. "You give up this rascal lust—there is no God. And God, God is not there." No. Try to understand God, try to see God. And so how you can see God? That is also said: ''dayāṁ kuruta sauhṛdam''. Just be merciful to everyone, to bring them into Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is ''premā'', Kṛṣṇa wants.

:''sarva-dharmān parityajya''
:''mām ekaṁśaraṇaṁ '' (''vraja'')
:([[BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]])

Kṛṣṇa wants it. So you serve Kṛṣṇa, to fulfil His mission. That just surrender unto Kṛṣṇa. Try in various ways and that is attempt. How one can convert persons to surrender unto Kṛṣṇa. This is our plan. ''Sevonmukhe hi jihvādau'' ([[CC Madhya 17.136|CC Madhya 17.136]]).

:''yena tena prakāreṇa manaḥ kṛṣṇe niveśayet''
:(Brs 1.2.4)

Somehow or other let him be engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. ''Yena tat. Sarve vidhi-niṣedhā syur etayor'' (Brs 1.2.4). Not in the beginning all the ''vidhis'' are there present. But find out how this man can be turned into Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is the trick. Not any stereotype to it. Ananta ''ācāryas''. So one has to find out the trick, how one can engage others into Kṛṣṇa consciousness. ''Yena tena prakāreṇa. Sarve vidhi-niṣedhā syur etayor eva kiṅkarāḥ'' (Brs 1.2.4).

So Prahlāda Mahārāja advises everyone to become preacher, he is also preacher. He, Prahlāda Mahārāja when he was offered benediction by Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva. He's preacher, just see, he is preaching amongst his class friends. Prahlāda Mahārāja's position is preacher. Meditation. So he is teaching others also to become preacher. ''Tasmāt sarveṣu bhūteṣu, sarveṣu bhūteṣu''—all living entities. ''Dayāṁ kuruta sauhṛdam'', just like a friend, be merciful on them. Don't be envious. Just like a medical man, sometimes operating.

The operating surgical operation going on and the patient is crying and calling by ill names. "You ''śva-paca'' (son of a hog) what you are doing." You see? But a still he has to do that. Yes. He has to do that. He may call ''śva-paca'' and ''tum kya kar rahe ho'' (what are you doing?) but he has to do it. ''Dayāṁ kuruta''. They may cry, "What is this nonsense Kṛṣṇa consciousness, you live with your own business, why do you come here to disturb us? You chant, why do you come here?" They say like that. You have no experience?

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Just like Jagāi and Mādhāi. They attacked Nityānanda prabhu, "Why you have come here? You chant Hare Krishna, then go away. Why you have come here? Let us joke." But still Nityānanda prabhu said: "No." Please once chant Hare Krishna. This is the duty of a preacher. And although they revolted, a still by the grace of Nityānanda they became p''arama-vaiṣṇava's. Dayām, dayām'' means—to the lower grade. ''Dayām''. Unless one is in the higher grade, he cannot show any ''dayām''—mercy.

A bank clerk how he can show mercy? Mercy, one can show, one who has got some assets, so ''dayām. Vividhāḥ, vividhāḥ'' the Ramakrishna mission uses ''vividhāḥ. Vividhāḥ'' means—cut the throat of the goat and the meat may be given to their friends. That is ''vividhāḥ''. And what, what fault this goat has done? And Brahma, Brahma is eating Brahma. They will put arguments like that. Ramakrishna himself he gave this reason, he was eating fish and he gave this reason. That Brahma, Brahma, my belly is also Brahma. So . . .

:''dayāṁ kuruta sauhṛdam''
:([[SB 7.6.24|SB 7.6.24]])

(aside) Not like that.

''Bhāvam āsuram unmucya yayā tuṣyaty.'' Give up this ''āsuri'' heart. This ''āsuribhava'' means if one does not understand what is God. What is our relationship? How he will preach? So these kind of questions. Can you show me God? What is God? Have you seen God? These are ''āsura. Asurānīka''. Prahlāda Mahārāja says give up this nonsense, rascaldom. ''Āsura-bhāva''—atheism. God is everywhere try to understand God, ''Kevalānubhavānanda-svarūpaḥ''. You can simply see as you become purified if you can see that is God. Not that you have to see personally, cheek to cheek, eye-to-eye. And give up this godlessness and preach. Be merciful to others this is Prahlāda Mahārāja's instructions.

:''yasmād evaṁ''
:''tasmāt sarveṣu bhūteṣu''
:''yathocitaṁ dayāṁ''
:(''Bhāvārtha-dīpikā'', 7.6.24)

''Yathocitam''. Not that if you approach somebody and try to preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness. You, you for. It is not that you'll be able to make him immediately Kṛṣṇa conscious. That is not possible but the ''yathocitaṁ'', you try, your best. That is your service. ''Sevonmukhe hi jihvādau svayam eva sphuraty adaḥ'' (Brs 1.2.234). When you render service, it is not that, that you have to turn one into Kṛṣṇa consciousness but if you try. If you do your duty on behalf of Kṛṣṇa. That will elevate you. That will help you being recognised by Kṛṣṇa. "Oh, there is a devotee, he is trying his best," that's all. It does not matter whether you have converted somebody or not. You can say simply, "Kindly chant Hare Krishna. Kindly chant Hare Krishna." Just like we appeal in the meetings, and it is so easy, why don't you take to it? And that is our preaching, that's all. Remember, a still although it is so easy they will not take, ''āsuram bhāvam. Āsura''. So easy I don't, know. Caitanya Mahāprabhu . . . (indistinct)

:''etādṛśī tava kṛpā bhagavan mamāpi''
:''durdaivam īdṛśam ihājani nānurāgaḥ''
:(''Śikṣāṣṭaka'' 2)

"You are so kind, my dear Lord, that You are present before me in Your holy name. I can chant it very easily but I am so unfortunate I don't take this."

You call him to chant Hare Krishna, he'll never take. He's so unfortunate. It is very easy, what is the difficulty? Hare Krishna. Even this child can take, if they are actually sane. But the ''āsura-bhāva'', they are thinking, "Oh what is this nonsense Hare Krishna? Let me go my office and take some earning." You see? But the preacher has to take the trouble, to bother him, that please chant Hare Krishna, please chant Hare Krishna. This is mercy.

I shall explain this point. (break)

Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: They are not at all sincere, ''mūḍhās''. They are described in the ''śāstra'' as asses. They have no intelligence. ''Mūḍhā. Na māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ'' ([[BG 7.15 (1972)|BG 7.15]]).

They are thinking, "Everyone thinks I am most sincere, I'm advancd." Everyone thinks like that. That is not, this is ''māyā''. "Oh, I am so advanced, I have learnt everything. Now I can see . . ." You see?

Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: What is that mathematics? What is that mathematics? So Bhaktivinode Ṭhākura says: ''jaḍa-vidyā saba māyāra vaibhava itaḥ'' (''Vidyāra Vilāse'', 3)

''Tomāra bhajane bādhā'', this so-called intricacies of mathematics science. They are absorbed in their brain. ''Tomāra bhajane bādhā'', they are simply impediments for advancing in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is the qualification. They are putting so many solid impediments for advancing. Against advancing. So what is the value of this? My business is how to become Kṛṣṇa conscious and let my life perfect. And all these things are simply impediments. Then what is the value of it? Technology Therefore Bhaktivinode Ṭhākura said: "They are simply impediments," ''tomāra bhajane bādhā''.

:''anitya soṁsāre,''
:''moha janamiyā,''
:''jīvake koroye gādhā''
:(''Vidyāra Vilāse'', 3)

He is already ''gādhā''—an ass and he becomes a greater ass. This because he is thinking, "Oh, I've discovered such Institute of Mathematics and Physics and discovered this law and . . ." He is absorbed in that thought but that thought means a stumbling block for his Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Therefore he was formally an ass, now he is greater ass. In the beginning he was ''mūḍhāḥ''—ass, now he has become greater ass. That's all. So do you think that to become greater ass is intelligent? What is your opinion? Greater ass!

Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Bigger. (laughter)

Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Eh? Without mathematics one is smaller? (laughter)

Prabhupāda: But with mathematicism? Bigger . . . so we have to honor big ass? You see? Because there is a big ass is established. Therefore we have to honor him? We haven't got to dishonor because: ''tṛṇād api sunīcena taror iva'' (''Śikṣāṣṭaka'', 3). But we should know there is a big ass. That's all.

Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Yes, yes.

Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: No, he wanted, he wanted to be mathematician—big ass.

Guest: . . . (indistinct) (laughter)

Prabhupāda: So Kṛṣṇa gave him intelligence, "Yes you become mathematics . . ." Kṛṣṇa is merciful, "All right you become . . ." He wanted to be a big politician, "All right you become politician." But His open instruction, "Give up all this nonsense, surrender." But if he does not do that, all right Kṛṣṇa is there. He is appealing, "All right you do it." I give you facility.

:([[BG 18.61 (1972)|BG 18.61]])

''Ca anumantā upadraṣṭā'' ([[BG 13.23 (1972)|BG 13.23]])

Eh? He is a persistant? I have given that example. That ah . . . when I was in Allahabad, that . . . (indistinct) . . . so I was sitting on my table at the electric fan, was going on. My eldest son, at that time he was two and a half years old. He touched that blade, he cut, he cried, "Save me." So another doctor was sitting, he advised me, "Just slow down and it will turn." So I slowed it down and I did not puzzle it to touch ''pyang! pyang!'' So I said: "Again touch." "No." (laughter)

Prabhupāda: "Again touch." "No." So that is the way. So when this child is persistent, let him do one thing. You see? And when he will experience, then he'll come back. ''Bahūnāṁ janmanām ante jñānavān māṁ prapadyate'' ([[BG 7.19 (1972)|BG 7.19]]).

He will go on being all kinds nonsense but after many, many births. He'll come to his sense, he'll become wise, at that time he surrenders to Kṛṣṇa. ''Vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ'' ([[BG 7.19 (1972)|BG 7.19]]). So Kṛṣṇa gives sanction, without sanction nobody can be anything, that's a fact. But how does he gives sanction? You are persistent. "Oh, all right. You do it."

But He is open and shut. ''Sarva-guhyatamaṁ'' ([[BG 18.64 (1972)|BG 18.64]]).

"I am just telling you the most confidential instruction. Give up all nonsense. Just surrender." Is that clear?

Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Hm. That's right. Without Kṛṣṇa's sanction nobody can be but Kṛṣṇa is very kind. ''Ye yathā māṁ prapadyante'' ([[BG 4.11 (1972)|BG 4.11]]).

That is Kṛṣṇa's kindness. He is kind to the thief and he is kind to the householder. Householder is praying, "My dear Lord, let there not be any burglary at night." And the burglar is praying, "Kindly help me, I shall go somewhere and steal something." So Kṛṣṇa can do? He has to help him and him also. (laughter)

Prabhupāda: That is Kṛṣṇa's business. He has to help the burglar and he has to help the householder. Both. And Kṛṣṇa says: "Why you are burglar? Why you are householder? You just become devotee. Then your problem is solved." But he wants to remain a burglar and he wants to be householder and there is struggle. And Kṛṣṇa has said yes . . . all right. (end)

Prabhupāda:

:''tat kṣamyatāṁ sa bhagavān puruṣaḥ purāṇo''
:''nārāyaṇaḥ sva-puruṣair yad asat kṛtaṁ naḥ''
:''svānām aho na viduṣāṁ racitāñjalīnāṁ''
:''kṣāntir garīyasi namaḥ puruṣāya bhūmne''
:([[SB 6.3.30|SB 6.3.30]])

Now Yamarāja is begging pardon from the Supreme Personality of Godhead because his men attempted to arrest a devotee—just see. He says: "I pray to the Supreme Personality of Godhead that He may cleanse my men because they have committed a great offense by attempting to arrest a devotee."

:''bhagavantaṁ kṣamāpayati,tad iti''
:''naḥ sva-puruṣair asmadīyatvena sthitaiḥ svīyair eva puruṣair yadyasmād asad anyāyyaṁ kṛtaṁ tat tasmāt svayam eva kṣamyatāṁ . . .''
:(''Bhāvārtha-dīpikā'' 6.3.30)

:''tat kṣamyatāṁ sa bhagavān puruṣaḥ purāṇo''
:''nārāyaṇaḥ sva-puruṣair yad asat kṛtaṁ naḥ''

''Asat-kṛtaṁ'', ''sat-kṛtaṁ'' means: "To offer respects," and ''asat-kṛtaṁ'' means: "To offer disrespects." To offer disrespects to devotees. As you know Vaiṣṇava ''aparādha'', that's a great offense. And he says: "''naḥ''". ''Naḥ'' means: "Including myself." He is taking responsibility himself also. "So I did not advise, instruct my men before. That they should not go to a devotees—ah that was my offense." Just see how a Vaiṣṇava is humble and meek. Yamarāja, the superintendent of death, a still he's so humble and meek.

:''tat kṣamyatāṁ sa bhagavān puruṣaḥ purāṇo''
:''nārāyaṇaḥ sva-puruṣair yad asat kṛtaṁ naḥ''
:''svānām aho na viduṣāṁ racitāñjalīnāṁ''
:''kṣāntir garīyasi namaḥ puruṣāya bhūmne''
:([[SB 6.3.30|SB 6.3.30]])

:''naḥ sva-puruṣair asmadīyatvena sthitaiḥ svīyair eva puruṣair yadyasmād ''
:''sad anyāyyaṁ kṛtaṁ tat tasmāt svayam eva kṣamyatāṁ sahatām ''
:''svānāṁ svīyānāṁ bhaktānāṁ no’smākaṁ na viduṣām ajñānām''
:''aho garīyasi tasmin kṣāntir yuktaiva''
:''maha iti pāṭhe svīyānāṁ māhātmyam aviduṣāṁ naḥ kṣamāṁ karotv ity arthaḥ''
:(''Bhāvārtha-dīpikā'' 6.3.30)

"So, so we did not know, neither my men did not know. Without knowing a devotee we tried to arrest," because that was not their mistake. This is the significance of this verse. They knew it very well because in the record of Yamarāja the all the criminal or sinful activities committed by Ajamila was recorded. But by chance he chanted the name of Nārāyaṇa therefore he was indemnified immediately for all his offenses—but that was not known to the assistants of Yamarāja.

:''tasmāt saṅkīrtanaṁ viṣṇor''
:''jagan-maṅgalam aṁhasām''
:''mahatām api kauravya''
:''viddhy aikāntika-niṣkṛtam''
:([[SB 6.3.31|SB 6.3.31]])

Now he concludes, Śukadeva Gosvāmī is concluding, ''kauravya''. This is term addressing Mahārāja Pariksit as the descendent of the Kurus, ''kauravya''. ''Tasmāt saṅkīrtanaṁ viṣṇor'', last night somebody was speaking that, "Any name chanting will do." No. ''Saṅkīrtanaṁ viṣṇor''. It is going on that any name, any demigod's name and there is a big propaganda on this point. Some. "So far great personalities, they think like that, that any name will do." But the ''śastra'' does not say that, ''hari-nāma''. ''Śastra'' says the holy name of Hari, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Here also it is said: ''tasmāt saṅkīrtanaṁ viṣṇor'', not any other demigod's name—not this. But they by force, because they are impersonalists, they manufacture such theories without any reference to the authoritative ''śastra''. ''Viṣṇu-nāma'', there are ten thousands of names of Viṣṇu. If you chant Viṣṇu's name, ''viṣṇusahasra'' name, thousand names of . . . there is a book, perhaps everyone of you know? ''Viṣṇusahasra-nāma''.

So here also it is said: "Out of thousands and thousands of name of Viṣṇu you can chant any one of them." Not any other names. Not that if I chant Kali's name. There is a regular Kali ''kīrtana'' party in Calcutta, perhaps you know. So these are all imitation, concocted. I have seen there is a party called ''Kali Kīrtana Party''. So that is a useless waste of time. Such ''saṅkīrtana'' will not do. Here it is particularly mentioned: ''tasmāt saṅkīrtanaṁ viṣṇor''. Because by chanting Viṣṇu's name, Viṣṇu and Kṛṣṇa the same, ''viṣṇu-tattva'', ''viṣṇu-tattva''. In the category of Viṣṇu all these names: Kṛṣṇa, Rāma, Madhusūdana, Nārāyaṇa, so many thousands of names. They count. Chanting the Viṣṇu's name there will be profit, there will be benefit because ''jagan-maṅgalam'', ''jagan-maṅgalam aṁhasām''—or all kinds of people, ''aṁhasām''—or sinful men. It is the most auspicious chanting Viṣṇu's names. Just like we chant the ''mantra'':

:''apavitraḥ pavitro vā''
:''sarvāvasthāṁ gato 'pi vā''
:''yaḥ smaret puṇḍarīkākṣaṁ''
:''sa bāhyābhyantaraḥ-śuciḥ''
:(''Garuḍa Purāṇa'')

''śrī viṣṇu'', ''śrī viṣṇu'', ''śrī viṣṇu''

That is the recommendation of all ''śāstras''. If one. According to Vedic principles if anyone says something which is wrong he immediately rectifies himself, "''śrī viṣṇu'', ''śrī viṣṇu'', ''śrī viṣṇu'': Oh I have done this wrong." Not any other method. And not . . . nobody is recommended to say, "''śrī sīdala'', ''śrī sīdala'', ''śrī viṣṇu''." No. Śrī Viṣṇu.

:''tad viṣṇoḥ paramaṁ padaṁ''
:''sadā paśyanti sūrayaḥ''
:(Ṛg Veda 1.22.20)

This ''mantra'', Viṣṇu is the ''parama pada''. So here it is also saying the same thing, in the Vedic literature you won't find any contradiction. Sometimes we argue, "Somebody has said like this, some ''mahātmā'' says like this." That is not very valued argument. Valued argument is when you quote from the Vedic literature, that is valuable. ''Veda-pramāṇa'', ''śruti-pramāṇa''. The ''śruti-pramāṇa'' is accepted amongst the authorities. Just like Caitanya Mahāprabhu, all the ''ācāryas'', they write comments on any authoritative book immediately giving quotations from ''Vedas'' to support his comments. Otherwise a personal comment has no meaning. If I comment on some Vedic literature on my personal point of view that is useless, it has no meaning but it is going on, "Oh such and such person." Unless one comes through the ''paramparā'' system his personality has no value: ''evaṁ paramparā-prāptam imaṁ rājarṣayo viduḥ'', ''Bhagavad-gītā'' ([[BG 4.2 (1972)|BG 4.2]]).

Unless one comes in the disciplic succession, chain of disciplic succession, so such persons. I mean to say, opinions or comments has no value.

:''tasmāt saṅkīrtanaṁ viṣṇor''
:''jagan-maṅgalam aṁhasām''
:''mahatām api kauravya''
:([[SB 6.3.31|SB 6.3.31]])

''Mahatām api'': Not only ordinary sinful, even the greatest sinful, ''mahatām api kauravya''. ''Viddhy aikāntika-niṣkṛtam'', ''aikāntika-niṣkṛtam'': fully. If anyone once chants this Lord Viṣṇu's name, Kṛṣṇa's name, Lord Rāma's name:

:''Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Hare Hare''
:''Hare Rāma Hare Rāma Rāma Rāma Hare Hare''

Immediately ''aikāntika-niṣkṛtam'', completely he becomes free from all sinful resultant actions. Immediately. But the difficulty is that after being released from such sinful resultant actions he again commits sins, because he is habituated, he's habituated. Therefore the habit has to be changed. The same example, just like the elephant takes bath very nicely in the sand and as soon as he comes over the land he takes some dust and throws over it. This mentality has to be changed but by construct even in the beginning one who is offender by chanting and committing again the same sin—because due to our practice. Kṛṣṇa says: ''api cet su-durācāro bhajate mām ananya-bhāk'' ([[BG 9.30 (1972)|BG 9.30]]).

"If he has got full faith in the chanting of His holy name even if he commits repeatedly sinful actions—on account of his past habits."

Not intentionally, it should not be intentionally done. If one thinks that, "I am chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa ''mantra'' let me go on also committing sins, it will be counteracted." That is greatest crime. Unintentionally due to past habits if one falls down from the sin that is excused and that becomes rectified by chanting. We have to chant therefore a fixed numerical division. So many times, minimum sixteen rounds. It will take not more than two hours. So we can find out, out of twenty-four hours, fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes, while walking on the street, while going somewhere, in the bus, in the train and at home, whenever there is. Even by lying down, you can chant, there is no ''niyamitaḥ smaraṇe na kālaḥ'' ([[CC Antya 20.16|CC Antya 20.16]]). There is no such restriction that you have to chant this early in the morning or after taking bath or so many. That is good but even that facilities are not available a still we can chant until became, it is so nice. (tape problem) up to us but chanting sixteen rounds and you are avoiding the offenses. Ten kinds of offenses and take, receive the holy name through the proper channels. Authorized, in this way one can elevate from the material platform to the spiritual platform. Spiritual platform means to become free from material contamination, that is spiritual platform. ''Tri-guṇātita'', material platform means the three ''guṇas'': ''sattva'', ''rajas tama''. And when one meets transcendental to these ''guṇas'' —qualities:

:''sa guṇān samatītyaitān''
:''brahma-bhūyāya kalpate''
:''sa guṇān samatītyaitān''
:''brahma-bhūyāya kalpate''
:([[BG 14.26 (1972)|BG 14.26]])

One can transcend these three, three qualities. How?

:''māṁ ca yo 'vyabhicāreṇa''
:''bhakti-yogena sevate''
:([[BG 14.26 (1972)|BG 14.26]])

One who is engaged in the devotional service without any . . . (indistinct) . . . in the beginning one has to . . . a little attached, then the parents haven't got to, of course then that, "Go to school and this and that," he automatically does. And that sort of mentality, in the beginning everything is like that. Formerly when boys and girls were married at an early age, the girls were about twelve years utmost. So the elderly members of the family used to teach the girls how to satisfy her husband but when the husband and wife become attached there was no need of such instruction. Similarly in the beginning one has to adopt the means and the prescribed rules and regulations of the ''śāstras'' for devotional service. But when he gets attachment, it is called ''āsakti'', ''āsakti''. ''Āsakti'' means attachment. There is stage, if you practice then there will be ''āsakti''. Then ''āsakti'' is not also final, ''āsakti'' then next stage is ''bhāvaḥ'' and the next stage is ''premā''. ''Ādau śraddhā tataḥ sādhu-saṅgo'' ([[CC Madhya 23.14-15|CC Madhya 23.14]]).

If one has got a little faith in devotional service then, as you are all coming here, this is little respect or faith in the devotional service ''ādau śraddhā''. That is the basic principle. Without ''śraddhā'' you can not make any progress but strictly speaking that ''śraddhā'' also unflinching. As it is stated in the ''Caitanya-caritāmṛta'': '''śraddhā'-śabde''—''viśvāsa kahe sudṛḍha niścaya'' ([[CC Madhya 22.62|CC Madhya 22.62]]). That is ''śraddhā''. Just like Kṛṣṇa says:

:''sarva-dharmān parityajya''
:''mām ekaṁśaraṇaṁ vraja''
:([[BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]])

Now ''śraddhā'' or respect for the statement means one who is firmly convinced. What is that?

That: ''kṛṣṇe bhakti kaile sarva-karma kṛta haya''. If I surrender unto Kṛṣṇa, under the at the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa then all perfection of my activities will come. This firm conviction is the basic principle of ''śraddhā''. If you have got a education Kṛṣṇa says that, "You surrender unto Me," and if I hesitate. I do not know whether Kṛṣṇa will be actually able to protect give me protection, that is not complete ''śraddhā''. ''Śraddhā'' means, "Full faith." Yes. Kṛṣṇa the Supreme Personality of Godhead is assuring, ''ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣayiṣyāmi'', then why not surrender unto Him? On this conviction if one surrenders unto Kṛṣṇa that is the basic principle of ''śraddhā''. That ''śraddhā'' you have to increase by your devotional service. That is the beginning if you have flickering faith then that is also lacking in ''śraddhā''. So ''ādau śraddhā'', so first of all you must have this ''śraddhā''. Then because one has got ''śraddhā'', naturally his business will be to associate with devotees. "Where devotees are sleeping? How the devotees are working? How they are developing Kṛṣṇa consciousness?" Through associates, so therefore we give chance, opening centers, we give chance for association. "Please come, sit down here and just try to learn something about devotional service, take ''prasādam''. In this way our activities are to give chance to the ordinary people for good association. If anyone has got ''śraddhā'' he will take advantage of the association. It is not a money making business that we keep one Deity, Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa, that is our business, how? Because we worship but however opportunity is offered to the people in general that they may come, they may offer obeisances, bow down before Kṛṣṇa. These every item is giving, helping him in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Is it true? If anyone comes simply bows down he becomes advanced. That we have discussed in the previous.

:''jihvā na vakti bhagavad-guṇa-nāmadheyaṁ''
:''cetaś ca na smarati tac-caraṇāravindam kṛṣṇāya no namati''
:([[SB 6.3.29|SB 6.3.29]] )

(aside) Don't do that.

''Kṛṣṇāya no namati'': Because the atheist class of men, they do not got to temples neither offer, neither bows down. So to give a chance because hundreds of devotees are bowing down, so one has to do it. That is their ''kṛṣṇa-bhakti'' phase, even if he does not like but out of previous . . . (indistinct) . . . would like to go, "Alright, take the arms and bow down." And as soon as he bows down he makes one step advancement, immediately. If he plays any instrument he advances, if he hears the prayer he advances. So these are the chances given to the ordinary neophytes. And as he comes, as he appreciates, ''sādhu-saṅgaḥ'', ''ādau śraddhā tataḥ sādhu-saṅgo''. The opportunity of ''sādhu-saṅga'' is given and by ''sādhu-saṅga'', when he is rectified almost. He offers himself, "Swamiji kindly initiate me." I get so many letters, so many requests, that is natural. If one has actually done ''sādhu-saṅga'' he will be inclinded to be a bona fide disciple, he is guided by a bona fide spiritual master. That is called ''bhajana-kriyā''.

:''ādau śraddhā tataḥ sādhu-''
:''saṅgo 'tha bhajana-kriyā''
:([[CC Madhya 24.14|CC Madhya 23.14]])

And if he actually follows the rules and regulations of ''bhajana'' then ''anartha-nivṛttiḥ syāt''. Then ''anartha'', unnecessary nonsense habits, sinful habits, will disappear. Just like these boys and girls they are habituated in so many unapproved habits but they have disappeared. Take for example they were meat-eating, they have given up meat-eating. They have given up, they were. Because in their social affairs meat-eating and drinking is a common thing, in Europe and America but this ''bhajana-kriyā'' helped them to give up everything. They are not even smoking, what to speak of drinking, they do not smoke even cigarettes, don't take tea, don't take coffee. This is called ''anartha-nivṛttiḥ''. ''Nivṛttiḥ'' means: "Vanishing, completely vanishing." ''Anartha'', ''anartha'', "That is not required." Nobody is dying without smoking, nobody is dying without drinking tea, nobody is dying without illicit sex but by bad association one learns all this nonsense. So similarly by good association and ''bhajana-kriyā'' they can give it up. That chance we are giving. ''Anartha nivṛttiḥ syāt''.

So after ''anartha-nivṛttiḥ'', ''niṣṭhā'': "Yes, I must take to devotional service," ''niṣṭhā''. Then ''ruciḥ'': then there is taste, there is taste. Wherever there is some talk of Kṛṣṇa immediately he goes there because he has got a taste. Then ''āsakti'', ''āsakti'' means: "Attachment." When ''āsakti'' platform is there he can not give up—''āsakti''. Just like one becomes attached to drinking wine, he can not give up similarly the same ''āsakti'' is transferred to Kṛṣṇa consciousness and he can not give up. Even if you pay him ''lakhs'' of rupees, "That give up this." Some of our students they have been actually offered by their fathers that, "You give up this Kṛṣṇa consciousness, I'll give you ten thousand dollars," and like that. "You do some business," but they, "No." They are living with us although they have no very good facility for eating, sleeping but still because there is attachment they are with us. That is called ''āsakti''. After this ''āsakti'' there is ''bhāvaḥ''—always thinking of Kṛṣṇa, and the next stage is ''prema'': how to love Kṛṣṇa, become mad after Kṛṣṇa. Just like Caitanya Mahāprabhu showed the example:

:''yugāyitaṁ nimeṣeṇa''
:''cakṣuṣā prāvṛṣāyitam''
:''śūnyāyitaṁ jagat sarvaṁ''
:''govinda-viraheṇa me''
:([[CC Antya 20.39|Cc Antya 20.39]])

When there is ''prema'' these things comes to be manifest, ''yugāyitaṁ nimeṣeṇa'': "One moment will appear just like hundreds of years." ''Yugāyitaṁ nimeṣeṇa cakṣuṣā prāvṛṣāyitam'': "Crying, the tears coming incessantly like torrents of rain." ''Cakṣuṣā prāvṛṣāyitam śūnyāyitaṁ jagat sarvaṁ'', "And without Govinda, without Kṛṣṇa, the whole world is vacant." That is ''prema''. Just like Gosvāmīs were, Gosvāmīs, they also told this: ''he rādhe''! ''vraja-devike''! ''ca lalite''! ''he nanda-sūno''! ''kutaḥ'' (''Ṣaḍ-gosvāmy-aṣṭaka'', 8).

They were living in Vṛndāvana, they were simply searching after, ''he rādhe''!: Śrī Rādhārāṇī, ''he nanda-suta''!: "O the son of Śrī Nanda Mahārāja," that means Kṛṣṇa. ''He rādhe''! ''he nanda-sūno!'' ''he vraja-devike''! ''ca lalite''! ''Vraja-devī'' the ''gopīs'', they are ''vraja-devīs''.

''Lalite'': the principal of the ''gopīs'', that's Rādhārāṇī. ''He rādhe!'' ''vraja-devike''! ''ca lalite!'' ''he nanda-sūno''! ''kutaḥ'', "Why You are?" ''Govardhana-kalpa-pādapa-tale kālindī-vanye kutaḥ'': "Are You near the Govardhan Hill or in the forest on the bank of the Yamunā River? Where You are?" This searching, this searching is called ''vipralamba'', love in separation, that is wanted. Feeling separation intensely and searching after, "Where is Kṛṣṇa? Where is Kṛṣṇa? Where is Kṛṣṇa?"

''Ghoṣantāv iti sarvato vraja-pure khedair mahā-vihvalau'': The Gosvāmīs, they were searching after Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa's associates all over Vṛndāvana—''vraja-pure''. ''Ghoṣantāv iti sarvato vraja-pure'', ''khedair'': simply lamenting, "Where You are? Where You are?" This is ''prema''. Not that, "Oh I seen yesterday, last night, Kṛṣṇa. He was dressing my cloth." This is ''sahajiyā'', this is ''sahajiyā''. This is actual ''vairāgya'', when one becomes mad after Kṛṣṇa, "Where is Kṛṣṇa? Where is Kṛṣṇa? Where is Kṛṣṇa?" That is ''prema'' and that is the highest perfection of life. So this highest perfection of life can be achieved beginning with:

:''tasmāt saṅkīrtanaṁ viṣṇor''
:''jagan-maṅgalam aṁhasām''
:([[SB 6.3.31|SB 6.3.31]])

Simply by chanting the holy name of the Lord. ''Tasmāt saṅkīrtanaṁ viṣṇor'': of Lord Viṣṇu, Kṛṣṇa, Rāma. Then:

:''mahatām api kauravya''
:''viddhy aikāntika-niṣkṛtam''

Even one is very grievously offender, sinful, he is also relieved and as soon as he's relieved the other things will follow. So long one is not relieved from sinful activities one can not take to devotional service. That is also stated in the ''Śrīmad-Bhagavad-gītā'' ([[BG 7.28 (1972|7.28]]): ''yeṣāṁ anta-gataṁ pāpaṁ''. "One who is completely free from all sinful reaction."

The sinful reaction can be missing indistinct immediately freed by chanting but one who sticks to, "No more commit any sinful offense." He is immediately purified. It's ''yeṣāṁ anta-gataṁ pāpaṁ''. In this way, when one is completely freed from sinful actions, this ''janānāṁ puṇya-karmaṇām'', and as soon as he is freed from sinful reactions his next activities will be simply pious activities. Devotional service is simply pious, ''puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ'' ([[SB 1.2.17|SB 1.2.17]]).

''Puṇya'' means: "Pious." Even one does not understand if he simply hears and chants, that is ''puṇya'', pious activities. Therefore the devotee is always situated on the pious activity platform:

:''śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ''
:''puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ''

The same thing in ''Bhagavad-gītā'':

:''yeṣāṁ tv anta-gataṁ pāpaṁ''
:''janānāṁ puṇya-karmaṇām''
:''te dvandva-moha-nirmuktā''
:''bhajante māṁ dṛḍha-vratāḥ''
:([[BG 7.28 (1972)|BG 7.28]])

As soon as you are situated on this platform then there is no question of duality. Whether I shall do it or do not. He is fixed up. ''Te dvandva-moha-nirmuktā bhajante māṁ dṛḍha-vratāḥ'': and anyone who is engaged with faith and steadiness in devotional service, he is ''mahātmā''.

:''mahātmānas tu māṁ pārtha''
:''daivīṁ prakṛtim āśritāḥ''
:''bhajanty ananya-manaso''
:([[BG 9.13 (1972)|BG 9.13]])

That is the symptom of ''mahātmā'', not that a manufactured ''mahātmā'', doing all wrong things and becomes ''mahātmā''—no. He is ''durātmā''. Anyone who is not devotee of Kṛṣṇa is a ''durātmā'', he is not ''mahātmā''. That is not said in the ''śāstras''. You can not manufacture ''mahātmā'' by your concoctions, here is ''mahātmā'': ''sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ''. He is fully surrendered unto Kṛṣṇa. ''Sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ'' ([[BG 7.19 (1972)|BG 7.19]]), that is ''mahātmā''.

(After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare.)

Devotee: Is ''bhakti'' . . . (indistinct) . . . ''mahābhāva'' . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: ''Mahābhāva'' is just like . . . it is not possible by any ordinary. ''Mahābhāva'' stage is possible by the ''gopīs'', the personal associates, eternal. And that is Kṛṣṇa's potency, pleasure potency. They are ''mahābhāgavatas'', ''mahābhāva'' is . . . (indistinct) . . . or with Kṛṣṇa. Just like Caitanya Mahāprabhu has ''mahābhāva''. ''Mahābhāva'' is not possible for ordinary devotees.

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: No. That is imitation, even they show some symptoms of ''mahābhāva''. Just like some falling down, this is imitation, chanting, chanting, fall down. Who will note this? You see? What is? So this is not possible for ordinary devotee, ''mahābhāva'' is different.

Indian Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Hm? Because Kṛṣṇa is God.

Indian Guest: Yes . . . (indistinct) . . . Kṛṣṇa is ''nirākāra''.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Indian Guest: So there have been so many teachers like Ramakrishna . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Well Ramakrishna is not a teacher.

Indian Guest: (indistinct) . . . God.

Prabhupāda: Ah. These are manufactured. It is not bona fide.

Indian Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: We cannot say I . . . at least we do not agree, you can not say whole world. So there is a list of incarnations, there are symptoms of incarnation. Incarnation does not mean anyone can claim that he is incarnation. There must be symptoms of incarnation. Every incarnation. Just like Lord Caitanya is accepted as incarnation in the ''śāstras'' and His symptoms are there:

:''kṛṣṇa-varṇaṁ tviṣākṛṣṇaṁ''
:''sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam''
:''yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair''
:''yajanti hi sumedhasaḥ''
:([[SB 11.5.32|SB 11.5.32]])

Similarly any incarnation you take, you have to consult ''śastra'', characteristics of that incarnation.

Indian Guest: (indistinct) . . . ''śāstras''.

Prabhupāda: Well if there is not mentioned in the ''śāstras'' how you can accept incarnation?

Indian Guest: Well . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: No.

Indian Guest: (indistinct) . . . natural that we are having . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: No. Even in the future.

Indian Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Even in future tense just like Lord Buddha, that is mentioned. Although ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'' was written five thousand years ago. So Lord Buddha's name is there. Lord Buddha appeared three thousand five hundred or six hundred years, so ''bhaviṣyati''. That means ''śastra'' is indicating in future Lord Buddha will come. Just like Kalki will come, that is also mentioned. In future at such and such time. Under such and such circumstances, "His father's name is that, his native place is that," everything is mentioned, that is ''śastras''. Even if one is going to be incarnation in the future, that is also mentioned in the ''śastra''. Not that because ''śastra'' was written at a certain time and the incarnation was not there. No, in the ''śastra'' the future incarnations are there also.

Indian Guest: But Swamiji . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: But Ramana, what he is?

Indian Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: That is (y)our misconception, what you know of ''Vedas''?

Indian Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: That maybe, this is a fools paradise, that is the word, that is another thing, but our authorities. Just like Kṛṣṇa says: ''evaṁ paramparā-prāptam'' (Bg 4.2), "Unless one is coming down from the ''paramparā'' system. They are not authorities." They are not authorities.

Indian Guest 2: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: But, but we do not say anyone who becomes in ecstasy in ''hari-kīrtana'', he worships some demigod.

Indian Guest: You believe that Lord Christ was a incarnation of?

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Indian Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: ''Śaktyāveśa-avatāra'', yes. ''Mahābhāgavata'' also. He never said that, "I am God."

Indian Guest: How do you know that I am (he) son of God?

Prabhupāda: Son of God is different. Son of God, everyone is son of God, everyone is son of God.

Indian Guest: Son and the father are the same.

Prabhupāda: Yes, actually son and father is the same, that, there is no discrepancy. This misconception, without reference of the ''śāstras'' and authorities, has deteriorated India's position.

Indian Guest: (indistinct) . . . great . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: He may be, a person may be very great devotee, great man, that is another thing. But to accept one as incarnation, that is different.

Indian Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Yes. He may be very great man, that is alright.

Indian Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: ''Yad yad vibhūtimat sattva''. Anyone a sense of exceptional qualities, ''mama tejo'ṁśa-sambhavam'' ([[BG 10.41 (1972)|BG 10.41]]), Kṛṣṇa says: "They are born of my ''tejaḥ'', ''aṁsa''."

But that does not mean he is incarnation. There were many persons, Hitler was also a very big man but that does not mean he becomes an incarnation. Napoleon Bonaparte, he also was a very big man. So in this world you will find big and bigger, bigger, bigger. One is bigger than another then up to go to Brahmā. Who can become like Brahmā? He has created this whole universe and he lives, you know? He lives: ''sahasra-yuga-paryantam'', ''ahar yad brahmaṇo viduḥ'' ([[BG 8.17 (1972)|BG 8.17]]), you can not calculate even his one day's life.

But he's not, he does never says that, "I am incarnation and God." So powerful. In comparison to Brahmā what are these insignificant—insignificant creatures? He is creator of this universe and his one day's life you can not calculate, that is stated in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'': ''sahasra-yuga-paryantam''. Forty-three ''lakhs'' of years makes one ''yuga'' and multiply it by thousand, ''sahasra yuga ahar yad'', that is Brahmā's twelve hours period. But he has never claims that he is incarnation of God. And what to speak of these insignificant—insignificant persons. So God or God's incarnation not so cheap thing? You should know what is God. That's from ''Bhagavad-gītā'' straight line , this Brahmā, why twelve hours you can not calculate? And how many in three days? Twelve hours you can calculate but twelve hours, again twelve hours night. Then, ''sahasra-yuga-paryantam'', again in this one month, and this in one year, such one thousand years, a one hundred years to be. So you can not calculate. Such a big personality, the first-born creature within this universe, he also never claims that, "I am incarnation of God."

Indian Guest: (indistinct) . . . Ramakrishna, he never would have claimed . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Yes, yes. He, he claimed, he claimed. He claimed he said that, "I am the same Rāma and Kṛṣṇa and Vivekananda accepted it."

Indian Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: That way, that means he claimed, he claimed.

Indian Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: If he did not claim then how Vivekananda knew that he is incarnation?

Indian Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Well, at the last moment you can also say. Does it mean, does it, does it prove that you are incarnation? We shall have to see, what are your symptoms of incarnation. That is stated in this. Just like characteristics, if you want to test one, any chemical, say test this salt. The salt and the sugar, it is looking the same, sometimes we mistake. By tasting we can know that this is salt and this is sugar. So what is the test? Simply by declaring somehow, "I am the same Kṛṣṇa," also I become incarnation? What is the test? Just like test regarding Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Lord Buddhadeva, Kalki, there are tests. Lord Kṛṣṇa, there is test, Lord Rāmacandra, there is test. What is the test of this Ramakrishna becoming incarnation?

Just like we are singing the song:

:''rādhā-mādhava kuñja-bihārī''
:''gopī-jana-vallabha giri-vara-dhārī''
:(''Gītāvalī'')

Immediately, ''giri-vara-dhārī'', lifting the hill, Govardhana Hill. It is impossible for any common man. A seven years old boy, he is lifting big hill.

Indian Guest: (indistinct) . . . Ramakrishna . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Indian Guest: (indistinct) . . . Govardhana . . . (indistinct) . . . Mount Everest . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: So you go on, you stop drinking that's very . . . all these boys have kicked up all these things without having being described as incarnation. Simply by my instruction, "You give up all this nonsense, they have sobered up." Does that mean I am incarnation because I have helped them in giving up drinking?

Indian Guest: (laughs)

Prabhupāda: They have kicked out, in one word, then I am better than Ramakrishna. Thousands of boys have given up. What Girish Ghose was? He was a ''gañjā'' smoker, I know. These are not the symptoms of incarnation. That helping one Girish Ghose from drinking. Now stopping these.

Indian Guest: (laughter)

Prabhupāda: An incarnation is not so cheap. We should consult ''śāstras'', that will be difficult. Kṛṣṇa says in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'':

:''yaḥśāstra-vidhim utsṛjya''
:''vartate kāma-kārataḥ''
:''na sa siddhim avāpnoti''
:([[BG 16.23 (1972)|BG 16.23]])

"You'll never get perfection." ''Na sukhaṁ'': "Neither happiness." And what to speak of going to the transcendental world? ''Na parāṁ gatim''. So we have to consult ''śāstras'' then understand who is incarnation, who is not incarnation and who is ''guru''. This nonsense propagation that one, everyone can have his opinion and that is their religion. Now the result is the Naxalites, they have created like steal-men . That is also another way of realizing. So our, our point of view that we are preaching this Kṛṣṇa Consciousness Movement on the basis of ''śastra'', not whimsically. Therefore I particularly named Kṛṣṇa—Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

So we are helping people just on the basis of Kṛṣṇa's instructions. Who can be greater instructor than Kṛṣṇa and who can be greater God than Kṛṣṇa? Supposing we accept Ramakrishna is incarnation, he says that, "I am the same Rāma-Kṛṣṇa," or Vivekananda preached that, "Here is God, Kṛṣṇa, the same Kṛṣṇa and Rāma." Now he is taking shelter of Kṛṣṇa and Rāma. Not by his activities he is proving he's incarnation. He is taking shelter, "I am the same Kṛṣṇa and same Rāma." Is it not? What is that?

Indian Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Eh? No. No. If he says that, "I am the same Rāma and Kṛṣṇa," that means he is taking shelter of Kṛṣṇa and Rāma. Is it not?

Indian Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: No. No. That's all . . . (indistinct) . . . with reference to Kṛṣṇa. Because Kṛṣṇa is accepted as God.

Indian Guest: (indistinct) . . . Rāma and Kṛṣṇa and then again he came as Ramakrishna.

Prabhupāda: That's alright, he is, he is taking reference with Kṛṣṇa. Because Kṛṣṇa is accepted as Lord he is taking advantage of Kṛṣṇa's position, that's all. Is it not?

Indian Guest: I mean to say . . . (indistinct) . . . she has respect for all the family members but she has got a special love for her husband. But the same thing for a devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa.

Prabhupāda: Anyway . . .

Indian Guest: (indistinct) . . . everybody has a moment . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Not that. Suppose this lady says that, "I am the wife of such and such gentleman." So I am interested with such and such gentleman, or any other, anyone else. The interest is to be real husband not that I will accept somebody as her husband who is not real. So as soon as I say I am the same Rāma and Kṛṣṇa then I am taking shelter of Rāma and Kṛṣṇa.

Indian Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: And his name is therefore given. His real name was Gadhadhara Chatterjee. His name was Gadhadhara Chatterjee, he was a priest and he was priest accepted as Rāma and Kṛṣṇa by Vivekananda, and priest. Now I, suppose he is incarnation of Rāma and Kṛṣṇa, take it for granted. Now he is the incarnation of Kṛṣṇa and Rāma so when Kṛṣṇa is there, Rāma is there, why you accept incarnation? Why not real Rāma and Kṛṣṇa?

Indian Guest: Well there are so many . . . (indistinct) . . . details . . . (indistinct) . . . and so on . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: That, that. That is another thing but when we are speaking of Kṛṣṇa, of course there is no . . . there is no difference between, that we have to make a through study. Just like about Buddha, it is said that: ''sammohāya sura-dviṣām'' ([[SB 1.3.24|SB 1.3.24]]).

Just to bewilder the atheist class of men, that is stated there. Lord Buddha appeared just to bewilder the ''sura-dviṣām'', the ''sura dviṣām'' means, "Those who are envious of the devotees," or the atheist class of men. Now what was that bewilderment? The atheist class of man, they do not believe in God. Lord Buddha never said that there is God. He said that, "Yes, there is no God, there is no soul," ''ahiṁsā paramo dharmaḥ'' (''Sātvata-tantra'' 9.40). "You just become non-violent and hear what I say." Now He is incarnation of God, He never says that, "I am incarnation," because He did not say about God so there is no question of He is saying that, "I am incarnation of God." But the ''śastra'' says that he is incarnation of God. So He says, to the atheist class. "Oh yes, if you hear me, I say that you become non-violent, don't kill animals." So God is saying in a different way but they are taking, "There is no God, let us follow Lord Buddha." That is called ''sammohāya'', this very word is used.

So it is no use arguing but if you consult and take reference from the ''śastras'', then everything will be clear. But if you say that, "There is no need of reference to the ''śastras''," then there can not. There cannot be any end of argument.

Indian Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Yes. So we are speaking on the authority of ''Bhagavad-gītā'' especially. Therefore our societies name is Kṛṣṇa Consciousness. But when you say something which has reference to the ''śāstras'', we have to stick to the reference of the ''śāstras'', otherwise there is no end of argument. Kṛṣṇa says: ''yathaidhāṁsi samiddho 'gnir''. ([[BG 4.37 (1972)|BG 4.37]])

We are referring to ''Bhagavad-gītā'', that you can not go out of the reference of the ''śāstras'' to create something, that is not possible. That will not admit and nobody can create ''śāstras'': ''dharmaṁ tu sākṣād bhagavat-praṇītaṁ'' ([[SB 6.3.19|SB 6.3.19]]).

''Śastra'' and ''dharma'' is the creation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Not that anyone can create any religious principle, no, that is also not possible. That is not allowed.

So Ramakrishna Mission says: ''yato mata tato patha''. Is it not? That means anyone can create an institute of ''dharma''.

Indian Guest: (indistinct) . . . but God is one.

Prabhupāda: That's a fact, that's a fact but that God is not so cheap. That's a fact, God is one, it is not that, that anyone and everyone can become God.

Indian Guest: (indistinct) . . . proved that theory and become realized God in this very life.

Prabhupāda: But he has not studied at least Hindu religion. I will say. I will give you evidence. You should refer to the Hindu religion system. Then I say he has not at least tried to know what is real religion. For arguement's sake.

Indian Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: No. Because you have referred, that's what I am replying you. Because you see if you refer something . . .

Indian Guest: (indistinct) . . . if we had more time. I shall come some time and . . .

Prabhupāda: No, we have got enough time, we are meant for this purpose, we can spend twenty-four hours for this way, if you get really time to hear. (pause)

Indian Guest: Then how long will you be here?

Prabhupāda: For the time being, suppose I'll be up to the end of this month. These boys and girls in Europe and America they have been benefited because they have no any concoctions within their brain. They have been presented, ''kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam'' ([[SB 1.3.28|SB 1.3.28]]), and they are, I mean to say ordered to follow certain principles, and they have faithfully done it and they have taken Kṛṣṇa consciousness and they are . . . (indistinct)

That is their . . . (indistinct) . . . they have no hodgepodge ideas . . . (indistinct) . . . and that is the only constitution by which they are improving so quickly. Within four years they have became so nice Vaiṣṇavas that in our country also, the Vaiṣṇavas are feeling ashamed by this sincere behaviour.

Indian Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Indian Guest: (indistinct) . . . sincere . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Here. What is that sincere? Sincerity means they have accepted the right thing. Kṛṣṇa says:

:''sarva-dharmān parityajya''
:''mām ekaṁśaraṇaṁ vraja''
:([[BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]])

They have accepted. Sincerity. They have nothing within the brains that there was so many other ''kiñcana'', other ''kiñcana'' and other ''kiñcana''.

You should take ''Bhagavad-gītā'', that is . . . that was spoken five thousand years ago and any section, any mission, they are referring to the ''Bhagavad-gītā''. So they can not avoid ''Bhagavad-gītā''.

Indian Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Then why not directly ''Bhagavad-gītā''? Why you are going here and there? The ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is the essence, why you are going here and there? Take ''Bhagavad-gītā'' as it is and you will be benefited. Why adulteration? Why incarnation of Kṛṣṇa, why not Kṛṣṇa direct? That is our proposition. If you have got the original thing.

Indian Guest: (indistinct) . . . Kṛṣṇa was also incarnation of Viṣṇu only.

Prabhupāda: That's alright, we are talking of ''Bhagavad-gītā''. That when the original thing is present there why a substitute? That is intelligence. Why should we accept a substitute when the original thing is present there?

Indian Guest: But Ramakrishna . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: That's alright, taking Kṛṣṇa as incarnation or ''Bhagavad-gītā'' spoken by . . . we are dealing with ''Bhagavad-gītā'' and everyone is reading. Śrī Aurobindo also reads, writes on ''Bhagavad-gītā'', Vivekananda speaks on ''Bhagavad-gītā''. Any big man, Gandhi speaks on ''Bhagavad-gītā'' and everyone speaks in foreign countries, here also, why not take directly ''Bhagavad-gītā''? What is the objection?

Indian Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Yes. That you have to do. That's it.

Indian Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: But if you accept ''Bhagavad-gītā'' finish it take it sincerly and you begin. Don't make adulteration. That is our proposition. Especially putting forward that using the ''Bhagavad-gītā'', take it as it is, you are benefited. If you are getting fresh milk from the cows why should you go to accept bottled milk? "The bottled milk . . . (indistinct) . . . will give you same milk," that's all right, "I am getting fresh milk from the cows directly." Which you will prefer?

Indian Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: That is another point.

Indian Guest: (indistinct) . . . the cows . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Then bottled milk is guaranteed that it is not taken from the diseased cow?

Audience: (laughter)

Prabhupāda: But this is your argument. Why not? I am talking of fresh milk.

Indian Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: (laughter) Oh, then do you mean to say that bottled milk, is guaranteed that it is not from the diseased cow? That is no argument. There are two kinds of milk selling, one man is giving directly fresh milk and another one is selling bottled milk, which you will prefer? Sometimes we go purchase, to purchase medicine and the dealer says, "Here is a substitute it is as good as the . . . it is cheaper." Then he says: "Oh no, I don't want cheaper, give me that original." What do you think? That is intelligence. Because it is cheaper, it may be . . . (indistinct) . . . why should take the risk?. Then we take directly. That is the original. That is intelligence. When the original is available why I shall go to the substitute? That is our argument. (indistinct Hindi) . . . some original . . . (indistinct) . . . why you will go to substitute.

Study the original instruction from Kṛṣṇa and be benefited. That is our proposal. This is ''prasāda''. . . . (indistinct)

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Hm?

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: For a layman one should . . . (indistinct) . . . unless he consults the doctor and one who knows that the ingredients of Anacin Aspro is the same. Cathline asprin and penadrixal then there is no harm taking asprin because maybe different.

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Maybe they are. The ingredients are the same, I know what is aspro and what is anasine. I was chemist in my ''gṛhastha'' life. This is combination of Phenacetin asprin . . .

That is alright. The formula is different then rectifying, analyze it.

So in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' it is said: ''mām ekaṁśaraṇaṁ vraja'' ([[BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]]). And Ramakrishna says that any particle. The formulae is the same? Therefore we should not accept it. Kṛṣṇa says: ''mām ekaṁ''! And Ramakrishna says any ''ekam'' is similar? Immediately the formula different. Is it not? Therefore how can I accept?

Indian Guest: (indistinct) . . . Vivekananda . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda Kṛṣṇa says, "''mām''" and Ramakrishna says: "Anything".

This is trying new. That he has business and now try. An old acquaintance I went to see that he personally told me that the Americans now are inquiring that, "You are taken so much, so much money for distributing to the poor and when we go to India we see that so many poor men are lying on the footpath. So how you are utilizing this money?" This question was asked by the Americans. That they conclude. Even in America there are many institutions, I know—bogus. They draw huge quantities of money from the foundations, As you were, just like our government for rehabilitation. So many things are going on. So in the name of India, poor India, suffering India so many.

Devotee: (indistinct) . . . foundation.

Prabhupāda: Yes. You can become a kept dog. What is called? Kept wolf?

Devotee: Kept wolf?

Prabhupāda: Yes. And it is advertised India is very poor, dying. Without American sons they are dying.

Devotee: Yes. (end)

Devotee: Next lecture delivered in the morning of January 26th.

Prabhupāda:

:''vande 'nantādbhutaiśvaryaṁ''
:''śrī-caitanya-mahāprabhum''
:''nīco 'pi yat-prasādāt syād''
:''bhakti-śāstra-pravartakaḥ''
:([[CC Madhya 20.1|CC Madhya 20.1]])

Śrī Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī author of ''Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta''. Is in the beginning of the 20th chapter—''Madhya-līlā''. ''Caitanya-caritāmṛta'' is divided into three ''līlās''. ''Ādi-līlā'', ''Madhya-līlā'' and ''Antya-līlā''. The first part it describes about Lord Caitanya's birth and His youthhood activities in Navadvīpa. That comprises the ''Ādi-līlā''. And His preaching and teaching comprises the ''Madhya-līlā''. And His remaining in Jagannātha Purī for 18 years in ecstasy that is called ''Antya-līlā''.

Caitanya Mahāprabhu appeared 485 years ago in Navadvīpa and He remained in this mortal world for 48 years only. At the age of 24 years although He was very learned scholar, ''brahmin'' and very respected in Navadvīpa circles. A still for preaching work He gave up his family life at a very early age, 24 years only. And He took ''sannyāsa'' and travelled all over India preaching this cult of Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

So He had many thousands and thousands of disciples out of which six Gosvāmīs were principal and one of them is Sanātana Gosvāmī. We shall discuss today about Śrī Sanātana Gosvāmī how he was elevated to the position of Gosvāmī, although he was considered as the lowest. Here in this verse it is said: ''nīco 'pi'', ''nīco'', ''nīco'' means—lowest. ''Nīco 'pi'', although he was in the lowest position of the society, ''nīco 'pi yat-prasādāt''—but by the mercy of Lord Caitanya. ''Syād bhakti-śāstra-pravartakaḥ''.

Sanātana Gosvāmī was the principal Gosvāmī amongst the chief Gosvāmīs in Vṛndāvana. ''Vande rūpa-sanātanau raghu-yugau śrī-jīva-gopālakau'' (''Ṣaḍ-gosvāmy-aṣṭaka''). The six go for, the modern Vṛndāvana city was developed by the six Gosvāmīs. Before them it was a field only. Everyone forgot where Kṛṣṇa's ''līlā'' was there. Caitanya Mahāprabhu when He visited this Vṛndāvana area He indicated Rādhākuṇḍa and then He sent His disciples, these Gosvāmīs. Rūpa Gosvāmī, Sanātana Gosvāmī, they excavated the different parts of this Vṛndāvana. The present Vṛndāvana city is due to their hard labor and then other four Gosvāmīs also joined and Vṛndāvana became a holy place. Vṛndāvana is always holy place but nobody knew where was Vṛndāvana, after 5,000 years of Kṛṣṇa's departure.

So these Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavas guided by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu this Vṛndāvana was . . . (indistinct) . . . Kavirāja Gosvāmī says that—I offered, ''vande aham ananta adbhuta aiśvaryam''. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, this is an indication of God or God's incarnation . . . they will exhibit . . . unlimited opulences which is not possible for ordinary man. We cannot accept anyone as so called incarnation without exhibiting extraordinary power which is impossible for an ordinary. That is the science.

:''vande 'nantādbhutaiśvaryaṁ''
:''śrī-caitanya-mahāprabhum''
:''nīco 'pi yat-prasādāt syād''
:([[CC Madhya 20.1|CC Madhya 20.1]])

''Nīco'', ''nīcaḥ'' means—life. But by the mercy of Lord Caitanya the Sanātana Gosvāmī became the leader of the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava's society. The Sanātana Gosvāmī was of course born in ''brahmin'' family, ''sarasvatī brāhmaṇa'' family. But they are very aristocratic, accepted Nawab Hussein Shah's ministership, at that time in Bengal. The government was Pathan government and Nawab Hussein Shah was the ruling governor at that time and these two brothers, Sākara Mallik and Dabir Khās. These are Mohammedan names. They were changed because they accepted the ministership of a Mohammedan ruler. The ''brahmin'' community excreted them from the society. That eh, excommunicated. That you cannot remain in the ''brahmin'' society. They were very strict at that time that anyone First of all a ''brahmin'' could not accept any service then he was considered a ''śūdra''. And if And they accepted the service of a Mohammedan ruler, so they were rejected from the ''brāhmaṇas'' society and practically they became Mohammedan's. Because their names were also changed, Sākara Mallik and Dabir Khās.

Therefore ''Caitanya-caritāmṛta'' says ''nīco'', although they were considered the lowest a still by the mercy of Lord Caitanya they were raised to the highest position. This is Caitanya Mahāprabhu's extraordinary power.

:''ethā gauḍe sanātana āche bandi-śāle''
:''śrī-rūpa-gosāñīra patrīāila hena-kāle''
:([[CC Madhya 20.3|CC Madhya 20.3]])

These two brothers decided that we shall retire from this government service and join Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's movement. So this one brother, Rūpa Gosvāmī, Sākara Mallik, he without giving any notice he left the government service and went to Vṛndāvana side. And he left some money in a village banker's custody and he informed his brother, elder brother, Sanātana Gosvāmī. That, "I have come to such and such place, you also come and if you need some money. Such and such money is deposited in such a village banker. You can take it." Sanātana, Rūpa Gosvāmī after retirement they brought huge amount of money. It is said: "Golden coins." At that time there was no paper currency, gold currency. And he brought a full, I mean to say, boat of golden coins. Just imagine how much he brought. Out of that 50% he distributed for Kṛṣṇa, left to the Vaiṣṇavas and the ''brahmins'' and 25% they gave to the relatives. And 25% they kept for their emergency. So this emergency money was deposited in a village banker's custody. That is said here.

And, ''ethā gauḍe sanātana āche bandi-śāle'' ([[CC Madhya 20.3|CC Madhya 20.3]]), so Sanātana Gosvāmī was arrested. When he refused to join the government service. Because during those days Mohammedan kingdom although the ruler was Mohammedan but the mostly the ministers were Hindus. Because they knew that Mohammedan's could not be trusted with a responsible post. Bhāgavata raja also the same principle was there. Respectable Hindus were appointed. As Just like in Nawab time Mahārāja Mānsiṅgh was the commander-in-chief. So that was the policy there. Even in recent years there is a big Mohammedan Agha Khan, all his responsible officers are Hindus.

So Sanātana Gosvāmī when he wanted that, "I cannot work any more, please excuse me." So Nawab Hussein Shah, very much upset, "How my government will be trained up. Everything depended on you and you are saying that you shall retire." He said: "It cannot be. I cannot allow it." So he wanted that, "Even though you do not accept I cannot join any more." Then he said that, "I shall punish you if you say like that." So Sanātana Gosvāmī replied: "Sir you are King, representative of Nārāyaṇa, if you give me some punishment, I shall accept." Just see how much the Vaiṣṇava is humble he did not protest that he was Mohammedan, "Oh you cannot do this," and he said that, "You are representative of Nārāyaṇa." Actually that is the vision of Vaiṣṇava. Whoever is in power, a Vaiṣṇava gives not only a person who is in power, even to the ant, even to the insect:

:''tṛṇād api sunīcena''
:''taror iva sahiṣṇunā''
:''amāninā mānadena''
:''kīrtanīyaḥ sadā hariḥ''
:(''Śikṣāṣṭaka'' 3)

Those who are engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, chanting of the holy name of the Lord. They should be like this Caitanya Mahāprabhu says, ''tṛṇād api sunīcena''. They should be humbler than the grass, tolerant than the tree.

:''tṛṇād api sunīcena''
:''taror iva sahiṣṇunā''
:''amāninā mānadena''

They should not demand any respect for themselves but give all respect to others. Even he has no respect. ''Amāninā mānadena kīrtanīyaḥ'', if one can situate his position like this then he will be able to chant this Hare Krishna ''mantra'' without being disturbed. So Sanātana Gosvāmī was arrested because he refused to join the government service so he was arrested and put into the jail. In the meantime he got, received one letter from his brother, that somehow or other you come and join with me.

:''patrī pāñā sanātana ānandita hailā''
:''yavana-rakṣaka-pāśa kahite lāgilā''
:([[CC Madhya 20.4|CC Madhya 20.4]])

He was very glad to receive the letter from his brother, Rūpa Gosvāmī and he began to speak to the superintendent of jail. Because he was Minister, so the superintendent of jail was working under him. Now he is put into jail, so the superintendent of jail was very respective to him. But what can be done? State orders, he was put into the jail. So they were talking in friendly terms.

:''"tumi eka jindā-pīra mahā-bhāgyavān''
:''ketāba-korāṇa-śāstre āche tomāra jñāna''
:([[CC Madhya 20.5|CC Madhya 20.5]])

So this is because he was Minister, politician, diplomat. So he's elevating, artificially, the jail superintendent. That you are ''jindāpīra''. ''Jindāpīra'' means living, ah, ''pīra''. Because Mohammedan's they respect their ''pīra''. So when a Mohammedan dies the grave is worshipped as ''pīra''. So Sanātana Gosvāmī flattered him that you are not dead ''pīra'', but you are living ''pīra''. You are so fortunate. That means he flattered him and he said that, ''ketāba-korāṇa-śāstre āche tomāra jñāna''. Although he may be number fool, number one but a still he said that I am sure that you are well versed in your Koran and other scriptures and you are so great. So I am appealing to you. This is political gesture. So:

:''eka bandī chāḍe yadi nija-dharma dekhiyā''
:''saṁsāra ha-ite tāre mukta karena gosāñā''
:([[CC Madhya 20.6|CC Madhya 20.6]])

Now you must be knowing that, that if you can release one prisoner from the prison house. Then you will be released from the material entanglement. That you know, I haven't got to say anything more. You know all these things. So of course what Sanātana Gosvāmī said that is a fact. But in this way that, "I am put into the prison without any fault. So if you kindly release me Kṛṣṇa will be very kind upon you and He will release you from this material world." That's a fact but he was presenting in a different way.

:''pūrve āmi tomāra kariyāchi upakāra''
:([[CC Madhya 20.7|CC Madhya 20.7]])

Now he is reminding, because he was Minister. So Minister can do so many things, "So I did so much for you, when I was in office. Now I request you that you kindly release me. Don't put me here. That's my request to you."

:''pāṅca sahasra mudrā tumi kara aṅgīkāra''
:([[CC Madhya 20.8|CC Madhya 20.8]])

So, not only he was . . . (indistinct) . . . and flattering but because he had some money in the village banker. He says that, "I have got some money, you take $5,000." ''Mudrā'', ''mudrā'', at that time ''mudrā'' was . . . the exchange value was, now it is 80 rupees. Just like 80 rupees—dollar was offered to him—5,000. That I shall give you this golden coins 5,000.

:''puṇya, artha, dui lābha ha-ibe tomāra''
:([[CC Madhya 20.8|CC Madhya 20.8]])

"By accepting this money, you'll get money at the same time you'll be pious. Not that because you are taking bribe you will be impious. I give you in good way this money," he said: "And because you will release me, Kṛṣṇa will be satisfied. Kṛṣṇa will be satisfied," that's a fact. Because if you do something good to a devotee, who is so anxious to join Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Not that people may criticise, how Sanātana Gosvāmī was bribing a jail superintendent to get out of it. Now you should not study in that way. It is a fact, Sanātana Gosvāmī is now dedicated to the service of Lord Caitanya. Anyone who would help him, somehow or other he will be benefited. That's a fact.

:''tabe sei yavana kahe, "śuna, mahāśaya''
:''tomāre chāḍiba, kintu kari rāja-bhaya"''
:([[CC Madhya 20.9|CC Madhya 20.9]])

"I am quite agreeable to your proposal. But I am also afraid of my life, if I release you then what the will Nawab think of me? He will arrest me and he will give me trouble. How can I avoid that?" Because he was in custody.

Just like it so happened, perhaps you know the Indian history. When Shivaji was arrested by Aurangzeb, so Shivaji appealed to Ramsingha. Ramsingha was at that time commander-in-chief that, "In your presence this Aurangzeb made a trick and he has arrested me and you are seeing me without any I mean to say, being sorry. So you help me." So Ramsingha helped him to get out of the Red Fort and that was Shivajis Aurangzeb's anger upon him.

He was also politician, he could understand that in the presence of Ramsingha the Shivaji fled away from the Fort. So there is some intrigue and he became very angry and as a reaction he broke the temple constructed in Vṛndāvana by Man, his grandfather Mansingh. That is the history of breaking the temple of Govindaji. So sometimes these politics and between the Mohammedan rulers and the Hindu chiefs were going on.

So he is also afraid that, "If I release you then what will be my condition?" That means because he was Minister, he was taking advice from him, how I can protect myself?

:''sanātana kahe, "tumi nā kara rāja-bhaya''
:([[CC Madhya 20.10-11|CC Madhya 20.10]])

Sanātana replied, Sanātana Gosvāmī that even he was not clear about. I shall give you some advice how to get out.

:''dakṣiṇa giyāche yadi leuṭi' āoyaya''
:([[CC Madhya 20.10-11|CC Madhya 20.10]])

Formerly, a still in India the practice is that people go to evacuate in the fields. So he says that you will tell to the Nawab that Sanātana was allowed to go to evacuate himself in the fields.

:''tāṅhāre kahio—sei bāhya-kṛtye gela''
:([[CC Madhya 20.10-11|CC Madhya 20.11]])

To evacuate, he went to evacuate himself.

:''gaṅgāra nikaṭa gaṅgā dekhi' jhāṅpa dila''
:([[CC Madhya 20.10-11|CC Madhya 20.11]])

But suddenly from the bank of the Ganges he jumped over. ''Sanātana līlā''.

:''aneka dekhila, tāra lāg nā pāila''
:(CC Madhya 20.12)

I enquired so much but I could not trace him:

:''lāg nā pāila.''
:''dāḍukā-sahita ḍubi kāhāṅ vahi' gela''
:([[CC Madhya 20.12|CC Madhya 20.12]])

He was, what is call? Handcuffed; and because he jumped he could not swim so by the waves of the Ganges he was carried away. I could not save him. "You tell the Nawab like this." So he, he thought it is nice, wise advice. So he took the money, ''dāḍukā saiva''.

:''kichu bhaya nāhi, āmi e-deśe nā raba''
:([[CC Madhya 20.13|CC Madhya 20.13]])

And don't be afraid. I am leaving this country for good. Nobody will be able to trace me. Just like Subhash Ghosh left this country. So similarly the Sanātana Gosvāmī did. He was also helped by the then Minister Mira Murji.

:''kichu bhaya nāhi, āmi e-deśe nā raba''
:''daraveśa hañāāmi makkāke yāiba"''
:([[CC Madhya 20.13|CC Madhya 20.13]])

That I'll become a dervish and I shall go to Mecca. So the superintendent jail agreed.

:''tathāpi yavana-mana prasanna nā dekhilā''
:''sāta-hājāra mudrā tāra āge rāśi kailā''
:([[CC Madhya 20.14|CC Madhya 20.14]])

When Sanātana Gosvāmī saw that a still he was hesitating then he increased the amount to $7,000.

:''lobha ha-ila yavanera mudrā dekhiyā''
:([[CC Madhya 20.15|CC Madhya 20.15]])

When the money was placed before him. He became captivated, "Oh, so much money I am getting. All right."

:''rātre gaṅgā-pāra kaila dāḍukā kāṭiyā''
:([[CC Madhya 20.15|CC Madhya 20.15]])

Then he was released. He was taken off the handcuffs and at night was released.

:''gaḍa-dvāra-patha chāḍilā, nāre tāhāṅ yāite''
:''rātri-dina cali' āilā pātaḍā-parvate''
:([[CC Madhya 20.16|CC Madhya 20.16]])

''Pātaḍā-parvate'', he attained somewhere here in the Bihar province. So, walking, walking, walking for days he came to the ''pātaḍā-parvate'' hill.

:''tathā eka bhaumika haya, tāra ṭhāñi gelā''
:'parvata pāra kara āmā'—vinati karilā
:([[CC Madhya 20.17|CC Madhya 20.17]])

Formally there was instead of hotel there was ''sarāi''. In one of the ''sarāis'' he took shelter and he requested him that, "I do not know the way." Because he was coming to Benares from Bengal to Benares. And in the middle he had to pass this . . . (indistinct) . . . area, very hilly tract. So he in a ''sarāi'', he requested the ''sarāi'' keeper that, "Kindly help me to cross this hill I want to go to Benares."

:''sei bhūñāra saṅge haya hāta-gaṇitā''
:([[CC Madhya 20.18|CC Madhya 20.18]])

This ''sarāi'' keeper, they used to keep astrologers and the astrologer would inform him that this newcomer has got such and such money and if you take the information and somehow or other at night the ''sarāi'' keeper would kill or somehow or other take your . . . the money. That was the system at that time.

:''sei bhūñāra saṅge haya hāta-gaṇitā''
:''bhūñāra kāṇe kahe sei jāni' ei kathā''
:([[CC Madhya 20.18|CC Madhya 20.18]])

Now he whispered in his ear, very sadly he said that, "This man has got some money."

:''iṅhāra ṭhāñi suvarṇera aṣṭa mohara haya''
:([[CC Madhya 20.19|CC Madhya 20.19]])

This man has got eight golden coins.

:''śuni' ānandita bhūñā sanātane kaya''
:([[CC Madhya 20.19|CC Madhya 20.19]])

And eight golden coins at that time, even it was a 80 rupees per coin. It means about 600-700 rupees. That same 700 rupees in those days was I think seven lakhs of these days. Because monetary exchange was different. So anyway when he understood that this man has got so much money he was very pleased. Then he said:

:''"rātrye parvata pāra kariba nija-loka diyā''
:''bhojana karaha tumi randhana kariyā"''
:([[CC Madhya 20.20|CC Madhya 20.20]])

"That's all right, I shall help you to cross this field better you now cook and make your food. You take rest at night I shall help you."

:''eta bali' anna dila kariyā sammāna''
:''sanātana āsi' tabe kaila nadī-snāna''
:([[CC Madhya 20.21|CC Madhya 20.21]])

So he was given grains for cooking and Sanātana Gosvāmī took his bath and attempted to cook.

:''dui upavāse kailā randhana-bhojane''
:''rāja-mantrī sanātana vicārilā mane''
:([[CC Madhya 20.22|CC Madhya 20.22]])

So because he was himself also diplomat he was Minister. He was thinking, "Why this man is respect me so nicely and giving me grains? What is the purpose?"

:'''ei bhūñā kene more sammāna karila?''
:''eta cinti' sanātana īśāne puchila''
:([[CC Madhya 20.23|CC Madhya 20.23]])

Īśāna was his servant, he was old servant. So when the master was going he offered, "Sir you are my master now you are leaving this world, you are going away. I must also accompany you." So Sanātana Gosvāmī permitted, "All right if you walk nice you can come with me." So then when the ''braya'' this ''sarāi'' keeper was so, I mean to say, serving in spirit. Eh? Waiting always, how he was cooking, how he was eating, he became very much suspicious. ''Ati bhakti chorer lokhon''.

When he saw that, "It too much devotee what is the purpose of it. I am a new man, I was very respectable to his estimation." Then he asked Īśāna his servant, "Whether you have got some money?" Because he did not bring any money, Sanātana Gosvāmī he left all, without any money. But his servant because he was not advanced. He simply out of sentiment wanted to go with Sanātana Gosvāmī, so as naturally he kept some money with him.

:'' 'tomāra ṭhāñi jāni kichu dravya āchaya' ''
:''īśāna kahe, mora ṭhāñi sāta mohara haya''
:([[CC Madhya 20.24|CC Madhya 20.24]])

He enquired immediately that, "I think that you must have got some money. Will you tell me what you have got?" So Īśāna said: "Yes I have got seven more." He had got eight but now he saw that Sanātana Gosvāmī checked the money. So still he wanted to keep one coin. You see?

:'' 'tomāra ṭhāñi jāni kichu dravya āchaya''
:'' īśāna kahe, mora ṭhāñi sāta mohara haya''
:([[CC Madhya 20.24|CC Madhya 20.24]])

:''śuni' sanātana tāre karilā bhartsana''
:''saṅge kene āniyācha ei kāla-yama?''
:([[CC Madhya 20.25|CC Madhya 20.25]])

"Why you have brought this money? It will be the cause of our being killed. You have brought much money but Yamarāja, so better give me that ''sāta'' whatever you have got. Bring that money, ''sāta'' mohara—seven mohara.

:''tabe sei sāta mohara hastete kariyā''
:''bhūñāra kāche yāñā kahe mohara dhariyā''
:([[CC Madhya 20.26|CC Madhya 20.26]])

Immediately he took that seven golden coins and went to the hotelkeeper, ''sarāi'' keeper. "Sir, I have got this seven coins, please take this and let me go and let me help. Please help me to cross this."

:''"ei sāta suvarṇa mohara āchila āmāra''
:''ihā lañā dharma dekhi' parvata kara pāra''
:([[CC Madhya 20.27|CC Madhya 20.27]])

The last balance in my pocket was this seven ''mohara'', kindly take this money and help me crossing this field.

:''ihā lañā dharma dekhi' parvata kara pāra''
:([[CC Madhya 20.27|CC Madhya 20.27]])

:''rāja-bandīāmi,gada-dvāra yāite nā pāri''
:''puṇya habe,parvata āmā deha pāra kari"''
:([[CC Madhya 20.28|CC Madhya 20.28]])

I am a political prisoner, so I am going away. So I'll not go in the open road therefore I request you that you let me go through this hill.

:''bhūñā hāsi' kahe,āmi jāniyāchi pahile''
:''asta mohara haya tomāra sevaka-āṅcale''
:([[CC Madhya 20.29|CC Madhya 20.29]])

So the ''bhūñāti'', the hotelkeeper said: "No, no I know it is not seven dollars, seven coins, you have got eight. I already known it through my astrologer." So that is . . . just imagine how much intelligent the astrologers were in that time.

:''bhūñā hāsi' kahe,āmi jāniyāchi''
:([[CC Madhya 20.29|CC Madhya 20.29]])

:''tomā māri' mohara la-itāmaājikāra rātrye''
:([[CC Madhya 20.30|CC Madhya 20.30]])

"My decision was that I, I would have killed you and take the eight ''mohara'' coins. That was my desire. But you are so kind and gentlemen that you are so simple. That you are giving the money, delivering the money yourself. So I have been saved for, saved from the sinful activity of killing you."

:''santuṣṭa ha-ilāṅa āmi,mohara nā la-iba''
:''puṇya lāgi' parvata tomā' pāra kari' diba"''
:([[CC Madhya 20.31|CC Madhya 20.31]])

"So I am so much pleased with you. I'll not take your money, I shall help you without any payment. I shall help you to cross the hill."

:''tabe bhūñā gosāñira saṅge''
:''gosāñi kahe,"keha dravya la-ibeāmā māri' ''
:''āmāra prāṇa rakṣā kara dravya aṅgīkari' "''
:([[CC Madhya 20.32|CC Madhya 20.32]])

So will he not take the money but if I go with this money again somebody will again kill me. "Therefore please you take this money and get me out of this."

:''tabe bhūñā gosāñira saṅge cāri pāika dila''
:''rātrye rātrye vana-pathe parvata pāra kaila''
:([[CC Madhya 20.33|CC Madhya 20.33]])

So he took the money, that seven coins and helped him with four men, five. Five what's it called? What is the five?

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: ''Haribhiḥ'' . . . (indistinct) . . . guards! Four guards. He gave him four guards and he was . . . (indistinct) . . . help to cross over the hill.

:''tabe pāra hañā gosāñi puchilāīśāne''
:''"jāni, śeṣa dravya kichu āche tomā sthāne"''
:([[CC Madhya 20.34|CC Madhya 20.34]])

When he was crossed over the hill then he asked his servant Īśāna. "Īśāna I think that still you have got some money, you are so attached with this money." Then Īśāna said: "''eka mohara āche avaśeṣa''—yes I have got one coin still." (laughs)

:''gosāñi kahe, - "mohara lañā yāha tumi deśa"''
:([[CC Madhya 20.35|CC Madhya 20.35]])

"Please take that money and that will help you go back home. Don't come with me." (laughs) "Don't come with me with all those dangerous things." So he was asked to go back home. That means he was not fit because he has got so much attraction. So he was not fit to go with him. So he was asked to go back.

:''tāre vidāya diyā gosāñi calilā ekalā''
:''hāte karoṅyā, chiṅḍā kānthā, nirbhaya ha-ilā''
:([[CC Madhya 20.36|CC Madhya 20.36]])

So ''kopīna kānthāāstikyam'', mendicant. All torn clothes and one Kahera, that wooden pot. Just like you are seeing some of the ''sannyāsīs'' also do that. That is stated by Śrīvāsācārya:

:''tyaktvā tūrṇam aśeṣa-maṇḍala-pati-śreṇīṁ sadā tucchavat ''
:''bhūtvā dīna-gaṇeśakau karuṇayā kaupīna-kanthāśritau ''
:''gopī-bhāva-rasāmṛtābdhi-laharī-kallola-magnau muhur ''
:''vande rūpa-sanātanau raghu-yugau śrī-jīva-gopālakau''
:(''Śrī Śrī Ṣaḍ-gosvāmy-aṣṭaka'' 4)

So this is a prayer for the six Gosvāmīs. In one of the prayers it is stated that, ''tyaktvā tūrṇam aśeṣa-maṇḍala-pati-śreṇīṁ''. These Gosvāmī's they were so aristocratic, so respectable that their friend circle were, ''maṇḍala-pati''. ''Maṇḍala-pati'', means—leaders of the society. Because they were Minister naturally his friend circle were big ''zamindars'', big landholders or big ministers and government officers. So he gave up that society, ''tyaktvā tūrṇam aśeṣa-maṇḍala-pati-śreṇīṁ''.

These are the examples of Vedic culture, not only . . . of course Sanātana Gosvāmī did this say about 500 years ago but there are instances in history of India many big, big Kings. They left their kingdom, just like Bhārata Mahārāja. He was also a very early age, he gave up the kingdom, he was Emperor of the whole world. The whole world was named Bhārata-varṣa. Bhārata Mahārāja. So and, and he had nice young children, young wife and a still he left, Bhārata Mahārāja.

Just like Caitanya Mahāprabhu, He had very beautiful wife, very affectionate mother and He was Himself very influential ''brahmin'' in Navadvīpa, He also left home. The Pāṇḍavas after situating their grandson Mahārāja Parīkṣit, left home. Lord Buddha he was also Prince, he left home. These are the instances of Indian culture that at a certain age they must give up family relations and completely devote for the service of the Lord. That is called ''sannyāsa''. Not that up to the last point of death one should stick to the family life. That has become the practice now. All these ministers unless they are killed, unless they are forced to leave the post, they will not. They will ask for, ''bod, bod, bod, bod, bod''. So how you can expect nice things if the culture is lost? The whole culture is lost.

So Sanātana Gosvāmī, this behavior of the Sanātana Gosvāmī and other Gosvāmī's, ''tyaktvā tūrṇam aśeṣa-maṇḍala-pati-śreṇīṁ sadā tucchavat''. ''Tuccha'' means—without giving any importance. When we, we consider of leaving home we think, "How can I leave my home, how can I leave my relatives, my friends, my house, my furniture." So many things because ''artha cit''.

:''ato gṛha-kṣetra-sutāpta-vittair''
:''janasya moho 'yam ahaṁ mameti''
:([[SB 5.5.8|SB 5.5.8]])

This world, this material world is described. That this material is existing on, only on the basis of sex feeling. ''Puṁsaḥ striyā mithunī-bhāvam etaṁ'' ([[SB 5.5.8|SB 5.5.8]]). This world the material world is going on being attracted. The male is attracted by the female and the female is attracted by the male. That is their basic principle of existence. ''Puṁsaḥ striyā puṁsaḥ striyā mithunī-bhāvam etaṁ tayor mithaṁ hṛdaya-granthim āhuḥ''. And as soon as they combine together sexually then one becomes more and more attached. ''Ato gṛha''-''kṣetra''-''sutāpta''-''vittair'', then gradually after this combination. One wants ''gṛha''—home, ''kṣetra''—some fields because in those days there was no industry. So one must have some sufficient land to produce food.

So ''gṛha''—home, then ''kṣetra''—land, then ''suta''—children, then friends, society. ''Suta'', ''āpta'', ''vittaiḥ''—then money. They are hankering after all these things. As soon as they are combined together the attraction for the material world increases by kṣetra, ''sutā, vittaiḥ, āpta''. In this way he becomes sanctioned, ''ato gṛha-kṣetra-sutāpta-vittair janasya moho 'yam''. This is ''mohaḥ'' because he is wasting time to get all these things although he knows that it is temporary. My business is not temporary, my business is eternal. I am eternal. I am eternal why I am given so much stress in this temporary situation. This is called ignorance, this is called ''māyā''. The human form of life is meant for self-realization.

That we understand from this chapter. How Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Before Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Sanātana Gosvāmī submitted how he enquired. These are very instructive. So we shall discuss partly. Thank you very much.

Dr. Bali and Śrīmate Vijantimalla, ladies and gentlemen. I am very much glad to meet you this evening and to explain to you the purpose of Krishna Consciousness Movement.

This Krishna Consciousness Movement as you understand from the very words. Kṛṣṇa. When I started this movement in USA many friends requested me to incorporate the association as, "God conscious." I denied, I said: "No." Kṛṣṇa consciousness. God consciousness is vague term. And Kṛṣṇa consciousness is directly to understand that Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Absolute Truth appears in three features:

:''brahmeti paramātmeti''
:''bhagavān iti śabdyate''
:([[SB 1.2.11|SB 1.2.11]])

Brahma, impersonal Brahma is the realization at the first stage of knowledge, perfection of knowledge. Not perfection of knowledge, means liberation from ignorance and stepping on the platform of knowledge. That is called Brahma realization. ''Ahaṁ brahmāsmi''. And when one realises Brahma, then his material tribulations immediately stop. That is stated in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'':

:''brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā''
:''na śocati na kāṅkṣati''
:''samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu''
:''mad-bhaktiṁ labhate parām''
:([[BG 18.54 (1972)|BG 18.54]])

So one who is Brahma realized his symptoms should be that he has no more any hankering and no more any lamentation. ''Na śocati na kāṅkṣati''. In this material world we are perturbed with two things. We are desiring for things which we do not possess and we are lamenting for things which are lost. But these two things are the prominent features of material life. Sometimes gaining—sometimes losing. It is not fixed up. If we think that now I have got permanent settlement, I have got so much bank balance and my position in the society is so nice, so everything is settled up. No. It is a tottering platform, any moment it can be finished. Another . . . (indistinct) . . . begins. That is not only true for this life but it continuation of this life. Just like we have got in our front 8,400,000 species of life.

What are these 800.. 8,400,000 species of life? They are different stages of our transmigration from one body to another. Just like even in this present life we are experiencing, transferring . . . transforming or growing from one body to another. Everyone is born a small child but that childhood body is changing to boyhood body or the boyhood body changes into youthhood body. Then old age, then body finished. So anyone, any sane man can understand that although the body is being changed. I am fixed subject. Everyone of us can remember that I was a child. I was a boy, I was a girl, in young age. Now I am old but I am existing although the body is changing therefore it is very, I mean to say, easy to understand. It is not at all difficult, that a body is changing but I am fixed.

:''dehino 'smin yathā dehe''
:''kaumāraṁ yauvanaṁ jarā''
:''tathā dehāntaram-prāptir''
:''dhīras tatra na muhyati''
:([[BG 2.13 (1972)|BG 2.13]])

''Tathā dehāntaram-prāptir''. So we cannot make any permanent settlement in this material world. We have to change therefore it is called ''jagat''. ''Jagat'' means ''gacchati''. Change, always changing. So we should not forget the process of life. Krishna Consciousness Movement is to remind, is to remind the forgetful human society. That you have very much, engaged in your present business but you do not know what is going to happen next. Not only next stage of life but next life. Unfortunately at the present moment people do not know that there is next life. Some of them do not believe, that there is next life. But here in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' it is plainly said, ''dehāntaram-prāptir''. ''Vāsāṁsi jīrṇāni yathā vihāya'' ([[BG 2.22 (1972)|BG 2.22]]), just like we change our dress.

Similarly we change our body. This is the beginning of ''Bhagavad-gītā''. Unfortunately we Indians, we are forgetting the simple teachings of ''Bhagavad-gītā''. That this life is not sold. ''Na jāyate na mriyate na hanyate hanyamāne śarīre'' ([[BG 2.20 (1972)|BG 2.20]]).

I, you, everyone of us. That is very vividly explained in the ''Bhagavad-gītā''. When Kṛṣṇa was on the battlefield and Arjuna was perplexed. Kṛṣṇa said: "My dear Arjuna, you, Me, and all the soldiers and the kings whom you see in your front. It is not that they are not existing in the past. And it is not that they will not exist in the future. So our life is continuation, it is not that this life is the end. So, so, but there is no education about the . . . I mean to say, the eternity of the living entity.

When I was called to lecture in the . . . what is that? Boston there is a technical, technological inst . . .?

Devotee: In Massachusetts.

Prabhupāda: Massachusetts, yes. Massachusetts Technological Institute.

Devotee: MIT.

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Indian guest: MIT.

Prabhupāda: MIT yes. You have been there?

Indian guest: No. We have to go.

Prabhupāda: Ho . . . that's right. So I immediately asked the students that this is a Technological Institute but have you got any technological department in which it is . . . I mean, for lessons that the life is eternal and it is changing? This is a great technology. Unfortunately there is no such university, there is no such institution throughout the whole world which is serious to study about the eternity of the soul. Or to find out what is the living force within the body, still they are very much proud of advancement of education. This is the preliminary knowledge of human life. The animals cannot understand this philosophy but in the human form of life there is facility to understand.

There are so many books of knowledge, Vedic knowledge and our great saints and sages in India they had labored so much to present us the real knowledge and a still, we are neglecting. This is not very good sign, you see? There is a Bengali nice verse in which it is stated that ''ātman dhana vilāya-diye bhikṣā-māge porer-saci''. We are disputed, we have thrown away our own assets, now we are going to beg something for our protection, our ministers, our government, responsible officers are going to the foreign countries to beg for money, beg for rice, beg for wheat, beg for soldiers. But people are thinking that India has nothing to give. But actually India has also something to give and this is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. This contribution of India is very much appreciated in the foreign countries this Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

So the Krishna Consciousness Movement is also very nice. In the sense that we are dealing with Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme, most beautiful personality and his energy Śrīmate Rādhārāṇī. The love exchange between Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī and Kṛṣṇa.

:''rādhā kṛṣṇa-praṇaya-vikṛtir hlādinīśaktir asmād ''
:''ekātmānāv api deha-bhedaṁ gatau tau'' (''bhuvi purā'')
:''caitanyākhyaṁ prakaṭam adhunā tad-dvayaṁ caikyam āptaṁ ''
:''rādhā-bhāva-dyuti-suvalitaṁ'naumi kṛṣṇa-caitanya saṅga''
:([[CC Adi 1.5|CC Ādi 1.5]])

So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is very nice in this sense, that we are dealing with original Kṛṣṇa love affair. Wherefrom this love affair come's—between young boys and girls? Ah, that is explained in the ''Śrīmad Bhāgavatam'' or ''Vedānta sūtra'': ''janmādy jijñāsā''. So Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura has explained that this feelings of love between young boy and girl that is called ''ādi-rāsa''. There are 12 ''rasas''. So this feeling, it may be perverted now in the present conditional stage of life as sex feeling. But this attraction is the original attraction between Kṛṣṇa and Rādhā. Therefore Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī has explained what is the feature of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. Rādhā is the pleasure potency of Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is Parabrahma, so ordinary man in order to understand Brahma. ''Sukham'' or happiness, Brahma happiness. Brahma happiness means, happiness or pleasure which has no end. The material happiness—there is end. That is the distinction between material happiness, material pleasure and spiritual or Brahma pleasure.

:''ramante yogino 'nante''
:''satyānande cid-ātmani''
:''iti rāma-padenāsau''
:''paraṁ brahma ity abhidhīyate''
:(''Śatanāma-stotra'' 8, ''Padma Purāṇa'')

Rāma, Rāma is the spiritual ''Rāmāyaṇa''. So ''yoginaḥ'', those who are ''bhakti yogīs'', those who are devotees. They are called ''yogī's''. So ''ramante'' they also have romance but they have ''raman'' in ''ananta''. Not in the limited but in the unlimited. ''Ramante yoginaḥ anante''. And that is real ''ramante'', that is real pleasure. Anything which is flickering, which is nonpermanent that is not happiness. That is ''māyā''. That is ''māyā'', that is the distinction between ''māyā'' and reality.

So this ''rādhā kṛṣṇa-praṇaya'', loving affairs between Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa originally the Parabrahma, Kṛṣṇa and His pleasure potency Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. So for Brahma realization, big, big saints and saintly persons and sages they give up worldly pleasure. They take ''sannyāsa''. So have Brahma plat . . . to enjoy Brahma pleasure. Now this Kṛṣṇa being the Parabrahma how He can enjoy material happiness? No. That is our mistake. These Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa ''līlā'', enjoyment between Kṛṣṇa and Rādhā is not material. Just try to understand. Because for Brahma pleasure we have to give up everything material and the Parabrahma the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He is Parabrahma, naturally He is not expected to enjoy anything material.

Because to come to the Brahma understanding you have to give up all material pleasures. Now how Kṛṣṇa can enjoy material pleasures? So don't mistake . . . therefore Rādhā Kṛṣṇa ''līlā'' is anything material. But that Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa ''līlā'' has been pervertedly reflected in this material world which is going on as love. But that is not love, that is lust. That is the difference between love and lust. Actually it appears like the same. But one is lust, one is love. How this distinguish? It is distinguished in this way that Kṛṣṇa . . .

:''kṛṣṇendriya-prīti-dhare 'prema' nāma''
:''ātmendriya-prīti-vāñchātāre nāma 'kāma''
:([[CC Adi 4.165|CC Ādi 4.165]])

When there is self-satisfaction or self enjoyment that is called lust. And when there is sense of satisfying Kṛṣṇa that is called love. That is the distinction between love and lust.

The spiritual love of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa because in the ''Vedānta sūtra'' you will find the definition ''janmādy asya yataḥ''. What is Brahma? Brahma, Parabrahma means the Supreme Absolute Truth from Whom or from Which everything emanates. That is called Brahma. Therefore it is to be understood that this feeling of sex feeling between man and woman this is also born of the Absolute Truth. It is not artificial. But it is perverted. Because it is material it is pervertedly represented. Perverted means just like the example is given in the ''Bhagavad-gītā. Ūrdhva-mūlam adho-śākha'' ([[BG 15.1 (1972)|BG 15.1]]).

The, this material world has been explained as a tree which is perverted. Whose root is upwards and the branches downwards. Have you seen any such tree—within your experience? That the root is upwards and the branches are downwards. Perhaps you have not seen but you, some of you might have seen. If you go near a reservoir of water and if there is a tree on the bank you will see that the tree is reflected downwards to branches and upwards to the. That shadow representation of the real shoe . . . real tree is called ''māyā''. Therefore the highest ''rāsa'', Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa is reflected in this world as the lowest.

The Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa attachment is the highest in the spiritual world but that is now reflected as the lowest in this material world. Because it is perverted. But the truth is that this loving propensity is there everywhere. In you, in me, even in the cats and dogs and the animals. Everywhere. And we are trying to divorce this loving affairs from her, but we are being frustrated because it is pervertedly. Ah, repose. Therefore the science is that these natural tendencies to love others should be given to Kṛṣṇa. Then it will be perfect. ''Na te viduḥ svārtha-gatiṁ hi viṣṇu'' ([[SB 7.5.31|SB 7.5.31]]).

Viṣṇu and Kṛṣṇa are the same thing. They do not know that the ultimate goal of life is to revive our original relationship with Kṛṣṇa. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. We are simply trying to awake people to this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Because unless this ultimate aim of life is achieved we remain always dissatisfied and by disatisfaction we create our next ''karma'' life and therefore we get another life, another type of body next life and in this way our life is being . . . (indistinct) . . . in this material existence. Therefore ''Śrīmad Bhāgavatam'' says:

:''nūnaṁ pramattaḥ kurute vikarma''
:''yad indriya-prītaya āpṛṇoti''
:''na sādhu manye yata ātmano 'yam ''
:''asann api kleśada āsa dehaḥ''
:([[SB 5.5.4|SB 5.5.4]])

''Nūnaṁ pramattaḥ''—all people have become mad after sense gratification. And ''kurute vikarma''—and for sense gratification they are acting so many things which are not sanctioned. ''Vikarma'' means—not sanctioned. Just like if you act something which is not sanctioned by the Lord then you are criminal. Similarly there is nature's law, there is God's law if we act against that law that is called ''vikarma''. ''Kurute vikarma''. So therefore Ṛṣabhadeva says: "''Na sādhu manye''," this kind of irresponsible activities is not good.

Because according to our activities we shall get body. Now we have got experience in this body we are suffering so much we are trying to enjoy artificially but actually we are in suffering condition. Anyone who is in this material world beginning from Brahmā down to the worm in the stool, all living entities are suffering. Therefore our main aim of life should be to stop this repetition of birth and death and come to the spiritual life. And as Śrīmate Vijantimalla first of all said. Recited two ''ślokas'':

:''yadā yadā hi dharmasya''
:''glānir bhavati bhārata'' . . .
:''tadātmānaṁ sṛjāmyaham''
:([[BG 4.7 (1972)|BG 4.7]])

Now:

:''paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ''
:''vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām''
:''dharma-saṁsthāpanārthāya''
:''sambhavāmi yuge yuge''
:([[BG 4.8 (1972)|BG 4.8]])

Now this Kṛṣṇa says that, "I appear to establish the principles of religion," ''dharma-saṁsthāpanārthāya''. Now what is that religion? That is explained by Kṛṣṇa at the end of ''Bhagavad-gītā''. What is that?

:''sarva-dharmān parityajya''
:''mām ekaṁśaraṇaṁ vraja''
:([[BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]])

So we have created so many ''dharmas'', Hindu ''dharma'', Moslem ''dharma'', Christian ''dharma'', Buddha ''dharma'', Jain ''dharma'', so many. Hundreds and thousands of ''dharma''. But Kṛṣṇa says that, "''sarva-dharmān parityajya''." Now in the beginning He said that, "''dharma-saṁsthāpanārthāya''—in order to establish the principles of dharma, religion I appear." And at the end He says, "sarva-dharmān parityajya." Therefore the conclusion is that—mām ekaṁśaraṇaṁ vraja. Only surrendering unto the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa is ''dharma'', everything is not ''dharma''. All other ''dharma'' which does not teach either you call Kṛṣṇa or God any ''dharma'' which does not teach you surrendering unto the Supreme Lord that is not ''dharma''. Therefore in the ''Śrīmad Bhāgavatam'' you'll find in the beginning, ''dharmaḥ projjhita-kaitavo 'tra'' ([[SB 1.1.2|SB 1.1.2]]).

In the ''Śrīmad Bhāgavatam''—''kaitavaḥ dharma''—cheating religion is completely thrown away. So we have created so many ''dharmas'', of course it takes very long time to explain each and every item but try to understand the principle. What is the ''dharma''? The ''dharma'' is this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That Kṛṣṇa says: "''mām ekaṁ''—only unto Me." He does not say that whatever you do that is all right. No. He says: "''mām ekaṁ''—only unto Me." Only to become Kṛṣṇa conscious that is ''dharma''. And anything beyond this—that is not ''dharma''. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says, ''sarva-dharmān parityajya''. So our propaganda is you don't remain a Christian or don't remain a Hindu or don't remain a Moslem. You become Kṛṣṇite. Or lover of God then your life is perfect.

:''sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo''
:''yato bhaktir adhokṣaje''
:([[SB 1.2.6|SB 1.2.6]])

That is ''bhāgavata-dharma'', to love God. And because God is everything if you understand how to love God then naturally you love everything. Your love for country, your love for society, your love for family, your love for husband, your love for wife will be perfect when you love Kṛṣṇa. How it is possible? Just like if you simply take care of your stomach, if you supply kindly food's to the stomach automatically your supplying food to the other parts of the body is finished. You haven't got to make separate attempt to supply food to the eyes, or to the ear, or to the hands, or to the legs. You simply supply food to the stomach and energy will be distributed everywhere. Similar . . .

Similarly if you try to love Kṛṣṇa only your love will be distributed to everyone. Why we have come here? A ''sannyāsī'' may not like—but we love everyone. We want that everyone should be Kṛṣṇa conscious. That is our program. It doesn't matter where we are invited but it is our business, it is our duty. We have dedicated our life that we want to see everyone Kṛṣṇa conscious and thereby become happy. That is our mission. And that happiness how it can be attained that is also very easy. Just like the girl ''Sudha''.

(aside) . . . is that right?

Mātājī: Yes.

Prabhupāda: Yes. She chanted, she chanted that, "How I can reach Kṛṣṇa?" She went phut, phut, phut, phut, here. So that eagerness how I shall attain Kṛṣṇa in this life that is . . . (indistinct) . . . the Rūpa Gosvāmī advises:

:''kṛṣṇa-bhakti-rāsa-bhāvitā matiḥ''
:''krīyatāṁ yadi kuto 'pi labhyate''
:([[CC Madhya 8.70|CC Madhya 8.70]], ''Padyāvalī'' 14)

You just try to partake in Kṛṣṇa ''bhakti''. Kṛṣṇa, devotional service of Kṛṣṇa if it is available somewhere. ''Kṛṣṇa-bhakti-rāsa-bhāvitā matiḥ''. ''Matiḥ'' means—consciousness, therefore we have named Kṛṣṇa consciousness. The translation should be ''kṛṣṇa-bhakti-rāsa-bhāvitā matiḥ''. So Rūpa Gosvāmī says that, "If you can purchase this ''kṛṣṇa-bhakti-rāsa'' or Kṛṣṇa consciousness you immediately purchase it." Then what is the value? Because when you go to purchase you have to pay something. So what is that? He says that: ''tatra laulyam ekalaṁ api mūlyam'' ([[CC Madhya 8.70|Cc Madhya 8.70]]).

That we gather, just like meera, how I shall leave Kṛṣṇa, how I shall leave Kṛṣṇa. That madness after Kṛṣṇa, ''agra''. ''Laulyam'', just like we become mad after somebody—if I love. Either a girl or boy how to go there? How to achieve? Similarly the same love when it will be employed in the service of Kṛṣṇa by that price you can purchase Kṛṣṇa consciousness. And.. But that type of eagerness Rūpa Gosvāmī says ''na janma-koṭi-sukṛtair na labhyate'' ([[CC Madhya 8.70|Cc Madhya 8.70]]). That eagerness to achieve Kṛṣṇa is very difficult to gain. Even after many, many births it is not possible to gain. That is also confirmed in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'':

:''bahūnāṁ janmanām ante''
:''jñānavān māṁ prapadyate''
:([[BG 7.19 (1972)|BG 7.19]])

This surrendering unto Kṛṣṇa or Kṛṣṇa consciousness shall be achieved by a man who has perfectly attained knowledge. ''Jñānavān'', not the fools, rascals but ''jñānavān''. Those who have attained real perfect knowledge. Such persons after many, many births, ''māṁ prapadyate''. Surrenders unto Me. How?

:''vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti''
:''sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ''
:([[BG 7.19 (1972)|BG 7.19]])

Because after perfection of knowledge he understands Vāsadeva Kṛṣṇa is the Absolute Truth and is the source of everything. There are many verses in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' that:

:''ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo''
:''mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate''
:''iti matvā bhajante māṁ''
:''budhā bhāva-samanvitāḥ''
:([[BG 10.8 (1972)|BG 10.8]])

''Budhā''. ''Budhā'' means—one who is factually wise. So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement although very difficult to achieve but just like; there are many verses in the ''Bhagavad-gītā''.

:''manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu''
:''kaścid yatati siddhaye''
:''yatatām api siddhānāṁ''
:''kaścin vetti māṁtattvataḥ''
:([[BG 7.3 (1972)|BG 7.3]])

So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness to achieve this consciousness is very difficult undoubtedly. But by the mercy of Kṛṣṇa who appeared as Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. He is Kṛṣṇa Himself. Kṛṣṇa is so kind that although He says in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' that, "You simply surrender unto Me." That people misunderstood. They did not do it. Therefore Kṛṣṇa came again as Lord Caitanya to distribute Kṛṣṇa consciousness how people can easily take this. This is Lord Caitanya's gift and the process is very simple. The process is:

:''harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam''
:''kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva nāsty eva gatir anyathā''
:([[CC Adi 17.21|CC Ādi 17.21]])

Simply by chanting this Hare Krishna ''mantra''. That we are teaching.

:''Hare Kṛṣṇa,Hare Kṛṣṇa''
:''Krsna Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare''
:''Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma''
:''Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare''

So our request is to everyone, all the boys and girls and ladies and gentlemen who are present. That you may remain engaged in your respective business. It doesn't matter. But you chant this ''mantra'': Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Krsna Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare. Then your life will be successful. In whatever position you may remain, it doesn't matter. Simply you take up this ''mahā-mantra'' and chant it. There is no expenditure, there is no loss but the gain is great, very great. You will get Kṛṣṇa. You see? So don't lose this opportunity. The human life, you don't think that you have, you have got this life, you are now enjoying life. This is no. At any moment there could be a flash of light, any moment it will be finished. But so long you have got this opportunity try to understand Kṛṣṇa. That is the success of life.

It doesn't matter whatever occupation you have. That doesn't matter. Just like Arjuna. Arjuna was not a Vedantist, neither a ''brāhmin'' nor a ''sannyāsī''. He was householder. And he was a politician, so many things. He had no time to understand ''Vedānta''. ''Vedānta'' is meant for the ''brāhmins'', but he was not a ''brāhmin'', he was ''kṣatriya'' always busy in politics. But still he attained perfection simply by making friendship with Kṛṣṇa and understanding ''Bhagavad-gītā''. You see? So there are nine different, I mean to say, procedure or process for executing devotional service.

:''śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ''
:''smaraṇaṁ pāda-sevanam''
:''arcanaṁ vandanaṁ dāsyaṁ''
:''sakhyam ātma-nivedanam''
:([[SB 7.5.23-24|SB 7.5.23]])

So Arjuna got perfection by making friendship with Kṛṣṇa. ''Sakhyam''. So all of you should begin this Kṛṣṇa consciousness simply by hearing. ''Śravaṇaṁ''. Just like you are kindly hearing me. So you can hear every day, you can sit down with your friends, with your family members and chant Hare Krishna and read some ''ślokas'' from ''Bhagavad-gītā''. Just see how your life become sublime and happy. So we are teaching that. And we have published many books or magazines so you can take advantage of these books also. Pure Kṛṣṇa consciousness we don't deal with any other. Simply how one can become elevated to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, that is our movement.

We have got dozens of big, big books and we are reaching every month in different languages, this ''Back To Godhead.'' English, French, German, Japanese, Hindi and we are now going to publish in Bengali also. So gradually we shall give in all languages. So our attempt is there and we have got very good assistance, very good workers. You also cooperate with us. Your life will be sublime. Please cooperate with this movement. Try to understand this movement and you have got this human form of life so don't waste it for nothing. You will remain . . . Kṛṣṇa. Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu never says that you give up your profession or occupation. No. ''Sthāne sthitāḥśruti-gatāṁ tanu-vāṅ-manobhir'' ([[SB 10.14.3|SB 10.14.3]]).

Simply you apply your body, your mind, ''tanu-vāṅ-mano'', a mind and your words for spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That will give you very immediate effect, ''ye prāyaśo 'jita jito 'py asi''. God is never conquerable but anyone who employs his mind, words and body for the service of God, Kṛṣṇa. He, Kṛṣṇa becomes defeated by such devotee. To such devotee, Kṛṣṇa comes within the . . . I mean to say, hand. ''Vedeṣu durlabham adurlabham ātma-bhaktau''. ''Vedeṣu''—you cannot understand Kṛṣṇa simply by studying Vedic literature. Although all the ''Vedas'' aims at Kṛṣṇa consciousness understanding. ''Vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyam'' ([[BG 15.15 (1972)|BG 15.15]]), Kṛṣṇa says.

The purpose of Vedic knowledge is to understand Kṛṣṇa. Therefore after many, many births of studying Vedic literature and becoming perfectly wise, one surrenders unto Kṛṣṇa, which He advises at the last verse of ''Bhagavad-gītā''.

:''sarva-dharmān parityajya''
:''mām ekaṁśaraṇaṁ vraja''
:([[BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]])

So don't wait for many, many births. You have got this opportunity. We are trying to help you—take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness and make your life perfect.

Thank you very much . . . Hare Kṛṣṇa.

Devotee: All glories to Prabhupāda. (end)

Prabhupāda: (sings)

:''viprād dvi-ṣaḍ-guṇa-yutād aravinda-nābha-''
:''pādāravinda-vimukhāt śvapacaṁ variṣṭham''
:''manye tad-arpita-mano-vacanehitārtha-''
:''prāṇaṁ punāti sa kulaṁ na tu bhūrimānaḥ''
:([[SB 7.9.10]])

:''naivātmanaḥ prabhur ayaṁ nija-lābha-pūrṇo''
:''mānaṁ janād aviduṣaḥ karuṇo vṛṇīte''
:''yad yaj jano bhagavate vidadhīta mānaṁ''
:''tac cātmane prati-mukhasya yathā mukha-śrīḥ''
:([[SB 7.9.11]])

In the last meeting, we have discussed that a person in devotional service, even though born of a very low family who are eating dogs’ flesh, he is better than a qualified ''brahmin'' who is not a devotee of the Lord. The only disqualification—that he is not a devotee of the Lord—that makes everything null and void. ''Harāv abhaktasya kuto mahad-guṇāh'' ([[SB 5.18.12]]).

The ''Bhāgavata'' school does not give any credit for all material acquisitions. Simply they say it is simply a waste of time. ''Śrama eva hi kevalam'' ([[SB 1.2.8]]). If by your worldly acquisition, if by your religious principles, if you are becoming very highly thoughtful man of character—all good qualifications materially estimated—but if your aptitude is not Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then ''Bhāgavata'' says ''śrama eva hi kevalam'', it is simply laboring, that’s all.

:''dharmaḥ svanuṣṭhitaḥ puṁsāṁ''
:''viṣvaksena-kathāsu yaḥ''
:''notpādayed yadi ratiṁ''
:''śrama eva hi kevalam''
:([[SB 1.2.8]])

''Śrama'' means "labor" and ''kevalam'' means "only." ''Dharmaḥ svanuṣṭhitaḥ puṁsāṁ'': everyone has got some particular type of duty. I’m not speaking of those who are not following the Vedic prin . . . duty means to follow the duty enjoined by the scriptures. That is called duty.

Duty, you cannot make anything, manufacturing duty that, "This is my duty." No. Duty means it is authorized. So according to Vedic principle, everyone has some authorized duty. The classification is ''brahmin'', ''kṣatriya'', ''vaiśya'', ''śūdra''. They are followers of the enjoined duties. Others, they are called pañcama; they are out of this core.

So even those who are following the duties—''brahmin'''s duty, ''kṣatriya''’s duty, ''vaiśya''’s duties, ''śūdra''’s duty . . . the more you come lower, the duty’s charge becomes smaller. Just like the ''brahmin'', they have to qualify in twelve kinds of qualifications. The ''kṣatriyas'', they have to qualify themselves in seven kinds of qualifications. The ''vaiśyas'', they have to qualify themselves in three kinds of qualifications. And the ''śūdras'', they have to qualify themselves in one, that’s all. What is that one? Simply to serve the master faithfully. That’s all. ''Paricaryātmakaṁ karma śūdrasyāpi svabhāva-jam'' ([[BG 18.44 (1972)|BG 18.44]]).

A ''śūdra'' means one who is simply to satisfy the master. He cannot live independently. He must seek out. Just like a dog: a dog’s living independently means it is a street dog; there is no comfort. A street dog has no comfort. The cats and dogs, they find out some shelter. Just like this cat (chuckles), Govinda dāsī's cat. As soon as Govinda dāsī comes out, immediately she comes on the feet, "My dear mother, please keep me on your feet." So that is fortunate, she has selected . . . it has selected a Vaiṣṇavī, so it will have some good affect. But if the selection is wrong . . .

So our Vaiṣṇava principle is we have to qualify ourselves, just like cats and dog. But we are not going to serve the ordinary person. Kṛṣṇa and His representative—then his life is perfect. ''Kalau śūdra sambhava''. In this age, everyone is practically a ''śūdra'' seeking a master. But let him seek a master. Kṛṣṇa is prepared. He says, ''sarva-dharmān parityaja mām ekaṁ'' ([[BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]])

"Just accept Me as your master." The master is ready. If we accept this master, then our life is successful. Even though you are now in ''śūdras'', but don’t make mistake to find out a master who is a nonsense. Then life is spoiled.

So Prahlāda Mahārāja says, ''śvapacaṁ variṣṭham''—because one has dedicated his life . . . because without dedication one’s life to the transcendental loving service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, all other qualification, material qualification they are acquiring, they are simply laboring hard. That’s all.

There is no benefit. As soon as this body is finished, whatever I acquired by my material qualification, that is all finished. But if we have got a tinge of spiritual qualification, that will go with you, because you are spirit soul, you are eternal. Therefore whatever spiritual activities you do, that is also eternal.

Now the question is that does it mean that Kṛṣṇa is hankering after your service? We are advising everyone, "Just become a servant of Kṛṣṇa or His representative." Kṛṣṇa and His representative is identity . . . identical. That is explained in the ''Guruvaṣṭakam'': ''saṁsāra-dāvānala-līḍha'' (''Śrī Śrī Gurv-aṣṭaka'' 1).

You chant these songs, in the last verse that is ''sākṣād-dharitvena samasta-śāstrair''. The representative of Kṛṣṇa is not different from Him. That is the way of dealing, even in the material field. Anyone’s representative is as good as the proprietor. Even our ordinary canvasser, he comes to book some order from you, but as soon as he signs on behalf of such-and-such company, then the company is responsible for his signature, because he is representative.

Even if he has transacted some business at a loss, the company has to bear it. Even if there is no profit, the company cannot refuse the contract, because it has been signed by a representative. Is it not a fact? What do you think? This business—this is business dealing. As soon as a man signs for such-and-such company, it doesn’t matter.

Just like representative, ordinary policeman, he comes with a paper, "Here is a warrant for you. You have to go immediately." What does the . . . (indistinct) . . . say: "What you are? You are non-significant." No. He’s the representative of government—therefore you have to abide by his rule, abide by his order.

So in the material world also, the representative’s value is there. Similarly, ''sākṣād-dharitvena samasta'': the spiritual master is representative of Kṛṣṇa. And Viśvanātha Cakravārtī advises that in all the scriptures it is stated that spiritual master is identical with the Supreme Lord. ''Sākṣād-dharitvena''. ''Sākṣād'' means "exactly the same." ''Sākṣād''. Not that indirect. ''Sākṣād'' means "directly," just like face to face.

If you see the representative of Kṛṣṇa, that means you are seeing Kṛṣṇa. Because you have to see Kṛṣṇa through that representative; otherwise there is no seeing Kṛṣṇa. He is the transparent via media. Everyone has no idea what is Kṛṣṇa. And because the representative of Kṛṣṇa induces one to see Kṛṣṇa and gives his knowledge and intelligence and tactics how to see Kṛṣṇa, therefore he is as good as Kṛṣṇa. That is the verdict of all ''śāstras''. ''Sākṣād-dharitvena samasta-śāstrair''. ''Samasta'' means "all," and śāstra means "scripture."

''Śāstra''—Vedic literature, authorized literature. That is the verdict. ''Kintu prabhor yaḥ'': but it does not mean, not like the Māyāvādī . . . the Māyāvādī, they present he is Kṛṣṇa. But the Vaiṣṇava, spiritual master, he does not say that, "I am Kṛṣṇa." He says, "I am humble servant of Kṛṣṇa." That is his position: ''kintu''. But the servant, why he is as good as Kṛṣṇa? Because he is the most confidential servant. Therefore he is as good as Kṛṣṇa.

So here the question is that a disciple, a follower, is advised to serve Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is far away. His representative . . . just like cats and dogs. ''Vaiṣṇava ṭhākura tomāra kukura baliyā jānaha more''. Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has written one song, ''Vaiṣṇava Ṭhākura''. A spiritual master, or a Vaiṣṇava, is called ''ṭhākura''. Just like we say "Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura." ''Ṭhākura'' means "as good as God." ''Ṭhākura''. Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura.

So Vaiṣṇava who is actually representative of Kṛṣṇa, he is also ''ṭhākura''. "Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura," we say. "Baladeva Vidyābhūṣana Ṭhākura." All the big Vaiṣṇavas, those who are representatives of Kṛṣṇa, they are called ''ṭhākura''. So ''vaiṣṇava ṭhākura tomāra kukura''. Vaiṣṇava . . . Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura is addressing, "My dear Vaiṣṇava, devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa, you are ''ṭhākura''. You are as good as Kṛṣṇa. So you accept me," ''tomāra kukura'', "you accept me as your dog."

So he has sung a very lengthy song, ''tomāra kukura baliyā jānaha more'': "So please accept me as your dog." Then he describes, as a dog watches the door, no outsiders are allowed to come in. So he says: "I shall always watch your door. I shall not allow any non devotee to enter your house." He is saying like that. "And for my food, whatever remnants of food you throw me, I shall be satisfied with that." In this way he has presented himself as a dog to the devotee.

So why this instruction? Does the Vaiṣṇava require a dog, or Kṛṣṇa require any servant? This verse says that ''naivātmanaḥ prabhur ayaṁ nija-lābha-pūrṇo''. The Lord, Prabhu, or His representative, He does not require any service. He does not require any service. Then what is the use of offering myself as a dog, as a servant? He’s not need of a dog or a servant. ''Nija-lābha-pūrṇo''.

''Nija'' means "own"; ''lābha'', ''lābha'' means "gain." ''Pūrṇo''. ''Pūrṇo'' means "fully." He has, Kṛṣṇa . . . Kṛṣṇa is full Himself, ''ṣaḍ-aiśvarya-pūrṇa.'' ''Pūrṇa'' means "complete." He is full of all opulences. Nobody is richer than Him; nobody is reputed than Him; nobody is powerful than Him; nobody is beautiful than Him; nobody is learned than Him; nobody is renouncer than Him. Just see. Kṛṣṇa has created . . . God created this world. But God does not come here; He has got His own place—kingdom of God.

Just see, renouncer. "You do whatever you like. You take. Enjoy. You want to enjoy? You want to become God? You want to imitate? All right, take this world, material world, and do whatever you like." Who can be renouncer than Him? If you construct a small building, "Hah, it is my building. No trespasser allowed."

Just see how Kṛṣṇa is renouncer. God created . . . God is . . . nobody is more renouncer than God, Kṛṣṇa. So how we can become . . . how we can satisfy Him by becoming His dog or servant? He can create millions of servants like you. Why He has . . . shall be anxious to accept you, a fourth-class servant? Not even fourth-class—no classification.

So here it is said ''prabhur ayaṁ''. ''Prabhur''. Kṛṣṇa—''nija-lābha-pūrṇo''. He is complete in Himself. There is no need of any service for Him. Otherwise, unless He is complete, how He can be God? Similarly, the question is raised, "All right, if Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is complete, that’s accepted. So how His representative is complete? So he requires some servant, or dog." No.

He is also complete. How he is complete? Because the Complete is his property. Kṛṣṇa is his property, therefore he is also complete. Just like the father is very rich man, and the little son, he is not rich man. But because he is rich man’s son, therefore he is rich man. Automatically. ''Yaṁ labdhvā cāparaṁ lābhaṁ manyate nādhikaṁ tataḥ'' ([[BG 6.20-23 (1972)|BG 6.22]]).

The ''Bhagavad-gītā'', it will point that if you can achieve Kṛṣṇa . . . how you can achieve Kṛṣṇa? Kṛṣṇa does not require any service from you but the love. If you can achieve Kṛṣṇa, then you will feel that "I don’t require anything more." ''Yaṁ labdhvā'': by gaining which a person thinks, "Complete, full."

Dhruva Mahārāja said when he saw Viṣṇu, he says, ''svāmin kṛtārtho ’smi varaṁ na yāce'' ([[CC Madhya 22.42]])

"My dear Lord, my all desires and demands are now fulfilled. I don’t want anything." This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. If actually one becomes Kṛṣṇa conscious, he has no more demand for anything material. Not by becoming Kṛṣṇa conscious, even by coming to the spiritual light one can become like that. ''Brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā'' ([[BG 18.54 (1972)|BG 18.54]])

As soon as one realizes his self, immediately he becomes joyful. So long there is demand for our sense gratification, you cannot be joyful. So ''nija-lābha-pūrṇo''. ''Tad ekam danadi apramena samanan prakrtaiva bhagavan apityata nitiya'' (Śrīdhara Svāmī commentary). So this verse says "No."

Just like in the material sense, if I got immense wealth, if I’ve got immense manpower—many servants, many children, many followers, many houses, many bank balances, much bank balance, all these things—so that is a kind of so-called satisfaction. So does Kṛṣṇa and His devotee require these kind of satisfaction by possessing more?

This says, this verse says: "No, it is not that." Kṛṣṇa and His representative is not trying to possess more, just like ordinary man. You cannot say it like this. ''Tad ekam danadi apramena samanan prakrta'' (Śrīdhara Svāmī commentary).

Here in the material world they want to acquire riches and manpower. That is material desire, fulfillment of material desire. Does it mean that Kṛṣṇa and His devotee or His representative is like that, desiring to fulfill some material ambition by getting money and men? This verse says "No it is not that." ''Tad ekam danadi apramena samanan prakrtaiva bhagavan apityata'' (Śrīdhara Svāmī commentary).

The Lord, does He, I mean to say, wait, or does He depend upon such material acquisition, therefore He is canvassing that "You surrender unto Me, you follow Me," so that another addition of servant He gets? No. It is not like that. Try to understand this. ''Ahara prabhu isvara avidusa avakad janat manam pujan'', ''atmana arthena vinite nechate''. ''Yatha niva larva neva purna'' (Śrīdhara Svāmī commentary).

The Supreme Personality of Godhead does not require any service. He is already satisfied by His own opulence. ''Tad ekin puja nechetati eva tatra karuna krpalu ata brinate ca'', ''tattva itur jagajad iti''. ''Janjan manam jadvar jasmad jarineda janadi na bhagavate manam bhidavita'', ''kaveva atmane bhavati nainat jatha mukhe krpaiva tilokada sri sobha, prativinda suhotri natu saksad ta saiva kartun sakrti talva'' (Śrīdhara Svāmī commentary).

Prahlāda Mahārāja says that, "He demands your surrender, your service or your wealth—’You give Me everything.’ It is for your benefit. He is full." Just like a small example—suppose a bank advertises that "You deposit your money; we give you five percent." So does it mean the bank has got less money and is trying to get your money to fulfill? No.

The bank has immense money. But if you deposit some money in the bank, then your money is protected, and you get nice interest. The bank is not poverty-stricken. Don’t think . . . I’m just giving a crude example. Similarly, by serving Kṛṣṇa you will be benefited. Therefore it is said, ''mānaṁ janād aviduṣaḥ''.

People do not know. ''Aviduṣaḥ''. ''Aviduṣaḥ'' means they are fools. They are thinking that, "Why shall I become servant of God? Why shall I become dog of God?" But he will become very willingly a dog of a third-class man. Therefore he is ''aviduṣaḥ''. ''Aviduṣaḥ'' means "fool," "rascal." He will agree to become a dog, a servant, of a fourth-class man, third-class man and nonsense.

But as soon as we shall say that: "You become servant of Kṛṣṇa, dog of Kṛṣṇa," he will protest, "Oh, why shall I become? I am God. Just see. I am Kṛṣṇa." Just see the fun. (laughs) Therefore ''aviduṣaḥ''. ''Aviduṣaḥ'' means "rascal," "fool."

So ''mānaṁ janād aviduṣaḥ karuṇo vṛṇīte''. So when Kṛṣṇa says that "You surrender unto Me," it is His mercy. Out of His mercy He is asking that, "This will be good for you. You are servant of God, you are dog of . . . you are servant of ''māyā'', dog of ''māyā'', servant of nonsense, dog of nonsense. You just become My dog, My servant. That will be good for you." And He gives assurance also, ''ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣayiṣyāmi'' ([[BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]])

"I shall give you protection from all sinful reaction." Suppose I am servant of a third-class nonsense. When he asks me something to do which is abominable, which I should not do, but in order to keep my service there I have to do it, and it is sinful. But from the reaction of sinful activities, he cannot give me protection. I will have to suffer.

Therefore one who is intelligent, he can understand that ''kāmAdināṁ katidhā na katidhā palita durnideṣaḥ'' (Brs. 3.2.25, quoted in [[CC Madhya 22.16]])

"I have served throughout my whole life . . ." Serving means . . . actually I am serving not any master. I don’t like that master. I don’t wish to serve, because I know he is third-class, fourth-class man. But I am serving my lust. I think that, "By serving this man I shall get some money, so I shall be able to satisfy my senses."

So therefore I am not serving, because I am not inclined to serve him, but because I am serving his money. So ''kāmādināṁ katidhā na katidhā palita durnideṣaḥ'' (Brs. 3.2.25):

"Therefore to serve my lust, I have done so many abominable things. But in spite of doing that," ''teṣāṁ na karuṇā na mayi jatā'', "I have served the lust," ''kāmādināṁ''. ''Kāmādināṁ'' means not only lust—lust, anger, avarice, envy, so many things. "So I have served, throughout my whole life, but unfortunately still they are not kind to me. They are not kind to me."

One man is serving the dictation of his senses. Even if he is old, just going to die, still he is after that sense gratification. He knows that this drinking habit is not good. Nobody will say, any of his son, that "You become a drunkard like me, debauch like me," because he knows. But he cannot give it up. This is the material position. ''Kāmādināṁ katidhā na katidhā palita durnideṣaḥ''. Always dictating.

So one who has got this sense, that "I am serving ''māyā''. I am serving illusion. So Kṛṣṇa is demanding from me service; why not serve Kṛṣṇa?" this is intelligence. So ''aviduṣaḥ karuṇo vṛṇīte'' ([[SB 7.9.11]]). Then other thing is that I can see . . . suppose I am serving somebody in the material sense. So I am getting some money. But what I am getting if I serve Kṛṣṇa and God? I am not getting even money. It is simply I am wasting my energy. No. It says, ''yad yaj jano bhagavate vidadhīta mānaṁ''.

The service rendered unto Kṛṣṇa, ''tac cātmane''. If you are serving Kṛṣṇa, that means you are actually serving yourself. The same example: the hands and legs, they are serving the stomach–you see, whole day working, and the food is moving. The hand is preparing food and the brain is working, everyone. But after the preparation of food the stomach is sitting idly, and you offer it.

The stomach is doing nothing, but the other limbs of the body, they are working all day and night. But when the actual foodstuff is prepared, it is to be given to the stomach. You see? So why? Why it should be done? Not . . . the ''Bhāgavata'' says that if you do that, that is your welfare. That is your welfare. Whatever you give to Kṛṣṇa, that is your . . . that is your beauty, that is your . . . everything that comes to . . .

The example, example is here given that, ''tac cātmane prati-mukhasya yathā mukha-śrīḥ'' ([[SB 7.9.11]]). ''Prati-mukhasya''. Suppose if you decorating your face . . . suppose Kṛṣṇa is the face, and you decorate Kṛṣṇa, this face—but you cannot see the beauty of the face. The eyes are there in the face, but you cannot see how much beautiful it is decorated. But you stand before a mirror, and the face reflected in the mirror, you see all the beauty. So we are, man is made after God. You see?

We are just like reflection of God. So as in the mirror the reflection you can see the beauty, similarly by serving God you serve your society, you serve your country, you serve yourself—everything. This is the secret. By serving God, nobody is loser. He serves himself, he serves his country, he serves his family, he serves the human society, he serves the living entity—everyone. The same principle: when the stomach is satisfied, all the limbs of the body are satisfied. When the water is poured on the root of the tree, all the branches and fruits and flowers, they are automatically nourished.

This is the secret of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, that to become Kṛṣṇa conscious, to become dog of Kṛṣṇa, servant of Kṛṣṇa, means you are philanthropist, you are national, you are altruistic—so many good qualifications. You are universal brotherhood . . . there are big, big words all—but all these things can be achieved in one stroke by simply becoming Kṛṣṇa conscious. You become good member of your family, you become good citizen, you become good, I mean to say, yourself. You become humanitarian, you become philanthropic, altruistic—everything.

Just take one example, take any devotee, how he’s full in all these qualifications. He is a good member of the family, he is a good citizen, he is a good philanthropy, he is a good altruistic—everything. ''Sarvair guṇais tatra samāsate surāḥ'' ([[SB 5.18.12]]).

As soon as one becomes Kṛṣṇa consciousness, all these good qualities will develop in him. Therefore the very good example, that ''tac cātmane prati-mukhasya yathā mukha-śrīḥ''. ''Mukha-śrīḥ'', the beauty of the face after decoration, the face cannot see immediately. But it is reflected; it can be seen in the reflection. So if people accept this philosophy of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then the reflection—the world is the reflection; this material world is the reflection of the spiritual world—everything will be satisfactory, everything will be peaceful, everything will be glorious.

:''tasmād ahaṁ vigata-viklava īśvarasya''
:''sarvātmanā mahi gṛṇāmi yathā manīṣam''
:''nīco ’jayā guṇa-visargam anupraviṣṭaḥ''
:''pūyeta yena hi pumān anuvarṇitena''
:([[SB 7.9.12]])

''Tasmād ahaṁ''. Therefore, if the process is like that, if one understands fully that by simply serving Kṛṣṇa, simply becoming Kṛṣṇa conscious, I become fully qualified in everything, then why not accept it?

So Prahlāda Mahārāja says, ''tasmād evaṁ'', because it is like that. ''Tasmād evaṁ bhagavan bhakti eva tucchyati'' (Śrīdhara Svāmī commentary). So simply by discharging devotional service in Kṛṣṇa consciousness everything can be achieved; then what shall I do? ''Tasmād ahaṁ nīco ’pi''.

"I know that I am disqualified in every respect. I am born of a demon father. I cannot give any good representation of my family, my father. And I am also a little boy, which I . . . I am not educated. I never studied ''Vedānta'', how to please God, how to understand. Never studied philosophy. So I am disqualified by birth, by age, by education and everything." ''Nīco''. "In everything I am lower."

That is the temperament of a Vaiṣṇava. Vaiṣṇava never thinks, "Oh, I am this, I am that." Prahlāda Mahārāja, just see how much qualified he is, but he is thinking himself ''nīca''. ''Nīca'' means the most downtrodden, the most fallen. Just like Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura, he is singing:

:''patita-pāvana-hetu tava avatāra''
:''mo sama patita prabhu nā pāibe āra''
:(''Prārthanā'' 39)

"My dear Lord Caitanya, You have appeared to deliver the fallen souls, but please note that You will find no degraded fallen souls more than me. I am the last. If You are finding out the fallen souls, my number is the last. So therefore kindly accept me. And then from the opposite side, because You have come to claim the fallen souls, thus from the opposite side my number is first. Please accept me."

So this is the Vaiṣṇava mentality. Here Prahlāda Mahārāja says that, "I am ''nīca''. I am fallen. I am the lowest. I have no good qualifications, no good parentage, nothing of this sort. Then how can I serve Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme? But the only hope is that, that whatever I do, that is good for me." So even if I do a little, that little is good for me.

There is no question of disappointment. He doesn’t require any service from me. But whatever little service I can render, that is for my good. So there is no question of loss. ''Tasmad evam bhagavan bhakti eva tucchyati'', ''tasmād ahaṁ nīco ’pi vigata viklava''. (Śrīdhara Svāmī commentary). "Therefore I should not hesitate."

Nobody should hesitate. Prahlāda Mahārāja is giving us this assurance, that to serve Kṛṣṇa, there is no question of hesitation. There is no question that I am lower, I am uneducated, I am born of this family or that family, or I am black or white or this or that. There is no question of disqualification. In whatever position you are, you can render service to Kṛṣṇa.

I . . . my Guru Mahārāja therefore always instructed that it is not necessary that you have to qualify yourself for serving Kṛṣṇa. Whatever qualification you have already got, that is sufficient to come to the platform of service. That’s all. You don’t require any extra qualifications. But what extra qualifications?

So if somebody thinks, "Let me qualify like this, then I shall be able to serve Kṛṣṇa better," no, that’s a wrong philosophy. Whatever qualification you have acquired already, you begin Kṛṣṇa service, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, immediately, so that even a little bit done towards service you are gainer. ''Vigata-viklava gata sankha''. Do not be doubtful, that "I am not qualified, so I cannot serve. My service will not be accepted."

No. ''Sa karmaṇā tama vācā''. In the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' also it is said that whatever qualification and whatever asset you have got, just immediately engage to Kṛṣṇa’s service. And whatever you do, little, that is your asset. ''Vigata-viklava īśvarasya mahi'': "So let me glorify."

We started this ''Back to Godhead'' so that our students may write in this paper whatever realization he has got. It doesn’t matter. I have sent therefore one article written by Vīrabhadra, you see, for publication here. One must express his feelings of service. Actually I have started this ''Back to Godhead'' for this purpose. Not that I want to discuss huge, complicated philosophical thesis. We don’t care for that.

One must express how he is feeling, or being employed, in the service of the Lord, without any doubt. And as soon as one becomes Kṛṣṇa conscious, he becomes poetic also. That is another qualification. A Vaiṣṇava, a devotee, develops twenty-six kinds of qualification, simply by service of Kṛṣṇa. Out of that, one qualification is that he becomes poetic. So, ''maima amsa sarva pratatnena'' (Śrīdhara Svāmī commentary).

So we simply . . . if we simply try to explain how Kṛṣṇa is great, how God is great, that is sufficient service. That is complete service: ''śravaṇaṁ kīrtana''. If you simply go to the people, "Oh, you are denying God. Don’t do this. God is very great. God is supplying you food. God has created this world. God is feeding everyone," simply these two things we should speak to the people, by writing or speaking—you are rendering great service.

Without any education, without any qualification—you simply just . . . actually this is the fact. This is the fact. Everything is property of Kṛṣṇa, of God. Everything is supplied by Kṛṣṇa. You are living at the cost of Kṛṣṇa. Your body is given by Kṛṣṇa. In this way, we simply chant and preach like this, we are rendering service. Is it very difficult? Anyone can do. There is no need of qualification—either go to Japan or Honolulu or this or that. Everyone is man; everywhere you can say this. So just engage yourself in Kṛṣṇa’s service. That is good for you.

That’s all. Thank you. (devotees offer obeisances)

So is it very difficult to be a preacher? You are going to be preacher, going to Japan? Do you think it is difficult? It is difficult? Simply say like this—you see—that "God is great." Don’t be puffed up that you are great, you are all-powerful, you have got . . . give up these foolish ideas. "God is great. He has created this world. He is giving you food, He has given you body." Just simply try to convince them, these principles, and you become a preacher.

So is there any question? Just try to understand. This is our philosophy, Kṛṣṇa consciousness preaching. You don’t require any high type of philosophical speculation or this or this ''ism'', that ''ism'', that ''ism''—no. Simple truth. That’s all. Just try to glorify the Supreme Lord, the great. That’s all. And whatever capacity you have got—not that you have to qualify yourself in this way.

It is very nice to preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness. When I was first in Boston, I was thinking on the ship that, "I have come to preach here Kṛṣṇa consciousness. I see these people are so much addicted to so many nonsense things. How I shall convince them? What shall I tell them? (chuckles) How they will understand me? It is a complete different culture, completely" I was thinking like that.

"Anyway, when Kṛṣṇa has sent me, let me try; otherwise I shall go back." Yes. Actually I was thinking like that. I never thought that so many boys and girls will understand me and work with me. From the very beginning I was thinking that, "It is impossible, because their mode of living, their mode of culture—everything is different. And I have brought Kṛṣṇa consciousness. I will have to say, ’You don’t take meat, you don’t take intoxication, don’t have illicit sex.’ How they will be able to do that?" I was thinking. But by Kṛṣṇa’s grace everything is possible. That is my practical experience.

So we have to work very sincerely, keeping our faith in Kṛṣṇa. Do this preaching work—it is not difficult—and be happy. And whatever service you render to Kṛṣṇa, that becomes your permanent asset, permanent bank balance, never to be spoiled. Such nice thing.

If you have any question, you can ask me, or chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Any question? No. Gaurasundara, you have no question? Govinda dāsī?

Govinda dāsī: You said that . . . (cut) (end)

(''prema-dhvani'') (break)

Prabhupāda: Page? Go on.

Madhudviṣa: (reading) Chapter Four, "Transcendental Knowledge." Verse twenty-six. "Some of them sacrifice the hearing process and the senses in the fire of the controlled mind, and others sacrifice the objects of the senses, such as sound, in the fire of sacrifice."

Purport: "The four divisions of human life, namely the ''brahmacārī'', the ''gṛhastha'', the ''vānaprastha'' and the ''sannyāsī'', are all meant to help men to become perfect ''yogīs'', or transcendentalists. Since human life is not meant for our enjoying sense gratification like the animals, the four orders of human life are fixed so that one may become perfect in spiritual life."

"The ''brahmacārīs'', or students under the care of a bona fide spiritual master, control the mind by abstaining from sense gratification. Furthermore, a ''brahmacārī'' hears only words concerning Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Hearing is the basic principle for understanding, and therefore the pure ''brahmacārī'' engages fully in chanting and hearing the glories of the Lord . . ."

Prabhupāda: ''Brahmacārī'' . . . ''brahmacārī'' means ''brahmacārati iti brahmacārī''. Brahma means the Supreme Absolute Personality of Godhead, and ''cārati'', "executes." ''Cārati'', ''brahmacārati'', ''brahmacārī''. In Sanskrit, every word has got root meaning. Brahma means the Supreme Absolute Truth, and ''cāra'' means one who executes, ''cārati''. So one who's life is completely devoted simply to execute the function of the Supreme Absolute Truth, he is called ''brahmacārī''.

''Gṛhastha'', ''gṛhastha'' means . . . ''gṛha'' means home; home means wife. ''Na gṛhaṁ gṛham ity ucate'' ([[CC Adi 15.27]]).

What is the difference between ''sannyāsī''—we are ''sannyāsī''—and ''gṛhastha''? ''Gṛha'' means home. Home means wife. One who lives with his wife to execute Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he is called ''gṛhastha''. ''Āśrama'', they are called ''āśrama'': ''brahmacārī-āśrama'', ''gṛhastha-āśrama'', ''vānaprastha-āśrama'', ''sannyāsa-āśrama''. ''Āśrama'' means . . . this "āśrama" word is now very popular in your country also. ''Āśrama'' means where there is some spiritual connection. That is ''āśrama''. So all these four divisions are called ''āśrama'', different ''āśrama''. Either you remain as ''brahmacārī'' or ''gṛhastha'' or ''vānaprastha'' or ''sannyāsa'', your main business is to cultivate Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is called ''āśrama''.

And ''gṛha'' . . . Caitanya Mahāprabhu, when He was about seventeen years old, He was married, and when He was twenty years old His first wife died. Then He married for the second time, and in twenty-fourth year He took ''sannyāsa''. So after the death, or disappearance, of His first wife . . . He was not at home at that time—He was out of His country, because a ''brāhmin's'' business is to preach. So Caitanya Mahāprabhu was born in a very respectable family, a ''brāhmin'', so when He came back home He saw His wife is no more. So mother requested, "My dear boy, please accept another wife." Caitanya Mahāprabhu said: "Yes. I’ll accept, because home . . . I have come home. Home means wife."

Actually ''gṛhiṇī'', ''gṛhiṇī'', "the mistress of the home." Without wife there is no meaning of home, according to Vedic culture. Home means wife, ''gṛhiṇī gṛham ucyate. Na gṛhaṁ gṛhaṁ ity ähur grhini grham ucyate'' ([[CC Adi 15.27]]). Home . . . if we mean home means an apartment—so we are also living in an apartment: four walls, one ceiling, one floor. But why you are called ''gṛhastha''? The only difference is that ''gṛhastha'' is with wife and ''sannyāsī'' is without wife. Without wife means voluntarily giving up the connection with wife.

So these four divisions are very scientific. Another four divisions—''brahmacārī'', ''gṛhastha''—four divisions of the order of working: ''brahmin'', ''kṣatriya'', ''vaiśya'', ''śūdra''. This combined eight system in the human society is called perfect human society. Where these four . . . eight divisions of spiritual and material advancement of life is not there existing, that means that is not human society. They are required.

So here it is explained that either you be ''brahmacārī'' or ''gṛhastha'' or ''vānaprastha'' or ''sannyāsa'', everyone's business is Kṛṣṇa, cultivate Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Or either you become a ''brahmin'' or a ''kṣatriya'' or a ''vaiśya'' or the . . . ''brahmin'' intelligent class of men; ''kṣatriya'' means politicians, administrative class of men; ''vaiśya'' means mercantile class of men; and ''śūdra'' means general worker. So either you are ''brahmin'' or a ''kṣatriya''—whatever you may be—it doesn't matter.

Just like my different parts, limbs, of the body are situated in different parts to function differently. Hand's function is different from the leg's function. The mouth's function is different from the genitals' function. Although they are situated for executing different function, the whole aim is targeted to maintenance of this body. Similarly, whatever you may be, you do not require to change your position. You remain a ''brahmacārī'', ''gṛhastha'', worker, laborer, ''brahmin'' —whatever you may be, that doesn't matter—you just engage yourself in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is your duty.

The hand's function is different from the leg's function, but both the hands and the legs are engaged for serving the whole body. Similarly, you may become an engineer or a medical practitioner, a businessman or worker, this or that—that doesn't matter. Please engage yourself in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and your life will be success. This is the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. It doesn't matter, it is not required that you have to become from engineer to a ''brahmin''. No. You remain an engineer, you remain anything, but take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Hmm. Go on.

Madhudviṣa: "He restricts himself from the vibrations of material sounds, and his hearing is engaged in the transcendental sound vibration Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa. Similarly, the householders, who have some license for sense gratification, perform such acts with great restraint. Sex life, intoxication and meat-eating are general tendencies of human society, but a regulated householder does not indulge in unrestricted sex life and other sense gratification. Marriage on principles of religious life is therefore current in all civilized human society because that is the way for restricted sex life."

Prabhupāda: Yes. The animal . . . in the animal society there is no marriage. In any country, either in your country or in Arabian country or India, if they are human being there is some system of marriage. But in the cats' and dogs' society, they are also mating, but there is no marriage. So people can say so that marriage is legalized prostitution. But actually it is not that. Marriage means restricted: restriction.

Just like you have got your wife, so if you have your sex life with any other women or man, that is adulteration. You can say, "Why? The same thing is there. Why it is adulteration?" No. The law says. That means restriction. Restriction is human life, and no restriction means animal life. All the laws are meant for the human being. "Keep to the right," it is not meant for the dog. If the dog goes to the left, there is no law for it, because it is dog. But if you do, you'll be liable to punishment.

So all books of knowledge, literature, art, religion, philosophy, science, they are meant for human beings; they are not meant for the animals. Therefore the aim of human life is to elevate himself by knowledge. That is human life. Not to keep him in darkness—that is not human life. Human life, we have got the opportunity to rise up to the highest platform of knowledge. And what is that highest platform of knowledge? That highest platform of knowledge is to go back to home, back to Godhead, go back to Kṛṣṇa. That is perfection.

''Bahūnāṁ janmanām ante''. This knowledge is acquired after many, many births. It is not ordinary thing, this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. ''Ei rupe brahmāṇḍa bhramite kona bhāgyavān jīva'' ([[CC Madhya 19.151]]).

It is meant for the fortunate man, what to speak of the animals; they cannot understand. But only the fortunate man, they are able to understand what is the purpose of this ''Bhagavad-gītā'', and if fortunately he can understand, his life becomes successful.

But it is open to all; there is no restriction. Simply you have to understand it and make practical application in your life, then your life is successful. It is not difficult. But the thing is that we want to remain in animal life. That is our disease. We like animalistic life. "Man is rational animal." So we want to sacrifice our rationality and remain in animalism. That is our disease. We prefer to remain in animalistic life, because there is immediate sense gratification, immediate some so-called pleasure.

''Śreya'', ''preya''. Just like a child playing all day. Father says, "My dear child, you read." He says, "Oh, I don't like to read." That is called ''preya''. It is very dear to play, but to take to education is not so liking to the children, because he is foolish; he does not know that without education his future life will be in the darkness. Similarly, any person who is simply indulging in animalistic way of life without acquiring knowledge for highest perfection, he is simply making suicide, he is killing himself, ''sa ātmahā'' the ''śāstra'' says.

He is killing, just like you can take one razor and you cut your throat. That is . . . you are at liberty to do that, but that is not a very good business, you see. (chuckles) Similarly, though so many books of knowledge are there if you don't take to this knowledge and simply indulge in our sense gratification, that means we are making the same thing, cutting our own throat.

Yes, go on.

Madhudviṣa: "This restricted unattached sex life is also a kind of ''yajña'', because the restricted householder sacrifices his general tendency . . ."

Prabhupāda: This is also ''yajña'', sacrifice. I want unrestricted sex life, but I obey the order of the ''śāstras'', or the law, that "No, I shall not have sex life with anyone else without my married wife or husband." That is sacrifice. You sacrifice your propensity, unrestricted propensity. This is required. A ''brahmacārī'', a ''brahmacārī'' is supposed to have no connection with women; a ''vānaprastha'' is supposed to have no connection with women, even his wife is present; and what to speak of ''sannyāsi''. He has no connection with any women, even with his own wife.

So the restriction of sex life is from the beginning. ''Brahmacārī'', ''gṛhastha'', vānaprastha and ''sannyāsa''. Only ''gṛhastha'', the householders, are allowed restricted sex life. The whole idea is that this material existence is due to sex life. That's all. If you increase your sex life, then increase your duration of material existence. If you decrease your sex life, then you advance towards the path of absolute realization, ''yad icchanto brahmacaryaṁ caranti'' ([[BG 8.11 (1972)|BG 8.11]]) In the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' you will find that one who is desiring to go back to Godhead, back to home, then he should practice life of celibacy. That is very important thing.

Yes.

Madhudviṣa: "The restricted householder sacrifices his general tendency toward sense gratification for higher, transcendental life." Twenty-seven.

Prabhupāda: Hmm. Go on.

Madhudviṣa: "And some offered the work of the senses and the work of the life-force, controlling them in ''yoga'' to obtain knowledge of the self." Twenty-eight.

Prabhupāda: This is ''yoga'' practice. What is the ''yoga'' practice? ''Yoga'' practice, whole ''yoga'' practice is meant for controlling senses. It is not that you simply make a show of meditating fifteen minutes and do all nonsense twenty-four hours. That is not ''yoga'' practice. ''Yoga'', whole practice, the ''yoga'' practice is ''yoga indriya-saṁyamaḥ''. ''Yoga'' means to control the senses. That is the real meaning of yoga. Not that you attend ''yoga'' class and immediately . . .

Immediately . . . while practicing ''yoga'' I see so many persons, they are smoking and doing all sorts of things. You see? This is simply bogus. ''Yoga'' means to control senses, practice controlled senses. It is not meant for keeping your health good so that you can enjoy senses more, I mean to say, strengthfully. No. ''Yoga'' practice means controlling the senses.

Go on.

Madhudviṣa: "There are others who, enlightened by sacrificing their material possessions in severe austerities, take strict vows and practice the ''yoga'' of eightfold mysticism, and others study the ''Vedas'' for advancement of transcendental knowledge."

Twenty-nine. "And there are even others, who are inclined to the process of breath restraint to remain in trance, and they practice stopping the movement of the outgoing breath into the incoming."

Prabhupāda: The breathing exercise, ''yoga'' practice, means increasing the duration of your life, if anyone can practice this breathing exercise actually. We have got limited number of breathing. The heart is palpilating like this. So it has got limited number of palpilation. Just like if you have got a bank balance, so if you go on drawing it daily, so very quickly it is finished. But if you don't draw it, keep it, balance, then you can continue for several years, several months, as you like.

Similarly ''yoga'' practice, perfection of ''yoga'' practice, means increasing the duration of your life. If we eat more, if we have sense enjoyment more, if you labor more, then our duration of life decreases. But if you can restrain yourself, if you can sit down in one place without eating more, without any work, then you can increase your duration of life.

So ''yoga'' practice means the ''yogīs'', those who are perfect ''yogī'', they practice in such a way that unless they are prepared fully to transfer himself, oneself, to any planet he likes, he continues to practice ''yoga''. There are many ''yogīs'' still in India, they are seven hundred years old, three hundred years old; still they look like young boy. That is ''yoga'' practice.

The bogus ''yoga'' practice going on in your country is simply cheating people. Yoga practice is different. That is very difficult, and not possible in this age. Nobody can follow all the rules and regulation of ''yoga''. That we will find in this ''Bhagavad-gītā'' in the Sixth Chapter, we'll come.

So ''yoga'' practice means that is another kind of sacrifice. Sacrifice means to stop your unrestricted . . . or why, restricted even, sense gratification. That is ''yoga'' practice.

Go on.

Madhudviṣa: "Some of them, curtailing the eating process, offer the outgoing breath into itself, as a sacrifice."

Thirty. "All these performers who know the meaning of sacrifice become cleansed of sinful reaction and, having tasted the nectar of the remnants of such sacrifice, they go to the supreme eternal atmosphere."

Prabhupāda: Yes. The whole aim is to purify yourself and go back to Godhead, back to home. That is the whole aim, either you practice this ''yoga'' or that ''yoga''. There are ''jñāna-yoga'' . . . the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' deals in three types of ''yoga'', means ''karma-yoga'', ''jñāna-yoga'', ''dhyāna-yoga'' and ultimately ''bhakti-yoga''.

So any transcendental practice is called ''yoga''. So either you do it as ''karma-yoga'' . . . ''yoga'' means linking yourself with the Supreme by your work, linking yourself by cultivation of knowledge, linking yourself by meditation or linking yourself by engaging yourself in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

So any ''yoga'' system you take, that will give you perfection. But the thing is, in this age no other ''yoga'' practice is possible except this practice, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, or ''bhakti-yoga'' practice. Simply you have to chant, and you get all the good results. That is very easy. It can be practiced by anyone. It doesn't require any preliminary qualifications. ''Kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva nāsty eva gatir anyathā'' ([[CC Adi 17.21]]).

There is no . . . (break)

Madhudviṣa: (reading end of 4.30 purport) ". . . but also at the end, he enters into the eternal kingdom of God, either merging into the impersonal Brahman or associating with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa."

Prabhupāda: That's all. (devotees offer obeisances)

Hare Kṛṣṇa. Any question?

Bīrabhadra: You said that ''yoga'', by ''yoga'' you can go to any planet. Does that mean you can go to Kṛṣṇaloka?

Prabhupāda: Yes. If you practice Kṛṣṇa consciousness and at the time of death if you remain in full consciousness of Kṛṣṇa, you immediately go. That's all. This is the practice. ''Ante nārāyaṇa-smṛti'' ([[SB 2.1.6]]).

At the end if we can remember Kṛṣṇa, that is perfection of life. That's all. ''Ante'' means at the end of life.

So that is the test, examination, what happens at the end. So if you practice ''sadā tad-bhāva-bhāvitaḥ'' ([[BG 8.6 (1972)|BG 8.6]]).
If you twenty-four hours practice how to think of Kṛṣṇa, naturally Kṛṣṇa will give you chance to think of Kṛṣṇa at that time, last moment. Yes.

Therefore there is one verse by Kulaśekhara, he says:

:''kṛṣṇa tvadīya-padapaṅkaja-pañjarāntam''
:''adyaiva me viśatu mānasa-rāja-haṁsaḥ''
:(MM 33)

"My dear Kṛṣṇa, Your lotus feet is lotus flower, and there is stem, and my mind is just like swan. So let me (be) entrapped by the stem immediately." You have seen in the lakes the swans take pleasure in being entrapped with the stems of lotus flowers or lily flowers. That is their sporting. Perhaps you have marked? You marked in that lake in Seattle? Yes. He was . . . the swan was pushing its head to the stem. That is their pleasure.

So the King Kulaśekhara, he is praying that "My dear Kṛṣṇa, Your feet is lotus flower, so there is stem, so let me push my head immediately and (be) entrapped by the stem." Why immediately? He says, ''prāṇa-prayāṇa-samaye'', at the time of death, ''kapha-vāta-pittaiḥ kaṇṭhāvarodhana-vidhau smaraṇaṁ kutas te'': "At the time of death this mucus and bile and air, they will be congested, and my voice will be choked up. Where is the opportunity of chanting Your name at that time? Therefore I am now in good health and good consciousness, let me die immediately thinking of Your lotus feet." These are the prayers, you see.

So this is Kṛṣṇa consciousness practice, that you practice. Anything you practice . . . just like you practice something, and in the examination hall you write very nicely immediately. But if you have no practice, then how you can write? Similarly, if you practice chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, then even in sleeping also you will chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. There are three stages: awakening stage—sleeping stage, dreaming stage; and unconscious stage. Unconsciousness. The consciousness . . . we are just pushing Kṛṣṇa in the consciousness. So even in unconsciousness stage also you will have Kṛṣṇa.

So if you are fortunately able to come to that perfectional state, then this life is the end of your material existence. You enter into the spiritual world and have your eternal life, blissful life, and dance with Kṛṣṇa. That's all.

Devotee (3): Śrīla Prabhupāda, what is the ''yoga'' of eightfold mysticism?

Prabhupāda: Hmm?

Devotee (3): Śrīla Prabhupāda, what is the ''yoga'' of eightfold mysticism?

Prabhupāda: Ah. Eightfold mysticism means this ''yoga'' practice, ''aṣṭāṅga-yoga''. ''Aṣṭāṅga-yoga'' beginning is eightfold. ''Aṣṭā'' means eight. What is that? ''Yaṁ niyaṁ'' . . . ''yaṁ'' means controlling; ''niyaṁ'' means following the rules and regulation; ''āsana''—sitting posture, practicing the sitting posture. That will help you. ''Yaṁ niyaṁ asana prāṇāyāma''—breathing exercise.

''Yaṁ niyaṁ asana prāṇāyāma dhyāna''—meditation; ''dhāraṇā''—concentration; then ''samādhi''—absorption. These are eight different practices of ''yoga''. But who is going to do that? They simply practice a little more sitting posture and they think they are perfecting ''yoga'', that's all. It is not possible to perform all the processes of ''yoga''. Nobody can. You see? ''Kṛte yad dhyāyato viṣṇu''.

So don't be mislead. Take the instruction:

:''kṛte yad dhyāyato viṣṇuṁ''
:''tretāyāṁ yajato makhaiḥ''
:''dvāpare paricaryāyāṁ''
:''kalau tad dhari-kīrtanāt''
:([[SB 12.3.52]])

There are divisions of four ages. In the ''kṛte'', in the ''satya-yuga'', the good age or golden age, when people used to live for one hundred thousands of years, at that time this ''dhyāna'' meditation was possible. ''Kṛte yad dhyāyato viṣṇuṁ tretāyāṁ yajato makhaiḥ''.

Next age by performances of sacrifices; next age by temple worship; and this age, ''kalau''—this age is called Kali, the age of quarrel and dissention—in this age, all these practices will not be possible to follow, only ''hari-kīrtanāt'', chanting the name of Hari. That's all. These are the direction of the ''śāstra''.

So if you want to be really happy, you have to take direction of the authority and follow it. So this is the . . . and actually we are experiencing, our students who have taken to this chanting process of ''yoga''—oh, bring any other ''yogīs'' and just compare with them. You see?

No. They can not be compared. They are far advanced. Yes. But the simple process: chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa. That's all. This is the process recommended in this age.

Yes?

Devotee (4): Prabhupāda, when we first got to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, a way to concentrate is to just concentrate on the vibration. Should we try to strive for . . .

Prabhupāda: No concentrate on the vibration. Simply hear. It is very easy. If I say: "Hare," you can hear, even without concentration. It is so easy.

Devotee (4): But . . .

Prabhupāda: But if you hear attentively, that is required.

Devotee (4): Should we try to progress from that stage, or should we just . . .

Prabhupāda: The progress is that you have to avoid the ten kinds of offenses. That is progress. And that ten kinds of offenses can be avoided if you chant and hear also at the same time. That is ''yoga''. That means your mind and your all senses are concentrated, and that is ''samādhi''.

You chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and hear also Hare Kṛṣṇa. This is the process. Not that you are chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa mechanically but you are hearing something else. That is inattention, That is offense. It will take some time. If you chant offensively, then it will take some time.

That means by chanting, chanting, you will come to the stage of offenseless platform. But why don't you try from the very beginning? Because we want quickly to be perfect. So these are the processes. Simply chant and hear, that's all, and every perfection will come gradually, without any doubt.

So any other question?

(pause) All right, chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. (devotees offer obeisances) (''kīrtana'') (''prema-dhvani'') All glories to the assembled devotees. All glories to the assembled devotees. Thank you very much. (end)

Prabhupāda: (''kīrtana'') (''prema-dhvani'') Thank you very much. (devotees offer obeisances)

Read. Those who have books, open. Where is your son?

Young woman: Sleeping.

Prabhupāda: That's all right. You can come forward, that girl. Come on. Come forward, yes. Sit down. Hare Kṛṣṇa. Read.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: 46, chapter . . . (indistinct) . . . "All purposes that are served by the small pond can at once be served by the great reservoirs of water. Similarly, all the purposes of the Vedas can be served to one who knows the purpose behind them." ([[BG 2.46 (1972)|BG 2.46]])

Forty-seven, "You have a right to . . ."

Prabhupāda: Now try to understand this. The long-standing system in India in the villages . . . India is originally village life. City life very few. Perhaps there was only big city, New Delhi now—in those days, Hastināpura—and next to that was Dvārakā. So very big city, they were only two or three. Mostly people used to live in villages.

Still, ninety percent population of India is in the village. So in the village, the system is they have different kinds of wells. One well is meant for taking bath, one well is meant for washing clothes, one well is meant for taking drinking water, one well is meant for washing dishes. In this way, in the villages there shall be half a dozen wells.

So here the example is given, just like one can take service from a particular type of well for a particular purpose, but if he goes to the river, ever-flowing river, then he can take his bath there, he can wash clothes, he can wash dishes, he can . . . everything. All water purposes will be served in one river, because the water is flowing there; there is no contamination. Any water which is always flowing, there cannot be any contamination.

A stagnant water which is not flowing, there may be contamination. Therefore the restriction is that you should take bath in this well, you wash your clothings in this well. So small wells, they are restricted for a certain purpose, but in the river, there is no restriction; everything can be done there.

So ''Bhagavad-gītā'', you'll find in the Fifteenth Chapter, the Lord says, ''vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ'' ([[BG 15.15 (1972)|BG 15.15]]): The purpose of all scriptures and Vedas is to know Kṛṣṇa, or God. So . . . and the ''Upaniṣad'' says, ''yasmin vijñāte sarvam idaṁ vijñātaṁ bhavati'' (''Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad'' 1.3). If you simply understand the Supreme Absolute, then you understand everything. So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness means it includes everything. The ''karmīs'' activities, fruitive actions; the ''jñānīs'', philosophers', speculation; the ''yogīs'' mystic power; and ''bhaktas'', devotees,' worship of the Lord—everything is included.

Just like if you have got a millions of dollar, then ten dollar is there, five dollar is there, twenty dollar is there, everything is there. So if you take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then you take all kinds of . . . all the well, all the purpose of different type of well is served in the river of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That example is said. It includes everything.

Just like Kṛṣṇa consciousness, we are . . . take practical example. We are Kṛṣṇa conscious. Now take any religion and take their highest conclusion—it is there in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Take for example Buddhism. They say nonviolence. Oh, we are nonviolent. Christianism, love of God. Oh, we are simply meant for loving God.

Christian . . . I mean to say, Muhammadan, servant of God, to render service to the Lord. Oh, we are twenty-four hours engaged in the service of the Lord. ''Yogīs—samādhi'', always in ''samādhi'', absorbed in the thought of the Supreme. We are always absorbed in the thought of Kṛṣṇa.

So take any religion, any process, any well. Oh, this river, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, will overflood everyone. There cannot be any comparison. What is there? How much water is there in the well? In the river, unlimited. Thousands of wells can be merged into the river. This example is given. ''Yasmin vijñāte sarvam idaṁ vijñātaṁ bhavati'' (''Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad'' 1.3). If you know Kṛṣṇa, you know everything: you know science, you know mathematics, you know philosophy, you know geography, everything. There is no dearth of knowledge. Don't think that a Kṛṣṇa conscious person, actually he can be a foolish man. No.

That is given guarantee in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'':

:''teṣām evānukampārtham''
:''aham ajñāna-jaṁ tamaḥ''
:''nāśayāmy ātma-bhāva-stho''
:''jñāna-dīpena bhāsvatā''
:([[BG 10.11 (1972)|BG 10.11]])

A devotee who is always in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, for him there is nothing unknown. He knows everything. Just like we can give information of the whole creation—not only of this material world, of the spiritual world. Clear conception: where is where, what is what. Everything. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. The more you make progress, then you fully, I mean to say, conversant with all departmental knowledge. Everything is complete.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Forty-seven: "You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Neither consider yourself the cause of action, nor should you be attached to inaction."

Purport: "There are three considerations here: prescribed duties, capricious work and inaction. Prescribed duties mean activities in terms of one's position in the modes of material nature; capricious work means actions without the sanction of authority; and inaction means not performing one's prescribed duty. The Lord advised that Arjuna not be inactive, but that he be active in his duty without being attached to the result. One who is attached to the result of his work is also the cause of the action. Thus he is the enjoyer or sufferer of the result of such actions."

"As far as prescribed duties are concerned, they can be fitted into three subdivisions: routine work, emergency work and desired activities. Routine work in terms of the scriptural injunctions is done without desire for results. As one has to do it, obligatory work is action in the modes of goodness. Work with results becomes the cause of bondage, and so such work is not auspicious. Everyone has his proprietary right in regard to his duties, but should act without attachment to the result. Thus such disinterested obligatory duties helps to lead one to the path of liberation."

"Arjuna was advised by the Lord to fight as a matter of duty, without attachment to the result. His nonparticipation in the battle is another side of attachment. Such attachment never leads one to the path of salvation. Any attachment, positive or negative, is cause for bondage. Inaction is sinful. Therefore fighting as a matter of duty was the only auspicious path to salvation for Arjuna."

Forty-eight: "Be steadfast in your duty, O Arjuna, and abandon all attachment to success or failure. Such evenness of mind is called ''yoga''."

Prabhupāda: This is the explanation of ''yoga'': evenness of mind. ''Yoga-samatvam ucyate'' ([[BG 2.48 (1972)|BG 2.48]]). If you work for Kṛṣṇa, then there is no cause of lamentation or jubilation. Jubilation is there because you are working for Kṛṣṇa, but there is no cause of lamentation. ''Yoga-sthaḥ kuru karmāṇi, yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam'' ([[BG 2.50 (1972)|BG 2.50]]). That is the secret of activities: how you can very diligently work, at the same time you are not entangled with the action. That is the secret.

Go on.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Forty-nine, "O Dhanañjaya, rid yourself of all fruitive activities by devotional service and surrender fully to that consciousness. Those who want to enjoy the fruits of their work are misers."

Fifty, "A man engaged in devotional service rids himself of both good and bad actions."

Prabhupāda: Now here it is . . . one significant word is there. One who wants to enjoy the result of his work, he is miser. He is miser. What is the opposite word of miser? Huh? What is the opposite word?

Viṣṇujana: Philanthropic?

Prabhupāda: Huh?

Viṣṇujana: Philanthropic?

Prabhupāda: Liberal. Is it not? So those who are in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, they are liberal. And those who are acting for his own benefit, they are miser. They are ''mahātmās'' who are working for Kṛṣṇa. That is also stated in the ''Bhagavad-gītā, mahātmā. Mahātmānas tu māṁ pārtha daivīṁ prakṛtim āśritāḥ'' ([[BG 9.13 (1972)|BG 9.13]]).

:''sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ.''
:''bahūnāṁ janmanām ante''
:''jñānavān māṁ prapadyate''
:''vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti''
:''sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ''
:([[BG 7.19 (1972)|BG 7.19]])

After many, many births, when a person is actually wise, ''jñānavān'', perfectly in knowledge . . . what is that symptom of perfect knowledge? ''Vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti'': Kṛṣṇa is everything. That is perfection of knowledge. ''Vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti, prapadyate mām''.

If I find out somebody supreme, then it is my duty to surrender unto him. Yes. But as soon as I surrender, I become ''mahātmā'', liberal, not miser. Miser is thinking on his own account, "How much I'll get? How much in my share?" And liberal means he has no more share; everything Kṛṣṇa's. This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. ''Sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ''.

That sort of ''mahātmā'', liberal person, is very rare. So Kṛṣṇa consciousness, a person in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, you cannot find many. It is not possible. Everyone is miser. He's always thinking, "How much share is mine? How much I can collect for my personal?" And Kṛṣṇa conscious person is simply trying how much he is giving to Kṛṣṇa. This way. One this way, and one this way. This is miser and liberal.

Everyone, in all principle, they go to God for asking something. That is also described in the ''Bhagavad-gītā, ārtaḥ arthārthī jñānī jijñāsu'' ([[BG 7.16 (1972)|BG 7.16]]). Four kinds of people go to God—those who are distressed . . . of course, they are pious. Anyone who goes to God, never mind even for asking daily bread, they are pious. But those who are not going to God, they are impious, miscreant.

One who is thinking, "Oh, why shall I go to God for asking bread? I can produce my bread," so that man who is very proud of producing his bread is a nonsense miscreant. And a man who is going to the church, praying, "God give my daily bread," he is pious, but he's not a pure devotee. But there is chance of his becoming pure devotee in future. So ''ārtaḥ arthārthī jijñāsu''.

So the Kṛṣṇa consciousness is nothing to ask from Kṛṣṇa, "O Kṛṣṇa, give us our daily bread." No. It is far, far higher. Because he knows that, "Kṛṣṇa, I ask or I do not ask, Kṛṣṇa is supplying me bread. He's supplying bread to the beast, birds and animals, insects, and I have sacrificed my life for Kṛṣṇa, and He'll not supply me bread?" Is it very intelligent? No. He knows perfectly well that, "Kṛṣṇa is taking care of me. Now it is my duty how much service I can render to Kṛṣṇa. That is my business." That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Kṛṣṇa is not miser. He is supplying millions and millions of living entities bread. So what is the use of asking Him? Without asking Him . . . the birds, the beasts, they have no church, and pray to God, "Oh, give us our daily bread," but nobody is starving. Nobody is starving. ''Eko bahūnāṁ vidadhāti kāmān'' (''Kaṭha Upaniṣad'' 2.2.13). That one Supreme is supplying everyone's necessities. Either you go to church or don't go to church, Kṛṣṇa is so kind, He's supplying food everyone.

Therefore one who is in the higher standard of consciousness, he will think only that, "Kṛṣṇa is supplying so much for us, what I am doing for Kṛṣṇa?" That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is Kṛṣṇa . . . that is intelligence. That is ''mahātmā''. That is liberal. He begins to become a liberal. So long one is not in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he's miser, simply thinking, "How much bread I have got? How much . . .?"

Miser means . . . another sense of miser is one who cannot utilize money properly. Suppose one has got one million dollar from his father, but he is simply thinking that, "I shall see the money and I shall not utilize it. If I go to utilize, I may loss it. Better I will see every day in my treasury box." He's also miser. Similarly, this human form of life, simply used for the sense gratification, is miser. He cannot utilize this form of body for increasing the asset of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Therefore he is miser. And one who is properly utilizing this valuable life for understanding Kṛṣṇa, he is ''brahmin''.

''Brahma jānāti iti brāhmaṇa. Brāhmaṇa'' means one who knows the Supreme Absolute Truth. He is called ''brāhmaṇa''. The sacred thread is offered to a person who knows Kṛṣṇa. Otherwise it is not awarded. This is a symbolic representation. "This man has got sacred thread. That means he knows Kṛṣṇa, Brahman, Supreme Brahman." Just like Arjuna, ''paraṁ brahma paraṁ dhāma pavitraṁ paramaṁ bhavān'' ([[BG 10.12-13 (1972)|BG 10.12]]).

In the Tenth Chapter you'll find. Arjuna says that "You are ''paraṁ brahma''. Kṛṣṇa, You are ''paraṁ brahma''." Similarly, if anyone knows Brahman, Para-brahman, Kṛṣṇa, he is ''brahmin''. ''Brahma jānāti iti brahmin''. One who knows the Supreme Brahman, Kṛṣṇa, he is ''brāhmaṇa''. Not a person who is born in the family of a ''brahmin''. He may be a ''caṇḍāla'' by his mentality.

So ''Bhāgavata'' says, ''yasya hi yal lakṣaṇaṁ'' (''proktaṁ puṁso'') ''syat varṇābhivyañjakam'' ([[SB 7.11.35]]). There are symptoms. You'll find all these in ''Bhagavad-gītā'': who is ''brahmin'', who is ''kṣatriya'', who is ''vaiśya'', who is ''śūdra''. By symptoms, by characteristics, you will know. Similarly, if you find a man knows Kṛṣṇa, you must accept him: "He is a ''brahmin''." He's a ''brahmin''. ''Brahma jānāti iti brāhmaṇa''.

So the miser, the opposite word is liberal or ''brāhmaṇa''. Miser knows his self-interest, "How much nice foodstuff I have got to eat daily." That's all. And liberal, "How much ''kṛṣṇa-prasāda'' I am distributing to the world." Liberal.

A miser is thinking, "How much nice dishes I have eaten today. How much I have satisfied my tongue. Never mind I go to hell; let me eat this, that, so many nice things. Let me satisfy my tongue." "Oh, for your tongue so many animals are being sacrificed, killed?" "Never mind. I want to satisfy my tongue." Miser. But Kṛṣṇa conscious person, he does not satisfy tongue. He wants to satisfy Kṛṣṇa, and whatever remnants, foodstuff, is there, he eats. That's all. He's liberal. These are the distinction between miser and liberal.

Go on.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Fifty: "A man engaged in devotional service rids himself of both good and bad action even in this life. Therefore strive for this ''yoga'', O Arjuna, which is the art of all work." ([[BG 2.50 (1972)|BG 2.50]])

Fifty-one, "The wise, engaged in devotional service, take refuge in the Lord and free themselves from the cycle of birth and death by renouncing the fruits of action in the material world."

Prabhupāda: Yes. There is purport?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No. There's a little more to that ''śloka''.

Prabhupāda: All right. Finish.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "In this way they can attain that state beyond all miseries."

Prabhupāda: Read it again.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "The wise, engaged in devotional service, take refuge in the Lord and free themselves from the cycle of birth and death by renouncing the fruits of action in the material world. In this way they can attain that state beyond all miseries."

Prabhupāda: How easy it is. You take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, you act in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, you overcome the cycle of birth and death. And as soon as you overcome the cycle of birth and death, you overcome all miseries. Because birth and death means this material body. The living entity, spirit soul, has no birth and death. And anyone who possesses this material body has to undergo the threefold miseries of the material world.

A similar passage is there in the ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'', the other day, as I was speaking to you, ''nūnaṁ pramattaḥ kurute vikarma'' ([[SB 5.5.4]]). All these people, they are acting in a way which they ought not to have done. ''Nūnaṁ pramattaḥ''. But they are acting as madmen. Why? ''Yad indriya-prītaya'', for satisfaction of the senses. ''Nūnaṁ pramattaḥ kurute vikarma yad indriya-prītaya āpṛṇoti na sādhu manye''. This is not good, because he does not know that he has achieved this material body by working in that way in his previous life. Again he is working in that way. So he'll have to accept again this material body; therefore he's miser. He's not properly utilizing.

Go on.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Fifty-two: "When your intelligence has passed out of the dense forest of delusion, you will become indifferent to all that has been heard and all that is to be heard."

Purport: "There are many good examples in the lives of the great devotees of the Lord, of those who became indifferent to the rituals of the Vedas simply by devotional service to the Lord. When a person factually understands Kṛṣṇa and one's relationship with Kṛṣṇa, one naturally becomes completely indifferent to the rituals of fruitive activities, even though he may be an experienced ''brāhmaṇa''.

"Śrī Mādhavendra Purī, a great devotee and ''ācārya'' in the line of devotees, says, 'O Lord, in my prayers three times a day, all glory to You. O Bathing, I offer my obeisances unto You. O demigods, O forefathers, please excuse me for my inability to offer you my respects. Now wherever I sit I am able to remember the great descendant of the Yadu dynasty, Kṛṣṇa, the enemy of Kaṁsa, and therefore I can get myself free from all sinful bondage. I think this is sufficient for me.' "

Prabhupāda: This is a prayer by Mādhavendra Purī. (chuckling) He says that, "I am not going to do anything except serving Kṛṣṇa." This Mādhavendra Purī was the grand–spiritual master of Lord Caitanya. Mādhavendra Purī's disciple, Īśvara Purī, and Īśvara Purī was accepted as spiritual master of Lord Caitanya. Nobody can become a spiritual master of the Supreme Lord, but in order to teach us that even the Lord, He also accepted a spiritual master. That is the system. ''Mahājano yena gataḥ sa panthāḥ'' ([[CC Madhya 17.186]]).

Unless He shows us the way, people will say: "Oh, Lord Caitanya did not accept any spiritual master." They can give example. But therefore Kṛṣṇa also accepted spiritual master.

This is the system. One has to. ''Tad vijñānārthaṁ sa gurum evābhigacchet'' (''Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad'' 1.2.12). One must accept a spiritual master if he at all wants to know the spiritual science. Without that, it is not possible. Kṛṣṇa science, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, cannot be developed without the assistance of a bona fide representative of Kṛṣṇa. ''Naiṣāṁ matis tāvad urukramāṅghrim'' ([[SB 7.5.32]]). There are very, very, many, many instances.

What is that? Go on.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "The Vedic rites and rituals are imperative for the beginning of human life."

Prabhupāda: Yes. ''Dharmeṇa hīna paśubhiḥ samāna''. Vedic rituals . . . every human society has got some scriptures and some ritualistic activities. Never mind whether Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Jews, they have. That is the symptom of human civilization. If you have no religion, if you have no standing, then you are animal. Never mind you accept this religion or that religion, it doesn't matter. But you must have a religion. Otherwise a man is animal.

Go on.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "Comprehending all kinds of prayer three times a day, taking a bath early in the morning, offering respects to the forefathers, etc. But when one is fully in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and is engaged in His transcendental loving service, one becomes indifferent to all these regulative principles because he has already attained perfection of life. If one can reach the platform of understanding by service to the Supreme Lord, Kṛṣṇa, he has no longer the duty to execute the different types of penances and sacrifices recommended in revealed scriptures."

Prabhupāda: Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, when He started this movement, He preached that simply by chanting you will get all perfection, and the ''brahmins'' of Navadvīpa, they rebelled against Him that, "This boy . . ." He was boy of twenty years or some less than that, "This boy is preaching something against the Vedic religious system." So in other words, they were afraid of their priestly profession. Because if everyone takes to simply chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa and forgets all ritualistic activities, then how they will live? They are priestly class, they were getting some money by their followers.

So . . . but Caitanya Mahāprabhu had no such desire. He simplified the whole thing. ''Harer nāma eva kevalam'' ([[CC Adi 17.21]]): Simply chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and you become elevated to the highest platform. Actually it is so. You can see from the behavior of our students. They simply took this chanting; now see their behavior, see their character. It will automatically. That is the result. ''Ihā haite sarva-siddhi haibe tomāra'' (''Caitanya-bhāgavata'' ''Madhya'' 23.78). Lord Caitanya said: "Every kind of . . . all kinds of perfection will follow. Simply you begin chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa sincerely."

Yes. Go on.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "And similarly, if one has not understood that the purpose of the Vedas is to reach Kṛṣṇa and simply engages in the rituals, then he is uselessly wasting time in such engagements. Persons in Kṛṣṇa consciousness transcend the limit of ''śabda-brahma''."

Prabhupāda: ''Śabda-brahma'', sound vibration. Sound-''brahma''; Brahman in sound. Just like Brahman means all-pervading. All-pervading. So the sound is all-pervading. You'll find sound . . . beginning from the sky to the earth, you'll find sound, all-pervading.

In the sky, there is sound. You have got experience. In the fire there is sound, in the air there is sound, in the earth there is sound, (taps) every metal, wood. You take everything, there is sound. So Brahman means all-pervading.

But this transcendental sound . . . just like your radio message, television sound, they cannot go beyond this earthly planet, utmost. But there is sound which can penetrate the whole universe and go to the spiritual world. Sound is all-pervading, that is a fact, scientific fact. If that sound is potent, then it can penetrate even this material sky and go to the spiritual sky and go to Kṛṣṇa directly. That sound is Hare Kṛṣṇa.

''Golokera prema-dhana, hari-nāma-saṅkīrtana, rati nā janmilo mora tāya'' (''Iṣṭa Deve Vijñapti'' 2). I've given that . . . he has translated very nice, Hayagrīva. ''Golokera prema-dhana''. This is descended from the spiritual platform, Goloka Vṛndāvana, ''hari-nāma-saṅkīrtana'', this Hare Kṛṣṇa. ''Rati nā janmilo kene tāya'': "I have no attachment for these things." I have got attachment for radio sound or television sound, so many sound, but I have no attachment for the supreme sound, which is coming down from the Goloka Vṛndāvana.

''Golokera prema-dhana, hari-nāma-saṅkīrtana, rati nā janmilo mora . . . biṣāya biṣānale, dibā-niśi hiyā jwale''. "In this material world, I am . . . my heart is always burning on account of so many miseries." ''Juṛāite nā koinu upāya'': "But I could not find out the way how to get out of it." This sound vibration will get you out from the blazing fire of this material condition. This sound, ''harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam'' ([[CC Adi 17.21]]). Chant always; everything will be perfectly done.

Yes. Go on.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Fifty-three, Oh, I'll finish this sentence. "Persons in Kṛṣṇa consciousness transcend the limit of ''śabda-brahma'' or the range of the Vedas and the ''Upaniṣads''."

Fifty-three, "When your mind is no longer disturbed by the flowery language of the Vedas, and when it remains fixed in the trance of self-realization, then you will have attained the divine consciousness."

Fifty-four, "Arjuna said: 'What are the symptoms of one whose consciousness is thus merged in transcendence? How does he speak and what is his language? How does he sit and how does he walk?' "

Prabhupāda: This is very important thing. One . . . the symptom, the characteristics, of Kṛṣṇa conscious persons, they are described there, item by item.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "The Blessed Lord said: 'O Pārtha, when a man gives up all . . .' "

Prabhupāda: This is the result of talks between Arjuna and Kṛṣṇa. Arjuna is putting in such a way, and Kṛṣṇa is answering. That means it is meant for all conditioned soul. Unless Arjuna would have asked all these question, how we could have received such transcendental message?

Therefore it was necessary that Arjuna would play the part of an ordinary, conditioned soul. Actually he was not. He's simply playing the part in order to eschew transcendental message. Because Kṛṣṇa has spoken, everyone will take it as authorized. So Kṛṣṇa is now speaking.

Go on.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "The Blessed Lord said, 'O Pārtha, when a man gives up all varieties of sense desire which arise of invention, and when his mind finds satisfaction in the self alone, then he is said to be in pure transcendental consciousness'." ([[BG 2.55 (1972)|BG 2.55]])

Prabhupāda: Now if one comes to the understanding, enlightenment . . . this is the beginning of enlightenment—self-understanding, that "I am part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa. I do not belong to this material world. I am not part and parcel of this country, this world or this material atmosphere, but I am part and parcel of the Supreme." This is enlightenment.

Read it again.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "The Blessed Lord said, 'O Pārtha, when a man gives up all varieties of sense enjoyment . . .' "

Prabhupāda: Now if you are interested with so many varieties, material varieties . . . suppose I belong to this country, then I have got so much duty, so many duties—if I belong to this world, if I belong to the human society, if I belong to this and that. But if you simply belong to Kṛṣṇa, that is enlightenment.

Yes. Go on.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: ". . . and when his mind finds satisfaction in the self alone, then he is said to be in pure transcendental consciousness."

Fifty-six, "One who is not disturbed in spite of the threefold miseries, who is not elated when there is happiness and who is free from attachment, fear and anger, is called a sage of steady mind."

Prabhupāda: Now, if I do not identify myself with this body, if this knowledge is fixed up, then . . . the miserable condition of this material world is due to this body, but if I don't identify with this body, then what relationship I have got with all this miseries? This is theoretical knowledge, of course, but one has to practice. But this is a fact.

Just like for the time being, if there is any pain in the body . . . I feel pain because I am absorbed in this bodily concept of life, but actually, I am not this body. That is a fact. It is due to my absorption of bodily concept of life; therefore I feel. The more I become enlightened, the more I shall not be affected by all these miseries.

Go on.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Purport: "The word ''muni'' means one who can agitate his mind in various ways for mental speculation without coming to a factual conclusion."

Prabhupāda: Mental speculators are called ''muni''. There are so many ''munis''.

Go on.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "It is said that every ''muni'' has a different angle of vision, and unless one ''muni'' is different in view from another, he cannot be called a ''muni'' in the strict sense of the term. But a ''sthita-dhīr muni'', the kind mentioned herein by the Lord, is different from an ordinary ''muni''. The ''sthita-dhīr muni ''is always in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, for he has finished all his business with creative speculation. He is called ''praśānta-niḥśeṣa-mano-rathāntara'' (''Stotra-ratna'' 43), or one who has surpassed the stage of mental speculations and has come to the conclusion that Lord Sir Kṛṣṇa, Vāsudeva, is everything. He is called a muni fixed in mind."

"Such a fully Kṛṣṇa conscious person is not at all disturbed by the onslaughts of the threefold miseries—those due to nature, to other beings and to the frailties of one's own body. Such a ''muni'' accepts all misery as the mercy of the Lord, thinking himself only worthy of more trouble due to his past misdeeds, and sees that his miseries, by the grace of the Lord, are minimized to the lowest."

"Similarly, when he is happy, he gives credit to the Lord, thinking himself unworthy of that happiness. He realizes that it is due only to the Lord's grace that he is in such a comfortable condition and thus able to render better service to the Lord. And for the service of the Lord he is always . . ."

Prabhupāda: You mark this. When there is miseries, a Kṛṣṇa conscious person takes the responsibility himself, and when there is happiness, it is due to Kṛṣṇa. But the materialistic person is just the opposite. When he is in miseries, he'll say: "Oh, God has put me into such miseries."

And when he's happiness, his friend says: "Oh, you are now well-to-do," "Yes, you do not know how much I have worked hard." When he's happiness, he takes the credit for himself, and when he's in distress, he gives the discredit to Kṛṣṇa: "Oh, Kṛṣṇa has put me into such miserable . . ." You see?

But a Kṛṣṇa conscious person, when he's in distress, he'll say: "Yes, due to my misdeeds I should have suffered a hundred times more than this distress, but Kṛṣṇa is so kind, He has given me little. That's all." And when he's happiness, "Oh, it is all given by Kṛṣṇa. Therefore all the opulence should be utilized for Kṛṣṇa's service." This is the difference.

He's asking, Arjuna is asking, what are the symptoms of Kṛṣṇa conscious person. ''Sthita-prajña. Sthita-prajña'' means steadfast in intelligence. So these are the difference. I have read one speech, Chicago speech by late Vivekananda Swami. He's talking to the audience that, "You work so hard, why you give credit to God?" You see? If you find his Chicago speech, you'll see.

Go on.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "And for the service of the Lord he is always daring and active and is not influenced by attachment or detachment. Attachment means accepting things for one's own sense gratification, and detachment is the absence of such sensual attachment. But one fixed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness has neither attachment or detachment, because his life is dedicated in the service of the Lord. Consequently, he is not at all angry, even when his attempts are unsuccessful. A Kṛṣṇa conscious person is always steady in his determination."

Fifty-seven, "He who is without affection either for good or evil is firmly fixed in perfect knowledge."

Purport: "There is always some upheaval in the material world which may be good or evil. One who is not agitated by such material upheavals, who is without affection for the good or evil, is to be understood as fixed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. As long as one is in the material world there is always the possibility of good and evil, because this world is full of duality."

"But one who is fixed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness is not affected by good and evil, because he is simply concerned with Kṛṣṇa, who is all-good, absolute. Such consciousness in Kṛṣṇa situates one in the perfect transcendental position called, technically, ''samādhi''."

Fifty-eight, "One who is able to withdraw his senses from sense objects as the tortoise draws his limbs within the shell is to be understood as truly situated in knowledge."

Fifty-nine, "The embodied soul may be restricted from sense enjoyment, though the taste for sense objects remains, but ceasing such engagements by experiencing a higher taste, he is fixed in consciousness."

Sixty, "The senses are so strong and impetuous, O Arjuna, that they forcibly carry away the mind even of the man of discrimination who is endeavoring to control them."

Sixty-one, "One who restrains his senses and fixes his consciousness upon Me is known as a man of steady intelligence."

Prabhupāda: This is the conclusion of all symptoms. There are others also?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: One more.

Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Read it.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Sixty-two, "While contemplating the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment for them, and from such attachment lust develops, and from lust anger arises."

Oh . . . (indistinct) . . . there's a purport.

Prabhupāda: Stop there. So if there is any question, you can discuss.

Bīrabhadra: If some of these questions might be very stupid, and if any of them are, then just say they're stupid, then I can ask Viṣṇujana. The first one is, if you said: "Give me lots of money for Kṛṣṇa," are you a miser? Is that a stupid question? Is that a stupid question?

Prabhupāda: Yes. You first of all know who is miser and who is liberal. Do you know that?

Bīrabhadra: Miser is the one who wants all the money for himself and none of the money for Kṛṣṇa.

Prabhupāda: Yes. If you want money for Kṛṣṇa, then you are not miser. Just like you are working for this temple, and you ask Tamāla Kṛṣṇa, "Tamāla Kṛṣṇa Prabhu, please give me hundred dollars. I have to spend for this purpose." Is that bad? (laughter)

Bīrabhadra: If it's for Kṛṣṇa it's all right.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Bīrabhadra: Then my second question was: When Kṛṣṇa came here, did He take a spiritual master too?

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Bīrabhadra: He did? . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Yes. He not only took, accepted spiritual master, but He took all the risk to go into the jungle to bring wood for the spiritual master, fuel wood. One day it so happened the whole day they were in the forest, and Sudāmā Vipra and He, they both of them were entrapped. There was heavy rain, they could not come out, and the whole night they remained within the forest.

So not that because He was Kṛṣṇa, He did not accept any spiritual master or work for him. He took so much risk. He went to the forest. Otherwise, who will accept spiritual master if He does not show us the way? He comes to teach us. ''Yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati'' ([[BG 4.7 (1972)|BG 4.7]]): "When there is discrepancies in the discharge of Vedic rules and, ''abhyutthānam adharmasya'', and irreligious principles are too much rampant, then I appear." That is stated. So He teaches us how to acquire knowledge, how to behave. That is Kṛṣṇa, the purpose of His mission. He does not act any way which will be followed by somebody and he'll go to hell. No.

Bīrabhadra: My third question is when you had that heart attack, did you feel the pain?

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Bīrabhadra: You felt the pain?

Prabhupāda: Yes. Why shall I not?

Bīrabhadra: Well, because you're a pure devotee. I mean, you're pure, so you don't feel pain.

Prabhupāda: Huh?

Bīrabhadra: I thought you said in ''Bhagavad-gītā'' a pure devotee wouldn't feel pain, because he's always chanting and Kṛṣṇa will always protect him.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Pain was there, but it was not too much. The boys, the disciples, were chanting and I was chanting, so there was not so much. It was not so much painful. That is already explained. When there is distress, the devotee takes it that, "I am suffering for my past deeds, but I should have died at this moment, but Kṛṣṇa is simply giving me a little pain, that's all."

Actually, that was the thing. That day I should have . . . the heart attack was very severe. I should have died. Nobody survives such heart attack. But Kṛṣṇa saved me. That's all.

Bīrabhadra: And my fourth and last question is, are you in this world?

Prabhupāda: Hmm? (laughter)

Bīrabhadra: Are you in this world?

Prabhupāda: I am . . .?

Bīrabhadra: Are you in this world? I mean, you, are you . . .?

Prabhupāda: I'm not in this world. Yes.

Bīrabhadra: You're not in this world.

Prabhupāda: No. (chuckles)

Yes?

Devotee (1): I thought I heard it said that you are in this world without being a part of it. You are in the world without being a part of it, like the lotus flower which floats on the water.

Prabhupāda: Yes, that is the way. That is the way of understanding. Just like I am in America. It is very easy to understand. I am not adopting any ways of life as the Americans do, so I am not in America. Not only myself; all my disciples who are following me, they are also not Americans.

They're different from American behavior, American ways of life. In that sense I'm not in America, I am in Vṛndāvana, because wherever I go in my apartment or in my temple I live with Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa consciousness. I don't accept any consciousness of America. And I teach my disciples also to take to that consciousness. So one who takes to that consciousness, he is also not in America, not in this world.

It is . . . I have given this example in many times. Just like a king and a bug is sitting on the same throne. The bug is biting and the king is ruling. It is not that because the bug is there on the throne, he is king, or the king is sitting with the bug, he is bug. Why this difference? Difference of consciousness. The king knows his duty. He is working in his duty, therefore he's king. And the bug knows his business, to bite; therefore he's bug. But sitting on the same place. But because due to different consciousness, one is bug, one is king.

So if you take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness and if you remain in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, you don't belong to this world. You are no more bug; you are king. Change this consciousness. Even apparently you may seem to remain with the bug, you are no more bug. Is it clear?

Bīrabhadra: Yes.

Devotee (2): What's the difference . . .? I've heard terms like "incarnation," "expansion," and "plenary expansion," like Kṛṣṇa incarnates Himself, expands Himself . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes. Just as a person is in family, he is father—in office, he is boss and in some other place, he's something else. But the same man. But because we are materially conditioned, when I am in the office, I'm not in my home. While I am acting as boss in my office, I cannot act as father with children at home; I am absent. This is due to my material condition. But Kṛṣṇa, being full spiritual, He can remain in His abode, Goloka Vṛndāvana, at the same time, He can remain everywhere. That is expansion.

Just like Kṛṣṇa is living within your heart. ''Īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati'' ([[BG 18.61 (1972)|BG 18.61]]). The Supreme Lord is staying in everyone's heart. In the ''Brahma-saṁhitā'' it is stated, ''goloka eva nivasaty akhilātma-bhūtaḥ'' (Bs. 5.37). This is spiritual position, that even though He is in His abode permanently, He can remain in everyone's heart, all over the creation. Not only in the heart, but within every atom also. This is His expansion, plenary expansion. He expands . . . we are also His expansion. We living entities, we are also His expansion.

Nothing exists without being Kṛṣṇa. That is explained in the Ninth Chapter, ''mayā tatam idaṁ sarvam'': "I have expanded in all different atmosphere." ''Sarvam. Mat-sthāni sarva-bhūtāni'' ([[BG 9.4 (1972)|BG 9.4]]): "Everything existing in Me." ''Nāhaṁ teṣu avasthitaḥ'', "But I am not there. I am not there." You are existing in Kṛṣṇa, but unless you have Kṛṣṇa consciousness, Kṛṣṇa is not in you. But you are existing in Kṛṣṇa. You cannot exist without Kṛṣṇa. So therefore Kṛṣṇa is everywhere, Kṛṣṇa is in everything. We have to develop that consciousness. That will make me happy.

Yes?

Jaya-gopāla: I've often been told that when you become ''dvija'', then we would not incur any more karmic reaction by our actions, but also I . . . I . . .

Prabhupāda: When you become ''dvija'', twice-born. Yes. Twice-born means you come to the point of understanding Kṛṣṇa consciousness. When you take your birth from your parents, your consciousness is different. Just like the child, his consciousness is different, but when he's grown-up, if he takes to knowledge, if he tries to understand Kṛṣṇa, his consciousness is different. So when one takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, that is the beginning of his second birth, ''dvija''.

Jaya-gopāla: Well, I've been told then that we can have no more karmic reaction from our actions.

Prabhupāda: Yes. If you take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then there is no more reaction of your ''karma''.

Jaya-gopāla: I've also been told that if we are serving someone, we can cause them to return to render us some service.

Prabhupāda: Well, you must be in service somebody if it is in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. You cannot create your service independently. Then your service has no reaction. ''Yajñārthāt karmaṇo 'nyatra loko 'yaṁ karma-bandhanaḥ'' ([[BG 3.9 (1972)|BG 3.9]]). Kṛṣṇa consciousness means you have no more any personal activity. Person . . . because your person is also related to Kṛṣṇa, how you can act personally? You have to simply act in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is dedication. That is surrender. But you can act individually because you are individual soul; you have got that independence. But that will not make him happy. If he acts individually then he will never be happy. But if you act Kṛṣṇa consciously, then you will be happy.

That is the whole instruction of ''Bhagavad-gītā''. And the last instruction, ''sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇam'' ([[BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]]): "You give up all other activities, as you have manufactured by different consciousness. Just surrender unto Me." ''Ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣayiṣyāmi'': "I shall give you protection from all sinful reaction."

Yes?

Devotee (2): Prabhupāda, I have heard from different sources that there is a vibration that is going on in the universe at all times. When they refer to this vibration, are they referring to the ''oṁ'', the sacred ''oṁ'' vibration?

Prabhupāda: First of all, you should stop to receive any knowledge from any other source.

Devotee (2): Well, I'm not taking it as knowledge, I'm just . . .

Prabhupāda: No, you said that, "I have heard from different sources."

Devotee (2): From people on the street that I've talked to.

Prabhupāda: Yes. So what is that question?

Devotee (2): They talk about the vibration that's going on in the universe at, uh, at all times, and they talk about vibrating with this vibration, and uttering this vibration, and that this is what they're after.

Prabhupāda: Yes, any vibration, there is sound. So there is . . . the sound is heard ''oṁkāra''. That is also accepted in the ''Bhagavad-gītā''. So there is no objection accepting this . . .

Devotee (2): They talk about this as the ultimate stage of . . .

Prabhupāda: Then you have to accept their statement, not the ''Bhagavad-gītā''. Therefore I say that you don't hear from all sources. Because they have said that that is the ultimate, would you accept that?

Devotee (2): No, I don't accept. I just want to know if it is the ''oṁ'' vibration that they're referring to.

Prabhupāda: ''Oṁ'' vibration is there. ''Oṁ ''is also representation of Kṛṣṇa. That is also accepted. But that is not ultimate. Ultimate is Kṛṣṇa. Just like there is some vibration, some source. You go, go, proceed, wherefrom this vibration is coming.

If you find whether here is a horn, from this . . . or conchshell, here is vibration. So that unless you reach that point . . . that is ultimate, not that vibration. Suppose I am vibrating conchshell. There is a huge sound. But is that vibration ultimate? Or the conchshell wherefrom the vibration is emanating, the conchshell is ultimate?

The conchshell sound is going beyond this temple. Does it mean that conchshell sound is bigger than the conchshell? The vibration of the conchshell, apparently it seem to be very great, but does it mean it is great? The great is the conchshell where from the vibration is coming.

That is the ultimate source. So ''oṁkāra'' vibration is all over the universe. That's all right. But wherefrom it is coming? That you have to search out. When you search out, you'll find Kṛṣṇa. Therefore Kṛṣṇa is the ultimate, not the vibration. Is that clear? Yes.

The same example: The sunshine, all over the universe it is spread. Does it make it is greater than the sun? The sun is the source of the sunshine. So similarly, ''brahmaṇo 'ham pratiṣṭha'' ([[BG 14.27 (1972)|BG 14.27]]), "I am the source of Brahman, the effulgence." That's a fact. Brahman is not greater than Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is greater than Brahman. ''Mattaḥ parataro nāsti''. You will find in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'', "There is no more greater truth than Me." These people, they cannot understand. Less intelligent.

The same example: Because they see that the sunshine is spreading all over the universe, therefore it is more important, greater than the sun planet. But actually it is not. The simple truth. And if you go into the sun planet you will find Vivasvān, the sun-god, is there. The sun planet is so dazzling due to his presence. Similarly, with all impersonal conception, when you reach Kṛṣṇa, then you reach to the goal.

There are so many crude examples. Just like your country, there are so many departmental government businesses going on, this department, that department, all over the country. The whole thing is concentrate in the President. How can I deny it?

The everything is going on on the finger's end of the President. This is a crude example. Similarly, ultimately, unless there is the Supreme Person on the background . . . that . . . Hayagrīva has brought one book, Evidence of God. So many scientists they have written in that book, and they have agreed that if God is there, He must be person. He must be person. Is not that, Hayagrīva?

Hayagrīva: Yes.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Very big, big scientist, astronomers, mathematicians, they have written in that book, Evidence of Existence of God. And they have all agreed that if there is God at all, He must be person; He cannot be imperson. And God says personally, "There is no greater truth than Me. Arjuna, there is no greater truth than Me." ''Ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavaḥ'' ([[BG 10.8 (1972)|BG 10.8]]): "I am the source of all energy." So God says, Arjuna says, Vyāsa says, Nārada says; why should we hear a street man? (laughter) (laughs) A man in the street, is he greater than Nārada? Is he greater than Vyāsa? He is greater than Kṛṣṇa? Then why should I hear him? You should ask him, "Please, keep your theory with you. We are greater authority than you." Yes.

Yes?

Jaya-gopāla: If we are on the street and collecting money and we are thinking, "Oh, I am a very good collector, I am collecting so nicely, but he still gives . . . (indistinct) . . ."

Prabhupāda: Yes. Yes. You are very good collector for Kṛṣṇa.

Jaya-gopāla: But if we . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes, yes, you should be proud, you should feel proud, "I am working for Kṛṣṇa very nicely." (laughter) We don't reject anything. Even this pride, yes. "I am greater servant of Kṛṣṇa. Yes, I am proud." That pride is nice. Yes?

Guest or devotee: This might be a stupid question, but, like, uh . . .

Prabhupāda: Well, we are all stupids. (laughter) So questions must be stupid.

Guest or devotee: In ''yoga'' I've heard a lot about . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes, because we are stupids, we must have . . . just like he says: "I have heard in the street." You see? We have to hear everything from Kṛṣṇa, then it is perfect.

Guest or devotee: Well, uh, sometimes I feel, uh, what they call ''cakras''. Like I feel very light over here, and I feel something swirling over here that I think they call the thousand-petalled lotus. Is this just my imagination, or are these things real?

Prabhupāda: Yes, it is imagination. If you just open your skull, you will find no lotus there. (laughter) So it is your imagination, that's all. These imaginations are prescribed for persons who are too much absorbed in this bodily concept of life. "Here is a lotus, here is a ''manaḥ sarovara'', and here is ocean of bliss, here is . . . oh, you have to find out," just to make him concentrate.

Just like a naughty boy, to make him stop nonsense doing, "Please sit down here. Stop this all." Our proposition: "I am not this body. Even there is lotus, I don't care for it." Do you follow? I am not this body. Even there is lotus, what I have to do with this lotus? My first proposition is I am not this body.

Guest or devotee: But in, I think, in air, in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' somewhere it says that at death you're supposed to, uh, concentrate on the air at the top of the head, which . . .

Prabhupāda: That concentration, in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' I do not know where it is, but in the ''yoga'' system the concentration is to think of Him, Viṣṇu. Not of the lotus in the head. Yes?

Devotee (4): Is it true that the Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya ''mantra'' is more powerful than the ''mahā-mantra''?

Prabhupāda: Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya and ''mahā-mantra'' the same. Kṛṣṇa and His name is same. Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya and Hare Kṛṣṇa is the same. ''Śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya rādhā-kṛṣṇa nahe anya'' (''Śrī Guru-paramparā'' 6). Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya is combination of Hare and Kṛṣṇa. So there is no difference. They are all the same. But because we receive through the mercy of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya, Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya has appeared to deliver us this ''mahā-mantra''; therefore, we first of all pray Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya that "Give us strength to receive Hare Kṛṣṇa."

Therefore we chant ''śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya prabhu nityānanda'' . . . just like you offer your respect to the spiritual master first. That does not mean that spiritual master is greater than Kṛṣṇa.

But a spiritual master is mercy manifestation of Kṛṣṇa; therefore ''śāstra'' says that you should offer him the same respect as to Kṛṣṇa. But by that way, a spiritual master does not think that, "I have become greater than Kṛṣṇa." Then he is a Māyāvādī, or equal . . . (break) (end)

Prabhupāda: . . . worship prevents snake biting. That is a village worship. So in every demigod worship there are drum beaters. So a party of drum beaters was engaged, and when the fees, bill, of the drum beaters was to be paid, the demigod mansa was sold. They could not pay the bills. Similarly, we may print our books, but the binding charges are so high, then it will cost more than getting it from Japan. (chuckles)

Jayānanda looks like Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. (laughter) Yes. He was tall and stout and strong, Caitanya Mahāprabhu. (laughing) Yes. Very good. And in Vṛndāvana, when Kīrtanānanda was given ''sannyāsa'', he was looking so nice with this dress and daṇḍa, oh, practically all the devotees of Vṛndāvana came to offer him respect. Yes.

On Janmāṣṭamī day I offered him ''sannyāsa''. So, many devotees came to see in the temple. So there was a big crowd. He was looking very nice. Caitanya Mahāprabhu was also very fair-complexioned. So with this dress, persons with fair complexion looks very nice, very attractive.

So people are not attracted with this dress in ''kīrtana'' party? (laughs) This bare head with ''tilaka'' and this dress, they will know that they are coming from . . . directly from the kingdom of God. (laughs) (laughter) Actually it is so. They have forgotten God; otherwise they would have received these ''brahmacārīs'' so nicely. In India, oh, you'll be received just like gods with this dress. Hundreds and thousands of people will come to receive you. Yes.

(aside) That is sufficient.

(''kīrtana'') (''prema-dhvani'') Thank you very much. (devotees offer obeisances)

So how Bīrabhadra is feeling? He has got pains in the body?

Viṣṇujana: He's all right.

Prabhupāda: All right. Eating all right? Eating? (Bīrabhadra answers; Prabhupāda can't hear) Hmm? Chanting all right? All right. Thanks. (chuckles) I was just searching you, missing you. You are here. (chuckles) Thank you. Hare Kṛṣṇa. (''japa'')

(begins fire sacrifice)

Do like that. As I have done. Yes. Take water. Yes. Little, little. Yes. Once more. Three times. Yes. Yes. Take water. Take water little, wash hands, throw it here. That's all. Like that. Now you do like that. Little, little. Keep it there.

(chants with devotees responding)

:''namaḥ apavitraḥ pavitra vā''
:''sarvāvasthāṁ gato 'pi vā''
:''yaḥ smaret puṇḍarīkākṣaṁ''
:''sa bahyābhyantaraḥ śuciḥ''
:(''Garuḍa Purāṇa'')

:śrī viṣṇu, śrī viṣṇu, śrī viṣṇu

Now do it again like that. (''japa'')

Keep there.

:''namaḥ apavitraḥ pavitra vā''
:''sarvāvasthāṁ gato 'pi vā''
:''yaḥ smaret puṇḍarīkākṣaṁ''
:''sa bahyābhyantaraḥ śuciḥ''

:śrī viṣṇu, śrī viṣṇu, śrī viṣṇu

Do it again. (''japa'')

Now the purport of this ''mantra'' I have several times explained, again explaining. ''Namaḥ. Namaḥ'' means surrender. ''Namaḥ oṁ namaḥ'', this is the way of chanting Vedic ''mantra''. ''Oṁ'' means addressing the Absolute, and ''namaḥ'' means "I am surrendering."

Every Vedic ''mantra'' is begun ''oṁ namaḥ. Oṁ'' means addressing. So this ''mantra'' is chanted with surrender, ''namaḥ''. Nothing can be done without surrender, because our this conditional life is rebellious life. We have rebelled against the supremacy of the Personality of Godhead. That is conditioned life.

There are so many theses to support this rebellious condition. Somebody is thinking that "I am one with God"; somebody is thinking, "God is dead"—somebody is thinking, "There is no God"—somebody is thinking, "Why you are searching God? There are so many Gods loitering in the street." So in this way many theses are there.

All of them are different symptoms of rebellious condition. The sum and substance . . . just like atheists, they are boldly saying, "Oh, there is no God." Now . . . but the impersonalists saying: "There may be God, but He has no head, He has no tail. That's all." So in this way our condition is rebellious condition.

Therefore ''Bhagavad-gītā'' instructs that "You surrender." ''Sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja'' ([[BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]]). So without surrender, there is no question of making any spiritual progress. Just like a person who has rebelled against the government—the first condition is to surrender, otherwise there is no question of mercy from the government. Similarly anyone, the living entity, any one of us who has rebelled against the supremacy of the Lord, the beginning of spiritual life is surrender.

So this ''mantra'', initiation, ''namaḥ. Namaḥ'' means surrender. And who can surrender? Surrender . . . one who has understood the Lord, he can surrender, as it is stated in the ''Bhagavad-gītā, bahūnāṁ janmanām ante jñānavān māṁ prapadyate'' ([[BG 7.19 (1972)|BG 7.19]]): After many, many births of cultivation of knowledge, when one is perfectly wise, at that time he surrenders. Perfection of acquiring knowledge, or wisdom, is to surrender. So, ''namaḥ. Namaḥ'' means "I surrender." And what is your condition? Never mind what is that condition. ''Apavitraḥ pavitro vā. Apavitraḥ'' means contaminated, and ''pavitra'' means liberated.

So we have two conditions. Either . . . just like either we are healthy or we are diseased. There is no third condition. Crude example. Similarly, the living entities, they have two conditions. One condition is liberation, another condition is contaminated.

Therefore living entity is called marginal, in between contamination and liberation. Either a living entity can be contaminated or liberated. There is no third condition. Therefore this ''mantra'' says, ''apavitraḥ pavitro vā''. Either contaminated or liberated, it doesn't matter.

''Namo apavitraḥ pavitro, sarvāvasthām. Sarva'' means all, ''avasthām'' means condition. In any condition. ''Sarvāvasthāṁ gato 'pi vā''. In whatever condition you may be. Because two condition there are. For the living entities . . . the living entity is in the marginal position.

Either he can be in material nature or in the spiritual nature. The spiritual nature means liberation, and material nature means contamination. So in this ''mantra'' it is said in either of the condition, never mind, either you are in material condition or spiritual condition.

''Sarvāvasthāṁ gato 'pi vā. Vā'' means either; ''yaḥ'', anyone; ''smaret, smaret ''means remembers; ''puṇḍarīkākṣam. Puṇḍarīkākṣam'' means whose eyes are just like lotus petal. That means Kṛṣṇa or Viṣṇu. ''Yaḥ smaret puṇḍarīkākṣaṁ sa bahya . . . bahya'' means externally. Externally, this body. ''Abhyantaram. Abhyantaram'' means internally. Internally I am spirit. Just like internally, within this dress, I am internally.

Externally I am this dress. Similarly, ''yaḥ smaret puṇḍarīkākṣam''. Either he is in the bodily concept of life or he is in the spiritual concept of life, either he is contaminated or he is liberated—in any condition, one who remembers Kṛṣṇa or Viṣṇu, ''bahyābhyantaram'', he immediately becomes purified internally and externally. This is the substance of this ''mantra''.

And at the last we are chanting ''śrī viṣṇu śrī viṣṇu śrī viṣṇu''. Because it may not be misunderstood that in this verse it is said that ''yaḥ smaret puṇḍarīkākṣam'', "anyone who remembers the lotus-eyed." So somebody may think, "My such-and-such lover is lotus-eyed," or in that way, lotus-eyed. There may be so many lotus-eyed. Therefore at last it is specifically said, ''śrī viṣṇu śrī viṣṇu śrī viṣṇu''. "Lotus-eyed" means Viṣṇu, not anybody else. ''Śrī viṣṇu śrī viṣṇu''. This is the basic principle of devotional life.

In ''Nārada Pañcarātra'' it is recommended . . . we are explaining these things in Devotional . . . ''Nectar of Devotion''. The basic principle of purification is ''smartavyaḥ satato viṣṇuḥ'', always one has to remember Viṣṇu or Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa and Viṣṇu the same. When you speak Kṛṣṇa, it includes Viṣṇu. So ''smartavyaḥ satato viṣṇu vismartavyaḥ na jātucit''.

We shall not forget Viṣṇu even for a moment. This is the basic principle of devotional life. Some way or other, we have to remember always Kṛṣṇa. Then whatever condition we may be, we are pure. ''Sa bahyābhyantaraṁ śuciḥ''. This chanting helps us always remembering Kṛṣṇa. As soon as we chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, hear, immediately we remember.

So, so long I remember, I am ''śuciḥ'', I am pure, no material contamination. Therefore if I continue my life in that pure stage, then I am eligible for going back to Godhead. Because nobody can enter in the kingdom of God without being completely pure. Completely pure means ''anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyam'' (''Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu'' 1.1.11), no material desire. Here in the material world, we manufacture so many plans to be happy, material desires. Somebody's thinking, "I shall be happy in this way." Somebody's thinking . . . "There is no question of happiness here". The place is contaminated. In a contaminated . . . just like in an infected place you cannot be happy. The medical officer will ask you to leave that place that, "This quarter has been infected by the disease. Better you leave, you go somewhere else." That is the treatment. Infected place must be left immediately.

So similarly, this world, this material world of three modes of different qualities, you have to keep yourself always antiseptic, pure, by remembering Kṛṣṇa. That is the process. As soon as you forget Kṛṣṇa, immediately the infection, ''māyā'', immediately affects you. ''Kṛṣṇa bhūliya jīva bhoga-vāñchā kare'' (''Prema-vivarta''). What is that ''māyā? Māyā'' means to plan how to become materially happy. This is ''māyā''. All the people of the world, they are simply making plan how they will be happy within this material world. That's all. This is ''māyā''.

The history of the whole world studied, it is experience that the Roman Empire planned, the British Empire planned, the . . . so many empires, they flourish sometimes, all fail. The Britishers, they were, two hundred years ago, they were planning to rule over this vast land of America. George Washington declared independence; their plan failed. Similarly, in India they were planning to exploit.

Now Gandhi's movement made it fail. So this is bigger plan. Similarly smaller plan also. There are many . . . individually, we make so many plans that, "I shall be happy in this way, in that way, in that way." So this plan-making business is ''māyā'', because that will never be successful. Trace out the history of the whole world. Nobody has become happy. Hitler made a plan, so great a plan. You see? He was frustrated.

So the sane man, intelligent man . . . therefore ''Bhagavad-gītā'' says that a person who is actually intelligent, wise . . . how a man becomes wise? After being baffled or frustrated many, many times, he can understand this is not the process. And the ''Vedānta-sūtra'' also places the first, ''athāto brahma jijñāsā''.

When one is frustrated in all plan-making business, for him, the ''Vedānta-sūtra'' gives him the opportunity, "Now your all plans have failed. Come here." ''Athāto brahma jijñāsā'': "Now try to understand what is Brahman." This is the first aphorism of ''Vedānta-sūtra''. "Just try to understand Brahman."

So in this way . . . this initiation also. Initiation means the first beginning, how to become purified. This is initiation. Because this devotional service means the process of purification. Now every one of you, individually you can understand how you are becoming purified from your past life. That is practical. Yes.

How you are becoming purified. So this initiation means the beginning of purificatory process. And the purificatory process, what is that? This ''mantra'', ''yaḥ smaret puṇḍarīkākṣaṁ sa bahyābhyantaraṁ śuciḥ''. Anyone who always remembers, or whenever he remembers, if not always, as soon as he remembers, ''puṇḍarīkākṣaṁ sa bahyābhyantaraṁ śuciḥ'', he becomes immediately purified internally and externally.

So those who are going to be initiated today, they should remember that . . . not only they, all of us should remember. It is not that we have passed all examination. No. ''Māyā ''is very strong. Any moment she can catch up. (chuckles) As soon as . . . just like a virulent type of disease, as soon as there is little negligence, there is relapse immediately, typhoid.

So the doctors take very much precautionary steps in the, what is called, convalescent stage of cure, because there is chance of relapse. Similarly, we are trying to be purified. This initiation means, do accept the path of purification. Now we have to continue that path of purification, and then, if you are strong enough, then we can very easily make progress to achieve the ultimate result. There is no doubt about it.

So ''bhakti-mārga'', this devotional service, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, means to remember always Kṛṣṇa. ''Smartavyaḥ satato viṣṇuḥ vismartavyaḥ na jātucit''. This is the basic principle, Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We should always remember Kṛṣṇa and we shall never forget. And the very simple method, that we chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. So Kṛṣṇa has given us tongue, so we can utilize it, and this is the beginning of spiritual life. This is the beginning of understanding God, or Kṛṣṇa. Otherwise we cannot understand what is God.

''Ataḥ śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāmadi na bhaved grāhyam indriyaiḥ'' ([[CC Madhya 17.136]]). ''Nāmadi'', God has name. People say: "Why there should be name of God? He has no name." The impersonalist says "nameless." Why? The ''Vedānta-sūtra ''says, ''janmādy asya yataḥ'', "Everything is generated from Him." So if there is name, you have got name, I have got name, anything . . . this tape recorder has got name, this plate has got name, the place has got name, the carpet has got name, and simply God has no name? Why? (laughs) Just see the fallacy. The fountainhead of all names is God, and He has no name. You see? He is zero. These are the arguments. But we don't accept.

The thing is, they do not know the name, because their senses are not purified. You cannot understand God by imperfect senses. Therefore ''Bhāgavata'' says, ''ataḥ śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāmadi. Nāmadi. Nāma'' means name; ''adi'', because name is the beginning of everything. Just like if I want to make friendship with you, I ask you, "What is your name?" That is the beginning. If you go to the court, before beginning the judgment, "What is your name? What is your father's name?" You submit any application, "What is your name?" So ''nāmadi''.

So if we want to understand the Supreme Absolute Truth, we should begin from the name, Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, the name, the holy name. But we cannot understand whether this is the name of God, due to our imperfect senses. Therefore the formula is, ''ataḥ śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāmadi na bhaved grāhyam indriyaiḥ'' ([[CC Madhya 17.136]]). You cannot understand. Just like we are chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, somebody is taking pleasure in hearing the name of Kṛṣṇa. Somebody may say, "What is this nonsense? They are disturbing," because he has no knowledge of the name.

But this name . . . not only name. ''Nāmadi'', beginning from name. First of all name, then quality, then form, then pastimes, then entourage. In this way God has everything. When we say: "king," "king" means his kingdom, his palace, his secretary, his queen, so many, his government, his . . . go on expanding, so many things, simply by one word, "king." "King" does not mean simply one person. Similarly, when we say "God" or "Kṛṣṇa," immediately it is to be understood that He has so many things behind Him. So many. The whole world is behind Him.

So how to understand? ''Ataḥ śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāmadi''. His name, His quality, His form, His entourage, His expansion. ''Na bhaved grāhyam indriyaiḥ''. These ''indriya'', these senses, materially contaminated, cannot understand, cannot grasp what is the name of Kṛṣṇa, what is the form of Kṛṣṇa, what is the quality of Kṛṣṇa. Then? "Why you are taking so much trouble? If by these senses we cannot understand Kṛṣṇa, then what is the use of wasting time?" No.

The next line is, ''sevonmukhe hi jihvādau svayam eva sphuraty adaḥ'': you cannot understand by exercising your senses, but He reveals. To whom? Who is in the service attitude, ''jihvādau'', beginning from the tongue. ''Sevonmukhe hi jihvādau''. Of all the senses, the tongue is considered to be the principal sense. So tongue, if the tongue is trained, or the tongue is spiritualized, then naturally all the senses become spiritualized. So ''jihvādau''.

So our training is the tongue training. Train it chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa and let it taste ''kṛṣṇa-prasādam''. Then what will be? The all other senses . . . there are five senses for acquiring knowledge, five senses for acting. Everything will be controlled. And devotional service, or Kṛṣṇa consciousness, means ''sarvopādhi-vinirmuktaṁ tat-paratvena nirmalam'' ([[CC Madhya 19.170]]). By contacting relationship with Kṛṣṇa, the senses become purified. And what is the symptom of purification? ''Sarvopādhi-vinirmuktam'', to become uncontaminated by the designative material identification. There are so many things.

So the process of Kṛṣṇa consciousness is purification of the senses, and the purification of senses begins by training the tongue with service spirit. So those who are going to be initiated, they should, especial . . . everyone should note it, that we should train our tongue not to talk nonsense things. You see? Simply talk of Kṛṣṇa.

We have got so many subject matter. We have got ''Bhagavad-gītā'', we have got ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'', we have got Teachings of Lord Caitanya—so many books, hundreds and thousands, ''Upaniṣads'', ''Veda, Vedānta'', any one you select—talk. Just like Ambarīṣa. ''Sa vai manaḥ kṛṣṇa-padāravindayor vacāṁsi vaikuṇṭha-guṇānuvarṇane'' ([[SB 9.4.18-20|SB 9.4.18]]). Mahārāja Ambarīṣa, he set a very nice example, that he fixed up his mind on the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, and when he was speaking, he was talking about Kṛṣṇa.

So just try to utilize your tongue. It doesn't matter whether it is contaminated or purified, but the process is purificatory. You just train your tongue nicely, engage in Kṛṣṇa. So if you can talk, you go, preach, talk of Kṛṣṇa, talk of ''Bhagavad-gītā, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'', lecture anywhere. Then you'll be doing the best service to the people and to yourself. If you think that you are unable to give speeches, then you chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and eat ''prasādam''. So there is no difficulty. So train the tongue. ''Sevonmukhe hi jihvādau'' (''Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu'' 1.2.234). Beginning from the tongue, you shall be able to purify all your senses. And as soon as your senses are purified, you'll see Kṛṣṇa, you'll understand what is Kṛṣṇa, what is His name, what is His form, what is His kingdom—everything will be.

''Svayam eva sphuraty adaḥ''. You haven't got to endeavor. As soon as your senses are purified, Kṛṣṇa is present, just like as soon as the night is over, the sun is present. You cannot search out sun in the darkness. You simply wait for the morning and the sun is at your door. Similarly, try to drive away the darkness, and Kṛṣṇa you'll see. You'll see, "Oh, Kṛṣṇa is not dead. He's so nice."

So this initiation means beginning of purificatory process of the senses, and that beginning with the tongue. Very simple method. We are not asking you to show some gymnastic feats, or . . . no. Simply try to control your tongue. It is in your hand. And what is the means of controlling? Just engage chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa and take ''kṛṣṇa-prasādam''. Some others will supply you nice ''prasādam''. You see? It is very easy.

Don't take anything which is not Kṛṣṇa ''prasādam'' and don't talk anything which is not Kṛṣṇa. Then you become liberated. Your path of liberation is open. Two things—don't talk anything except Kṛṣṇa, don't eat anything except Kṛṣṇa ''prasādam''. Is it very difficult? (laughter) Hmm. All right.

Now give me your beads. Yes. Beginning from here. Somebody tie his small beads. Chant, you. (''japa'') (Prabhupāda chants on beads) Bow down. Bow down here.

:''nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale''
:''śrīmate bhaktivedānta-svāmin iti nāmine''

So you'll begin from one side like this, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare / Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. Come to this side. You will ask your Godbrothers. They'll let you know how they are doing. And your spiritual name is Aravinda. Aravinda. A-r-a-v-i-n-d-a. Aravinda. Aravindākṣa. Kṛṣṇa's another name is Aravindākṣa. Aravinda means lotus flower.

Devotees: Oh!

Prabhupāda: Yes. So Kṛṣṇa's eyes are just like lotus petal and His feet is lotus feet. His abdomen, from abdomen lotus grows. So therefore in one word He is lotus, full lotus.

(aside) He's in painful condition?

Viṣṇujana: He has to rest. He has to rest now. (boy crying in background)

Prabhupāda: Just catch him. Oh. Aravindākṣa is Kṛṣṇa's name. So Aravinda dāsa, your name. Aravinda dāsa brahmacārī. Now we have forgotten to chant the preliminary mantras.

Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. (''japa'')

(Prabhupāda chants on devotee's beads)

Bow down.

:''nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale''
:''śrīmate bhaktivedānta-svāmin iti nāmine''

Śrīvāsa . . . now, you are finished. Take it. Your name is Gajendra.

Gajendra: Gajendra?

Prabhupāda: Yes. G-a-j-e-n-d-r-a. Gajendra. ''Gaja'' means elephant, and ''indra'' means king. King of the elephants.

Devotees: Hare Kṛṣṇa!

Prabhupāda: So there was a great devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa who was king of the elephants. So you shall bring some elephants for us for preaching work. Come on.

(aside) You have got printed ten kinds of offenses? They should be . . . to avoid the offenses.

Devotee: Right here.

Devotee (2): In the back room.

Revatīnandana: Where in the back room?

Prabhupāda: Now, give me.

Revatīnandana: Here it is, Prabhupāda. Should I read, Prabhupāda?

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Revatīnandana: "The ten offenses to avoid in chanting the ''mahā-mantra''. The first is blaspheming the Lord's devotee." Just read them?

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Revatīnandana: "Second, considering the Lord and other demigods on the same level."

Prabhupāda: This is very important point, blaspheming the devotees. The Lord's devotee, in many countries, many places . . . just like Lord Jesus Christ, he's also devotee of Lord. Muhammad, he's also devotee of Lord. So it is not that because we are Kṛṣṇa conscious, we shall unnecessarily decry any other parts, any other devotee.

It may be, according to time, place and country, the method may be different, but anyone who is preaching devotion to God, he's a devotee of God. So he should never be blasphemed. Yes.

Revatīnandana: "Two. Considering the Lord and other demigods on the same level."

Prabhupāda: Yes. One should not put the Supreme Personality of Godhead . . . just like the Māyāvādī says: "The demigods and God, they are all the same." Because according to them, God has no form, so any form you accept, imagine, as the form of God, it is as good. But that is not the fact. There are demigods and the Supreme God also. So we should not place . . . just like demigod, Lord Brahmā or Lord Śiva, Indra, Candra, they are demigods. So we should not place . . .

In one sense, there is nothing except God, because everything expansion of God. But that does not mean I am equal to God. I am also expansion of God. That's a fact. Just like father and the son. Son is the expansion of father, still, the son is not the father. Don't mistake that. There is no difference between father and son, because the same body is expanded as son, but still, the son is not the father. Father is father, son is son. This, I mean to say, variety, the Māyāvādī philosophers, they do not understand. Then?

Revatīnandana: ". . . or assuming that there are many Gods."

Prabhupāda: God is one. There cannot be many Gods. If God is not one, there is no meaning of God. God means, according to Vedic definition, ''asamordhva''. ''Asama'' means one who has no equal. Nobody is equal to God. And ''urdhva'' means nobody is greater than God. God is great. Nobody can be greater than God. Therefore God is one. Nobody is greater, nobody is equal. That means everyone is lower. Then?

Revatīnandana: "Neglecting the orders of the spiritual master."

Prabhupāda: Yes. This is one offense. These are offenses. When we accept spiritual master, it is understood that you cannot deny his order. Just like Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna was talking as friends, but when Arjuna accepted Kṛṣṇa as spiritual master, he was simply hearing, and whenever there was difficulty to understand, he was questioning. Not that he was equally arguing with Kṛṣṇa. Before accepting Him, he was arguing.

So this is the position. Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, He said that, "My spiritual master found Me a great fool." Caitanya Mahāprabhu is not a fool, but it is the good qualification of a disciple to remain a fool before the spiritual master. Therefore he'll never . . . I mean to say, dare to argue or disobey. That is offense.

Now, go on. That does not mean that when you cannot understand, you cannot question. Question must be there. That is stated in this ''Bhagavad-gītā'', ''tad viddhi praṇipātena paripraśnena sevayā'' ([[BG 4.34 (1972)|BG 4.34]]). Our relationship is to know from a spiritual master everything, but you should know that with three things. What is that? First of all you should surrender. You must accept the spiritual master as greater than you. Otherwise what is the use of accepting one spiritual master? ''Praṇipāt''.

''Praṇipāt'' means surrendering; and ''paripraśna'', and questioning; and ''sevā'', and service. There must be two sides, service and surrender, and in the middle there must be question. Otherwise there is no question and answer. Two things must be there: service and surrender. Then answer of question is nice. Yes.

Revatīnandana: "The fourth offense is minimizing the authority of the ''Vedas''."

Prabhupāda: Yes. Scriptures, authority of ''Vedas'', they must be accepted. Just like the other day I was explaining, the ''Veda'' says the conchshell is pure, although it is a bone of an animal. In other places ''Veda'' gives you the injunction that bone of an animal is impure. But it says the conchshell is pure. It can be placed before the Deity, it can be used in the Deity room in His service.

Now there may be argument, "Oh, this is a bone of an animal. How is that? Contradiction." No. So one should accept the injunction of the ''Vedas'' like that. Whenever it says this is impure, it is impure; when it says it is pure, it is pure. Now, if there is any doubt, that should be understood by questioning submissively and with service from the spiritual master. The spiritual master is there.

Then? But we should always accept the injunction of the scripture as truth. Just like there is a proverb, "Bible truth," "Bibilical truth." Nobody can deny Bible. This should be the attitude. Bible is also part of ''Vedas''. Therefore Vedic injunction should be accepted as it is, without any interpretation.

Just like ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is ''Veda''. Why ''Veda''? The Supreme Personality of Godhead personally speaking; therefore it is ''Veda''. There is no mistake. One should accept—no interpretation—as it is. Therefore we are presenting ''Bhagavad-gītā'' As It Is.

Yes. Go on.

Revatīnandana: "The fifth offense is interpreting the holy names of God."

Prabhupāda: Yes. No interpretation in the holy . . . just like Kṛṣṇa, the Māyāvādī philosophers may . . . just like Gandhi has written, "Pāṇḍava means the senses—Kurukṣetra means this body, Kṛṣṇa means the mind." No such nonsense interpretation. Kṛṣṇa is Kṛṣṇa.

Yes. Go on.

Revatīnandana: "The sixth offense is committing sin on the strength of chanting."

Prabhupāda: Yes. Now we have explained the ''mantra'' that as soon as one chants Hare Kṛṣṇa, immediately, ''bahyābhyantaraḥ śuciḥ'', he becomes purified. Now if one takes advantage of this holy name, "Let me commit sins . . ." Just like sometimes in the Christian church, they take advantages that by confessing sin one becomes free from sinful reaction.

So go to church and confess, and again come out and do all sorts of sins, and again confess. This sort of (laughs) minimizing is a nonsense. It is fact. When you confess before the church, before God, you are free from all sinful action. That's all right. But if you commit again, then next confession will not be accepted.

They do not know this. You cannot . . . suppose a child has committed some mistake. Father says: "All right, don't do this." If he again does it, oh, there is no excuse. They do not know that. They think, "We shall commit sin and go to church and confess and finish. So let us do this balancing business." Yes.

Similarly, don't do this balancing business that, "Because chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa will wash off all my accounts of sinful activities, so in the morning, from morning to night, let me do all kinds of sinful activities, and at night, at bedtime, let me chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Then finish." No. (laughs) Don't do that. Don't do that. That is the greatest offense. Yes. You'll never be forgiven.

Those who purposely do like that—"I have got very nice instrument for washing off my sinful activities. So whole day let me do all sinful activities, and at night let me chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Let me meditate. That's all. Finish." No. You should note that the name, the holy name, has got the power. Now, from this date, you are free from all sinful activities, reaction. But don't do it. That is the greatest offense. Yes.

Revatīnandana: "The seventh offense is instructing the Lord's name to the unfaithful."

Prabhupāda: Yes. Those who do not believe in God, atheists, what is the use of . . .? But not to bother him, but give him the chance of hearing. That will make him competent to come forward. Therefore we are distributing this holy name. Not that everyone will be immediately turned to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, but we are giving chance.

If they hear . . . you have got practical experience, somebody's hearing, he's reforming. So we should give chance. But if one is staunch atheist, we should not talk very much with him about Kṛṣṇa. He may say something against, offensive. Yes.

Then?

Revatīnandana: "The eighth offense is comparing the holy name to material piety."

Prabhupāda: Yes. And another thing, just like we are holding this ceremony, initiation ceremony. It should not be accepted just we are functioning some ritualistic ceremony. No. It is different from ritualistic ceremony. Although it appears like ritualistic, it is transcendental. Ritualistic ceremony, they are meant for giving you advantage of become pious, from impious life.

It also gives that, but this is not the ultimate aim. The ultimate aim is to give you love of God, which is far, far transcendental to the pious and impious activities. That is a different thing that belongs to the spiritual world—love of God.

It is not that it is a function to nullify your sinful activities. That is automatically done. Just like if you get one million dollars, the purpose of ten dollars automatically solved. Similarly, this acceptance of holy name of God will automatically wash off all your sinful reaction. That's a fact.

But it is not meant for that purpose. It is meant for higher purpose, to attain to this platform of loving God, rendering transcendental loving service to the Lord. That is the aim. Yes.

Revatīnandana: "The ninth offense is inattentive while chanting the holy name."

Prabhupāda: Yes. This is ninth offense. While you chant, you hear also. You don't turn your attention to anything else—mechanically chanting and thinking of something. Thinking of Kṛṣṇa is all right, but if I think something which is not in Kṛṣṇa consciousness . . . best thing is that I shall chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, and each word I shall hear, then it will be very much effective. Yes.

Revatīnandana: "The tenth offense is attachment to material things while engaged in the practice of chanting."

Prabhupāda: That I explained, ''ahaṁ'' . . . this is the disease, ''ahaṁ mameti'' ([[SB 5.5.8]]). The material disease means I am thinking this body, "I am," and everything belonging to this body or in relationship with the body, "mine." This is material disease. So we shall see. By chanting we shall see how much we are making progress, how much I am free from these two concept of life that, "I am this body, and anything belonging to this body is mine."

This is the test, how we are becoming free from these two concept of life. If there is still the concept that, "I am this body and anything belonging to this body is mine," then you have to chant very cautiously to make progress. Yes. That's all. These ten kinds of offenses you should be guard against.

Prabhupāda: (''kīrtana'') (''prema-dhvani'') Thank you very much. (devotees offer obeisances)

Read. Hare Kṛṣṇa.

Devotee: Second Chapter?

Prabhupāda: Yes, Second.

Devotee: Start at verse 8? "I can find no means to drive away this grief which is drying up my senses. I will not even be able to destroy it if I win an unrivaled kingdom on the earth with sovereignty like the demigods in heaven. ([[BG 2.8 (1972)|BG 2.8]])

"Sañjaya said: Having spoken thus, Arjuna, chastiser of the enemies, told Kṛṣṇa, 'Govinda, I shall not fight,' and fell silent." ([[BG 2.9 (1972)|BG 2.9]])

"O descendant of Bharata, at that time Kṛṣṇa, smiling in the midst of both the armies, spoke the following words to the grief-stricken Arjuna." ([[BG 2.10 (1972)|BG 2.10]])

"The Blessed Lord said . . ."

Prabhupāda: So when we become very serious in a dangerous position, as if we are lost, but Kṛṣṇa smiles. You see? Sometimes we think . . . this is called illusion. The same example, just a man in dreaming, crying, "There is tiger, there is tiger. It is eating me," and the man who is awakened, he is smiling, "Where is the tiger?" (chuckles) "Where is the tiger?" And this man is crying, "Tiger, tiger, tiger." Similarly, when we are very much perplexed . . .

Just like the politicians, they are sometimes perplexed in political situation and claiming, "This is my land, my country," and other party also claiming, "It is my land, my country," and they are fighting very gravely, Kṛṣṇa smiles: "What these nonsense are claiming 'my country, my land'? It is My land, and they are claiming 'my land' and fighting."

Actually, the land belongs to Kṛṣṇa, but these people, under illusion, claiming, "It is my land, it is my country," forgetting how long he shall belong to this country or this nation. That is called illusion.

So this is our position. Without understanding our real position we are perplexed with these all worldly problems, which are all false. ''Janasya moho 'yam ahaṁ mameti'' ([[SB 5.5.8]]). ''Moha, moha'' means illusion. This is the illusion. So everyone is under this illusion. So one who is intelligent, if he can understand that this worldly position is simply illusion . . . the, all the thoughts which I have concocted, based on the principle of "I" and "my," this is all illusion. So one, when one is intelligent to get out of the illusion, he surrenders to a spiritual master.

That is being exemplified by Arjuna. When he's too much perplexed . . . he was talking with Kṛṣṇa as friend, but he saw that, "This friendly talking will not solve my question." And he selected Kṛṣṇa . . . because he knew the value of Kṛṣṇa. At least, he ought to have known. He is friend. And he knows that Kṛṣṇa is accepted . . . "Although He is acting as my friend, but by great authorities Kṛṣṇa is accepted as the Supreme Personality of Godhead."

That was known to Arjuna. So he said that, "I'm so much puzzled that I cannot understand. Even accepting that I shall be victorious in this battle, still I shall not be happy. What to speak of being victorious of this planet, if I become the king of all other planets or if I become a demigod in the higher planetary system, still this distress cannot be mitigated." You see?

Devotee: Verse 11: "The Blessed Lord said: While speaking learned words you are mourning for what is not worthy of grief. Those who are wise lament neither for the living nor the dead."

Purport: "The Lord at once took the position of a teacher and chastised His student, calling him indirectly a fool. The Lord said: 'You are talking like a learned man, but you do not know that one who is learned, one who knows what is body and what is soul, does not lament for any stage of the body, neither in the living nor in the dead condition.' "

"As explained in the later chapters, it will be clear that knowledge means to know matter and spirit and the controller of both. Arjuna argued that religious principles should be given more importance than politics or sociology, but he did not know that knowledge of matter, soul and the Supreme is more important than religious formularies."

"And because he was lacking in that knowledge, he should not have posed himself as a very learned man. As he did not happen to be a very learned man, he was consequently lamenting for something which was unworthy of lamentation."

"The body is born and is destined to be vanquished today or tomorrow. Therefore the body is not as important as the soul. One who knows this is actually learned. For him there is no cause for lamentation in any stage of the material body."

Twelve . . .

Prabhupāda: He says, Kṛṣṇa says that, "This body, either dead or alive, has nothing to be lamented." Dead body, suppose when the body is dead, it has no value. What is the use of lamenting? You can lament for many thousands of years, it will not come to life. So there is no cause of lamenting on dead body. And so far spirit soul is concerned, that is eternal.

Even it appears to be dead, or with the death of this body, he does not die. So why one should be overwhelmed, "Oh, my father is dead, my such-and-such relative is dead," and crying? He's not dead. This knowledge one must have. Then he'll be cheerful in all cases, and he'll be interested simply in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. There is nothing to be lamented for the body, either alive or dead. That is being instructed by Kṛṣṇa in this chapter.

Go on.

Devotee: "Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings. Nor in the future shall any of us cease to be." ([[BG 2.12 (1972)|BG 2.12]])

Purport: "In the ''Vedas'', in the ''Kaṭha Upaniṣad'', as well as in the ''Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad'', it is said that . . ."

Prabhupāda: (correcting pronunciation) ''Śvetāśvatara''.

Devotee: ''Śvetāśvatara''.

Prabhupāda: There are many ''Upaniṣads''; they are called ''Vedas''. ''Upaniṣads'' are the headlines of the ''Vedas''. Just like in a chapter there is a headline, similarly, these ''Upaniṣads'' are the headlines of the ''Vedas''. ''Kaṭhopani'' . . . there are 108 ''Upaniṣads'', principal. Out of that, nine ''Upaniṣads ''are very important. So out of those nine ''Upaniṣads, Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad, Taittireya Upaniṣad, Aitareya Upaniṣad, Īśopaniṣad, Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad, Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣad, Kaṭhopaniṣad'', these ''Upaniṣads ''are very important.

And whenever there is argument on some point, one has to give reference from these ''Upaniṣads''. If one can give reference from the ''Upaniṣads'', then his argument is very strong. ''Śabda-pramāṇa''. ''Pramāṇa ''means evidence. Evidence . . . if you want to gain in your case . . . just like you have to give very nice evidence in a court, similarly, according to Vedic culture, the evidence is ''pramāṇa. Pramāṇa'' means evidence. ''Śabda-pramāṇa''.

There are three kinds of evidences accepted by the learned scholars in Vedic culture. One evidence is ''pratyakṣa. Pratyakṣa'' means direct perception. Just like I am seeing you, you are seeing me. I am present, you are present. This is direct perception. And there is another evidence, which is called ''anumāna''.

Suppose in that room, and I am coming just now, I do not know whether any person there is or not. But there is some sound, I can imagine, "Oh, there is somebody." This is called ''anumāna''. In logic it is called hypothesis. That is also evidence. If by my bona fide suggestion I can give evidence, that is also accepted.

So direct evidence and, what is called, hypothesis, or suggestion evidence. But the strong evidence is ''śabda-pramāṇa. Śabda, śabda-brahman''. That means ''Veda''. If one can give evidence from the quotation of the ''Vedas'', then it is . . . it has to be accepted. Nobody can deny the Vedic evidence. That is the system.

How it is so? Caitanya Mahāprabhu has given very nice example. That is in the ''Vedas''. Just like we keep conchshell in the Deities' room. Conchshell is considered very pure, transcendental—otherwise, how we can keep before Deity and you blow conchshell, you offer water with conchshell? How you can offer? But what is this conchshell? The conchshell is the bone of an animal. It is nothing but bone of an animal.

But the Vedic injunction is that if you touch the bone of an animal, you'll have to take bath immediately. You become impure. Now one may say, "Oh, this is contradiction. In one place it is said that if you touch the bone of an animal, then you have to purify yourself by taking bath immediately, and here, the bone of an animal is in the Deities' room."

So it is contradiction, is it not? If bone of an animal is impure, how you can place it in the Deities' room? And if bone of an animal is pure, then what is the meaning of becoming impure and take bath? You'll find similar contradiction in the Vedic injunctions. But because it is said by the ''Vedas'' that bone of an animal is impure, you have to accept. But this bone of an animal, conchshell, is pure. Just like sometimes our students are perplexed when we say that onion is not to be taken, but onion is a vegetable.

So ''śabda-pramāṇa'' means the Vedic evidence should be taken in such a way that no argument. There is meaning; there is no contradiction. There is meaning. Just like several times I have told you that cow dung. Cow dung is, according to Vedic injunction, is pure. In India it is actually used as antiseptic. In villages especially, there is large quantity of cow dung, and they're, all over the house they have smeared to make the house antiseptic.

And actually, after smearing cow dung in your room, when it is dried, you'll find refreshed, everything antiseptic. It is practical experience. And one Dr. Ghosh, a great chemist, he examined cow dung, that why cow dung is so much important in the Vedic literature. He found that cow dung contains all the antiseptic properties. In ''Āyur-veda'', cow dung dried and burned into ashes is used as toothpowder. It is very antiseptic toothpowder.

Similarly, there are many things, many injunctions in the ''Vedas'', which may apparently appear as contradiction, but they are not contradiction. They are on experience, on transcendental experience. Just like a father says to his child that, "My dear child, you take this food. It is very nice." And the child takes it, believing the father, authority. The father says . . . the child knows that, "My father . . ." He is confident that "My father will never give me anything which is poison."

Therefore he accepts it blindly, without any reason, without any analysis of the food, whether it is pure or impure. You have to believe in such a way. You go to a hotel because it is licensed by the government. You have to believe when you take foodstuff there it is nice, it is pure, or it is antiseptic, or it is . . . but how do you know it? The authority. Because this hotel is authorized by the government, it has got license, therefore you believe.

Similarly, ''śabda-pramāṇa'' means as soon as there is evidence in the Vedic literature, "This is this," you have to accept. Then your knowledge is perfect because you are accepting things from the perfect source. Similarly Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa is accepted as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Whatever He says, it is all right. Accept. Arjuna said at last, ''sarvam etad ṛtaṁ manye'' ([[BG 10.14 (1972)|BG 10.14]]): "My dear Kṛṣṇa, whatever You say I accept it." That should be our principle. Why should we bother about researching when the evidence is there from the authority?

So to save time, to save trouble, one has to accept the authority, actual authority. This is the Vedic process. And therefore ''Veda'' says, ''tad vijñānārthaṁ sa gurum evābhigacchet'' (''Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad'' 1.2.12). ''Tad vijñānārtham'', in order to learn that transcendental science, one has to accept ''guru''. ''Gurum eva'': certainly, one must. Otherwise there is no possibility. Therefore Kṛṣṇa is accepted here as the spiritual master of Arjuna, and as the spiritual master or father or teacher has got right to chastise his son or disciple . . .

A son is never dissatisfied when father chastises. That is the etiquette everywhere. Even the father is sometimes violent, the child or the son tolerates. A typical example is Prahlāda Mahārāja. Innocent child, Kṛṣṇa consciousness child, but father torturing. He never says anything. "All right."

Similarly Kṛṣṇa, just after taking the position of the spiritual master, is designating Arjuna as a grand fool. Just like Caitanya Mahāprabhu also said that, "My spiritual master found Me a great fool." Was Caitanya Mahāprabhu a fool? And can it be possible that anyone can become the spiritual master of Caitanya Mahāprabhu?

Both things are impossible. Caitanya Mahāprabhu, even not accepting Him as incarnation of Kṛṣṇa, if simply you accept Him as ordinary scholar or man, there was no comparison of His scholarship. But He said that, "My spiritual master found Me a great fool."

What is that meaning? That, "A person, even in My position, always remains a fool before his spiritual master. That is good for him." Nobody should impose that, "What do you know? I know better than you." This position is not . . . denied.

And other point is, from the disciple's point of view, why he should remain always a fool before a person, unless he's actually authorized, actually so great that he can teach me as a fool. One should select a spiritual master in that way, and as soon as the spiritual master is selected, one should remain always a fool, although he may not be a fool. But the better position is like that.

So Arjuna, instead of remaining on the same level as friend and friend, voluntarily accepting to remain a fool before Kṛṣṇa. And Kṛṣṇa is accepting that "You are a fool. You're talking just like a learned man, but you are a fool because you are lamenting on a matter which no learned man laments." That means "A fool laments" that, "You are a fool. Therefore you are a fool." It is in a roundabout way.

Just like . . . what is called in logic? Parenthesis? Or something like that, called. Yes. That if I say that, "You look like that person who stole my watch," that means "You look like a thief." Similarly, (chuckles) Kṛṣṇa, in a roundabout way, says that, "My dear Arjuna, you are talking just like a learned man, but you are lamenting on a subject matter which no learned man laments."

Go on.

Devotee: "In the ''Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad'' it is said that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the maintainer of innumerable living entities, in terms of their different situations according to individual work and reaction to work. That Supreme Personality of Godhead is also, by His plenary portions, alive in the heart of every living entity. Only saintly persons, who can see within and without the same Supreme Personality of Godhead, can actually attain to perfect peace eternal.

"The same Vedic truth enumerated herein is given to Arjuna, and in that connection to all persons in the world who pose themselves as very learned but factually have very poor fund of knowledge. The Lord says clearly that He Himself, Arjuna, and all the kings who are assembled in the battlefield are eternally individual beings and that the Lord is eternally the maintainer of the individual living entities."

Prabhupāda: What is the original verse? You read.

Devotee: "Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings . . . " ([[BG 2.12 (1972)|BG 2.12]])

Prabhupāda: Now, "Never there was a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor these people." Now He analytically says: "I, you and . . ." first person, second person and third person. That is complete. "I, you and others." So Kṛṣṇa says, "Never there was a time when I, you and all these persons who have assembled in this battlefield did not exist." That means "In the past, I, you and all of them, they individually existed." Individually.

The Māyāvādī theory is that the ultimate spirit is impersonal. Then how Kṛṣṇa can say that, "Never there was a time when I, you and all these persons never existed"? That means, "I existed as individual, you existed as individual, and all these persons who are before us, they existed as individual. Never there was a time."

Now, what is your answer, Dīnadayāla? Kṛṣṇa says never we were mixed up. We are all individuals. And He says: "Never we shall remain . . . never there will be time when we shall not exist." That means in the past we existed as individual, in the present there is no doubt we are existing as individual, and in the future also, we shall continue to remain as individual.

Then when the impersonal conception comes at all? In the past, present, future, there are three times. Huh? In all the times we are individuals. Then when God becomes impersonal or I become impersonal or you become impersonal? Where is the chance?

Now Kṛṣṇa clearly says: "There was never a time when I, you and all these individual kings or soldiers . . . it was not that we did not exist in the past." So in the past we existed as individual, and the present there is no doubt, we are existing as individual. You are my disciple, I am your spiritual master, but you have got your individuality, I have got my individuality. If you don't agree with me, you can leave me.

That is your individuality. So if you don't like Kṛṣṇa, you cannot become in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is your individuality. So this individuality continues. Similarly Kṛṣṇa, if He does not like you, He may refuse you Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Not that because you are following all the rules and regulations, Kṛṣṇa is obliged to accept you. No. If He thinks that, "He's nonsense; I cannot accept him," He'll reject you.

So He has got individuality, you have got individuality, everyone has got individuality. Where is the question of impersonalism come? There is no possibility. And if you don't believe Kṛṣṇa, you don't believe ''Vedas'', apart from anything else, Kṛṣṇa is accepted as the supreme authority, the Personality of Godhead. Then if we don't believe Him, then where is the possibility of advancing in knowledge? There is no possibility of it. So there is no question of individuality. This is the statement of authority.

Now, apart from statement of authority, you have to apply your reason and arguments. Can you say anywhere there is agreement between two parties? No. You go, study. In the state or in the family, in the community, in the nation there is no agreement. Even in the assembly, even in your country. Suppose there is Senate. Everyone has got country's interest, but he's thinking in his individual way.

One is thinking that, "My country's welfare will be in this line." Otherwise, why there is competition during election of president? Everyone is saying that, "America needs Nixon." And another president, he also says: "America needs me." So, but why two? If America needs you, and you are both . . . no. There is individuality. Mr. Nixon's opinion is something else. Mr. another candidate's opinion is something else.

In the assembly, in the Senate, in the Congress, in the United Nations, everyone is fighting with his individual view. Otherwise, why there are so many flags in the world? You cannot say anywhere impersonalism. Personality is predominating everywhere. Everywhere, the personality, individuality, is predominant. So we have to accept. We have to apply our reason, arguments, and accept the authority. Then the question is solved. Otherwise it is most difficult.

Devotee: "The Supreme Personality of Godhead is the supreme individual person, and Arjuna, the Lord's eternal associate, and all the kings assembled there are individual eternal persons. It is not that they did not exist as individuals in the past, and it is not that they will not exist . . . they will not remain as eternal persons. Their individuality existed in the past and their individuality will continue in the future without interruption.

"Therefore there is no cause for lamentation for any one of the individual living entities. The Māyāvādī, or impersonal, theory that after liberation the individual soul, separate on account of ''māyā'', or illusion, will merge into the impersonal Brahman without individual existence . . ."

Prabhupāda: Now, the Māyāvādī says that this individuality is māyā. So their conception is that spirit, the whole spirit is a lump. Their theory is ''ghaṭākāśa poṭākāśa. Ghaṭākāśa poṭākāśa'' means . . . just like sky. The sky is an expansion, impersonal expansion. So in a pot, in a water pot, in a pitcher that is closed . . .

Now, within the pitcher there is also sky, a small sky. Now as soon as the pitcher is broken, the outside, the bigger sky, and the small sky within the pitcher mixes. That is Māyāvāda theory. But this analogy cannot be applied. Analogy means points of similarity. That is the law of analogy. The sky cannot be compared . . .

The small sky within the pitcher cannot be compared with the living entity. It is material, matter. Sky is matter, and individual living entity is spirit. So how you can say? Just like a small ant, it is spirit soul. It has got its individuality. But a big dead stone, hill or mountain, it has no individuality.

So matter has no individuality; spirit has individuality. So if the points of similarity differ, then there is no analogy. That is the law of analogy. So you cannot analogize with matter and spirit. Therefore this analogy is fallacious, the ''ghaṭākāśa poṭākāśa''.

Then another evidence is in the ''Bhagavad-gītā''. Kṛṣṇa says that ''mamaivāṁśo jīva-bhūta'' ([[BG 15.7 (1972)|BG 15.7]]): "These individual souls, they are My part and parcel," ''jīva-loke sanātanaḥ'', "and they are eternal." That means eternally they are part and parcel. Then when . . . how this Māyāvāda theory can be supported, that due to ''māyā'', being covered by ''māyā'', they are now appearing individual, separate, but when the covering of ''māyā'' will be taken away, they will mix up just like the small sky within the pitcher and the big sky outside mixes? So this analogy is fallacious from logical point of view, as well as from authentic Vedic point of view. They are eternally fragments.

There are many other evidences from ''Bhagavad-gītā. Bhagavad-gītā'' says that spirit cannot be fragmented. So if you say that by covering of ''māyā'' the spirit has become fragment, that is not possible. It cannot be cut. Just like if you cut one big piece of paper into small fragments, it is possible because it is matter, but spiritually it is not possible. Spiritually, eternally, the fragments are fragments, and the Supreme is Supreme. Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme, and we are fragmental parts. We are fragments eternally.

These things are explained in ''Bhagavad-gītā'' in different places very nicely. I request you all to keep one copy of this ''Bhagavad-gītā'', every one of you, and read it carefully. And there will be examination in the coming September. So . . . of course, that is voluntary. But I request you to prepare for the examination next September. And one who will pass the examination will get the title ''Bhakti-śāstrī''. Have you distributed that . . .? Yes.

Go on.

Devotee: "Nor is the theory that we only think of individuality in the conditioned state supported herein. Kṛṣṇa clearly says that in the future also the individuality of the Lord and others as it is . . ."

Prabhupāda: Kṛṣṇa never says that after liberation these individual souls will mix up with the Supreme Soul. Kṛṣṇa never says in the ''Bhagavad-gītā''.

Devotee: "Kṛṣṇa clearly says that in the future also the individuality of the Lord and others, as it is confirmed in the ''Upaniṣads'', will continue eternally. This statement of Kṛṣṇa is authoritative."

Prabhupāda: Yes, ''Upaniṣad'' says ''nityo nityānām''. Now, ''nitya'' means eternal, and the Supreme Lord is the supreme eternal, and we individual souls, we are also many eternals. So He is the leader eternal. ''Eko bahūnām'' . . . how He is leader? ''Eko bahūnāṁ vidadhāti kāmān'' (''Kaṭha Upaniṣad'' 2.2.13).

That one, singular number eternal, person, He is supplying all the needs of other eternals. These things are clearly said in the ''Vedas''. And actually we are experiencing. Just like in Christian theology, the individual goes to the church and prays God, "Give us our daily bread." Why he's asking God? Of course, this atheist class of men are now teaching them, "Where is bread? You are going to church. You come to us, we shall supply you bread."

So this Vedic thought is there also. The ''Veda'' says, ''eko bahūnāṁ vidadhāti kāmān''. That supreme one eternal, He's supplying, He's maintaining all other individual eternals. And Bible also enjoins that, "You go, ask for your bread to God."

So unless God is maintainer and supplier, why this injunction is there? Therefore He is the leader; He is the maintainer. And the ''Vedas'' clearly says this is the position. He is the Supreme. And by knowing this, one can become in peace. That is the Vedic injunction.

Go on.

Devotee: "This statement of Kṛṣṇa is authoritative, because Kṛṣṇa cannot be subject to illusion. If individuality . . ."

Prabhupāda: Yes. If the Māyāvādī philosopher says that this statement of Kṛṣṇa is in ''māyā'', that "He says that 'Everyone was individual in the past.' No, in the past everyone was one, lump sum, homogeneous. By ''māyā'', we have become individual . . ."

If the Māyāvādī says like that, then Kṛṣṇa becomes one of the conditioned soul. He does not . . . He loses His authority. Because conditioned soul cannot give you the truth. I am conditioned soul. I cannot say something which is absolute.

So Kṛṣṇa is accepted as the Absolute. So if the Māyāvādī theory is accepted, then Kṛṣṇa's theory has to be rejected. If Kṛṣṇa is rejected, then there is no need of reading Kṛṣṇa's book, ''Bhagavad-gītā''. It is useless, waste of time, if He's a conditioned soul like us. Because we cannot take any instruction from a conditioned soul.

So the spiritual master, even if you take that he is conditioned soul, but he does not speak anything from his own side. He speaks from Kṛṣṇa's side. So unless . . . the Vedic principle is that unless one is not liberated from the material conditions, he cannot give us any perfect knowledge.

The conditioned soul, however he may be academically advanced, educated, he cannot give us any perfect knowledge. Only one who is above the condition of these material laws, he can give us the perfect knowledge.

Similarly Śaṅkarācārya, he's also impersonalist, but he accepts Kṛṣṇa the supreme authority. ''Sa bhagavān svayaṁ kṛṣṇa'' ([[SB 1.3.28]]): "Kṛṣṇa is that Supreme Personality of Godhead." The modern Māyāvādī philosophers, they do not disclose this statement of Śaṅkarācārya, to cheat people. But Śaṅkarācārya's statement is there. We can give evidence. He accepts Kṛṣṇa as the supreme authority.

He has written so many nice poems praising or worshiping Kṛṣṇa. And at the last time he says, ''bhaja govindaṁ bhaja govindaṁ bhaja govindaṁ mūḍha-mate'': "You rascal fools. Oh, you are depending on grammar to understand. This is all nonsense." ''Bhaja govindam'': "Just worship Govinda." ''Bhaja govindaṁ bhaja'' . . . three times he says, "Just worship Govinda." ''Bhaja govindaṁ bhaja govindaṁ bhaja govindam''.

Just like Caitanya Mahāprabhu says three times, ''harer nāma harer nāma harer nāma'' ([[CC Adi 17.21]]). Three times means giving too much stress. Just like we sometimes say: "You do this, do this, do this." That means no more denial. Finish all stress. So as soon as one thing is three times stressed, that means final. So Śaṅkarācārya says, ''bhaja govindaṁ bhaja govindaṁ bhaja govindaṁ mūḍha-mate. Mūḍha. Mūḍha ''I've several times explained. ''Mūḍha'' means rascal, ass. "You are depending on your grammatical understanding," ''dukṛn karaṇe''.

''Dukṛn'', these are grammatical affix and prefix, ''pratya, prakaraṇa''. "So you are depending on this verbal root, that verbal root, and creating, interpreting your meaning in a different way. All this is nonsense. This ''dukṛn karaṇe'', your grammatical jugglery of words, will not save you at the time of death. You rascal, you just worship Govinda, Govinda, Govinda." That is the instruction of Śaṅkarācārya.

Because he was a devotee, he was a great devotee. But he pretended to be an atheist because he was to deal with the atheist. Unless he presents himself as an atheist, the atheist followers will not hear him. Therefore he presented Māyāvāda philosophy for the time being. The Māyāvāda philosophy cannot be accepted eternally. The eternal philosophy is ''Bhagavad-gītā''. That is the verdict.

Go on.

Devotee: "If individuality is not a fact, then Kṛṣṇa would not have stressed it so much even for the future. The Māyāvādī . . ."

Prabhupāda: Yes. He says that there was no such time when we are not individual, and there will be no such time in the future when we shall not remain individual. And so far present is concerned, we are all individual. You know. So where is the possibility of losing individuality, become imperson? No. There is no possibility.

This voidism, impersonalism, they are artificial way of negating the perplexing variegatedness of this material existence. That is the negative side only. That is not a positive side. A positive side is that, as Kṛṣṇa says, ''tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti kaunteya'' ([[BG 4.9 (1972)|BG 4.9]]): "After giving up this material tabernacle, one comes to Me." Just like after leaving this room, you have to enter another room. You cannot say that, "After leaving this room, I shall live in the sky." Similarly, after leaving this body, if you go to Kṛṣṇa in the spiritual kingdom, your individuality will be there, but you'll have that spiritual body. When there is spiritual body there is no perplexities.

Just like your body is different from the body of the aquatics. The aquatics, they have no disturbance in the water because their body is made like that. They can live there peacefully. You cannot live. Similarly, the fishes, if you take them out of the water, they cannot live.

Similarly, because you are spirit soul, you cannot live peacefully in this material world. This is foreign. But as soon as you enter into the spiritual world, your life is eternal, blissful and full of knowledge, real peace. ''Tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti'' ([[BG 4.9 (1972)|BG 4.9]]). Kṛṣṇa says: "After leaving this body, he does not come to this perplexities of material world." ''Mām eti'', "He comes to Me." "Me" means His kingdom, His paraphernalia, His associates—everything.

If some rich man or some king says: "All right, you come to me," that does not mean that he's impersonal. If a king says: "Come to . . ." means that he has got his palace, he has got his secretary, he has got his nice apartment, everything is there. How he can be imperson? But he says only "Come to me." This "me" means everything. This "me" does not mean impersonal. And we get information from ''Brahma-saṁhitā'':

:''lakṣmī-sahasra-śata-sambhrama-sevyamānaṁ ''
:''surabhīr abhipālayantam ''
:(Bs. 5.29)

So He's not impersonal. He's raising cows, He's with hundreds and thousands of goddess of fortune, His friends, His paraphernalia, His kingdom, His house, everything is there. So there is no question of impersonalism.

Yes.

Devotee: "The Māyāvādī may argue that the individuality spoken of by Kṛṣṇa is not spiritual but material. Even accepting the argument that the individuality is material, how can one distinguish Kṛṣṇa's individuality?"

Prabhupāda: They also think of Kṛṣṇa, therefore, as material. That is also condemned by Kṛṣṇa. You'll find, ''avajānanti māṁ mūḍhā mānuṣīṁ tanum āśritam'' ([[BG 9.11 (1972)|BG 9.11]]): "Because I have appeared just like a human being, these rascals deride at Me that I am also one of them." ''Mūḍha. Mūḍha'' means rascal. Just like Dr. Radhakrishnan says, "It is not to Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa . . . it is the soul within the Kṛṣṇa." That means he identifies Kṛṣṇa as one of us: His body and His soul different.

But Kṛṣṇa is not . . . Kṛṣṇa said, ''sambhavāmy ātma-māyayā'' ([[BG 4.6 (1972)|BG 4.6]]): "I appear in My own, original stature. I do not change." We change. The individual soul . . . ''prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni'' ([[BG 3.27 (1972)|BG 3.27]]). He's conducted by, influenced by this ''prakṛti'', nature, but He's not conducted or influenced by the nature. He comes in His own influence, as He is, ''ātma-māyayā''. This is the distinction. Therefore He does not change body. When I come, I change bodies. This time I may have this body; next time I may have another body. That is material, and therefore I forget. Just like Kṛṣṇa says in the Fourth Chapter that "Many times you and I came. You have forgotten." Because we change our material body, therefore we forget. These things all will be explained.

Go on.

Devotee: "Kṛṣṇa affirms His individuality in the past and confirms His individuality in the future also. He has confirmed His individuality in many ways, and impersonal Brahman has been declared as subordinate to Him. Kṛṣṇa has maintained spiritual individuality all along, and if He is accepted as an ordinary conditioned soul in individual consciousness, then His ''Bhagavad-gītā'' has no value as an authoritative scripture."

"A common man with all the defects of human frailty is unable to teach that which is worth hearing. ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is above such literature. No mundane book compares with the ''Bhagavad-gītā''. When one accepts Kṛṣṇa as an ordinary man, the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' loses all importance."

"The Māyāvādī argues that the plurality mentioned in this verse is conventional, and that the plurality thus refers to the body. But previous to this verse such a bodily conception has already been condemned. After condemning the bodily conception of living entities, how was it possible for Kṛṣṇa to place a conventional proposition on the body again?"

"Therefore, the plurality is on spiritual grounds, as is confirmed by great teachers like Śrī Rāmānuja. It is clearly mentioned in many places in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' that this spiritual plurality is understood by those who are devotees of the Lord."

"Those who are envious of Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme Personality of Godhead have no bona fide access to the great literature. The nondevotee's approach to the teachings of the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is something like a bee licking on a bottle of honey. One cannot have a taste of honey unless one can taste within the bottle. Similarly, the mysticism of the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' can be understood only by devotees."

"No one else can taste it, as is stated in this Fourth Chapter of the book. Nor can the ''Gītā'' be touched by persons who envy the very existence of the Lord. Therefore the Māyāvādī explanation of the ''Gītā'' is a most misleading presentation of the whole truth. Lord Caitanya has forbidden us to read commentaries made by the Māyāvādīs."

Prabhupāda: Yes. Lord Caitanya has clearly said, ''māyāvadi-bhāṣya śunile haya sarva-nāśa'' ([[CC Madhya 6.169]]). One meets a disaster if he hears a Māyāvādī philosopher to understand Vedic literature. That is His injunction. ''Māyāvadi-bhāṣya śunile haya sarva-nāśa. Sarva-nāśa'' means disaster. It is actually disaster. A ''māyāvadi-bhāṣya'', Māyāvādī commentary, they have simply tried, the individual, tiny individual spiritual spark that, "You are the Supreme."

So he's just a Dr. Frog. You see. So puffed up, puffed up, when he . . . at one time, it will burst. Therefore it is disastrous. It is disastrous. (chuckling) ''Māyāvadi-bhāṣya śunile haya sarva-nāśa''. So that's all. Finished? Yes. Oh, not yet?

Devotee: "Therefore the Māyāvādī explanation of the Gītā is a most misleading presentation of the whole truth. Lord Caitanya has forbidden us to read commentaries made by the Māyāvādīs and warns that one who takes to understanding of the Māyāvādī philosophy loses all power to understand the real mystery of the ''Gītā''."

"If individuality refers to the empirical universe, then there is no need for teachings of the Lord. The plurality of the individual souls and of the Lord is an eternal fact, and it is confirmed by the ''Vedas'' as above mentioned."

Prabhupāda: So you read very carefully ''Bhagavad-gītā''. You have to meet so many opposing elements, so you have to argue and you convince them.

Hmm. (''saṅkīrtana'' party enters and offers obeisances)

So, what is your report?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yesterday we sold 125 magazines and collected twenty dollars. Today, so far, during the day, we have sold . . . how many have you sold today?

Devotee: Eighty-five.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Eighty-five today so far.

Prabhupāda: And there is night.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Tonight, we will go out tonight.

Bīrabhadra: I have a question. In about the middle of your lecture you said that Kṛṣṇa said that everybody always lived on. "I lived on, you lived on and everybody here lived on." Does that means us in this room lived on, too? We always lived?

Prabhupāda: What do you think?

Bīrabhadra: I don't know.

Prabhupāda: Yes. "All" means including all men of this room also. You also.

Bīrabhadra: I lived on?

Prabhupāda: Yes. You lived in the past, you are living at present, you will live in the future also. Is that all right?

Bīrabhadra: I understand now.

Prabhupāda: Hmm?

Devotee: I read somewhere in your writings that in order to understand the confidential affairs of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa one must serve the ''gopīs'' who are servants of the ''gopīs'', and I assumed that you were a servant of the ''gopīs''. Is that correct? Or . . . how do I serve the servants of the ''gopīs''?

Prabhupāda: ''Gopīs'', they are not conditioned souls. They are liberated spirits. So first of all you have to come out from this conditioned life. Then the question of serving ''gopī'' will come. Don't be, at the present moment, very eager to serve ''gopī''. Just try to get out of your conditional life. Then time will come when you'll be able to serve ''gopī''.

In this conditional stage we cannot serve anything. Kṛṣṇa is performing it. But Kṛṣṇa gives us opportunities to accept service in this ''arcā-mārga''. Just like we keep the Deity of Kṛṣṇa, offer ''prasādam'' under regulation, under principle. So we have to make advance in this way, this chanting, hearing, and worshiping in the temple, ''ārati'', offering ''prasādam''. In this way, as we make advance, then automatically Kṛṣṇa will reveal to you, and you'll understand your position, how you have to . . .

''Gopīs'' means who are always, constantly engaged in the service of the Lord. So that eternal relationship will be revealed. So we have to wait for that. Immediately we cannot imitate serving ''gopīs''. That's a good idea that we shall serve ''gopī'', but it will take time. Not immediately. Immediately we have to follow the rules and regulation and routine work.

Yes?

Viṣṇujana: Do the liberated souls also seek after this Kṛṣṇa consciousness? Those who have become free . . .

Prabhupāda: They become perfect in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Liberated soul means . . . we are just trying to be Kṛṣṇa conscious. We are not actually in full Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We are . . . just like a diseased person is trying to recover. So one who is recovered, there is no question of his healthy life. We are trying to be healthy, our present position. So we are trying to be Kṛṣṇa conscious. So one who is liberated he is nothing but Kṛṣṇa conscious. You follow? Yes.

Kṛṣṇa consciousness is the perfection of life. So we are trying to reach that platform of perfection by regulative principle. But when we are actually on the platform, there is nothing but Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is the perfection of life. That is our actual, liberated stage. ''Jīvera svarūpa haya nitya-kṛṣṇa-dāsa'' ([[CC Madhya 20.108-109|CC Madhya 20.108]]). That is our ''svarūpa''. ''Svarūpa'' means actual constitutional position. And ''mukti'', liberation, means to come to that real position. Just like healthy life means to come to the normal life from the diseased stage. That is healthy life and normal life.

So Kṛṣṇa consciousness is our normal consciousness. This normal consciousness is now polluted. We have got so many other consciousness. So this is an attempt to get out of all, I mean to say, infected consciousness, come to the real stage of pure Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

One question. No more. Next day.

Yes?

Devotee: In ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'' you have said that . . . it's stated that Vyāsadeva was afraid when Sūta Gosvāmī was born that he would leave home because he was already a liberated soul.

Prabhupāda: Hmm?

Devotee: It says in the ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'' that Vyāsadeva was afraid that Sūta Gosvāmī when he was born would leave home because he was already a liberated soul.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Devotee: But he was attracted to Kṛṣṇa's pastimes.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Devotee: So what . . .?

Prabhupāda: That is the sign of liberated soul. Because to become attracted by Kṛṣṇa, that is our normal condition. So he was liberated; therefore normally he became attracted with Kṛṣṇa's pastimes. That is his normal life. One who is not attracted by Kṛṣṇa's pastimes, he will be attracted by President Johnson's pastimes. (laughter)

One has to be attracted. One has to be attracted by the dog's pastimes. Don't you see a person how he is serving the dog? The dog stands, passes urine, he also stands. You see? He's a human being, and he is waiting for the dog passing urine. How much he is attending the pastimes of the dog?

So if you are not attracted by the pastimes of God, then you'll have to be attracted by the pastimes of the dog. There is no other alternative: either ''māyā'' or Kṛṣṇa. The atheist, agnostic, they deny Kṛṣṇa's pastimes; therefore they remain attracted by the pastimes of this material world.

Yes?

Madhudviṣa: Prabhupāda, I think this is . . . did Lord Caitanya take ''sannyāsa'' from a Māyāvādī ''sannyāsī''?

Prabhupāda: Yes. That is a formality. That is not very important. Because Māyāvādī ''Sannyāsīs'', they are also Vedic ''sannyāsī''. They are not outsiders. But their interpretation of ''Veda'' is different. But they follow the Vedic rules. So this acceptance of ''sannyāsa'' is following a principle of the Vedic rules.

So the Māyāvādī ''sannyāsī ''may differ in his interpretation, but he's following the Vedic rules. So this acceptance of ''sannyāsa'' is following the Vedic rules. So you can accept ''sannyāsa'' even from Māyāvādī. It doesn't matter.

But you have to transcend the limits of Vedic rules. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That also Caitanya Mahāprabhu . . . although He took ''sannyāsa'', He did not assume the ''sannyāsa'' title. His ''sannyāsa'' ''guru'' was Keśava Bhāratī. Naturally, He would have accepted the Bhāratī title, Śrī Kṛṣṇa Bhāratī, or something like that. But He remained Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya. Caitanya is the name of the ''brahmacārī'' under the Bhāratī ''sannyāsī''.

One ''brahmacārī''. The ''brahmacārīs'' are under . . . they are assistant or personal servitors of a ''sannyāsī''. That is the system. So Caitanya Mahāprabhu was . . . in the beginning, He was accepted . . . that is the Māyāvādī system. One is accepted first of all as ''brahmacārī''. So that, His name was Caitanya.

But even after His acceptance of ''sannyāsa'', He did not assume the title Bhāratī. That means actually He did not take ''sannyāsa''. That was simply formality. Because Māyāvādī ''sannyāsī'' thinks that he is God; so how He can assume that title? He was preaching, He was going to preach that we are servant of God; therefore He did not assume that title.

And besides that, when Caitanya Mahāprabhu was going to Lord . . . see Jagannātha Purī, His rod was taken away by Nityānanda and it was broken and thrown away. So He, apparently He became very angry that "You have broken My rod, ''sannyāsa'' rod. So I am not going with You." He separated. These statements are there in the ''Caitanya-caritāmṛta''.

So in one sense, Caitanya Mahāprabhu did not require to accept any ''sannyāsa'' ''guru'', but He accepted the formality that if one takes ''sannyāsa'', one has to take ''sannyāsa'' from another ''sannyāsī''. That is the system. Just like if you want to get yourself married, you have to call for a priest. That does not mean that you have to agree with the priest's personal opinion. Do you follow? Yes.

He may execute the rules and regulation of marriage ceremony, but that does not mean that one has to agree with the priest's opinion, personal opinion. This is the answer. But when you accept a spiritual master, that is not allowed. Unless you cent per cent agree with the spiritual master's opinion or philosophy, there is no need of accepting a spiritual master. There is no need.

Yes?

Jaya-gopāla: How is Māyādevī in such a distasteful position? How did she acquire her position?

Prabhupāda: (S)He's not acquired. (s)he's given that position by Kṛṣṇa. Because there are many individual souls who will defy Kṛṣṇa, therefore Māyāvādī (Māyādevī) is required to punish them . . . Māyādevī is required to punish them. ''Daivī hy eṣā guṇamayī mama māyā duratyayā'' ([[BG 7.14 (1972)|BG 7.14]]): "It is very difficult to surpass the stringent laws of My ''māyā''." The laws . . . the ''māyā'' is not independent. Just like police force. What is the value of police force unless government gives the power? Does it mean . . . suppose a Mr. John, he comes as a policeman. He's Mr. John. What power he has got?

But because government has given him power, he can arrest you. Similarly, ''Māyā'' has no powers. Kṛṣṇa has given her power to chastise these individual souls who are defying the authority of Kṛṣṇa. They should be punished. It is ''Māyā's'' thankless task, but ''Māyā'' is obedient servant of Kṛṣṇa. ''Mama Māyā''. He says, "My ''Māyā''."

So ''Māyā'' is not degraded. ''Māyā'' is faithful servant of Kṛṣṇa. She is faithfully serving. That is stated in the ''Brahma-saṁhitā''. You should read. So many nice books you have got. What is ''Māyā'' doing? That is stated in the ''Brahma-saṁhitā'':

:''sṛṣṭi-sthiti-pralaya-sādhana-śaktir ekā ''
:''chāyeva yasya bhuvanāni vibharti durgā''
:(Bs. 5.44)

Durgā is ''Māyā''. Now what is the position of ''Māyā''? ''Māyā'' is so strong that ''sṛṣṭi-sthiti-pralaya'': she can perform creation, maintenance and dissolution of this whole universe. She's so powerful. The material nature is so powerful. So ''sṛṣṭi-sthiti-pralaya-sādhan a-śaktir ekā''. Alone, she can do this as good as Kṛṣṇa, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

''Sṛṣṭi-sthiti-pralaya-sādhana-śaktir ekā chāyeva''. But she is just like shadow. ''Chāyeva yasya. Chāyeva yasya'' . . . she is working just like shadow. Just like here is shadow of my hand. If I shake my hand, the shadow also shakes. The ''Māyā'' is acting like that. In the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' also it is said, ''mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sa-carācaram'' ([[BG 9.10 (1972)|BG 9.10]]): "Under My superintendence, ''prakṛti'', the nature, or ''Māyā'', is acting." ''Chāyeva yasya bhuvanāni vibharti durgā''.

And next line, ''icchānurūpam api yasya ca ceṣṭate sā'', that ''Māyā'' is acting under the direction of the Personality. And who is that personality? ''Govindam adi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi''. "That personality is Govinda, the Supreme Person. I am offering my respectful obeisances." So ''Māyā'' is acting under the direction of Kṛṣṇa just like the shadow is moving under the movement of the original.

So ''Māyā's'' position is not degraded. Don't think like that. Therefore Vaiṣṇava offers all respect to ''Māyā'', because she is working under Kṛṣṇa. She is Vaiṣṇavī.

She is also energy of Kṛṣṇa. Therefore she is also Vaiṣṇavī. In the Caṇḍī . . . (break) (end)

Prabhupāda: Who has taken your Deity?

Bīrabhadra: Who has taken Him? I don't know. Somebody, they broke in the house, they took one typewriter and the sewing machine, and I think it's . . .

Prabhupāda: Who? Typewriter? When?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Last night. Yesterday we just got a new sewing machine . . .

Prabhupāda: Heh?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: . . . a very expensive sewing machine, and they stole it.

Prabhupāda: Sewing machine?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: And a typewriter. It was taken from the house.

Revatīnandana: While we were at Griffith Park with ''kīrtana'' party they broke into our house and took it.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes.

Prabhupāda: So that quarter is not nice?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No, it's not a nice quarter. So we'll take more precautions now.

Prabhupāda: Somebody must remain always.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Okay.

Prabhupāda: That is the only precaution.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, that's what I was thinking.

Prabhupāda: I think in our apartment also somebody must remain. Here, this is . . . in New York also I lost my typewriter, tape recorder. In 72nd St. at daytime, at nine o'clock. I went to take my meals in Dr. Mishra's place at about nine, and when I came back we saw the door is broken. That superintendent, he was a Negro. He has done, I know that. This is very common case here. You purchased new machine and new . . .?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: The tape recorder . . . I mean the sewing machine was Śīlavatī's. She has sent it down here with Dineśa. Two or three hours before, I had just gotten it.

Prabhupāda: Your tape recorder also?

Dineśa: No. I had brought the sewing machine from Śīlavatī in San Francisco. Yes. This sewing machine.

Prabhupāda: And typewriter, whose?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: The typewriter was mine. I'd just . . . Puruṣottama had just brought it from New York from my parents to me. So less than a week, and they both are gone.

Prabhupāda: New typewriter?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Well, it was practically new. It was a very good typewriter.

Prabhupāda: What is the maker?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Olivetti. It's the portable.

Prabhupāda: Olivetti portable.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. A good one. But the sewing machine is very expensive. It may be 150 dollars,

Govinda dāsī: 163 dollars.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: 163 dollars. Very good.

Prabhupāda: So we have to take care. What can be done? Now you should be very careful, and somebody must remain there always.

Govinda dāsī: We live in a very good quarter, though. They live by Watts, and that's the . . . they live by Watts district, and Watts district is very notorious. There were seven-day riots of shooting and Negro revolts there about two years ago, three years ago. We live in a very nice quarter, but where they're living is in a very bad place.

Prabhupāda: So you will continue to live there? (chuckles)

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, it's in . . . (indistinct) . . . it's not directly in the worst area. It's not in Watts county. It's in a different area, but still . . . where you live is very good, though. I don't think there would be any theft. More safe.

Prabhupāda: Yes. It appears very respectable quarter.

All right. Read.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "Sañjaya said, Seeing Arjuna full of compassion and very sorrowful, his eyes brimming with tears, Madhusūdana, Kṛṣṇa, spoke the following words. ([[BG 2.1 (1972)|BG 2.1]])

"The Supreme Personality said: 'My dear Arjuna, how have these impurities come upon you? They are not at all befitting a man who knows the progressive values of life. They do not lead to higher planets, but to infamy ([[BG 2.2 (1972)|BG 2.2]]).' Purport . . ."

Prabhupāda: Now, Arjuna was sympathetic with his brothers and relatives, and he was practically crying, with tears in his eyes, and Kṛṣṇa said that it is non-Āryan. It is not befitting for an Āryan. Just see. He was so compassionate, but still, it is not approved by Kṛṣṇa.

Go on.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Purport: "The Sanskrit word Bhagavān is explained by the great authority Parāśara Muni, the father of Vyāsadeva. The Supreme Personality who possesses all riches, entire strength, entire fame, entire beauty, entire knowledge and entire renunciation is called Bhagavān. There are many persons who are very rich, very powerful, very beautiful, very famous, very learned and very much detached, but no one can claim that he is possessor of all these opulences entirely."

"Such a claim is applicable to Kṛṣṇa only, and as such He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. No living entity, including Brahmā, can possess such opulence. Neither Lord Śiva nor even Nārāyaṇa can possess such opulence as fully as Kṛṣṇa."

"By analytical study of such possessions it is concluded in the ''Brahma-saṁhitā'' by Lord Brahmā himself that Lord Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Nobody is equal to or above Him. He is the primeval Lord, or Bhagavān, known as Govinda, and He is the supreme cause of all causes. It is stated as follows:"

"There are many personalities possessing the qualities of Bhagavān, but Kṛṣṇa is supreme over all of them because none can excel Him. He is the Supreme Person and His body is eternal, full of knowledge and bliss. He is the primeval Lord Govinda and the cause of all causes."

"In the ''Bhāgavatam'' also there is a list of many incarnations of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but Kṛṣṇa is described therein as the original Personality from whom many, many incarnations and Personalities of Godhead expand. It is stated in this way:"

"All the lists of the incarnations of Godhead submitted herewith are either plenary expansions or parts of the plenary expansions of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself. Therefore Kṛṣṇa is the original Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Absolute Truth, the source of both Supersoul and the impersonal Brahman."

"In the presence of the Supreme Person, Arjuna's lamentation for his kinsmen is certainly unbecoming, and therefore Kṛṣṇa expressed His surprise with the word kutas, 'wherefrom.' Such unmanly sentiments were never expected from a person belonging to the civilized class of men known as Āryans."

"The word Āryan is applicable to persons who know the value of life and have a civilization based on spiritual realization. Persons who are led by the material conception of life do not know that the aim of life is realization of the Absolute Truth, Viṣṇu, or Bhagavān. Such persons are captivated by the external features . . ."

Prabhupāda: But at the present moment they claim that, "We belong to the Āryan family," but they have not the qualification of an Āryan. The Āryan qualification is described there. Simply Arjuna was little flickering, he showed his little weakness, and he was at once condemned as non-Āryan, "Oh, you are just showing your symptom of a non-Āryan." You see. And by Kṛṣṇa. But, the Āryan word is not ordinary. To become Āryan means a perfect human being, as far as possible. That is Āryan civilization.

Go on.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "Such persons are captivated by the external features of the material world, and therefore they do not know what liberation is. Persons who have no knowledge of liberation from material bondage are called non-Āryans. Arjuna was trying to deviate from his prescribed duties, declining to fight, although he was a ''kṣatriya'', or warrior.

"This act of cowardice is described as befitting the non-Āryans. Such deviation from duty does not help one in the progress of spiritual life, nor does it even give one the opportunity of becoming famous in this world. Lord Kṛṣṇa did not approve of the so-called compassion of Arjuna for his kinsmen."

Prabhupāda: So-called compassion. He was thinking that by showing that compassion he'll be, I mean to say, eulogized by Kṛṣṇa. But Kṛṣṇa condemned it. Yes. Just the opposite. In other words, Kṛṣṇa is very strict also. That is the qualification of Kṛṣṇa and His associates.

''Vajrād api kaṭhora and kusumād api kamala''. Softer than the flower and harder than the thunderbolt. Two sides. When Kṛṣṇa is strict He's harder than the thunderbolt, and when He's soft, He's softer than the flower. These two examples are given. ''Vajrād api kaṭhora, kusumād api kamala''.

So Kṛṣṇa is not lenient to His friend or to His devotee. Because that leniency will not help him. Will not help him. Sometimes He appears to be very hard for the devotee, but He's not hard. Just like father sometimes becomes very strict. That is good. That will be proved, how Kṛṣṇa's hardness will prove his salvation. At the end Arjuna will admit, "By Your mercy, my illusion is now over."

So this sort of stricture by . . . from God on the devotee is sometimes misunderstood. Because we are always accustomed to accept what is immediately very pleasing, but sometimes we'll find that we are not getting which is immediately very pleasing. But we should not be disappointed. We shall stick to Kṛṣṇa. That is Arjuna's position.

Go on.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "O son of Pṛthā, do not yield to this degrading impotence." ([[BG 2.3 (1972)|BG 2.3]])

Prabhupāda: Hmm. Degrading impotence. He doesn't want to see (chuckling) His devotee a coward and impotent. So this so-called qualification, impotency and niggard, that is not qualification for devotee. He must be very, in every way, very expert and fit. Kṛṣṇa wants to see. Yes.

Go on.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "It does not become you. Give up such petty weakness of heart and arise, O chastiser of the enemy."

Prabhupāda: He's specially addressing, "Chastiser of the enemy." Where there is no excuse, you must be chastiser. Not that, "Because I have become Kṛṣṇa conscious, I'll be very humble." You must be humble, but in need, if there is need, you shall be thunderbolt. That is Kṛṣṇa instructing.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "Arjuna said: O killer of Madhu, Kṛṣṇa, how can I counterattack with arrows in battle personalities like Bhīṣma and Droṇa, who are worthy of my worship?" ([[BG 2.4 (1972)|BG 2.4]])

Prabhupāda: Of course, all explanation are not there. Here, these words, Kṛṣṇa addressed Arjuna, "chastiser of enemies." And Arjuna addresses Kṛṣṇa, "Madhusūdana," or the killer of the demon Madhu. "Yes, You are addressing me as chastiser of enemy, but do You think my grandfather, my teacher, they are my enemies? You killed demon Madhu, therefore Your name is Madhusūdana, but You are asking me to kill my grandfather and teacher." That is the hint. "It is all right that Your name is Madhusūdana. You killed one demon whose name was Madhu, but You are asking me, Bhīṣmasūdana? Bhīṣma is my grandfather. And Droṇasūdana?" Sūdana means killer. "So how can I be that?" That is the answer.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "It is better to live in this world by begging than to live at the cost of the lives of great souls who are my teachers. Even though they are avaricious, they are nonetheless superiors. If they are killed, then our spoils will be tainted with blood." ([[BG 2.5 (1972)|BG 2.5]])

Prabhupāda: This is another indication how superiors should be shown respect. Arjuna says: "Although they have become avaricious, still, they are my superior." Avaricious, why? "They have got full affection for me. My grandfather Bhīṣma has got full affection for me. And Droṇācārya, I am his very dear student, so he has also my very affection . . . good affection for me.

But because Duryodhana has paid them, he has accepted their service. Paid them. So avaricious. Simply for money, in spite of so much affection and intimate relationship, they have accepted the service of Duryodhana, counting on money. So therefore they are avaricious. But in spite of their being avaricious, they are my respectful."

This is respect. This is respect, that the respectful person who is my respectful, even there are some characteristics who does not command respect, still respect should be offered. This is respectful offering. Yes. Sometimes it may be . . . the example is given, in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' you'll find, ''api cet sudarācāro bhajate mām ananya-bhāk sādhur eva sa mantavyaḥ'' ([[BG 9.30 (1972)|BG 9.30]]): "Even a devotee is sometimes found not acting properly, but because he has got that unflinching faith and devotion upon Me," Kṛṣṇa says: "therefore he is saint." Only for that one qualification—he does not know except Kṛṣṇa.

So to such person, even some flaws are found in their character . . . just like we have imposed some rules that illicit sex relationship and intoxication, meat-eating, so many things. So . . . of course, intentionally one should not break these laws. But even sometimes we may find that there is some flaw in one's part . . . suppose if I see somebody smoking, but he is doing Kṛṣṇa consciousness very nicely. So we should not deride.

We shall give him concession to reform. It does not mean that because he has accidentally smoked, smoking, that does not mean he has become immediately disqualified. As Arjuna is showing, "Although they have become avaricious, still, they are my superiors. Still. Still, they are my superiors."

This is. This is called unflinching faith. In spite of seeing my respectful superior abominable, not willingly, but by accident, still, I should not withdraw my respect. That is the . . . hmm.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "Nor do we know which is better, conquering them or being conquered by them. The sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, whom if we killed we should not care to live, are now standing before us on this battlefield." ([[BG 2.6 (1972)|BG 2.6]])

Purport: "Arjuna became perplexed in this connection, not knowing whether he should execute the fighting with the risk of committing unnecessarily violence, although it is the duty of the ''kṣatriyas'', or whether he should not and prefer instead to live by begging. Because if he did not conquer the enemy, begging would be the only means left for his living. There was no certainty of victory, because either side might emerge victorious."

Prabhupāda: These are his causes of perplexities, how he was thinking, that has been tried to be explained.

Yes, go on.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "Even if there were victory awaiting them, because their cause was justified, still, if the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra should die in battle, it would be very difficult to live in their absence. Under the circumstances that would be another kind of defeat. All these considerations by Arjuna definitely proved that he was not only a great devotee of the Lord but that he was also highly enlightened and had complete control over his mind and senses."

"His desire to live by begging although he was born in the royal household is another sign of detachment. He was fully in the quality of forbearance as all these qualities combined with his faith in the words of instruction of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, his spiritual master, give evidence."

"It is concluded that Arjuna was quite fit for liberation. Unless the senses are controlled, there is no chance of elevation to the platform of knowledge, and without knowledge and devotion there is no chance of liberation. Arjuna was competent in all these attributes over and above his enormous attributes in his material relationships."

Prabhupāda: Go on.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "Now I am confused about . . ."

Prabhupāda: Yes. What is there?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "Now I am confused about duty and have lost all composure because of weakness. In this condition I am asking You to tell me clearly what is best for me. Now I am Your disciple and a soul surrendered unto You. Please instruct me." ([[BG 2.7 (1972)|BG 2.7]])

Purport: "By nature's own way, the complete system of material activities is a source of perplexity for everyone. In every step there is perplexity, and it behooves one therefore to approach a bona fide spiritual master who can give one the proper guidance for executing the purpose of life. All Vedic literatures advise us to approach a bona fide spiritual master to get free from the perplexities of life, which happen without our desire.

They appear like a forest fire which takes place without being set by anyone. Similarly, the world situation is such that perplexities of life automatically appear without our wanting such confusion. Nobody wants fire, and yet it takes place and we are perplexed.

"The Vedic wisdom therefore advises that in order to solve the perplexities of life and to understand the science of the solution one must approach a spiritual master who is in disciplic succession. A person with a bona fide spiritual master is supposed to know everything. One should not therefore remain in material . . ."

Prabhupāda: This is a translation of a Vedic version, ''ācāryavān puruṣo veda'' (''Chāndogya Upaniṣad'' 6.14.2).

Ācāryavān, one who has ''ācārya'' as his guidance, he is supposed to know everything. ''Ācāryavān puruṣo veda''. That is been given there.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "One should not, therefore, remain in material perplexities but should approach such a teacher. This is the purport of this verse. Who is the man in material perplexities? It is he who does not understand the problems of life."

"In the ''Garga Upaniṣad'' this is described as follows: He is a miserly man who does not solve the problems of life as a human and who thus quits this world like the cats and dogs, without understanding the science of self-realization. He is called a miserly man. This human form of life is the most valuable asset for the living entity, who can utilize it for solving the problems of life. Therefore one who does not utilize this opportunity is a miser."

Prabhupāda: As a miser does not properly use his asset . . . suppose you have got one million dollar, you keep it only, you do not use it properly or you spoil it, then you are called miser. But if you utilize it properly and gain out of it, then you are intelligent.

Similarly, ''Garga Upaniṣad'' says, makes distinction, two classes. One class of men he says ''kṛpaṇa. Kṛpaṇa'' means miser. And another class of men he says ''brāhmaṇa, brahmins''.

So he classifies, ''etad viditvāsmāt ya praiti sa brāhmaṇaḥ''. This self-realization process . . . we shall die. It is sure. Every one of us will die. But we should not die like cats and dogs. That is the difference. We may die. We must die. Nobody can escape death. But before death we must know what is self and self-realization. They are ''brahmins''.

Those who are trying to understand what he is, what is his relation with God and how he should live, they are called ''brāhmaṇas''. And those who are living like cats and dogs, simply eating, sleeping, mating and dying, so they are dying like cats and dogs.

So death is inevitable. That is also advised by Prahlāda Mahārāja in his instruction to his class fellows, ''kaumāra ācaret prājño dharmān bhāgavatān iha'' ([[SB 7.6.1]]).

"My dear friends, from this beginning of life—we are now five years old—from this life we should try to understand ''bhāgavata-dharma''." ''Bhāgavata-dharma'' means to understand our relationship with the Supreme Lord. That is called ''bhāgavata-dharma''. ''Mānuṣam adhruvam. Tad apy adhruvam''. Although the life is temporary, but it is very suitable for self-realization. So therefore one should begin this process from childhood.

Just like modern education system, if children are given some playthings, engineering . . . I've seen in your country especially; he's given railway line and so many things. He can understand how railway system is working, or engineering, so that from the very beginning of his life he's getting idea and he may catch up some line of activities. Similarly, this Kṛṣṇa conscious education also should be given from the very beginning of life.

That is the mistake of the modern civilization. Everyone is becoming engineering, technologist or medical man or so many. But the real problem of life is to understand the self. But there is no educational system throughout the whole world what is the self, what is his need, how it is constituted, how it is working, so many things. In Boston, there was a Massachusetts Technological . . . you know that?

Devotee: Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Prabhupāda: Yes. So I explained there that, "Here is a nice technological institute, but where is your this technological department, to understand?" So the students very much appreciated it.

Factually, this is the defect. We know—this will be the beginning of ''Bhagavad-gītā''—that there is something which minus, this body is useless. But nobody is trying to understand what is that something. There is no technological institute to understand what is that something. Is it not defective? And still, they are very much proud of advancement of education.

The real thing is missing. You have got all departments for comforts of this body, for maintaining this body, but the thing which minus this body, the body is useless, what about that thing? That is ''Bhagavad-gītā''. That is ''Bhagavad-gītā. Bhagavad-gītā ''is teaching that technology.

You should try to understand this. ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is not technology for the external body. ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is the technology of the ''dehī'', which is within the body, which is moving the body, which is keeping the body fit. This body is fit, very nice, very beautiful, very attractive. How long? So long the spirit soul is there.

As soon as the spirit soul is off, immediately it begins to decompose. There may be a nice, beautiful young girl, everyone is hankering after her, but as soon as the spirit soul is gone, nobody will like to accept it. Immediately it becomes useless. (laughs) Huh? So nobody is very serious what is that thing. That is ''Bhagavad-gītā''.

Yes?

Śrīmatī: Is that what age is, then? As the spirit soul is leaving the body, do you become older?

Prabhupāda: No, spirit soul is not old. The body is changing; that is the process. That will be explained:

:''dehino 'smin yathā dehe''
:''kaumāraṁ yauvanaṁ jarā''
:''tathā dehāntara-prāptir''
:''dhīras tatra na muhyati''
:([[BG 2.13 (1972)|BG 2.13]])

Spirit soul is evergreen. The body is changing. That is to be understood. Body is changing. That everyone can understand. Just like in your childhood your body was different. Just like this child, a different body. And when that child will be young girl, that will be a different body. But the spirit soul is there in this body and that body. So this is the proof that spirit soul does not change; the body changed.

This is the proof. I am thinking of my childhood. That means I am the same "I" which I was existing in my childhood, and I remember in my childhood I was doing this, I did that. But that childhood body is no longer. That is gone. Therefore it is conclusion that my body has changed, but I am the same. Is it not? This is simple truth.

So this body will change, still I shall remain. I may enter into another body, that doesn't matter, but I shall remain. ''Tathā dehāntara-prāptir dhīras tatra na muhyati'' ([[BG 2.13 (1972)|BG 2.13]]). As I am changing my body even in the present circumstances, similarly, the ultimate change does not mean I am dead. I enter into another . . . that also explained, ''vāsāṁsi jīrṇāni yathā'' ([[BG 2.22 (1972)|BG 2.22]]), that I change.

Just like when I was not ''sannyāsī'', I was dressing like any gentleman. Now I have changed my dress. That does not mean that I have died. No. I have changed my body, that's all. I have changed my dress.

Go on.

(aside) Not now.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "Who is the man in material perplexity . . ." Oh, we read that. "The ''kṛpaṇas'' . . ."

Prabhupāda: Yes. ''Kṛpaṇas'', yes, you were reading there.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: ". . . or miserly persons, waste their time in being overly affectionate for family, society, country, etc., in the material conception of life. One is often attached to family life, to wife and children and other members on the basis of 'skin disease.' The ''kṛpaṇas'' think that they are able to protect their family members from death, or the ''kṛpaṇa'' thinks that his family or society can save him from death. Such family attachment can be found even in the lower animals, who also take care of children.

"Being intelligent, Arjuna could understand that his affection for family members and his wish to protect them from death were the causes of his perplexities. Although he could understand that his duty to fight was awaiting him, still, on account of miserly weakness, he could not discharge the duty.

"He is therefore asking Lord Kṛṣṇa, the supreme spiritual master, to make a definite solution. He offers himself to Kṛṣṇa as a disciple. He wants to stop friendly talks. Talks between a master and disciple are serious, and now Arjuna wants to talk very seriously before the recognized spiritual master. Kṛṣṇa is therefore the original . . ."

Prabhupāda: Here is a technique. The same Kṛṣṇa and same Arjuna, they are talking as friends. Then what was the necessity of Arjuna accepting Kṛṣṇa as spiritual master? The same Arjuna and same Kṛṣṇa, they'll talk, but what is the necessity of accepting as spiritual master? That means after accepting spiritual master he'll not argue. He'll simply accept whatever He says. That is the technique.

Friendly talks, equal level, He . . . Kṛṣṇa was talking something and he was replying. So that argument has no end. But when he accepts Him as spiritual master, there is no more argument. One has to accept whatever He says. Therefore he's accepting as spiritual master. After this, Arjuna will never say, "This is wrong, this is, no," or "I don't agree." No. He'll accept.

So acceptance of spiritual master means to accept anything whatever he says. Therefore one has to select a spiritual master whom he can completely surrender. That is the technique. ''Veda-vākya''. Just like in the Vedic injunction, nobody can deny. Similarly, spiritual master is also representative of Veda. ''Ācāryavān puruṣo veda'' (''Chāndogya Upaniṣad'' 6.14.2).

So similarly, it is just like Vedic injunction.

So spiritual master has also got the great duty. He has to instruct the disciple in such a way that he may not be misled, and that is not possible, because a spiritual master is he who will simply speak from authoritative sources. He'll speak from ''Bhagavad-gītā, Bhāgavata'', or what was spoken by Nārada, Vyāsa. That is his authority. He does not say: "In my opinion it is . . ." No.

Therefore it is perfect, it is coming from the disciplic succession, and if one agrees to such instruction, then he's also perfectly advancing. It is not difficult to understand. So he's accepting. "Now I accept You as my spiritual master. You teach me." Is that the statement?

Yes. What is that?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "He offers himself to Kṛṣṇa as a disciple. He wants to stop friendly talks. Kṛṣṇa is therefore the original spiritual master in the science of the ''Bhagavad-gītā'', and Arjuna is the original disciple in understanding the ''Gītā''."

"How Arjuna understands the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is stated in the ''Gītā'' itself, and yet foolish mundane scholars explain that one need not submit to Kṛṣṇa as a person but to the unborn within Kṛṣṇa. There is no difference between Kṛṣṇa's within and without, and one who has no sense of this understanding is the greatest fool, the greatest pretender."

"I can find no means to drive away this grief which is drying up my senses. I will not even be able to destroy it if I win an unrivalled kingdom on the earth with sovereignty like the demigods in heaven." ([[BG 2.8 (1972)|BG 2.8]])

"Sañjaya said: Having spoken thus, Arjuna, chastiser of enemies, told Kṛṣṇa, 'Govinda, I shall not fight,' and fell silent." ([[BG 2.9 (1972)|BG 2.9]])

"O descendant of Bharata, at that time Kṛṣṇa, smiling in the midst of both the armies, spoke the following words to the grief-stricken Arjuna." ([[BG 2.10 (1972)|BG 2.10]])

Prabhupāda: So Arjuna was so serious, and Kṛṣṇa was smiling. (laughs) "Just see the fool, what he is doing." Therefore there was necessity of instructing ''Bhagavad-gītā''. The fool has to be instructed. Yes. This is the . . . He was smiling.

This is childish. He was very serious, "Oh." Just like sometimes a child is very serious, and the father is smiling. Yes. So now ''Bhagavad-gītā'' will be spoken. He has accepted Kṛṣṇa as spiritual master. Now He'll teach. So what does He teach?

Next?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "The Blessed Lord said: While speaking learned words, you are mourning for what is not worthy of grief. Those who are wise lament neither for the living nor the dead." ([[BG 2.11 (1972)|BG 2.11]])

Prabhupāda: This is the first version of Kṛṣṇa as teacher.

What is that? Read it again.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "Those who are wise lament neither for the living nor the dead."

Prabhupāda: Yes. ''Aśocyān anvaśocas tvaṁ prajñā-vādāṁś ca bhāṣase'' ([[BG 2.11 (1972)|BG 2.11]]) that, "You are lamenting for a thing which no learned man does. That means you are not learned, but you are talking just like a learned man."

What is that? "You are talking"?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "While speaking learned words you are . . ."

Prabhupāda: Yes. "You are speaking learned words, but your behavior shows that you are not learned, because you are lamenting on a subject which no learned man laments." And politely He says that "You are not learned, but you are talking just like a learned man." That you will find. Dr. Frog, (laughs) speaking like a very great philosopher.

Just like here, that Dr. Radhakrishnan, that says: "It is not to Kṛṣṇa but within Kṛṣṇa." That fool does not know that there is no within or without of Kṛṣṇa. Rather, Kṛṣṇa is within and without. That he does not know. And he's accepted as a very great, learned man, Dr. Frog, or Dr. Radhakrishnan. You see?

This is going on in the world. They are posing themself as very learned, but . . . this can be detected by devotees: who is learned and who is not learned. Others cannot detect. Others will be misled. The devotees, they have got such eyes to see that they can immediately, I mean, discriminate who is a fool, who is learned.

There is a story that one man was searching after the truth. So he met some person, saintly person. So he gave him one feather, that "You try to see within the feather who is a human being and who is not." So when he began to see within the feather, he saw, "There is no human being." Similarly:

:''ajñāna-timirāndhasya''
:''jñānāñjana-śalākayā''
:''cakṣur unmīlitaṁ yena''
:''tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ''

Guru, or the spiritual master . . .

(break) . . . means pure devotee.

Bīrabhadra: In the ''āśrama'', and before that when you said that a ''brāhmaṇa'' is . . . do you mean, when you say ''brāhmaṇa'', do you mean . . . I mean are they . . . the devotees who are not pure but . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes, they're also pure devotees because they're following my instruction. Just like a technician, he is expert, but somebody is assisting him. So the assistants, because they are following the instruction of the expert, therefore their work is also complete. So it is not necessarily that one has to become pure devotee immediately.

Just like we are also following the instruction of our spiritual master. I don't claim that I am pure devotee or perfect, but my only qualification is that I am trying to follow the instruction of the perfect. Similarly . . . this is called disciplic succession. Just like here it is stated that Kṛṣṇa is the original spiritual master and Arjuna is the original student.

So Arjuna said that ''sarvam etad ṛtaṁ manye yad vadasi keśava'' ([[BG 10.14 (1972)|BG 10.14]]): "My dear Kṛṣṇa, whatever You are saying, I accept in total," in the Tenth Chapter. I don't make . . . just like Dr. Radhakrishnan says: "It is not to Kṛṣṇa, it is something else." He does not accept in that way. He says that, "Whatever You are saying, I accept it. You are saying that You are the Supreme, I accept it. I don't say that You have got a separate thing within. That is Supreme—You are not Supreme, as person." This is impersonalist. They do not know that Kṛṣṇa has no such . . .

A conditioned soul . . . just like we are, I am different from my soul. "I am" means I am my body, or I am soul, different from the body. So Kṛṣṇa has no such differentiation. He does not know that, because he's not following Kṛṣṇa, the perfect spiritual master. He's following some rascal spiritual master. Therefore he has this mistake. But if we follow Arjuna and Kṛṣṇa, then we get the perfect knowledge. May not be cent per cent perfect, but as far as possible, if we follow the instruction as it is, that much perfect. In this way one will get perfection.

So one has to follow. The same example, try to understand, that a perfect, expert technologist or technician or mechanic is working, and somebody is working under his instruction. So this somebody, because he is strictly working under the instruction of the expert, he's also expert. He may not be cent per cent expert, but his work is expert. Is that clear? Because he is working under the expert. Do you follow?

So if you follow pure devotee, then you are also pure devotee. It may not be one is cent per cent pure, because we are trying to raise ourself from the conditional life. But if we strictly follow the pure devotee, then we are also pure devotee. So far we do, that is pure.

So pure devotee does not mean one has to become immediately cent per cent pure. But if he sticks to the principle that, "We'll follow a pure devotee," then his actions are . . . he is as good as a pure devotee. That is a . . . it is not I am explaining in my own way; it is the explanation of ''Bhāgavata. Mahājano yena gataḥ sa panthāḥ'' ([[CC Madhya 17.186]]).

We have to follow the footprints of pure devotees. It is said that ''tarkaḥ apratiṣṭhaḥ''. If you want to become pure by your arguments and logic, that is not possible. I may be defeated by another strong man, who is stronger in argument than me. So this is not the way of becoming purified, ''tarka'', simply arguing.

''Tarkaḥ apratiṣṭhaḥ smṛtayo vibhinnāḥ'' ([[CC Madhya 17.186]]). ''Śrutayaḥ'', scriptures. Suppose somebody sticks to the scriptures. So scriptures, there are different types of scripture. So they are ''vibhinna. Vibhinna'' means different types. So how we can become purified by . . . even by following the scriptures?

:''tarko 'pratiṣṭhaḥ śrutayo vibhinnā ''
:''nāsāv ṛṣir yasya mataṁ na bhinnam''
:([[CC Madhya 17.186]])

''Muni'' means thoughtful, philosophers. If we follow a particular type of philosopher, that is also not perfect, because I may be under the care of a philosopher, frog philosopher. So that is also not sure.

''Tarko 'pratiṣṭhaḥ smṛtayo vibhinnā na cāsāv ṛṣir yasya mataṁ na bhinnam, dharmasya tattvaṁ nihitaṁ guhāyām''. Therefore to become pure or to understand the essence of purity is very confidential. It is not to be acquired by our own efforts, by argument or by being expert in scripture or by becoming a philosopher or a similar way. It is very confidential. Then how? ''Mahājano yena gataḥ sa panthāḥ'' (''Mahābhārata Vana Parva'' 313.117).

You have to follow a pure devotee, acknowledged devotee.

Similarly, in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'', if we follow Arjuna, then we understand ''Bhagavad-gītā'' as it is. But if we don't follow Arjuna, if we follow somebody, Dr. Frog, or create our own interpretation, then we remain impure. So ''mahājano yena gataḥ sa panthāḥ''. We have to follow the footprints of ''mahājana'', great soul. So here is directly you are meeting great soul, Arjuna. He is directly being taught ''Bhagavad-gītā'' by the original teacher. Who can be greater authority than Arjuna?

So as Arjuna accepts ''Bhagavad-gīta'', if you accept ''Bhagavad-gītā'' in that way, then your study of ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is perfect. It is very simple. Therefore I'm saying here that Kṛṣṇa is the original teacher, and Arjuna is the original student. So you follow the original student, you understand ''Bhagavad-gītā'', even Kṛṣṇa is not present before you. He is present by His words. This is the way of following what is pure.

Yes?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Can Kṛṣṇa give us the ability to someday remember every word that you are saying to us now? Because I, myself, I forget so much. I want to hear just how you are talking and I can't.

Prabhupāda: What is that? (chuckles) I don't follow.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I want to be able to hear you saying exactly what you're saying now. I want to always be able to hear it, but I forget.

Prabhupāda: Why?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: My memory is very poor.

Prabhupāda: No. If we try . . . memory may be poor. Everything depends on cultivation. If you cultivate something, your memory increases. Everyone becomes expert not in one day, but by cultivation. Similarly, if you try to remember, then your memory will help you to remember. It is not difficult. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā, that we have to try to remember Kṛṣṇa. He's so beautiful, His instructions are so nice, if we simply remember Kṛṣṇa . . .

That was the perfection approved by Lord Caitanya. I think I have narrated the story. When Lord Caitanya was traveling in South India in a big temple, Raṅganātha temple, He went to see the Deity, and He saw one ''brahmin'' was reading ''Bhagavad-gītā''. And people were joking him, "Oh, Mr. ''brahmin'', how you are reading ''Bhagavad-gītā''?"

Because they were the neighbors, they knew that this ''brahmin'' was illiterate and he was studying ''Bhagavad-gītā''. So they were joking. But the ''brahmin'' did not care them. He was taking the book, and in his own way he was reading.

Caitanya Mahāprabhu saw this incidence, He came to the ''brahmin''. So He asked the ''brahmin'', "My dear ''brahmin'', what you are reading?" So he could understand, "This persons is not joking with me; He is serious." So he explained, "My dear sir, I am reading ''Bhagavad-gītā''.

Unfortunately, I am illiterate. I do not know even the alphabets." "Why you are reading ''Bhagavad-gītā''?" So he said that, "My spiritual master knows that I am illiterate, but still, he has asked me to read ''Bhagavad-gītā''. What can I do? Therefore I have taken this book. I am seeing simply. I do not know how to read."

"Oh, that's all right. You cannot read. But I see that you are crying. How you are crying if you are not reading?" "Yes, I am crying, of course. There is cause." "What is that?" "As soon as I take this ''Bhagavad-gītā'', I remember Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is sitting as driver, and Arjuna is hearing. I have heard the story. I know something of the instruction but cannot read.

"So as soon as I take this book, this picture comes before me, and I simply think, 'Oh, how Kṛṣṇa is nice that He has become a charioteer of His devotee. He is so great. Still, He has accepted a menial service of His devotee.' This gives me so much pleasure that I cry." Caitanya Mahāprabhu embraced him, "Your ''Bhagavad-gītā'' reading is perfect. You have taken the essence."

So this is the thing. If you simply remember Kṛṣṇa is teaching Arjuna and Arjuna is hearing, if you simply remember the picture, that is sufficient. Even if you think that you cannot read. Because after all, we have to become Kṛṣṇa conscious. We haven't got to become a learned man to argue with another learned man.

If it is possible we can do that, but that does not make any difference if I cannot argue with others or if I cannot teach very nicely ''Bhagavad-gītā'' to others. Simply if I remember this picture, that is perfection. Because we have to become Kṛṣṇa conscious. We have to simply think of Kṛṣṇa. You think in any way; that is your perfection. ''Smartavyaḥ satataṁ viṣṇuḥ'' (''Padma Purāṇa'').

This is the injunction. You have to think of Viṣṇu always. This is ''samādhi''; this is meditation; this is ''yoga siddhi'', perfection of ''yoga''. So one who has learned to think of Kṛṣṇa always, he is already on the perfectional stage. ''Ārādhito yadi haris tapasā tataḥ kim'' (''Nārada Pañcarātra'' 1.2.6).

If one has come to this stage, just to understand Kṛṣṇa the great, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and he's surrendered soul, "Kṛṣṇa, whatever You like You do. I am surrendered . . ." This is ''ārādhana''. Then he doesn't require to undergo any austerities or penance. His everything is finished. And ''nārādhito yadi haris tapasā tataḥ kim''. And if he does not come to this stage, his so-called scholarship, learned argument, this or that—all nonsense, finished. Useless. One has to come to this stage.

Therefore Lord Caitanya embraced the ''brahmin'', "Yes, your study of ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is perfect." Because one has to come to this stage, thinking of Kṛṣṇa always. So if one does not come to this stage, simply by academic education he says: "It should be like this. The interpretation should be like this," he's simply wasting time. Frog philosopher. One has to come to this stage. ''Ārādhito yadi haris tapasā tataḥ kim, nārādhito yadi haris tapasā tataḥ kim''. So that is the perfection.

Kṛṣṇa and ''gopīs ''. . . they were cowherds girl. Their father, mother, they were only ordinary village men, keeping cows. That's all. What was their education? They were not Vedāntist. But they learned to love Kṛṣṇa. That was their qualification. And Caitanya Mahāprabhu certifies, ''ramyad upāsanā vraja-vadhu-vargeṇa va kalpita'' (''Caitanya mañjusā''):

"Oh, there is no better worship than that which was contemplated by the ''gopīs''." Because they did not know what is Kṛṣṇa, but they loved Kṛṣṇa. That's all. They loved Kṛṣṇa that because Kṛṣṇa was God or Kṛṣṇa was something great? No. Their natural affection was for Kṛṣṇa. They could not stay even for a moment without seeing Kṛṣṇa. That was their qualification. This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Bīrabhadra: How come a lotus flower is so great?

Prabhupāda: He will explain. He will explain.

So, one has to come to perfect Kṛṣṇa consciousness some way or other. That is perfection. That is everything. If one always thinks of Kṛṣṇa, then he is perfect. We should not forget. We have presented so many formulas. Why? Not the formulas are important, but the formulas will help me to remember Kṛṣṇa always.

Just like you are going to sell our magazines. So this magazine selling or taking some contribution is not our business. Our business is that we are spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness, people are hearing about something about Kṛṣṇa. And because we are helping, we are also hearing. We are also benefiting. When you speak somebody about Kṛṣṇa, then I hear also Kṛṣṇa. ''Śravaṇaṁ kīrtanam'' ([[SB 7.5.23-24|SB 7.5.23]]).

The first preliminary steps, hearing and chanting, is going on. So in this way we shall take all opportunities so that twenty-four hours, whether awakened or sleeping, we shall always think of Kṛṣṇa. That is perfection.

This chanting means always remembering Kṛṣṇa—Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma. Cooking, I am cooking for Kṛṣṇa; I am typing for Kṛṣṇa; I am going to preach for Kṛṣṇa; I'm distributing ''Back to Godhead'' for Kṛṣṇa. In this way (laughs) always remember Kṛṣṇa, that's all. That will make you perfect.

Yes?

Devotee: Did Kṛṣṇa have children by the ''gopīs''?

Prabhupāda: No. Kṛṣṇa's love was not this love, sex love. That was different thing.

Yes?

Viṣṇujana: When we're engaged in spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness by your singing or selling ''Back to Godheads'' or speaking with people, if through our senses, like seeing or hearing or touching and smelling, our mind gets distracted even while we're engaged in selling ''Back to Godhead'', then how can we always . . . how can we always return to that point of remembering even though our senses are being dragged by billboard signs and so many . . .

Prabhupāda: No, suppose you are selling ''Back to Godhead''. Does it not remind you Kṛṣṇa? Does it not remind you about Kṛṣṇa? What for you are selling ''Back to Godhead''? You could sell another popular magazine which could sell very nicely, quickly, thousands of copies. Why you have taken this ''Back to Godhead''? For Kṛṣṇa. You are not for business.

You are not ordinary, I mean to say, newspaper seller. Why you have taken ''Back to Godhead''? Your motive is that people may know about Kṛṣṇa. That is your motive. If magazine selling is your business, you can take any other sense gratificatory magazine. There are so many. And you can sell, you can make some profit.

So we have to mold our life in such a way that we shall always remember Kṛṣṇa. Therefore remembering Kṛṣṇa is my primary business. And we have to act in such a way that we may not forget Kṛṣṇa. That should be the principle. That is the secret. Therefore it is equally good for anyone, because we can engage anyone in the business of Kṛṣṇa.

If somebody has no, I mean to say, knowledge, he can simply sweep over the floor of Kṛṣṇa's temple. That will make him remembering Kṛṣṇa, that, "I am cleansing the floor of Kṛṣṇa's temple." He's as good as the editor of ''Back to Godhead''.

Yes?

Devotee: How does the devotee go about practicing this Kṛṣṇa consciousness when he's asleep?

Prabhupāda: Yes. Just as sleep means your gross senses are stopped, but your mind works; therefore you dream. So if you practice your mind to be engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, in dream also you'll see that you are preparing ''prasādam'', "I am going to sell ''Back to Godhead''." (chuckles) That's all. Sometimes some nights when I feel hungry, I dream that I'm eating ''kṛṣṇa-prasādam'' very sumptuous. (laughing)

Devotee: Oh, haribol! (laughing)

Prabhupāda: (laughs) Somebody is supplying me nice ''paraṭā'', and I am eating. (laughs) But, being hungry, oh, my hunger is not satisfied. I'm eating, eating, till the dream is end.

So if you practice, this is the technique. We have to practice in this way, that when all functions of this body will be stopped at the time of death, oh, we shall remember, some way or other, Kṛṣṇa. Then successful. Immediately successful. That is the technique. Therefore Kulaśekhara is praying:

:''kṛṣṇa tvadīya-pada-paṅkaja-pañjarāntam''
:''adyaiva viśatu me mānasa-rāja-haṁsaḥ''
:''prāṇa-prayāṇa-samaye kapha-vāta-pittaiḥ''
:''kaṇṭhāvarodhana-vidhau smaraṇaṁ kutas te''
(''Mukunda-mālā-stotra'' 33)

The devotee, a great devotee, King Kulaśekhara. He has a nice book, ''Mukunda-mālā-stotra''. I began translating, commenting, this line in Vṛndāvana. So in the first verse is he's comparing his mind with the swan. You have seen . . . I think you have seen, Jayānanda, when we were walking in Seattle in that park, in a lake the swan were diving near the lotus. You have seen? Yes. That is the practice. The swan takes pleasure where there is, I mean to say, what is called, lotus or lily, lilies. There's a stem. They dive and they entangle their long neck with the . . . that is their sporting.

So Kṛṣṇa's lotus feet, we call, lotus feet. So he says that, "My mind may be entangled with the stem of Your lotus feet just like the swan. Immediately. I can do that now, because I am in healthy state. Otherwise, at the time of death, ''kapha-vāta-pittaiḥ'', when mucus, bile, everything will be disordered, and my throat will be choked up, I will not be able to speak or chant. So why shall I wait for that time? Now I am fit. Let my mind be absorbed with Your thought and let me die immediately." That is the technique, that your mind should be always absorbed in Kṛṣṇa thought. So if by Kṛṣṇa's grace, at the time of that last moment of quitting this body, when every function of the body will be disordered we can remember Kṛṣṇa, then our life is successful.

So we have to practice this. This, everything, whatever we are doing, it is practicing for the last moment. There is a Bengali proverb, ''bhajana kara sādhana kara matte janle haya''. How you are advancing in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, that will be tested at the time of your death. The examination will be at that time. So if that technique becomes perfect, then our life is perfect. At once you are transferred to the Kṛṣṇaloka. ''Tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti kaunteya'' ([[BG 4.9 (1972)|BG 4.9]]): "My dear Kaunteya, My dear Arjuna, that person, after quitting this body, he never comes back again to this nonsense material world, but he comes to Me." That is perfection. People have no knowledge who is transferred, where it is transferred, what is God, what is . . . no. Nothing of the sort. Simply eat, drink, be merry and enjoy, and die like cats and dogs. That's all.

So we have tried to explain all these things in this ''Bhagavad-gītā'' As It Is. Try to read it repeatedly and you get all information, all techniques. This life should not be misused. That should be the first point. It should be very properly utilized in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Consciousness is there. Just absorb it in Kṛṣṇa. Consciousness must be absorbed in some thought. Make it Kṛṣṇa thought always.

Make your program in such a way that you cannot go out of Kṛṣṇa thought. Just like businessmen, they're always thinking, "What profit is there? What is the bank balance? And how the business is . . . how the profit is going?" They're always thinking of that. Somebody is thinking something. Everyone. If one is after some woman, he's thinking of that woman always. If one is after some man, (s)he's also thinking of that man.

So thinking must be there, some subject matter of thinking. That we have to change to Kṛṣṇa thinking, some way or other, transferring the thinking or consciousness to Kṛṣṇa. You do it in whatever way you like, but there are some standard way. If you follow, that will be easier. People have some idea of God; they accept. But simply having some idea of God, one cannot think. But here is a solid God, Kṛṣṇa, with two hands, playing flute, and one can think of Him.

''Premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti yaṁ śyāmasundaram'' (Bs. 5.38).

They're thinking of whom? Śyāmasundara. Śyāma, blackish, but very beautiful. ''Śyāmasundaram acintya-guṇa-svarūpam''. With transcendental qualities. ''Govindam adi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi''. "I am worshiping that Govinda." So we have to mold our life. This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. (devotees offer obeisances)

So you have got another good assistant?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Expert.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Now take some contribution and purchase one temple. (laughs) The ''saṅkīrtana's'' party's responsibility is increasing. Just find out some person, and give us a temple.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I found someone who will give us a big garage, but it's not a temple. A nice man.

Prabhupāda: Never mind garage. Let him begin. We shall sit down there in garage. He's giving for good or . . .

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No. He is volunteering. He's a businessman who has started to chant.

Prabhupāda: Oh.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: He's very nice.

Prabhupāda: So let him give us and we shall make our temple there in the garage. Where it is?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: He says it's nearby here. He said fifty people can come in.

Prabhupāda: Oh, that's all right.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: He said we should hold ''kīrtana'' there now.

Prabhupāda: And immediately.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, he's suggested it.

Prabhupāda: So do it immediately. It is Kṛṣṇa's grace. Never mind garage. We shall turn hell into heaven. (laughter)

:''nārāyaṇa-parāḥ sarve''
:''na kutaścana bibhyati''
:''svargāpavarga-narakeṣv''
:''api tulyārtha-darśinaḥ''
:([[SB 6.17.28]])

Svargāpavarga, heaven, or the Brahman effulgence or hell, all these are equal to a devotee. A devotee does not make any distinction, because he has always within his heart Kṛṣṇa. So either he goes to hell or heaven, it doesn't matter. You see? If Kṛṣṇa goes with him, then it is no longer hell. (laughs) Just like ''īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati'' ([[BG 18.61 (1972)|BG 18.61]]).

The Lord as Supersoul is in everyone's heart, so He's in the heart of the hog or He is in the heart of the worm in the stool. Does it mean Kṛṣṇa is living in the stool? No. Wherever He lives, He lives in Vṛndāvana. That is His inconceivable potency. He can live everywhere, but He does not live there. He lives in Vṛndāvana. ''Goloka eva nivasaty akhilātma-bhūtaḥ'' (Bs. 5.37).

So it doesn't matter whether it is garage or anything. If somebody is voluntarily offering that, immediately accept that. We shall sit down there, and fifty people can sit, it is sufficient. We can decorate it nicely. Immediately. Near this place?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, he says it's nearby here.

Prabhupāda: Very good.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: He's a very nice man. He started to chant when he came to our other temple, and every day he chants while he goes to work . . .

Prabhupāda: Very good.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: . . . when he's walking the street.

Prabhupāda: So he is devotee.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: He said he was smoking two and a half packs of cigarettes. Now he only smokes three or four. Soon he will stop.

Prabhupāda: (laughs) You see? How practical. Yes. This is practical. One of my Godbrother, he narrated his life history that he was distilling wine for drinking. And he said that all kinds of intoxicants he has passed. He is graduate of all kinds of intoxication. (laughs) But when he came to Guru Mahārāja, he left everything. He has not even smoking a ''bīḍī'', cigarette. ''Pāpī tāpī yata chilo, hari-nāme uddhārilo, tāra sākṣī jagāi mādhāi'' (''Hari Hari Bifale'').

The witness is Jagāi and Mādhāi. So you'll accept it.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: He'll have to call me. He said he would call tomorrow.

Prabhupāda: Very good.

Dayānanda: Well, did he donate it?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No. We'll have a phone by tomorrow.

Dayānanda: You said he came to the other temple.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Remember the Indian people came that night? I'll tell you who he is.

Dayānanda: With the twelve-year-old boy?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No. He came with his wife that night.

Prabhupāda: He's Indian?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No. No. There was another Indian people there that night, but he was separately with his wife. We had a ''kīrtana''. That was that very rich man, Indian man who came, and then there was another couple there.

Prabhupāda: So he's also rich man?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I don't think so. But he has a wife, and he says many things have been changing since he chanted. He says he doesn't know whether he should attribute it to the chant, but he's going to keep chanting. And he looks very . . . ah, he looks much happier.

Prabhupāda: That's all right. So, chant.

(''kīrtana'') (''prema-dhvani'') Thank you very much. (devotees offer obeisances) (end)

Prabhupāda:

:''tataś cānu-dinaṁ dharmaḥ''
:''satyaṁ śaucaṁ kṣamā dayā''
:''kālena balinā rājan''
:''naṅkṣyaty āyur balaṁ smṛtiḥ''
:([[SB 12.2.1]])

Today we shall discuss about the prominent symptom of this age. This book, ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'', was written . . . not written; practically it was recorded. All Vedic literature, they are recorded from hearing, or tradition of . . .

(break) . . . five thousand years before, the statements of authorities, people could keep in mind without any book record. At that time the memory was so sharp that one could keep in his memory simply by once hearing from the spiritual master. There was no need of written book to consult.

So five thousand years ago this book was recorded by Vyāsadeva because he could understand that in future people will be born of so lower grade that it would be not possible to keep in memory without book record. So formerly, these books were written in hand on palm leaves, and . . . because there was no press or type. So if you wanted a book, you had to copy from other's book. That was the system.

So the point is that five thousand years ago, the things which were written for this age, how they are coming to be true in our experience. That is the point: how they could see past, present, and future so nicely. The sages were known as ''tri-kāla-jña''. ''Tri'' means three. There is almost similarity, ''tri'' and "three."

''Tri'' is Sanskrit, and three is English, or Latin, but there is similarity. ''Tri-kāla-jña''. ''Tri'' means three, and ''kāla'' means time. Time is experienced by three ways: past, present and future. Time limitation, past, present and . . . whenever you speak of time, it is past, present or future.

So the sages in those days were ''tri-kāla-jña''. ''Tri-kāla-jña'' means they could understand, they could know what was in the past, was . . . what there shall be in the future and what is at present. Just like in the ''Gītā'', Kṛṣṇa says, "My dear Arjuna, you, Me, I, and all these kings and soldiers who have assembled in this battlefield, they were all individuals, and we are still individual. And in this past, in the future, we shall all remain individual." ([[BG 2.12 (1972)|BG 2.12]]) The past, present and future, he explained. Another place Kṛṣṇa says, ''vedāhaṁ samatītāni'' ([[BG 7.26 (1972)|BG 7.26]]). ''Atītāni'', ''atītāni'' means past. ''Vartamānāni ca'', "and present." So, that is yogic power. One can know past, present, and future.

So here Śukadeva Gosvāmī is speaking about this Kali-yuga. The Kali-yuga means the fourth age. There are four different kinds of ages: Satya-yuga, Tretā-yuga, Dvāpara-yuga and Kali-yuga. Just like there are six seasons, or four seasons, in a year, similarly, in one day of Brahmā there are one hundred cycles of four ''yugas''.

Four ''yugas'' means . . . forty-three thousand . . . forty-three hundred thousands of years. It is very long. That is the duration of four ''yugas''. Similarly, one thousand ''yugas'' passes, then one day of Brahmā finished, twelve hours. It is a big calculation. Anyway, there are four ''yuga'': this Satya-yuga, Dvāpara-yuga, Tretā-yuga and Kali-yuga.

So in the previous chapter, some description of these ''yugas'' have been described. Now here, in this chapter . . . this is Second Chapter of Twelfth Canto of ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam''. Śukadeva Gosvāmī is describing:

:''tataś cānu-dinaṁ dharmaḥ''
:''satyaṁ śaucaṁ kṣamā dayā''
:''kālena balinā rājan''
:''naṅkṣyaty āyur balaṁ smṛtiḥ''
:([[SB 12.2.1]])

"My dear King . . ." Śukadeva Gosvāmī was speaking to Mahārāja Parīkṣit, who was emperor of this planet. Mahārāja Parīkṣit. And he was cursed by a ''Brahmin'' that he should die within seven days. So he was utilizing the seven days by hearing ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam''.

So he's explaining, "My dear King, as the days of Kali-yuga will make progress . . ." Make progress means, we have passed only five thousand years of this Kali-yuga. The total duration of Kali-yuga is four hundred thirty two thousands of years. Out of that, we have passed only five thousands of years.

I think in the world history there is no . . . nobody can place records of 5,000. At most, the historians can present history of 3,000 years. That's all. So Kali-yuga has begun pre-historic. And before that, what was there in the history nobody can say. But in the Vedic literatures everything is there. You believe or not believe, that is different.

Now here, Śukadeva Gosvāmī says, ''tataś ca anudinaṁ''. ''Anu-dinam'' means "as the days will pass." Then what will be the symptoms? Now, ''naṅkṣyaty''. ''Naṅkṣyaty'' means gradually diminish, will diminish. What will diminish? Now, ''dharmaḥ'', religiosity; ''satyam'', truthfulness; ''śaucam'', cleanliness; ''kṣamā'', forgiveness; ''dayā'', mercifulness; ''āyuḥ'', duration of life; ''balam'', strength; and ''smṛtiḥ'', memory. These eight items, just try to know.

First thing is religious. As the age of Kali will make progress, people will become more and more irreligious. And they will become more and more liars. They will forget to speak what is true. ''Śaucam'', cleanliness, that will also diminish. Cleanliness is required. ''Bahyābhyantaraḥ-śuciḥ''. If one is to advance, he has to clean himself.

According to Vedic civilization, one has to take bath thrice daily. Actually, in India they take. In your country I was also taking twice bath till I was attacked last year. So I thought that in this country, twice taking bath is not possible, so I am taking once now. But India, there are many gentlemen, high class gentlemen, they take bath thrice. Morning, and before lunch, and in the evening. Especially the ''Brahmins''.

So cleanliness is next to godliness. To take bath, to evacuate daily, to wash the teeth, wash clothings, this cleanliness process. But as the days of this Kali-yuga will make progress, this system of hygienic cleanliness, cleanliness both inside and outside . . . outside by taking bath, inside by becoming Kṛṣṇa conscious—two kinds of cleanliness. Simply if we take bath with soap outside, and inside all rubbish thing, then that is not cleanliness. Cleanliness means ''bahyābhyantaraṁ''. ''Bahya'' means outside, without; ''abhyantaraṁ'' means inside.

Unless we are clean, unless we are pure, how we can make advance to approach the Supreme? The Supreme is described as the purest. In the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' Arjuna says, ''paraṁ brahma paraṁ dhāma pavitraṁ paramaṁ bhavān'' ([[BG 10.12-13 (1972)|BG 10.12]]), "My dear Kṛṣṇa, You are the Supreme Lord, Brahman." And ''pavitraṁ paramam'': "You are supreme, pure." There is no impurity. Impurity means material contamination, and purity means spiritual life. So this cleanliness inside and outside, that will also decrease. Just know.

First decreasing . . . religiosity. People will become irreligious, and they will forget what is telling truth. They'll be accustomed to speak lie. And ''śaucam'', no cleanliness. And ''kṣamā''. ''Kṣamā'' means forgiveness. Suppose I have done some wrong . . . (break) . . . but there is no forgiveness. ''Kṣamā-rūpaṁ tapasvinaḥ'', people is advised . . . although . . . especially those who are following penance and austerity, yogic principle or devotional life, they should learn to excuse. In our dealings, there are so many faulty dealings between ourselves. So if we take everything very seriously, then it is very difficult to live. So ''kṣamā''. But that ''kṣamā''—''kṣamā'' means forgiveness—will reduce. Nobody will forgive. Retaliation, vengeance, that will increase. So four items: religiosity, truthfulness, cleanliness and forgiveness. Four.

Then ''dayā''. ''Dayā'' means mercy. What is ''dayā''? Who is, I mean to say, less strong. Just like animals, birds, beasts . . . you should be very merciful. Just like children: you should be very merciful to children. According to Vedic injunction, children, women, ''Brahmins'', old men and cow. How many? Children, women, ''Brahmin'', cow . . . and what else?

Devotees: Old men.

Prabhupāda: Old men. Yes. These five items, according to ''Manu-saṁhitā'', or Hindu law, they have no offense. They have no offense. They cannot be criminally prosecuted, are excused. If a ''Brahmin'' has committed some fault or a woman has committed some fault or a child has committed some fault or a cow has transgressed the law, oh, there is no punishment for them. ''Dayā''. They should be shown always mercy. They require protection, especially. These five items have been especially enjoined that they should be given protection. That is required in human civilization.

Cow protection is very important. Women's protection is very important. ''Brahmin's'' protection is very important. Children's protection is very important. Of course, nowadays there is protection for children, of course, from the state. But that is also artificial. There is killing process also. So many children in the womb are killed. But, according to Vedic civilization, they are greatest offense. So ''dayā''. ''Dayā'' means you should show your mercifulness those who are weak. So this will reduce, ''dayā''.

And ''āyuḥ'', duration of life. Duration of life. In the Satya-yuga, the duration of life was 100,000's of years. A man used to live for 100,000's of years. Then in the Tretā-yuga it reduced ten times. They used to live for 10,000 years. Then in Dvāpara-yuga, it reduced again ten times; they used to live for 1,000 years. And now, in the Kali-yuga, the duration of life is prescribed as one hundred years. But you see that it is reducing.

Everyone may note it. Perhaps your grandfather lived for hundred years. Your father lived for eighty years. And nowadays, sixty or seventy years. Gradually, it will so reduce, we shall come to that statement that if a man lives from twenty to thirty years he will be considered a very grand old man. If he lives for twenty to thirty years he'll be considered, "Oh, you have got very good life." That will come, gradually.

This is the progressive age. Progressive age for material civilization. We are proud of making advancement of our civilization, but these nice things are being reduced. That means . . . we are advancing means reducing the nice things. This is advanced. ''Āyuḥ'' and ''smṛtiḥ''. ''Smṛtiḥ'' means memory. So these eight items will reduce gradually. You can keep it noted, and you'll see how they are being reduced. And we have already experienced. ''Smṛtiḥ''. Then next description is:

:''vittam eva kalau nṝṇāṁ''
:''janmācāra-guṇodayaḥ''
:''dharma-nyāya-vyavasthāyāṁ''
:''kāraṇaṁ balam eva hi''
:([[SB 12.2.2]])

Another symptom is how a man is respectable. He says, Śukadeva Gosvāmī says, ''vittam eva kalau nṝṇām''. ''Vittam'' means money. If you have got money, some way or other, whatever you may be, you are very respected. ''Janmācāra-guṇodayaḥ''. Formerly, a man was respectable by his birth in a respectable family and by his behavior.

Just like a ''Brahmin''. A ''Brahmin'' was respected because his behavior was so nice. He was truthful, he was clean, he was man of knowledge, he was faithful in scriptures, and so many qualifications. Therefore he was respected. So here it is said that ''janma'', birth in a good family or high family, or good behavior. ''Janmācāra''. ''Janmācāra'', and ''guṇa'', quality. Suppose a man is a great philosopher, or a great learned scholar. That is very good qualification.

So these things will not be considered. And if a man is very learned scholar or coming of a very respectable family and has got all good qualities, that will be neglected. Another man, if he has all the bad qualities but he has got money, he's respected. He'll be respected. This is the symptom of this age.

And ''dharma-nyāya-vyavasthāyāṁ kāraṇaṁ balam eva hi'' ([[SB 12.2.2]]). ''Dharma''. ''Dharma'' means suppose you have acted something irreligious. In every religion, and every scripture, there are many things, you do it and do not do it. So that is called following the religious principle. In every religion, either Hindu or Christian or Mohammedan, there are some rules and regulation. Just like in Mohammedan religion, drinking is greatest sin. And . . . in Hindu religion, flesh eating, especially cow's meat, is greatest sin. So these are religious principles. So ''dharma-nyāya-vyavasthāyām''.

So there are some rules and regulation according to different types of religion. So how they will be settled? ''Kāraṇaṁ balam eva hi'': by might. If one has . . . "Might is right." That "Might is right." There is no reason. "Why you are doing against religious principle?" If I ask, if you are powerful, stronger than me, you'll say, "Yes! I can do that. What is that? What for you? What is that to you?" So balam eva hi. If anyone is powerful in power, oh, he can act against the rules and regulation of religious or scriptural injunctions. Nobody can protest. ''Dharma-nyāya-vyavasthāyāṁ kāraṇaṁ balam eva hi''.

''Dāmpatye abhirucir hetur māyaiva vyāvahārike'' ([[SB 12.2.3]]). ''Dāmpatye''. ''Dāmpatye'' means making husband and wife relationship. ''Abhiruciḥ''. ''Abhiruciḥ'' means liking. A boy likes another girl, and the girl likes another boy. That's finished. Let them become husband and wife. Formerly, it was would not be. Formerly, according to Vedic civilization, there was no liking of the boy or the girl. The parents of the boy and the girl, they would see, "Whether this combination will be happy."

They will bring horoscope and calculate astronomically, "What is the symptoms of this boy? What is the symptoms of this girl? Whether they will be peaceful in married life?" They calculated, and the parents would see in what kind of family the girl is born, and what kind of boy, the family he's born. So many things. If they do not agree, the parents of the girl and the boy . . . that boy . . . then there is no marriage.

Still, in India . . . at least . . . I was also married, and some of my children, they are also married. But this system in India is still followed. The parents, they select the suitable boy and the suitable girl. The primary aim is that they may live very peacefully; there may not be unnecessarily disturbance in their family life. That was the aim.

But in the Kali-yuga it is said ''dāmpatye'', selection of husband and wife, will depend on agreement. That's all. "I like you; you like me." That's all. Finished. ''Dāmpatye abhirucir hetuḥ''. ''Abhiruciḥ''. Because the boy likes the girl. And suppose the parents do not like? That will be . . . (indistinct) . . . "The girl likes, so that's it." That's all.

So ''dāmpatye'' . . . it is not only in your country; in every country. Because the age is like that. ''Dāmpatye abhirucir hetur and māyaiva vyāvahārike'' ([[SB 12.2.3]]). ''Māyā'' means false dealing. ''Vyāvahāre''. Even in ordinary dealing there will be cheating and faulty dealing. Even in ordinary. Even you go to purchase something from a store, oh, there is false dealing. ''Dāmpatye''.

''Strītve puṁstve ca hi ratiḥ''. And ''strītve'', a husband and wife will agree so long they are sexually strong. That's all. ''Strītve puṁstve ca hi ratiḥ''. ''Ratiḥ'' means sex. Formerly, it was not the system. The husband and wife combined together as life companions. Even the husband becomes diseased and penniless, the wife cannot give . . . give him up. "Oh, he is my husband."

Similarly, wife. Either she becomes diseased or so many things, the husband and wife combined together for life. There was no question of divorce. There was no question of divorce, even they do not like each other, even they though fight. Fight there must be, whenever there are two men or woman. That is individuality. Therefore Cāṇakya Paṇḍita says, ''dāmpatye kālahe caiva bambhārambhe laghu-kriya''. Whenever there is fight between husband and wife, it should be neglected.

The formula of Cāṇakya Paṇḍita is given like this: ''ajā-yuddhe''. When the goats are fighting, as it is very insignificant . . . if you understand that in the door two goats are fighting, you don't care for it. You see? A goat fight. So ''aja-yuddhe muni-śrāddhe''. And some sages are performing ''śrāddha'' ceremony . . . ''śrāddha'' ceremony means after the death of one's father and mother there is great ceremony, and the son spends lots of money. The father spends lots of money during the marriage ceremony of the boy and the girl, and the boy spends lots of money after the death of the father and mother. That is the system, Hindu system.

So ''aja-yuddhe muni-śrāddhe''. ''Muni-śrāddhe'' means the ''muni'' is performing the ''śrāddha'' ceremony after the death of his father. ''Muni'' means he lives in the forest. They are mendicants. And what is the expenditure? Some flowers and fruits, that's all. So that is not very expensive. So . . . and in the forest you haven't got to pay anything for flowers and fruits. You can get from the trees. ''Aja-yuddhe muni-śraddhe'', and ''prabhāte megha-ḍambare''.

In the morning if there is thundering sound in the cloud, you should know it will not rain. It will never rain. That thundering may be very loud, but there will be no rain. That means you can neglect. As you can neglect the fight between two goats, as you can take not seriously the ''śrāddha'' ceremony of ''muni'', as you do not take very seriously the thundering sound of the cloud in the morning, similarly, ''dāmpatye kālahe caiva'', similarly, whenever there is fight between husband and wife, you should take like that. Don't take it seriously.

But at the modern civilization, the husband and wife quarrel is taken so seriously that immediately they go to the court and there is filing of divorce, and the combination, the married life, dissolved, and both are unhappy. And this psychology is, as it is stated—I do not know, but probably it is right—that disagreement between husband and wife is due to sex difficulty. That's all. It is clearly stated here. Either the husband or the wife, if there is not complete sex satisfaction, one of them must be very unhappy, and disagreement and dissolution.

''Strītve puṁstve ca hi ratir vipratve sūtram eva hi''. ''Vipratve'' means . . . just this morning I was explaining ''vipra'', who is ''vipra''. ''Vipra'' means one who has studied ''Veda'' nicely, or one who has passed in the studies of ''Vedas'', he is called ''vipra''. And before becoming a ''vipra'', there is sacred thread ceremony. ''Janmanā jāyate śūdraḥ''.

There are stages: ''śūdra'', ''dvija'', ''vipra'' and ''Brahmin''. These four steps. One is born a ''śūdra''. ''Śūdra'' means the lowest class, almost animal. So anyone who is born of father and mother, he is accepted as ''śūdra''. And ''janmanā jāyate śūdraḥ''. By birth, everyone is born a ''śūdra'', the lower class. And ''saṁskārād bhaved dvijaḥ'': and if that man, the boy, or the child, is reformed by education gradually, then he is, ''saṁskārad bhaved dvijaḥ'', his second birth is there.

So amongst the higher class, the ''Brahmin'', the ''kṣatriya'' and the ''vaiśyas'', especially amongst the ''Brahmins'' and ''kṣatriya'', the boys were trained very nicely. Very nicely. So, by reformation, when the boy is, I mean to say, mature, at the age of twelve years or thirteen years, he goes automatically to a spiritual master. He automatically goes to a spiritual master for becoming initiated.

Just like sometimes some students come to me also, "Swāmījī, get me . . ." That is the process. When one understands the importance of spiritual life, that is reformation. So automatically he offers to a learned person to accept him as his disciple.

That point is, acceptance of a disciple, is the second birth. He is called ''dvija''. ''Dvi'' means second, and ''ja'' means ''janma'', or life. So ''saṁskārād bhaved dvijaḥ''. ''Dvija'' means . . . second life means reformation and acceptance of spiritual master. Then education, spiritual education, begins. And what is that spiritual education? The Vedic literature, just like ''Bhagavad-gītā'', ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'', ''Vedānta''. There are many. Especially ''Bhagavad-gītā'' and ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam''.

So one . . . when one has educated himself sufficiently in the Vedic literature, he is called ''vipra''. And at that time, the spiritual master . . . or before that. Before accepting him as a student for spiritual education, the disciple was given a badge, which is called sacred thread. You have seen my sacred thread. So that sacred thread is offered.

One who has got the sacred thread is to be understood that he is twice-born. His second birth is also there. First birth is from the father and mother, and second birth is from the spiritual master and Vedic literature. The spiritual master is the father, and Vedic literature is the mother.

Now here it is said that in the age of Kali, ''vipratve sūtram eva hi''. The ''sūtra'', the thread, is only two-cent worth. So, just to place oneself as born of higher class . . . especially in India that is now being done. One man can purchase a two-cent-worth this thread and put it on the . . . "Oh, I come from a ''brāhmaṇa'' family." Without any education, without any acceptance of spiritual master or without anything, simply by showing the thread, that "I have got this thread," he becomes a ''Brahmin'' or ''vipra'', or twice-born or . . . nonsense. But this will be done in Kali-yuga.

Actually, these things are being done in India especially. Because here, in your country, there is no sacred thread ceremony, but in India there is this division of ''Brahmin'', ''kṣatriya'', ''vaiśya'', and still the sacred thread ceremony is there. So in order to pose oneself as born of high family, one can simply purchase two-cent-worth thread and put on the breast, and he can introduce himself, "Oh, I am ''Brahmin''." And nobody is going to inquire whether he is actually a ''Brahmin''. As soon as one sees that sacred thread: "Oh, he's a ''Brahmin''." That's all. So this is the, another symptom of Kali-yuga, that simply by two-cent-worth sacred thread one becomes a ''Brahmin''.

''Liṅgam evāśrama-khyātāv anyonyāpatti-kāraṇam'' ([[SB 12.2.4]]). ''Liṅgam''. ''Liṅgam'' means symptom. According to Vedic literature, there are different dress. A girl unmarried, her dress is different. A girl married, her dress is different. A girl widow, her dress is different. A girl prostitute, her dress is different. A man ''sannyāsī'', his dress is different. A ''brahmacārī'', his dress is different. So by the dress one can understand that who is who. That is the system.

So that dress is offered by the spiritual master after qualified. Just like if a girl is married, then his (her) dress is offered during the marriage ceremony. One of the symptom of married girl is some red powder between the two divisions of the hair. So one can understand that, "This girl is now married." So similarly, there are different dresses according to qualification, according to the situation.

But in the Kali-yuga, that anyone can take any dress without any regulation, without any formality. Simply by dress. Suppose . . . just like ''sannyāsī''. Because a ''sannyāsī'' has to dress himself in this saffron-color garment, so ''sannyāsī'' has the privilege, if he goes to a householder's house, he is very respectfully received, and if he wants something, the householder gives him. That is the system. Now, if somebody sees that "It is very cheap process of earning money, so let me dress in this saffron color and beg from door to door. What is the use of laboring so hard?" So that will go on. Misuse of dress. Misuse of dress.

''Liṅgam eva āśrama-khyātāu''. ''Āśrama'', a ''gṛhastha''. ''Āśrama'' means . . . there are four ''āśramas'': ''brahmacārī'', ''gṛhastha'', ''vānaprastha'' and ''sannyāsa''. They have got different dress. But they have got different duties also. But in the Kali-yuga, simply by dress, one should be known that either he is a ''sannyāsī'' or a ''brahmacārī'' or ''gṛhastha''.

''Avṛttyā nyāya-daurbalyam'' . . . I shall explain another one line: ''avṛttyā nyāya-daurbalyaṁ pāṇḍitye cāpalaṁ vacaḥ'' ([[SB 12.2.4]]) If you have no money, then you cannot get justice. Formerly, if somebody has done injustice to you, you could go in the open court. Because the king used to sit in assembly, and any of the citizen could go there and put his complaint, "My lord, I have been done so wrong by such and such." He could complain, and immediately the judgment is given. That was the system.

Now in the Kali-yuga, there is court. Suppose you have been insulted, you have been done wrong by somebody, if you want to go to court, oh, immediately you have to find out first about the fees of the lawyer and the stamp fees and so many things. And if you have no money, oh, there is no justice. If you have no money, then there is no justice. Therefore he says, ''avṛttyā nyāya-daurbalyam''. ''Nyāya'' means justice, and ''daurbalyam'' means weakness. ''Avṛttyā'' means without money. Without money you cannot get justice.

And ''pāṇḍitye cāpalaṁ vacaḥ''. ''Pānḍitya'' means a learned scholar. If he can speak something, without any reference of the scripture, if he can simply . . . what is called? Exact English language I don't find. False propaganda. False propaganda. Simply if he can satisfy the mass people by false propaganda, then he will be accepted that "You are very learned." Nobody will inquire whether he is learned according to the standard books, because nobody has got knowledge of the standard book.

I may speak something without any reference to the standard book, but if I can convince you, if I can flatter you, then you will accept me. Just like so many propaganda is going on that "You can become a great ''yogī'', at the same time you can indulge your senses. There is no restriction." People likes . . . they like it.

So people are following that. But actually, if we refer to the standard books of ''yoga'', it is very difficult. But that will not be spoken, because they will not like it. So everyone can manufacture in his own way some cheap thing, and people will like it. So ''pāṇḍitye cāpalaṁ vacaḥ''.

So these are the symptoms. We shall discuss later on. The time is eight-twenty. If you have got any question (break)

Devotee: . . . the ''Vedas'' were from time immemorial?

Prabhupāda: Yes. ''Vedas'' means from the beginning of creation. Brahmā, the first living creature, he was impregnated with Vedic knowledge by Kṛṣṇa. And that is stated in the ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'': ''tene brahma hṛdā ādi-kavaye'' ([[SB 1.1.1]]) . . . ''ādi-kavi'' means the first living creature, Brahmā. In his heart, ''hṛdā'' . . . ''hṛdā'' means heart; ''tene'', impregnated. ''Brahma'', ''brahma'' means Vedic knowledge. So he was the first living creature. So one may inquire that how he was educated in Vedic knowledge, because there was no other living being. So therefore, it is stated, ''tene brahma hṛdā''. ''Hṛdā'' means from within.

There is education from within and from without. From within the Supersoul gives you education. Kṛṣṇa gives you education. Not to everyone. Who is devotee, to him, the Lord speaks from within. And from without, the spiritual master. So both ways we are getting opportunity for learning Vedic knowledge, from without, from within. And if we still we don't take advantage of it, then it is our misfortune.

The spiritual master is considered to be outward expression of the Supersoul. This God is so kind that He is within, giving you education, provided you are prepared to hear Him. And from without, He sends His representative. So both ways we are benefited. We have to take advantage of this opportunity. From without, we have got these books, the spiritual master, the saintly persons, so many. Friends, books. And from within, Kṛṣṇa, the Supersoul.

:''teṣāṁ satata-yuktānāṁ''
:''bhajatāṁ prīti-pūrvakam''
:''dadāmi buddhi-yogaṁ taṁ''
:''yena mām upayānti te''
:([[BG 10.10 (1972)|BG 10.10]])

In the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' you find, ''teṣāṁ satata-yuktānām'': those who are constantly engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. ''Satata'' means constantly. ''Teṣāṁ satata-yuktānām'', engaged. How? How engaged? ''Bhajatāṁ prīti-pūrvakam'': rendering service with faith and love. Only those persons. Those persons who are in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and rendering service with faith and love, to them only.

''Teṣāṁ satata-yuktānāṁ bhajatāṁ prīti-pūrvakam dadāmi buddhi-yogaṁ taṁ'' ([[BG 10.10 (1972)|BG 10.10]]): "I give them ''buddhi-yogaṁ'' the intelligence." What sort of intelligence? ''Dadāmi buddhi-yogaṁ yena mām upayānti te'': "Such intelligence by which, by help of which, he can gradually come to My kingdom." That is there. So from within, there is education, and from without, there is education. So we have to take advantage.

So ''Veda'', your question, ''Veda'' knowledge means from the beginning of the creation. Unless this knowledge is there, how this creation can be conducted? So Brahmā was made in charge of this universe, and he was educated in ''Vedas''. Therefore you'll find the Brahmā's picture, he has got ''Vedas'' in his hand. Have you seen? Brahmā's picture, he has got ''Vedas''. And in the ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'' it is said, ''tene brahma hṛdā ādi-kavaye'' . . . ''ādi-kavaye'' means he is the original learned man. And the disciplic succession comes from Brahmā.

Brahmā was educated by Kṛṣṇa, and from Brahmā, his disciple Nārada, and Nārada's disciple Vyāsa, Vyāsa's disciple Madhvācārya. In the Madhvācārya, Lord Caitanya in the line. From Lord Caitanya, others. In this way the disciplic succession is coming directly from Kṛṣṇa. And it is called Brahma-sampradāya. Brahma-sampradāya.

So that knowledge . . . ''evaṁ paramparā-prāptam'' ([[BG 4.2 (1972)|BG 4.2]]). As it is stated in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'', this knowledge is received by this disciplic succession. That is perfect knowledge. No adulteration. Just like if you see water directly from the sky, it is pure water. And as soon as you take water either from sea or river, it is adulterated. Similarly, we have to receive knowledge direct from Kṛṣṇa. So it is a great opportunity that ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is directly imparted by Kṛṣṇa. And if we take, accept ''Bhagavad-gītā'' as it is, we are full of knowledge.

There is no question of research or bothering your brain. You take directly, immediately. We receive knowledge in that way, oh . . . just mother gives the child education, "My dear child, here is your father. Here is your brother. Here is your sister," the child accepts it. He doesn't require to make research, "Who is my father?" The mother says, authority, "Here is your father," and accept. Finish.

Otherwise . . . make research, "Who is my father? Are you my father? Are you my father? Are you my father? Where is father?" The authority is mother: "Here is your father." Accept it. There is no research. There is no trouble. And if you, "No, I want to find out my father by research," go on with your nonsense research. What research you can do? What knowledge you have got?

Therefore this knowledge is perfect. ''Evaṁ paramparā-prāptam'' ([[BG 4.2 (1972)|BG 4.2]]), by disciplic succession from authority. That knowledge is perfect. Our knowledge, most imperfect. Just like we are studying the moon. So, so many scientists are engaged to study the moon. Every day we read something about moon. And in ''Bhāgavata'' you see that the moon is very cold planet, and there people drink ''soma-rasa''. And the other day I was reading in the paper, the temperature is 200 degrees less than zero. Just you can imagine how cold it is.

So how we can go there? You cannot go to Canada, because when it is below zero degrees, you are so unhappy. And it is, if we accept the statement of the scientist, it is 200 degrees below zero. So how you can go there? At once you'll die, immediately. Similarly, the temperature of sun, oh, so many degree higher centigrade. So you have to remain.

Therefore we are called conditioned. You cannot go outside. You are conditioned. You may try, but you cannot go outside in that way. If you want to go other planets, then you have to prepare yourself. That is explained in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'':

:''yānti deva-vratā devān''
:''pitṝn yānti pitṛ-vratāḥ''
:''bhūtejyā yānti bhūtāni''
:''mad-yājino 'pi yānti mām''
:([[BG 9.25 (1972)|BG 9.25]])

That those who are desirous of going to the heavenly planets—moon is also considered one of the heavenly planets—they can worship the particular demigod there. If you want to go to the sun planet, you worship the sun god, moon god, and at the expiry of this body, then directly go there. ''Yānti deva-vratā devān pitṝn'' . . .

If you want to go to the Pitṛloka, you can go there. If you want to remain here, you can remain here. And even if you want to go to the planet where Kṛṣṇa lives, you can go there. ''Yānti mad-yājino 'pi mām'': "And those who are My devotees, they come to Me, My planet." That is . . . we have described in our book ''Easy Journey to Other Planets''.

So you cannot go immediately. You have to make arrangement for. That is not possible that you have discovered something, Sputnik and by Sputnik you immediately go to the Candraloka. That is imagination, not possible. (break) (end)

Prabhupāda:

:''śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ''
:''puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ''
:''hṛdy antaḥ stho hy abhadrāṇi''
:''vidhunoti suhṛt-satām''
:([[SB 1.2.17]])

Kṛṣṇa, this sound, transcendental sound. Kṛṣṇa means the highest pleasure. Highest pleasure. Everyone, every living being, is seeking after pleasure, but he does not know how to seek pleasure. Therefore in this material conception of life we are being frustrated in every step for satisfying our pleasure, because we have no information that from which platform we can have pleasure.

That we are discussing for the last few weeks, that we are not this body; we are consciousness. Not exactly consciousness. Consciousness is the symptom of my real identity. I am pure soul. I am merged within this material body. And the modern material science, they have no trace(?) of it. Therefore they are sometimes misled about this understanding of the spirit soul. But the spirit soul is a fact. And everyone can understand by the presence of consciousness. Any child can understand. The consciousness is the symptom of the spirit soul.

So the whole process now we are trying from the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is to bring one to get him on the platform of consciousness. And if we act from the platform of consciousness, then we may not be pushed again into the platform of this bodily conception.

And if we can continue that platform, if we continue to act on that platform of consciousness, then, at the end of this body—not even at the end of this body; even in the presence of this body—we shall be free. We shall be free from material contamination. Our spiritual life will be revived, and the result will be that in our next life, next life, after leaving this body, we shall have our full spiritual life, eternally.

Spirit is described . . . we have already discussed on this point that the spirit is eternal. ''Na hanyate hanyamāne śarīre'' ([[BG 2.20 (1972)|BG 2.20]]): "Even after the destruction of this body, the consciousness is not destroyed." That continues. Rather, consciousness transferred to another type of body makes me again alive to the material conception of life. And that is also described in the ''Bhagavad-gītā: yaṁ yaṁ vāpi smaran bhāvaṁ tyajaty ante kalevaram'' ([[BG 8.6 (1972)|BG 8.6]]).

At the time of death, if our consciousness is pure, then it is sure that next life is not material. Next life is pure spiritual life. But if our consciousness is not pure at the point of the verge of death, just leaving this body, then we have to take again this material body. That is the process going on by nature's law.

We have got our finer body. This is gross body. The body which you are seeing, which I am seeing, this is gross body. Just like shirt and coat. Within your coat, there is shirt, and within your shirt, there is a body. Similarly, the pure soul is covered by shirt and coat. The shirt is mind, intelligence and false ego. Mind, intelligence and false ego. False ego means that the wrong conception that "I am matter. I am something, product of this material world." This wrong conception makes me localized.

Just like because I have taken my birth in America, therefore I think myself American. Because I have taken my birth in India, therefore I think myself as Indian. But as pure soul, I am neither Indian nor American. I am pure soul. Because this is designation. This "American," or "Indian," or "German," or "Englishman" or cats and dogs and this and that, black and white, all these are designation. Spiritual consciousness means to become free from all these designations.

So that freedom is achieved when we are in constantly touch with the supreme spirit, Kṛṣṇa. That supreme spirit is Kṛṣṇa. So this assembly which we are trying to conduct is just to keep in touch constantly with Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa . . . Kṛṣṇa can be in constantly companion with us. Because He's omnipotent, God is omnipotent, therefore He can be exactly in touch with us by His words. His words and He are not different. That is omnipotency. Omnipotency means in everything relating to Kṛṣṇa has the same potency.

Just like here in this material world the . . . if you want water—you are thirsty, if you want water—then this water, simply calling, simply saying repeatedly, "water, water, water, water, water" will not satisfy your thirst. Because this word has not the same potency as water itself. You require the water as it is. Then your thirst will be satisfied. But in the transcendental, in the absolute world, there is no such difference. Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa's name and Kṛṣṇa's words and Kṛṣṇa's qualities, Kṛṣṇa's pastimes—everything is Kṛṣṇa.

Somebody . . . some people argues that "Arjuna was talking with Kṛṣṇa. So Kṛṣṇa was present before him, whereas my case, Kṛṣṇa is not present. So how I can get direction?" That is not the fact. Kṛṣṇa is present by His words, this ''Bhagavad-gītā''. Kṛṣṇa . . . therefore the system is . . . of course, here we don't find such facility, but India, when we speak on the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' or on the ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'', we worship regularly with flower, with other paraphernalias required for worshiping. You see?

And in the Sikh religion they also, they have no deity, form of the deity, but they worship the book, Grantha-Sahib. Perhaps some of you who are acquainted with the Sikh communities, they . . . they worship this Grantha. Similarly, the Muhammadans also, they worship the Koran. And similarly, in your Christian also, you worship Bible.

So it is a fact that Lord Jesus Christ is present by his words, Bible. Similarly, Kṛṣṇa is present by His words. These personalities, either God or son of God, who come from the transcendental world, they keep their transcendental identity without being contaminated by this material world. That is their omnipotency.

We are practiced to say that God is omnipotent. Now, this is His omnipotency. Omnipotency means that He is not different from His name, from His quality, from His pastimes, from His instruction—everything. Therefore the discussion on ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is as good as you are discussing certainly with Kṛṣṇa.

And not only that, Kṛṣṇa is seated in your heart, in my heart also. ''Īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānām'' ([[BG 18.61 (1972)|BG 18.61]]). God is situated in everyone's heart. God is not away from us. He's friendly. He's so friendly that in my repeated change of birth, He's with us. He's trying to see when we shall turn to Him. Rather, He's canvassing. He's canvassing. He's so kind that we may forget Him, but He has not forgotten us. He is with us. Just like the father never can forget the son, however the son may forget the father. That is . . . that is natural.

Similarly, God is the original father of everything, everybody, all living entities. We may have different bodies. That is our shirt-coat. It has nothing to do with our real identity. Our real identity is pure soul. That pure soul is the part and parcel of the Supreme Lord. ''Mamaivāṁśo jīva-bhūtaḥ'' ([[BG 15.7 (1972)|BG 15.7]]), you'll find in ''Bhagavad-gītā''. And that part and parcel of the Supreme Lord is encaged in this material body. And you'll find in ''Bhagavad-gītā'' that the Lord is saying:

:''sarva-bhūteṣu kaunteya''
:''mūrtayaḥ sambhavanti yāḥ''
:''tāsāṁ mahad yonir brahma ''
:''ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā''
:([[BG 14.4 (1972)|BG 14.4]])

"My dear Arjuna, whatever forms of life you are seeing . . ." There are eighty-four ''lakhs''' species of life. That means eight million and four hundred thousands of different varieties of life. Not one, two, three or one thousand, three thousand. No. We have not seen.

Even the biologist or the anthropologist, oh, they cannot calculate. But from authoritative, revealed scripture we get this information that there are eight . . . eight . . . 8,400,000's of species of life, of which human being, they are divided into 400,000's species of life. And eighty . . . eighty million, eight million, there are other species of life.

But Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Lord, claims that all of them, never mind, either he is bird or beast or man or a snake or whatever he may . . . god, or semi-god, demigod, anything, whatever, "There are different forms, but apart from the forms, real identity is that all of them, they are My sons. I am actually ''bīja-pradaḥ pitā'', seed-giving father."

Just like the father gives the seed and the mother receives the seed, and the body is formed according to the mother's body. And when the body is completely formed, it comes out, either from cats, either from dog, either from man or anything. That is the process of generation.

The father gives the seed, and it takes . . . emulsified with two kinds of secretion within the womb of the mother, and in the first night the body is formed like a pea. Then gradually it develops. There are certain holes, the nine holes. They first of all come out, nine holes. We have got nine holes: two eyes, one mouth, two ears, and penis, and so many things.

So when they are fully developed, they come out. And according to their last ''karma'', or action, they get this body and enjoy or suffer. That is the process of birth and death which is going on. And after finishing this life, again dies, again enters into the moth . . . womb of the mother, again gets another type of body, again comes out. This is going on. This is going on.

So we should be very much intelligent that "How long we shall continue this repetition of birth and death and change of body?" Any intelligent man . . . that is the prerogative of the human form of life. That is the prerogative. He can stop this process, repetition of birth and death. He can get his real, actual spiritual form again and be blissful, full knowledge and eternal life. That is the whole process. So we should not miss this.

And the whole thing begins just what we have begun now, now, this chanting and hearing. I wanted to point out that this chanting and hearing is as good as actual association of Kṛṣṇa. That is stated in the ''Bhāgavata'', that ''śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ'' ([[SB 1.2.17]]). This, this process is called ''kīrtana''. Even one does not understand the language, still, by hearing only, he acquires some piety. His, his assets become pious life, even he does not understand. It is such powerful.

''Śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ . . . Kṛṣṇa-kathā'' means topics in . . . in the matter of Kṛṣṇa. The topics in the matter of Kṛṣṇa, there are two, two kinds of topics. One topic is this, ''Bhagavad-gītā''. It is spoken by Kṛṣṇa. It is spoken by Kṛṣṇa. And another ''kṛṣṇa-kathā'', I mean to . . . topics about Kṛṣṇa, is this ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam''. That is spoken about Kṛṣṇa. So there are two types of ''kṛṣṇa-kathā'', and both of them are equally potent, because it is connected with Kṛṣṇa.

Now, in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' . . . we find that the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is spoken in the Battlefield of Kurukṣetra. Now, what we have to do with the battlefield? We have nothing to do with battlefield. We are here to have some knowledge in the spiritual atmosphere, and why should we bother about the battlefield? No. Because in the battlefield there . . .

(break) The whole battlefield has become Kṛṣṇa-ized. As Kṛṣṇa-ized. Just like if there electric charges, electric current, is in some metal, the whole thing becomes surcharged with electricity, similarly, when Kṛṣṇa is interested in some matter, then the whole thing becomes Kṛṣṇa-ized. Otherwise, there was no need of discussing the Battlefield of Kurukṣetra. So that is the omnipotency.

Now this omnipotency is described in ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'':

:''śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ''
:''puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ''
:''hṛdy antaḥ stho abhadrāṇi''
:''vidhunoti suhṛt-satām''
:([[SB 1.2.17]])

Now, simply by hearing the ''Kṛṣṇa-kathā'' . . . that means, ''Kṛṣṇa-kathā'' means . . . this . . . ''Kṛṣṇa-kathā'', there are many. All the Vedic literatures, they are full of ''Kṛṣṇa-kathā''. And all the ''Vedas'' means that is also ''Kṛṣṇa-kathā''. Any scripture in Veda that may appear apparently different, but they are meant for Kṛṣṇa-''kathā. Kṛṣṇa-kathā''.

Because you'll find in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' that ''vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ'' ([[BG 15.15 (1972)|BG 15.15]]). The whole topics, they are meant for ''Kṛṣṇa-kathā''.

(aside) You'll excuse me. I am called by nature. I shall . . .

(break) So ''Kṛṣṇa-kathā . . . śṛṇvatāṁ Kṛṣṇa-kathā''. If you kindly simply hear about this ''kṛṣṇa-kathā'', topics on Kṛṣṇa, then what will be the result? Because it is pure, transcendental vibration, the result will be, ''śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ, hṛdy antaḥ stho abhadrāṇi'' ([[SB 1.2.17]]). We have accumulated many inauspicious things within our heart due to our material contamination for many, many births. Many, many births. Not only this birth, but many, many last birth.

So when we surcharge our heart with the ''kṛṣṇa-kathā'', then the result will be . . . ''śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ, hṛdy antaḥ sthaḥ. Hṛdy antaḥ sthaḥ. Hṛdy antaḥ sthaḥ'' means the contaminations which we have accumulated within our heart, that will be washed off. That will be washed off so that your heart will be cleansed of all rubbish things. And, as soon as all rubbish things are cleared off, then we are situated in pure consciousness.

Because it is very difficult to understand, to eradicate oneself from all the designation. Suppose I am Indian. Is it very easy . . .? It is not very easy to take it for granted immediately that I am not Indian, I am pure soul. Similarly, anyone, to not identify with this bodily designation, it is not very easy task.

But still, if we go on hearing the ''kṛṣṇa-kathā'', as we have begun here, it will be very easy. It will be very easy. You . . . you make an experiment. You make an experiment how easily you shall be able to get yourself free from all these designations. And as soon as we are free from the designation . . .

Now what are the freedom? What are the signs of freedom? The signs of freedom . . .

:''śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ''
:''puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ''
:''hṛdy antaḥ stho abhadrāṇi''
:''vidhunoti suhṛt-satām''
:([[SB 1.2.17]])

''Naṣṭa-prāyeṣv abhadreṣu. Naṣṭa-prāyeṣv abhadreṣu nityaṁ bhāgavata-sevayā'' ([[SB 1.2.18]]), ''bhaktir bhagavati . . . bhaktir bhagavati naiṣṭhikī, bhavati naiṣṭhikī''. Now, as soon as . . . not cent percent clearance. It is not possible to clear our, I mean to say, rubbish things within our mind all of a sudden or very soon all things. Even some percentage of the rubbish are cleared off, then at once it happens that our the influence of the material nature becomes slackened.

:''tadā rajas-tamo-bhāvāḥ''
:''kāma-lobhādayaś ca ye''
:''ceta etair anāviddhaṁ''
:''sthitaṁ sattve prasīdati''
:([[SB 1.2.19]])

The material nature is working in three modes: goodness, passion and ignorance. Now, ignorance is hopeless life. Passion is too much materialistic. Passion means, one who is influenced by the modes of passion, he wants . . . he wants this false enjoyment. Although . . . because he does not know, he wants to squeeze out the energy of the body to enjoy this matter. That is called modes of passion. And modes of ignorance, they have neither passion nor goodness in the modes, darkness of life.

And mode of . . . modes of goodness is that in that position we can understand, at least theoretically, "What I am. What is this world. What is God. What is our interrelation." This is the, I mean, stage of the modes of goodness. So by hearing ''kṛṣṇa-kathā'', you will be freed from the two stages of ignorance and passion. You'll be situated in the modes of goodness. At least, you'll have the real knowledge, "What I am."

Because in the ignorance . . . just like animals . . . animals, you see, the animal's life is full of suffering. But still, the animal does not know that he's in suffering. Take the case of a hog. Of course, here in your New York City, no hog is seen, but in village, in India—not only villages—sometimes in towns—we see the hog.

Oh, how much miserable life they are, living in a filthy place, eating stools, and always unclean, and anyone sees hog and "Unhh! Nasty." But he, the hog, does not know that he's nasty condition. He's very jolly. (laughs) He's very jolly. The person who's in the upper status of life, he can see that, "Oh, this is very nasty life!" The hog is very happy by eating stools and having sex intercourse with the she-hog constantly.

Oh, it is getting fat, getting . . . the hog gets very . . . too soon, they become very fatty. Because that spirit of enjoyment is there although the nasty enjoyment . . . (break)

Then he'll understand what is happiness. So you'll be promoted to that stage of life, goodness.

:''śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ''
:''puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ''
:''hṛdy antaḥ stho hy abhadrāṇi''
:''vidhunoti suhṛt-satām''
:([[SB 1.2.17]])

''Naṣṭa-prāyeṣv abhadreṣu nityaṁ bhāgavata-sevayā'' ([[SB 1.2.18]]). ''Nityam'', daily, as a routine, routine work, if you hear this ''kṛṣṇa-kathā'', then the result will be that ''naṣṭa-prāyeṣu abhadreṣu'', when all this accumulation of dirty things in our heart accumulated for life after life, they'll be cleared off. And as a matter of evidence you'll see that you are not . . . no more in ignorance and in passion, but you are situated in the modes of goodness.

Then what is . . . what is that position? ''Ceta etair anāviddham''. Then your mind will not be attacked by the modes of ignorance and passion. You'll be steadily fixed up in the position of goodness. Then, when you are in goodness, then what is your attitude? ''Prasanna-manaso'': you will find yourself joyful in every circumstances of life. You'll never feel yourself morose.

In the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' you'll find . . . that is our ''brahma-bhūta'' situation. The ''Vedas'' teaches us that "You are not this matter. You are Brahman." ''Ahaṁ brahmāsmi''. Lord Śaṅkarācārya, he preached this gospel to the world that we are not this matter—we are Brahman, spirit soul. So that, when that spiritual realization will be actually done, then your symptoms will change. What are those symptoms? Now, ''brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā na śocati na kāṅkṣati'' ([[BG 18.54 (1972)|BG 18.54]]): "When one is situated in his own spiritual consciousness, then he will have no hankering and no lamentation, lamentation for loss or hankering for gain."

Two things are going on in this material world. The things which we do not possess—we hanker after it, "If I get these things, I'll be happy. If I get these things . . . oh, I have no money. If I get one hundred thousand millions dollars, then I'll be happy." This is hankering. And when one hundred thousand million dollars you have got, some way or other it is lost, oh, you cry, "Oh, I am gone."

So either for earning or we hanker, that is also a kind of distress, and when we suffer loss there is distress. But if you are situated in ''brahma-bhūtaḥ avasthāna'', you'll be neither, neither distressed nor hankering. You'll be in equilibrium. ''Yasmin sthite guruṇāpi duhkhena na vicālyate'' ([[BG 6.20-23 (1972)|BG 6.22]]). Even if you are situated in the midst of fiery tribulation, you'll not be disturbed. That is the position.

:''evaṁ prasanna-manaso''
:''bhagavad-bhakti-yogataḥ''
:''bhagavat-tattva-vijñānaṁ''
:''mukta-saṅgasya jāyate''
:([[SB 1.2.20]])

So ''bhagavat-tattva-vijñāna . . . bhagavat-tattva-vijñāna'' means the science of God. The science of God becomes perceivable by such person who is situated in the ''brahma-bhūta'', I mean to, status. So from that, ''brahma-bhūta'' status we have to work, and that work is recommended here:

:''buddhi-yukto jahātīha''
:''ubhe sukṛta-duṣkṛte''
:''tasmād yogāya yujyasva''
:''yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam''
:([[BG 2.50 (1972)|BG 2.50]])

Now, so . . . so long we have got this material body, we have to work. We cannot stop working. That is not possible. But we have to adopt the tactics of ''yoga'' so that even by doing ordinary work in which by destiny or by circumstances I am put into, there is no harm.

You'll find in ''Bhagavad-gītā'' that even if you find in your own occupation there is . . . suppose I am occupied in some business in which I have to speak lie. Without speaking lie, my business cannot go on. Now, suppose if that is the position. Now, speaking lie is not very good thing, but if you think that your business is not very, based on very moral principle, "So I should give up," then ''Bhagavad-gītā'' you'll find that "Don't give up."

Even if you are put into such circumstances that your livelihood cannot go on without that unfair means, still, you should not give it up, but you should try to make it purified. You should try to make it purified. How it is purified? Now, you should not take the fruitive result of your work. That is meant for God.

So here it is stated that . . . that, ''buddhi-yukto jahātīha ubhe sukṛta-duṣkṛte. Sukṛta'' means pious activities, and ''duṣkṛta'' means impious activities. In the material platform we are two things, pious or impious. Pious or impious. Either we are doing some pious activities or we are doing some impious activities or we are doing mixed, pious or impious.

So Lord Kṛṣṇa advises that if you act with intelligence or devotion of the Supreme . . . intelligence means . . . what is that intelligence? That, "I am the part and parcel of the supreme consciousness, pure soul. I am not this body." This is called intelligence.

If you identify yourself, "I am American," "I am Indian," "I am this or that," then you are material plane. If you identify yourself that "I am neither American nor Indian, but I am pure consciousness, I am subordinate consciousness of the supreme consciousness," or, in other words, "I am servant of God. God is supreme consciousness, and I am subordinate," that . . .

So for our present understanding, subordinate means a servant. But don't carry out the idea of servant in relation to God. Here nobody wants to be servant. Everyone wants to be master. Because to become servant is very, not very, palatable thing. So . . . but to become a servant of God is not exactly like this. Sometimes servant of God becomes the master of God.

The real position of the living entity is a servant of God, but in ''Bhagavad-gītā'' you see that the master, Kṛṣṇa, has become the servant of Arjuna. Arjuna is sitting on the chariot, and Kṛṣṇa's accepted his drivership. Is not the servant of the owner of the chariot? So in spiritual relation we should not carry out the conception of this material relationship, although the relationship are there.

The whole relationship, as we have got experience in this world, the same relationship are there in the spiritual world. But that relationship is not contaminated with matter. Therefore they are pure and transcendental. Therefore they are of a different nature. As we become advanced in spiritual conception of life, then we can understand what is the actual position in spiritual, transcendental life.

So here the Lord instructs that ''buddhi-yukta. Buddhi-yukta'' means with the full consciousness that you are not this body. If we act in that way . . . now, if I am . . . I am not body, then I am consciousness. That is a fact. Now, if we act on the consciousness platform, then we can overcome the fruitive result of good work or bad work.

It is transcendental stage. It is transcendental stage. It is especially mentioned, ''buddhi-yukto jahātīha sukṛta-duṣkṛta'' ([[BG 2.50 (1972)|BG 2.50]]). That means you are acting on other's account, on the supreme account. You are not liable for loss or gain. When there is gain, don't be puffed up. You should think that this gain is for Lord. And when there is loss, you, you should know that "This is not my responsibility. It is God's work. He will see." Then you'll be happy.

That practice you have to do, everything on account of the Supreme. That transcendental nature we have to develop. ''Tasmād yogāya yujyasva yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam'' ([[BG 2.50 (1972)|BG 2.50]]). This is the trick of doing work in this present circumstances. As soon as we work on the platform of bodily consciousness, we become bound up by the reaction of my work. And as soon as I work on spiritual consciousness, I am not bound up either by ''sukṛti'' or ''duṣkṛti'', either by pious activities or by, I mean to say, vicious activities. That is the technique.

:''karma-jaṁ buddhi-yuktā hi ''
:''phalaṁ tyaktvā manīṣiṇaḥ ''
:([[BG 2.51 (1972)|BG 2.51]])

''Manīṣiṇaḥ''. This word is very significant. ''Manīṣiṇaḥ'' means thoughtful, thoughtful. ''Manīṣā. Manīṣā'' means thought. ''Manīṣiṇaḥ'', those who are got . . . those who are thoughtful, not trifling. Those who are thoughtful. Unless one is thoughtful, one cannot understand that he is not this body. Then how, how you can do work for yourself? What is your position? Now, I am consciousness. But what kind of consciousness? Subordinate consciousness. I am the part of the supreme consciousness. Then what will be your activities? My activities will be under the guidance of the supreme consciousness.

Just like in office, the managing director is the supreme consciousness. Just for example. Now, everyone is working under him, under his direction. So anyone who is working under his direction, they have no responsibility. They have got simply to discharge the duty, either pious or impious, never mind. In the military rank the order of the captain or the commander is there. The soldier has to execute it.

Never mind whether it is pious or impious, it doesn't matter. He has to act simply. Then he becomes a, I mean to say, real soldier. If he acts in that way, he gets remuneration, he gets reward, he gets title, he gets honor. He doesn't care. The commander asks him, "Just go and kill the enemy." He goes and kills. He gets reward. But killing, do you mean to say by killing one gets reward? No. For the duty discharged. For the duty discharged.

Similarly, here the whole position is that Kṛṣṇa is instructing Arjuna. Kṛṣṇa is the supreme consciousness, and Kṛṣṇa (Arjuna) has to discharge only according to the order of the supreme consciousness. So my . . . ''Manīṣiṇaḥ. Manīṣiṇaḥ ''means those who are thoughtful philosopher, those who can take up things by philosophical conclusion that, "I am consciousness. I am the part and parcel of the supreme consciousness. Therefore my duty is to act according to the supreme consciousness."

Just like your hand is the part of your body. Now, it is moving according to my consciousness. The hand is not moving in its own way. As I want, that let the hands be moved, let my legs be moved, let my eye be opened and see, so I am dictating and these parts are working. Similarly, we are all parts and parcel of the supreme consciousness. When we train ourself to move and act in according to that supreme consciousness, then we become transcendental to all these pious or impious activities. That is the technique.

So, ''karma-jaṁ buddhi-yuktā hi phalaṁ tyaktvā manīṣiṇaḥ. Manīṣiṇaḥ'' means thoughtful, those who are thoughtful, those who have understood that, "I am the part and parcel of the supreme consciousness, and let me act in that way" . . . then what will be the result? Just see the fine result: ''janma-bandha-vinirmuktāḥ padaṁ gacchanty anāmayam'' ([[BG 2.51 (1972)|BG 2.51]]). "Then he becomes free from the bondage of birth and death, no more birth and death."

''Janma-bandhana''. This is a . . . this is a very strong shackle. You see? ''Janma. Janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi'' ([[BG 13.8-12 (1972)|BG 13.9]]). The modern scientists, modern philosophers, they do not think about these four things, ''janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi'', birth, death, disease and old age. They set it . . . set them aside: "Oh, let them be happy. Let us enjoy this life, hogs and dogs." This is not human life. Human life is meant to make a solution of this bondage: life . . . I mean, birth, death, disease and old age. If the human civilization has not made a solution of these four things, oh, that is not human civilization. Human civilization is meant for making a complete solution of these things.

So here, in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'', just see how the Lord says that ''karma-jaṁ buddhi-yuktā hi''. ''Karma-jam. Karma-jam'' means whenever you act, there will be some reaction. If you act good things, there will be a good reaction. If you act bad things, there will be bad reaction.

But reaction, either good or bad, that is, in higher sense, all suffering. I have already explained to you another, some other day, that suppose by good action I get good birth, good riches and good features of the body, good education—all these thing I get—but that does not mean that I am free from the material pangs.

The material pangs are ''janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi'' ([[BG 13.8-12 (1972)|BG 13.9]]): birth, death, old age and diseases. Because you are rich man, because you are beautiful man, because you are educated man, because you are born in a aristocratic family, that does not mean that you have avoided death, old age and disease.

So we shall not be concerned with pious activities or impious activities. We shall be concerned with transcendental activities. That will save me from this bondage of birth, death, old age and disease. That should be our aim of life. We should not be hankering after good or bad things. Because everything here, in higher consciousness, everything material . . .

Now, take for example, suppose you are diseased, suffering from some disease. You are lying on the bed, and you are eating in that stage, you are passing your nature's call in that way, and taking bitter medicines, and always you have to keep by the nurses clean; otherwise, there is some obnoxious smell. In such a condition you are lying, and some friends come to you and ask you, "My dear such-and-such, how are you today feeling?"

"Yes, I am today feeling well." What is this "well"? He's lying on the bed. He's passing his nature's calls in that way. He's eating bitter medicine, and he, he cannot move. All these inconveniences, and he says that, "I am well."

Similarly, in our material conception of life, if we think, "I am happy," that is foolishness. That is foolishness. There is no happiness in material life. It is impossible to get happiness. Then we do not know meaning of happiness. Therefore this very word is used, ''manīṣiṇaḥ''. We want to happy . . . to become by some extraneous, artificial means.

And how long it will stand? It will not stand. You'll again come back. Suppose by intoxication you feel happy. Oh, that is not your actual happiness. Suppose by chloroform I am unconscious; I don't feel the pains of operation. Oh, that does not mean that I am out of this pains and pleasures. This is artificial.

So real . . . real pleasure, real life is here, as recommended in ''Bhagavad-gītā'' by Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Just see. ''Karma-jaṁ buddhi-yuktā hi phalaṁ tyaktvā manīṣiṇaḥ'' ([[BG 2.51 (1972)|BG 2.51]]). ''Manīṣiṇaḥ'' means the thoughtful. "They give up the reaction of, of work, being situated in the platform of consciousness. And the result will be that ''janma-bandha-vinirmuktāḥ'', this bondage of birth and death and disease and old age, he becomes free from that."

Then the next life? ''Padaṁ gacchanty anāmayam. Anāmayam. Anāmayam'' means where there is no death, no, I mean to say, old age, no birth, no disease. That is possible. That is called Vaikuṇṭha. Vaikuṇṭha. The Sanskrit word is Vaikuṇṭha. Vaikuṇṭha means ''vigata-kuṇṭha''. ''Kuṇṭha'' means anxiety. Anxiety.

Here, due to our material contamination, we are always full of ''kuṇṭha'', anxiety. Even a bird, when he's eating, he's seeing like this: this way, this way, this way, "Somebody's coming, or kill me. Oh." Full of anxiety. We are also anxiety, anxious. The politician is anxious. So long we are in contamination of this material body, we must be anxious. We must be anxious.

There is a nice instruction by Prahlāda Mahārāja, a great devotee, boy devotee. And he was, from his boyhood, childhood, from his mother's womb, he became a devotee by the grace of Nārada Muni. That is the history.

Now, he, he was five-years-old boy, and his father was too much materialistic. And he wanted that his son should be great politician, economist, and so on, so on, just like the materialists want. But the boy, he's a devotee. So father did not like the idea.

So one day he called his boy, "My dear boy, come on." He came. A small boy. "Sit down on my lap. All right, my dear boy, will you kindly tell me what you have learned, the best thing, in your school?" "Yes, my dear father, I shall tell you." So he said like this:

:''tat sādhu manye 'sura-varya dehināṁ''
:''sadā samudvigna-dhiyām asad-grahāt ''
:''hitvātma-pātaṁ gṛham anda-kūpaṁ ''
:''vanaṁ gato yad-dharim āśrayeta''
:([[SB 7.5.5]])

"My dear father . . ." He's addressing his father, "O the best amongst the materialists." Now, he's not afraid. His father was very powerful, and there is a story. We shall narrate one day. Now, today is . . . very shortly I am giving some instance. So he says, "My dear father, you are the greatest of the materialist, but to my opinion that is the best thing if people should give up this materialistic life and devote himself for searching out God. Then he'll be free from the anxieties which is due to him due to his material connection."

Just . . . how, see the nice that, ''hitvā, tat sādhu manye 'sura-varya dehināṁ sadā samudvigna-dhiyām''. Persons who are always full of anxieties. Why? Now, due to their material connection. ''Asat''. ''Asat'' means matter. Matter will not stay, however you may chemically try to preserve. Will . . . it will not stay. Therefore matter's another name is ''asat''. And spirit's another name is sat. Sat means "which exists." ''Asat'' means "which does not exist."

''Antavanta ime dehā nityasyoktāḥ śarīriṇaḥ'' ([[BG 2.18 (1972)|BG 2.18]]). We have already described that this body, this body is ''antavat'': it has got end. But the consciousness, or the spirit soul, it is not . . . it is endless. So the endless, I mean to say, ever-existing soul, being contaminated by this body, he's full of anxiety. So Prahlāda Mahārāja thinks that in order to realize his self for self-realization, if he gives up all material engagement and takes to the path of self-realization, that is the best way of his life.

And the father became angry. "What nonsense he's taking? A five-years-old boy, he's taking . . . talking of self-realization. I wanted to make him a great politician, economist. Now he's talking of this nonsense and . . ." ''Hitvātma-pātaṁ gṛham andha-kūpam''. "He's describing that this family life is just like a dark well." If a man is put, dark well . . .

(break) . . . be engaged. Be . . .

(break) Whatever you are, that doesn't matter. But act it on the platform of consciousness. And that platform, acting on the consciousness, is Lord Caitanya has made very easy. Just like there are some note-makers of school books, "Easy Study." So Lord Caitanya has recommended that, "You may be engaged in whatever occupation. That may be good or bad. We don't mind for that. But you must hear the ''kṛṣṇa-kathā''. You must continue to hear this ''Bhagavad-gītā''."

That is . . . for this, we are trying to organize this institution that, "You come. Whatever you do, that doesn't matter. Everything will be adjusted by and by." Because, as I have described in the beginning that, ''śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ, hṛdy antaḥ-stho hy abhadrāṇi'' ([[SB 1.2.17]]). Everything will be adjusted as our mind becomes clear, clear, clear, simply by hearing. Simply by hearing.

So this process, this association of hearing about the ''kṛṣṇa-kathā'', what Kṛṣṇa is speaking and what is spoken about Kṛṣṇa, if we continue about the, about this process and chanting the Kṛṣṇa name, you'll practically see how much your heart is becoming clearer and clearer and how much you are pro . . . making progress towards spiritual realization and real, real identity of pure consciousness.

Thank you very much. Any question?

Mukunda: If a good man, who is passed through the states of being ignorant and passionate, and he's really a good man, is walking down the street, let's say, in Delhi or Istanbul or any place, any city, and he sees a very young man beating up on a very old man just for no reason at all. He's just beating up, beating him to death. And the old man is sort of calling out for help, and there's a few people standing around.

And as he approaches, he, he begins to get stirred by this scene. And being a good man, he feels the whip on this other human being's back. Now, as a good man, should he not take sides on the two people quarreling and accept it and just walk on, even though he feels something welling up in him, or should he give way to what would be a passionate desire and try to interrupt and stop this injustice, so to speak?

Prabhupāda: The whole idea is that action, either in ignorance or passion or goodness—we have discussed that point—that doesn't matter. That action should be done from the spiritual consciousness platform. That's all. Then you transcend the reaction. Just like, for example, Arjuna. Arjuna's fighting . . .

This fighting is on the modes of passion. Passion. Now, when the, that work of passion, if he does . . . now, Arjuna was thinking not to fight, not to fight, because he thought that, "Fighting with my brothers, with my relatives, is not good."

Mukunda: Yes.

Prabhupāda: So, from material point of view, it is all right. From material point of view. But the thing is that a material point of view, if you do act good work, you have to enjoy the reaction. That is the point. As I have already explained that by your good work, you get good birth, you get good wealth, you get good education, good features of body.

But that is not the solution of your problem. Here, the whole thing is that how to act. If we act from the material platform, even in the modes of goodness, that is also not solution of my life. But even . . . even in the spiritual, from the spiritual platform, if we act which apparently may seem to be acts of passion, that is not reactionary. That is not reactionary.

Just like Arjuna. Arjuna . . . now, the Lord says that you become free from the reaction of your activities. That is the proposition. Now, at the same time, He's inducing Arjuna to fight. Now, fighting is on the platform, on the modes of passion.

Does it mean that simultaneously Kṛṣṇa is inducing him to be entangled in the reaction of passion modes? No. That action, even apparently appears to be act . . . being acted on the platform of passion, it is transcendental because it is direction of the supreme consciousness.

So whole thing is that we have to . . . just like . . . same example can be cited, that a soldier is killing his enemy, and the soldier's rewarded, "Oh, you have killed such a big enemy. You are rewarded." Do you mean to say by killing, one is rewarded? But he is not acting on his own platform. He's acting on higher consciousness platform, higher order. So if a commander's order can give him immunity from the reaction of being hanged, why not God's command? That is the thing.

So we have . . . we haven't to discriminate whether I am in the modes of ignorance or passion or goodness. No. We have simply to see whether I'm acting under the direction of the supreme consciousness. That is the thing to be seen. Then we are free. Then our life becomes free. That thing you have to learn.

Yes?

Student: Is there . . .? Am I my brother's keeper? Am I . . . am I responsible for my brother's actions?

Prabhupāda: Yes. Materially, you are responsible. Because materially you are responsible for all acts, good or bad. That I have already explained. So you may think that you have taken the responsibility of maintaining your brother, but at the same time, you are responsible for all the reactions.

Student: For all the . . .?

Prabhupāda: For all the reactions out of that act. It may be bad or good. That doesn't matter. But our problem is not to be infected with the reaction. If you think that bringing up your brother . . . it is, actually, it is good thing. You are doing good thing. That's all right. And you'll have the good result of it. But that, having that good result, does not mean that you are free from the reaction.

Now, our problem is that we want to be free from the reaction. So long . . . now . . . the same answer is there, that reaction of my good work, that I get good birth, I get good education, I get sufficient wealth or I get good features of body. These things are goodness of this material world. But that does not make solution of the disease in which . . .

(break) . . . ''vyādhi'': birth, death, old age and disease. The whole problem is that we have to get out of this material existence. So the, from the material point of view, or platform, any act, good or bad, that will have material reaction. And we are . . . we want to get out of this material reaction. That is our point of view.

Prabhupāda: . . . Brahman means "the greatest." So what is the idea of the greatest? The greatest means . . . that is described by ''Parāśara-sūtra'', that He is the greatest in wealth, greatest in fame, greatest in knowledge, greatest in renunciation, greatest in beauty, everything, whatever attractive. How, how you can understand "greatest"? "Greatest" does not mean that sky is the greatest.

That is impersonal theory. But our "greatest" idea is that one who can swallow millions of sky within Himself, He is greatest. The material conception, they cannot go further. They can simply think of the greatest: the sky. That's all. "As great as the sky." But we Vaiṣṇava, we see that Kṛṣṇa has within His mouth millions of skies. So who is greatest? Kṛṣṇa is greatest or the sky is greatest?

This is the difference between the Māyāvādī philosophers. Just like Caitanya . . . Kṛṣṇa, when He was boy, He was eating clay. His mother asked, "Oh, just open Your mouth. I want to see what You are eating." And Kṛṣṇa showed him (her) that millions of planets and millions of skies are within the mouth.

So He is greatest, who can show that, "Millions of skies are within Me." He is greatest. That means greatest in opulence of strength . . . greatest in strength, greatest in wealth, great . . . everything greatest. He is greatest. That is Caitanya Mahāprabhu's . . . He says Brahman means the greatest, and greatest means one who is greatest in six opulences.

Now, so there are ''Upaniṣads''. Generally they take eleven ''Upaniṣads'' primarily, but there are 108 ''Upaniṣads''. Sometimes the explanation is given that "Why we have got 108 beads?" "Because there are 108 ''Upaniṣad''."

So chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa with 108 beads means that we are surpassing the study of 108 ''Upaniṣads''. Another meaning is that there are 108 damsels who served Kṛṣṇa with all respect at Vṛndāvana. So that is also another explanation, 108. We are serving Kṛṣṇa's servitors, hundred and . . . chief damsels of . . . at Vṛndāvana.

So these 108 ''Upaniṣads'' are described, ''īśa kena kaṭha praśna muṇḍa māṇḍūkyo taittirī'' . . . you can count how many: ''Īśopaniṣad'', ''Kenopaniṣad'', ''Kaṭhopaniṣad, Praśnopaniṣad, Muṇḍakopaniṣad, Māṇḍūkyopaniṣad, Taittirīyopaniṣad''. Then ''aitareyas ca chāndogya bṛhad-āraṇyakam tathā'': then ''Aitareya Upaniṣad, Chāndogyopaniṣad, Bṛhad-āraṇyakopaniṣad, Brahmokaivalyopaniṣad, Jābālopaniṣad''.

There are so many ''Upaniṣad'', 108 ''Upaniṣad''. ''Āruṇeyopaniṣad, Garbho, Nārāyaṇo, Haṁsa''. This ''Haṁsadūta'', the name, the ''Haṁsa Upaniṣad'', it comes from ''Haṁsa. Garbho nārāyaṇo haṁso bindūro nārada sikaḥ: Sika-upaniṣad, Nārada Upaniṣad''.

:''maitrayaṇi kauṣītakī''
:''bṛhaj-jābāla-tāpanī-''
:''kālāgni-rudra-maitri-''
:''subālakṣari-mantrika''

There are so many ''Upaniṣad''; we cannot remember them. Out of them, nine ''Upaniṣad'', just like ''Īśopaniṣad, Kenopaniṣad, Kaṭhopaniṣad, Muṇḍakopaniṣad, Māṇḍūkyopaniṣad, Aitareyopaniṣad, Taittirīya Upaniṣad'', just like, these nine ''Upaniṣad'' are very much popular, and generally people read these nine ''Upaniṣad''.

Now, so far ''Upaniṣads'' are concerned, here are some of the notes from different ''Upaniṣads'' given by Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura. He's quoting just like the statement of ''Upaniṣad, pūrṇam adaḥ, pūrṇam adaḥ pūrṇam idaṁ pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate'' ([[ISO (1974) Invocation|Īśopaniṣad, Invocation]]). This is statement of one ''Upaniṣad'', that the Supreme is ''pūrṇam'', means complete. There is no minus—it is always full, always ''pūrṇa. Pūrṇam adaḥ pūrṇam idam''. And because this creation, material creation, is emanated from that supreme complete, therefore this is also complete. ''Pūrṇam idam. Pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate''. If a thing is complete and full, then the products should be also complete and full. So these are the statements.

So how Kṛṣṇa is complete? Kṛṣṇa is complete—His energy, His opulence, His beauty, His knowledge. Similarly, He's complete always. Then another statement, ''vicitra śakti puruṣa purāṇa''. Another statement of Vedic literature, ''Upani'' . . . that ''vicitra śakti puruṣa purāṇa''. That Supreme Absolute Truth is a ''puruṣa''. ''Purusa'' means enjoyer, man.

Man is supposed to be the enjoyer. He's not woman. Woman is supposed to be enjoyed. Therefore this very word is used: ''puruṣa''. And ''purāṇa'', the oldest man. Oldest man. Nobody . . . because He's the cause of all causes, therefore He should be the oldest. And we are also oldest, because we are part and parcel. We are also oldest.

That is stated in the ''Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā, na jāyate na mriyate vā kadācit, pūrṇo nityaḥ purāṇah . . . na jāyate na mriyate vā kadācit na bhūtvā na bhūyaḥ bhavitā vā, nityaḥ śāśvato 'yaṁ purāṇaḥ'' ([[BG 2.20 (1972)|BG 2.20]]). ''Nityaḥ śāśvataḥ ayaṁ purāṇaḥ. Purāṇa'' means the oldest. We are also the oldest. So because part and parcel, it is always with the Supreme. Just like the molecule of sunshine: they are part and parcel of the sun. Whenever there is sun, oh, the molecules of sunshine is also there. Similarly, we are molecules of the Supreme. Therefore whenever the Supreme is there, we are also there. Therefore we are also ''purāṇa''.

And ''puruṣa''. ''Puruṣa'' means the tendency of becoming enjoyer. So that tendency we have also got. But we do not know that we can enjoy in cooperation with the Supreme because we are subordinate. Differently, we cannot enjoy. As soon as we make our plan to enjoy life differently with Kṛṣṇa, then we fall under the clutches of ''māyā''.

We cannot do that. Therefore we have to revive our consciousness that we agree to cooperate with Kṛṣṇa. That will give us ''ānandamayo 'bhyāsāt'' (''Vedānta-sūtra'' 1.1.12). ''Ānandamayo 'bhyāsāt''. Just like if you want to enjoy your life, some way or other if you can secure a very nice service in the government, oh, your life is fulfilled. But if you want to enjoy your life separately . . . the government is all-powerful. If you become a departmental secretary, oh, immediately you get five thousand dollars and everything is all right. Similarly, some way or other if you can become a secretary of Kṛṣṇa, then your all problems solved. Don't try to enjoy independently. That is ''māyā''. That is ''māyā''.

Similarly, there are other statements. ''Sa vṛkṣaḥ kalaḥ kṛtibhiḥ paro 'nyat yasmād prapañca-parivartateyaṁ dharmavahaṁ pāpamaruddham''. Then another statement, ''vedāham etat puruṣaṁ mahāntam aditya-varṇaṁ tamasaḥ parastād'', that ''vedāham'': "I understand that Supreme Person." ''Vedāham''. ''Vedāham'' means "I understand." ''Puruṣa''. He's again ''puruṣa''. In the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' also you'll find, when Arjuna is recognizing Kṛṣṇa, he said, ''paraṁ brahma paraṁ dhāma pavitraṁ paramaṁ bhavān puruṣam'' ([[BG 10.12-13 (1972)|BG 10.12]]). Again ''puruṣam''.

So God is never woman. The foolish person who says that God is . . . can be worshiped as woman, as mother . . . no. That is not according to Vedic literature. God is always father. Therefore Bible is all right: conception of father, not mother. Not that "I worship Kali, goddess mother, and become God." These are all nonsense. He's always father, ''puruṣa''.

Everywhere we find ''puruṣa''. Never we find that God is a female. No. God cannot be female. Female is energy. Just like Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. Rādhā is Kṛṣṇa, but the energy of Kṛṣṇa, pleasure potency of Kṛṣṇa. There is no difference between Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa, and still, Kṛṣṇa is male and Rādhā is female. So God, conception of God, always . . .

Now, again, ''patiṁ patīnāṁ paramaṁ parastād'' (''Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad'' 6.7). That, that ''puruṣa'', that . . .

(break) . . . ''mahāntam''. The greatest, ''mahāntam. Mahāntam'' means the last word of the greatest. ''Antam'' means the last, and ''mahā ''means great. We have got idea of great, great, greater, greater, greater, greatness, greatness. Where we finish all greatness, He's ''mahāntam''. ''Mahāntam aditya-varṇam''. ''aditya-varṇam ''means . . . ''aditya'' means the sun. Just like sun: wherever the sun planet is there, oh, there is sunshine, always shining. So where the sun planet . . . wherefrom . . . the sun planet is also a material thing like this earth. Wherefrom the . . .

(break) . . . inhabitants, they're all fiery. Therefore their glaring effulgence is being manifested.

So if you can see in the material world such effulgence of a certain point, particular planet, how can you disbelieve that Kṛṣṇa planet is more dazzling? Kṛṣṇa planet is more dazzling, and from Kṛṣṇa planet the ''brahma-jyotir'' is emanating. ''Yasya prabhā prabhavato jagad-aṇḍa-koṭi-koṭiṣv aśeṣa-vasudhadi vibhūti-bhinnam'' (Bs. 5.40). We get this information from ''Brahma-saṁhitā'' that, by spreading His effulgence, ''yasya prabhā . . . prabhā'' means illumination, ''prakāśa''. Just like this light is illuminating. So ''yasya prabhā''. "Because illuminating light is emanating from His body . . ." ''Yasya prabhā prabhavato jagad-aṇḍa-koṭi'': "In that effulgence, millions and millions of planets are generating."

The same example you can take, that all these planets . . . this is, I mean to say, scientifically true, that all these planets, they have generated from the sunshine. Similarly, spiritual world, that effulgence of the body of Kṛṣṇa, that is spread, and there hundreds and millions of Vaikuṇṭha planets are there. ''Mahāntam aditya-varṇam''. And then where is that Aditya? Where is that supreme sun? ''Tamasaḥ parastāt'': that is beyond this darkness.

This material world is dark by nature. We have several times explained. Therefore in that temporary . . . now, just see the arrangement. The sun is there to drive out darkness, but this night is also there so that we can understand that by nature it is dark. Simply by timely appearance of the sun, it becomes day.

Therefore there is day and night, day and night, day and night. ''Tamasaḥ parastāt''. And other Vedic literatures—''tamasi mā jyotir gamaḥ'' (''Bṛhad-āraṇyaka Upaniṣad'' 1.3.28): "Don't keep yourself in this darkness. Just try to get out of it and go to that Brahman effulgence." ''Jyotir gamaḥ. Tamasaḥ parastāt''. Then another ''Upaniṣad, patiṁ patīnāṁ paramaṁ parastāt'' (''Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad'' 6.7). ''Patiṁ patīnām''.

There are many ''patis''. ''Patis'' means proprietor, or husband. A husband is also considered a proprietor of the woman according to Vedic literature; therefore the word ''dāsī''. A woman's surname is ''dāsī''. She agrees to serve the man. You have observed, when we get young couples married, we get it promised: the husband promises that, "I take charge of your life. Your whole life shall be dependent upon me. I take full charge of you." And the woman agrees, "Yes, I also agree to serve you the whole life." This is marriage.

The . . . if we exploit, of course . . . but this is the nice arrangement. This is cooperation. A woman agrees that, "I shall serve you," because the man requires woman's service in so many ways: by her ser . . . cooking, by her embracing, by her becoming beautiful, so many ways. That is the encouragement so that he can work, he can live peacefully, he can discharge spiritual duties nicely. So there is cooperation. ''Stri-puruṣa''. ''Puruṣa'' is supposed to be enjoyer, but both their life become sublime when there is cooperation.

So ''patiḥ patīnām''. So everyone is given the chance of becoming a ''pati''. ''Pati'' means husband, or proprietor. Even the ant, it has got also a companion, female ant. Even the dog, it has got also companion. Even the small bird, even the insect, even the fly—everyone is given. This is called ''viṣaya''. ''Viṣaya'' means material enjoyment.

So ''viṣayaḥ khalu sarvataḥ syāt'' ([[SB 11.9.29]]). This ''viṣaya'', this material enjoyment, is provided by the laws of nature everywhere. Don't think that it is in the human society there is love and there is male-female combination. No. Everywhere. That is nature's arrangement. ''Viṣayaḥ khalu sarvataḥ syāt''. Therefore ''Bhāgavata'' asks everybody that "Don't be after ''viṣaya''. ''Viṣaya'' is already arranged. Accept it as it is." But ''tūrṇaṁ yateta na mṛtyuṁ pateta yāvat niḥśreyasāya'': "Your endeavor should be how to elevate yourself spiritually. Don't bother about ''viṣaya''. ''Viṣaya'' is already arranged by nature's way."

So ''patiṁ patīnāṁ paramaṁ parastāt''. Now, He's also . . . God is also, as we are given the chance of becoming husband, similarly, He's the supreme husband. Supreme husband. Now, if He's the supreme husband and if He marries sixteen thousand wives, it is very difficult for Him? It is not at all difficult.

So people do not understand, do not consult this Vedic literature, how it is stated the Supreme. How one can become Supreme? The Supreme . . . we judge the Supreme in the same philosophy, frog philosophy. "Atlantic Ocean? Oh, it may be a little bigger than this well. That's all." So our calculation of God is always like that. "Kṛṣṇa, He looks like us, just like a man. So what is there? He may be a little powerful than me.

All right, He has spoken ''Bhagavad-gītā''. All right. He's little more wiser than us." So we always compare with us. But it is not. He's supreme. We have no idea of the Supreme. Therefore we forget personality. ''Patiṁ patī'' . . . it is clearly stated, ''pati''. Can ''pati'', the husband or proprietor, can become imperson? No. When the conception of ''pati'', husband and proprietor, is there, then He is personal. ''Patiṁ patīnāṁ paramaṁ parastāt mahān prabhavaiḥ puruṣaḥ'' (''Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad'' 6.7).

Then again there is another statement: ''mahān prabhavaiḥ puruṣaḥ''. The Lord Caitanya is called ''mahāprabhu'', ''mahānprabhu''. ''Prabhu'', master. There are different kinds of master, but He's the ''mahān-prabhu'', the supreme master, supreme master, and ''puruṣa'' at the same time. ''Prabhu'', you can say . . . a woman also can become the master. Just like in England there is queen. But no. ''Puruṣa''. He is never woman. ''Parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate'' (''Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad'' 6.8).

Then again another statement from the ''Upaniṣad'', that "The Supreme has multi-energies." ''Svābhāvikī jñāna-bala-kriyā ca''. He has got so much energies that it appears that it is being automatically done. Just like a, I mean to say, very important man you see. You go there and you . . . suppose you ask him for some help, and suppose you want one million dollar, and if he gives you a slip, oh, you take it from there. If you get immediately, then you will understand, "Oh, how much powerful he is. Simply by a pencil, like this, I got millions of dollars!"

So God is so powerful. It appears . . . everything is wonderfully, this material nature is working. But it is due to God's energy. His energies are so multifarious, He's so expert, that it appears automatically being done. Not automatically. Not automatically. No. Just like a big mathematician: you give him a very big sum, oh, and within a second, he will at once add it. And for me, I shall commit so many mistakes and perhaps the whole day will go on. Still, I shall not be able. Especially myself. I am never correct in adding.

So if the . . . supreme power means He has got so much energies, different kinds of energy, that it appears that there is no background, but the nature is working automatically. No. ''Bhagavad-gītā'' says no. ''Mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sa-carācaram'' ([[BG 9.10 (1972)|BG 9.10]]): "The whole nature is working under My superintendence." But the superintendence is so perfect and so nice and so energetic that there cannot be any mistake. So this is called ''parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate''.

Any question? Thank you very much. (break)

Bhaktijana: What's the relationship between Kṛṣṇa and Rādhā? Rādhā is the energy of Kṛṣṇa?

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Ravindra-svarūpa: If the ''brahma-jyotir'' is in the spiritual sky, how could we reach it in our mind? Is it in our mind also?

Prabhupāda: It is here also. Just like the sunshine, when it is covered by cloud, the sunshine is also there. Do you follow? You see that the sky is covered, but still you say, "It is day." Why? The sunshine is there. Similarly, ''brahma-jyotir'' is here also. ''Sarvaṁ khalu iti brahma'': "Everything is Brahman," but it is covered by ''māyā''. Therefore the full-fledged ''brahma-jyotir'', you cannot see.

Ravindra-svarūpa: I thought it was a place that was far away.

Prabhupāda: Yes. It is . . . just like above the cloud there is sunshine, fully. We have seen it in an aeroplane. This airlines, US Airlines, they say "friendly sky." So go to the friendly sky. Why do you remain here, nonsense sky, always covered with cloud? Go to the friendly sky. Just go above the cloud. The cloud is ''māyā''.

Go above the ''māyā'', then you see. You are seeing already, but it is not full-fledged experience. Everything we are seeing. We have experienced God's power, God's energy. But because we are in ignorance, therefore we cannot conceive perfectly. And as soon as you are above the ''māyā . . . māyām etāṁ taranti te'' ([[BG 7.14 (1972)|BG 7.14]]). That ''māyā'' you can, I mean to say, surpass simply by Kṛṣṇa consciousness. As you become full-fledged Kṛṣṇa conscious, oh, then you see always ''brahma-jyotir'' and Brahman and Kṛṣṇa and everything. And so far your present condition is, you are seeing also just now. Because without Brahman, there cannot be any existence.

So one has to learn. In the flower you can see. In the tree you can see. In the taste you can see. In the water you can see. In the sound you can see. That is all stated in the ''Bhagavad-gītā''. ''Raso 'ham apsu kaunteya'' ([[BG 7.8 (1972)|BG 7.8]]): "I am the taste of the water." Water is so popular, so tasteful to every living entity. Man, beast, birds—anyone—water requires. Why? There is a nice taste, quench our thirst. And Kṛṣṇa says, ''raso 'ham apsu'': "That taste in water, I am." So if you are Kṛṣṇa conscious, if you know from the ''śāstras'' that "This taste is Kṛṣṇa," then at once you become Kṛṣṇa conscious while drinking water. "I am sound in the sky."

So as soon as there is some sound, "Oh, here is Kṛṣṇa." In this way, you study Kṛṣṇa, you'll see. In the taste of water you will find Kṛṣṇa. In the sound vibration you will find Kṛṣṇa. If there is somebody very powerful, you will find Him Kṛṣṇa. These description are there in the ''Bhagavad-gītā''. This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Yes?

Devotee: Swāmījī, you said that, one time, that ''brahma-jyotir'' is like the pure light, and it's filtered in the material world through the modes?

Prabhupāda: Yes. Material world means three modes.

Devotee: So is that like . . . well . . . because the modes don't exist in the spiritual world. Is that right?

Prabhupāda: Yes. Just like if you go above the cloud, there is no cloud. That's all. But there is . . . in a certain portion of the sky, there is cloud. And that cloud is also not permanent. Sometimes sky is clear of all clouds, but sometimes cloud is there. The cloud is generating in the sky and it is vanquished in the sky. Similarly, this material world is sometimes being manifested and sometimes there is no manifestation, simply spiritual.

Spiritual is always eternal. The sky, sunshine, is always eternal. Take this crude example. But the cloud is not eternal. It comes and goes. Although cloud is a product of the same sunshine, cloud is not independent. By interaction of sunshine, there is cloud, and that cloud is . . . there is no cloud. Similarly, this material world is just like cloud. It appears. It acts. When there is cloud, there is torrents of rain. Oh, there are so many productions on account of rain. Everything becomes green.

So we give so much importance to the cloud, and it is important also—but it is temporary. As soon as the cloud is over, the greenness is gone. There is no rain. Nothing, nothing. And when the sky is clear, you'll see, "Oh, where is cloud? Where is cloud?" Similarly, this ''māyā'' means it appears like the cloud, and it disappears like the cloud. But the eternal ''brahma-jyotir'' remains.

Bhaktijana: Did Kṛṣṇa create us for . . . to serve Him?

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Bhaktijana: Did Kṛṣṇa create us to serve Him?

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Bhaktijana: And to enjoy us?

Prabhupāda: Yes. Very nice. So we should prepare ourselves to our healthy condition. That is our healthy condition. As soon as we understand that Kṛṣṇa created us . . . Kṛṣṇa created . . . there is no creation. Just like if I say that my hand is created—no, it is not created. As long as the body is there, the hand is there. Otherwise, there is no meaning of body.

Similarly, we are not created. Kṛṣṇa is always there; we are also always there. And there are millions and millions of liberated soul who are engaged in Kṛṣṇa. They never misuse their independence. And we small quantity, we misused our independence. We wanted to enjoy separately. Therefore we are conditioned.

Bhaktijana: But there are, there are many . . .?

Prabhupāda: . . . liberated souls. They are never conditioned. They never become conditioned. Yes?

Devotee: You mean they never were conditioned at any time or . . .

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Devotee: You said there were millions of souls . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes. They were never conditioned. They were never conditioned. They are called ''nitya-mukta'', eternally liberated. We are only simple few, this material world. Just like I have several times told you that the prison house. The population of prison house is nothing in comparison to the whole population.

What is that? Suppose in New York there is a prison house. Oh, what may be the number? A few thousand maybe? But here, millions. Similarly, the liberated souls are millions; we are only few thousands, or hundreds. ''Ekāṁśena sthito jagat'' ([[BG 10.42 (1972)|BG 10.42]]). We are thinking this universe is very great. It is nothing in comparison to the whole creation of the Lord. You are seeing only universe, but there are millions of universes like this. All together, they are ''ekāṁśena sthito jagat''. That is stated in the ''Bhagavad-gītā''. This is only a part of Kṛṣṇa's creation.

One devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa, er, Lord Caitanya, requested, "My dear Lord, You have come to deliver all the fallen souls. You please take all the conditioned souls of this universe, and if You think they are not competent, they are sinful, You can give me all the sin to me. I shall suffer for them, but You kindly take." So this is the desire of a pure devotee that, "All may go with Kṛṣṇa. Let them become liberated. I shall suffer all their . . ."

Now, Caitanya Mahāprabhu replied that, "Suppose I keep your request; I take these, all the living entities of this universe. Do you think, is there any loss of this material world? It is just like a one mustard seed in the bag of mustard seed." So this universe is just like one mustard seed in one big bag of mustard seed. Can you count how many mustard seeds are in a big bag?

So the idea was that Caitanya Mahāprabhu replied that, "Even this universe is delivered fully, oh, there is a big bag of mustard seed. It is only one grain." There are so many conditioned souls, and these conditioned souls are only insignificant in comparison to the liberated soul. Just imagine what is the quantity of liberated souls.

Bhaktijana: How could we make a poor choice if we were part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa? How could we have chosen the material world?

Prabhupāda: Oh, because you have got independence. Don't you see so many students come, they go away again? Yesterday Kīrtanānanda went to call Rancor. He said: "Oh, I have forgotten this!" So you can forget. There is another student, he was also our student, Wally. "Oh, you can go immediately!" Suppose if you . . ."Oh, I don't care for this Kṛṣṇa consciousness Society. Who calls you? You can go." That independence is there. We can misuse.

Bhaktijana: But Kṛṣṇa will always be there if we want to go back?

Prabhupāda: Eh? Kṛṣṇa is always prepared to accept you. He's always prepared. But because He has given us independence, we misuse it and we fall under the clutches of ''māyā''. That is our misfortune. We create this misfortune, and we can create our good fortune. "Man is the architect of his own fortune." So if you become Kṛṣṇa conscious, it is to your good fortune. If you become ''māyā'' conscious, it is to your bad fortune. You are the creator.

Bhaktijana: When the souls that were never conditioned at all . . . do they also have the independence?

Prabhupāda: Yes, but they have not misused. They know that "I am meant for Kṛṣṇa's service," and they are happy in Kṛṣṇa's service.

Bhaktijana: Could they ever misuse it?

Prabhupāda: Yes, they can misuse it also. That power is there. Yes?

Devotee: Well, I believe you once said that once a conditioned soul becomes perfected and gets out of the material world and he goes to Kṛṣṇaloka, there's no possibility of falling back.

Prabhupāda: No! There is possibility, but he does not come. Just like after putting your hand in the fire, you never put it again if you are really intelligent. So those who are going back to Godhead, they become intelligent. Why going back to Godhead?

Just like we are in renounced order of life. So we have renounced our family life after thinking something. Now, if somebody comes, "Swāmījī, you take thousand millions of dollar and marry again and become a family man," I'll never become, because I have got my bad experience. I'll never become.

So if one is intelligent enough, if he has got actually the bitter taste of this material world, he'll never agree. He'll never agree. But those who have not advanced to such knowledge, oh, they think, "Oh, this material enjoyment is very nice. Let me taste it and let me do business in my ''sannyāsī'' life, and stealthily and privately, let me enjoy." These things are going on. That means they have no taste. They come to hospital-making or this philanthropy. This come again.

''Sthānād bhraṣṭād patanty adhaḥ. Ye 'nye aravindākṣa vimukta-māninaḥ''. "Those fools who are thinking that 'Simply by thinking myself, "I am God, I am Brahman, I have become liberated," ' " but ''ye 'nye 'ravindākṣa vimukta-māninas tvayy asta-bhāvāt'' ([[SB 10.2.32]]). "But there is no knowledge about You, Kṛṣṇa," ''āruhya kṛcchreṇa paraṁ padam'', "they, after performing so much austerity and penances, they rise up to the highest position, Brahman realization, but," ''patanty adhaḥ'', "they fall down."

We have got so many instances. They take ''sannyāsa''. They say that ''brahma satyaṁ jagan mithyā'': "This world is false. Brahman is truth." But after some days, they come to politics, they come to sociology, they come to hospital, they come to this and that. That's all. Finished. Brahman finished. ''Patanty adhaḥ''.

They must fall down, because they have no shelter in Kṛṣṇa. Just like the sputnik goes very high, clap, hear clap. Uh, come down again. Where you'll go? Yes. Simply for the time being clapping (claps), that's all. (laughs) But the fools, they are so nonsense, they are satisfied with that temporary clapping. That's all.

Bhaktijana: Has my soul ever been liberated?

Prabhupāda: That you know. I do not know.

Bhaktijana: If I was once liberated . . .

Prabhupāda: You are liberated. You are liberated. Simply just a cloud has covered you. Drive away the cloud. There is no question that you were ever. You are ever-liberated. That, the sky is always spiritual, but it is sometimes overcrowded with cloud, this ''māyā''. This is called ''māyā''. Actually, you are not conditioned. You are thinking. Just like in the dream you are thinking that tiger is eating you.

You were never eaten by tiger. There is no tiger. So we have to get out of this dream. Don't you sometimes dream that tiger is eating you? Is there any tiger? You are simply thinking. So if you keep in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, that nonsense thinking will go away. Therefore we have to keep ourself always in Kṛṣṇa-thinking, so that this dream will never come. If you are always awakened, then dream never comes. So keep yourself always awakened by Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

All right. Distribute ''prasādam''. (end)

Prabhupāda:

:''jñāna-yajñena cāpy anye''
:''yajanto mām upāsate''
:''ekatvena pṛthaktvena''
:''bahudhā viśvato-mukham''
:([[BG 9.15 (1972)|BG 9.15]])

Now Lord Kṛṣṇa, after describing about the ''mahātmās'', or the great souls, who worship the Supreme Lord by this process of ''kīrtana . . . satataṁ kīrtayanto mām'' ([[BG 9.14 (1972)|BG 9.14]]). ''Śravaṇaṁ kīrtanam'' ([[SB 7.5.23-24|SB 7.5.23]]).

The process of devotion is nine different types. ''Śravaṇam''. ''Śravaṇam'' means hearing. ''Kīrtanam''. ''Kīrtanam'' means chanting. ''Kīrtanam'' actually means describing. You can describe with music. You can describe with words. You can describe in speeches. Any sort of describing, that is called ''kīrtana''. And ''śravaṇam''. Unless you hear, you cannot describe. What you shall describe? If you do not know anything about the Supreme Lord, then how can you describe?

Therefore hearing is the first item, ''śravaṇam''. And the whole Vedic literature is called hearing, ''śruti'', ''śruti-śāstra''. ''Śruti'' means to receive hearing. If you want to know the Supreme, you do not require to qualify yourself materially. You can remain what you are, but if you simply hear . . . God has given you the power of hearing. If you hear from authoritative sources, then you become perfect, simply by hearing. Therefore the first principle, hearing, is recommended, ''śravaṇam''.

And formerly, the ''Vedas'' were heard by the students from the spiritual master. Just like in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' you'll find that Arjuna is hearing from Kṛṣṇa. He's not studying any ''Vedānta'' philosophy in the battlefield. He was simply hearing. So that is the process, hearing. You can hear at any place. Even in the warfield, you can hear from the authoritative source. So that was the process of acquiring knowledge, hearing.

Hearing means receiving the knowledge, not manufacturing. There are two process of knowledge. There are some persons who think, "Oh, why shall I hear from him? Oh, I can think. I can speculate. I can manufacture something new of my own group." These are nonsense. This is not Vedic process. Vedic process is hearing, ascending process, er, not . . . descending process. There are two processes of knowledge: ascending and descending. Ascending means trying to go high by your strength, and descending means the pure knowledge which comes from up, you receive it. Inductive and deductive process.

So ascending process is not recommended in the Vedic process of knowledge. Vedic way of receiving knowledge—by aural reception, by submissive aural reception from the spiritual master to the student. This is the way. It is coming. As we have read in the Fourth Chapter of ''Bhagavad-gītā, evaṁ paramparā-prāptam imaṁ rājarṣayo viduḥ'' ([[BG 4.2 (1972)|BG 4.2]]): "In this way, traditionally, from the spiritual master to the student, this knowledge was imparted." The Lord said that "I imparted this knowledge first of all to the sun-god, and the sun-god imparted this knowledge to his son, Manu, and Manu imparted this knowledge to his son, Ikṣvāku."

Ikṣvāku was the king of this planet. So from Ikṣvāku, this knowledge is coming down from the master, or from the father to the son, or from the master to the disciple. It is coming on. And because that disciplic succession was broken, therefore Lord Kṛṣṇa said that "I am speaking again that old system of knowledge to you, Arjuna, because you are My devotee, you are My dear friend." We have already studied this fact. So this is the way.

Therefore ''śravaṇam''. ''Śravaṇam'' is the . . . ''Śravaṇam'' means hearing. Hearing is the first stage. And hearing is so powerful that simply by hearing from authoritative source, you can become completely perfect, simply by hearing. Submissive hearing, of course. Submissive. ''Jñāne prayāsam udapāsya namanta eva'' ([[SB 10.14.3]]). This is a verse from ''Bhāgavata, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Jñāne prayāsam udapāsya namanta eva''. Don't be upstart. Don't try to understand the supreme knowledge, the Absolute Truth, by your strength.

You are very poor. Your senses are imperfect. You cannot understand. This, this process, you should give up. ''Jñāne prayāsam''. Attempt to know the Supreme by ascending process. "Oh, I shall know. I'll manufacture my own way." This is the way going on nowadays. Everyone is thinking that "Why shall I accept any authority? I shall think myself what I am and what is my duty." This is going on. But this is not the Vedic process. The Vedic process is to ''śravaṇam''. So simply if we give up this foolish process of understanding the Absolute Truth by my own attempt, we, if we give up and we become submissive . . . yes. Submissive means we must know our imperfectness.

Our imperfectness I have several times described in this meeting. So long we are conditioned, there are four kinds of imperfectness, that we must commit mistake. So long we are conditioned, nobody can say that "I'll not commit mistake. I never commit any mistakes." It is not possible. You must have. To err is human. So this is one imperfectness. And to become illusioned.

To accept one thing which is not. Illusion means to accept something for something. Just like we accept this body. We identify with this body, every one of us. If we ask you what you are, "Oh, I am American." What is your American? This body is American. But it is not . . . you are not this body. So this is illusion. So conditioned soul is to commit mistake, to be illusioned, and the senses are imperfect.

We are very much proud of seeing, but as soon as the light is put off, we cannot see. So our seeing is conditional. And similarly, all senses are conditional. So therefore imperfect. And there is another thing which is very nice. We have got a cheating propensity. I do not know anything, but I want to cheat others that I know everything. I don't . . . I am a fool number one, but I want to start a group of students and teach him foolish things. This is cheating. One must know from the authoritative sources and preach that thing. Just like Arjuna was taught by Kṛṣṇa, and that philosophy is going on. And those who are accepting the principle of Arjuna, they're real student of ''Bhagavad-gītā''.

So therefore our attempt to understand the Absolute Truth by our faulty senses and experience is futile. We must hear. ''Śravaṇam''. That is the Vedic process. The student used to go to the master and ''gurukula''. It was known as ''gurukula''. Every ''brāhmaṇa'', every self-realized soul, every ''vipra'', or expert in the knowledge of Vedic literature, he would be provided with some ''brahmacārīs'', group of ''brahmacārīs''.

They will follow the rules and regulation of ''brahmacārī'' life and live with the spiritual master, and the spiritual master will teach them, from Vedic literature, real knowledge. That is the process. This is called ''śravaṇam''. So one should not adopt the means of ascending process. ''Jñāne prayāsam udapāsya''. ''Udapāsya'' means "Give it up." And ''namanta eva'': "And be submissive." ''Namanta eva jīvanti san-mukharitāṁ bhavadīya-vārtām''.

In this way, if one lives and hears, ''san-mukharitām'', from the realized soul . . . just like Arjuna is hearing from Kṛṣṇa, from the perfect person, ''san-mukharitām''. Kṛṣṇa or His representative. His representative is a devotee of Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is just like . . . Arjuna. Arjuna was made representative of Kṛṣṇa. How? Because Arjuna, Kṛṣṇa said, ''bhakto 'si'': "You are My devotee." So nobody can become representative of Kṛṣṇa, or God, without becoming His devotee. One who thinks that "I am God," he cannot become the representative of God. Suppose some of your representatives . . . you are a businessman.

Just see our imperfectness . . . this body . . . we have got imperfectness, coughing something. So how we can become perfect? We are under the stringent rules and regulations of the nature. A little difference will put me into difficulty. So we are not all independent so long we are conditioned. So if . . . suppose you are a businessman. You send your representative for securing business. And if he represents himself to the customer, "I am the proprietor. I am the proprietor," how long he can prolong? As soon as the master will know that "This foolish man is representing himself as the proprietor of this firm," at once cancel. Because there is cheating. He's not proprietor.

Similarly, anyone who says that "I am God" he should not preach. He can think himself for acquiring knowledge of God. That is another thing. "I am God." "I am God" means to understand the quality of God, because I am qualitatively God. Because I am part and parcel of God, therefore my qualities are the same. Just like I have several times repeated that a part of gold, even a molecular part, a particle of gold, so it is gold. It is nothing but gold. Similarly, although we are very minute fragments of the Supreme, still, the quality is the same.

So if I study myself, then I can study God also because I can, I can understand the quality of God. I may not understand the quantity. Suppose if you receive some good grains of rice. You do not concern, think of what is the quantity in the stock, but the, from the sample, you can understand that "This quality rice is there. I can purchase." Then you make your transaction, "How many pounds you have got in your stock? I can take."

So quantity is different. But quality, from quality, you can select. You can make your selection, what sort of rice you shall purchase. So you are qualitatively one with God. Therefore, if you study yourself that "I am God," and if you study your all propensities, all qualities, then you can understand God. So that is a process. But you cannot preach that "I am God." Because if you preach yourself as God, then people may ask you, "If you God, if you are God, then show me your all-powerfulness." That you cannot show. So you cannot preach that "I am God."

So far Kṛṣṇa is concerned, He proved that He is God. How? In this ''Bhagavad-gītā''. Now we are reading Ninth Chapter. In the Eleventh Chapter Arjuna requested, "O Kṛṣṇa, that will You kindly show me Your universal form?" So Kṛṣṇa showed him, "Yes." So that . . . this was Arjuna's teaching to world that in future so many fools will represent himself as God. So don't be befooled by them. Just ask him, "Show me your universal form." Then accept him as God. Don't very cheaply accept any fool as God.

So this is the highest imperfection, that he is in the stringent laws of the material nature. If there is simply a toothache, he becomes overwhelmed, and he himself preaches as God. So this sort of thing can be accepted by similar foolish-natured people. God is supreme. Nobody can God. Nobody can be equal with God. God is called in the Vedic literature, ''asamaurdhva''. Asama means nobody's equal to Him. And nobody is higher than Him. ''Ūrdhva'' means higher. Nobody can be higher than God, and nobody can be equal to God. Everyone is lower than God, however great he may be. And there is a nice verse, ''śiva-viriñci-nutam'' ([[SB 11.5.33]]). ''Śiva-viriñci''.

Śiva means the Lord Śiva, and ''viriñci'' means Lord Brahmā. They are considered to be the topmost demigods in this material world. So they also offer their respectful obeisances to Viṣṇu, or God.

So nobody can be equal to God. Therefore we should be, instead of becoming God or instead of understanding God personally by our tiny knowledge and imperfect senses, better to become submissive. Give up this habit. ''Jñāne prayāsam udapāsya''. Just give up this habit, foolish habit, that "I can know God." Just become submissive and try to hear from authorities. ''San-mukharitām''. Who is authority? Authority is Kṛṣṇa and, or God, or His representative. Just like Lord Jesus Christ, he's representative of God.

So he's authority. Similarly, any authorized incarnation. But that incarnation will never say that, "I am God." "I am servant of God"—that is his representation. He'll never say: "I am God." That makes confirmation that he's representative of God. So he is authority, who does not say that, "I am God," but he says: "I am servant of God. I am son of God. I am devotee of God." He is representative, real representative. So we have to hear from him. ''Jñāne prayāsam udapāsya namanta eva''. I am just trying to explain to you the process of hearing. The process of hearing.

So submissively, submissively we shall try to hear from the authorized source, representative of God. ''San-mukharitāṁ bhavadīya-vārtāṁ jīvanti'', lives, ''sthāne sthitāḥ'' ([[SB 10.14.3]]). ''Sthāne sthitāḥ'' means keeping himself in his position. ''Sthāne sthitāḥ''. Just like you are hearing ''Bhagavad-gītā''. Some of you are medical man. Some of you are engineer. Some of you businessman. Some of you clerk. That doesn't matter. You keep yourself in your position.

You remain as American. You remain as Christian. It doesn't matter. But there is no harm in hearing ''Bhagavad-gītā''. There is no harm. You'll get knowledge. You'll get knowledge. You'll become better Christian. You'll become better American. You see? It is not the purpose, that we are trying to convert American into Indian, or Indian into American, or Christian into Hindu. That is not our mission. We are just preaching the science of Kṛṣṇa, or science of God, Kṛṣṇa consciousness. So everyone can learn this science. Just like when you go to college there is no question of whether a man is American or Indian or African.

Everyone is allowed in the schools, college and universities to take science, knowledge. So this is Kṛṣṇa consciousness, science of God. Everyone can take. ''Sthāne sthitāḥ''. You just keep yourself in your place. There is no need of change.

''Sthāne sthitāḥ śruti-gatām''. Again ''śruti''. ''Śruti'' means these ears, by hearing. ''Śruti-gatāṁ tanu-vāṅ-manobhiḥ'': "Just try to assimilate with your body, with your mind, with your intelligence." ''Śruti-gatāṁ tanu-vāṅ-manobhiḥ''. If you do this, then the result will be: ''prāyaśo 'jita jito 'py asi tais tri-lokyām''. God's another name is ''Ajita''. ''Ajita'' means nobody can conquer Him. Because everyone is lower than God, who will conquer Him?

Therefore His name is ''Ajita''. ''Ajita'' means unconquerable. What to speak of God, you cannot conquer even the energy of God. You are under the material energy of God. At your present conditioned life, you are under the energy of God, this material energy. You cannot conquer even the energy, so how you can conquer God? Not possible. So therefore another name of God is ''Ajita''. Just like Kṛṣṇa is another name of God.

Of course, according to Vedic literature, Kṛṣṇa is the principal name. God has many names. According to His work, according to different persons' understanding, He has got innumerable, numberless names. But the, in the Vedic literature it is said that Kṛṣṇa is the principal name. Because Kṛṣṇa means the highest pleasure.

So another name of God is ''Ajita''. ''Ajita'' means one who is unconquerable. So that unconquerable becomes conquered. How? By this process. What is that process? Just submissively hear and try to assimilate it nicely. That's all. So God is neither Christian or Hindu or Muslim or anything. God is God. If you hear ''Bhagavad-gītā'' submissively, with your arguments and . . . the first thing is you must be submissive. You should not think yourself that you are a . . . do not be puffed up with false knowledge. Everyone, we should think that we are ignorant. We should have to receive knowledge.

That should be the first step. And receive knowledge, and try to assimilate it, and try to apply it, apply it with your body, with your mind, with your intelligence. Then the, you'll understand God so nicely that although God is unconquerable, you'll conquer Him. You'll conquer Him, by this simple process.

So therefore ''śravaṇam'', hearing, is so important. So in the devotional service the first step is hearing, hearing submissively from the authoritative source and just to assimilate it and grasp it with our body, mind and intelligence. In this way you shall be able to conquer the unconquerable. And when you are able to do such, then you can make ''kīrtana'', ''kīrtana''. That is, that is the . . . but another process is . . . not another process, same process.

Whatever you learn, if you describe it, then that will help you to elevate yourself in this path of knowledge. Suppose whatever you are hearing this night in this platform, if you try to repeat it amongst your friends, amongst your family members, then you'll be established in this knowledge. That is called ''kīrtana''. ''Śravaṇaṁ kīrtanam''.

And what about, hearing? Hearing, we are . . . every, every day and night we are hearing something. There is television. There is radio. There is newspaper. There is so many things, hearing. Not that hearing. ''Śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ'' ([[SB 7.5.23-24|SB 7.5.23]]). Viṣṇu means the Supreme Lord. You should devote your time in hearing and chanting about Viṣṇu, Kṛṣṇa. ''Kṛṣṇa-kīrtanam''. ''Kīrtanād eva kṛṣṇasya mukta-saṅgaḥ paraṁ vrajet'' ([[SB 12.3.51]]).

If you simply do this, ''śravaṇam'' and ''kīrtanam'', then you shall become free from this material attachment, and you shall be elevated to the supreme place, the kingdom of God. ''Mukta-saṅga ''. . . this is the remedy suggested in this age. You cannot practice anything. You cannot practice sacrifice. You cannot practice speculation. You cannot practice ''yoga'', nothing. You can simply practice this: submissively hear from authoritative sources, try to assimilate it, and become perfect. Thank you very much. (end)

Prabhupāda:

:''. . . nāmutra''
:''vināśas tasya vidyate''
:''na hi kalyāṇa-kṛt kaścid''
:''durgatiṁ tāta gacchati''
:([[BG 6.40 (1972)|BG 6.40]])

Now, this verse we have been discussing last day, that one who falls down . . ." Suppose one has entered for spiritual cultivation of life, some way or other, he is not successful to complete the course. Then what happens to him?" That was the question of Arjuna. This is very nice question that, "Suppose one enters for cultivation of spiritual life. Some way or other . . ." Sometimes we do not follow the rules and . . .

(break) Sometimes we are entrapped by some feminine attraction. These are impediments. So we may not be able to make complete progress.

So Kṛṣṇa says that, "My dear Arjuna," ''na hi kalyāṇa-kṛt kaścid durgatim'', "anyone who has attempted even one percent sincerely culture of spiritual realization, he will never fall down." "He will never fall down." That sincerity. Because we are weak, and the material energy is very strong, so to adopt spiritual life is more or less declare war against the material energy.

The material . . . the illusory energy, she is trying to curb this conditioned soul as far as possible. Now, when the conditioned soul tries to get out of her clutches by spiritual advancement of knowledge, oh, she becomes more stringent. Yes. She wants to test, "How much this person is sincere?" So there will be so many allurement offered by the material energy.

Now, there is a story. There are many stories. One of them I am citing. It is very interesting. Viśvāmitra Muni. Viśvāmitra Muni, he was a great king, ''kṣatriya'', but his priest, Vasiṣṭha Muni, he had great spiritual power. So he renounced his kingdom. He wanted to advance. He was kingly, royal order, but still, he wanted to advance in the spiritual order. So he adopted ''yoga'' process, meditation. That time it was possible for adopting this process, ''yoga'' process.

So he was meditating in such a way that the Indra, who was the king of heaven, he thought that, "This man is trying to occupy my post." As there is competition . . . this is also . . . heaven means that is also material world. So this competition—no businessman wants an another businessman go ahead. He wants to cut down. Competition of price, quality. Similarly, that Indra, he thought that, "This man is so strongly meditating, it may be that I may be deposed and he come to my seat." Then he arranged one of his society girls, Menakā, to go there and allure this ''muni''.

So when Menakā approached that ''ṛṣi'', Viśvāmitra Ṛṣi, he was meditating. And simply by the sound of her bangles, she (he) could understand, "There is some woman." And as soon as he saw that is heavenly, celestial beauty, he was captivated. Then there was a result, that a great . . . Śakuntalā. Perhaps some of you may know. There is a book made by Kālidāsa, Śakuntalā. This Śakuntalā is supposed to be the most beautiful girl in the world, and she was born by this combination of Viśvāmitra Muni and Menakā.

So when this girl was born, then Viśvāmitra thought, "Oh, I was advancing in my spiritual culture, and again I have been entrapped." So he was going out. At the same time his wife, Menakā, brought this girl before her, and little child is always attractive. She showed that, "Oh, you have got such a nice girl, such beautiful girl, and you are going away? No, no. You should take care." So there is a picture, very nice. That is a very famous picture, that Menakā is showing Viśvāmitra Muni the girl, and the ''muni'' is like that, "No more show me." Yes. There is a picture. That is . . . then he went away.

So there are chances of failure. There are chances of failure. Just like a great sage like Viśvāmitra Muni, he also failed, failed for the time being. But Kṛṣṇa says that this failure is not, I mean to say, unsuccessful. As we have sometimes the proverb that, "Failure is the pillar of success," especially in the spiritual life, this failure is not discouraging. This failure is not discouraging.

So Kṛṣṇa says that "Even one fails in completing his spiritual course, still, there is no loss on his part." ''Pārtha naiva iha''. ''Iha'' means in this world. ''Na amutra''. ''Amutra'' means next world. ''Vināśas tasya vidyate'': "He will never vanquish." ''Vināśas tasya vidyate, na hi kalyāṇa-kṛt'': "Anyone who takes this auspicious line of spiritual culture," ''kaścid durgatiṁ tāta gacchati'', "he'll never fall down." Yes. And why? Now:

:''prāpya puṇya-kṛtāṁ lokān''
:''uṣitvā śāśvatīḥ samāḥ''
:''śucīnāṁ śrīmatāṁ gehe''
:''yoga-bhraṣṭo 'bhijāyate''
:([[BG 6.41 (1972)|BG 4.41]])

''Abhijāyate''. He says that this failure ''yogī'' . . . one who is successful, he enters into the kingdom of God. That is a different thing. But one who is a failed student, what happens to him? Now, ''prāpya puṇya-kṛtāṁ lokān'': "He enters into the planet where pious living entities are allowed to enter." That means he gets into the higher planets.

There are many planets within the universe, and the higher planets, there are more comforts, more duration of life, persons are more pious, religious, godly. As you make progress to the higher planets, these facilities are there, thousand times better than this planet. So Kṛṣṇa says that, "Even if he is failure, still, he goes to such planets where pious men are elevated." ''Prāpya puṇya-kṛtāṁ lokān'', and ''uṣitvā śāśvatīḥ samāḥ'': and he remains there for a long duration of time.

Now, in the heavenly kingdom, it is said that our six months is . . . six months are equal to their one day. And similarly, they live there for ten thousand years. This description we get from Vedic literature. Just like in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' you have got the duration of life of Brahmā. That is the highest planet. So Kṛṣṇa says that "After . . . even if he is a failure, he gets promotion to the higher planets." But in the higher planet you cannot remain for all the time. ''Kṣīṇe puṇya . . . kṣīṇe puṇya punaḥ martya-lokaṁ viśanti'': "When your pious balance is finished, then you are again fallen in this earth." ''Kṣīṇe puṇye punaḥ martya-lokaṁ viśanti''. ''Martya-lokam'' means, this ''martya-lokam'', this earth.

Now, even when he comes back here, He says, Lord Kṛṣṇa says that, "He gets his birth . . ." ''Śucīnāṁ śrīmatāṁ gehe yoga-bhraṣṭo 'bhijāyate''. He takes his birth in a family, two kinds of family. One family, ''śrīmatām''. ''Śrīmatām'' means very rich family, very rich family. So one who takes his birth in a very rich family, it should be understood that he was certainly a very pious man in his previous life.

By good work, by pious work, we get. In our next life, we get facilities, four kinds of facilities. What are they? Now, ''janma'', ''aiśvarya, śruta, śrī. Janma, aiśvarya, śruta, śrī''. ''Janma'' means to get birth in very aristocratic family, royal family, lord's family, rich family, ''janma''. Or acquires large extent of wealth, ''janmaiśvarya-śruta'' ([[SB 1.8.26]]).

''Śruta'' means becomes very learned scholar. So one who is learned scholar, it is to be understood that it is due to his past deeds. One who is rich man, it is to be understood that it is due to his pious acts in his last life. ''Janmaiśvarya-śruta-śrī''. ''Śrī'' means beauty. And one who is very beautiful, either male or female, it is to be understood that this is the result of his or her pious work in the past life.

So here it is said that ''śucīnāṁ śrīmatāṁ gehe yoga-bhraṣṭo . . . sucīnām'' means pious family. Pious family means ''brāhmaṇas''. They are ''śuci''. ''Śuci'' means always pure. ''Śuci'' means . . . a ''brāhmins'', means a cultured ''brāhmins'', they are always pure. Their habits, their behavior—everything is pure. That is called ''śucīnām''. That is a greater facility. And ''śrīmatām'', rich; rich family.

So the ''yoga-bhraṣṭa'', after living for many, many days in the higher planets where pious people have entered, then, when he again comes to this earth, he gets birth in a . . . either in a ''brāhmiṇ'' family, ''śucīnām'', or in a great, rich mercantile family. ''Śucīnāṁ śrīmatā . . . Śrīmatām'' is generally meant, a rich mercantile family. Just like you have got in your country Rockefeller family, Ford family. There are many. In India also there are Birla family, Barma family. Every country, there are rich family. So either in a purified family, just like ''brāhmiṇs'', or in a rich family. So at least, those who sincerely begin spiritual life, so their next life is guaranteed as human life, human form of life, for many days.

So those who are rich in this world or those who have got birth in a very, I mean to say, pious family, ''brāhmiṇ ''family, they should understand that, "It is God's grace that I have got my birth with such . . . so much facilities of life." Why ''śucīnām''? In a pious family one gets the chance of spiritual advancement. I shall say practically, from my own life, I was fortunate to get my, I mean to say, birth in a very pious family. Yes. My father was very pious man, and I wanted to imitate him in my childhood. Of course, our family was not very poor, but we were not very rich men. But my father was very pious man. So he was worshiping Kṛṣṇa.

So I, in my childhood, when I was five or six years old, I requested my father that, "Father, give me this Deity. I shall worship." So father purchased for me little Kṛṣṇa, Rādhā, and he gave me, and I was imitating. Whatever foodstuff I was getting, I was offering to Kṛṣṇa and eating. In this way I got my life developed. And there was a temple in our neighborhood. So I was seeing the Kṛṣṇa Deity. Oh, I was thinking many things. I still remember. I was standing for hours together. So in this way, practically we can understand that these facilities are given by the Lord. The Lord is always prepared to give us facility. Simply He wants to see that we are sincere. That's all. There is nice verse in ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'', ''Bhāgavatam'':

:''tyaktvā sva-dharmaṁ caraṇāmbujaṁ harer''
:''bhajann apakvo 'tha patet tato yadi''
:''yatra kva vābhadram abhūd amuṣya kiṁ''
:''ko vārtha āpto 'bhajatāṁ sva-dharmataḥ''
:([[SB 1.5.17]])

''Bhajatāṁ sva-dharmataḥ''. ''Abhajatāṁ sva-dharmataḥ''. Yes. The purport of this verse is that ''tyaktvā sva-dharmam''.'' Sva-dharmam'' means every particular person has got his prescribed duty of life, every particular person. Whatever he may be, in whatever country or whatever society, everyone has got his some designated duty, that "You have to do this." Now here it is said that if he gives up his duty, prescribed duty, and by sentiment, by association or by craziness, or any way, he takes surrender unto Kṛṣṇa . . . people may say: "Oh, these people are crazy." All right, even crazy, some way or other if he takes shelter unto Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead—when I say Kṛṣṇa, that means God—then what happens?

''Tyaktvā sva-dharmaṁ caraṇāmbujaṁ hareḥ''. By sentiment or advise, any reason . . . there may be many reasons, if one takes shelter of Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Lord. But ''bhajana'', while he was worshiping or prosecuting spiritual rules and regulation, ''apakva'', he does not become mature, but somehow or other falls down, ''tyaktvā sva-dharmaṁ caraṇāmbujaṁ harer bhajann'' ([[SB 1.5.17]]). ''Bhajana'' means worshiping; ''apakva'', immature and falls down.

So Nārada says in this ''Bhāgavata, tatra ko vā and abhadram abhūd amuṣya kim'': "So what is there inauspicious for him there? Suppose he has fallen down. There is no inauspicity. But a person who does not approach God, but regularly makes his duties perfectly, what does he get? What does he get, religious? He does not get any benefit of his life. But a person, even he falls down, because he has taken shelter of the Supreme Lord, oh, he is better."

So these things are sanctioned by ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'' and ''Bhagavad-gītā'' and all Vedic literature, that there is no harm even one is not able to fulfill his mission properly—half-finished. Still . . . why? Why he is not in loss? The next ''śloka'' says. Now, again Lord says that "Either in a ''brāhmin'' family, very pious family, or in a rich family, ''athavā'', or, ''yoginām eva kule bhavati dhīmatām'' ([[BG 6.42 (1972)|BG 6.42]]), ''yoginām'',

in a family where persons are practiced to the ''yoga'' system . . ." ''Yogināṁ dhīmatām''. ''Yoginām''. ''Yoginām'' means either devotee or meditator or great philosopher—in their family. ''Yoginām eva kule bhavati dhīmatām''. ''Dhīmatām'' means very intelligent. These transcendentalist, either philosopher or meditator or great devotees of the Lord, they are considered the, I mean to say, highest top of the human society, ''dhīmatām''. ''Etad dhi durlabhataraṁ loke janma yad īdṛśam''.

Now, out of the three, either he gets his birth in a ''brāhmin'' family or in a rich family or in a family where people are . . . the members, members are highly advanced in the ''yoga'', so Kṛṣṇa says the third one, third one is to be considered more fortunate, third one, who has got his birth in the family of a ''yogī''. Because one who has got his birth in a rich family, he may be misled. And naturally it so happens. When a man gets riches, silver spoon in mouth, he thinks, "Oh, I have got so much money, my paternal property. Let me enjoy it." Oh. So sometimes he becomes a drunkard, a prostitute hunter, a, I mean to say, rogue. He becomes.

Similarly, in a ''brāhmiṇ'' family also . . . just like we have seen in India, there are many persons who are born in a big, I mean to say, very pious family. But because he has taken his birth in a pious family, he thinks, "I am ''brāhmiṇ''. Oh, what I have to do? I am very pious family." They mistake in that way. So they degrade.

So in the pious family or in the rich family, there is chance of degradation. But one who takes his birth in a family of ''yogī'', devotee, oh, he has got better chance for cultivating the same spiritual culture from which in his past life he had fallen. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says, ''etad dhi durlabhataram''; "This is very rare, that a man gets his birth, a parent, a ''yogī''." This is very rare.

But He recommends, I mean, He eulogizes this sort of family that . . . what is the facility of this family? Now, Lord says, ''tatra taṁ buddhi-saṁyogaṁ labhate paurva-dehikam'' ([[BG 6.43 (1972)|BG 6.43]]): "In his previous birth, in his previous body, whatever he cultured, now he begins to remember." He begins to remember. I may tell you that those who have taken this Society, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, very seriously, they are not ordinary person. They must have had such culture in their previous life. Now they are again trying to revive that thing.

It is said, according to ''Bhagavad-gītā, tatra taṁ buddhi-saṁyogaṁ labhate paurva-dehikam'' ([[BG 6.43 (1972)|BG 6.43]]). Because that asset is there. Suppose I make my bank balance ten thousand millions, or something big, very big balance. Now, as soon as my body is finished, oh, the bank balance is also finished, because the bank balance is not going with me.

That remains in the bank to be enjoyed by somebody else. But the spiritual culture . . . suppose if you have got ten thousand or . . . even ten percent you have done, that goes with you. So there is no loss. Then again you begin from eleven percent. From the eleven point, you begin.

So we should consider that when you get such chance of spiritual cultivation—may be ten percent, five percent, fifty percent—we should know that, "Now we should finish the balance percentage of cultivation. We must finish this life. I shall not take chance of another birth." That should be our determination. ''Paurva-dehikam''. "When I have come to this point, it must be understood that I had some asset in my previous life. So Kṛṣṇa is giving me chance to make further progress.

Now, in my past life I could not finish the job some way or other, but that doesn't matter. Now this life I shall not allow to miss this opportunity." That should be our determination as soon as we begin some spiritual culture. ''Tatra taṁ buddhi-saṁyogaṁ labhate paurva-dehikam''. ''Paurva-dehikam'' means according to the past life he begins, he tries. You gentlemen, boys, who come here—that is an urge from within, that you want. This urge is due to your past, previous spiritual culture. This should be understood if we believe ''Bhagavad-gītā''.

So we should not make any more fall down. We should finish this business in this life so that, according to ''Bhagavad-gītā'', as it is said, ''tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti kaunteya'' ([[BG 4.9 (1972)|BG 4.9]]); "Then, after leaving this body, then he does not take birth again in this material world, where ''janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi'' ([[BG 13.8-12 (1972)|BG 13.9]]): repeated birth and death, diseases, are there, but he comes back to Me, Kṛṣṇa."

''Samāśritā ye pada-pallava-plavaṁ mahat-padaṁ puṇya-yaśo murāreḥ. Mahat-padaṁ puṇya-yaśo murāreḥ''. ''Murāreḥ''. ''Murāri'' means Kṛṣṇa. One who takes shelter under the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, then for him, this place, which is ''padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadāṁ na teṣām'' ([[SB 10.14.58]]): a place wherein every step there is danger . . .

This material world is supposed that every step there is danger. Just see. What we are doing? Innocent, culturing some spiritual process, and there are so many complaints. Just see. We are not stealing. We are not, I mean to say, making propaganda for some political purpose or some . . . nothing. Innocent thing we are doing. But still, somebody comes forward and puts some dangerous position. You see?

So this is such a place. Lord Jesus Christ, his only fault was that he was preaching God's message. He was crucified. You see? So these things are . . . this place is like that. Even if you are innocent, still, you'll be put into danger. Therefore this place should be avoided. Padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadām: "Every step there is danger."

So one who takes this spiritual culture, for them, this place is unfit. Unfit. My Guru Mahārāja used to say that "This place is not fit for any gentleman's living." (chuckles) He was to say like that: "This place is unfit for any gentleman's living." ''So yatate ca tato bhūyaḥ saṁsiddhau kuru-nandana. Kuru-nandana'' ([[BG 6.43 (1972)|BG 6.43]]); "O My dear Arjuna, when he gets such chance to revive his old spiritual culture, automatically he tries for it sincerely." ''Kuru-nandana''. ''Kuru-nandana. Yatate ca tato bhūyaḥ''. How? ''Pūrvābhyāsena tenaiva'' ([[BG 6.44 (1972)|BG 6.44]]).

Because he had his practice in his previous life, therefore it appeals to him." Nothing appeals anything more. He has got a taste from the previous life. So it appeals to him. ''Pūrvābhyāsena tenaiva hriyate hy avaśo 'pi saḥ''. Just like somebody is forcing, "Oh, you take this. You take this." Just like one who is sinful, he is also forced to go to the Bowery Street. You see? Similarly, one who is pious in his life and has begun this spiritual . . . he is forced to cultivate and make progress. Because if God is within you. God is within you. And ''sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭaḥ'' ([[BG 15.15 (1972)|BG 15.15]]).

He is seated in everyone's heart. ''Mattaḥ smṛtir jñānam''. He is . . . He gives reminders: "Yes. You missed this point from here. Now come on. Begin again. Be perfect. Don't lose this chance." He is so kind. ''Smṛtir jñānam''. He is giving knowledge, remembrance. And one who wants to forget God, "Oh, yes, you forget. You come to this, here. Here is your place." He gives us chance in every way. (break) (end)

Prabhupāda: . . . and the cheaters come and cheat them . . . (indistinct) . . . here it is clearly stated:

:''śucau deśe pratiṣṭhāpya''
:''sthiram āsanam ātmanaḥ''
:''nāty-ucchritaṁ nāti-nīcaṁ''
:''cailājina-kuśottaram''

:''tatraikāgraṁ manaḥ kṛtvā''
:''yata-cittendriya-kriyaḥ''
:''upaviśyāsane yuñjyād''
:''yogam ātma-viśuddhaye''
([[BG 6.11-12 (1972)|BG 6.11–12]])

(To practice ''yoga'', one should go to a secluded place and should lay ''kuśa''-grass on the ground and then cover it with a deerskin and a soft cloth. The seat should neither be too high nor too low and should be situated in a sacred place. The ''yogī'' should then sit on it very firmly and should practice ''yoga'' by controlling the mind and the senses, purifying the heart and fixing the mind on one point.)

Supreme. The heart and the soul. ''Yoga'' is meant for that. ''Samaṁ kāya-śiro-grīvaṁ'' ([[BG 6.13-14 (1972)|BG 6.13]]).

That is come on, a straight line. ''Samaṁ kāya-śiro-grīvaṁ'', neck. ''Dhārayann acalaṁ sthiraḥ'': stand still. ''Samprekṣya nāsikāgraṁ svaṁ diśaś cānavalokayan'' ([[BG 6.13-14 (1972)|BG 6.13]]): no, not even seeing any other thing. ''Praśāntātmā vigata-bhīr'': and a happy attitude; without any fear. ''Brahmacāri-vrate sthitaḥ'': con . . . fully celibacy, ''brahmacāri''.

''Vrata'': not by name ''brahmacāri''—by vow. No sex life. ''Brahmacāri-vrate sthitaḥ. Manaḥ saṁyamya mac-citto yukta āsīta mat-paraḥ'' ([[BG 6.13-14 (1972)|BG 6.14]]):

"In this way one should be engaged in meditation, thinking always of Me,"''mat-paraḥ''.

This is ''yoga''. What is he has recommended? He can do whatever he likes. And ''haṭha-yoga ''also, ''aṣṭāṅga-yoga'', according to Kapila Muni, that is also ''yaṁa''. Why? Immediately beginning, ''yaṁ, yaṁ, āsana, dhyāna, dhāraṇā, prāṇāyāma, pratyāhāra'', eh? Then ''samādhi'' . . . (indistinct) . . . this means this man is cheating everyone. This man is cheating; he does not know what is ''yoga''. And because these Western rascals, they want to be cheated, they come and take money, and they think they are ''yogī''. They are not ''yogī''. Give them a challenge: quote these verses from ''Bhagavad-gītā, Bhagavatam''. One cannot manufacture a science out of his own brain.

Śyāmasundara: Is . . . didn’t you, er . . . I heard some quote from ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'' a while ago about . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes. Here, ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'' also. Give me that . . . (indistinct)

Śyāmasundara: "In this age, men will come . . ."

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Gaurasundara: Something about in Kali-yuga, men will . . . men will follow bogus teachers or something?

Prabhupāda: That is Kali-yuga. So . . . (indistinct) . . . is all right.

Govinda dāsī: (laughs)

Prabhupāda: "Let us follow all bogus, and then . . ." Just like the people say, they are testing to do these things. Why do it? Why you are forbidden? They are the symptoms of Kali-yuga. But one has to avoid them.

Śyāmasundara: Huh. Yes.

Prabhupāda: That we are teaching. In the Sixth Canto, first chapter . . .

Śyāmasundara: Which verse?

Prabhupāda: Verse number 12. Verse number 11, 12, 13. Fourteen also. There are so many. How many we have got.

Śyāmasundara: Is there one that mentions the four pillars of sinful activities?

Prabhupāda: Yes. These four pillars of sinful activities: ''yatra pāpaś catur-vidhāḥ'' ([[SB 1.17.38|SB 1.17.38]]).

Śyāmasundara: Which verse is that? There’s one where the king . . . er . . .

Prabhupāda: Hmm. That is First Canto.

Śyāmasundara: Yes . . . (indistinct) . . . (pause)

Govinda dāsī: (''japa'')

Prabhupāda: ''Bhāgavatam'', First Canto, Seventeenth Chapter.

Śyāmasundara: First Canto, Seventeenth Chapter . . .

Prabhupāda: Seventeenth Chapter, thirty-eighth verse.

Śyāmasundara: Thirtieth?

Prabhupāda: Thirty-eight.

Śyāmasundara: Thirty-eight.

Prabhupāda:

:''abhyarthitas tadā tasmai''
:''sthānāni kalaye dadau''
([[SB 1.17.38|SB 1.17.38]])

When he was asked to go out, he said:

:''yatra kva vātha vatsyāmi''
:''sārva-bhauma tavājñayā''
([[SB 1.17.36|SB 1.17.36]])

"You are asking me to go out, so let me know what shall I do, because everything belongs to you. You asked me to go out of your kingdom, but everywhere is still your kingdom. So let me know, where shall I go?"

:''tatra tatrāpi tvām śarāsanam''
:''tan me dharma-bhṛtāṁśreṣṭha''
:''sthānaṁ nirdeṣṭum arhasi''
([[SB 1.17.36|SB 1.17.36–37]])

"If you just designate . . . (indistinct) . . ."

:''yatraiva niyato vatsya''
:''ātiṣṭhaṁs te 'nuśāsanam''
([[SB 1.17.37|SB 1.17.37]])

"I can peacefully live there, abiding by your order."

:''abhyarthitas tadā tasmai''
:''sthānāni kalaye dadau''
([[SB 1.17.38|SB 1.17.38]])

When he was asked by Parīkṣit to get him places, whether ''dyūtaṁ pānaṁ striyaḥ sūnā yatrādharmaś catur-vidhaḥ'' ([[SB 1.17.38|SB 1.17.38]]).

Dyūta: "Where there is gambling, where there is drinking, where there is illicit sex, and where there is animal slaughter—go there."''Yatrādharmaś catur-vidhaḥ''. These four kinds of sinful activities are going on. And this is the whole world. Gambling and drinking, illicit sex and slaughterhouse. The whole Western world especially . . . no, everyone. In India also the same thing—but still less.

Śyāmasundara: Much less.

Prabhupāda: Still less. Still they are ashamed. But here there is no shame—shameless.

Śyāmasundara: Yes.

Prabhupāda:

:''punaś ca yācamānāya''
:''jāta-rūpam adāt prabhuḥ''
:''tato 'nṛtaṁ madaṁ kāmaṁ''
:''rajo vairaṁ ca pañcamam''
([[SB 1.17.39|SB 1.17.39]])

(pause)

Then he asked that, "It is very difficult for me to go to four places. Better give me one place where four things are there." (laughs) So:

:''punaś ca yācamānāya''
:''jāta-rūpam adāt prabhu''

''Catur-vidhaksa api etad ati danum deheti punar jāta-rūpam sauvarṇa''. Then he gave him gold: "You take this gold, and one who possesses gold—all these four things are there."

Śyāmasundara: (laughs) That's the whole key, because Maharishi is after money.

Prabhupāda: That's all.

Śyāmasundara: He can't get money unless he allows those things to go on. That can be the punch line in the whole letter.

Prabhupāda: Yes, yes.

:''amūni pañca sthānāni''
:''hy adharma-prabhavaḥ kaliḥ''
:''auttareyeṇa dattāni''
:''nyavasat tan-nideśa-kṛt''
([[SB 1.17.40|SB 1.17.40]])

So these five kind of sinful places are given by Parīkṣit Mahārāja to Kali.

Śyāmasundara: Hmm.

Prabhupāda: You can quote these ''ślokas''.

Śyāmasundara: Yes . . . (indistinct) . . . make a copy. (indistinct conversation with Govinda dāsī)

Govinda dāsī: You mean Prabhupāda’s?

Śyāmasundara: Yes.

Govinda dāsī: I don't know if I have it here, or if I have it in the . . .

Prabhupāda: Well, you can get—all these ''ślokas''.

Śyāmasundara: Yes.

Pradyumna: They want to get an English translation.

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Śyāmasundara: I want to put it in English also, so people can read it.

Pradyumna: From the first three volumes translation . . .

Prabhupāda: I think I have translated it already.

Śyāmasundara: Yes.

Pradyumna: They want to get the volumes, the three volumes. They don't have it here. Not here. They’ll get it from the temple.

Prabhupāda: It is in the first volume.

Śyāmasundara: Yes. They had it at the temple, so . . .

Prabhupāda: Seventeenth Chapter.

Śyāmasundara: Yes.

Prabhupāda: Seventeenth Chapter means this may be in the third volume.

Pradyumna: Third volume.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Śyāmasundara: Third volume.

Prabhupāda: These are already discussed.

Pradyumna: Śrīla Prabhupāda?

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Pradyumna: In one of those verses in ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam ''. . .

Prabhupāda: So all these GBC members, they must be well expert in explaining; otherwise what is the use of this writing, taking so much labor, books? They should go, preach, understand. And when there is difficulty, I am present. They are already explained. I am taking so much pain in writing books. If you don't read—if you simply make it for sale—then what is the use? Just these all rascals should be challenged vigorously. They are misleading the whole population, and blaspheming the Indian spiritual culture. People are depending so much on this culture for their upliftment, and they are blackmailing for money’s sake. People have to be . . . they want to be cheated, that's all right. But our business is to save them.

Śyāmasundara: I thought you were saying that we shouldn't criticize these people in public.

Prabhupāda: No, no. To criticize means . . . of course, when you are preaching, we have to show the real truth. And that is not criticizing. It is just like if you call a thief a thief. If you point out, "This man is thief," this is not criticizing. If I warn that "Don't mix with Gaurasundara; he is a thief," and suppose he is a thief, is it criticizing? We are saying that "This is the path of ''yoga'' system . . . (indistinct) . . ."

Śyāmasundara: Hmm. Yeah . . . (indistinct) . . . we have to do this.

Prabhupāda: "And this is not." So if we distinguish, "This man is thief and this man is not," then that is not criticism; that is speaking the truth.

Śyāmasundara: Yeah. Our mood should be objective then.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Śyāmasundara: It shouldn't be personal attack.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Now he has mentioned that, so you should point out . . .

Śyāmasundara: Yes.

Prabhupāda: . . . generously, what is actual ''yoga''.

Śyāmasundara: Very objectively: "Here is the right path . . ."

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Śyāmasundara: ". . . as enunciated by the authorities. This is his statement, so that you can see the difference."

Prabhupāda: Anyway, criticize or not criticize, we have to give everything carefully. But our preaching must be to save the people from pitfalls.

Śyāmasundara: Hmm.

Prabhupāda: Acyutānanda has done a great service.

Śyāmasundara: Yes.

Prabhupāda: A great service, in Navadvīpa. And therefore he has been elected as secretary.

Śyāmasundara: Yes.

Prabhupāda: They are appreciating.

Śyāmasundara: Yes.

Prabhupāda: So similarly, we shall preach. It is true that our authorities . . . always reading should be continually going on in our centers. These books, regularly should be discussed and preached: the ideal life of Kṛṣṇa, ideal ''gṛhastha'', householder, what He is doing. Our ''gṛhastha'' is not condemned, but provided he is right ''gṛhastha''. But Kṛṣṇa had sixteen thousand wives. He is lying down there with Kṛṣṇa . . . they are lying down, and who can leave Kṛṣṇa? If one has got Kṛṣṇa . . . they know Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. So they are embracing Kṛṣṇa. How much happy they are? Eh?

Śyāmasundara: Yes. (laughs)

Prabhupāda: But still Kṛṣṇa gets out.

Śyāmasundara: (laughs) As soon as the first cock is crowing.

Prabhupāda: How much devoted, beautiful. They are select . . . spiritual, they are not material. Their bodies are not material bodies. Kṛṣṇa does not embrace a material woman.

Śyāmasundara: Hmm.

Prabhupāda: All these queens are spiritual. All the ''gopīs'', they are spiritual. ''Ānanda-cinmaya-rāsa-pratibhāvitābhis'' (Bs 5.37): and they are all made of ''ānanda-cinmaya-rāsa''.

So He is showing the life of a ''gṛhastha'': early rising, giving in charity to the ''Brāhmiṇs'', and living daily duty. Still, He has got children, getting children married somehow or another. So ''gṛhastha'' life is not bad—never bad. Kṛṣṇa is ''gṛhastha''. Our worshipable Lord is ''gṛhastha''. He’s not ''sannyāsa''. Is it ''sannyāsa''? Why He should be? He is the supreme enjoyer, why He should be ''sannyāsa ''. . . ''sannyāsi''? Enjoyer . . . ''sannyāsī ''is not enjoyer. But His description is enjoyer. Now how enjoyer can be ''sannyāsī''? But He is still ''sannyāsī''—renounced, everything. That is the point.

Śyāmasundara: Hmm.

Prabhupāda: He has got so many enjoyable wives, but still, just at time, renouncing everything. Enjoyer, at the same time renouncer. Renouncement is also opulence.

Śyāmasundara: Hmm.

:''Prabhupāda Aiśvaryasya samagrasya vīryasya yaśasaḥ . . .jñāna-vairāgya''.
(''Viṣṇu Purāṇa'' 6.5.47)

He is enjoying, but He has no attachment for all these things—either for wife or children or this building or anything. At any moment He can give up. The ''gopīs'', in a moment He gave up, went to Mathura. They began to cry and they wanted to stop the chariot, and so many things. He said, "Yes. Don't be agitated. I am coming, I am coming." Like that. And practically He never came back. He left at the age of 15, 16 years old, then He became engaged in fighting, being educated and marrying and becoming king and so on, so on. Once He came, Krsna and Balarama, once, when They had grandchildren. And once He came, Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma met the ''gopīs'' in Kurukṣetra, when they came—maybe I have mentioned already. When the cowherd boys went to see Him at Kurukṣetra battle, when they heard how "Kṛṣṇa, our friend, is fighting," they could see, "Oh?" (laughs) They were village cowherds men. They saw so many kings, so "We cannot enter."

Śyāmasundara: Kurukṣetra . . .

Prabhupāda: They could not forget Kṛṣṇa.

Śyāmasundara: Kurukṣetra is near Delhi somewhere?

Prabhupāda: I . . . you were with me, no? When we were coming back from Amritsar.

Syāmasundara: Yes. I saw . . .

Prabhupāda: I showed you the Kurukṣetra station.

Syāmasundara: Ah! Before Delhi somewhere.

Prabhupāda: Still the station is there. People go for pilgrimage. ''Kuru-kṣetre dharma-kṣetre '' is proof. And they are commentating in that . . . actually, the name, still the name is continuing.

Śyāmasundara: Yeah.

Prabhupāda: The station, actually station, people are going for pilgrimage.

Śyāmasundara: Ah.

Prabhupāda: And they are commentating . . . (indistinct) . . . ''Dharma-kṣetre kuru-kṣetre'' ([[BG 1.1 (1972)|BG 1.1]]).

Śyāmasundara: In Vṛndāvana all the names are the same still—Gokula . . .

Prabhupāda: Yamunā, Govardhana . . .

Śyāmasundara: . . . and Varṣāṇā.

Prabhupāda: Varṣāṇā name is recent.

Śyāmasundara: Ah, Nanda-grāma . .

Prabhupāda: Nanda-grāma is old.

Śyāmasundara: Old.

Prabhupāda: Nanda-grāma is not . . . (indistinct) . . . Vṛndāvana, in the Vṛndāvana area, now they are divided. Rādhārāṇī was also born in Gokula.

Śyāmasundara: Ah. They say She was born . . .

Prabhupāda: No. Maternal, maternal uncle . . .

Śyāmasundara: Her parents lived in Varṣāṇā?

Prabhupāda: Yes. So the spirit of Acyutānanda life is being challenged by these so-called ''avatāras''. He has dragged also Ramakrishna. Explain. Also our Govinda dāsī has done that.

Gaurasundara: Yes, she has done it also. Siddha-svarūpa.

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Gaurasundara: Siddha-svarūpa. Dragged him into our camp.

Govinda dāsī: (laughs) He was dragged. He was holding one very big meeting, and I went with two girls, two ''brahmacāriṇīs'', and read your letter in front of his whole seventy, one hundred people—the letter where you denounced him. And he was hanging his head. And about five days later he joined you, after he got your letter. You know that letter you wrote? Do you remember it?

Prabhupāda: I do not remember. What is the letter?

Govinda dāsī: You wrote a letter . . .

Prabhupāda: I told him, "Let us sing. Let us chant Hare Kṛṣṇa."

Gaurasundara: . . . (indistinct)

Govinda dāsī: You remember? It was a letter saying that "My disciples don't wear long hair, and they follow these regulative principles." You remember?

Prabhupāda: Ah, yes.

Śyāmasundara: You remember? I think you wrote it in Surat.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Govinda dāsī: And so . . . he . . . it was nice. We distributed copies to all of the crowd. And . . . and . . . and . . .

Gaurasundara: What did he say? . . . (indistinct)

Govinda dāsī: No, he didn't say very much. He said: "Let me explain. Let me explain," or something like that. I think he was already thinking of surrendering to you. But the letter did it. Your letter did it. It was the final chop, you know, the final . . .

Gaurasundara: Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa said he had it planned for many months, but there was too much wrong . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: No, they can . . . (indistinct) . . . back. He can join.

Gaurasundara: (aside) You’re leaving at seven?

Prabhupāda: So preaching means read our books; follow this. Reference immediately you should give, reference, where it is. Why you are asking me, when . . . (indistinct) . . .? What I am doing alone, now you have to do twelve times; then it will spread. Then each one takes another twelve. Then there will be no space for these rascals to flourish. We have got our books now. Print and distribute and preach, and bring the sunlight and the cockroaches will go away. (laughs) (laughter) They cannot do any more any infection. In the sunlight there is no insects, no cockroaches. In the darkness there is glowworms. Have you seen glowworms? You have seen? "Oh, there is light? What is that light?"

Govinda dāsī: (laughs)

Prabhupāda: Glowworms. So their light like that. The small . . . (indistinct) . . . glowworms, bring sunlight, then they will automatically go away. ''Kṛṣṇa—sūrya-sama; māyā haya andhakāra'' ([[CC Madhya 22.31|CC Madhya 22.31]]).

What is the English translation?

Gaurasundara: "Kṛṣṇa is sunlight, and ''māyā ''is darkness."

Prabhupāda: That’s all. Bring sunlight, and the darkness will automatically go.

(devotees pay obeisances) (break) (end)

After visiting the temple of Śiyālī-bhairavī [another form of the goddess Durgā], Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, the son of mother Śacī, went to the bank of the river Kāverī.
</div>

==== PURPORT ====

<div class="purport">
Śiyālī-bhairavī is located in the Tanjoreāñ district, about forty-eight miles northeast of Tanjoreāñ City. There is a very much celebrated temple of Lord Śiva there and also a very large lake. It is said that once a small boy who was a devotee of Lord Śiva came to that temple and the goddess Durgā, known as Bhairavī, gave him her breast to suck. After visiting this temple, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu went to the bank of the river Kāverī via the district of Tiruchchirāpalli. The Kāverī is mentioned in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam ([[SB 11.5.38-40|11.5.40]]) as a very pious river.

karma-nindā—condemnation of fruitive activities; karma-tyāga—renunciation of fruitive activities; sarva-śāstre kahe—is announced in every revealed scripture; karma haite—from fruitive activities; prema-bhakti—devotional service in ecstatic love; kṛṣṇe—for Kṛṣṇa; kabhu nahe—can never be achieved.
</div>

==== TRANSLATION ====

<div class="translation">
"In every revealed scripture there is condemnation of fruitive activities. It is advised everywhere to give up engagement in fruitive activities, for by executing them no one can attain the highest goal of life, love of Godhead.
</div>

==== PURPORT ====

<div class="purport">
In the Vedas there are three kāṇḍas, or divisions: karma-kāṇḍa, jñāna-kāṇḍa and upāsanā-kāṇḍa. The karma-kāṇḍa portion stresses the execution of fruitive activities, although ultimately it is advised that one abandon both karma-kāṇḍa and jñāna-kāṇḍa (speculative knowledge) and accept only upāsanā-kāṇḍa, or bhakti-kāṇḍa. One cannot attain love of Godhead by executing karma-kāṇḍa or jñāna-kāṇḍa. But by dedicating one's karma, or fruitive activities, to the Supreme Lord, one may be relieved from the polluted mind, and becoming free from mental pollution helps elevate one to the spiritual platform. Then, however, one needs the association of a pure devotee, for only by a pure devotee's association can one become a pure devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa. When one comes to the stage of pure devotional service, the process of śravaṇaṁ kīrtanam is very essential. By executing the nine items of devotional service, beginning with śravaṇaṁ kīrtanam, one is completely purified. Anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyaṁ jñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam (Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu 1.1.12). Only then is one able to execute Kṛṣṇa's orders in the Bhagavad-gītā ([[BG 18.65 (1972)|18.65-66]]):

:man-manā bhava mad-bhakto
:mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru
:mām evaiṣyasi satyaṁ te
:pratijāne priyo 'si me

:sarva-dharmān parityajya
:mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja
:ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo
:mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ

"Always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me and offer your homage unto Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail. I promise you this because you are My very dear friend. Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear." In this way one develops his original constitutional position of rendering loving service to the Lord.

One cannot be elevated to the highest platform of devotional service by karma-kāṇḍa or jñāna-kāṇḍa. Pure devotional service can be understood and attained only through the association of pure devotees. In this regard, Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura states that there are two types of karma-kāṇḍa activities-pious and impious. Pious activities are certainly better than impious activities, but even pious activities cannot help one achieve ecstatic love of God, Kṛṣṇa. Pious and impious activities bring about material happiness and distress, but there is no possibility of one's becoming a pure devotee simply by acting piously or impiously. Bhakti, devotional service, means satisfying Kṛṣṇa. In every revealed scripture, whether stressing jñāna-kāṇḍa or karma-kāṇḍa, the principle of renunciation is always praised. The ripened fruit of Vedic knowledge, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, is the supreme Vedic evidence. In Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam ([[SB 1.5.12|1.5.12]]) it is said:

:naiṣkarmyam apy acyuta-bhāva-varjitaṁ
:na śobhate jñānam alaṁ nirañjanam
:kutaḥ punaḥ śaśvad abhadram īśvare
:na cārpitaṁ karma yad apy akāraṇam

"Knowledge of self-realization, even though free from all material affinity, does not look well if devoid of a conception of the Infallible [God]. What, then, is the use of fruitive activities, which are naturally painful from the very beginning and transient by nature, if they are not utilized for the devotional service of the Lord?" This means that even knowledge, which is superior to fruitive activity, is not successful if it is devoid of devotional service. Therefore in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam-in the beginning, middle and end-karma-kāṇḍa and jñāna-kāṇḍa are condemned. For example, in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.1.2 it is said: dharmaḥ projjhita-kaitavo 'tra.

This is explained in the following verses taken from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam ([[SB 11.11.29-32|11.11.32]]) and the Bhagavad-gītā ([[BG 18.66 (1972)|18.66]]).
