11:33Translation and purport. by His Divine
11:36Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila
11:38Prabhupada ki
11:43Lord Rsabhadeva told his sons, "My dear
11:46boys,
11:50of all the living entities who have
11:52accepted material bodies in this world,
11:58one who has been awarded this human form
12:03should not work hard day and night
12:08simply
12:10for sense gratification,
12:14which is available even for dogs and
12:17hogs that eat stool.
12:22One should engage in penance and
12:24austerity to attain the divine position
12:27of devotional service.
12:31By such activities,
12:35one's heart is purified.
12:39And when one attains this position, he
12:42attains eternal
12:45blissful life,
12:48which is transcendental to material
12:50happiness,
12:52and which continues
12:55forever.
12:59Lord Rsabhadeva Bhagavan ki jaya.
13:07So Prabhupada gave lecture on this
13:10verse.
13:17And
13:23Mhm.
13:24I just I learned this sloka just by
13:25listening to Prabhupada lecture.
13:28Repeating it from this from his class.
13:31Nice.
13:35So,
13:36as the sadhus said,
13:40"Naham deha."
13:50This body is not for sense
13:53gratification.
13:56This material body.
13:59It is not for sense gratification.
14:02"Naham deha."
14:14We should not use this body for sense
14:16gratification.
14:20That is an instruction from the sadhus.
14:27In looking at this world, it is
14:29sufficient for all of us to understand
14:31why we are suffering.
14:36Yeah?
14:38Because we are using the body for
14:41sense gratification, which is not
14:43authorized in the scripture.
14:51Sense gratification not approved.
14:56So, doing it against the principle
15:00of
15:01human civilization.
15:06So, Prabhupada said,
15:09"All of us should know why we are
15:11suffering. We should know why we are
15:13suffering. All of us."
15:17Why we are suffering?
15:19Deviation.
15:23We are suffering because of
15:26deviation, deviant.
15:29Deviant citizens are punished
15:34by the
15:36responsible government.
15:40Only if the government is responsible
15:44that rogues will flourish.
15:50Rogues are flourishing because no
15:53government.
15:55Parikshit Maharaj is not here.
15:59If he's Parikshit Maharaj is here
16:02Kali cannot
16:04exist.
16:10When Maharaj Yudhisthira were ruling,
16:12rain doesn't fall in the daytime. Now,
16:14rain is falling.
16:16This is inauspicious.
16:22I say
16:24dangerous government.
16:27Rain falls in the daytime.
16:30It is inauspicious. Rain falls only in
16:34the night and sufficient for
16:39fertilizing the soil for agriculture.
16:42In the daytime, the rain will stop.
16:47When there is government
16:51There's no government now.
16:54King Vena is on the post.
16:59Yudhishthira Maharaj is not the
17:00Parikshit Maharaj is not there.
17:03So, we see this.
17:06That we are misusing the body.
17:20What do you mean?
17:25We are misusing the body.
17:31Right from the beginning, now I am the
17:33heart. This body should not be for sense
17:37gratification.
17:38This body had been given for a
17:41particular service.
17:44Particular duty.
17:47What is that?
17:48The poor debutante.
17:54Human form of life is for
17:56posterity, not for sense gratification.
18:08So,
18:13he's speaking to his
18:15100 sons.
18:18He's about to retire.
18:22So, he's handing over.
18:26To hand over
18:28one must hand over to responsible
18:30children.
18:33So, he want to hand over everything to
18:35his children, so it is his duty to train
18:39them properly.
18:42So, they will be
18:43good representatives.
18:46So, we will serve David's teaching.
18:49Now, the instruction is for all of us.
18:53Not for only 100 people, it is for
18:56everyone.
18:57For those of us who have material body,
19:00especially the human form of life.
19:05He very intelligently said, "Why? Why?
19:08Why did he say? Why? Why you not food?
19:14Pastime common are headed with the puja.
19:20Big puja.
19:28The big puja.
19:33Today by their sense gratification.
19:38Huh?
19:39They buy.
19:43We We work very hard for our sense
19:45gratification. Do the animals do they
19:46work like that for their sense
19:48gratification?
19:53Animals, do they have to go to school?
19:57To learn how to cook nicely?
20:01Is it not expensive to have a kitchen?
20:03Is it expensive?
20:05Expensive. Animals, do they do like
20:06this?
20:08Huh?
20:15Animals, do they have to build expensive
20:17house for their wives?
20:19Huh?
20:20Animals.
20:22They build house like this for their
20:23wives.
20:27Is it easy to build house like this?
20:30Is it easy?
20:33Animals, do they do these things?
20:36They go to university to learn how to
20:38construct a house.
20:41So, Lord Śiva Dev said, "Sense
20:43gratification is already there,
20:47available, sufficient
20:50for
20:51animals."
20:53So, if human beings are also concerned
20:55about sense gratification, what is the
20:57difference?
21:03Kama upabhoga parama
21:05I thought a guitar.
21:09When
21:10human beings are considering since
21:13gratification to be the
21:16upper buga parama parama upper buga.
21:19Since gratification is supreme, is a
21:22deity worship.
21:28For those who are on this platform,
21:32they will acquire this thing through
21:35illegal means. Do you know that?
21:38In India, there is black market.
21:40Right? In Africa, black market. Black
21:43market means what? What is black market?
21:48Hm?
21:49Illegal.
21:52Is illegal.
21:55Hm?
21:57Black market is
22:00very common.
22:03Why black market?
22:08Proper said, "Such that so did."
22:13Our heart is dirty.
22:17Since gratification make the heart
22:18ready?
22:19Dirty. Dirty. So he said, "Why it has to
22:22be purified?" Because it is dirty.
22:27The dirty things have to be washed. They
22:29need to be clean.
22:35What is making the heart dirty?
22:44Immeasurable anxiety
22:46for since gratification.
22:49Make the heart very dirty.
22:51Very dirty. They need
22:54purification. Not to be clean.
23:04What is not authorized? It is what all
23:08conditions will worship in this world.
23:10So, receptive is said, "My dear boys,
23:12you should not
23:15You should not join these people.
23:18Don't.
23:20Use this body for what it's meant for.
23:24What is that? The body don't put the
23:26car. The body beyond. You should perform
23:29austerity. What kind of austerity?
23:31Transcendental austerity. And Prabhupada
23:33said, "Not like Hiranyakashipu. He
23:35performed austerity. But what is the
23:37result of austerity? To tease his own
23:39son."
23:45Why he performed austerity?
23:48Want to kill Lord Brahma and Lord
23:52Want to kill Lord Brahma.
23:54Want to kill Lord Vishnu.
23:57So, he will become
24:00immortal. Just look at that ignorance.
24:04Huh?
24:07If you have not been immortal, how can
24:09you become immortal?
24:12How?
24:15How How are you going to make it?
24:20We are practicing to become pure
24:22devotees because the soul has been pure
24:24before. They're naturally pure.
24:27But now it's covered with some Huh?
24:30Sanctification.
24:31So, it can be cleaned again.
24:34But none of us have been Krishna before.
24:36So, you can never be Krishna at any
24:38time.
24:41Even when you go back to Godhead, we
24:42will still remain
24:44jiva.
24:48That is our eternal position. So, the
24:50word is
24:51constitutional position, constituted.
24:55We are constitutedly
24:57Huh? Fragmental parts of Krishna. That
25:00is our eternal position. And Krishna's
25:02eternal position is that he is
25:05Isa.
25:12He rule eternally as the supreme, not
25:15sometimes. He rule eternally as the
25:17supreme Isa.
25:23You say Isa by Isa.
25:26Yes.
25:31That is the Krishna's position.
25:40Why is sense gratification? But why? Why
25:43is sense gratification?
25:45Because we want to be happy.
25:50You want to be happy.
25:53A conditioned will means we don't know
25:56what is happiness.
26:00We don't know how to get it.
26:04So what is sad they be showing all the
26:06way.
26:08Sad just so they just mad. Brahma so
26:10came to and on time.
26:13When penance is austerity are performed
26:16for Krishna pretty
26:19Bogatty Agatty Krishna pretty
26:22when we do we Bogatty Agatty when we
26:24perform austerity by giving up sense
26:26gratification to please Krishna Krishna
26:28pretty
26:29then
26:30Brahma so came to and on time. We will
26:34be promoted to enter into eternal
26:38imperishable
26:40joy and enjoyment.
26:43It is through austerity, not by sense
26:46gratification. By sense gratification
26:48one can never become happy. It is not
26:51possible.
26:53Huh?
26:56Of all the living Of all the living
26:58entities,
27:00which species the most busiest?
27:04Which species? Huh?
27:06Ants are the busiest of all the species.
27:10Ants.
27:15They don't have eyelid.
27:19Means they don't sleep.
27:23No sleeping means
27:26working continuously.
27:29But uh
27:31What are they working 24 hours for?
27:34Huh?
27:35Crumbs of uh
27:38sugar.
27:40Or maybe
27:42treasure on the ground. That is what
27:44they're working 24 hours for.
27:47So, when we look at the ant, what do we
27:50think? What do we think? When we look at
27:51the ant like this,
27:54what do you think about them?
27:57Look at this useless, unfortunate
28:00entity. What about us?
28:06What about us?
28:08They are struggling in the small way,
28:11but we are struggling in a bigger way.
28:13So, we are more foolish than the ant.
28:19There's no the way to be happy. The way
28:21to be happy is to purify the senses.
28:26Is it not?
28:28Purify the senses.
28:30Nobody has ever become satisfied through
28:33sense gratification.
28:37Otherwise,
28:38if it is possible,
28:40Yayati Maharaja would have been the
28:42first-class, number one devotee.
28:44Is it not?
28:45Yayati Maharaja. He traded his old age
28:49for
28:50the youth and he tried. He tried to
28:53squeeze it.
28:55Did he succeed?
28:57At the end, what did he say?
29:00He said, "Big mistake I made."
29:02Okay, take back your things.
29:05Tired of this thing.
29:08So, he didn't succeed.
29:10Which of us would do it?
29:15Which of us would do it?
29:18Hm?
29:21That is not the way.
29:23So, Prabhupada is saying in the purport,
29:26"In this verse,
29:29uh
29:29Lord Rishabhdev tells his sons about the
29:32importance of human life.
29:36The word deha refers
29:39refers to anyone who accepts a material
29:42body.
29:43But,
29:48the living entity who is awarded a human
29:50form must act differently from animals.
29:57Animals like dogs and hogs enjoy sense
30:01gratification by eating stool.
30:06After undergoing sense severe hardship
30:10all day,
30:13human beings are trying to enjoy
30:15themselves at night by eating,
30:20drinking,
30:22having sex, and sleeping.
30:29These four basic activities that all
30:31living entities say Is any entity that
30:33not doing this?
30:35Is any any species of life that not
30:37doing these four activities?
30:39All species of life are doing this,
30:41right?
30:42So, what is so special? You are doing
30:44I'm doing. What is so special?
30:47One is considered a hero when you would
30:51do something which nobody else can do.
30:54Then you are singled out as a hero.
31:01You don't?
31:04So, what makes us different from the
31:06animals?
31:10They are not cooking their meat and
31:11cooking my own meat with a lot of
31:14spices.
31:17Is that the difference?
31:20You don't?
31:21They They are not cooking. So, they are
31:23not civilized. So, they are not cooking.
31:25I am very civilized. I'm cooking with a
31:26lot of spices with a spoon and fork.
31:31And then?
31:33And then what?
31:35Eating and
31:37hospital.
31:40Animals, they will go to hospital?
31:43Who is civilized?
31:45Animals.
31:53The one who is eating sophisticated some
31:56scientific and go to hospital or the one
31:59who is eating in uncivilized manner and
32:01doesn't go to hospital? Which one is
32:03civilized?
32:08The animals have been better.
32:11So,
32:12let us not compete with the animals,
32:14please. Let us not compete with the
32:17animals. Let us live a human life.
32:22Let us live like human beings.
32:27Don't eat and go and die in the
32:28hospital.
32:32Mhm?
32:35Animals, when they get sick, they go to
32:37the fields and eat grass naturally. They
32:40don't pay for
32:43for tablets.
32:45Right?
32:47Antibiotic very expensive.
32:50It will not cure the disease, but it
32:52will create more disease for you.
33:01Many many many people, including
33:03devotees,
33:06they are suffering from the disease.
33:09They took to the hospital.
33:21He went to the hospital and having
33:25heart problem. The operation he did in
33:27Canada many years ago.
33:31But the problem he's suffering right
33:33now.
33:34In the hospital.
33:37In the hospital.
33:39Yes.
33:42When my godbrother also he went to the
33:43hospital, they gave him a wrong blood.
33:46He having heart problem now.
33:49From the hospital.
33:52He got this.
33:56Few months ago one of my disciples went
33:58to in America, not even in Africa, in
34:00America, not in India, in America.
34:03He is almost died because they gave him
34:05a wrong medicine.
34:07Has he gone and complained? Oh, we are
34:09sorry. Give him medicine. Sorry.
34:13I was paid. He paid the money.
34:16Do not free.
34:19Heavy amount of money is paid
34:23to be put into a different situation.
34:29And we are not listening. The Vedas have
34:31already mentioned that in Kali Yuga,
34:33medicine would not work. We're still
34:35going to hospitals.
34:38The medicine is saving the other
34:40diseases.
34:42That's what the scriptures said.
34:45We're not seeing it every day.
34:50Not happening?
34:51Medicine is saving Kali Yuga, they are
34:54themselves diseased.
34:58We are paying money to go and get a
35:00disease from the hospital.
35:01After eating scientifically.
35:05But don't civilized eat and never go to
35:07the hospital to get him
35:09a medicine that will create increase the
35:11problem.
35:17Why competing with animals?
35:20It is not civilization, it is
35:22contamination.
35:26At the same time, they have to properly
35:30defend themselves. However, this is not
35:33human civilization.
35:35Human life means voluntarily
35:38practicing suffering for the advancement
35:42of spiritual life. Do you understand?
35:45Human life means
35:47voluntarily
35:48practicing suffering for the advancement
35:53of spiritual life. It's austerity.
35:55It's austerity.
35:57Austerity is different from starvation.
36:00Starvation means there is nothing There
36:03is nothing. Austerity means what is
36:07There are so many all the varieties of
36:09seeing the person accessory for
36:12signification. They're all available,
36:14but when willingly
36:17with proper understanding
36:19just keep them aside.
36:23It's austerity.
36:30I visited those
36:32those days and I was doing heavy
36:33austerity. So,
36:36I visited
36:37one one temple.
36:39And uh
36:41a good brother brought prasada.
36:44And he kept on the table. So, we are
36:46talking.
36:48I said, "Prabhu,
36:50you should take prasada." I said, "Oh,
36:52the time for my prasada has passed.
36:56So, I will not take it. The time has
36:59passed for my eating for today."
37:02So,
37:05he was looking at me
37:07and he was uncovering the plate
37:09gradually.
37:11He was opening the plate gradually. He
37:13was looking at me.
37:14He's not looking at the food. He's
37:15looking into it.
37:18He's he's showing me, "Look at what you
37:21are
37:22because you didn't see the quality of
37:23the prasada. That's why you are talking
37:25of your austerity. Just see it first.
37:27Look.
37:28When you see it, then I'll see whether
37:30you
37:34So, I was laughing at him. He was also
37:36laughing at me.
37:38First,
37:39we understood each other. He was
37:40laughing. I was laughing.
37:42So, I said, "Prabhu,
37:44see, you didn't ask me to do what I'm
37:47doing. Cover your prasada and you take
37:50it yourself.
37:51I'm not going to eat. Thank you. The
37:53prasada is very nice, but thank you. I'm
37:55not going to eat."
37:57It's not because
37:59it's not good. It is because I have
38:01decided not to eat. It's austerity,
38:05not starvation.
38:07Austerity is different.
38:09One knows the result
38:12of austerity. I'm doing this. Hm? Bhoga
38:16tyaga Krishna pritiye.
38:19I am making this sacrifice to please
38:21Krishna, so that I'll become
38:24a better devotee. That's what austerity
38:26is.
38:28You give Krishna satisfaction. Hm?
38:31It give Krishna satisfaction.
38:34So, it is mentioned
38:35divine austerity.
38:38Not austerity which torture the body
38:41unnecessarily.
38:42Huh?
38:43For for getting power to con- to become
38:47the
38:48the controller of the world. That is not
38:50austerity.
38:52That is suffering.
38:54And look at Hiranyakashipu.
38:57Look very carefully.
38:59Did you see?
39:00In the in in the Bhagwatam, did you see
39:02what happened to Hiranyakashipu?
39:05Huh?
39:06What did you see?
39:08He did not enjoy the result of the
39:11austerity he performed.
39:13The the the result of austerity he
39:15performed, he didn't enjoy it. It was
39:17given to his son who didn't perform
39:19austerity. Prahlada Maharaj.
39:23So, you labor for nothing.
39:27Just to be killed.
39:29And Prahlada said, "My dear Lord, I
39:31don't want all these. I've seen a lot of
39:33experience with my father. He has
39:35everything to the top quality, but he's
39:37miserable, always frustrated, anxiety,
39:40never satisfied. I don't want to be like
39:42him. Just give me simple position."
39:45As soon as he finished his prayer,
39:47Narasimha Dev said, "Take everything."
39:53And you
39:54take it. Take it.
39:57It's for you.
39:59Your father suffered to get it for you.
40:02As a demon, he didn't enjoy it.
40:04As a devotee, he should enjoy this.
40:08Hm? Devotees should enjoy, not to
40:11suffer.
40:14Because suffering is not nature.
40:19Enjoyment is nature. Suffering is not
40:22nature. It is punishment. It is karma.
40:25It's karma. Suffering is karma, not
40:28enjoy not pleasure.
40:31So devotee should
40:33enjoy
40:34not to suffer.
40:36So let us try to understand what is
40:39austerity.
40:41So we can
40:43Mhm?
40:44make up our mind to do it. Mhm?
40:48So it shouldn't be
40:50a struggle for Nirjala Ekadasi. Nirjala
40:52Ekadasi shouldn't be a struggle.
40:54You can embrace it happily.
40:56When is Nirjala Ekadasi coming?
40:59Can you hear that? Yes.
41:01That is if you're making advancement,
41:03you'll be thinking like that.
41:05If you're not making advancement, when
41:07you see Ekadasi you'll be like, "Again?
41:11I thought it I thought it was Ekadasi
41:12tomorrow.
41:13Huh? Is Are you sure it's today?
41:15Yeah, it's today.
41:20Advancement
41:22Mhm?
41:23You should make it sweet.
41:26When we know the result.
41:28Yes.
41:35There is of course suffering in the
41:38lives of animals and plants, which are
41:40suffering due to their past misdeeds.
41:44Karma.
41:45However,
41:46human beings should be voluntarily
41:48should voluntarily accept suffering in
41:51the form of austerities and penances
41:55in order to attain the divine life.
41:58Divine. Austerities should give us
42:01divine life.
42:04Divine. Sweet life. Perfect life.
42:08That's why we should do austerity. To
42:10get purified to attain
42:13this divinity, the state of divinity.
42:16Where everything will be auspicious.
42:20Not only for the person who perform
42:22austerity, for whoever is around him
42:25become
42:26Mhm?
42:27recipient of that divinity.
42:31Yes. You see, pure devotee, they make
42:34sacrifice for others.
42:38A devotee should be
42:40like a tree. Why? The tree is standing
42:44for the welfare of other living
42:46entities, not himself. That is a
42:48devotee.
42:51As a devotee.
42:53A devotee perform austerity for others
42:55to enjoy.
42:57That's devotee life.
42:59After attaining the divine life,
43:02one can enjoy happiness eternally, not
43:06not this sinful life.
43:10Not this sinful life. Sinful life cannot
43:12bring eternal happiness.
43:15Only at the stage of purification,
43:17divinity.
43:19After all, every living entity is trying
43:21to enjoy happiness, but
43:24as long as one is encased in the
43:27material body, he has to suffer
43:29different kinds of misery.
43:33A higher sense is present in the human
43:36form.
43:38We should act according to superior
43:40advice in order to attain eternal
43:43happiness and go back to godhead.
43:47Means what? Let us follow the
43:50instruction receptive is given to us.
43:53Let us obey it. We should carry this
43:56instruction on our head.
43:59Means to execute it.
44:02Should be fighting by courtesy.
44:04Should be happy.
44:07Should be happy.
44:09This is chance for me
44:11to transcend.
44:13What?
44:15We will please Krishna the most when we
44:16are pure. Our services will give Krishna
44:19pleasure. And when we give Krishna
44:21pleasure, we are going to get back what
44:23we are offering to Krishna.
44:25You get it back. But that is not
44:27possible
44:29the contaminated condition stage. Not
44:31possible. We can't please Krishna in
44:34this this way because it is
44:36contamination.
44:39Divinity will please Krishna. Everything
44:42is meant
44:43is meant for Krishna pleasure.
44:46For Krishna pleasure. Krishna's
44:48pleasure.
44:49For Krishna satisfaction. The devotee
44:53will never do anything
44:56if it is not
44:58please Krishna.
45:00The qualification for devotee to do
45:02something is that
45:04this will please Krishna. That's the
45:06only qualification for devotee to act.
45:09Anything.
45:11So devotee is very careful to look at
45:13these activities.
45:15Will this please Krishna? Will this give
45:17Krishna pleasure? If the answer is yes,
45:19do it. If the answer is no, please
45:23don't do it. This is the instruction
45:25from the sastra.
45:31It is significant in this verse that the
45:34government and the natural guardian
45:37the father
45:39should educate subordinate and raise
45:41them to Krishna consciousness.
45:46Now it is not happening.
45:49The parent are not training the
45:50children.
45:54Yes.
45:56The children are not trained. First of
45:58all, the the parent are not getting
46:02mmh wonderful souls to come to us.
46:08If you have King Vena as a child, what
46:10instruction will you give to him?
46:12To change King Vena.
46:15Huh?
46:17What is social
46:20If you get King Vena as a son, what
46:21instruction will you give that will
46:22change him?
46:24Huh? Who's going to change him? You can
46:26send like people over.
46:31To get son like Prthu Maharaj
46:35the poor divyan.
46:39If you want to get
46:41Yes, there's a process.
46:43The process to fall down, the process to
46:45rise up.
46:46Both paths are there.
46:48Depending on which one you want to take.
46:51The choices are hard. But should be
46:52careful that any path we get, we're
46:55going to get the results.
46:57Any path we follow, we'll get the
46:58result. We should be ready for the
47:00result.
47:02Mmh? Should ready for the result.
47:04Don't complain.
47:08Because
47:11what we're getting is the result of what
47:13we have planted.
47:15So get.
47:17So should be ready for the results.
47:21Train our children in Krishna
47:23consciousness right from the beginning
47:25according to Prthu Maharaj from this
47:26child home. Right from this child.
47:33The void of Krishna consciousness
47:35every living being suffers in this cycle
47:39of birth and death perpetually.
47:42To relieve them from this bondage and
47:44enable them to become blissful and
47:47happy, bhakti yoga should be taught.
47:52A foolish civilization neglect to teach
47:55people
47:56how to rise to the platform of bhakti
47:59yoga.
48:01Without Krishna consciousness, a person
48:04is no better than a hog or a dog.
48:10The instructions of the sadhu dev are
48:13very essential at the present moment at
48:16all times.
48:19At all times, the instructions are
48:25very, very important.
48:28At all times.
48:31Mhm? They're essential.
48:34People are being educated and trained to
48:36work very hard for sense gratification.
48:40And there is no sublime aim in life.
48:45A man travels to earn his livelihood,
48:49leaving home early in the morning,
48:52catching a local train, and being packed
48:55in a compartment.
48:57He has to stand for an hour or two in
49:00order to reach his place of business.
49:04Then, again,
49:06he takes a bus to get to the office. At
49:09the office, he works hard from 9:00 to
49:135:00.
49:159:00 it is
49:18to 11:00 p.m.
49:21Isn't it?
49:23What time do you close?
49:2711:00.
49:33Can you imagine that? Do you think your
49:35son will recognize you? Your son will
49:36not recognize you. This is my father.
49:39When you see the child in the night, not
49:41in the daytime.
49:43The whole The whole daytime, the father
49:44is in office.
49:47He come back in the night.
49:50It happened like that in Nigeria.
49:52It The company I was working.
49:56So,
49:57this man like this, he he leaves home
49:59very early.
50:01And he comes back very late. The child
50:04is already sleeping when he comes.
50:08So,
50:10when the man he got a leave, he was on
50:13leave, and he didn't go to the office.
50:16So, in the morning,
50:18wanted to take the child. THE BABY
50:19CRIED.
50:21MOMMY, MOMMY, MOMMY.
50:23THE MOTHER RUSHED, "What's happening?"
50:27"Who is that?" "I don't know this man."
50:30"I don't know him."
50:31The man was shocked.
50:34My child doesn't know me.
50:36He resigned from the office.
50:39The man resigned.
50:43That is few years ago when sanity is
50:45still there. Today, I think that will
50:46make any any meaning today. It didn't
50:49make any meaning.
50:50After all,
50:53the wife is working,
50:55the husband is working,
50:57and the baby is with a
51:00a nurse.
51:01Right?
51:03The child will have affection for who?
51:08No one.
51:14The person who had been with the child
51:16all along.
51:19If I told you to go to have affection,
51:20should be with the person who have been
51:22there that have been all along. When
51:23they be okay.
51:26Whatever. They stay to take care.
51:28Feeling they to take care.
51:31We are
51:33introducing
51:34a very dangerous culture.
51:37Very dangerous culture. My property is
51:40saying bhakti-yoga culture should be
51:43established.
51:45And he established it. He wants to
51:47maintain it. If you don't with our
51:50Christian conscious the person
51:52is not better than a whole a dog.
51:56Therefore, the instructions of the
51:58servant are very essential at the
52:00present moment. The present moment where
52:03everything is according to the purpose
52:06word. Topsy-turvy.
52:09Topsy-turvy.
52:12Topsy-turvy means what?
52:15Yes, upside down.
52:18This is not human life.
52:22This is human life.
52:25We already creating hell before we go to
52:27the real hell. We already creating hell
52:29in this life.
52:31We are already in the hell.
52:34So, what would happen to that one there?
52:37It would dangerous.
52:41People are being educated and trained to
52:43work very hard.
52:46Yeah.
52:48Yes.
52:55Then again, he takes a bus to get to the
52:57office. At the office, he works hard
52:59from 9:00 to 5:00. Then he takes two or
53:03three hours to return home.
53:06After eating, he has sex and goes to
53:09sleep.
53:10For all this hardship,
53:13his only business is a little sex.
53:17And this day, the sex is not even sweet
53:20because the fear of AIDS is there.
53:24You know?
53:25The fear of diseases is also there.
53:29Mhm.
53:30Janma to na dig hamedi so come here to
53:35chant.
53:38The servant clearly stated that human
53:40life is not meant for this kind of
53:43existence, which is enjoyed even by dogs
53:46and hogs.
53:48Indeed,
53:50dogs and hogs do not have to work so
53:52hard for sex.
53:56Human beings should try to live a
53:58different way and should not try to
54:01imitate dogs and hogs.
54:05The alternative is mentioned.
54:09Human life is meant for tapasya,
54:11austerity, and penance.
54:14By tapasya, one can get out of material
54:17clutches.
54:19When one is situated in Krishna
54:21consciousness, devotional service, his
54:23happiness is guaranteed eternally.
54:27Brahma so jump to ananda.
54:30Brahma so
54:31By taking to bhakti yoga, devotional
54:33service,
54:35one's existence is purified.
54:38The living entity is seeking happiness
54:40life after life, but
54:43he can make
54:45a solution
54:48to all these problems simply by
54:50practicing bhakti yoga.
54:53Then,
54:54he immediately becomes eligible to
54:56return home back to godhead.
54:59As confirmed in Bhagavad Gita
55:014.9
55:03Janma karma ca me divyam evam yo vetti
55:07tattvatah
55:08tyaktva deham punar janma naiti mam eti
55:12so 'rjuna.
55:14One who knows the transcendental nature
55:17of my appearance and activities
55:20does not,
55:22upon leaving the body,
55:24take his birth again in this material
55:27world,
55:28but
55:29attains my eternal abode,
55:33O Arjuna.
55:36Hare Krishna. Hare
55:44And then
55:46Yes, go ahead and pray.
55:51Go ahead and pray.
55:52Yes, what is that comment? Excuse me.
55:55The golden lady here when you are eating
55:58like how we are
56:01accepting
56:04something
56:05But
56:06I see like while doing austerity it so
56:08happened that uh
56:11uh
56:12because of accepting too much suffering
56:14it happened that our original kriya this
56:17is the main That is a mistake.
56:21There is a mistake.
56:22The mind has convinced you you're making
56:25too much
56:27austerity.
56:29How is it too much? Like Hiranyakashipu?
56:33Is it like Hiranyakashipu?
56:35Um
56:36not that extreme. So how is it How is it
56:38too much?
56:40That is a problem. The mind has already
56:42convinced you that oh
56:44ah this is too much. If you do this you
56:46will die. Don't do this.
56:49This is not recommended by Prabhupada.
56:55That is a problem.
56:58Lord Shiva there is foolish.
57:02He's wasting his time.
57:04Prabhupada who is speaking this is
57:05foolish. He doesn't know.
57:08People do too much.
57:11What is too much? He's standing on one
57:13leg.
57:15Huh?
57:17For one year?
57:21What is too much?
57:25Like too much things like
57:28when we reduce eating
57:30like
57:33too much
57:35So that may not be now, but in the
57:37future it may affect our health. In that
57:39My friend,
57:41this be before you took this body, I've
57:43been torturing this body. I've been
57:45doing certain this body. Before you I
57:47saved this body.
57:49You are stronger than me physically, not
57:51spiritually. Physically, you're stronger
57:53than
57:56I don't want philosophy. That was a
57:58philosophy thing.
58:00I stronger than you?
58:03You guys I compared to running night,
58:04you can Can we Can we go outside and do
58:06running?
58:07What do you think?
58:10See, this is a practical thing.
58:14Laziness.
58:17It's laziness.
58:20Laziness.
58:23Huh? We don't learn. We don't learn.
58:26One day that secular liberated body. Oh,
58:30when you tell who is speaking.
58:33What?
58:34This Oh, if I had known.
58:39I didn't This how he does it talking?
58:41This how he does?
58:42Oh.
58:46Why you didn't tell us these things
58:48before?
58:51I would have worship him.
58:55This is what we do always.
58:58When somebody leaves then he becomes a
58:59pure devotee. When he is living what is
59:01not a pure devotee.
59:03Just see.
59:06You understand?
59:07When the person is here, he is not a
59:09pure devotee.
59:11He is an object of criticism.
59:13Why you do like that? Why you do like
59:15this? Why you like this? Huh?
59:17When he leave the body, oh, he is a pure
59:20devotee. I was like this, I was like
59:22that. I know him for 25 25 30 years 100
59:26years. He is this, is that.
59:29So, is death that makes someone pure?
59:33When somebody die, immediately become a
59:34pure devotee
59:35by death?
59:39Hm? We don't see. We don't see what is
59:42happening.
59:46When I reduce my eating, ah,
59:49I'm going to be sick tomorrow. Yes, yes,
59:51yes.
59:52The man have told you be sick, you'll be
59:54sick.
59:55Because the man have convinced you
59:57to be sick.
59:59Hm? Oh, doctor
1:00:03Hm.
1:00:08You're not eating grains for 2 days.
1:00:13No grains.
1:00:15But he forgot he's talking to a person
1:00:16who have not eaten grain for 1 year.
1:00:20You understand?
1:00:23You are not eating for 2 days,
1:00:25he's going to die.
1:00:27But he reporting himself to a person who
1:00:28have not eaten for a year, who is not
1:00:30dead yet.
1:00:32We don't see that.
1:00:35This is a problem.
1:00:38Let us be wise. Hm? Let us be wise.
1:00:43And see what is happening. A Christian
1:00:45has made a perfect arrangement
1:00:49for all all that we need to become
1:00:52successful in Christian consciousness.
1:00:54Christian has made all of them available
1:00:56right here, right here.
1:00:59But
1:01:01we need fortune to see it, uh, accept
1:01:04it, and apply it, and become successful.
1:01:10Make sense? It's mind trick. It's mind
1:01:13trick.
1:01:14Yes.
1:01:16Yes.
1:01:17The mind is deceiving us a lot.
1:01:21The mind.
1:01:23Last question before you go.
1:01:25Last one.
1:01:28This is nice. Very nice after life.
1:01:32offense And this is how to purify. So,
1:01:35what kind of service are we doing this
1:01:38month? This is not The service we're
1:01:40doing nice with spiritual master.
1:01:43He will take it and offer to Krishna.
1:01:47Mhm?
1:01:49Last measure has the sadhus sangha
1:01:51sevaya
1:01:53that is bhakti.
1:01:55That bhakti that what Krishna accept.
1:01:58Mhm.
1:02:00The service which give Krishna pleasure
1:02:02is with affection.
1:02:05Our service is contaminated with ego,
1:02:07you know?
1:02:09He's entering what they're offering.
1:02:13So, guru have to deal with that. You
1:02:15will take it and purify it before he
1:02:17pass it on.
1:02:18That's is how we get our purification.
1:02:22Mhm.
1:02:23Okay, last one. Question on ice.
1:02:27Um my question is that when something
1:02:30um
1:02:31It's like when we are in we got some
1:02:33disease
1:02:36Sometimes like when we got sick and we
1:02:38see that So, at that time our
1:02:41consciousness level is so low. Mhm.
1:02:43We almost we don't remember Krishna Mhm.
1:02:47or because the pain of the suffering we
1:02:50are remembering only. So, how to uplift
1:02:53consciousness in that time?
1:02:58If we practice nicely
1:03:01Mhm. If you if we practice nicely
1:03:04then you will get purified to come to
1:03:07that stage.
1:03:09where the uh
1:03:11the the body will not disturb
1:03:15our services. It will not disturb our
1:03:18sadhana.
1:03:19We need to raise our standard to that
1:03:21level.
1:03:22To to reach that level
1:03:25depends on the quality of our sadhana.
1:03:29That's how we That's how we get there.
1:03:32So, if we intensify our effort
1:03:37and regularly yesterday we're talking we
1:03:38should be conscious of what we're doing.
1:03:43If we are not conscious, we cannot be
1:03:45Krishna conscious. We have to be
1:03:47conscious in what we're doing and to
1:03:49lead us to be Krishna conscious.
1:03:52So, we intensify our effort
1:03:55then we'll get there.
1:03:58Gradually you get there. Otherwise,
1:04:00a little headache, oh, no japa for one
1:04:03week.
1:04:05No.
1:04:07If it is like that, consequently we'll
1:04:09not pray for more trouble. She was not
1:04:12pretending. That is her nature.
1:04:14She's not only the body, she's she's
1:04:17pure soul.
1:04:18So
1:04:20nothing is an impediment for the
1:04:22devotee.
1:04:23That is pure. Pure devotee's life.
1:04:27So, have to get to that stage and we can
1:04:29speak that.
1:04:32Shri Mad Bhagavatam Ki Jai. Shri
1:04:34Praphupada Ki Jai. Hare Krishna.
