Story of the elephant and six blind man

Anumana praman or speculation is imperfect. we have to know from the authorities or shabd pramana

How you know who is father from ur nother she is the authority.
Doctor example

we have to follow parampara

Qualification 1: to read Bhagavad Gita - you must be very eager to hear the absolute truth. not economic development or sense gratification.

Yudhisthir maharaj: although every second so many people are dying every second, still we are thinking that we will live here forever.

Pabhupada ex:if we get 2 months visa and make nice arrangements, then it is waste of time

Qualification 2: One must have firm faith and respect for Krishna (Submissive)

So many scholars dont read submissively, then it wont match with their opinion, they reject it.

Demigod worshipers are less intelligent.

Lord will gradually reveal to us.

Krishna can be understood only by process of devotional service

Story of Krishna's headache
Every body is putting process
gopis are spontaneous, they did not calculate about their own discomforts

King and minister story for showing gratitude for the food

Gajendra's story:If we are sincere for Lord, then lord will guide us to the right source even if we don't know him.

We are less intelligent, because we come under influence of Maya the external energy.

you are covered by curtain of deluding energy.

We can see the lord when he agrees to reveal himself. That he does when we change our attitude. Just by changing your attitude to be servent not the master.

In a family, somebody thinks he is master, but he becomes more servent of the wife and children.

Golden temple Gurudwara: even big businessman does chappel service personally.

If you want to purcase diamond, not everybody will be interested, similarly not everyone will be ready to take up Krishna consciuosness as it is most valuable assets.
Conditioned souls are rebellious. We have to try ways and means to teach the person. we have to maintain this spirit. One cannot teach  Krishna Consciousness without Krishna Shakti. Prasadam is the first way.

NOV-19-LIVE-HDG-SP-BG-2.10 - Krishna bhakti means full control over senses

Even Arjuna became rascal under influence of maya

Krishna is Hrishikesh

Story of Bhishmadeva

Bhishma means very solid and firmly fixed

Krishna is the perfect brahmachari. Even in between so many gopis he remained so.

Dhira means not agitated even if there is cause of agitation.
Haridas Thakur was chanting 196 rounds. we cant imitate him

Krishna bhakti means full control over senses.

People who chants Krishna are becoming moral then how Krishna can be immoral?

If you engage in service of Krishna then Maya will not touch you.

Disciple voluntarily accepts the instructions. This is surrender.

Accepting master's instruction without desire for personal sense gratification is the perfection of life. That is sum and substance of Bhagvad Gita - Devotional service

NOV-15-LIVE-HG-MPD SB-2.5.18 - There is no substance in material energy, it only has effects.

If you cannot percieve anything, accept the authority.

Two things we can challange to the scientist:
1. How life came into existance and
2. How this planetary system came.

sattavam rajas tama iti
nirgunasya gunas traya
sthiti sarga nirodheshu
grihita mayayo vibho

Translation:
The Supreme Lord is pure spiritual form, transcendental to all material qualities, yet for the sake of the creation of the material world and its maintenance and annihilation, He accepts through His external energy the material modes of nature called goodness, passion and ignorance.

Every body is affected by three modes of nature, which are qualities energy of the lord.

We are knower who is knowing the field of energy and he sees and gets entangled. But lord does not get entangled.

There is a substance and there is a quality. ex. fire and light.

Material energy does not have variety or intelligence, but it is real energy of the lord. Just like watching permutation and combination of different colours of lights.

Accepts the material qualities To duplicate the spiritual qualities (perverted version) for Jivas.

Soul has gyanendriya and karmendriya. They will be situated in mixture of the gunas(contaminated state)

There is no substance but only Qualities exists in material nature.

Pradhana

Material energy will have an effect. effect has definite beginning and end (temporary). Gunas are not substance but the effects.  Substance is eternal. effects are changing.

• Body is flux of atom and always changing is sattva guna.
• To know soul is transcendental to material gunas is Shuddha sattva.
• Considering this world and body as real and permanent is tamoguna.
• To try to control the energy is Rajoguna.

Three modes of material nature does not affect pure devotee. They know that it is play of nature.

Self centered activity is Rajoguna. Activity itself is not rajoguna.

What contradicts three gunas is trancedental knowledge.

He will live feel and see the material energy but he will not get affected by them. Here body is different and hand is diffrent. In spiritual world, body and hands are all conscious of themsleves.

Q. How the material energy Kshetra and spirit soul Kshetragya relate to. or how spirit soul accepts the modes of nature-the technique behind it?
A. Link is the supersoul. He translates the matter to Gunas for Jiva. Thus he enables Jiva to read life elements

Krishna is God, this Conviction is there in field. Not in the soul initially.When body is purified, conviction vibrates and nishtha comes and in this way soul is convinced.

Wood is substance and its effects are quality is wrong conception. Wood is in itself a quality. Substance should last eternally. Considering body is substance is bondage and considering it a quality is liberation. Vasudeva sarvam iti. Every thing is Vasudev and his energies.

Mayavadis says everything is illusion, but the Vaishnavas says that every thing is real energy of the lord.


Idea of "material substance" as a substance itself is an effect.

NOV-14-LIVE-HDG-SP-CC-A-7.7 - There is only One God Krishna

NOV-14-LIVE-HDG-SP-CC-A-7.7
12th march 1974 Mayapur, India

svayam bhagvan Krishna ekale ishvara
advitiya, nandatmaja, rasika-shekhara

Krishna the Reservoir of all pleasure, is the supreme Personality of Godhead himself, the supreme controller. No one is greater than or equal to Sri Krishna, yet he appears as the son of Maharaja Nanda.

Krishna is supreme personality of godhead

God is a person. Brahmeti Parmatmeti Bhagwan iti shabdyate

Bhagwan means 6 opulences. Krishna is full in:

1. Strength
2. Fame
3. Knowledge
4. Opulence
5. Beauty
6. Renounce

I am not this body I am spirit soul

I keep my individuality and Krishna keeps his individuality, we dont merge into krishna

Our plans are different when we are in Maya. But under Krishna, our plans are directed towards Krishna. But still we remains the same and our individuality is not lost.

Ekale Ishvara Krishna - There should be one Ishvara - Krishna. Also there should be one Acharya for the society.

nitya is singular-Krishna and nityanam is plural-us the living entities
He is supplying all the necessities of life. Eko yo Bahunam vidadhati Kaman

Ex: Big factory-Goodyear Tire factory. But without petrol no tire will move.

Nature is not supplying but nature is an agent of supply. Nature is dependent. Although nature has power Srshti Sthiti Pralaya Sadhana Shaktireka.

Nature's business is to keep you fool always

mattah parataram naanyat - No one is superior to me - Krishna says in Bhagvad Gita

There is no competitor of Krishna - Advitiya

Demigods are not as good as or equal to Krishna

Pashandi - anyone who puts the competition to Krishna is a Pashandi. Also the one who says that demigods and Krishna worship is same.

When I am the father of the child, I become, the best servent of the child. The best servent of God is to become his father and mother

Mayavadi philosphy is to become one with Krishna.

Vaishnava philosphy is to serve Krishna by becoming parents of KRISHNA. Parents or radharani can chastise him.

NOV-13-LIVE-HG-AAD-SB-2.5.19 : Influence of the Gunas-Cause and remedy

Guna(modes of nature-Satt, Raja and Tama) means ropes. there are strands in ropes. These strands are these modes

Even very regulated people(Sat Guna) are illusioned. Even though they talk on big big topics, they are talking nonsense. This can be compared to children play of making house of Sands.

Joke for Krishna: If you want to make Krishna laugh, tell him your plans. I want to do MBA, then good job, marriage and two children, he will say "Achha Beta"...

We are creating mess under the influence of Maya and struggling to clear it.

This is due to false sense lording over material nature

Sometimes one mode is prominent sometimes other. Modes have a competition among each other.

Modes can be compared to magnetic or electrical field. these fields can influence a magnetic needle. similarly we also get influenced by the places we go(Association). Thats why people go to gardens and all.

Any thing coming to us or affecting any of our senses are information. We have very limited control on external conditions.

Where Krishna is there Maya has no adhikara. Thats why we should go to Temple to get influenced by the place. Here Krishna's glorification is happening by Arti, kirtan etc.

story of Brahmin - What is Maya?

Regulations are meant to come out of illusion

Rajsic food - Rajoguna. rajoguna - Rajsic food. vice-versa. Our diet will decide our mode. Vice-versa is also true.

In ignorance, we create problem for us. Our original nature, however, is eternally blissfull.

What is our primary goal, we should be always aware.
"When everything is done properly, then we will do devotional activities" is the wrong decision and a bad choice.

If we have dificulties, but we are in Krishna consciousness, then we will be happy.

When living entity enjoys independent of Krishna, then Maya "Jhapatiya dhare" Grabs the living entity.

Even if we brake rules grossly or subtly, maya grabs.

Yes to Krishna, no to Maya is the ultimate result and achievement

What decides that which modes will influence me - is my own choice.



Q.    What is the highest achievement according to today's purport.
Ans. We are in the conditioned state and when we get freed from these states is the highest achievement.
