By instinct he knows only the agreeable and disagreeable sense perceptions of that particular body. But I have a body in which I can control my senses and can understand my destination. Therefore, I offer my respectful obeisances to to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, by whom I have been blessed with this body and by whose grace I can see him within and without Report by RLA Prabhupda the evolutionary process of different types of bodies is something like that of a fructifying flower. Just as there are different stages in the growth of a flower, the bud stage, the blooming stage, and the full fledged, full grown stage of aroma and beauty. There are 8,400,000 species of bodies in gradual evolution. And there is a systematic progress from the lower species of life to the higher. The human form of life is supposed to be the richest, supposed to be the highest, for it offers consciousness for getting out of the clutches of birth and death. The fortunate child in the womb of his mother realizes his superior position and is thereby distinguished from other bodies. Animals and bodies lower than that of the human being are conscious only as far as their bodily distress and happiness are concerned. They cannot think of more than their bodily necessities of life, eating, sleeping, mating and defending. But in the human form of life, by the grace of God, the consciousness is so developed that a man can evaluate his exceptional position and thus Realize the Self and the Supreme Lord. Jai Ramadhava Ashtoshaki the consciousness and human form of life by the grace of God is so developed that a man can evaluate his exceptional position and thus realize himself and the Supreme Lord. The word Tamasari means that we have a body in which we can control the senses and the mind. The complication of materialistic life is due to an uncontrolled mind, an uncontrolled senses. One One should feel grateful to the Supreme Personality of Godhead for having obtained such a nice human form of body and one should properly utilize it. The distinction between an animal and a man is that the animal cannot control himself and has no sense of decency, whereas the human being has the sense of decency and can can control himself. If this controlling power is not exhibited by the human being, then he is no better than an animal. By controlling the senses or by the process of Yoga regulation, one can understand the position of his self, the super soul, the world and their interrelation. Everything is possible by controlling the senses. Otherwise we are no better than animals. Real self realization by means of controlling the senses is explained herein. One should try to see the Supreme Personality of Godhead and one's own self also. To think oneself the same as the supreme is not self realization. Here it is clearly explained that the Supreme Lord is Anadi or Purana and he has no other cause. The living entity is born of the Supreme Godhead as part and paradise. It is confirmed in the Brahma Sahit an Adiradi Gobinda Govinda. The Supreme Person has no cause. He is unborn, but the living entity is born of him. As confirmed in Bhagavad Gita. Both the living entity and the Supreme Lord are unborn. But it is to be understood that the supreme cause of the part and parcel is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Brahma Samhita therefore says that everything has come from the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Sarvakara. The Vedanta Sutra confirms this also. Janmadyasya Yata, the Absolute Truth is the original source of everyone's birth. Krishna also says in Bhagavad Ahamsaravasya Prabhavaha I am the source of birth of everything including Brahma and Lord Shiva and the living entities. This is self realization. One should know that he is under the control of the Supreme Lord and not think that he is fully independent. Otherwise why should he be put into conditional life? Om Tatsat Thus end the Bhaktivedanta Swami translation purport to Canto 3. Chapter 31, text 19 of the Bhagavatam Bhaktivedanta purports in the matter of the movement of the living entities. This living entity is expressing his realization while present in the womb of the mother in the form of a 10 month old embryo. As a fully developed embryo he is realizing the benefits of having achieved the human force because he has awakened to consciousness. So he's offering prayers with folded hands. Therefore he's saying, I offer my respectful obeisances to the Lord.

The.

Difference between animal body and human body is very clearly explained here. That animal sees by instinct their already programmed or organized by nature to see things in a particular way. They don't have the intelligence to see things objectively. They see things according to what is agreeable or disagreeable to the sense perception of that animal. Just like a pig will like to eat stool that is agreeable to that animal. You cannot communicate with the pagan, convince the king that something else is better. Human being can by habit develop certain association with modes of ignorance, passion or goodness. But you can convince someone to change their habit in the human form of life. That is why human being is considered to have higher intelligence. You can't convince an animal by training. Sometimes the animals are given a particular kind of food and they get used to it. But their natural inclination is in a particular direction. Although human beings body is made for being a vegetarian by habit many have become meat eaters. And for this reason there are so many more diseases than needed in human society. So this devotee or this person in the womb of the mother is very happy to see that they have human form of life. Because with human form of life one can realize Ka, one can realize the self and one can get out of the cycle of birth and death. If we control the senses, the whole key is sense control. Sabja or control of the senses. The Indriya is the system to go to higher levels. In previous ages even the Nima Brahmans would do great tapasyas in order to get more power. They had an understanding about Atman. Unfortunately by their tapasyas they could not understand the position of the supreme personality of Godhead. Ravana was famous for doing great tapasyas. His Tapa Bhumis are situated in different parts also Hiranya Kashipu did a great tapasya. Many demons also do tapasya. But they do that temporarily to get more material power to then again enjoy the sense gratification. So they make miss the whole point of the real purpose of human life. Brahminical culture means Vaishnava culture means to understand our relationship with the Supreme Lord to control the senses for that higher purpose. In modern civilization, sense control is also expected of people, but the tendency is more in a demonic direction. Scientists have to exert lot of sense control to do their research. They had to control their senses, their mind. There are many modern fields of technology and science where a lot of sense control is required. Not a slight mistake. For instance, in this spatial launches seems to throw the whole thing off quite a bit. But if all the sense control is utilized to enhance sense gratification. The Prabhupada gave the example that the vulture is flying high in the sky. But the vulture is looking down on the ground. Where is the dead corpse, the dead body to eat the dead flesh. So though the is there to fly high, the consciousness is always down on the ground. So that type of sense control which does not lead us to a higher understanding of life was compared to that of the vultures. It's not really beneficial to the human society's ultimate srei, ultimate welfare. Chaitanya Mah Prabhu he encouraged his followers to exert sense control, to use the senses in the service of Ka. Chant the holy names. Jagannananda Pandit is saying someone who is attached to running after the dictates of the tongue, whose stomach, belly, genital tongue, belly and genital are not controlled, they won't get Ka. So the Prabhupada stressed we should eat only ka. Prasadam. We should eat the remnants of prasadam. There are often offered to Lord Krishna that are taken by devotees. Jagannath Puri. All the offerings are offered to Jagannath and taken then by Vimala Devi. She's the great devotee of the Lord.

We take her.

Mahaprashad Bhuvaneshwar, deity of Krishna Prashad Prasad is offered to Bhuvaneshwar sheep. So we take the Maha Prasad. The point is we should take Krishna Prashad and that Prashad. If it's offered to a great devotee like Shiva or Durga, or to the Guru or to some advanced Vaishnava, then that's considered Surcharat or the Maha Prashad. In Caitanya Chara Dharamita there's the past dimension. Who is that who is collecting Mahaprashad? Kalidas. Kalidas. He used to go the get the Mahaprashadam of different Vaishnavas. He would invite them to his house and then feed them and then he would get their remnant. One devotee came and he was so clever, he was not leaving any remnant. So then Kalidas gave him a mango with a seed. And that way he got the mango seed, could not eat it, so that would be remnant. But the Kalidas that the guest. Who is the guest? Joru Thakur. We were supposed to see Joru Thakur Sri path. But there's no road there. So we could not take the devotees. It's near Adi Saptragram Jodh Thakur. He took his leaf plate with a mango seed and he went deep into the woods to throw it. But the Kalidas, he was like a gorilla warrior. He's going in the bushes, following, to not be seen crawling in the ground, watching where does he throw. So finally when he threw, then Kalidas knew where he threw. Then he went and he got a mango seed and was sucking, getting the remnant. All these pastimes were very pleasing to Krishna. When Kalidas went to Jagannath Puri, then immediately Lord Caitanya be gave him his mercy. He got the mercy simply by having so much faith in Vaishnavas. Having faith in Vaishnavas. The power of Vaishnavas is such a great quality that it can earn one the mercy of Lord Gauranga.

So here.

Khalidas he was going after the Mah Prashada devotees. Generally we say at least take Prasadam. But he was more than wanting prasada, he wanted Mah Kushan. Lord Chaichanya stress, sense control. But in Ka consciousness is much easier. You don't have to go like the yogis. They're going in the mountains and doing severe Tapasya. In this hot month of Voyag Josti, they're going in the hot sun and putting fires north, east, west, south, all around with the hot sun. And they're meditating to teach themselves tolerance. And in the month of Mag posh, they're going into the freezing cold rivers in the Himalayas and meditating in the cold water like this. They are doing so many very severe type of sense control for their meditation. But in devotional service we are not asked to do this type of Tapasya. Our Tapasya is to control the mind itself. Senses engage them in Krishna's service.

To.

Take Krishna Prasadam not to eat bhoga. But Chaitanya stressed we shouldn't eat food cooked by non devotees. Vishay, anu, kaile, vishakto, hay vemon. Some statement like that. If you eat the food of materialistic.

People.

It will contaminate the mind. One can get the tendency for sense gratification just by Eating that food Interesting example in Mahabharata when Krishna visited before the Kuruk center war he was invited for prasana by Duryodhan but he refused he said I'll take from Vidura Even though Vidura was not strictly of Kshatriya camp But Lord Krishna didn't mind he wanted to take from his devotees hand he wouldn't take the food of Duryodhan Explains how Gonacharya was affected did not protest Madhuraupadi's master how it was going on because he is eating the food of Loyola they are eating the food from the clear consciousness we want to control the senses we should eat what Ka Krishna this is the upstairs.

What.

Prasad is offered to Ka that is accepted the remnants are accepted prasadam offered I assume to Lord Krishna the devotees will hesitate the austerity of accepting those remnants in due course Prabhupada said for us feasting and fasting is the same of course after every fast and there's a feast this is the only spiritual process you can go back to Godhead by feasting there is also control of the senses because we are only taking Ka prasad if somebody offers a nice feast but it's not Ka prasad we are not interested but if it's even a simple prasad offered to Ka we're very happy for them if they offer a feast for Ka with so much devotion this is also very wonderful for Chaitanya. He sometime would cry when he saw a very nice offering being made to the deed deities. He would comment, oh, there is so much devotion when he saw the Nile Amar arrangements and the big prasadam being offered at Santipur on the occasion of the disappearance festival Bharavendrapuri Lord Caitanya was so pleased he said simply by taking prasadam here on this day.

You can.

Get Govinda Bhakti pure devotion for Lord Govinda.

So.

Devotional service is not difficult but a little sense control we have to utilize sometimes in India you know there's all kinds of people Some are not favorable to the Vaishnavas Sometimes the devotees coming from west were innocent and someone would invite them, you please take some sweet and offer Rasa Ghula or Sundays but they are fed by some tantric people who pour to say some kind of roots and things inside those sweets and by eating then the devotees would get sick and no doctor could cure them. They would be forced to leave India or they had to go and get some tantric cure and they found so many weird things inside their intestines so if a person isn't a devotee even then may be very friendly. We cannot accept their offerings. We can only eat from the hand of initiated devotees food which is offered to the Lord Otherwise they give us ingredients, we cook and we offer some emergency. Sometime while traveling we had to buy something and eat. That's for emergency case. But generally we should avoid. Of course when you buy something you are protected from the karmas but if it's in the mode of goodness but still the consciousness of the cook is there in that food. So we should avoid as much as possible eating food from outside and eat the Ka prasadam. What is the difficulty? So many nice kinds of Ka prasadam are there. Unfortunately in India which was mainly vegetarian previously. Now I heard about 80% of the people eat non veg in some form or another at the present day Confirmed. So it's very difficult. When we want to preach to people we want to encourage them be ka conscious they think oh, but then I have to eat vegetarian, I have to give up something. This is the whole point purpose of human life we are reading in this verse sense control by habit. Someone has developed tamastic tendency or ajasic tendency. Human being can by habit change their tendency. So that's why for preaching we have to give sometime big feast. If people get a big feast, they say oh, this is so nice. If I could eat like many people told me, I am a nonbank but if I could eat the way you eat every day, I would be vegetarian too. In your temples you eat so nice. But who will click off. My wife will not cook all these things for me, she will not cook. So in western countries what they're doing is they're having cooking course because people know how to cook nicely vegetarian preparation then it's very easy for them to be devotee. If we can control the tongue, then other senses are easy to control Compared to the tongue, tongue is very greedy. The Roman people, they were eating so much they couldn't eat anymore. Then he would put feather down their throat and vomit out. Then again eat more so forth they could go on eating like that. If the tongue doesn't tire out, go on eating. Only belly is limited so they would solve the limit of the belly by vomiting. They had special room to go and vomit. This is why Roman civilization got finished. Now in the west people want very skinny ladies. So even I heard now some ladies they are eating outside but later to keep skinny, they also going and vomiting. In this way they're missing the whole point of human life. Human life is not meant to just enjoy the senses but to go for the higher understanding. To actually understand the supreme Lord, self, the world and the relation between. If we go running after the senses, there is no end to it. So we try to control that sense of taste by giving people prasadam. Control the other senses by engaging in devotional service, smelling Ka Prasha incense. These flowers, so nice. Gardenia is here, lotus. So this one you find a description of heavenly planets. You see that there's so many auspicious trees like coconut, Bakul, mango, like this whole list of Banyan, Aswat. All auspicious trees are there then flowers. So there's some definition. What is heavenly? What is auspicious? Someone was commenting. Whenever they see coconut, they feel like heavenly. That's correct. It's not just a filling that that environment is mentioned in Vedas is existing in heavenly planets. If you create that environment in the earth, people will feel uplifted, they'll feel peaceful in their mind. Srila Prabhupada is driving out from Calcutta to Panihati Kordah to see the dumps of Nitayam Gordon. Then on the way on that Baraghpur Trunk road he was seeing some of the devotees saw on the Brickram at this time. This now all factories and tea stalls, tire repair shop and so on. All lorries. He said that when I was a child this was all garden houses, all.

Gardens.

Big mansions were there, very beautiful to see. And now it has become all slum. This urbanization of India has created slum areas. People are suffering because of that degradation of environment. So much pressure on the mind, so much anxiety that they start to drink and gamble and prostitution and they totally lose the finer nature of human being. So Srila Prabhupada was definitely for an ecological sacred environment that human beings should grow in so that they could develop the higher aspirations and sentiments and aspects of human life. So here in Mayapur, our master plan designers take all this into account to create an environment which is conducive in our urbanization of Mayapur for our spiritual progress. That environment, some environment are more conducive to spiritual thought development. So the human beings, they can create an environment. Tiger is not going to go out and play the bushes to hide in. Humans will go and destroy the bushes. That's another thing we can create or we can destroy. You can plant nice trees around your house. You can dig a Pukur, you can swim in the Pukur, you can have lotuses in it. So many things you can do. You can create a Nice environment. If you want, you can just create a slum, throw garbage all around, put concrete and asphalt everywhere. With no trees, human being has got the scope to do various things. That is why the Chaitanya, Charita, Rita, the Srimad Bhagavatam, they're giving us this clear picture what we should do with our human life. If we didn't have these books, we wouldn't know. Modern society, they don't know clearly what they should do. By scientists experimentation. Now they're finding Sattvic diet is better for you. More plants and trees is better. Smoking is bad. By experimentation they're finding out. Whatever Bhagavutam is saying, they are confirming. So we want to see the true picture. We can just get it from the Bhagavatam directly. We don't have to go elsewhere. So this is why we control our senses, engage them in Krishna's service. Chanting the holy names. Hare Krishna. Hare Krishna. Krishna Krishna Hare Hare. Any questions? Melbourne, Australia. You're not supposed you can eat food offered to the devas if it was offered to Krishna first. The devas want to eat Ka Prasana. They recognize they're the part of Ka in the Vedas. It says that those who are devotees of Vishnu are devas and those who are against devotion to Vishnu are opposite. They're one is Surah and no Surah. So the devas, they want Krishna Prashant, they want Vishnu Prasad. You offer to Shaligram and then Deva you can take those Pujaris who don't know this, who are directly offering to the devas as some type of independent controller without any reference to their relationship with Vishnu. There's some offense, there's some misconception included in that offering. Therefore devotees, they don't want to take that type of offering. We take and touch it to our head or something, but we don't eat. But that doesn't mean that we don't respect the devas as being exalted devotees. If it's offered in a proper way, we'll accept it. In the future, as Ka consciousness spreads, all these temples will be maintained by devotees. So in those temples they can establish small deities of Vishnu or Shaligram Sila and offer the worship to the Srila and remnant to the even in some temples. Now some of my disciples in Tamil areas, they are the Ganesh Pujari or Morgan Pujari. So they are keeping one small shaligram on the side and offering like that.

The consciousness of the living entities, like burning to their species. So when it comes to the 400,000 species of human life which is like the completely known form and human being.

Of the 400,000 Brahmanas. When you achieve Brahmanical culture then you're considered to be fully developed. There's a progression in human being. Human is one and you go on Darva Kinara La that this one goes.

Up to.

All 400,000 including Devas are.

All of.

The level to have sense, control and understanding. But amongst everything to be realized Brahmana Vaishnava that is considered more than all the 84 black species postgraduate. Even Vishnu is respecting the Brahmanas. So we are born 84 like species. But we are born again Dwija into the Brahman which is beyond that. So any other human beings by proper development Samskara under the pure bona fide Guru can become fully blossomed. Otherwise Brahma is the best of all entities. Then next to Brahma comes Indra. Then from Indra all the Devas who are controlling Devas and other just Devas who are not controlling much. Then beneath them there are so many other Maharloka Sital whatever. So many levels are there that is given in Bhagavatam. The human is elk and just basic entry point. Within a human level there may be so many uncivilized human. Whatever they're taking civilized human like say the emperor of the planet. They're using him as one. Beneath that is you know, 0.5, 0.7 whatever. But the point is any of the human human being they can go beyond this 84 lakh species. By getting initiated from bona fide Vaishnava Guru and completely dedicating themselves in the Ka conscious activity. They can become Jiva Mukta Sushate. They can be liberated even while living. Which is more than any species of life. This already back to home, back to Godhead Brahma Bhu Aya, Kalputi. Why should we worry about what species we are? We cannot change now till we leave this body again take birth. Then again we can think about what next birth we can get. You can get the Deva birth or you can go down get the animal birth or Asura birth. So what the point is now having human birth we can control our senses and we can achieve perfection by being a proper Brahmana Vaishnava. By being a Vaishnava we can achieve all the perfection. We can go back to Ka. We can achieve full love of Ka. We don't have to worry about the 84 lakh species of life again.

Sounds.

Like a mechanism that when you bought something from prashadam, I get it from that.

You didn't take any karma for that.

Could you explain that mechanism what you meant? Whenever you get a donation of food from someone, they also giving you some karmas. That's why people love to feed sadhus because they're giving them, they're getting a lot of mercy and they're giving away a lot of karma. So that's why the sadhus they won't take food from anybody. They only take food from very pious people. Especially the sadhus won't take food from people who are not initiated or not following sattvic habits. In other words, they get overloaded with their karmas. Sometimes they'll take grain and cook and offer it to their deity themselves. Which time? By offering to the deity by their. Since they're just taking the raw ingredient, that's one way of burning out the karma. Somebody comes here and gives one bag of rice. We don't know whether that person is sinful or pious. But they are giving a bag of rice to the deity. We can cook that and offer it to Krishna. Krishna can absorb anointed karma like a big fire burn up. But if somebody steals one kilo of rice, it heaps they have to take the karma. That's why any donation we get, we give first to Krishna. Then we take from Krishna what we need. This is a general standard. The Prabhupada explains that when you buy something, say someone is traveling, you buy a sundae or fruit, something, glass of milk because you're buying it. So that person is not giving you, you're giving you money, you're taking the food. So there's no karma transfer. If he gives you a gift then with that he's also relieving himself from something Karma. If you take that, if it's offerable, you give to Krishna.

No problem.

Understand? I mean I can go more. I don't have time but that's okay. Aponi Prasad Kwerte Khaliju Kintu Amara to Sudo Martin Strong.

Yes.

No, you can also offer to Guru Krishna and guru.

My question, if you don't give to guru directly and want to be to guru and also spend your most time guru and v time worshipping and degree and other things give you most sense to.

Couldn't hear the question properly. What was the punchline?

You understand what the meaning of this is? Then my question is that you know worshipping deity and you know giving much time and other devotional service. If you keep on the faith to Vaishnav, Sadhguru and Guru. Then what will happen?

Well, if one simply by worshipping devotee, one can also get all the perfection just there. Of course, one won't neglect or offend any deity or anything. He didn't have any deity. He didn't mention there was any deity. He just was taking the remnant of the Uppershadam from the great Bhaktivedant us. And by taking their remnant he got all the blessing he could become the thank you for watching our videos. Be sure to subscribe to our channel. We publish new videos every day.
