Transcribed excerpt of a spiritual lecture emphasizing devotional service (bhakti) and Krishna consciousness. The speaker contrasts fruitive (material) activities with selfless devotional action, assures that devotional service—especially chanting the holy name—guarantees return to Krishna and liberation, and offers cultural remarks about preaching in India and Russia. The talk references scriptural authorities (Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, Lord Chaitanya, Śaṅkarṣaṇa) and includes anecdotal remarks and an appeal to practice chanting.
Ra Ram Sam Ram Ram I shout Kami Jesus me jam.
Ban.
Sam sa Kish Sam sa it all It's Ram Ram sa Ram Ram Ram la.
Okay, so you're making these books available to these people. Otherwise they wouldn't have the possibility. But if you're born in the culture, then it's something even more easily.
Being.
Born in a culture. That says here, if someone doesn't engage in devotional service then they can achieve highest perfection no matter what they do. So this would also include those children that are born in Krishna consciousness. Anybody here born to Ka conscious parents who. So you have a little big responsibility because you know these things from your birthday. So that means if we don't use this knowledge then it's like a type of rejection of Krishna. It's a very foolish kind of decision. Now Krishna in the form of Shantakshana. So he gives a few more instructions. We don't have any purport but they're very important instructions. Remembering the great trouble found in the field of activities performed for fruitive results and remembering how one receives the rest reverse of the results one desires. Whether from material actions or from the fruitive activities recommended in the Vedic literature. An intelligent man should cease from a desire for fruitive actions. For by such endeavors one cannot achieve the ultimate goal of life. On the other hand, if one acts without desires from fruitive results. In other words, if one engages in devotional activities, he can achieve the highest goal of life with freedom from miserable conditions. Considering this, one should cease from material desires. But what is our intelligence? How many times we have to get kicked to learn? However, when you do devotional service, what you want to do devotional service is. That's what you get. It's predictable. You can get the highest goal of life. Sure. Guaranteed. Satyam. Last night in Srikareva we read. You worship me. You be my devotee. You worship me and you bow down to me. Then you will come to to me. This is for sure. This is the truth. I promise you this. Nobody can have a promise that if I do this, this sense gratification I'll get. And if I get that sense gratification, it'll make me happy. There are no such gifts guarantee. Being happy and materialized is just a setup for more suffering. Just to get us attached. So that when we lose it, we suffer more. So our guaranteed for sure is suffering. 100% guarantee. You may or may not be happy, but for sure you'll suffer. But if you engage in devotional service, there's any guarantees that you Come back to him. This is true. Absolutely true. It is true. Yoshina. It's a teacher very dear to me. Please, meditation. Also, because Krishna promises this again and again. Krishna, somebody who's been initiated in Krishna consciousness, they're also born in the Krishna.
Consciousness.
Maintain their spiritual body. So this also applies for them. This doesn't mean that someone not born in India, they don't have a chance. Everyone has a chance if they want it. The point given here is that if somebody is born in India and they don't try for it, they're really. They're really unfortunate. It's like being offered to them on a silver platter. But that's why also in India, there's a lot of need of preaching because most Indians don't understand about devotional service because it's not so widely preached. But so much myavad is confused things. Also, it's a good scope for some people from Russia to preach in India because Indians respect Russians very much a long time. In fact, on the way to Mayapur, there's one famous sweet shop. They make a special type of rasagula, so big long, with all kinds of different colored sandash on top. So I asked what is the name of that suite? It's a Russian rocket. They even name their sweets after Rush. They didn't name American rocket, only Russian rocket.
Too bad.
The Prophet told us, like he sent me from the west to preach in India. It's a different kind of preaching, is it? Because Indian people actually, they know some of these things. It's like in their blood. So it's more like you have to awaken their faith. And so it's like fanning the coals. Some fire is there. We have a natural desire to the ashes. Of course, the modern Indians, they know less about Krishna. You still have to give them some of knowledge, but in a more friendly way. There's a lot of Indians, of course, studying here in Russia and especially in Moscow for giving a medical degree, different degrees. This is a good opportunity to preach to these very bright students who are going to become doctors and professionals when they go back to India to become ka conscious. Of course, to me, I say that when this was spoken, the whole of Russia was part of via Brussels.
In.
The Mahabharata, when it describes the Rajasuya sacrifice. Then one of the parvas went north over vacuum alone else. And we went into the. Into the northern lands, which is directly in the rurals in south India, the straight north of India. That's the illusion. How many times you hear, I'm not.
The body, I'm not the.
But instead we always. You know, the nature is the act on the platform that I'm the body. So sir, Kaishan is telling Chittagain use discrimination. Even if you can't realize that you're the spirit soul.
Even if.
If it's hard to see the spirit soul. But you should understand you are the spirit soul. Act on that level. Understand your relationship with me. Become my devotee. Being Krishna's devotee, we don't act out of fruit of his desire. We act how to please Krishna. Communism tried to replace God. So if you became a member of the communist party, you were supposed to work for the party interest. But that's not natural. People were still working for their own interests. But here we want to. It's natural for us to be the. And if we act on behalf of Krishna, then we can achieve all our perfection. Living in a material world, there's going to be certain amount of sense gratification anyway. But that's not the goal of life anymore for the devotee. That's just the side issues. Side issue for survival, eat and maybe have a family. All these things that's there. But that's no longer the goal of life. Goal of life is how to do everything.
For Ka.
That means using our discrimination. The next verse, he further elaborates translation. Persons who try to reach the ultimate goal of life must expertly observe the supreme personality of Godhead, the supreme absolute person and the living entity who are one in quality in their relationship as part and whole. This is the ultimate understanding of life. There is no better truth than this. God and living entity are one in quality. Some people think we're Mayavadis because we said one in quality. But no, he said simultaneously one and different. We understand I'm part of Ka, therefore I should work for the interest of the whole. Like a team member. You're part of the team. You work for the whole team effort. That's the rule. Because we're part of the whole. And then when we do that, we feel actually very satisfying, very peaceful. Howard has happens. Maybe you can't figure out.
If you.
Do it, you realize it tells us of my dear king, application in life. You will achieve the highest perfection by attaining the The Lord is the original and supreme spiritual master. Sankarshan is a superstar source of the super soul. So it's like the super soul coming out and preaching to Turkey that was being preached directly by the super soul from outside. Normally we get the super soul teaches us from within. But we don't hear it so well. And if we hear the super soul, he came out and he directly preached to. Chichiketu says super soul preaches from within. Our guru preaches to us from without our gurus. So she took into God so much mercy to feel such a very dynamic instructions. Remember how Sanatan Goswami he approached Lord Chattanoo when he was the prime minister. People call me a big pundit. So many people tell him that I'm very learned. Prime Minister, President. Everyone will say you're very great. You're very learned. Someone who's very rich. I think he must be very learned. Everybody goes to Bill Gates because he's the richest man in the world today. Goswami was humble. He said, I actually am the greatest fool. Where is there a greater fool than these?
Me?
I don't even know who I am. We may know so many things, but we don't know who I am. Then what do we know? What is foolishness? So he said, please tell me where I am.
Where I am.
If you don't know this and whatever else you know, it's all useless. So then what did Lord Chaitanya say? That the living entity is the eternal servant of Ka Krishna, Krishna's eternal servant. This is our real identity. We eternal and we're part of Krishna. And as Parakrishna were his eternal son, he wrote this beautiful Radhakrishta bol bol bol bolo. It's such a beautiful preaching song. Whatever the teachings given here by Sankar action in short words are given in that song. Even more living entity, servant of Krishna quarreling. If you believe in this, no more unhappiness. This is very beautiful way of presenting it. Just understand how Krishna does. And the verse before you are floating. Floating means ocean. And you are being dunked in the water. Sometimes you're getting a breath of air. And then sometimes. Because what is material sense gratification, purpose is mainly a suffering and the relief from suffering. We take it as happiness. This little relief from suffering. Then when the relief is over, back into something. But then here is translation means that when you chant the holy name of Krishna, you get real happiness. How does it start? Pulaka habe pulakahabe. May the hands that stand on image Jonah beat. Your eyes will be filled with tears when you chant the holy name and you get all these ecstatic symptoms. Hair standing on him. This is real happiness. This is not evolution. This is eternal happiness. No suffering is included in unhappiness. You don't have the suffer to enjoy the our request Then said that you said our request is. You should come with us.
Champ.
Be in the morning much of Chaya you come with us. This is our only request. So very nice ways presented. This was the way that Lord Shaitanu was teaching the people. So remembering that whatever Sankaran Prabhu is telling here to chitter came to the same thing what Chaitanya is teaching to all the people in his past times. The difference is that devotee and you'll achieve the perfection. But Lord she turns giving immediately the holy name. So immediately people can experience this happiness.
