20020902 || Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.2.18 || 5th Hare Kṛṣṇa Convention || ISKCON Malaysia

A single-speaker transcript of a spiritual lecture by Jaya Pataka Swami (ISKCON) that comments on Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.2.18 and emphasizes the power of irrevocable devotional service (bhakti) to remove material modes (lust, anger, ignorance) and produce genuine spiritual happiness (Atmananda). The speaker uses scripture translation, personal anecdotes (conversions, examples of rapid spiritual change), and practical guidance (regular hearing of Bhagavatam, chanting, congregational programs, youth engagement) to argue that the Hare Krishna maha-mantra and Bhagavat-seva are universal, non-sectarian 'cures' for suffering. Lord Chaitanya's mercy and Srila Prabhupada's preaching are presented as instrumental for widespread spiritual transformation.
Translation by His Divine Grace as soon as irrevocable loving service is established in the heart, the effects of nature's modes of passion and ignorance, such as lust, desire and hankering disappear from the heart. Then the devotee is established in goodness and he becomes completely happy, a living being in his normal constitutional position as fully satisfied in spiritual bliss. This is the state of existence called Brahma Buddha or Atmanandi or the state of self satisfaction. This self satisfaction is not like the satisfaction of an inactive fool. The inactive fool is in a state of foolish ignorance, whereas the self satisfied Atmanandambi is transcendental to the material state of existence. The stage of perfection is attained as soon as one is fixed. An irrevocable devotional service Devotional service is not inactivity, inactivity of the unalloyed activity of the soul. The soul's activity becomes adulterated in contact with matter and as such and diseased activities are expressed in the form of lust, desire, hankering, inactivity, foolishness and sleep. The effect of devotional service becomes manifest by a complete elimination of these effects of passion ignorance. The devotee is fixed at once in the boat of goodness and he makes further progress to rise to the position of Vasudeva for the state of unmixed Sattva or Sudha of Sattva. Only in the sutta Sattva state can one always see fish eyes alive, but by dim of pure affection for the Lord. And the body is always in the mode of unalloyed goodness. Therefore he therefore devotee harms no one. But the non devotee, however educated he may be, is always harmful. A devotee is neither foolish nor passionate. The harmful foolish and passionate cannot be devotees of the Lord. However they may advertise themselves as devotees, outrantress and devotee is always qualified with all the good qualities of God quantitatively and qualitatively. And what qualitatively devotees always qualified with all the good qualities of God Quantitatively such qualifications may be different, but qualitatively both the Lord and his devotee are one and the same, like the Bhajan Swami. Translation for a Port Vikanta 1 chapter 2, text 19 in Divinity and Divine Service in the previous verse Banu Mahara is ready. The regular attending of the Bhagavatam class and serving the pure devotees all that's troublesome in the heart is completely destroyed. And when being serviced under the Bhagavad, then the all the things that troublesome and the heart is moved in loving service. It's established as an irrevocable fact, the next day appear I mentioned that one is meditating and how to inter. So here we see how service to the book Bhagava and service to the devotee Bhagava clears away all that's inauspicious from the heart. And then it says Bhakti becomes irrevocably pitched in my heart. When that happens next passion, ignorance is the effects of it like lust, anxiety, hangering and disappear from the heart. And then you become situated in goodness and you become completely happy. How many want to be completely happy? Okay, now you know. Now you know how these verses are very important for followers of Srila Prabhupada. 5 Especially for us. When Srila Prabhupada was in the harbor out from America and he prayed to Christian and he remarked him upon the words of Dharma how he's going to spread Ka consciousness to this sinful place, America to this Kukra place. Then remember these verses and by hearing the Bhagavat of the Awad rain suit all the inauspicious things like this from the heart. When that happens, one's purified passion, ignorance, effects situated with your equipment. So that Bhabhat or Faisa's verse is important here in his prayer to Krishna. This is my formula. This is what I'm going to do. I'm going to engage people in hearing and chanting the glories of Krishna and serving the Bhagavad. Follow this process by your mercy of the Bhagwat, your mercy is going to work and I'm going to become purified. So we find that this works. It doesn't only work in America, it works in Europe. It works in Malaysia, it works in Africa, it works in Australia, works everywhere works in Russia. It's a universal process. It's not a material process. It's not dependent on nationality and race, religion. It works on anyone. Just like fire fireworks, totally non sectarian will burn anybody. Doesn't matter what political party they belong to, what their dream or religion. So this holy name and this Bhagwat Seva has a transcendental effect for everyone. The only problem is how to get people to try it. And the other, the medicine that can save everybody from this disease. One of our devotees got Bengal fever recently. Bengal fever. And some of the Bengal fever is actually very dangerous. They've got this in the world today. Malaria has come back again. Then there's also aidsycosis and hissing. What if he had the cure? You want to give it out to anyone? Why? Some big pharmaceutical companies who want to put a patent on it and make a lot of money want to see everybody get the cure. Everybody's dying. Death is permanent disease that everybody has in this world. We have a cure for it. We're trying to convince people. We get people that helps her out. Let me enjoy life. Then when I die, then I'll worry about God. So many different kinds. So much ignorance is there. Even somehow, even by accident. When somebody hears the Bible, they also get blessed. Tonight there was one life memoir. He came to see me and his wife and his aspiring disciple. Sheltered disciple. He once said, Guru Maharaj, I just want to tell you that actually I'm really falling. President. You see, I'm a businessman. I used to always go. I used to always go to Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo. And I always. Whenever I go, I smoke or drink. I'm a vegetarian though. But I do all these things. And I regularly go. So I thought this is the modern way. I think very modern. My wife, she's very religious. So I drive her to the temple sometimes. She'd regularly come. I would sit out in the car and smoke while she's thinking darshan. Sometimes I'd come in also have a darshan. Sometimes I sit and hear the class. I thought, this is not for me. It's okay. My wife wants to do it. I'll do it later. It's not my time yet. Then he had Bhakti Riksha meetings in the house. And every month by rotation I would come into their house. Sometimes he would attend the Bhakti Miksha meeting. Just like sitting at the side like a host. But because the discussion is very interactive and very informal. So it's very easy to participate and listen. So he started to participate in that discussion. So after some few times of doing this, one day they are talking about how intoxication is putting the influence of ignorance on our consciousness. How this intoxication is an obstacle in spiritual life. So then he said, well, if you take coffee and tea, is that also a problem? So then the devotee told them, well, this type of stimulants are not good. Better to just take the energy from the Holy name. Then I was thinking, better not talk about my whiskey there. Asked about whisper, he said, somehow now I just want to tell you, Maharashtra that now I'm chanting eight rounds of Japan. I've given up intoxication. And I aspire in the future. That also I can be initiated. But how this happened to me, I can't tell you. I don't understand it somehow I had very, very happy. The bodhis become very happy once their Ka conscious. But then the materialists, they can't figure out why devotees are happy. They don't do any things that make them happy. Their idea of happiness is different kinds of Sanskrit. In the case, most of the things that give them more happiness are more of ignorance and passion, which we don't do. So then they can figure out how is it that devotees are they. If I had to give up all these things, I'd never be happy. Therefore I won't change. So it's not even good to sometimes inform people in the beginning about all the rules. Just get up the chant and hear. By any means, get people to chant, get them attached to Ka. Once they're attached to Ka, then you can introduce the rules and regulations. Because then they're always trying to get tastes so they can keep the taste and maintain it. And they need the knowledge that you have to get is tamasu things. So regularly attending Bhagavatam classes, it has a miraculous effect. And then here there's the next stage, performing devotional service, hearing Bhagavuta for a while, and somebody develops this fixed devotional service. When someone repeats devotional service and while doing devotional service is lust, anger, greed, all this material repose and start to diminish from the heart, the word of goodness becomes prominent. There is always a fight by God in our consciousness between the different modes. And depending on our nature, on our previous karmas, on our purification, certain modes went out. Some people, they are just fixed in the moana like that. Some are fixed in cash, some are bricks in the fix. Some are very much into goodness. So for spiritual life, it's better to be in goodness than actually through goodness. You want to come to Sudha Sattva, pure goodness. How these things lead the heart, we want to pull it out from our heart. It's very difficult. So we cleanse it by performing this devotional service. Devotional service makes this happen. I know my brother, when I was an uphakta in the Montreal temple, or just Korean, he's five years younger than me. He came to the temple Montreal. And then after like five days, he said, I gotta go back. He said, why didn't I stay here two weeks? I'm not going to go back anyway. I said, why? I'm liking this too much. I'm feeling so happy. If I get attached to this, then how will I go back home? They're not vegetarian. There's no all these things that I won't Fit in. I have to go quick, quick before I get to. He said, wow, what a. You know what a Maya's really got him. I couldn't convince him this day. So I can see it all figured out that from his mental point of view, sensual point of view. So I'm not going to be happy. He's happy. He realizes this is happening. Chanting so much identified with the body. Sometimes when people start to change, Hare Krishna frightened. They feel so happy about my wife. They don't know how to adjust. Then one yogi in my airport. She was practicing a Patanjali yoga system for two years in Pamicherry. Her guru passed away. She's from Switzerland. She came back to Mayapur. So she went actually to Calcutta. When you land in the airport in Calcutta, any foreigner they come up and say Mayapur, Mayapur. All my taxi drivers. So she mentioned like Krishna brought her right out to the holy nun. So I had some Swiss devotees and European devotees. I talked to her and after she was already yogi so they got her to do mantra meditation. That time it was a month of bhaisaka and we were doing the boat festival. After two, three days I talked to her and even by three days she said actually I never felt happier in the whole two years I meditated. I didn't feel as much spiritual energy. I believe now. But then she said but El. How is it possible? It's too easy. You got to work hard, you got to stutter, you got to suffer. It's too easy, you know, to check this and then in our brain because all the Maya body is told it's very dry and suffering and meditation. How can you feel so happy so fast? She doesn't put a doubt in her mind. It's too easy. So somehow sometimes this go like racketers so quickly that people get frightened even so much change. I was talking to one daughter of Devoli. She was saying what if you are chanting or if you say you don't have a taste but you're forcing yourself to change because you know what your duty, your parents want you to do but really you want to enjoy your senses. So he said well, you are looking from which perspective? It seems to me you're looking from the mental platform. The lust is in the senses, the mind and intelligence. So we tend to look from a mental platform. We're identifying what the mind and the body are. Just like some people say, I have a soul, I am the soul. If you make the decision, this is what I want to do. I am the soul, I am the Vaas here I decide what I want to think. My mind doesn't cooperate always as I got a rebellious mind. But what I want to think, I decide what I want to do. I decide based on what's good for me, not just my condition because of where I was born or what influence my peers are having on me or anything. What I want to do using my intelligence, I recite it. If you decide I want to be Krishna conscious and then you act like that your mind doesn't cooperate in this intelligence, why are you thinking of other things? But to get to that spiritual platform, to get out of the mental platform is where to heedal it. If we regularly chant here, engaged in devotional service, eventually gradually we do get fixed. We start to get happy because people are fixed up this mental platform somehow. How to inspire the children to want to change somebody's foreseeing they actually want to do that despite they want to be devotees, they want to taste this. I asked one devotee recently said a similar thing that why don't you have you ever tasted the ecstasy of chanting Harsha? But it talks to you about this happiness in chanting Hare Krishna Tears poured from your eyes and your hairs had not end as your voice got choked up. Gug, Gug, Gug. When you turned the holy name. Have you fainted in ecstasy, Rolled in the ground in ecstasy, your hair stood all on head. Why don't you desire that happiness? Why the popsicle happiness or the ice cream? Why not the super ecstatic happiness along with why not try for that happiness? Why Lord Chaitanya has come and shown this loving symptom so people can realize this happiness you can get. There's a much greater happiness than anything material. Even in the Bhagavata it says that the happiness of love for Ka is so great. If you take the massive happiness you can have in sense gratification of this planet, say you're the king of the earth. There's no more kings of earth than how they can be. As a Secretary General of the United Nations, I don't think that's very Paul Boswell. But say you were the king of the emperor of the Earth. All the sense gratification that the earth had also in a religious way that would be considered that your happiness for comparison sake is equal to the numer of one. Compared to that being a Gandharva, ten times more happiness. Gandharvas have more happiness, more fun in games, more good times than the earl human beings. And then I forget all the planets. You know, Chandra Kinnara, Siddha so many planets are there. Each one is 10 times more than the next. Then you get up to the Swarga which is higher than all these other planets. By the way. The Veda is talking about so many different types of living entities in this universe. Higher than the human beings. Lower than the human beings. But we're not seeing them. But they're there. So then we get up to Swargaluk Devas. They're 10 times more. The residents and Swarang are 10 times more than the other Lor Upadevas and his other higher planets. Indra means King of the Devas. He's like a hundred times more than the other Devas. That means king of the earth would probably be 100 times more Sanskritification than most people. Even here we just use one. That's just the basic thus times 10 times 10 times 10 times 10 times10 times 100 is Indra. Indra is like millions and millions of times more happiness, less problems. So it says that Brahma has a thousand times more happiness than anguish. So the happiness and Brahma Lok compared to the impersonal Brahman is not even a drop compared to those. All of the highest material happiness is not a drop compared to impressing on the latest. An impressive realization compared with Ka Bhakti is not even the impression amount of water a calf's hoof can hold a little cup, a shot glass, something like that compared to the ocean of happiness of Kishtavat. So we're willing to give up. You can't even put into the equation. We have many computer math experts here. One drop compared to the ocean. What would be the equation for that? And then times one cup compared to the ocean. I don't know if you have a computer begin with a calculator. How much more happiness we're giving up that happiness for some Tamasic Ajasika Sajkara Peace which is not even. It's not even equal to. It's not even one. It's maybe 01 happiness type of. Why don't we try for this spiritual happiness? Proceed with me. Wherever I become completely satisfied makes the rest of Prasantha Manasa to be happy. From happy to more happy to more happy. It happens quite quickly that this feeling happy in the mode of goodness from there it goes up higher and higher. When you get Lola Krishna it's so much higher than anything. It's inconceivable. We're missing. We're giving that up, right? So we can party with our friends. So we can sit in one of these taverns. And come on. What people are giving up the valuable jewels for these pieces of garbage? I don't know. What a great opportunity Lord Chaitanya. That's why I said Mochitaniya is the more Mahabha Dhanaya, Mahabharata super, super merciful. He's giving away. I mean it's like, you know, you can't. He's giving away. We discover how much more valuable is Mishna Bhagti and put into all the other happiness. People want to be happy. Why do people go to the resort here to be happy? Why do they play golf? Why do they go upstairs? Why they go. They're trying to be happy. They're trying to. But they're doing their charvanas Charvanatham chewing the chew. They're just trying to squeeze happiness out of these senses. Same senses, same things. Little different shape, little different, you know. See a circus scaling circuits tickle the eyes. See some fireworks grow called fireworks tickling the eyes. Yesterday was the Malaysian Games inauguration as the fireworks. So many fireworks. These things give some kind of pleasure. We don't show the Shofar Mr. Krishna or theatre in South India Madam Chennai Radhanta for as a service to Krishna. You can see also sometimes these things, you know, whatever all the different kind of happinesses there are in eternal life. To certain timidity and that jewel of spiritual happiness being given feeling like Chitandra. Somebody started handing out million dollar checks. You get a lot of people wanting to take from him. In Bangkok a couple years ago, I was passing through and they're giving out rice somewhat. It's like a monastery. And everyone who came get a packet of rice and a dhoni or something that was surrounded or something. And there was 5,000 people waiting at the gate. When they opened the gate there was a big stampede. People running just get a little packet of four kilos of rice or something. Two kilos, five kilos of rice. So people rushed in such a way in front. Some people tripped and fell over. Everybody ran over them. Eleven people or seven people were killed from little rice. Imagine if people were giving out million dollar check. Whoever watching. What is a million dollars compared to what Lord Shemchan is? If people knew the value of what Lord Shankar is giving would be a huge stack. All the religions say we should love God. But how to actually get in love with God is one of the amnesent things. Even we follow the Bhagavatam step by step by step. You have to go through a few steps here. This is now getting the Boat of immense and passion off from our heart getting happiness. Then we go the next step. Next step. Eventually we really get loving Krishna after many many steps. And Lord Shetanya is giving a feeling. Bhakti, we get so bigly. Don't even have to hear a thousand Bible interpretations in a few days of Lord. She said we should appreciate how merciful the Lord is trying to get his best. Maya is there the spoilers. Bhaktar, Ganachati, Pranashati. Those things are killed. Bhakti, we'll be discussing later today. Mayas trying to take this jewel away from us. Easy come, easy go, right? Somebody gets you a diamond worth of $50 million. What's this? Oh, there's a piece of glass to give you a hundred dollars for it. Oh really? 100 bucks. It was real. Just gave him $50 million for a hundred dollars. It's that kind of. I think we get the most valuable jewel and then Maya sees that person, stays with the jewel. He's out, she's out. Not going to be in the material world anymore. Come on. Quick, quick. She steps it up. Come on. I'll give you some. You know. 100 bucks. I'll give you 150. What do you want? I'll give you a nice girlfriend, boyfriend. Come on, I'll give you something. What do you want? Better job. If you don't give it up, I'm going to give you trouble. She tries all the tricks she can. But she can't take it away from you. You have to be tricked to give it to her. You have to give it to her. So we should be. That's why all the training is so. Don't get tricked. Don't give away your bhakti. Don't have it just taken away from you. Give it away. Leave it carelessly out. Someone takes it. You have to either give it away or you have to just kind of leave it neglected and walk away. And someone picks it up. Why don't you guard it? Ka will help you protect it. Nobody can take your Ka Bhakti from you if you just cling on the lotus feet of Krishna. That's why you should have Prabhupada and said we shall cling on the lotus seat of arbitrary hanging rolling gold somehow. Bhagavatam chanting. And once they get there, Lord Shetanya makes it work much faster than even normal. Some people are even minutes. Maybe somebody wants a devotee in a previous life. They see a picture of Krishna, they may start to cry. Maybe for some people they might not have been devotees in the past. So it takes a little more longer time before they feel the spiritual width. But if they stick with it by watching Tonya's mercy, by mercy, the process of Bhagavata that works. We should try to get this virtual happiness. It's not that difficult. Make a good effort there. We haven't really tried some people chanting one round for a long time. And Samaru tastes ecstasy. That's why we're trying to encourage, put a little more effort into it, take more rounds, have better realms be absorbed. And the other thing is a question of absorption, of getting immersed in ka consciousness. It's a bhakti yoga process. The yogis are meditating and they go into samadhi after many, many lifetimes or many, many years. Then they get into that spiritual bliss. We don't have to learn all those procedures of Yoga, but we need to get absorbed. We can get absorbed through a kirtan, let's say even a dancing a kirtan. Or absorbed through changing brain clearly and hearing. We saw our flight Cerny. Cutting the sabjis for the. If you're thinking this is for Krishna offering it to you, cutting these sabjis. Don't put your finger in your face. Be careful. Then you can also be absorbed. The Gopis and Vrindavan, they were churning the butter for ka. That's how they absorbed. Thinking about this butter is for ka. Chuna, heat the butter. Gopalaksha gomit lakeshana, churning butter. So God, we have to be absorbed in the service. We have especially programs to get our children and our youth absorbed. So somehow before, sooner than later, they can taste the spiritual bliss. Once they taste the bliss, then they'll be irrevocably fixed in devotional service. And by the age of 14, they have a taste of bliss. They get into teenage years. It's going to be tough. Bigger fight, consensus and more violence. Still, game's not over. Prahlad. He felt ecstasy in age of five from his birth. He was feeling it constantly feeling it. It's not an age thing. Don't have to be a particular age to feel it. It could be 100 or it could be 5. It's a question that who can absorb their mentality. So it can be done gradually by regularly hearing the Bhagavatam, hearing chanting, attending, serving the devotees step by step. Gradually can happen. Or someone can decide they want to jump into the water. Sometimes you put your toe in the water, it feels cold. You can go in and get used to it. You Want to get into the water up to our necks. And you dip it all the way, totally immersed into ka consciousness. Then you can feel. It used to be that we'd say you had to join the temple. Because everyone knew that if you joined the temple, you'd be fully immersed in devotional service. Because the temple commanders would keep you working from day to night, morning to night. And the Sankirta leader, temple president. So they don't give you any time. You have to be busy all the day. It was thought that people living in a congregation, since they don't have that level of immersion, therefore they're not going to taste the same ecstasy and they're not going to be fixed up. What we're trying to do is attain the congregation also. That they can also experience the same spiritual bliss. But it means that they have to push themselves. They have to engage themselves in devotional service. Some devotees are so fired up, they're preaching in nahla. They're preaching in bhakti, rickshaw. They're preaching in every spare moment that they have. Even though they're in the congregation, they don't have so many spare moments. But between the work and the family and the pitching, they have a full package. They're doing everything for Ka that they're feeling also the same spiritual happiness. See them? You can see them walking around smiling. You can see them with blissful faces. So it's not a thing that you have to be in a temple to feel this ecstasy. Temple is a good facility because there's so many. It's like being in the army, military. It's very regulated. But if someone really wants to, they can space out in a temple also. It's not that it's not possible, but some good facilities are there. We can also have the same thing. And this means that someone has to create that environment. I get up in the morning, offer a little incense to my deity, Take my showers in my Gayatri or stand by Rao Puja on the daily. Kiss my children on the cheek, say hello to the wife. Whatever you do, start off the day a little bit better. Everybody chant together. Take a little prasad, sit at the bus. Someone asks me, nick, can you chant Japan in the bus while I'm going to work? Hope so. What else are you going to do with the bus? Sing cinema song? Sure. We should chant chapa. Otherwise try to tell that to the students. Chen Chapa in the school bus. I said, oh, all my friends. Do they think I'm weird? Not cool. You should make it. There's a Story in American folklore of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer parents and Tom Sawyer told him, you have to paint the fence. And then so he made a plan. He started painting the fence and he was smiling. Oh, singing. Wow, this is so much fun. All the friends came around. Hey, what are you doing? Been having fun painting the fence. Really? We're going to go play. No, we can play him. I'm having fun. This is great. Then they all came up. Can we also do Yadav? Kristen all his friends are paying the fence. Actually, he didn't think it was fun in the beginning. He just thought he'd get everybody, chink everybody out and paying offense. They all came here. We're not tricking anybody. Chanting by Krishna is fun. It is blissful. And if you can show consistently you're happier than the other people, then even the students think, hey, this person really does something. Everything's possible. Actually the ka consciousness a realized process. It's realizing. It's for experiencing. It's like people say, well, look at, you know, I want to enjoy life now when I die, I worry about it because they think that this is all for getting pain in the end of life. So they are worrying about enjoying wealth. No. Lord Chitanya made ka practe experience and know you are actually feeling the translate happiness today. Tomorrow, just in a very short time, you can feel it. You don't have to wait till you die to go to heaven and things like that. No, you feel experience that translate lives in this lifetime. All these verses are telling us that you are faced with happiness. This is before you die. This is why you are living. While you are still here in this body, you're experiencing all these happiness. It's not something you only experience, you know, like a post dated check. I do everything faithfully at the end of life. When I die, I hope I get what's promised. That's what most religious desire. Everything is pale at the end. But we're showing that devotional service is so transcendental. It's directly not different from Krishna. We are spirit. Krishna is spirit. When we serve Ka, we are feeling the spiritual happiness. Now in spite of having a material body, bodily things are going on. But the happiness is coming from the soul. So we want the people to realize this. To realize it, they have to get into it. They just put their toe in the water and a little bit tall there. If I have to stop smoking eventually all these elemental things holding us back. Taiy try now, get absorbed. If somebody fully gets absorbed in Krishna Kara, it doesn't take years in you guys to start to experience some spiritual changes in consciousness. It depends how much you can observe prophet in one moment. If we really surrender to Krishna, we really cried to Ka with our whole being. Like a little baby cries for the mother when the baby is totally freaked out. If we could just really cry for him. Pick us up in one second. Just like the mother runs and picks up the baby. But we are kind of half hearted about anyways and we're not like fully fully. I saw this one drama in Russia and then Radhafri gave a blessing and then he said, okay, you can go back to. Then the Krishna kept coming and saying, I'm ready to take him back to God. I said, I'm not ready yet. I want to get married first. I want to do this first. Putting it off. I got to pay my debts first. I got to let my daughter married. Something was always coming up, wasn't ready to go back to God. We have so many things and these attachments. So how do we get rid of these attachments here? All these kind of subtle attachments of all ignorance and which are binding us in the material world to automatically get cleaned up just by performing this devotional service. You don't have to worry about all these things. You just chant Hare Krishna. You do the best you can. You try to avoid all the tenses and sinful activities. Chant Hare Krishna, do your duty as whatever your ashram is. And then the very grossest kind of attachments which could bind you in the Mitchell world, those roots which are tangled down are very suddenly purified so that the relationships are on a higher level. You're going to go back to godhead, your wife's going to go back to godhead, your children, whatever, they go back to godhead. Why there's somebody behind 14 generations. Come away, don't have to worry. I do want my back. So we hope that the audience see how this is a very mystical process, a very practical process. Get absorbed in it. Those who don't live in a temple, you have to create that environment where you get fully absorbed. You have to go sometimes, you know, there's two mental somebody can say I'm doing all this service. Why nobody else is doing this service? Pastor always that's that kind of this other mentality that can I have more service going and asking is there any service for me? How can I help? We're not competing like that. Who can do less service the other way with it? The point is, who can be more absorbed? What's your capacity? Someone Else may have a limited capacity. You may have a greater capacity. Work up to your capacity. Make your schedule. See how you can be fully absorbed in Ka consciousness the whole day. How many minutes a day you're spacing out. Everything you do should be something you're connected to Ka in this way. If you're fully absorbed throughout the day. It's like there was one lady she saw three hours in the middle of the day. I cleaned the house, the kids are in school and husband's in the work. I don't have anything to do. Let me go out and preach. Go to a door to door in the condominiums and find ladies to preach to. This way. She set up something like a dozen bhakti miksha groups in different condominiums in the middle of the day. I didn't have to end in class. He has time for breaking. So it's up to you. Means more responsible. You have to make it nobody. There's no temple commander looking over your shoulder. What you do, how absorbed you are, how happy you are in Krishna Consciousness is going to inspire your children. Whether they want to follow your example to a large degree. Of course children have a lot of influence from friends. So that's why I was talking. I forgot to mention to the animal delegates conference that back to this pandemic that we have in kl. Somehow this program needs to be expanded throughout the whole of Malaysia. Be really well organized like we have in England. So many children youths in England are this Panda Nasena program that it saved many of them from destroying the stream. Because they have devotee friends and they're associating with, playing with chanting Hare Krishna. When to bring different programs with distributing the saga that orphanages, old folks different programs together that just keep them busy. It's so constructive. Krishna conscious way. We have lots of fun and taste a lot of Ka Conscious nectar. The kind of program either programs from all the different levels of our community. So that everybody can get this taste of Krishna Consciousness as early as possible. It's there for the heavens. The Gorchitand is wants to give it to us. If we don't help people facilitate for people who have not enrolled to taste it. Then we will need a disservice for them. We hope that during this festival everyone's going to be fully absorbed. If you have any questions today in the afternoon leave a question answer period. I think there's no time. Thank you very much. Thank you for watching our videos. Be sure to subscribe to our channel.
