Robot and keep. Sean can hand out the cards for the questions in the meantime. Now it's nine o'.

Clock.

Nine o'. Clock. Oh, so this is for a few minutes. Of course I would like to go to ninth. Or maybe I've go for, you know, a festival and I just puja. But that doesn't mean in any way that I don't allow the devotees in LA or any of Atlanta or any other places South America. It's just the best of my guru doctor Dish. So it's quite natural. But of course I'm committed to stay here as long as it takes to get healthy. Or if they see that this treatment. This is their treatment somewhere else. I hear that I shaken up today when someone said I didn't love them. I think they're leaving for the. What they call the. Which is August. I used to come regularly to the Rathiata. They used to send. There was a committee of roadies and they used to send the reactor. But I haven't been invited specifically to the Rath yet for. I can't remember how many years. Not anybody's festival. They expect everyone to show up, but it's not. Anyway, I don't like or loud or anything like that. They do what is in Los Angeles. It's nothing personal. Like in Argentina. I tried it all also in Uruguay. I know that he goes much to these places. A little bit Argentina, but not so much Uruguay. I try to help Argentina usually try to collect sometimes which a lot of spend on the garlands and the bogo. But they did something for the fm. I tried to go all the places. Now I need to suggest that as I get older that I show less faces and people should come to see me. I don't know when all these days officially begins. Last night we got a phone call from Russia. I don't know exactly where. Someone near lying in Moscow. They had 300 devotees with him for a lucky rickshaw vessel. And one person who was the regional secretary for the Golden Circle around Moscow had agreed he wanted to incorporate Bhukhti Sedition and Bhakti Riksha together. So anyway, Angelica Joaquin Angelica. She helped. They had some translators, but she helped and we talked to them. So they were very enthusiastic. They said they had a psych. And then it's a 20 degrees centigrade with her. And as soon as a general came out on his sleigh, it started to snow, you see, and snow is frozen rain. So if the rain is out in India, and that's okay because it's hot, but it rains in some other places. The season run, yeah, the rain turns the snow. So the people, they used to snow, but they came out with the Lord James Oven Slave Rath Yatra, Winter Rath Yatra, Winter Rathyatra and Samara Ratatsa. So I got the idea some years ago that people in Russia for five, six months a year, four or five, it's snowing and cold there. So there the mothers carry their children in the slaves and sleds and stuff. So I thought, why even hello winter Raqueta? Because in these cold countries they have snowing, they have sledding, globe sledding, so many different winter sports. So I don't have winter, etc. So it's a bit unusual. But there are these places and you understand they adapt to the winter, adapt to the cold weather as part of their lives. They don't think it's something. And technically the ice cream is right now I was surprised by freezing cold, snoring and eating an ice cream, right? So they said they dedicated the right hatter to me. I'm very grateful for that. And we had a rocket. The first year they took juggernaut on the falling point and this year they took on a sled. So I was very happy that they did that. In Russia they had called Russian vanya. It's like very similar to the Spanish word bla. No, but it means that you go into a summer and then you come out and roll in the snow. And then it's 20, 15 degrees. So it very good for blood pressure and opens your toes. And while you're in the song, they beat you with what's it called? Burst sleeves or spruce leaves sung around leaves. So you really get hot. You get so hot, you're super hot. You go out in the cold, you don't feel cold, you feel normal. It's a strange feeling. It's -15, 20 outside and you feel normal. You feel like just normal with the snot. After about five minutes it starts to feel cold. The other kid do that about four, five, six times. And at the end of it my blood pressure would be normal without medication. And he's very much tingling all over and relaxed, ready for nice sleep. So if you haven't experienced Russian Dhanya, well, you should try it. So are you ready with your questions? Dear, dearest Guru Maharaj could you please.

Give me the blessings to serve you and Rukmini Jwarakadis with their devotees. Thank you. Your servant Jarak Kirti Devidasi.

Well.

Of.

Course everyone has blessings in this regard But I just guessed here he has also been humble and make somehow make friends with the or at least you humble the authorities of the existence Otherwise they can take her harsh decisions. But I hold you in salam any observations and be able to serve the.

What is tolerance in the mode of goodness the servant to sh.

Is that accent in the law there certain things are mentioned in the dea Goodness and passion.

Yes, on the left.

Here signs work anytime. Any other questions?

Any questions on the Internet?

There was one how can we develop an appreciative mood in our attempts to serve the supreme Lord rather than being in a very criticizing mood? This is Rasa Fria Gopika I'm not sure from where how can we develop an official mood but if we're humble at these things we are called by then I naturally will be very appreciative all of your silver commercial that give me a chance to serve. We're very appreciative but we're very proud of a browner and a very great personality. What do you think? Do you want to get any ordinary menial service? I will not do any menial service meditas I only do very exalted Sir John exalted in voting. Then you won't feel any appreciation to give this service. We're coming begging. Please give me a service. Whatever service we get, we should be happy. Oh, I got this service. I can make garlands, I can sweep the floor. The great king Amrish, he would speak the floor. He was the emperor of the world. He had thousands of people, had the whole army that his electric hall but he was anxious to sweep the floor before the deities. He didn't shine or shut down. I will not speak the floor. Who do you think I am? I am not the ordinary personality. No. Oh, speak the Lord. Thank you very much. I appreciate this service. I am so grateful. So the part of Krishna we can take anything else? It doesn't matter, it's a questionnaire. Just plainly how to understand about the action and inaction in action increase our conscience.

Okay, can you explain action and inaction in Krishna?

Do something for Krishna. We're not producing any karma therefore it's inaction although we're active similarly we may not do anything whichever way sleep inaction or self producing karma. So there's action inaction so anything you look with question it's inaction and everything can do it for a while. Even if it's inaction, it's action in the sense that it's producing karma. You want to produce karma. You want to receive karmic reaction toxin, bhakti, Angelica parama. So the secret is act in Krishna consciousness.

Hooray.

Tomorrow they're having a Sankirto and festival in San Diego. I would like to go with. They already are working for the Unitarian Church on Sunday. So if you want to come back in the San Diego. A bit tough for me. So I threw the San Diego later. Although they wanted me to give out the awards and I stood there in the sense that the warden who made the program didn't first find out what were the other programs. What weeks are. The last week of January would be much better. Anyway, they organized Lispa and the Unitarian Church said they can't see change down. They make their schedule for one month and send it out to everyone. So I'm here. Any question?

There is one trouble.

10. Okay, we receive last questions. 10, 9, 8.

You know, I had to go to my nuts.

Can you please say a few sentences.

On the Uddhava Gita, please? Sakhakrishna Bhagavan. Can you please say a few sentences on the Uddhava Gita, please? Satta Krishna, Bharavindhas.

Ujjava Gita is a very nice look. There's a section of the Sriniva. It's very nice because it has Krishna giving his own instruction to Udhava. This is a fifth sentence. It's called Udhav Gita because Urdhulla was the only person who came. I could see Krishna before he left the world. And he was. He and one other. He was asking our questions and Krishna was getting answers. So let's describe as Ujua Akita in a sense not to hold our Gita.

But.

It'S got some very esoteric questions on Bhakti yoga. So it's a good reading. It's in the 12 chapter, I think. Although the 12 can do all this, you know. So it's recommended to rewrite Mehram. Of course you should read all the first candles failures before.

Two more questions. How to be humble to the authorities if they do not behave the right way. That's from Jagatriti Nivedasi.

Because there are authorities. As it is easily humble. Because we know if you're humble. Well, you heard out of the 10. So her authority is somehow. Then you get the Hebrew in the right way. Always very subjective. What's right. What's wrong? And so being a devotee against we have to behave with whoever the authorities are in the universe. We think that there are gaming appropriately. We can still call them and ask later a question where how many? I said.

She gave it. Here's a translation in which we can say about tolerance. That's text 8 to 12, chapter 13, in which Krishna declares what all our knowledge. So in that the fourth one is humility, pridelessness, non violence and tolerance. Humility, pridelessness, non violence. Tolerance, simplicity approaching a bona fide spiritual master. Cleanliness, steadiness, self control. Renunciation of the objects of sense gratification, absence of false ego. The perception of the evil of birth, death, old age and disease. Detachment, freedom from entanglement with children, wife, home and the rest. Even mindedness amid pleasant and unpleasant events. Constant and unallowed devotion to me. Aspiring to live in a solitary place, detachment from the general mass of people. Accepting the importance of self realization and philosophical search for the absolute truth. All these I declare to be knowledge. And besides this, whatever there may be, is ignorance.

The question was, I think, what was telling, what witnessed. So of course a teller is an s victim acknowledge and religion identifying specific tolerance and witness. They didn't find in any case of tying things. I don't know if there's a verse or not, but anything in terms of madness and passion and madness rather than enviousness and laziness and such. So generally they learn more goodness in talent. If they're talent that would be at the wrong time for the wrong reasons. And on the passion is the mature gain. So like someone tolerates. They are going to college so many material things because they want to get some material of benefit. But if they tolerate a higher purpose for the pleasure of Krishna or Dharma, then it's an all goodness or pure goodness. That's what I just think. Hare Krishna. Last question. What's the last one?

How to keep our spiritual life fresh and not get bored by routine activities. Your servant, Tejaga Ramji Devidas.

Yes, we are doing our TV because, you know, as Nara Todi. And we feel like, you know, I guess we could feel bored at adrenaline service. Because you know, you really. You love the person that you're doing it for. Even if it's routine. If you love the deities, if you love the guru, if you love, then even routine activities take abnormal on me. So the whole question is like Lord Chaitanya, he was watching the rotis and he was taking flowers and making garments. And maybe this is like a routine thing, but for him there was ecstasy that he was able to help Raharani to meet her garland. So it really depends on the consciousness whether something is routine and boring or whether something is ecstatic, transcendental. But of course you're looking at activities which are challenged, then it's a lot easier. So and that's what Prabhupada said. He made a mind of a project that his senior disciples would have a challenge and they would feel the challenge in building the mind of a Singh Mighty temple so laid up. I guess if you just saw that, okay, I have to be the term president of South Sydney. I have to see it. Roddy, get up on the art and do the art is right and I give the routine. But you think that I have all these millions of people that I have to give Krishna consciousness. And you think about how to do it in the plans, in the program. Then it becomes very exciting. So a lot depends on how much a person takes. Like if someone wants to go out and over interchange, maybe do some pioneering work that's very challenging, at the same time taking a lot of austerity. So some people want to have like a routine service. They can nine to five jobs, so to speak, they can do their service, others they want. But the downside is only that service becomes routine and boring. Whereas one takes up a challenge, then it becomes more exciting. So it's really up to one how much you earn your service. Tika is a challenge how to make it better. Like someone can speak the floor.

The.

Mind can be somewhere else and someone else can speak the floor. I think I wanted to sweep this poor make it as clean as possible so that the deities of faith, Lord Chaitanya, goodness of Rajna, he collected more dirt than all the other Vaishnavas combined. Because although the Gundisha temple was a routine work, but he took it as an act of love. So he did it in a very special way.
