This is a recorded Bhagavad-gītā class by Jaya Pataka Swami (with interjections by Ananda Nimai Das) focusing on three verses that explain activity under the three modes of material nature (tamas/ignorance, rajas/passion, sattva/goodness). The speaker contrasts the behaviors characteristic of each mode and recounts a devotional story (Narada seeking dust from devotees' feet) to illustrate pure devotional service and selfless concern for Krishna.
I will try to move, I will try to speak Bengali most of the time because there is a Gita congregation.
Going on right now as an 18 month slope.
These three shlokas, these three verses explain how the activities in the different modes take place.
Over the Hinds of our kids.
We see that those who are in the mode of ignorance, they are mostly lazy and they do not regard for any scriptural injunctions and more or less they don't care for anything.
Rajas or say.
Where the mode of passion is prominent there a person is only interested in his own self and his self interest is the most prominent. That if one finds enemies, etc. He does not care how to deal with it or what the scriptures say about dealing with such kind of situations. He does not care for those who are in the mode of goodness. They abide by their religious principles and by their scriptural injunctions and they follow the regular principles given in the scriptures. And they are worried about what is going to happen to them in the future. The persons who are in the mode of pure goodness, they try to work for the satisfaction of the supreme Lord Sri Krishna and to please him they want to work.
Each revival.
They do not care for their own good or bad, but they are simply interested in satisfying the satisfying the supreme Lord Sri Krishna, the Gopis or the damsels of the land of Raja. They are the darkmost of all the devotees.
And then Nar on Dharka table I see Bishops Sati at Dhaka One day.
Naradapuruni met Lord Sri Krishna at the Dwarka city.
They are Krishna Kacha regards for it as they cannot.
He asked the supreme Lord Sri Krishna as to his well being how he was. He said that I have a headache. How can you be cured? Asked Nardami.
Or I want to shine unto the darker because what is Vatana is coming. I am a water Lord.
If I get the dust from the feet of my pure devotees, then my pain will go away. Shaita of Suryahara he thought that this should not be a problem since Krishna has knew innumerable devotees. So he immediately went to Rukmini Devi.
On time, wrote a chanter and asked.
For the dust from her lotus feet. He is my husband. How can a wife give the dust from her feet on the head of her husband? This is not proper. I cannot do this.
I will go to the hell.
I am in aura Java. In this way Indian approached many many of his queens and every single one of them replied in the same manner. He went to many of his devotees. Everybody asked about the well being of Lord Sri Krishna. And he replied y. Yes, but he has a headache.
Oh, such a cool crowd. All right. He hurt the body.
Oh, that's very bad. What can we do for you? Just give a little dust from him. Go to sleep and then I will put it on his head. Oh no, no, no. I cannot do that. I'll go to. How can I give the dust from my feet on the head of the Supreme Lord? I will not do this. No, no.
Thank you, thank you.
I cannot do. How? What is this? How can I ask for such a thing? I will not do this.
Why consign.
He went to everyone and everyone replied in the same manner.
The same Hathasha Gir Krishna Bachan.
Then he went. He flew into the sky and went back to Lord Sri Krishna and met him. Krishna said, have you brought me the dust from my devotees? Then Nanaki n directed the whole story to him. I can't understand what I should do. I do not know where I should go. Whom should I approach for this? He said, you go to Rajadhan, land of Raja and you meet the Gopis. Then he went and he met Radharani and the milkmaid of renown, Sir Krishna.
Salvador Riya.
And they asked about the well being of Krishna.
Say Rallah Naravi Rallah A Krishna Master.
Judge Navajo Naratumali said, Krishna has a headache.
Oh, so you too, bro, how are you going to die?
Oh, that's terrible. What can we do? If he gets the dust from his from the feet of his devotees, then he will become well again. No, no. Take. Take however much you need. Take. Hurry up. Take it. You're not afraid? You're going to go to hell. Allah. If we have to go and go to hell, that's okay. But Krishna is having a headache. Krishna is suffering from a headache. We cannot bear to hear that Krishna is suffering in this way.
Die only.
Gentlemen, this is the activity at the level of pure goodness where a devotee only thinks about the happiness and the happiness and the well being of the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna.
Hello.
So we see that works in the mode of goodness are closer to Ka.
SATA.
But pure goodness is on the transcendental level. If you have any questions, you can place your questions with Sapsamai only. My dear Guru Maharaj, please accept my humble obediences. I am a physically handicapped and very, very much suffering person. I am a physically handicapped person who is always suffering from bodily distress. But I see that you are also physically very, very sick. But despite the sickness, you are always immersed in transcendental bliss. And you do not seem to be suffering. And not only that, you are always engaged in making other people happy. How is this possible? How is this impossible feat possible by you? Can you please tell us the secret so that I can also feel a little enthusiastic about life? Your humble disciple Ananda Nimai Das from Jalanath Mandir Rajapush Ananda Nimai. He cannot move around so he is at his and he is listening over the FM radio. His father brought the question on his behalf of Bhaksha Raja. Srila Prabhupada took to vigorous tribulations, accepted a lot of tribulations in order to reach Ka consciousness at our doorstep. And Srila Prabhupada said that if you feel indebted about my gift then you can also do the same and try to take this Ka Consciousness and distribute it to others. And by the mercy of the Supreme Lord, I was at the doorstep of death. But somehow or other I was saved. I came back taking this opportunity. As long as I live, I am trying to serve my Gurudev Srila Prabhupada. We have a lot of questions from other previous days. Sam, this is from Murali Mohini Devidasi JPS Mayapur. Are you here?
