The following is a morning class given by His Holiness Jaya Pataka Swami Maharaj on November 18, 2023 in Sridharmapur, India. The class begins with a reading from The Srimad Bhagavatam 3rd Canto chapter 1.

Verse SA.

Speak.

Chapter 1 questions by.

You.

Thus being pierced by arrows through his ears and afflicted to the core of his heart, Vigura placed his bow on the door and met his brother's palace.

He was not sorry, for he considered.

The acts of the external energy to.

Be supreme for all.

The pure devotee of the Lord is never perturbed by an awkward position created by the external energy of the Lord. In Bhagavad Gita, chapter 3, text 27, it is stated Prakrite Kriyamanani Gunagarmani Sarvashama the conditioned soul is absorbed in material existence under the influence of different modes of external energy absorbed in the false ego. He thinks that he is doing everything by himself. The external energy of the Lord, the material nature is fully under the control of the supreme Lord, and the conditioned soul is fully under the grip of the external energy. Therefore, the conditioned soul is fully under the control of the law of the Lord, but due to illusion only he thinks himself independent with his activities. Duryodhana was acting under such influence of the external nature by which he would be vanquished. At the ultimate end, he could not accept the sound advice of Vidura, but on the contrary, he insulted that great soul who was the well wisher of his whole family. Vidura could understand this because he was a pure devotee of the Lord, in spite of being very strongly insulted by Duryodhana's bloods. We do not receive that Duryodhana, under the influence of Maya, the external energy, was making progress on the path toward his own ruination. He therefore considered the acts of the.

External energy to be supreme.

Yet he also saw how the internal energy of the Lord helped him in that particular situation. The devotee is always in a renounced temperament because the worldly attractions can never satisfy him. Vidura was never attracted by the royal palace of his brother. He was always ready to leave the place and devote himself completely to the transcendental loving service of the Lord. Now he got the opportunity by the grace of Duryodhana, and instead of being sorry at the strong words of himself. He thanked them from within because it gave him the chance to live alone in a holy place and fully engaged in the devotional service of the Lord. The word Ghatab gyatha without being sorry is significant here because Vidura was relieved from the tribulations which trouble every man entangled in material activities. He therefore thought that there was no need to defend his brother with his vow because his brother was meant for ruination. Thus he left the palace before Duryodhana could act. Maya the supreme synergies. The Lord acted here both internally and externally. Thus ends the bhakti vedanta purport. Chapter 1 In the Matter of Questions by Vidura Text 16.

On.

Volume.

Ahamkara Nyantranadin Darpole Torment Are Venus our Sambhavi Chilo say.

Who? So here you see how was a great devotee. He was insulted.

So here we see how Vidura, who was a great devotee, was insulted. But he didn't get upset.

I think all the devotees present here, each and every one of them, at some point of time have to hear something unpleasant.

I saw how many people have heard someone criticize.

How many people have heard someone criticized.

So here I see that result. Now we tell the truth.

So here we see that Vidura, he only told the truth. For that Juryodhana threatened him that he should be thrown out.

But he left on his own accord.

He didn't feel sorry.

He didn't feel sorry.

Didn't.

You understand that the material energy.

He could understand that the material energy was working.

I've done that. Lay it down. Push the dry out.

Could not grasp this matter. And therefore, by the influence of the mode of ignorance, he was speaking all of these words.

So this is a very practical example.

Raise their hand. But some kind of insulting thing they have to hear.

Everyone, almost everyone raised their hand that they had to hear some kind of insulting thing. It's not you. Even Vidura he had to hear. But he was not sorry. He took it as the arrangement of the material energy. So he decided to take this opportunity to completely surrender to Krishna.

Generally, devotees, when they come into a situation like this, they usually become very disturbed. But Vidura, he did not become upset.

We have to have that kind of transcendental vision.

We have to have that kind of transcendental vision.

Six and stones and rape my bones.

So in English there is a saying that sticks and stones. Sticks and stones can break my bones, can break my bones, but birds can never hurt me.

English detected Pramalasan J.

Well actually the verbs that such things.

Actually in this verse it says that he said such things. That it was like putting arrows in Vidura's ears.

Actually the stranger says something don't bother us. But if someone close hurts us.

Actually if strangers say that it may not bother us. But if someone close says it then it may hurt our past.

When I first joined the movement at that time there was a seminar that was held.

When I first came to India.

So that time I went right across the river and kept down my way down.

I remember at that time across the river some kids say.

Against all things.

They had some movie where people were taking some ganja and some things.

Cigarette.

Now I don't hear anyone.

Now we don't hear any more of that.

Actor called Sorry.

And the actor he apologized. He said he's sorry that he didn't.

So different ways material energy inspires people to say all kinds of things.

So in different ways material energy inspires people to say different offensive things.

So.

We have to understand that this involves the nature working.

So we have to understand that this is the three modes of material nature working.

I can't say.

Now in general, for the general public we do different good, different types of good work.

So generally there is a lot of appreciation.

Whether one feel is consulted or praised.

Whether one feels insulted or praised. We have to be equal.

Even some of the presidents in South India are asking what you do if someone insults you.

So some of our presidents in South India they were asking me what do you do if someone insults you? At that time this example didn't come to my mind. But I thought of Lord.

Hit on the head with wine.

Lord Nithyananda was hit on the head with a wine bottle.

That I am not lying. Just because you fall in the blade, does that mean I don't give you Kaira?

But he said Jagayan Maday, just because you caused me to bleed, does that mean that I will not give you Krishna Prema.

Nithyananda was so patient.

Lord Nithyananda was so patient.

He was caused to bleed and still giving out.

Krishna Prairie he was caused to bleed. Still he was giving out. Krishna Prema.

Krishna.

Premier, this is the mercy of Lord Nithyananda. Where will you find so much mercy, so much compassion?

We are working with the Panchata.

So we are working with the Panchata and his representative AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Sriva program. So Lord Chaitanya had predicted that his name would be chanted in every every town and village of the world. He wanted to make that true. When he told the sadhus in Vrindavan his plan.

They said means the civilized world which is India and over there in the west. This will not happen.

Prabhupada had such a vision that the whole world would be Krishna conscious.

Have this vision.

So Srila Prabhupada had this vision.

Well, the vision alone he actually put it to action.

He didn't have that vision alone, but he put it to action.

He said if he is brought to Mayapur and if he sees Mayapur he will become completely surrendered to iskcon.

We should be very grateful that Srila Prabhupada had gone through such great difficulties to spread the Krishna Consciousness movement.
