Krishna Krishna Rama Sri Madhya Sudhana.

Bharat La Devotees Today we'll continue with the reading from chapter one and today's sub. Today's subtitle is Worship of the Lord is essential at an early age and four reasons for Endeavor in Bhajan Jadikona Mana Kazakh this is right from the beginning years when knowledge arises. Worship of the Supreme Lord is essential from the time when the knowledge of man arises. From that very time onwards, it is auspicious to be engaged in pleasing the Supreme Lord. One who is sufficiently intelligent should use the human form of the body from the very beginning of life. In other words, from the tender age of childhood. Practice the activities of devotional service, giving up all other engagements. The human body is most rarely achieved and although temporary like other bodies, it is meaningful because in human life one can perform devotional service. Even a slight amount of sincere devotional service can give complete perfection. Therefore, while in material existence, a person fully competent to distinguish wrong from right must endeavor to achieve the highest goal of life. As long as the body is stout and strong and is not embarrassed by dwindling. And now we enjoy the pleasures of the world. Later, in old age, we will please the Lord. We will please the Lord. If we think like this, nothing, nothing will happen. Time is scarce from the day the knowledge of the duty is known. From that day onwards, it's necessary to take to the practice of pleasing the more. Especially, human life is very rare and unstable. This is the continuation after many, many births and deaths. One achieves a rare human form of life which, although temporary, affords want the opportunity to attain the highest goal, highest perfection. Thus, a sober human being should quickly endeavour for the ultimate perfection of life. As long as his body, which is always subject to death, has not fallen down and died. After all, sense gratification is available in the most abominable species of life. Whereas Ka consciousness is possible only for a human being, it is impossible to tell when death will happen. It is wrong to think that the practice of believing something more cannot be done during childhood. You see in the history that Dhruva and Prahlada received the grace of the Supreme Lord at a very young age. If a human being is able to do any work, then if the human endeavor, they can do that work. Is there any doubt about this? Especially what can be practiced from an early age gradually becomes natural behavior. So Prada, he was put in the school by his father. The school of the materialistic features.

Listen to other students whenever it was possible.

He was preaching to the other students.

No longer.

Parents or demons, even though their parents were demons, he taught them that they should chant Hare Krishna. So it's not that one cannot preach until you're old.

As long as you always start.

As soon as you understand, you can preach. Chaitanya's son mother is only 12 years old, but he distributes books every day. So normally one is encouraged to take up Krishna consciousness even in a young age. The young age.

It'S very common to understand the thing right and wrong.

So the human may be part of your demonic. It's very easy to understand what's right and wrong.

Start to do things with your own free will.

You can do things. You can start to do things with your own free will.

They have to follow their instincts, the.

Animals, they follow their instincts. You can't tell a lion not to be a lion. You can tell a human being all kinds of things.

Human birth gives us the opportunity.

And the human birth gives us the opportunity to render devotional service.

Sooner or later.

So sooner or later we are going to leave the body and go through death. So we just heard a devotee, he got some Krishna conscious book and he started to preach. His whole vision of life changed because. Because he was reading the book.

So he asked for initiation.

So he asked for initiation for me. For me.

He was on the death row.

So he was on the death row. Fine.

Since he was following all the principles.

Since he was following all the principles, I said I could initiate him. So. But one thing he should do is.

Hard for.

He should fight for the court. So he should fight for the court.

There was a system that applied for Martin majority first.

So there is a system. There's a system if you're in the death room, if you apply for the pardon, if the jail keepers approve it, then you can take life in imprisonment.

So he was willing to die. He just preached because of his free will.

He was willing to die. He was preaching because that was his free will. He preached to prisoners, to the jail keepers, to everybody. The jail keepers appreciated him and gave him a positive recommendation and death penalty to life imprisonment. So now. So now he's in his life. He's preaching to all the prisoners and all the jail keepers.

Gives us.

The human form of life, gives us some opportunity. B. Namrak Translation four reasons for endeavor in Bhajan the first in order to please the Lord, nothing is unobtainable for devotees who have satisfied the supreme personality of Godhead, who is the cause of all causes, the original source of everything, the Lord is a reservoir of unlimited spiritual qualities. The devotees Therefore, who are transcendental to the modes of material nature, what is the use of following the principles of religion, economic development, sense gratification and liberation, which are all automatically obtainable under the influence of the modes of nature? We devotees always glorify the lotus feet of the Lord and therefore we need to ask for anything in terms of dharma, karma and kama, aldha and moksha, religion, economic development and sense gratification. These are described in the Vedas as three Vargas or three ways to salvation. Within these three categories are education and self realization, ritualistic ceremonies performed according to the Vedi injunction, the logic, the science of law and order, and the various means of earning one's livelihood. These are all external subject matters of study in the Vedas and therefore I consider them material. However, I consider surrender to the lotus feet of the Lord Vishnu to be transcendental. There are four reasons seen as to why people endeavor according to various situations. Fear, expectation, sense of duty and attraction. Those who worship the Supreme Lord, fearing hell, lack of wealth, suffering and death, are excited by fear and worship belonged. It should be said that those who fear for the sake of prosperity in the world, praying for material pleasure, worship, hurry up, are driven by expectation or hope of material enjoyment to worship the Lord. But there is such a pure happiness in the worship of the Lord that at first they engage in it out of fear or expectation. And finally many people abandon fear and hope and become attached to pure worship. Those who can worship the creative Creator with gratitude are driven by sense of duty and engage in such action. Those who are even though not motivated by fear, expectation or sense of duty naturally love to worship the Lord and move to do so by attraction. The instinct by which the mind rushes towards any object as soon as seeing it before any reasoning is called love attraction. Those who as soon as they think of the supreme Lord, the instinct of attraction arises in their heart. They worship the Lord according to love attraction.

All the reasons for our spirit.

So different motivation for worshiping the Lord is given. Here one is afraid of hell when we have sense identification. So when we have sense certifications and desire for some material things. So here someone may feel attraction to worship the Lord which is called raga. So different people are motivated by different things.

First off, he engages the people and his devotional service.

And Krishna he engages people in his devotional service. We become close to Him. So.

You have different people attracted for different reasons.

So we have different people attracted for different reasons. Actually one is attracted out of spontaneity to deserve to next most auspicious what's that image? In Prahat's case they thought that there must be a Vaishnava who's teaching him. Prahlad's father giving order. If any Vaishnava goes near to the school, shoot him on side, kill him.

Required. And there were eight was.

So because PR had this knowledge from before. And so nobody was coming by and speaking to him. So consciousness demons they are against anybody who's teaching Krishna consciousness preaching Krishna consciousness.

If you're in this situation where you're feeling a duty to tell people about Krishna.

In this situation he was feeling the duty tell people about Krishna. People are objective. They have to be clever in how to present it. This is.

Doesn'T really inspire someone may tricks or attract to fix.

These are some some of the different reasons. One maybe attracted to peace about Krishna. No. We'll continue with the new topic tomorrow. You were told that there was another person in Singapore who had the death penalty. And he got permission to attend the class. And by attending the class is his whole vision changed. He's no longer afraid of death. He realized that.

They ask the judges when you kill me, can I help a lot of you in chest.

So he asked the jail keepers when execute me, can I have the Bhagavad Gita on my chest? They agreed, why not?

He lost all men.

So he left holding the Baba to his chest. Was telling me some of these jail preaching.

We have many devotees. We want to use our human body please the Lord.

We have many devotees and we want to use our human life to please the Lord.

He writes this.

He is going through these methods of devotion service. Some people they are motivated by fear.

Had a dream once or someone. Once I read my dream camera said I was very afraid.

So someone came and confessed to me that I witnessed some mystery and very afraid. The ambulance is torture me.

Help me. Help.

Help me. Help me.

So some people may be motivated by this fear.

So some people may be motivated by this fear.

Some people.

To some people they attracted to. Krishna has given us so much. So I owe him Some.

Maybe spontaneously attracted to serving the Lord.

Someone may be spontaneously attracted to serving the Lord.

Whatever our particular motivation is Whatever our.

Particular motivation is how serving the Lord is the real purpose of human life. That's the key.
