Devotees Today we will continue with the commentation with the reading of Sri Chaitanya Shikshamita by Sri Lachidananda Bhaktiwani Thakur. Today's chapter is entitled Raag Bhajan is pure and its nature is an identity.

Boy.

Shamsharik Shukjanak Baur Grohalk Radh Bhajan is pure, its nature and identity those worshipers who engage in the worship of God through fear, expectation and sense of duty, their worship is not pure. RD Bhagavatam 7 01:31 My dear King Yudhishthira, the Gopis by their lusty desires comes up on his fear all belongs to the transcendental broadcasting My dear King Yudhishthir, the Gopis by their lusty desires comes up by his fear of Shishupala and other kings by envy the Yaddish by their family relationship with Krishna. We ponder us by a great affection for Krishna and we the general devotees by our devotional series have obtained the the mercy of Krishna. Those who devote themselves to the Bhajan of the Supreme Lord in Ragnar are true worshippers. There is an intimate relationship between living entity and the Lord. When Ragnar arises, their relationship is identified. That relation is eternal, but it remains hidden to the living entity bond in material bondage it is manifested when the opportunity is available in the same way as fire is manifested when match is rubbed or flint stone is brushed. Their relationship is revealed through Sadhana. Their relationship has been revealed through many by worshipping by the sequences of fear, expectation and duty. First performed Hari Bhajana with the hope of attaining the kingdom, but gradually performing Sadhana raga arose in his heart due to that pure relationship and he no longer accepted the boon of material happiness.

Are the particulars of the stone.

Shishipal and Dantavakan were the doorkeepers of.

Vishnu, were cursed by the four Khars.

And they were cursed by the four Karmas.

Asada had a choice three birds as an enemy listener as some Bose as.

A so they had a choice three births as a animal of Vishnu and seven birds as a devotee.

I want to get back to the sinners guiding against.

So they Wanted to get back to their service as the guardian gatekeepers of Vaikuntha.

So they took the three births.

So they took the three births.

And I saw Rahada and deeper relationship with Krishna.

Actually they had deeper relationship with Krishna, right?

To rehearse how they had to the enemies of the Lord.

But due to their curse, they had to be the enemies of the Lord.

So there are Sushita for instance, he was always thinking about Lord Krishna.

Shishyapan, he was always thinking about Lord Krishna.

So as Gamsa.

So as Gamsa.

But they are thinking in a negative sense.

But they were thinking in a negative sense.

So that was. The devotees are not supposed to think of the light and negative light.

The devotees, they are not supposed to think of the law in a negative way.

In the nectar of devotion it mentions how you practice Samra bhakti to Lord Krishna.

In the Nakta of devotion it is mentioned how we have to perform Sadhana.

Bhakti to Lord Ka at some time. Because.

Natural after sometimes it becomes natural.

After more time it becomes rather spontaneous.

After natural it becomes rather spontaneous.

So we're trying to serve the Lord spontaneously.

So the devotees, they should be trying to serve the Lord spontaneously.

That Hamlet devil regards natural attraction and devotion.

That happens due to one's natural attachment and attraction and devotion.

Some of them were actually very attracted to Krishna and like he used to, he saw Krishna as his Dheema's trained cousin.

Some people were naturally attracted by Krishna. Is this true? He saw Krishna as his friend and cousin.

And sister Paul, he's like Krishna as his enemy.

And Shishupal, he saw Ka as his animal.

He was always thinking about Krishna.

But he was always thinking about Krishna.

It is so thinking positively.

It is true we're thinking positively.

And Sister Tao was thinking negatively.

And Xi Shi Peng was thinking negatively.

So that's an unusual situation.

That's an unusual situation.

He was thinking of Krishna as a close friend.

It's natural that Yudhishthir was thinking about Krishna as his close friend.

So like that Israel starts you are into rain. It's Ratnata Thakur. That's the explain.

So Shri Bhaktiyanathtaka starts to explain.

Spontaneously and affection and love harshness.

Well, one spontaneously have affection and love for Krishna arises from the sense of duty and avoidance of unlawful. Fear and expectation are utterly inferior. When the intelligence of the Sadhaka becomes good, then he abandons fear and expectation and the sense of duty becomes his only refuge. As long as rag towards the Supreme Lord does not arise as long as the rag towards the Supreme Lord does not arise, the Sadhaka does not abandon the sense of duty. From the sense of duty arise two judgments. Respect for rule, Vidhi and abandonment of Allah. All the methods of worshipping the Supreme Lord which are established through reason by the ancient great personalities and written down in the scriptures are called vidhi. As mentioned in Sri Chaitanya chaita, mutha, madhyamulla 22.108, 109 and 161. There are two processes of practical devotional service. One is regulative devotional service and the other is spontaneous devotional service. Those who have not attained the platform of spontaneous attachment in devotional service run the devotional service under the guidance of a bona fide spiritual master according to the regulatory principle mentioned in the revealed scriptures. According to the revealed scriptures, this kind of devotional service is called Vaidi Bhakti. Krishna has many types of devotees. Some are servants, some are friends, some are parents and some are conjugal lovers. Devotees who are situated in one of these attitudes of spontaneous life according to their choice are considered to be on the path of spontaneous loving service.

Sometimes people ask, how do you have this desire to serve Ka?

Sometimes people ask, how do you have this desire to serve Ka?

I hear it. We are previous Acharya. He is standing at the same time. We do it because it's a rule, it's a sense of duty.

Here the previous Acharya is explaining that sometime we do it because it's a rule, a sense of duty.

One awakens the natural affection.

Eventually one awakens one's natural affection for Krishna.

And then what's called spontaneous devotion.

And that's called spontaneous devotion.

When it doesn't bring the loving being, duty and roles and all that is not as important as one's affection.

Then duties and rules are not as important as one's affection.

So people are running lowering souls to Krishna because they have a region where affection for Krishna.

People are doing loving devotional service to Ka because they have awakened their loving affection to Kaja Bharat. And that's called raising up a loving.

Devotional service or loving devotional service. That's what we want to achieve so that we can. It's natural to serve Krishna.

That's what we want to achieve because it's natural to serve Krishna.

So you don't have to tell Hindu Sharmas that he should like Krishna.

So you don't have to tell Maharashtra that he have to like Krishna.

He likes Krishna. He loves Krishna.

He likes Krishna, he loves Krishna and.

So does Arjuna Rima, so does Arjuna.

And Bhiman, so does Sahadeva.

Lord Krishna, he plays the part of a human being.

Lord Krishna, he plays the part of a human being.

But he's transcendental.

But he's transcendental.

So he pays his respect to Kunti DB he pays his respect to Conti Dini.

He prays with respect to Kunti Dini.

Because she's his auntie.

Because she is his auntie.

Actually, she has great affection for Krishna.

But actually she has great affection for Lord Krishna.

One sense, so many people have some standard relationship.

In one sense, so many people have some standard relation like Ka.

Lord Chaitanya, they have a very good relationship.

But Lord Krishna, Lord Chaitanya, they have a very deep relationship.

And then when the dwarves from Bengal are coming down to Dharma for you.

In the Chaitanya Bhagavad, when the devotees from Bengal were coming down to Jagannathuri.

Then they heard the kirtan and they saw all who are trying to spontaneous devotion triggers.

Some of them died down and they were crying and they were feeling spontaneous love for Lord Krishna, attraction and affection.

Lord Sudhama, who they were, he takes them out and brings them amazing kind of reunion.

So Lord Chaitanya, depending on whom they were, he was speaking and raising them. It was a wonderful reunion. Amazing reunion.

Since we were pagan Sanyas, since some of the associates, many of them, most of them arrives with them since he.

Became sannyas, most of his associates who were grandsters, they brought their wife with them.

They couldn't really go out to Lord Chaitanya.

They really couldn't go up to Lord Chaitanya.

From a distance, they were crying, so happy to see Lord Chaitanya.

From a distance they were crying and they were so happy to see Lord Chaitanya.

So and then sometimes this was Lord Chaitanya was going to Mohan whatsoever.

Sometimes Lord Chaitanya was going to Mohanji's.

Arrival and he met the devotees on the way.

He met the devotees on the way.

Sometimes he was on the.

So sometimes he's on the green group where the radiating happens.

And so King Putta Pruja. Who is that? Who's that? Wow, he's like royal consent. Who is that?

King Prataputta was like, who is that? Who is that? Who is that?

Wow, he's very thousand and said he is a daughter.

He said he is Advaita Gosai.

So I just. Different devotees were coming and meeting about Caitanya.

So like these different devotees were Coming and meeting about Caitanya.

How King Radha Rudra could realize that there were Chancellor number Lodis King Pratharvudra.

He could realize that they were transcendental devotees.

So this is being explained by Patrina Thakka.

This is being explained by from the sense of duty, the regard for the authority of whom of scriptures arises Faith and worship of the Lord according to the progressive development of consciousness. If we discuss the history and details of the people living in the native country and abroad, it will be clear that belief in the Lord is a common religion of mankind. The barbarous wild people spent their lives like animals by eating animal flesh. Yet they worship the sun and the moon and all the great mountains, the great rivers and the vast valleys, and worship them as givers and controllers. But if the reason for this, even if the living entity is completely bound, as long as his consciousness is not covered to that extent as an identity of consciousness, certainly a little amount of faith in the Lord will be manifest in Him. As mentioned in Rgautam, June 1138, the supreme personality of Godhead said the influence of time, the transcendental sound of Vedic knowledge was lost at the time of annihilation. Therefore, when the subsequent creation took place, I spoke the Vedic knowledge to Brahma because I myself the religious principles enunciated in the Vedas. Lord Brahma spoke Vedic knowledge to his eldest son Manu and the seven great sages headed by Bhogumuni and then accepted the same knowledge from Brahma and the forefathers headed by Bhugavuni and other science of Brahma appeared many children and descendants who assumed different forms as demigods, demons, human beings, Gurikas, Siddhas, Kandarvas, Vidyadharas, Charanas, Kindevas, Kinnaras, Nagas, Kin, Purushas and so on. All of the many universal species, along with their respective leaders, appeared with different natures and desires generated from three modes of material nature. Therefore, because of the different characteristics of the living entities within the universe, there are great many Vedic rituals, mantras and rewards.

So now we understand why there are so many different religions.

So now we understand why there are so many different religions, why different people.

The different types of worship and why.

Different people do different types of worship.

How knowledge of the Vedas is lost when the universe is annihilated and how.

The knowledge of Vedas is lost when the universe is annihilated.

How Krishna re established that transcendental knowledge.

And how Krishna Re established that transcendental knowledge.

So people are learning how to serve.

Krishna So people are learning how to serve Ka.

It's a natural thing that they worship the Supreme Lord.

It's a natural thing that they worship the Supreme Lord.

This is the example. Even general people.

He uses the example, even the jungle people who are.

But it's like different aspects of nature.

Simon so they respect different aspects of nature. Simon Moon.

A kind of appreciation for the love or the utterance of the Lord.

So that is a kind of appreciation for the appearance of the Lord.

Yields a little more knowledge.

Naturally, if one gets a little more.

Knowledge, then the appreciation for the occurrence of the Lord is here.

Then my appreciation for the opulence of.

The Lord is greater than many Christians. Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

So I was talking to many Christians, you know, they believe in Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.

But when they have knowledge.

But they may not have the knowledge of the.

Son of Lord Jesus, of Lord Jesus, they know very little about the Father or the Holy Spirit.

So they know very little about the Father and the Holy Spirit.

They know the Israelite and the first order and tender remembrance of Lord Jesus is to love the Father.

The first order in the ten Commandments of Lord Jesus is to love the Father.

Do you know anything about the Father?

Do you know anything about the Father?

We were taught about the Father, the power of the Holy Spirit.

So what have you been taught about the Father? The Paramatma, the Holy Spirit.

So they admitted that they didn't know anything about the Father.

So they admitted they didn't know anything.

About the Father except that there was one.

Except that there was one.

And Ka consciousness were taught to love our Father, to love Ka.

But in Ka consciousness we are taught to love the Father, to love Krishna.

To chant his name.

Chant his name.

So this thing is something very wonderful for the horrors of different religions.

So this thing is something very wonderful for the followers of different religions. So Lord Chaitanya, he met some Muslims.

And Utamas and he said ultimately Allah is a person.

And he said ultimately Allah is a person.

But most of the Muhammads, they don't think Allah is a person.

But most of the Muhammadans, they don't think that Allah is a person.

But he was saying that he's also energy and he's also a person.

So he was describing that he's also the energy and he's also the Purusha.

I had a Muhammadan PhD study the Quran. Tell me how many verses describe Allah as a person.

I had a Muhammadan PhD to study the Quran and tell me how many verses in the Quran tell Allah As a person.

And how many verses say that he's.

Verses in the Quran which says that Allah is not a person.

So he said Allah is a light.

And he said there is only one verse which says Allah is a light.

Verse would say he's merciful, he's kind, he judges and all these things. You don't think that this light is very kind?

See, there are unlimited verses which says that he is very merciful and very kind. You don't think that this light. Light is very clean.

So as we practice Ka consciousness, we start to realize how wonderful Krishna is.

As we start to practice Ka consciousness, we start to realize how wonderful Lord Ka is after attaining a civilized state. When he discusses various education. Only when his faith in the Lord is covered to some extent by bad reasoning, then either atheism or the byproduct of monism, Nirvana, voidism finds residence in the mind. Atheism and its three types. It is to be understood that all these ugly beliefs are only signs of unhealthy consciousness whose strength is not obtained. Three stages of human life are observed in between. The completely uncivilized stage and the stage of beautiful belief in the Lord. In those three conditions, the diseases of atheism, materialism and skepticism and voidism leads some people to a bad state in the form of an obstacle to the progress of the living entities. In that situation, not all people will be affected by the said disease. Those who are affected by all these diseases are bound to that state and do not get the qualification to a higher life. The uncivilized tribals, on the strength of civilization, ethics and learning skills, quickly taking shelter of the varnashramadharma, have gained a devotional life suitable for the practice of devotional service. This is the sequence of natural progression of mankind. When the obstructions in the form of disease appear, then an unnatural situation of life occurs.

There is a verse in the second canto of the Srimad.

There is a verse in the second cantal of Shima Bhagavatam.

It says even if one is an uncivilized person, it says even if one.

Is an uncivilized person, if they take.

Shelter of a pity, if we take.

Shelter of a pure devotee of Ka.

They can achieve all perfection.

They can achieve all perfections.

And it names all the different types of people.

It names all the different types of people.

Greek Kashidash.

Tribals, different types of Greek Kashadish, childless.

And it says that if I take shelter, I will appear, devotee of Ka.

If you take shelter of A pure devotee of Ka.

I can achieve all perfection.

We can achieve all perfection.

So this is what our Prabhupada gave us. Our conditioned souls. No matter which country, which tradition they're from.

So Sri Prabhupada gave us the universal Prabhupada gave us. No matter from which country, from which region we are from, religion we are from.

They can actually achieve devotion to a.

Krishna that they can naturally attain devotion.

From Lord Krishna and they could achieve all the perfection.

They could achieve all the perfection here.

Right? You see how different people have different types of atheistic beliefs.

Here we can find how different people, they have different types of atheistic beliefs because of. Because of bad association.

So he's going step by step. He's going from the tribals to the partially to rise.

So he's going from the tribunal to the partially civilized.

Civilized.

Civilized.

And those who have natural beliefs and the supreme Lord and those who have.

Natural beliefs to the supreme Lord and.

Those who don't have beliefs and those.

Who don't have any beliefs.

So human beings are not actually restartless their relationship with Ka.

Human beings are meant to re establish the relationship with Lord Ka.

So this is the reverse of Lord Caitanya to bring us to Lord Chaitanya's lotus sleep.

This is the purpose of Lord Chaitanya to bring us to Lord Chaitanya's lotus feet.

So I'm planning to go to.

I'm planning to go to and I.

Have been there for nine years.

I haven't been there for nine years.

It's my zone.

It's my zone. And apparently they need to visit.

So I may be there for five days.

I may be there for five days.

And then there's a meeting of the bureau in Ahmedabad.

And then there's a meeting of the bureau in Ahmedabad.

I see how the Hawaiian health stands out and how the situation is.

So I see how my house stands up and how the situation is.

So I'm going to come back here. I'm going to go ahead to.

I maybe come back here or maybe go to Hamdipat. Okay. Thank you very much all of you.

Today I didn't see the deities yet.

Today I didn't see the DTs yet. I'll go before the close.
