20240805 - Determining the Sādhana

Okay, so I wasn't here, but I got the point what you said. I'm just going to say so Gurma is basically requesting the devotees to pray for the devotees in Bangladesh. And the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, due to some political tension in Bangladesh, she has resigned from her prime ministership. So this has led to a attention in the country where the Muslim extremists apparently the army told her to resign and leave Bangladesh. So she did so. So the situation in the country is quite precarious right now. I mean, people from some Muslim extremist party targeting the Hindus Hindu temples. So we pray to the deities that our devotees, the deities and his current properties remain safe and also for their well being, the nourishing of them especially the situation is out of control. Even the army can't control the situation.

I use the bullets and.

Even after using bullets, people cannot stop it. Okay, shall we continue with? Shall we continue with. Yeah, this is one of the chapters. Sa.

Hari.

Guru Hare Krishna. Dear devotees, today we will continue with the reading from continuing with the sixth stream of the first Shava determining the Sadhana, we built our theory of illusion of the Supreme Samantha Tattva. The truth of relationship was determined while discussing the seven premiers that which is to be known for proof in that knowledge of Samanda Tattva it was known that the living entity forgets his eternal connection with Krishna and falls into the world burning in the ocean of material existence of the threefold miseries and suffers. After considering what is the means to stop that suffering, it was known that if the aforementioned relationship is re established, all suffering will be removed and supreme happiness will be obtained. The living entity is an eternally perfect spiritual entity. The living entity has no factual bondage or suffering. In the misconception that the body is the self that is an illusion, there's only so much pain. There are two basic examples of mistaking a rope for a snake and an oyster shell or silver. Not being able to understand these two examples well, the Mayavadi illusionist made mistake of calling existence of the living entity as Brahma Vivarath. By the grace of the bonafide spiritual master, when the living entity can know that these two examples are not prescribed about the existence of the living entity, but is only about this conception that the grass body and the subtle body is the self, then he can see the right path. This is the difference between Parinama and Vivatta. So basically is explaining the defects of says they have they give two example, rope for a snake and oyster shell for a silver not being. Okay, you get that for a snake. An oyster. Oyster shell for silver. Okay, one second. I'll take you up. Yeah, that's what I'm reading. The response has to come to example this. These two examples where the Bharavadi illusionists make mistake of calling the existence of the living entity as Brahma Vivarta. By the grace Brahma Vivat, the Brahman being illusion, it becomes Chiva by the grace of a bona fide spiritual master. When the living entity can and know that these two examples are not prescribed about the existence of the living entity, but it is only about the misconception that the gross body and the subtle body is the self, then he can see the right path. This is the difference between Karina and Vipartam is Bhajai Mahmoud the transformation of the Lord's energy. Vivarata means illusion. So the Brahman gave illusion. Shankaracharya says this. We like that before Brahman gave illusion and it becomes jiva. So when that illusion is removed, then the Jiva becomes Brahman. But Mahaprabhu says no, the Lord never transformed Brahman. The Brahman never transformed. But the energy of the Brahman Shakti parina, the energy, the potency of the Lord came transformed. And that's how the material universe comes to existence. The spiritual world is also a manifestation or the transformation of the lost energy.

Describing Lord Chaitanya's resembles.

So Bhakti Vinath Thakur is describing Lord Chaitanya's examples.

My Lord is hung rocks.

How the Mayavadis give complex examples for the illusion. Because the Mayavadis say Brahman is under.

Maya and that is moving on to the part of Quran.

That the living entity is a part of Brahman covered by illusion. And that when you remove the illusion you realize you are God, you are Aham Brahmasmi, you are the Brahman.

Like this, those examples. Those are not those in the scriptures.

Like these they use the examples which are not used in the scriptures. They use the example that is proper for the body and the subtle body. Oh, but not the soul.

People generally think.

People generally think that they are the body of the supple body.

Or find the all.

They think that they are the grass body, part of the mind, the subtle body.

While the heart.

But they don't realize that they are part of Krishna. Okay, shall we proceed? Shall we proceed to the next prayer? Can I continue to match? When the substance acquires another form, then it is called Vikara or Kalinama in connection with asic Milk is transformed to become Yoga this is Paranama. When there is no object but in its place there is intelligence of other objects then it is called Vivarta. Just as the is no such thing as a snake there is no such an illusion of a false snake in the rope the silver is not there but the mistake of illusionary silver is in the oyster shell. In these two places there is an illusion or mystic of the intelligence. The living entity is pure Spiritual substance is not really bound by Maya. But when Vivarta intellect becomes strong enough when the Vivarta intellect becomes strong enough to create the illusion that the body is self the mistake of Vivarta takes place.

Lord Jajana is all Bhadvin Maharaj.

So Lord Chaitanya he dealt with the Mayavadis in Banaras and they admitted that Shankaracharya's arguments were not satisfying what Spencer and.

His son Radia had said to them.

But since they are in his temporary layer he accepted that.

As it is.

So they felt more satisfied and they heard Lord Chaitanya's explanation.

How like this.

So likewise he converted the Banaras Mindanas to Krishna consciousness as mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 3.27 chapter 2 and 3 verses verse number 2 and 3 and I quote. When the soul is under the spell of material nature false ego identifying his body as the self he becomes absorbed in material activities and by the influence of false ego he thinks that he is the proprietor of everything. The conditioned soul therefore transmigrates into different species of life higher and lower because of his association with modes of material nature Unless he is released from material activities he has to accept this position because of his faulty work. When the position. End of the quote. When the position of Vivarta is observed then this misery is seen Seen in the living entity. When will this intelligence of Vivarta be removed? When the conception of I am a servant of Krishna is strengthened after receiving good instruction from a bona fide spiritual master then this intelligence of Vivanta will no longer exist. Thank you. So we were told by Srila Prabhupada that we are all Das Anadas. We are the servant of the servant.

Of Lord Krishna and therefore satisfying.

Therefore we felt very satisfying.

Makes us think how the other body.

Is the false ego Makes us think that we are the body.

On the roof.

So I remember Srila Prabhupada was saying even a fly that lands on the roof lands on the roof.

He thinks I own this house.

He thinks I own this house.

This is mine.

This is mine. So something said he may land in your heart Land on your heart and think that the heart is his.

So like this.

So that's what the false ego does.

How do you think this is me?

That we think this is me?

And as a result I start to do different things.

As a result we start to do different things to enjoy this world.

So we want to know the devotees of Krishna.

So we want people to be devotees.

Of Krishna and to relate with Krishna.

And to relate with Krishna. So instead of false ego, they have real ego. We hope that all the people in China. Any questions? Yeah, we have also Google. We have an online initiation ceremony. I mean we missed one dinner. You can do announcements. Announcements you can do from. Because they can hear. I'll just switch up the video because we love you. We love you too.
