The following is the Sri Krishna Caitanya Shrik Shamrita class given by His Holiness Jaya Pataka Swami Maharaj on August 6, 2024 in Sri Ramayapur, India.

Sri Chaitanyami Shoram Hare Krishna Dear devotees.

Hare Krishna.

So today we will continue with the reading from Sri Chaitanya Shiksha Mirda of Srila Satchitan and the Bhakti Vedantraftur Part 2 of the chapter entitled Determining the Sadhana Part 2. Sri Bhakti Vinathakur writes, when the position of Vivarata is observed, then this misery is seen in the living entity. When will this intelligence of Vivartha 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 Vivartha will no longer exist. As mentioned in RMAD Bhagavatam 11, with steady intelligence you should develop unalloyed devotional service. By careful worship of the spiritual master and with the sharpened axe of transcendental knowledge, you should cut off all subtle material coverings of the soul. Thank you for cutting it off. Upon realizing the supreme personality of God, she should then give up all acts that acts of analytic knowledge. Analytics analytic knowledge. Therefore thus ends the quote from Srimad Bhagavatam Thakur. Therefore while giving up the search of salvation, if devotional service to Krishna is performed then this intelligence of Vivarda will easily be removed in search of salvation. The practice of Swadharma is not achieved, only indirect practice is done.

As how somehow ever living under their fence it's hot all heart of all.

So somehow the living entity thinks that he is the body due to the false ego and thought of Vibhartabad.

So then he has to swallow the joy reward.

So then he has to suffer and enjoy through the body.

Suffering is hardly.

Suffering is Adhyatmic, Adipotic and Adidevic.

Surrendering from the body, suffering from the body, sorrowing for other living entities, suffering from other living entities and sorrowing from the Divine.

Suffering from the demigods, suffering from the Ali Devi, from the demigods, etc.

So most people are doing fine with their body.

Most people identify with the body and.

So that's why worshiping Durga Shiva they will want another material situation.

That's why by worshiping Durga Shiva people want a better material situation.

But we're trying to get the people honest joints in the material world.

So we try to get the people to understand that there is no situation in this material world, this ideal. Therefore we should worship Ka in his different forms. Also. It is mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 7.10.4 and I quote. On the other hand, one who desires some material benefit in exchange for devotional service cannot be your pure devotee indeed is no better than a merchant who wants profit in exchange for service. Therefore, Bhakti is sadhana. Inexperienced people keep devotion at a distance and promote either karma or knowledge as sadhana. Also it is mentioned in Srimad Baba Vandam 7.7.5152 and I quote. My dear friends, O son of the demons. This is by Prahlad Naraj. We cannot please the supreme personality of Godhead by becoming perfect Brahmanas, demigods, great saints by becoming perfectly good in the etiquette of vast learning. None of this qualification can awaken the pleasure of the Lord. Nor by charity, austerity, sacrifice, cleanliness, vows can one satisfy the Lord. The Lord is pleased only if one has unflinching, unalloyed devotion to Him. Without sincere devotional service, everything is simply a show. End of the quote. Karma and knowledge in small quantity in secondary form can be Sadhana but they can never be primary Sadhana.

I want to serve the Lord.

If one serve the Lord to gain some material benefit that's not pleasing to the Lord. That's not pleasing to the Lord.

Unallowed devotion is pleasing to the Lord.

Unalloyed devotion is pleasing to the Lord. And he appreciates that.

The people who worship the Lord for all the reason, most of the people.

Material people, they worship the Lord for some other reason. So they don't stay completely under the shelter of the Lord. So Lord Chaitanya and Lord Nithyananda they give the mercy of the Lord so freely. Without this consideration, naturally one develops pure devotion.

Hannah in channel are always associated with.

Krishna by chanting the holy names. They are always associating with Krishna.

So.

This hair Nigor are more merciful.

So in this way Nitai God are more merciful. So there's one standard here which is pure Bhakti.

People who are not achieving pure bhakti.

But people who are not achieving pure.

Bhakti are not very close to the Lord.

They are not very close to the Lord.

Father, there is zero lordship they can.

But by the mercy of Lord Chaitanya they can become very close. Law of Yankatine Also it's mentioned in Sriman Bhagavatam and I quote, Devotional service unto Lord Krishna is attained by charity, strict vows, austerities, five sacrifices by Japa, study of Vedic texts, observance of regulatory principle. Indeed by performance of many other auspicious practices. The Lord instructed Sanatana Goswami, Krishna, Bhakti Vayakya, devotional service to Krishna. This is Sanatana Siksha Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu saying this to Sanatana Goswami. And I quote him, Devotional service to Krishna is the chief function of the living entity. There are different methods for liberation from the conditioned soul. Karma, Jnana, Yoga and Bhakti. But all are dependent on Bhakti. But for devotional service all other methods for spiritual self realization are weak and insignificant. Unless one comes to devotion service to Lord Krishna, Jnana Yoga cannot give them the desired results. Speculative knowledge alone with our devotion service is not able to give liberation. On the other hand, even without knowledge one can obtain liberation. If one engages in the Lord's devotional service. The living entity is bound around the net by the chain of Maya because he has forgotten that he is eternally a servant of Ka. If the conditioned server engages in the service of the Lord, the and simultaneously carries out other orders of his spiritual master. If the conditioned soul engages in the service of the Lord and simultaneously carries out the orders of his spiritual master and serves him, he can get out of the clutches of Maya and become eligible for shelter at Krishna's lotus feet. The followers of the Varnasrama institution accept the regulatory principles of the four social orders, four spiritual orders. However, if one carries out the regulatory principles of the orders but does not render transcendental loving transcendental service to Ka, he falls into the hellish condition of material life. There are many philosophical speculators belonging to the Mayavada school who consider themselves liberated and call themselves Narayana. However, their intelligence is not purified unless they engage in Krishna's devotional service. Thus ends the quote. So we should engage in devotional service.

And in here and know the deep learning practices of devotional service are all the rational.

So living here In NavAdvip, the nine practices of devotional service are represented by each island.

And our Dao to the rock. And each island represents one of the practices nine practices.

So rather than make this Navdip Dham with each island representing one practice of the nine practices of devotion service, there.

Are so many activities that one does.

There are so many activities that one does. And if one does them to please Krishna Then it's all right. Then we become very attached to serving.

Krishna and become detached.

Then we become detached from Maya. So devotional service ends.

Something that we do naturally.

Something that we do naturally.

In the eighth chapter of the Adi' La.

In the eighth chapter of the Adi'llah.

Sad our Lord Shejanya, he gave the opportunity.
