20240816 - The ultimate goal of life

Hare Krishna. Dear devotees, today we will continue with the Chaitanya Sikshamrita of Shla Sachidan and the Bhakti Vinotakura first shower seventh stream, the ultimate goal of life. Maybe he can read the first Lord Sri Krishna. Chaitanya Chandra says to Sanatan Goswami, Sri Chaitanya Chaitam Nitamdelila 23.3 to 4 Krishna Bhakti Rosherai Sthai BH Caitanya Mahaprabhu continued. Now hear, O Sanatan, about the result of devotional service, which is love of Godhead, Life's ultimate goal. One who hears this description will be enlightened in in the transcendental mellows of devotional service. When affection for Krishna becomes deeper, one attains love of Godhead in devotional service. Such a position is called Stai Bhav, permanent enjoyment of the mellows of devotional service to Krishna. So.

The idea behind following the regular.

Principles so the idea behind following the regulative principles is that eventually it awakens all of Krishna is that eventually it awakens love of Ka.

And the one holds Jesus in this relationship, the love.

As one goes deeper in this relationship, the love expands. Types of Sadhana Bhakti the purport of the Lord's words is that Bhakti is first called Bhakti in the state of sadhana. Then when the fruit of Sadhana arises, that Bhakti attains the state of Bhava and Bhakti itself finally arises as Prema Sadhana. Bhakti is still the stage of Bhava Rati and Pratyanka Prankura, the seed of love for Krishna. Baba means ecstatic, ecstatic love for Krishna. Ecstatic love for Krishna that.

Further deepens to become Prema.

That further deepens to become Prema.

So the Lord, it goes out.

So the devotees follows. Follow Sadhana. Bhakti goes up step by step. First is hearing association of devotees, then association of devotees. Well.

Practice the practice of devotion and.

Then practice of devotion. That.

Becomes Anarta Navritti.

From that it becomes Anarta Navritti.

Getting rid of all the bad habits.

Getting rid of all the bad habits. And then it becomes Nishta. Very steady in devotional service. And then from Nishta it becomes Ruchi. Ruchi is taste for devotional service. From Ruchi it becomes Asakti, attachment to devotional service.

Asakti.

Then from Asakti it reaches bhava. From Bhava Prema. 8 One who's in the stage of Bhava, he manifests the eight Satvika Bhava. When that becomes deeper, it becomes Prema. When love becomes deeper, it becomes Prema. One should learn. One should learn how to associate with devotees of the Lord by gathering with them to chant the glories of the Lord. This process is most purifying. As devotees thus develop their loving friendship, they feel mutual happiness and satisfaction. And by thus encouraging one another, they are able to give up material sense gratification which is the cause of all suffering. The devotees of the Lord constantly discuss the glories of the personality of Godhead among themselves. Thus they constantly remember the Lord and remind one another of his qualities and pastimes. In this way, their devotion to the principles of Bhakti Yoga, the devotees please the personality of God hate who takes away from them everything inauspicious. Being purified of all impediments, the devotees awaken a pure love of Godhead. And thus even within this world, their spiritualized bodies exhibit symptoms of transcendental ecstasy such as standing of the bodily hairs on hand on end. Devotees focusing on Krishna, they feel ecstasy.

In all this Alzheimer's, you know, you.

Have these fault finders. She saw that he says this devotee is so bad.

They like to gossip about each other.

So instead of discussing about Krishna, they liked to gossip and found faults in each other.

I say the Sahaja Krishna is the real.

Find fault in each other. Actually discussing about Krishna is the real ecstasy. So they should be able to discuss about Krishna and avoid fault finding. Okay, how far did we need? Okay. No, no, we. We read the verse and its translation. Now we are reading the exam. The explanation of Bhakti Thakur. The difference between Vaidi and Raganuga Sadhana is that Vaidi attains the stage of Bava with some. Some delay. With a little Raganuga Bhakti, the stage of Bhava is attained. The previous thing was rla. Guru Maharaj. There's a quote from Srimad Bhagavatam which I read. And then there's an explanation which I read just now. So the difference between Vaidi and Raganuga Sadhana Bhakti is that Vaidi attains the stage of Bhava with some delay. With a little of Raganuga Bhakti, the stage of Bhava is attained.

So if you have Ragan.

So it means if you have Ravganuga, you achieve Baba very quickly.

Rules and regulations.

If you're following the rules and regulation.

And you have not reached the stage.

Of Ragnar, we have not reached the.

Stage of Raganuga may be delayed when you get lower.

Then it might be delayed when you get power. As mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 11th Canto Shraddha in the heart of Raganuga, devotees keeping Nishta on the lap emerges as Ruchi. Emerges as ruchi taste. So there is no delay in attaining Bhava. When one is in the stage of Raganuga, then he can achieve Baba very quickly.

And.

If someone is on Ragnuga, that means he's always thinking how to serve Krishna. As mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 11.12.89 and I quote, the inhabitants of Vrindavan, including the Gopis, cows, unmoving creatures such as the twin Arjuna, trees, animals, living entities with stunted consciousness such as bushet bushes. What is thick cats? I don't know. What does that mean? And snakes such as Kalia. All achieved. All achieved the perfection of life by unalloyed love for me. And thus very easily achieved me. Even though one engages with great endeavor in the mystic yoga system, philosophical speculation, charity, vows, finances, ritualistic sacrifices, teaching of Vedic mantras to others, personal study of the Vedas or the renounced order of life, still one cannot achieve me.

So children, austerities and practice is rendered here.

So different austerities and practices are mentioned here.

By this all alone, one is not able to attain Krishna.

By this alone one is not able to attain Ka. So.

Other processes other than devotional service are not very useful.

So other processes other than devotional service are not very useful.
