Okay.

I was told the online sound is not altogether okay.

Yeah. Guru Maharaj, that is not because of us. It's just because of their network connection. Some devotees they heard it well. Some devotees they didn't.

So you can't see, sir.

Okay.

Okay.

So can I start reading? Can I start reading Sugarman? Why not? Kotikoti Hare Krishna. Dear devotees, Hare Krishna Koti. I think because. Okay. Continuing from Chaitanya Shikshamrita of Srila Sachidananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur Kotibar. Continuing from yesterday's session, Falgu Vairagya. The name of this vira, this type of Vairagya is Falgu Vairagya. The Lord forbade and taught Sanatana about Yukta Vairagya and also taught the same to Das Goswami. Namely in Chaitanya charitamrita madhya leela 16.237,239 he says in the cool Babas in the coalition Lok Dekaya Jata Jogya Bishoy Bunjay Ana Shaktohoya Antare Nishta Koro Bhai Lok Bhya Bahar Achirat Krishna Tomay Koribe Udhar. Lord Chaitanya told Raghuna Das Goswami, be patient and return home. Don't be a crazy fellow. By and by, able to cross the ocean of material existence, you should not make yourself a show bottle devotee and becomes a false renunciant. For the time being, enjoy the material world in a befitting way and do not become attached to it. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu continued, with your heart, within your heart you should keep always. You should keep yourself very faithful. But externally you may behave like an ordinary man. Thus Krishna will soon be very pleased and deliver you. From the clutches of Maya.

Approached Lord.

So even Raghunathas approached Lord Chaitanya.

Be faithful to Krishna.

Lord Chaitanya told him to be faithful to Krishna.

And don't be a market Vairagya.

And don't be a market Vairagi.

Don't be a showbottle.

Don't be a show bottle Vairagi.

It's not what you or situation. Are you going to enjoy material world?

Krishna puts you in a situation where you can enjoy the material world.

So enjoy it. But keep your heart always on Krishna.

So. But keep your heart focused on Krishna.

And he will sooner later.

He will sooner or later deliver you.

So even your approach Lord Chaitanya.

But even when you approach Lord Chaitanya, he might send you away so.

Careful.

So one has to be very careful.

Not so easy. And you just approach Lord Chaitanya.

It's not so easy that you just approach Lord Chaitanya.

He may also tell you to stay at your home.

He may also tell you to stay at your home.

Save your heart.

Keep your heart with Krishna. Can I continue? All right. If you can live in a comfortable life. Sorry. If you can live a comfortable life at home with your wife and son and do Bhajan keeping strong faith in your strong faith in your heart without attachment then the material world will gradually the soul becomes strong by bhakti and is situated in the relationship with the personality of God. Hate. As mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 1.2.9 and 10, all occupational engagements are certainly meant for ultimate liberation. They should never be performed for material gain. Furthermore, according to sages, one who's engaged in the ultimate occupational service should never use material gain to cultivate sense gratification. Life's desire should never be directed towards sense gratification. Sam, Artha and Kama get money and enjoy sense gratification. That is Arthur and Karma.

But the devotees, they want the service of Ka.

But the devotees, they want the service of Ka.

And they have money. They want to use it in Ka consciousness.

When they get money, they want to use it in Ka consciousness. According. Okay. Further recording. Okay. They should not. They should never be performed for medical gain. Furthermore, according to the sages, one who's engaged in the ultimate occupational survey should never use material gain to cultivate sense gratifications. Life's desire never be directed towards sense gratification. One should only desire a healthy life or self preservation. Since human being is meant for inquiry about the absolute truth, nothing else should be the goal of one's works.

So the Lord is completely redirect their desires.

So the devotees completely redirect their desires. They Want to serve Krishna.

Like how the how the stars serve Krishna.

So they want this status so that they can serve Krishna uninterruptedly and uninterruptedly. So.

The Aronis, they don't want to use their announcement.

So the devotees, they don't want to use their advancement for sense gratification.

We have some situation wrong with us or we want to help them.

So we heard about the situation in Bangladesh, so we want to help them.

Because they are running Hindus are taking.

Shelter of their temple because many Hindus there are taking the shelter of the temple and.

They don't have much. They're not able to go out and raise funds.

And they are not able to go out and raise funds.

So that's finance to help the devotees.

So we are trying to get some finance to help the devotees, help the temples in Bangladesh Help the temples in.

Bangladesh or giving shelter to many of the distressed devotees to give shelter to.

Many of the distressed devotees.

Devotees don't want to use money for sense.

So devotees, they don't want to use money for sense gratification, they want to.

Use it for serving Krishna.

They want to use it for serving Krishna. Haribur so we'll end here otherwise desiring to be liberated. If the gradual order is abundant, then market of Iraqiya will come and make the living entity abominable. Abominable. That's what I said. The meaning of the order Jata Jogya Bisha Bunja is that one should not accept things for the sake of sensual pleasure, but accept only the things that are necessary for the establishment of the soul's relationship with Ka. By giving the fruit of the satisfaction of the soul, the sense objects itself will give up the transcendental soul. The body house things for Krishna's worship and society can all be instruments for Yukta vairagya only if there is strong faith of the Sadhaka in the heart, then that brings all benefits. External faith is merely social custom of common people. The inner if the inner firm faith is sincere without duplicity, then the material bondage and relationship with the material world will be destroyed immediately. To the extent that Bhakti attains purity to that extent pure knowledge and pure detachment must certainly increase.

So material opulence may also be a test.

So material opulence may also be a test.

Material.

If a devotee uses his material opulence for serving Krishna, then he passes the test.

If he uses it for sense gratification.

If you use it for sense gratification, then he fails.

How this Maya may Test one by ovulus.

So Maya may test one by opulence or by suffering.

So we have opulence, we use it for Krishna.

So when we have opulence we use.

It for Krishna and we have salvation. I think it is also a test.

So when we have some, when we are suffering, we also think that this is a test by Krishna.

So whatever way we should be fixed and serving Krishna, whatever way we should.

Be fixed in serving Krishna. This is a quote from Srimad Bhagavatam.

Yeah.

Because I finished reading the previous Mashrat Maharaj. Yeah, I did finish that. There's a Bengali. Yeah, thing then. Yeah, there's a Bengali thing then. That's the English translation of that. In simple devotional life, only taking shelter of the holy name of Krishna is the topmost sadhana as mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 2.1.11 Etanirvidyamanam Ichatham Akutobayam Yogi nam nirpa nirnitam Harir namanu kirtanam O king. Constant chanting of the holy name of the Lord after the ways of the great authorities is the doubtless and fearless way of success for all, including those who are free from all material desires, those who are desirous of all material enjoyment and also those who are self satisfied by dint of transcendental knowledge, those who are self satisfied by the dint of self transcendental knowledge.

So transcendental knowledge is a way of success.

So transcendental knowledge is the way of success for the devotee. So Srila Prabhupada has kindly given us the Srimad Bhagavatam Bhagavad Gita as it is many others horror books and many other smaller books.

So you have the knowledge we want to take it, we have the knowledge.

Knowledge we have. If we want to take it, take it. So my servants are taking the Bhakti Vaibhava studies on and.

So Prabhupada has given us such a nice.

So Prabhupada has given us such a nice society, nice study, nice study so that we.

Can read his books and understand the sigma Bhagavatam Bhagavad Gita Chaitanya Char understand.

The rmad Bhagavatam Bhagavad Gita and Chaitanya Charitamrita.

So nothing is missing.

So nothing is missing.

In the material world as.

So in material world there is sense gratification which we think is the whole of life, which we think is the goal of life.

The real goal is actually to serve Krishna.

But the real goal is actually to serve Krishna and.

Jail science is targeting.

Us and the material sense gratification is distracting us.

I don't remember of the BBC came to Mayapur.

So once we remember the BBC guy who came to Mayapur and I was.

Taking him on the boat.

And I was taking him on the boat.

So then I remember I said something about sense gratification.

And then I remember I said something about sense gratification.

What's wrong with that?

And he said what's wrong with that?

He thought that was the goal of life.

Because he thought that's the goal of life. Sense gratitude, sense gratification.

So if we want to be Godasana then Maya gives us a lot of opportunity.

If you want to be Go Dasa then Maya gives us lots of opportunity.

If you want to be Goswami, Krishna will give you opportunity to use your senses to restore Krishna.

If you want to be Goswami then Krishna would give you opportunity to use the senses in his service. The Lord said to Sanatan in Chaitanya charitamrita Anti Leela 4.7 0.71 Krishna Prem Krishna Dite Dhare Maha Shakti Tar Madhya Sharuvashestra Nam Shankirtan Nirapurade Nam Loyle among the ways of executing devotional service the nine prescribed methods are the best for this process. Have great potency to deliver Krishna and ecstatic love for him. Of the nine processes of devotional service, the most important is to always chat the holy name of the Lord. If one does so avoiding the 10 kinds of offenses, one very easily obtains the most valuable love of God hate Krishna.

So.

Here we have it directly from our Acharyas.

So here we hear directly from our Acharyas how.

Causes of erosion.

How the nine process of devotion are the best.

And of those nine processes hearing and chanting continuously unparalleled.

How in the nine process hearing and chanting continuously is unparalleled.

I went to the Purnima, I went to our Rajapur Jalal.

So on Balarampurni my day I went to our Rajapur Jagannath temple.

And there you saw how wonderful Jagannath God is and wonderful.

And there we saw how wonderful Jagannath Baladev Subhadra were.

And then we went down at the end one to see the Simantini and Goranga.

And then we went down to see Simantini and Goranga.

So Srivantini was chained of dust Goranga's lotus feet.

So Simantini was taking the dust From Lord Gauranga's lotus feet.

I put it on her part in.

Her hair and put it on the part on her head. Sorry, hat head, hair.

Like that. And all the down. Even the Rodari, even the Raya David.

So in Navadip Dham, even Pravda Maya.

The Maya Devi, she takes the dust, Lord Chaitanyanya's lotus feet.

She takes the dust from Lord Chaitanya's lotus feet, puts it on the crown of her hair and puts it on the crown of her hair. As a crown. I don't know.

We take the mercy of Balaram and serve Lord Jagannath.

If we take the mercy of Lord Balaram and serve Lord Jagannath, then everything is.

All.

And then everything is very blissful. Hare Krishna.
