Mishwaram Hari Om Tatsat Hare Krishna Dear devotees, Hare Krishna okay, so today we will continue with Srila Sachidananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur Chaitanya Shiksha Amrita Again Lord Chaitanya has said in Shri chaitanya charitamrita antialila 4.65 to 68 kuboti chadiya koro Shrabon Kirtan Achirat Pave Tove Krishnir Charan Nichajati Nahe Krishna Bhajane Ajogka as mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 10.23 to 39 23.39 Dik Janmanastrivrat Yattat Dikvratam Dik Bahuk Nyatam Dikkulam Dik Kriya Daksham the Brahmana said, and here I quote, to hell with our threefold birth, our vow of celibacy and our extensive learning to help with our aristocratic background. Aristocratic background and our expertise of rituals of sacrifice. These are all condemned because we are inimical to the transcendental personality of Godhead. Satkula Bipra Nahe Bhajaner Jogga J bajay Shei Baro Abhakta Hina Char Krishna Bhajane Nahijati Kuladi Bichar Diner Adhikadoya Kore Bhagavan Kulin Pandit Din Dhani Baro Abhiman Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu told Sanatan Goswami, give up all your nonsensical desires, nonsensical desires, for they are unfavorable for getting shelter at the lotus feet of Krishna, engage yourself in chanting and hearing then you will soon achieve the shelter of Ka. Without doubt, a person born in a low family is not unfit for discharging devotional service to Lord Krishna. Nor is one fit for devotional service simply because he is born in an aristocratic family of Brahmanas. Anyone who takes to devotional service is exalted, whereas a non devotee is always condemned and abominable. Therefore, in the discharge of devotional service to the Lord, there is no consideration of status of one's family. The supreme personality of Godhead Krishna is always favorable to the humble and meek. But aristocrats, learned scholars and wealthy are always proud of their positions.

Being proud of your position is not a good quality.

So being proud of your position is not a good quality.

If you are humble and meek, Ka, no matter who you are, if you.

Are humble and meek, Krishna would accept no matter who you are. And.

So even if someone is a very high position, very high practices, he proud is not good for him.

Maybe if someone is in a high position and has high practices, if he is proud then it is not good for him.

Pride. We are nothing compared to some of the great devotees Lord Caitanya Lord Krishna.

We are nothing compared to some of the great devotees of Lord Caitanya. And Lord Krishna.

Very humbly engaged in Ka service.

So we should very humbly engage in Ka's service.

Hare Krishna.

Hare Krishna. What would you like to read more? We'll stop here. The process of Haribhajan in Varnasrama the meaning of the Lord's words the meaning of the Lord's words are that if there is reverence for the subjects related to the Lord then accept Hari Nama in the association of Sadhus. Do not let the mind to be agitated by the attempts of Karma and Jnana as per the rules of counting numbers, take care to constantly chant 16 names such as Hare Krishna by making the body the house favourable to the practice of chanting the holy names should do as much effort as is necessary for maintenance of these substances Body house and offer it to Ka sincerely without duplicity. Don't try too hard on anything else and don't over endeavour on this or either of the body and house. Do not eat food dear to the senses or do not use it in other senses. Protect the body by moderate Satvika food in such a way that the Jiva's pure knowledge and favorable sense at favorable sense, attachment and internal senses such as the mind are not destroyed or distorted.

So pardon Thakur giving some practical advice.

So Srila Bhakti Veenath Thakur he is giving some practical advice.

I think that he composed a song.

I think that he composed a song. So.

He was all his body. He was serving everything at the lotus feet of the Lord Caitanya.

So we have false body. He was surrendering everything at the lotus feet of Lord Chaitanya.

And.

So.

He didn't only talk the dogs, he walked the walk.

He didn't only talk the talk but he walked the walk. As mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 11. 7.39 Pranavritaivasanteshain Munir Naivendra Priya Hai Jnanam yata nanashyeta navak kiryeta van Manah A learned sage should take his satisfaction in the simple maintenance of his existence and should not seek satisfaction through gratifying the material senses. In other words, one should care for the material body in such a way that one's higher knowledge is not destroyed. One's speech and mind are not deviated from self realization. End of the code Also mentioned in Rmad Bhagavatam 11.25.28 Patyam Putam Anashyatam aharyam satvikams mrtam rajasam chendriya Preshtam tamasam chaati dasuchi Food that is wholesome, pure and obtained without difficulty is in the mode of goodness. Food that gives immediate pleasure to the senses is in the mode of passion and food that is unclean and causes distress is in the mode of ignorance. Also there's a continuation. Vanam tu satviko vaso gramo rajaso chate tamasam dutad Sadhanam Sadhanam tan Niketam Residence in the forest is the residence in the forest is in the mode of goodness. Residence in a town is in the mode of passion. Residence in a gambling house displays the quality of ignorance and residence in a place where I reside is transcendental. End of the quote.

So if we live in an ashram where Ka is present in the temple.

So if we stay in an ashram, live in an ashram where Krishna is.

Present in the temple then that place is transcendental.

Then that place is transcendental.

There one is a song I just.

Said here whether if one lives in some places as it is mentioned here.

Turn out to be the mode of goodness, passion or ignorance then it is.

In the mode of goodness, passion and ignorance. So.

Here we have a temple.

So here we have a temple Living in the temple. We are living in the temple.

Are there ashram around the temple?

There are ashram around the temple.

So that's transcendental existence.

So that's transcendental existence.

I want to be in a place where Krishna is so we want to.

Be in a place where Krishna is.

I know some of the holis, they write to me how they want to stay in Mayapur.

I know some devotees they write to me how they want to stay in Mayapur.

So point staying in the temple or in the temple, ashram or temple eternity is to participate in the temple activities.

So the point is to stay in the temple ashram or in the temple vicinity or in the temple is to participate in the temple activities.

It's harder to do that not taking advantage living near the temple.

If someone can't do that, then they are not taking advantage living near to the temple.

One of the material existences mentioned here.

So then they're having one of the material existences as mentioned here.

Most of the people can't live in the forest.

I mean, most of the people can't live in the forest. So either they are living in the town or in some tamasic situation. Okay. Except the solitary residence that is not too much strenuous or difficult. That not too much strenuous or difficult. Staying in such society that is not unfavorable for Krishna Bhakti. Take care of the progress in such progress of such a society. The meaning of doing all this is that you will be sure to worship in solitude with firm care. Accept a solitary residence. That is the meaning of doing all this is that you will be sure that worship in solitude with firm care. Oh really?

Living in a house with her cap. We want to always be engaged in devotional service.

So we want to be always engaged in devotional service.

We do that with extreme care.

And we do that with extreme care.

They will live the body small houses, rats to take service.

So the devotees, they live in small houses or flats to participate in devotional service.

So we see so many devotees who come to the temples and participate.

Also we see so many devotees. They come to the temple and participate. So.
