This is your reading glass. So this is not some sort of a sunglass or whatever it is. It's a reading glass. It has holes in it. So that helps Guru Maharaj to focus and eases things from him. Dear devotees, today we will continue with the reading from. If there is some amount. Okay, I use it.

Just.

If there is some amount of lust in the heart, recognizing and retesting it humbly without duplicity.

Continue Bhajan.

In a short time the Lord sitting in your heart make the heart desireless will accept your love. As mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 1.2.17 Shrinivatam's Vakatra Krishna have Punya Shavana Kitanah. Sri Krishna, the personality of God who is Paramatma supposal in everyone's heart and benefactor of the truthful devotee cleanses desire for material enjoyment from the heart of the devotee who has developed the urge to hear his messages which are which are in themselves virtuous when properly heard and chanted. It's a quote from Sriman Bhagavata personality Sri Krishna who is the personality of Godhead. Yeah, I did read that. Sri Krishna, the personality of Lord Hate who is the Paramatma super soul in everyone's heart. The benefactor of the truthful devotee cleanses the desire for material enjoyment from the heart of the devotee who has developed the urge to hear his messages which are in themselves virtuous when properly heard and chanted. Bhagavatami says that when you hear and chant Krishna's glories which which are virtuous in themselves, it cleanses your heart.

Desire for material enjoy.

Cleanses the heart, cleanses the desire for material enjoyment from the heart of the devotee who has developed who has developed the urge to hear his messages which are in themselves virtuous when properly heard and chanted. Yeah. Is it all right? Properly heard and. Can you put this on top of that? See if this works. Is it working? Shoulder mask. Okay. I can increase this font. If I increase the font. Is that okay? You can see the words in the little.

That's it. That's it.

That's all. Is it okay? It is better. Switch up the light. Dot one is already off. It is already okay.

Spider jaws. All the art finders of heart.

Anyway, Srila Bhakti Venathakur is explaining to us how the Lord cleanses the heart. If you have the desire to hear about him.

Cleanses the heart.

He cleanses the heart from material desires. The.

Process of devotional Service works spontaneously.

So the process of devotional service works spontaneously.

And Hero the Lord, he cleanses our heart.

If our desire to hear about the Lord increases, He cleanses our heart. At the same time.

He in our heart as.

He cleanses the heart as the super soul.

For a long time a person does.

Devotional service For a long time.

The Lord cleanses the heart of material lust.

So the Lord cleanses the heart of material lust.

The holes of his voices.

He can.

See flowers in the holes of these glasses.

Sadhya and Sadhana. There are only two words in teachings of Sriman Mahaprabhu I.e. taste in the holy name and showing mercy to living entities. The extent to which a person has this quality Dharma to that extent a person is a Vaishnava as mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 10.41.51 Sopi Vavre Chalam Bhaktim Tasmin Eva Kilatmani that Bhakte Shucha Sauhardam Bhuteshuta Jayam Bhutesucha Dayam Paramount Sudama chose unshakable devotion for Krishna, the supreme soul of all existence, friendship with his devotees and transcendental compassion for all living beings.

So they are Lord Jaiden right here to kill the mercy out all the conditions.

So Lord Chaitan and Nitai, they were very eager to give the mercy to all conditioned souls.

And the mundaners, I don't see the Lord.

The mundaners, they don't see the Lord. They just see the material existence.

So that's why the devotees, they have to be passionate.

So that's why the devotees, they have to be passionate, compassionate, sorry, compassionate.

And all of those deliver Allah.

In order to deliver other persons.

I want to say.

We want to see many people become Krishna consciousness, Krishna conscious. Sorry.

By Islam going to the West.

So they showed a video of Srila Prabhupada going to the West. They're having different festivals like like Rathyatra and others.

To dance.

Srila Prabhupada was encouraging the devotees to dance. Sometimes he was also dancing, sometimes he was also dancing.

So this is why we can see how robot is working on the.

I.

Was carrying a message.

So in this way we can see how his Divine grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada was carrying the message of Lord Chaitanya.

He was very happy to see to see all the devotees counseling.

And he was very happy to see all the devotees dancing. Shall I continue?

There is no need to try to.

Acquire other good qualities. All the qualities of A devotee arise automatically as mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 5.18.12 Bhakti R. Bhagavatyakinchana Sarvey gunes Tatra sama sate suraha harava bhakta. All the demigods and their exalted qualities such as religion, knowledge and renunciation become manifest in the body of one who has developed unalloyed devotion for the supreme personality of Godhead Vasudeva. On the other hand, a person devoid of devotional service and engaged in material activities has no good qualities even if he adopt at the practice of mystic yoga or the honest endeavor honest endeavor of maintaining his family and relatives he must be driven by his own mental speculations and must engage in the service of the Lord's external energy. How can there be any good qualities in such a man? So Shlabakti Venathakur is describing the devotee and the materialists how the devotee is being purified by the super soul.

Energy.

And how the how the materialist is serving the material energy of the lot.

So.

See the energy or the aspects of the the Lord is so even.

When we see the material energy or the aspects of the devas we see them as the devotees of the Lord and we offer our service to the Lord.

They are the same right away.

It may not be seen right away.

This is a vision I should say.

But this is the vision that we should see.

This is what.

This is what Lord Chaitanya showed us. Next, Devotees by nature always obtain happiness in beneficial activities as mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 10.22.35 it is that the duty is it is the duty of every living being to perform welfare activities for the benefit of others with his life, wealth, intelligence and words. I just received a report from Raja Bridget. Okay, how the devotees there are distributing bhogas to the temple and all the Brajavasis.

All right. Also thinking how to get.

So they're trying to procure a machine which would cost like 1 and a half lakh to 2 lakhs which would clean the Kundas water pressure machine.

Something like this. Who are you? Think what you can do for your country.

So like these people would say don't think what the country can do for you but you think what you can do for your country.

They are country conscious.

They are country conscious but we are Krishna conscious.

So I don't think what Krishna can do for us what we can do.

For Krishna but we don't think what Krishna can do for us but we Think what we can do for Krishna.

Krishna.

So we want to do something in the name of Krishna. Souls liberate all the conditioned souls. Hare Krishna will end here. Okay, so this is an announcement from Guru Maharaj.
