20240930 - Piety by nature and by relation

No, it's not coming.

Sam Sh.

Sa. Today we'll continue reading from Shachidan and the Bhakti Villan Takurs Chaitanya Sikshamrata. Piety by nature and by relation. We will also consider statements of all respective virtues and vices. It's very difficult to classify them scientifically. Some sages have divided sin and piety into physical, mental, social and spiritual forms. Some have divided them into physical, verbal, mental. Some has equipped them bodily by senses and mental. As a result, we have seen that all these divisions are not perfect. If we divide all virtues into two categories namely piety by nature, Saru, Pagata, Punya and piety by relationship. Samantha Gatapunya, justice, kindness, truth, purity, friendship, simplicity and love are piety by nature. These are therefore called piety by nature virtues. Because all those virtues take shelter of the Swarupa of the living entity and remain in the form of its ornaments, sorry of its ornament for all time. So vice and virtue, Papa and Punya.

Could be by sub.

Could be by some activity or by one's nature.

This is not enough to take you to this spiritual world.

This piety is not enough. So sorry, just piety is not enough to take you to the spiritual world.

Piety may take one to the heavenly planets.

Piety may take one to the heavenly planets. If the body is connected with Krishna, then it is spiritual.

World.

Then one goes back to the spiritual world.

Yes. We found that one of the mice had internal short circuit.

So they found that one of the mice had internal short circuit.

And now they said that the mice were better.

So now they said that the mice work better in the conditioned state. It has only obtained the name Punya by becoming gross. To some extent, some extent. In all the virtues are by relationship. Since they are produced by material relation of the living entity, they are not needed in the perfect state. Sin is never the nature of the living entity. It takes shelter of the living entity in the conditional state. All those sins that are against the piety by nature, Swaroopa, gatta, Punya, virodhi are called sins against nature. Swaroopa, virodi. Papa.

I told this so some people.

Gain influenced by forbidden activities such that.

There is a single activity.

And as such they engage in sinful activity.

As not our nature but influence.

It's not our nature but by the influence of Kali we give into sinful nature. Hatred, injustice, lying, delusion, harshness, cruelty. Debauching us are some of the sins against nature. And all sins are anti virtue in relation to living entity. Because we Will judge very briefly the merits and demerits of sin and piety. We do not show their division in by nature and relationship. I only numbered them and and wrote a little consideration. The hint that has been given the reader with a little effort will easily make the appropriate division.

So.

So Lord Chaitanya has given this special mercy that even turned a sinful. The sinful. A sinful person into a devotee. But if one has pious qualities, then it's easier. Like Jaga and Madhai, they had many sinful activities by the mercy of Lord. The main chief point. Sorry, the main chief pious activities. Punya karma of 10 types. Namely welfare activity for others, Service to elders, charity, hospitality, purity, festival, animal husbandry, population increase and proper behavior. So having children through Garbutta and Samskara that spies activity. Acting properly is one of the pious activities. So distribute prasadam or whatever works for other. Whatever Welfare work for others.

The Lord is the spiritual.

Rather than doing material, devotees do spiritual welfare. Shall we go click further? Two types of welfare activity for others. Prevent suffering of others. Improvement of others. Improvement of others. Okay. Second is improvement of others. Should try his best to benefit everyone without considering one's relatives or others. Just as many kinds of sufferings in the world happen to oneself. Similarly, all this suffering happens to others also. When one is suffering, one feels that others should take care to relieve one's suffering. Therefore one should take care to relieve others suffering just like oneself. Although selfishness interferes with this action yet it is necessary to stop it as far as possible. And be careful to prevent others suffering. One should take care to relieve all kinds of. All kinds of physical, mental, social and spiritual suffering of others.

So I'd like to help this person get out of suffering.

So if one thinks I need. I want to help this person to get rid of the suffering.

Thus a type of welfare work for others.

That is a type of welfare work for others.

The Lord is trying to help others.

And the devotees, they try to help other people.

So not because.

Not because of relative or something that's in the mode of passion.

But just doing it because you want to help others.

Just doing it because you want to help others.

So.

So this is very interesting.

I will not care about others suffering.

Most people, they don't care about others sufferings.

Like the only ones that help you with. You know, I don't know.

They are selfish. They think that others should help me. But they don't think about helping others.

The Lord is going to ask for it help others.

But the devotees naturally help others.

There's only one of the trust.

Just like in the month of May June.

Trust there are no longer that one.

It's recommended that one should give water.

Because it's very hot.

Because it's very hot and people may be thirsty so so they give out water.

Always advises us how we can be do well for others.

So the Shastra always advises us how we can do welfare for others. Shall we go further? Bodily suffering are pain, hunger, etc. Mental suffering are anxiety, violence, grief and fear. Social sufferings are inability to maintain family, not being able to provide for sons and daughters, education and marriage, lack of money and person to do cremation for the deceased. Spiritual suffering are doubt, atheism, sinful desire. Just as careful care should be taken to prevent the suffering of others, so care should be taken to development of others as much as possible. It is the duty to improve others physically, mentally, socially and spiritually by means of money, body, by advice and health and by the help of other relatives. So this is very interesting.

As yours sovereign or is right here.

So bodily, mental, social and spiritual sufferings are meant explained here suffering. So we want to help people to end or to avoid bodily, mental, social and spiritual suffering. Should we go further? Shall we go further? Three Types of Service to Elders Guruseva Service to Elders Guru Seva is of three types namely maintenance and service of mother and father. Maintenance and service of advisors Respect and service to all elders. Obeying the orders of parents and serving them to the best of our ability is the main duty of everyone. It goes without saying that if one is able to serve those who have in all endeavor protected and nurtured us in childhood while we were destitute and disabled, then one should always do so. One should maintain and serve those who impart knowledge good advice from time, from the time of childhood. Those who impart transcendental subject matter mantra knowledge are more honorable and serviceable than all serviceable than all the advisors. So whether you consider a guru your elders or your advisors, if they help you, you owe them something.

How do you go? There are all royals, all new home.

I didn't get that.

The elders in old folks home.

Oh wow.

Yeah. So some people invest. They put the elders in the old folks home.

In India it's very common to keep the elder in the house.

In India it's quite common to keep the elders in the house.

Helpless. How so?

We have a duty. They cared for us when we were helpless child.

So they all have some.

So when they are old and somewhat invalid, we want to serve them.

This is a natural person.

So this is the natural reciprocation.

Our heart was over.

So once there was a jet which was flying over the North Pacific and.

It crashed.

Jet. So the jet, it crashed. It had an accident.

So then my parents said, I sent my son to America to go to college and then they would take care of me.

So then the parents said, I sent my son to America so that we go to go to college. And during old age he would take care of me. But he died in a plane crash. So who would maintain us? Some people are there, very materialistic.

And I see the children as.

They.

Expect this kind of help.

So they expect this kind of help.

Actually, that's why this is a highest activity, because.

So that's why it's mentioned as a pious activity, because what was the last time?

We don't know.

We don't know. We don't know whether it is.

Children will reciprocate.

Children would reciprocate. So I show the match.

Can I make Mika?

Is the font size all right for you?

One second. Just.

Let's make it for the video. This is from Srimad Bhagavata quote from the seventh character Junk. By making plans with determination, one should give up lusty desires for sense gratification. Similarly, by giving up envy, one should conquer anger. By discussing the disadvantages of accumulating wealth, one should give up greed. And by discussing the truth, one should give up fear. By discussing spiritual knowledge, one can conquer lamentation and illusion. By serving a great devotee, one can become prideless. By keeping silent, one can avoid obstacles on the path of mystic yoga. And simply by stopping sense gratification, one can conquer envy. By good behavior and freedom from envy, one should counteract sufferings due to other living entities by meditation in trance. Excuse me. One should counteract sufferings due to providence. And by practicing Hatha yoga, Pranayama, and so forth, one should contract sufferings due to the body and mind. Similarly, by developing the mode of goodness, especially in regard to eating, one should conquer sleep. One must conquer the molds of passion and ignorance by developing the mode of goodness. And then one must become detached, sorry, detached from the mode of goodness by promoting oneself to the platform of Shuddha, Sattva, Jai Ho. All this can be automatically done if one engages in the service of the spiritual master with faith and devotion. In this way, when one can conquer the influence of the modes of nature, the spiritual master should be considered directly the Supreme Lord, because he gives transcendental knowledge for enlightenment. Consequently, for one who maintains the Material conception that the spiritual master is an ordinary human being, Everything is frustrated. His enlightenment and his Vedic studies and knowledge are like breathing of an elephant. Have you seen our elephant? Bees. He goes in the water, he washes himself.

Allah.

He comes up, throws the dust, picks up the dust and throw it over heaven. So bathing of an elephant. What's the use.

Of the third?

He bathes and throws dirt over his body. As professional activities or business profits cannot help one in spiritual advancement. But for a source of material entanglement, the Vedic ritualistic ceremonies cannot help anyone who is not a devotee of the supreme personality of Godhead. Sham 7:15:29.
