20241009 - Third Stream - Qualification for karma and caste consideration

Krishna-conscious speakers explain adhikara, the qualifications needed to perform different actions, and argue that varna is based on qualities and work, not birth. They give examples like digging wells and marriage, quote scriptural descriptions of each varna, and close with a call to distribute Srila Prabhupada's books.

Do you have the Nepali devotees here? Few of them.
Sati David. Hurry up. Rocks Hot.
Second shower. Consideration of secondary rules. Fourth stream Qualification for karma and Varna Consideration. Determination of rights or qualification. Determination of rights is a major proper behavior. A name for qualification is called privilege. Adhikara qualifications are of two types. That is who has qualification in which.
Action and who have qualification in that action.
All people are not qualified to do all pious activities. A certain person. Certain. A certain person certainly worthy of doing a pious activity. But it's not qualify is not qualified of doing that activity completely. Therefore, if one does not, one does sorry. Therefore if one does action without Sorry. If someone does action without determine determining.
The quality, determining the qualification then it can cannot be said whether that action would be fruitful or not. Because of that qualification should be determined in the very beginning. The performer of an action cannot determine his own qualification. So in the beginning should ask the appropriate guru about the qualification at all. It's the function of the priest to determine the procedure while performing the prescribed action. That is why people accept suitable gurus and priests Nowadays. The kind of guru and priest that is being accepted is not the compilers of the scriptures intended. Accepting a guru in name only and a priest in name only is as futile as accepting a dollar. Specifically qualified person of the village should be accepted. If not found in one's village, should search in another place. An example for the qualification to perform an action should be given or it will not be easily understood. Pushkarani well, digging is a pious act. If one digs with his one with one's own hands, then the work is qualified. If one has suitable strength, tools, land and help. If the well is dug by spending money, then one should have money. The extent of amount of strength, tools, strength, tools, land and help or money is available only to that amount is the qualification for that karma.
There is no result for the person without qualification.
When karma is done, contrary conduct happens. Physical fitness, ability to maintain a family and mental reformation suitable for marital use etc. Are necessary qualifications for the act of marriage. The qualification of the person who wishes to do so to do such an act should be determined in advance.
Man had a nice daughter.
So in Bangladesh a man had a nice daughter.
There it was educated devotee and there.
Was an educated devotee who wanted to marry her. Who wanted to marry her.
So her parents had all her to you.
And the father said I'll marry her.
To you when you have a sole.
Employment, when you have a suitable appointment.
So he was. He was saying that to marry her he has a source of income.
So he said to marry her he has to get a source of income.
Like that one. Ali car is particular kind of work is determined.
So what wants Adhikar is a particular kind of work is determined. Thakur gives a crude example of digging a well. So to dig a well one need to have proper influence or money to hire someone to do it. So let's say your name is Goranga Das Govardandas. If you are Brahmachari Das Brahmachari. If you are Grahastas Das Adhikari.
All right.
So Adikar means you have qualification.
So these are more like common sense arguments.
So these are more like common sense arguments.
Trying to figure out in what way is connected to Lord Chaitanya.
So I'm trying to figure out in what way this is connected to Lord Chaitanya.
But.
Want to do a service for Lord Chaitanya.
So if you want to serve Lord Chaitanya then you need to have proper Adhikar.
One can serve the Lord even mentally.
One can serve the Lord even mentally.
They should know that what the requirement is to do a particular job.
So they should know what the requirement is to do a particular job.
Okay.
The qualifications are of two types of I.e. qualification by natural propensity and qualification based on status determination. Determination of nature. Human life can be divided into three periods. That is learning period, active period and resting period. Until the time when the human beings accumulate education.
Till that time.
Their learning period. During this time, by discussing the literature.
Associating and observing others action and receiving instructions. The instinct of the person which becomes stronger. That instinct is called nature of that person.
In many instances it is observed that.
The nature, instruction and association a person in a family happens to be different to the family in which one is born.
The result is that when the period of education is over.
The nature of the person is which is observed. On the eve of the period of action is his nature.
Those thoughtful men.
Who are capable of dividing things with the help of science have called nature four kinds. Namely Brahmana nature, Kshatra nature, Vaisha nature and Shudra nature.
Someone came to a guru and.
I.
Wanted to engage in broadband activity.
So someone he came to guru and he wanted to engage in an appropriate activity.
Guru asked who is your father?
Then the guru asked who is your father?
I don't know.
He said I don't know.
My mother had relations with many men.
My mother had relation with many men.
I don't know. My father is and I don't know.
Who My father is. And then the Guru said, you must be a Brahmana.
You're telling the truth.
Because you are telling the truth.
Other people wouldn't tell the truth.
Other people wouldn't tell the truth. So Prabhupada took people, those who are lower than Shudravanas, Malaysias and he trained them up to be Vaishnavas. They were lower than sutras.
So that's why he said, want to have Brahmanas.
That's why he said, we want to have Brahmanas. So Brahmana, he needs a Kshatriya. So Prabhupada was saying, some of our people should be Kshatriyas.
How he sings around us.
So somehow he said, for every six Brahmanas we need at least one Kshatriya.
Anyway, 10 Rashas.
So for one Brahmin you have 10 Kshatriyas. For one Kshatriya you have 10 Vaishas. For one Vaisha you have 10 Shudras.
Bharat's normal.
That'S the normal ratio. So Prabhupada wanted to establish a whole situation of Vaishnava Brahmanas.
So we will have sooner or less nature. But then by chanting the Holy Name and by Lord Shaitan, mercy want to have a higher nature.
So people might have Shudra or lesser nature. But by chanting the Holy Name and by the mercy of Lord Caitanya they can have higher nature. Just like the devotees, they are vegetarians, they follow the four regulative principles.
And.
They chant the Holy Name. So their nature is elevated. Okay? Sure. As mentioned in the Bhagavatam 11, 17.16, 19 and 21 peacefulness, self control, austerity, cleanliness, satisfaction, tolerance, simply simple straightforwardness, devotion to me, mercy, truthfulness are the natural qualities of the Brahmanas. Dynamic power, bodily strength, determination, heroism, tolerance, generosity, great endeavor, steadiness, devotion to the Brahmanas and leadership are the natural qualities of the Kshatriyas. Faith in Vedic civilization, dedication to charity, freedom from hypocrisy, service to the Brahmanas and perpetually desiring to accumulate more money are the natural qualities of the Vaishyas. Service without duplicity to the Brahmanas, cows, demigods and other worshipable personalities and complete satisfaction with whatever income is obtained in such service is the natural quality of the Shudras. Ahimsa, Satyam, Asteham, Akamakroda, lo bata, Bhuta, Priya, Hitita, Chadharmo, Yamsarva, Varnikaha, non violence, truthfulness, honesty, desire for the happiness and Welfare of all others and freedom from lust, anger and greed constitute duties for all members of the society.
Conscious.
So we want to see. We have. We should have a Krishna conscious city in Mayapur.
Sorry. Sorry.
So in order to have a Ka conscious city in Mayapur, people devotees have to develop these qualities.
So this would be the ideal situation.
So this would be the ideal situation. Hare Krishna. So Gurumaj is blessing all of you.
Okay? Okay. Okay. Sure. Sorry. Guru Maharaj.
Brahmana Nature. The nature from which instincts for the controlling for the control for controlling the.
Internal sense mind, controlling the external senses, tolerance, chastity, forgiveness, simplicity, cultivation of knowledge.
And worshiping the Lord etc are born.
Is determined as the Brahmana nature.
System according to the Guna and Karma of the individuals.
So according to the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna created the Varna and Ashrama according to the Guna and karma of the living entities.
He didn't say Janma Karma.
He didn't say Janma Karma. He said Guna Karma.
Also have these.
So the Vaishnavas also have these qualities. Kshatriya Nature. The nature from which the qualities such as bravery, power, determination, strength, resourcefulness, fearlessness in war, charity, protection of the world.
World governance and worshiping the Lord etc are derived is called. It's called Kshatriya N. So what was that?
Good marriage.
I didn't get that. Sorry.
And the election process we are seeing.
In the election process people have bravery, power, strength, resourcefulness, fearlessness, charity. Charity.
They want to protect the world.
They want to protect the world.
Worship the Lord and Worship the Lord.
Nature. It's very rare.
The same thing with all these holidays in the modern world.
Actually it's very rare to see people with all these qualities in the material modern world.
Maybe resourcefulness, how to cheat.
Maybe resourcefulness on how to cheat.
All of this.
We see that in the ideal world we need to have people with all these qualities. Protection of the world, world governance, worshipping the Supreme Lord.
These are the things.
These are the things that are needed. The nature from which the instincts of agriculture, cow protection and trait arise is Vaishya Nature. Krishi Goraksha Agriculture and cow protection.
And trade.
If someone have this nature then they have the Vaisha nature. Shudra Nature. The nature from which the tendency to maintain one's own belly arises only through the service to others is called Shudra Nature. It's all right. So Lord Chaitanya was saying that the real qualification one should see is to know about Krishna. The nature of mixed lower classes. The nature we'll read tomorrow.
Okay.
Okay.
Sorry.
So Gurumaj is blessing all of you.
