20241023- First Stream — Sudden process

Blessings to Haruta Madhavi. So today I had my dialysis.

Oh well. Machine downstairs does the work on my kidney.

What's that?

Guru Much.

Downstairs that does the work of the kidney.

So they have a machine downstairs that does the work of a kidney.

I leave me a good time.

That makes me. That makes me a little bit tired. Sorry. Zoom. Zoom. Yeah. Okay. Okay.

Today we'll continue reading from Srila Bakshachi.

And the Bhakti Takuranya Shiksham. Sudden process. Sri Sanatan Goswami was advised by Shishi Mahaprabhu in the sudden process as Sankshara Brahmite kohen baghya Kehotore nadira prabhahe Jino Pashta lagay tire. The conditioned souls are wandering throughout the different planets of the universe, entering various species of life. By good fortune, one of these souls may somehow or other be delivered from the ocean of Nisais. Just as one of the many brick locks in a flowing river knew by chance reach the bank. 22.43 so normally by practicing Sadhana Bhakti one gradually advances.

But sometimes.

In some cases one may suddenly get Lord Chaitanya's mercy. So in that way he can suddenly advance. So maybe it was like the. It's the mercy like we mentioned about that.

And in 1968, I under Montreal.

In 1960 I went to Montreal. I met Srila Prabhupada 6ft.

Some very nice instructions.

And he gave me some very nice instructions.

It's hot about like home right away.

So in that. And my father said, if you don't come right away, I'll put you in the army.

At that time.

At that time America was fighting with Vietnam. So I asked you a problem, what should I do? And he said, better if you join Krishna's army. So I've been in Krishna's army ever since. The rule of the first system of gradual advancement process is suspended in the place where the second system of sudden process operates. Through these three functions of Ka Kripa Sadhu Kripa and the destruction of obstacle as a result of Purva Sadhana previous practice. The main reason for this is the independent will of Lord Krishna as the lawmaker of all laws. This is not reconciled by logic. The Patra in which all the opposite natures have been reconciled. The logical conflict between the between rule and mercy that transcends human understanding. All such contradiction are reconciled in that Tattwa. One day I was a TP in Calcutta. Temple President Kolkata Shil PR came to Mayapur before I came to my. Sorry. Before I came to my pool, I was a temple president in Kolkata before I came to Mayapur. So somehow the topic came up and Srila Prabhupada said, you were born in.

India in your previous life.

In your previous life.

And then I thought, oh, I raised.

So I was saying, I'm very fallen, you know, I was trying to humble myself down. Said, don't doubt the words of your spiritual master. It's like the. Shut up.

Maybe somewhere.

What's that? Good match.

Okay, so there may be different types of kripa, Sadhu kripa. So there may be. There may be Krishna Kripa, Sadhu kripa and destruction of obstacles as a result of the previous sadhana, previous practice.

So before I met the devotees.

I.

Was in a real life.

So before I met the devotees, I was in the material life.

In the park.

See, there were some devotees chanting in San Francisco, in the park.

And I thought they were wearing red sheets.

I thought they were wearing bed sheets.

I guess they didn't have sari in those days.

I guess they didn't have sarees in those days.

One.

And one devotee, he looked at me and he had silak.

I saw that.

And I saw that.

I saw myself frightened.

I suddenly felt frightened.

I ran away.

I ran away.

And a mile away.

I ran a mile away. And I was wondering. And then I went back and the devotees, but the devotees were gone.

Then I asked, all right.

And then I asked, who are they? And then they say, oh, they are the Hare Krishnas. They come here and they just chant.

Then I saw poster.

So then I saw a poster in a nail to a tree.

And I said, brazil of the chariots.

And then it said, festival of the chariots. So it came and it had the details and gave the address of the temple.

25 cents.

Okay, so if you come at this time, you'll get a dinner at a cost of 25 cents. So in America, 25 cents is very cheap. Dumb chick. So I went to the meal and at the time I was supposed to take my 25 cents.

All right?

Anyway, I was engaged in Krishna's service building and I wanted to go on with Srila Prabhupada. I wanted to go and meet Srila Prabhupada. He was in Montreal, Canada. All moral qualities are inseparable in the life of a devotee. By the grace of Narada. The life of a devotee was obtained by immoral hunter without accepting the principle of immorality. By the grace of Sri Ramachandra. The forest dwelling woman Shabri also obtained the life of ecstasy Bhava. They did not practice other irrelevant forms of life that are in between the forest life and devotional life. It is evident from this that as soon as the devotee life was attained, all beauty of their civilized life and moral life easily became the ornament of their life. Different devotees, by seeing Lord Ram they got the special mercy.

Advanced Krishna consciousness.

They immediately advanced in Ka consciousness they.

Don'T have to go through all the.

Gradual steps, so they didn't have to go through all the gradual steps. By the mercy of Lord Ramachandra Shabari, she immediately achieved Bhava. This is special nursing. As soon as one achieve devotee life, moral life, civilized life easily become the ornament of their life. As mentioned in the Rmad Bhagavatam, in every Yuga many living entities entangled in the modes of passion and ignorance gained the association of my devotees. Thus such living entities such as Daitys, Rakshasas, birds, beasts, Gandharvas, Apsaras, Vedas, Siddhas, Chanaras, guys and Vidyadharas as well as such lower class human beings as the Vaishyas, Shudras, women and others were able to achieve my supreme abode. Rutasura, Prahlada, Maharaj and others like them also achieved my abode. By association with my devotees as state personalities such as Rishabh, Parva, Dali, Maharaj, Bhanasura, Maya, Vibhishana, Sugreeva, Hanuman, Jambawan, Gajendra, Jatayu, the Gopis of Vrindavan and the wives of the Brahmanas who were performing sacrifice. The person I have mentioned did not undergo serious studies of the Vedic literature, nor did they worship great saintly persons, nor did they execute severe vows of austerity. Simply by association with me and my devotees, they achieved me. Shrimad Bhagavatam 11.1 2.3 to 7 this is.

To get the association of.

Is how important it was to get the association of Srila Prabhupada. Even by associating with devotees of any kind, we can also achieve Krishna also. We are not so fortunate to be present when Lord Chaitanya was here. But if someone is a dedicated devotee, your association also can spark advancement. So all of you are so dedicated in your service. Simply by meeting you someone can become a devotee all glories to the assembled devotees. Even though one engages with great endeavor in the mystic yoga system, philosophical speculation, charity vows, finances, ritualistic sacrifices, teachings of the Vedic mantras to others, personal studies study of the Buddhas or women's order of life. Still one cannot achieve me. 111012.

I started saying a little.

So by practicing little devotional service, one can achieve Krishna. Okay, the next Therefore, my dear Udhava, abandon the Vedic mantras as well as the procedures of supplementary Vedic literatures and their positive and negative injunctions. Disregard that which has been heard and that which has been which which is to be heard. Simply take shelter of me alone, for I am the supreme personality of Godhead situated within the heart of all conditioned souls. Take shelter of me wholeheartedly and by my grace be free from fear in all circumstances. 11.121315.

Krishna was to the Lord is.

So Krishna always gives Krishna was giving shelter to the devotees who approached him. By taking shelter of Krishna alone, one can achieve all success. The sudden process is very rare and inconceivable. So instead of relying on them, gradual advancement process should be adopted. It is uttama best if at some point the sudden process appear on its own Niyamaga okay, that's yeah, so. So we do this Adhana bhakti, the Rudy mark and gradually advance.

At some time also some mercy appears.

At some time some mercy appears all of a sudden. Sorry, on its own rather than waiting for that, you can do the gradual.

Process and if a sudden marcia appears.

One will tell you if the sudden mercy appears and then we take it as the Lord's mercy. Niyamagraha is to be given up in the gradual advancement process. The duty of the living being in regard to the system of gradual advancement process is to take special care to enter the life when whatever life in which one is situated for the time being, there is such an auspicious seat in the course of habit by which the higher life of the living entity naturally takes place. But the disruption is so much that the desired result does not occur in many places. Therefore, those who desire higher life should always be vigilant about it. Two things have to be considered when moving from one life to another life. The first thing is that the life in which I am situated there is the necessity of steadiness to be firmly situated in one's own position. The second point is that if one has to leave the former position to enter a higher life from the life in which one has been been established, one step has to be taken up from from a lower step and a and place the the step on a higher step. In the work of moving, giving up one level of position and gaining another level of position happens simultaneously. If one is moving up Quickly there will be fall down. If there is any delay, then the results of action will be far away. Forest life, civilized life, merely moral life. Imagine theistic moral life. Real theistic moral life, Sadhana devotee life. All these steps. All these steps. The living entity has to go to the temple of love by passing the rules of gradual progression. If there is haste in any step, the roles fall down due to obstruction. If there is delay in any step, laziness comes and stops the advancement. Therefore, considering both haste and delay as hindrances, the living entity has to rise up gradually before taking steadiness in the appropriate position and given up the steadiness in the previous position. Many complain in full unhappiness that why I don't have Krishna Bhakti. But one cannot see them through effort to rise to the step of Krishna Bhakti. They do not try for advancement because of being unnecessarily confined. May be either in the uncivilized stage or, excuse me, in the civilized stage, or in the material science, or in the atheistic principle or in the theistic principle. So one goes too fast or too slow. That's also an obstacle. If you go too fast, you may slip and fall. So if you go too so slow, then you may be considered lazy.

You have to rise.

So you have to rise step by step. So by doing that you can reach the higher platform. First, he gets confined to some level. So one has to be enthusiastic to rise up. Never become careless. As mentioned in the Upadeshamruta text 2, one's devotional service is spoiled when he becomes too entangled in the following six activities. First, eating more than necessary or collecting more funds than required. Second, over endeavoring things that are very difficult to obtain. Third, talking unnecessarily about mundane subject matters. Fourth, practicing the scriptural rules and regulations only for the sake of following Ram and not for the sake of spiritual advancement. Or rejecting the rules and regulations of the scriptures and working independently or whimsically. Fifth, associating with worldly minded persons who are not interested in Ka consciousness and sixth, being greedy for mundane achievement. If they are confined to one particular stage, how can they get to a higher stage or the pinnacle of a place of a palace. Many vaida bhaktas do not try to get ecstasy bhava but suffer enough in the absence of ecstasy bhava. Many persons are firmly attached to the dharma of caste in the varnishrama and are completely indifferent to the gain of ecstasy bhava or love. There is much obstacle in their gradual process Those who have fortunately received the teachings of Sri Chaitanya Shikshamrita, their progress is rapid. In this very short life itself, we easily earn jewels of love that are devoid of materially designated relationships. And the Poultry Varnashrama Dharma then a poultry Varnashrama Dharma. Those who follow the correct rules of gradual advancement often do not have to take another birth. Those who like dead fish, abandoned their existence in the current fate, float in this ocean of material existence. Sometimes advancing with a tide and falling behind the cab. They can hardly reach the desired place. So here Bhakti Vina Thakur says those who practice Sadhana Bhakti.

Often do not have to take another birth.

They often do not have to take another birth.

So it's important.

So it's important for us to try. Otherwise like a dead fish would be swept around those. So those who are reading the Chaitanya Shikshamrita, their progress is rapid. We should want to gain the ecstasy Bhava and love Prema.

Tears come to their eyes.

Some devotees, they get to Baba and can you see? During Kirtan tears would be coming out from their eyes.

So we want all the devotees to achieve at least all.

So we want all the devotees to achieve at least Bhava who wants to achieve ecstasy.

So once you rise up, even if you have to take Bharat again.

It.

Will be start up again.

So once you rise up to Baada, even if you take breath again, you start it from the Baga platform.

Some.

Some devotees, they also go back to Godhead. So some devotees don't accept going back to Godhead unless it includes Krishna's service. We are ending here.

Yes.
