20241110 - Giving up the assocication of those inimical to Kṛṣṇa

Sri Madh Sudhanam.

Hare Krishna. Dear devotees, today we will continue with the reading from Sri Chaitanya Shikshamrita Bhashla Sachidananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur. Today's title is Giving up the association of those inimical to Krishna. Those who are completely deceitful, consider them as inimical to Ka and abandon them.

Someone who tells all kind of lies.

By someone who tells all kinds of.

Lies, they are considered as another holy hairstyle.

They are considered as inimical towards Ka and to be abandoned. As mentioned in Rmad Bhagavatam 11:26 26 an intelligent person should therefore reject all bad association and instead take up the association of saintly devotees. Those words cut off the excessive attachment of one's mind. Real Vaishnava seva and respect to a general Vaishnava towards those who are simple, there are two types of conduct, service and respect. When you meet a true Vaishnava, you should associate intimately and serve them intimately. Respect all people related as general Vaishnavas. Respect is certainly shown in the form of external service.

I thought the lives here.

To.

Give up all bad association.

So it's advised here to give up all bad association.

People who don't show proper Vaishnava feelings, people who doesn't.

People who doesn't show proper Vaishnava dealings. That.

Association.

And.

How the tiger.

So don't take bad association and one should try to take association of the saintly people.

Service.

Two types of conduct, service and respect.

So there are two types of conduct, service and respect.

I don't know. These are the two guys.

So when you meet a true Vaishnava, you associate with them intimately and serve them intimately. If you associate with someone who's generally a Vaiava, serve them and show them general respect. Three types of general Vaiavas those who are favourable to Vaishnava can be categorized into three. First, those who consider Vaishnava philosophy the best but does not perform themselves. Second, those who took up Vaishnava signs of appearance but are not real Vaishnavas but have respect for Vaishnavas. Third, those who are born into the family of Vaishnava Acharyas and have adopted Vaishnava science and take pride in it but they themselves are not real Vaishnavas.

So with all the holies to the degrees as Sat Ajara.

So these are all devotees to different degrees except Vaishnava Dharma.

Righteous.

But don't actually practice Vaishnava Dharma.

These are three examples of Vaishnava.

So these are three examples of those who respect Vaishnava Dharma. Those who are born in the family of Vaishnavacharyas and.

Vaishnava Sahi like Taylor.

Those who have adopted Vaishnava signs like Tilak. And they are proud of their practicing of Vaishnava Dharma. But they are not real Vaishnavas.

But not real Vaishnavas.

All these three, they say they are not real Vaishnavas.

The second one is.

The second one.

They say they have respect for Vaishnavasi.

The rest the first one they say they consider the Vaishnava philosophy the best.

Do not.

But do not put it into practice.

How always handles a sound shine with.

So we have these different standards. Some showing the Vaishnava signs Achars. But they don't believe that Krishna is Samambonam. Next. Okay. Real Vaishnavism is measured by the degree of pure Ka Bhakti and the capacity to inspire or empower others. As far as one's devotion has become pure and deep and developed capacity to inspire others by empowering them, one has to become real Vaiava. To that extent, if a tinge of pure Ka Bhakti arises in the heart of a devotee, then real Vaishnavism is obtained. Can you please repeat that? Guru marriage. I didn't. I didn't hear that. Could you please repeat? Hi Krishna, can you hear me? Yeah. Could you please repeat yourself?

Isaiah people Scarilla Vaijnava that they are aspired to practice realism.

Those people, those who are real Vaiavas, they are inspired to practice real Vaiavism. I repeat it. Bhakti is destroyed in association of a pretender. Thus the kind of association and respect towards Vaishnava and people favorable to Vaishnava is delineated here. Therefore, person who is not a Vaishnava but is associated or respect in the consciousness of a Vaishnava. Therefore, person who is not a Vaishnava but is associated or respected in the Vaishnava consciousness as a Vaishnava, then once Bhakti is destroyed as mentioned in nectar of devotion, Nectar of instruction Upadeshaamrita text 5 Krishni Tiyagiritam Manasadri Eta Diksha Stichet Pranati Bhisha Bhajanta Misham Shushru Shuya Bhajana Vikt. One should mentally honor the devotee who chants the holy name of Lord Krishna. One should offer humble Obeisances to devotee who has undergone spiritual initiation and is engaged in worshipping the deity. And one should associate with, associate with and faithfully serve that pure devotee whose advanced and ka. Conscience. Oh, sorry. Undeviated devotional service and whose heart is completely devoid of all. Sorry. Devoid of the propensity to criticize others.

Three qualities on someone early on.

So there are three qualities of someone who's worthy of respect. One who likes to perform pure devotional service. One who's devoid of the propensity to criticize others. One who chants Hare Krishna and has undergone the spiritual initiation Diksha and is engaged in worshipping the deity.

So you see here how important it is to have Diksha.

So we see here how important it is to have DK.

And there are.

And to follow it properly.

So that Veda will recognize you as devotees.

So that people will recognize you as devotees. Appearing as a Vaishnava who's taking pride to be in Vaishnava attire, but not a real Vaishnava must be avoided. Deceitful or false Vaishnava. First, those who wear Vaishnava marks for cheating. Second, those who identify themselves as the follower of the Vaishnava crya for the purpose of introducing Advaita philosophy, impersonalist philosophy to the Vaishnava. Third, Advaita philosophy is the impersonalism.

Someone was crossing the Ganges and he was traveling.

So someone was crossing the Ganges and one monk, he was also traveling on the same boat.

He had neck beads.

He had neck beads.

Neck beads were not tulisi, but the.

Neck beads were not tulisies.

So I saw the water and so we saw them.

So he saw him on the boat. So someone complained putting water in your mouth.

I swear on my beets, I didn't put any water.

I swear on my beads that I didn't put any water in my mouth.

Gurumai, they can't hear you.

I swear on my beads.

I swear on my beads that I didn't put any water in my mouth.

Then he saw what he saw the mountain was putting out in the water.

So then the devotee saw that the madman was putting milk in the water. So.

There'S.

So he took the milk out and put it in the pot. Water in the pot. And was adding milk to the water.

So he didn't put any water in the milk.

So he didn't put any water in the milk.

And put milk in the water.

So he put milk in the water. So people in India, these petty people they are very expert. Okay. Third, those who advertise themselves as Vaishnavas to gain money, fame or any other material things.

Three ways that people has not.

So these are three ways that people misuse Vaishnava attire. As a part of secondary rules. It is mentioned to respect all human beings and so accordingly everyone is to be respected. They are not considered within Vaishnava society. Those who are currently associated with Vaishnavas if their pure devotee can also become suitable companions for pure Vaishnavas. So? So someone was telling me Prabhupada was going somewhere and someone was telling him to Srila Prabhupada that this devotee is criticizing him and this devotee is doing something wrong. Prabhupada said stop.

Only one devotee here.

There's only Prabhupada says stop. There is only one devotee here. That's me. Material family. Okay. Material family and Vaishnava family. Okay. One should not have deep conversation with anyone than similar nature of devotee other than similar nature of devotees. As mentioned in Haribhakti Sudhodaya 8.51. One develops qualities similar to those whom one associates. Like jewel picking up colors according to its surrounding. The wise man will therefore take shelter of those of superior quality in order to raise his own qualities. In regard to increasing the Vaishnava population do not have any other association other than devotees. One should give proper training to wife in Vaishnava philosophy as much as possible and make sure she gets initiated. It's a great fortune that one gets a Vaishnavi wife in raising a family. If one begets a child with with a Vaishnava wife then there is no question of materialism. Parents should understand that the child born is a servant of the Lord and must be happy at increasing the Vaishnava population.

Rajna other than life getting Vaijnav children running way of increasing the Vaidna population.

Vaishnava husband and wife Begetting Vaishnava children is one way of increasing the Vaishnava population. So.

Somehow our other.

Increase.

In the world.

Somehow or other we need to increase Vaishnavas in the world.

Preaching is one way.

So preaching is one way of. Oh sorry. Preaching is one way of increasing and also. And also begetting Vaishnava children. So for that you need a Krishna conscious wife or a Krishna conscious husband.

Your wife is not initiated.

If your wife is not initiated, when she should be initiated. So we heard about one family. The husband is initiated but the wife eats onion and garlic. So it's important for both husband and wife to be Vaishnavas or pure devotees.

So this is a Bharat.

So this is Bhai Bhaktivedakar. He.

Goes into detail.

So he goes into detail. Who's the Vaishnava? Who's the devotee? Pure devotee.

Harry has a child. Lord is a servant of the Lord.

So here he says the child born is a servant of the Lord.

Also. He was arising that.

So Prabhupada also He was advising the devotees also should.

Rather children as Vaikuntha kids should value.

Their children as Vaikuntha kids. Sri Sri Radha Madhava Sakibrinda Mayapur Chandra ki Giraj Maharaj ki Shri Panchatatwa ki Shrishi Krishna Chaitanya Prabhunit.
