Hari okay, okay. Third shower consideration of secondary rules Four string considerations of the relationship between Secondary and Primary regulations Difference between Karma Khandha and Bhairi Bhakti what is the difference between Karma Khanda which is following one's prescribed duties and Pure by the Bhakti? There is a vast difference between the two. Those who have developed detachment from material sense objects are eligible as sannyas in Jnana Yoga. Only persons with material desires are eligible for Karma Yoga. Individuals who have faith in the Bhava Tattva but have neither developed detachment nor excessive attachment to materials actions, Karma Ashakti are eligible for Bhakti no. Srimad Bhadan 11:27 8Among these three paths, Jnana Yoga, the path of philosophical speculation is recommended for those who are disgusted with material life and are thus detached from ordinary fruited activities. Those who are not disgusted with material life, having many desires yet to fulfill, should seek perfection through the path of Karma Yoga. If somehow or another by good fortune one develops faith in hearing and chanting my glories, such a person being neither disgusted with nor very much attached to material life, should achieve perfection through the path of loving devotional devotion to me.

On her job.

One who has not taken sannyas in the Bhakti Yoga process is here suitable for binding. Bhakti.

Is also.

Even Asanyas that is suitable in Bhaidi Bhakti. He is not like asanas mentioned in the Jnana Yoga.

It is not. It was an Ashram.

He lives in the Ashram. He doesn't live in the forest.

Hello.

So people may have some attachments for material desires.

As natural and spirits.

But if we do everything as devotional service by the Bhakti, then Das is recommended one's own occupational beauty Swadharma Maintenance of the body, the nine states of the body and the social activities are all present in Karma Kanda and also in Bhakti Parva Phase of devotion. Note From Srimad Bhavatan 112447 impregnation, gestation, birth, infancy, childhood, youth, middle age, old age and death are the nine ages of the body. However, the difference is that in Karmakanda there are Many conditions opposed to devotion such as the desire for sensory pressure in the form of service to many gods, material honor, some form of violence to living beings, respect based on birthright due to the same caste etc. In the life of a devotee following by the Bhakti there is service only to Vishnu, love for transcendental subjects, service to Brahmanas and Vaishnavas who have perfected in their Karasteva characteristics of virtue and non violence in the form of kindness to all living beings. These qualities are very prominent.

Highly loyalty is fine lots required in Rochelle's lords.

So this quality of Baidi Bhakti is very much required in devotional service.

Ice first country is considered patriot.

So like if somebody is dying for his country, he's considered a patriot.

Well, I would like to serve first dramas.

But Bhaid Bhakti they mainly serve Krishna as the ultimate bond.

I would like heal or run eventually.

So when we perform Vaidavakti eventually it becomes Praganuga Bhakti. But when we spontaneously wants to serve Guru and Krishna.

Here mentions all this everybody.

So here is mentioned the qualities of a Bhaidi Bhakta service only to Vishnu law for transcendental subjects, service to Brahmanas and Vaishnavas who have written hearts.

Who.

Have perfected in the characteristics of virtue and non violence.

On violence.

So eating a vegetarian diet is considered like a non violence. Next relationship between Bhaidhi Bhakti and Parashram Dharma it should now be seen what the relationship is between the previously mentioned Varnashrandharma and Bhaidhi Bhakti. The question is, does one have to abandon or renounce Varna Ashantarma to take shelter of Bhaidhi Bhakti? Or should one practice Bhaidhi Bhakti by duly following that Dharma? As previously stated, the primary significance of Par Nashrandharma is to maintain the body well, to cultivate and develop mental faculties beautifully, to engage in social welfare and to receive a spiritual education for the purpose of practicing pure devotion. Note Srimadvadan 1532, 36 O Brahmanavyasadeva. It is decided by the learned that the best remedial measure for removing all troubles and miseries is to dedicate one's activities to the service of the Supreme Lord. Personality of Godhead Sid Ka or good soul. Does not a thing applied therapeutically cure a disease which was caused by that very same thing? Thus, when all of a man's activities are dedicated to the service of the Lord, those very activities which cause his perpetual bondage become the destroyer of the tree of work. Whatever work is done here in this life for the satisfaction of the mission of the Lord is called Bhakti Yoga or transcendental loving. Service to the Lord and what is called knowledge becomes a concomitant factor while performing duties. According to the order of Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one constantly remembers him, his names and his qualities. As long as humans are bound in a material body, the necessity of Varnash Randharma cannot be denied by anyone. If the knife due to the lack of the after mentioned fourfold education, the life of living beings will go astray and no kind of welfare will be achieved. Observance of Varnarshan Dharma is not an absolute necessity. Therefore, for the welfare of the body, mind, society and spiritual essence, one should follow the rules of Varnarshan Dharma knowing them to be appropriate guidelines. The practice of Varnarshan Dharma is not the ultimate need the living being. Therefore one should practice devotion favorable with that Dharma. Varnashan Dharma is needed only to practice Bhakti.

So.

Are very much favor of.

So some people are very much in favor of Varnashandharma.

Lord Sajuna.

Our Lord Caitanya talked to Ramananda Roy that this was external and.

His son, her son heard.

And he accepted pure devotion for Krishna.

As useful guideline.

So the Parasha Dharma is a useful.

Guideline for the real purpose is devotion.

To Yeshua, but the real purpose is devotion to Krishna.

So I know Sham and only Arjun.

So Varna Ashantharma is only useful as it promotes devotional service or bhakti. Can you all hear me properly? Okay, the steps to cultivate Bhakti. Now the consideration is whether given the extensive duties of Bahna Ashram Dharma, one finds time for the cultivation of devotional service. Shimabadan 11:27 6 My dear Hudaba, there is no end to the innumerable prescriptions for executing Didi worship. So I shall explain this topic to you briefly one step at a time. What should one do when conflicts arise? Firstly, it is stated that if the body, mind, society and spiritual existence are not protected and nourished, how will the higher endeavor which is bhakti be affected if premature death occurs, or if mental disgrace and disease arise, or if severe immoral conduct and bad association come along with social upheaval, or if one does not receive proper spiritual education, how will this, the seed of bhakti, which is faith, have the opportunity to germinate in the heart? On the other hand, if one abandons varnish and Dharma and adopts a life of anarchy. Those physical and mental efforts will be engaged in extreme debauchery. It will always engage the living entity in abominable activities and no symptoms of Bhakti will arise. Therefore, even though Banar Shan Dharma maybe extensively time consuming, it should be accepted as a favorable for the practice of Bhakti art. So the purpose of Varnash and Dharma is to practice Bhakti and this is written about like in 1800 or something.

Varanajram non healthy ones not.

And previously he has stated that if Varnashan Dharma doesn't bring up Bhakti or is invasion bhakti, then it's not useful.

Sa to understand how the progress of Narnava.

So we should understand that the purpose of Varnashrandharma is to achieve Bhakti.

And.

We should take the Parnarsham as a way to regulate our life and stay in the mood of goodness and righteousness and in that way practice Bhakti yoga. Baba Gita 18:47 it is better to engage in one's own occupation, even though one may perform it imperfectly, than to accept another occupation and perform it perfectly. Duties prescribed according to one's nature are never affected by sinful reactions. By practicing the regulative devotional service, the initially prolonged and time consuming nature of Varnarshan Dharma will gradually shorten the limbs components of Varnarshandharma will progressively transform into parts of pure devotion. Initially by observing the principle of Varnashantharma properly, one should practice the five types of devotions as instructed by the Lord to the best of one's ability. The aspect of Varnarshan Dharma that are unfavorable to devotion should gradually be abandoned. Finally, in the life of Abhayaba, Varnarshan Dharma will be imbued with devotion and in a supremely sattvic manner will serve as a servant of Sadhana Bhakti and will be present without mutually opposing karma and Bhakti. Through the practice of Bhakti, the life of a Brahmana will attain the absence of material possessions and will accept the spiritual equality of the life of Ashudra in imbued with devotion, the life of a Shudra, also illuminated by the service attitude towards the Lord and the devotees, will achieve the equality of the life of a Brahmana without material possessions. At that time, the purity of Avaisnava brotherhood will illuminate the life of the four Brahmanas so much that they will almost feel like the beginning of Vaigunta life when disturbance caused by Bodily identification are minimized. Supreme equality amongst living entities will thus be possible.

Here Bhatiya Tadwa is recognizing a line practicing.

So here Bhakti Bina Thakur is recommending that by practicing pure devotion then gradually the Varnashandharma will become spontaneous, a.

Part of Bhakti Yoga.

It will become a part of Bhakti Yoga.

So everyone practices like yoga, bodies like cognitive and aspirate.

So once practice Bhaidhi Bhakti properly, naturally it will awaken our bhakti. Note srimadvadan:1129. 14 such a man sees equally the Brahmana and the outcast, the thief and the charitable promoter of Brahminical culture. The sun and the tanny sparks of fires, the gentle and the cruel, the humble sages by virtue of true knowledge see with equal vision and learned and a gentle Brahmana, a cow, an elephant, a dog and a dog eater. Bhagavad Gita 5:18.

So everything I lucky on stage. 11.

So by practicing Bhaide Bhakti one see everything in a more equal way.

Pandita.

Pandita Samadars so the spirit soul sees all these entities.

The spirit soul always is the same.

The spirit souls in all these entities is the same. But how they have developed their consciousness, that's the difference.

One may have true knowledge, so one.

May have true knowledge.

As holiness and all.

And they see all these entities as having the same soul. One who has true knowledge. Varna Ashram and Bhai Devti Just as the life of the atheistic's morality attains a thoughtless state upon the rise of theistic morality in the form of Varna Ashram Dharma by merging into it. Similarly, upon the rise of Bhaide Bhakti, the theistic morality brings an extraordinary transformation in the life of a devotee. Free from previous faults. Varnarshan Dharma's worship of the Lord was on par with the other moral principles. When incorporated into the life of a devotee, this Dharma elevates the worship of the Lord to the highest priority among all duties. All other moral principles within Varnashan Dharma are counted as servants of the worship of the Lord. Although at first glance this change may seem significant, when this dedication becomes strong, it imparts a new superior form to life. There is a wonderful difference between the life of Varnarshandharma and the life of a Baidi devotee.

So we are interested finally as oil.

So we're very interested to see that all the residents of Mayapur and all the visitors, all the visitors of Mayapur have by the Bhakti.

In the Rajan stars the Lord becomes the alright reality.

In that way the devotional service to the Lord becomes the overriding reality. So the life of someone following varnashandharma and the life of someone following devotional service is very different.

He sees all the rose earth.

So the Bhai bhakta he see the devotional service as the main thing. And the varnarshan that my follower he.

Won'T say all Jesus he don't say.

The word those words he don't receive a devotional service. So when one practice practicing Bhaidha Bhakti the devotional service to the Lord becomes the main principle. And all the other things are just servants. That this difference may appear insignificant. Insignificant but. But.

Strong and hard.

And.

When this dedication is strong it implies a superior. Superior conform to life.

Hello.

You a break for medicine. Okay. I read more. Yeah. Every human being is eligible. Every human being is eligible for bhakti. It has been stated in the scriptures that every human being is eligible for bhakti.

Bhakti is the natural duty of.

Bhakti is the natural duty of the living entity. And all the efforts should be made for that purpose. So we should see every living entity has to be eligible for bhakti.

It's not something extraneous how God said it's a natural thing.

So Prabhupada say it is a natural thing.

Like a baby learns how to walk.

It's like when a baby learns how.

To walk they have the natural capacity.

To walk because babies they have the natural capacity to walk and so on.

The natural velocity of sound body.

And similarly our natural capacities to have bhakti for the Supreme Lord SrimadvaUtam 7619 My dear sons of demons. The supreme personality of God Kenarayan is the original super soul, the father of all living entities. Consequently there are no impediments to pleasing him or worship him under any conditions. Whether one be a child or an old man. The relationship between the living entities and the supreme personality of Godhead is always a fact. And therefore there is no difficulty in pleasing the Lord.

That's a natural altruism.

It is natural to follow Krishna, to love Krishna.

And like God is talking to the sons of the demons.

And here this quote is talking to the sons of the demons. But he's saying that there is nothing better than to serve Krishna. There is no impediment.

We have eight office. Okay. I started on the Dhaka.

So we have a great opportunity by serving Panchatatwa Ramadhava Asta Sakim Mayapur Chandra and Radha Madhava. So this facility is offered to us. So here in Mayapur we can serve the Lord and shield of Prabhupada. We can worship herein. It is acknowledged that all individuals situated in the four varnas and the four ashrams are eligible for bhakti. Even those who are considered outcasts are counted among the humans are eligible for bhakti. But they do not have as much facility in attending bhakti. Their birth association actions and inclinations are so illegitimate that their lives are always akin to that of animals and grows in the material attachments regarding devotees to their bellies, the maintenance of their life force. They are always extremely selfish, hostile to others and unkind. Their hearts are hard. Therefore the path of Bhakti is attained with some endeavor.

Easier for those.

So here it is explained that it's easy for those in the Barnardium system to take up bacteria.

There's a little artillery.

Is a little more difficult for the outcast. But they can do it if they try. Graham has to take dinner now. I was outcast.

I tried for bhakti.

But I tried for bhakti.

I got it.

I got it a little bit. You want to finish the note or we finish here? Okay, we'll finish the Note. Shiman Batam 7, 6, 3 4. Prala Maharaj My dear friends. Born of demoniac families, the happiness perceived with reference to the sense objects by contact with the body can be obtained in any form of life according to one's past fluited activities. Such happiness is automatically obtained without endeavor. Just as we obtain distress endeavor smartly for self gratification or material happiness through economic development and not to be performed. For they result only in a loss of time and energy with not actual profit. If one's endeavors are directed towards Ka consciousness, one can surely attain the spiritual platform of self realization. There is no such benefit from engaging oneself in economic development. Their eligibility for bhakti can be seen through the histories of devotees like Sri Haridas Thakur, the Hunter disciple of Narada Jesus Paul and others. However, it is also absurd that they face many difficulties in accepting the path of Bat Bhakti. So much so that they did not have the advantage of maintaining their devotional life for a long time. Although all human beings are eligible for bhakti, those who follow the Varnarshan principle have a distinct advantage and eligibilityla. Prabhupada Sand.

He wanted to establish parnass.

That he wanted to establish parnass.

What? What? That was still not clear.

But what that Was is still not clear for everyone here.

You see.

Here we see that Bhai Devhakti is important and that the Varna Asham Dharma helps.

As a president. I'm people living in five countries, Rich and we are churches.

So people who are living in foreign countries, sometimes they get permission to preach in churches. I.

Wanted a lecture in the Universal Church.

So I was invited to give a lecture in the Universal Church.

And.

And they're wide open. They respect the Bible, the Gita, the Quran, etc.

I preached for.

So I preached to them and they were very favorable. That was in South Africa, Philadelphia, United States. United States. Philadelphia. And when I went to California, I.

Would call this Universal Church.

I was taught at this Universal church.

Several times, Santo Domingo.

And I also give lectures several times in Santo Domingo. And also I give a lecture in the church in Middle east and Laguna Beach.

Sorry.

In America also.

If you get a chance.

But if you get a chance in any church.

I do. This is personal to the God with all your heart, all your life.

So the Bible says we should follow God with all your soul, all your mind, all your heart. All right. Love God. So when I was in Christianity, I.

Didn'T learn how to love God.

They didn't learn how to love God.

And here in Bhakti Yoga, but here.

In Bhakti Yoga they learn how to we learn how to love God. So we need to spread Krishna consciousness throughout the world. So I saw when I was preaching here to the Muslims. So the stars in the sky.

Trying.

To.

Connect to the sky. Lord says I am sorry.

Is that how. So you turn it over and connect the starts and as large Titania. So we say, you see, you can see Lord Chaitanya in the Islamic.

Intellectual process.

So they don't use much intellectual process. So you can see if you see any opportunity to preach, do it. Guru Maharaj is blessing all the devotees.
