20241122 Consideration of the Relationship Between Secondary and Primary Regulations part 2

Sri Gurum Dina Tharinam Sri Chaitanyam.

Today we will continue with the reading from Sri Chaitanya Shikshamrita by Shila Sachidan and the Bhakti Vinod Thakur. Today's chapter is entitled Although as all human beings are eligible for Bhakti, those who follow the Varnasrama principle have a distinct advantage and eligibility. Part two of this chapter Human life is structured in a hierarchical manner. Even though many Varnasrama followers have eligibility and advantages, their materialistic tendency is noticeable. As mentioned in RD Bhagavatam, March 3, 1244 terrified about to die, a man collapses on his bed. Although his voice is faltering and he is hardly conscious of what he is saying, if he utters the holy name of the Supreme Lord, he can be freed from the reaction of his fruitive work and achieve supreme destination. But still, people in this age of Kali, in the age of Kali will not worship the Supreme Lord. The reason.

The time of living your body if you remember the holy name.

So at the time of leaving your body, if you remember the holy name.

Krishna will heal Dr. Lord.

Then Krishna will take you back to his abode.

Oh, people don't do this.

Still people don't do this.

I don't remember Krishna.

They don't remember Krishna.

As a result suffering a lot.

As a result they are suffering a lot. Therefore you should always chant Krishna Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna. Leave the other languages for later Spanish Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna. The reason is that human life is structured in an hierarchical manner. The life of outcasts is the lowest, first, bottom step. The basic of atheistic morality is the second step. The life of theistic morality is the third step. The life of Vaidi Bhakta is the fourth step. And the life of a Ragnuga Bhakta is at the top or the fifth of the steps. The life of a devotee is situated at the top of the steps. Living entities have natural inclination to ascend to higher steps on the ladder they occupy. To ensure that this natural inclination does not lead to hasty and untimely ascension from one step to another. Meaning that one should firmly establish oneself on one step before moving to the next. The concept of qualification in the form of adherence to the steps has been explained.

Rah has given us a fast track up the steps.

So Prabhupada has given us a fast track up to the steps. You don't have to go step by step.

Establish yourself on the Vaidhi Bhakti.

You can establish. You can establish yourself in the Vaidi Bhakti step and then, and then Raganuga Bhakti.

So the idea is steps fast.

So the idea is that to get up to the steps fast, this is by the mercy of Lord Caitanya and the Panchitattva. The idea is to get up off the steps first Niyamagraha. When time to ascend to another step arises, at that time one should abandon the previous attachment. The desire to remain bound to it is called superstition or Niyamagraha. Practicing the scriptural rules and regulations only for the sake of following them and not for the sake of spiritual advancement or rejecting the rules and regulations of the Scriptures and working independently or whimsically by this superstition. The outcasts disregard atheistic morality and atheistic moralists disregard speculative theistic morality. The speculative theistic moralists neglect the real theistic morality and the real theistic moralists disrespect bhakti. And finally Vaidi Bhakta disregard Raganuga Bhakta. Due to this superstition, many Varanasrama practitioners do not appreciate Vaidipakti. So.

I don't want to be installing superstition rejection of the next step.

So we don't want to be installed in the superstitious rejection of the next step.

We want to advance.

We want to advance as a Bhakti Yogi.

This is a stops for those here in India going up step by step.

Here is the steps for those who are here in India going up step by step.

We see a lot of that. It starts us much of the ladder.

So we see in the Bhagavatam by Srila Prabhupada he speaks about much up the ladder and very quickly we reach Bhaidi Bhakti, then the Ragti, then the Raga Nuga Bhakti.

Always we have to preach to the West.

So all this morality and all those things we have to preach to the people in the West. All these steps, as mentioned in the seventh Canto, ninth chapter, tenth verse, the prayers of Prahlad Maharaj. If a Brahmana has all 12 of the Brahmanical qualification, but is not a devotee and is averse to the lotus feet of the Lord, he is certainly lower than a devotee who is dog eater, but who has dedicated everything, mind, words, activities, wealth and life to the supreme Lord, such a devotee is better than such a Brahmana because the devotee can purify his whole family. Whereas the so called Brahmana, in a position of false prestige cannot purify even himself. This does not harm Bhakti, but only reveals their misfortune. Those situated at the higher steps naturally feel compassion for the living beings on the lower steps. However, until the fortune of those whom the lower steps are vacant, the taste for attaining higher steps by abandoning the previous attachment does not arise. That's the next topic. Go up. I mean, yeah, that's not a rice. That's not a rice. The last thing. So.

The Lohar and the Varana somehow are stuck among the lower steps.

The people, those who are in Varanashram, somehow they are stuck among the lower steps.

Saw, this is saying how Bhakti Yoga is more elevated.

This is saying how Bhakti Yoga is more elevated.

Somehow, guys, reading the higher stats.

Somehow the taste for reaching the highest steps, Vaidi Bhakti, Raganuga, Bhakti, this should be achieved.

Unfortunately, if one does have this desire.

Unfortunately, if one doesn't have this desire, then the taste for abandoning the taste for abandoning the higher steps of Bhakti will not arise.

So how many of the people here.

How many of the people here want to attain the higher stage? Karma and Bhakti, the life of theistic morality in the form of Varanashrama Dharma, transforming into the mood of Bhakti becomes the life of a devotee. However, as long as the life of theistic morality, which is characterized by Varanasrama Dharma, does not abandon the original nature and adopt the form of devotional life, it remains known as Karma. Fruitive Activities Karma can never be part of Bhakti. When Karma matures, the nature of the practitioner of Bhakti arises. It can be called Bhakti and it is no longer known as Karma. As soon as faith related to Bhagavan, the Supreme Lord arises, the right to perform Karma ceases. The Sandhya Vandana, evening prayers and other duties within Karma are specific moral duties. They are not activities born out of faith. When faith in relation to Bhagavan arises, all devotional activities which are forms of subordination to Bhagavan are gradually honored. At that time, one does not feel inclined to perform Sandhya Vandana or other Karma activities, as they would rather attend any opportunity where Hari Katha discourse about the Supreme Lord Hari is taking place. The practitioner then considers that what is the need of continuing with Sandhya Vandana and similar duties once the purpose of Harikatha has arrived? What is the need to abandon this Harikatha for other activities? It.

So, devotee, he wants to hear Hari Katha.

So a devotee he wants to hear Harikatha.

That's why his attachment to Krishna also increases.

So in this way his attachment to Krishna also increases. So eight steps in the Vaidi Bhakti there are eight steps.

First one is hearing.

The first one is hearing.

And then my stop is associating with devotees.

And then the next step is associating with devotees.

And then writing the Bhajan Kriya and.

Then performing Bhajana Kriya and then taking initiation.

Anartha Nivriti.

And then Anartha Nivriti getting rid of the bad habits, Giving up the bad habits. And then Nishta being fixed, Being fixed in devotional service. And then Ruchi getting a tease for devotional service. And then Asakti means very attached to devotional service. Very attached to devotional service. And then Bhava ecstatic love for Krishna. What's that, Guru Mahj? What's that? In that way one can rise up in Bhakti.

As in all others. Right over that's another series.

After Baba there is Prema. But that's another series.

So I want to say all the devotees rise up in their devotional service.

We want to see all the devotees to rise up in their devotional service. Sri Sri Radha Madhavaki Sakivrindaki Giraj Maharaj Ki Gurmaj is blessing all the devotees. Krishna Matirastu Panchatavaki Prahlad Nirsinga Devaki. Tomorrow morning Guru Maharaj should be giving a Bhagavatam class in the temple. Tomorrow morning Guru Mahesh will be giving a Bhagavatam class in the temple. Hare Krishna. Hi.

Guru Maharaj. Dear fortunate DS So welcome to Guruj virtual book table. Srila Prabhupada wrote to Raya Rama on February 15, 1969. Each center should take the responsibility of contributing some money towards the publication of Back to Godhead instead of depending upon each center for selling. For example, if a center contributes $100, we send them copies at cost price to the amount. And it doesn't matter whether they sell it or not. But we must have the monthly contribution. The copies which are not sold may be distributed free to schools, libraries and influential gentlemen. This will greatly further our propaganda. And I am thinking in this terms. Jaisala Prabhupada Marathon Slokan is live to give. So today we have our Nitya Sevais, Balachandrachanna, Vinita Gandharvika, Devidasi Balavaranda. Four small books. Actually there are so many devotees who have contributed. But the names have not yet arrived so I am not able to read it here. So as soon as the names arrives, I will be chanting their names. In this Sridhampur from Kasadesh devotees we have Damini Devidasi and her family. One Bhagavad Gita and 10 small book. One is to 10 ratio is exactly what Guru Maharaj wants. And this is what spells Srila Prabhupada's instruction to Guru Maharaj. In this regard, thank you for being an exemplary example. Damini Mataji, Gayatri Devidasi 1 Gita & Wang Lan Yu 1 Gita Srila Prabhupada Transcendental Book Distribution so all these devotees also getting a special Narasimha Puja in a few hours from now in Sidham Mayapur. And all of you also can please bless them by calling out Nitai Goranga with me Nitai Gauranga While thanking those who are helping Guru Maharaj in good distribution, Guru Maharaj says in his own words of course Srila Prabhupada told all of us to be Krishna conscious, to help others to be Krishna conscious and chant Hare Krishna. But he told me that I should also see that every month 10,000 Maha big books are distributed and 100,000 small books. So I have this big debt that I have to pay every month. So I need a lot of help. I don't know how much that is now with interest because that was told in the 1970s so with interest maybe that's much more now. So Mayapur Sankirtan Party helps by distributing books. But anyone here wants to help me pay my debts so please do contact Guru Mahraj Virtual book table at +919434760402 and also please pause on this wonderful opportunity of participating in the pastime of Guru Maharaj distributing Srila Prabhupada books, even the single bhagavad Gita and 10 small books. And stay tuned for tomorrow's Rimad Bhagavadam class and further in the evening for Lord Chaitanya's class. Now let's do an intense prayers for the speedy recovery and full recovery of Guru Maharaj. Please join me in the prayers. And of course our prayers include for all those who are celebrating their anniversaries today for their well being and blissful Krishna consciousness. Let's pray.
