Devotees Today we'll continue with the reading from Sri Chaitanya Shikshamrita Bhakti Sachidananda Bhakti Vinod Dhakur Coordination as mentioned in the Tattva Sandarga 1.35 to 37 and 1.40 in 1.35 it's mentioned indeed, when that single conscious entity Brahman is endowed with the power of Maya and filled with knowledge, that Maya is subjected to ignorance. Thus, the distinction between individual soul and the Supreme Lord Ishvara is understood as per the Maya this year. 1.36 Then, due to the differences in their inherent natures and capacities, these two entities are perceived to have distinctly different essences. 1.36 Then, due to differences in their inherent natures and capacities, these two entities are perceived to have distinctly different essences. However, their separation based on the hierarchy of conditioning and reflected reality cannot be maintained in that case. 1.37 in that case, if the conditioning itself, being illusory, is considered real, then the subject of such a conditioning cannot be truly cannot truly be separated from him. A reflection's association with its medium upadi and the absence of the original is different from its reflection coupled with lack of visibility of the original established that the reflection is seen only in the limited space. However, the vast space itself is not seen as such. When knowledge and ignorance come to an end, what remains as Brahman is purely as consciousness becomes absolutely pure due to the association of knowledge. The same entity, when associated with ignorance, appears as the impure Jiva. Again, when the same entity mentioned under the influence of the Ejiva's ignorance, when under the shelter of Maya, becomes Ishwara, the same entity due to Maya's subjectivity appears as the Jiva. This results in an apparent contradiction which can be resolved only by understanding their true natures. The third point in Brahma Jnana, the world, is false. Fourth, he who identifies as an individual soul becomes Brahman if he can renounce that identification. Fifth, liberation is the ultimate necessity. Six Brahman without qualities that is Brahman is without qualities, that is it is without any potency. When speaking against practical perception, one must be extremely careful as failing to prove Such assertion can lead to being considered insane. The world is easily perceived as real. The idea that the soul is a distinct minute entity is also simple perception with logic. It is natural to believe that Brahman is the creator, controller and sustainer of everything. To say I do not exist and everything I see is not real. Inside there is one truth and everything else is an illusion is based on that truth. Proving such propositions. If a deluded individual makes such proposition, then this proposition, like the other proposition might be false. Also be false deliberate individuals.
As far here the person.
Who.
Floss her love.
How.
Christ.
Here the first simple box my love is is thinking in this way how long.
It is.
He thinks. Jagat Nitya Brahma Satya.
Science is I was more than all true.
Since he's saying this word is not true.
About just his feminine, this is just his opinion. Architecture shows how his masculine spiritual knowledge.
So Lord Chaitanya shows how they are misusing the scriptural injunctions and.
Understand this thousand.
If you are able to understand, you can also get people to follow us. Because Lord Chaitan has said Lord Chaitanya said by listening to Mayavati's interpretation, everything becomes diminished.
So on this is the opinion.
So this is their opinion.
Partly they are taught us where talk. Also.
Dr. Natal Dapan is telling us how this kind of illusory talk may also be false delusion or misconception. Intoxicated individuals always make such proposals. Sometimes they consider themselves kings and nobles and are not ready to act on such beliefs. So if they consider themselves Brahman, is there any doubt in this? There are many kinds of delusions, among which the main ones are fallacies. Fallacies due to faulty reasoning, delusion due to mental distress and delusions due to intoxication. Human intelligence, when corrupted by arguments, becomes the progenitor of such severe delusions. So one may give such bewilderment as an argument, but as a result he bewilders himself and others. Hello.
How are things? I'm a little.
People who hear these things, we believe them.
Roz, hold on.
That's their problem. In Europe, those who are known as pantheists also hold this view. Among them, a learned person named Spinoza deemed the pinnacle of this belief Theosophist. The Theosophist doctrine being propagated in America and other places is also at Peytavad. Individuals who are proud of their scholarship endorse this view and those lacking discerning power readily approve it.
So hungry us.
So pantheism and theosophist. They are basically Mayan. So some people Those are very intelligent. They end up this field all of us others. They can't really figure out what's happening. They endorse this also without thinking. They approve. They really approve of it.
The persons of me personality and honor. So what's the magician version?
The mess? The supreme personality of Godheads Both they think this absolute truth is impossible. Dattatreya, Ashtavakra and Shankara in our country, those who proudly consider themselves as scholars and argumentatives like Dattatriyashtra Vapranshankara have periodically expanded this view in various forms. Nowadays, except for the Vaishnava's doctrine, all other doctrines are followers of this view. In the Brahmana society this view is often prevalent. The reason for its widespread acceptance is that all erroneous doctrines in the world are less subordinate to our faithful word. Do not face destruction. Any individual or community that worships an animal as God also receives support from Advaitava. Advaitava states that even by focusing on an animal on an animal as God, one can achieve mental purity and stability and ultimately the practitioner can elevate their mind from that object and dedicated to Advaita principle. Thus everyone gradually worship the Advaita doctrine as the ultimate goal without investigating the merits and demerits of the fundamental principle. Those whose lives are devoted to pure devotion practice the simple religion of devotion after renouncing Ayurytabad upon careful consideration.
Those who are hard to renounce how they are going to work.
So those who are dedicated to Bhakti they totally renounce. Yeah, break the war.
And step.
They have to carefully concentrate their things and stick to devotional service. Note From Srimad Bhagavatam E KTO 12:10 6 Lord Shiva replied Surely they saintly Browna does not desire any benediction, not even liberation itself, for he has attained pure devotional service unto the inexhaustible personality of Godhead. Canto 3, verse 25, chapter 25, verse 24 appeared in routine whose attach to the activities of devotional service who always engages in the service of my lotus tree never desires to become one with me. Such a devotee who is unflinchingly engaged always glorifies my pastimes and activities. Pure devotee does not accept any kind of liberation Sadakya, Shasti, Sami, Pya, Saruka and Ekatva even though they are offered by the supreme personality of God. By attaining the highest platform of devotional surface, as I have explained, one can overcome the influence of the three modes of material nature and be situated in the transcendental state as is the Lord. Because my devotees possess saintly behavior, deep intelligence, they completely dedicate themselves to me and do not desire anything besides. Indeed, even if I offer them, offer them liberation from birth and death, they do not accept it.
How the Lord is want to serve orders.
So the devotees, they want to serve Lord Krishna and any kind of liberation, if it doesn't include service to Ka, they did not want it. So all these quotes are from Srimad Bhagavad. The devotees are.
Richly engaged all the Lord's heart.
They always glorify the Lord's pastimes and activities.
Always hang about his hardest for John to know.
The devotees thinks that activities of Ka are transcendental.
Hearts like this are tribal illusions.
But the Mayavalis think that the Lord's activities are a type of illusion. So such desires are attained by the highest platform of devotional service.
Handlebar levels of hands handle.
So as we heard previously, by getting to the platform of Bhava Bhakti or Prema Bhakti, one overcomes the three modes of material nature and he's always blissful. Even if Krishna offers us a benediction to liberate one from repeated birth and death, the devotee doesn't accept it.
The devotee wants to serve hard restraint.
Because the devotees want to serve Lord Krishna. So rather than me, if we can serve her, she can guide us in transcendental devotional service. Jai.
Yeah.
The devotees from Australia we met that day, they are leaving Mayapur tomorrow. So please bless them. There's a devotee from Gurgaon. He's also leaving Mayapur tomorrow. Please bless him as well. Remain Krishna conscious.
Yes.
