Sri Chaitanyamishuram Hari Om Tatsat Hare Krishna Dear devotees, today we will continue with the reading from Sri Caitanya Sikshamrita by Shla Sachitan and the Bhakti Vinod Thakur. Pure Knowledge to analyze pure knowledge in detail will require a large volume. And the primary purpose of examining this eternal religion, the soul would be overshadowed. Therefore, we will briefly examine pure knowledge as mentioned in Rmad Bhagavatam 4th Canto verse chapter 29 verses 49 to 51. Your only activities should be those that can please the personality of Godhead. Our education should be such that we can become elevated to Ka consciousness. Sri Hari, the supreme personality of Godhead is the super soul and the guide of all living entities who have accepted material bodies within the world. He is the supreme controller of all material activities in material nature. He is also our best friend and everyone should take shelter of his lotus feet. In doing so, one's life becomes. One's life will be auspicious. One who is engaged in devotional service has not the least fear in the material existence. This is because the supreme personality of Godhead is the super soul and friend of everyone. One who knows this secret is actually educated. And one thus educated can become the spiritual master of the world. One who's an actually bona fide spiritual master, representative of Krishna is not different from Krishna.

Rise up. And the last stage is two Knowledge.

What's that? Guruj?

I can't hear it.

No, no, I lost it.

The last stage of knowledge Journals so.

The last stage of knowledge is pure knowledge. And.

Her knowledge.

Is.

Very confidential.

And pure knowledge is very confidential.

The pure knowledge by the mercy of.

Ka and one can gain the pure knowledge by the mercy of Krishna.

So he said take the blessings Lord Krishna.

So we should take the blessings of Lord Krishna.

Since he is all merciful.

Since he is all merciful.

And as our true friend he can reveal pure knowledge to us.

And as our true friend he can reveal real knowledge to us. Pure knowledge manifests in five types of realizations as follows. Okay, it's been explained. Okay. The first one is Paresha Anubhava, realization of the supreme Lord Pareshanubhava is of three kinds. The first one is Brahmanubhava, realization of Brahman, Paramatma, Anubhava, realization of Super Soul and Bhagavata Anubhava, realization of the supreme personality of Godhead. As mentioned in the rmad bhagavatam 51211 what then is the ultimate truth? The answer is that non dual knowledge is the ultimate truth. It's devoid of the contamination of material qualities. It gives us liberation. It is one without a second all pervading beyond imagination. The first realization of that knowledge is Brahman. Then Paramatma, the Super soul is realized by the yogis who try to see him without grievance. This is the second stage of realization. Finally, full realization is the same. Supreme knowledge is realized in the supreme person. All learned scholars describe the supreme person as Vasudeva, the cause of Brahman, Paramatma and others.

It says that Ron Maharaj.

So in the Bhagavat in the first canto it says there is Brahman, Paramatma and Bhagavan. So one can realize Brahman by Jnana Yoga.

One can realize.

And one can realize the Paramatma by Ashtanga Yoga.

The only way to realize Kuzak.

But the only way to realize Krishna is by Bhakti Yoga.

So same personality I am.

So Bhakti Yoga shows us the supreme personality of Godhead. Hello.

So risk.

One of Krishna's form which creates Brahman and Paramatma is Vasudeva.

Vasudeva means pure goodness.

Vasudeva means pure goodness.

Krishna is beyond imagination.

Krishna is beyond imagination.

Even the desire to imagine Krishna is not possible.

Even if you try to imagine Krishna, it's not possible. Somehow the Gopis were able to see Krishna. What's that.

They first hear like cursed.

They cursed Lord Brahma because.

He made eyelashes with the eyes.

So he made eyelashes with the eyes.

Eyes they would haunt his. Krishna hung unfoldedly closing of our eyes.

So they wanted to see Krishna uninterruptedly. But the closing of their eyes blocked that. So we don't think of that very seriously.

But there are always because they were Sannats, Hazard and Sankrishna, the Gopis.

Because they were so much absorbed in seeing Krishna, even the ringing of their.

Eyes was too much.

Hell that even the blinking of the eyes were too much. For Brahmanubhava realization of Brahman, one can refer to the impersonal aspect of the supreme that is opposite to all specific material thoughts as Brahman, the Supreme Truth. Paresha Tattva is self manifest in all respects for the soul engaged in the pursuit of knowledge. This realization of the supreme appears in three previously mentioned forms. Brahmanabha, realization of Brahman, Paramatma Nubhava, realization of the Super Soul and Bhagavad Anubhava, realization of the supreme personality of Godhead. When one meditates deeply, the impersonal aspect of the supreme that emerges in the absence of the dualistic thoughts is known as Brahman. However, this is not eternally perfect. Eternally perfect form of the Supreme. If contemplative individuals are not affected by the fault of Advaita non dualism, then through this method they may somewhat understand the relationship with the Supreme. Although this can be called as a realization of the Supreme Parisha Nubhava, it is very slight and does not ultimately lead one to supreme bliss. Some degree of rati may be engaged in it, but in the absence of relationship, there is no possibility of nurturing that rati. Great souls like Sanaka and others are exemplified as being attached to this Rati and taking shelter in Shanta Rati.

So some of the great sages realizes I sucked Krishna.

So some of the great sages realized this aspect of Krishna. Four kumaras and it mentions the four kumaras.

They had.

This.

Realization.

They had this realization and.

There are attached to this.

And they were very attached to this. When they bowed down to Krishna, they smelt the tulasi flowers offered at Krishna's lotus feet. And this produced ecstasy in them.

A kind of rati.

So that was their entering into a kind of rati. That's when they surpassed Brahmanubha. Now.

They didn't have any specific relationship.

But they didn't have any specific relationship. So they didn't have Dasya Sakya, parental love, Vatsalya and conjugal Madhuriya. Relationships.

Progress much.

So their relationship couldn't progress much.

Like Shantarasa.

They were like in Shantarasa.

Understanding how this can be realization, how.

The supreme personality are Bhakti Venattakur explains how this can be the realization of the supreme personality of Godhead. He calls this as very slight realization. Alpo. Slight. Very slight. This is okay.

Since I have no relationship, not possible to really nurture that Raji.

So since they don't have relationship, so it's possible for them, it's not possible for them to take shelter in rati to nurture their rati. Paramatma. Okay, okay. Paramatma Anubhava, realization of the super soul. Again, Paramatma Anubhava is the second type of realization of the Supreme. In the highest stage of the third type of knowledge, which is the knowledge of the Supreme Lord, the realization of Paramatma Super Soul emerges. The Paramatma who is the giver of the results of all actions to the conditioned soul and the doer of all actions in the world, is the aspect of the supreme entering and pervading the universe. In practices like Ashtanga Yoga, the meditation on the supreme is specifically an imaginary or real avatara of the Paramatma. In the scriptures this aspect is referred to as the Purusha.

Yoga.

So those who practice Ashtanga Yoga, they.

Realize our Lord has a silver soul.

They realized Lord as the super soul.

And this takes you a little closer to the Supreme Personality and higher.

And this takes one a little closer to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

I honor you Paramatma in your heart.

So every one of you have got Paramatma in your heart. So he is the one who gives the benediction to succeed any of our material desire. True manifestation of Paramatma Individual Vyashti and collective Samashti the Paramatma manifests in two way, Individually Vyasthi and collectively through collective manifestation. He is the Virat Purusha, the universal form through individual manifestation. He is the companion of the living beings residing in their hearts as the thumb sized Purusha in the path of Karma. If the intentions towards the real Supreme Lord, then the performer of action is a worshipper of the Paramatma. Just in the higher stage of thought, one meets the Brahman to be worshipped. Similarly, in the highest stage of action, one meets Paramatma to be worshipped. So in order to meet the Supreme Lord.

Offers His actions to Krishna.

One offers his actions to Krishna. He.

Helping us.

He accompanies us through the different births. Through the different births. And.

So he can realize Krishna so.

That we could realize we can realize Krishna to some extent. So one can perform their meditation on Krishna as the Super Soul.

Realize what you're doing.

So he realizes everything we are doing and.

He rewards you.

Here he rewards you the the actions results of your action.

I was trying to realize.

So while we are trying to realize.

The Super Soul, you see how he rewards us.

How he rewards us, the different routes of our activities. Bhagavad Anubha realization of the personality of God Bhagavad Anubhava Realization of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Bhagavad Anubhava is the third and highest realization of the Supreme. As mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 2.3.12 Jnanam Yat Aprati Nivrutt Gunormi Chakram Atmaprasada Uttayatra Ganesha Sangha Kaivalya Sammatapatastvadha Bhakti Yog Koniv Rito Hari Kata Suratim Nakuriyat Transcendental Knowledge in real Transcendental knowledge in relation with the Supreme Lord Hari is knowledge resulting in the complete suspension of the waves of whirlpools of material modes. Such knowledge is self satisfying due to its being free from material attachment and being transcendental. It is approved by authorities who could fail to be attracted. As mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 2.9.3 1.33The Supreme Personality of God had said, knowledge about Me as described in the scriptures is very confidential and it has to be realized in conjunction with devotional service. The necessary paraphernalia for that process is being explained by me. You may take it up carefully. All of me, namely my actual eternal form, my transcendental existence, color, qualities and activities, let all be awakened within you by factual realization out of my courseless mercy. Brahma it is I, the personality of Godhead who was existing before the creation when there was nothing but myself. Nor was there the material nature. The cause of this creation. That which you see now is also I, the personality of Godhead. And after the annihilation, what remains will also be me will also be I. The personality of Godhead.

Exists before the creation train of creation after the annihilation.

So Krishna exists before the creation, during the creation and after the annihilation.

So Haruna, he's trying to figure out what's the universe.

So Lord Brahma is trying to figure out what's the universe.

Lord Krishna is revealing to him what.

Lord Krishna is revealing to him.

It's hot. Realizes.

He realizes that before the creation there's only Lord Krishna and he's there during the creation it's Lord Krishna. And after the annihilation there's only Lord Krishna.

Lord Krishna the eternal truth.

So Lord Krishna is the eternal truth.

So he's revealing this to Lord Brahma.

So he is revealing this to Lord.

Brahma showing that Ramayana so we are.

Coming in the Brahma Sampradaya.

He handed down knowledge harmony.

So he handed down this knowledge to Narad Muni, then to Vyasadev, then to Madhvacharya. So we are coming in the Brahma Sampradaya.

He has really confidential knowledge to Lord Brahma.

So he has revealed the confidential Knowledge to Lord Brahma. Now you all have it. Haribo. Haribo Gurmarajaki the supreme Truth Paresha Tattva with swaroop Vishishta the form with specific characteristics is omnipotent and repository of all qualities is Bhagavan of all qualities of Bhagavan. From the fundamental perspective, there is no independent entity apart from Bhagavan. So the position of the supreme personality of Godhead is He is completely independent.

He creates everything.

So he creates everything.

Everything is part of hell.

Everything is a part of him.

Heart understanding a lot.

So understanding about Lord Krishna is very important.

Has holidays.

His activities, his qualities.

Everyone else owns their existence to Bhagavan.

Everybody owns their existence to Lord. To Bhagavan. Hello Haribo.

It's like you have mother and father.

Just like you have mother and father.

Hello, Mother and father.

Everyone has. Everyone has mother and father. But actually Krishna existed before everyone. So he's actually independent.

What? In a town?

What's the image? Okay, so his Leela includes his appearance. But actually that's just Leela. Actually Lord Brahma is the first living entity.

Always Krishna avatars.

And actually all these Vishnu avatars also come from Krishna. They also come from Lord Krishna. They go back to the spiritual world when the material universe is annihilated or wound up.

Some devotees are so advanced that they can see.

Some devotees are so advanced that they can see the supreme personality of Godhead and they can communicate with Him. So people stuck in this material world not able to see Krishna. Originally.

As they advance, they can see Him.

But gradually as they advance, they can see Him.
