20241216 - Pure Ego

Prachari.

For our hearts.

Yadavayanamaha Sudhanam Pangun Langaya Tegirim Sri Gurum Dina Tari Nam Sri Taitanyam. That's it.

Hare Krishna. Dear devotees, today we will continue with the reading from Sri Chaitanya Shikshamrita by Srila Sachitananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur. Pure Ego. You can't hear?

Okay, I hear you speak.

Okay, okay, okay. Guru Maharaj Hare Krishna. Dear devotees.

Hare.

Today we will continue with the reading from Shri Caitanya Shikshamrita Bhaashla Sachidananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur. Pure Ego. Realizing oneself as an eternal servant of Ka is called Pure Ego. Happiness is ever fresh, day and night, always manifesting in newer and condensed forms. There is no concept of satisfaction there. Greed and happiness are abundantly observed in an uninterrupted form. According to the suitable service for the Lord. There are infinite wonderful chambers eternally present among all Rasas. The Conjugal Rasa holds the highest position within this conjugal Rasa, the Kama Rupa Conjugal Rasa is stronger than the Samanda Rupa Conjugal Rasa, the eternal Vrindavan as the base of those Rasas reigns supreme in all Rasas. Bhagavan himself takes one part as the serfed and another part as the servant. In this another form, he performs inconceivable pastimes making each form the ideal form, ideal for the servants in those particular Rasas. In conjugal Rasa, Shrimati Radharani in parental Rasa, Srinanda and Jashoda in friendship Subala and in servitude Raktaka are specific servants of Bhagavan. The only difference is that Shrimati Radharani is the specific division of Bhagavan in direct specific division of Bhagavan in the conjugal Radha while in the other sentiments only Balaram is the direct division. One must know that Nanda, Jashoda, Subal and Raktaka are as expansions of his body in manifest time through inconceivable power. Bhagavan Krishna performs pastimes accompanied by his abode, his companions and associates in this material world. In all these pastimes, the Lord associates all the ingredients for Rasas and the abode of Rasa perceived by material eyes. Material eyes are not under any rules within the material world but a specific independent action of the inconceivable power of God.

So you hear a lot about false ego.

So we hear a lot about false Ego. And here Shila Bhakti Vena Thakur is telling telling us about real ego, pure ego or pure ego.

Realizing oneself as an eternal sort of Krishna is all.

That. Realizing oneself as an eternal servant of Krishna, that's called real ego. Pure ego.

So reaches that state is suggest all the material states.

One who has reached that state, he has surpassed all the material false ego state.

In material world people like to think of Sara Sakshin, you see, in the.

Material world people like to think of satisfaction.

Pure ego state is not satisfaction, you see.

But in the pure ego state stage there is no satisfaction, only continuous happiness and desire.

Desire.

There is only continuous happiness and desire for more happiness. So there are four types of active rashes and.

Friendship.

Parental Kajo, they are servitude, friendship, parenthood and conjugal.

So they got holidays. I don't think we absorb serving Ka.

Devotees are completely absorbed in serving Krishna and.

Krishna.

When Krishna is happy, the devotees feel greater happiness.

All this.

So it's not that they have the satisfaction. Oh, I have enough, I'm satisfied. They are never satisfied, always want more and more happiness. So his intent. So this is an amazing thing.

In the material world, people.

Hope.

Satisfied.

In this material world, people hope for satisfaction.

The idea constantly.

But the idea constantly desire to give more satisfaction to Krishna.

As Krishna is happy, the devotee is healthy.

When Krishna is happy, the devotee is more happy. That's a whole different perspective.

Everybody wants to ask happiness.

So in the material world everybody wants their own satisfaction and happiness. But in the spiritual world everyone wants to please Krishna.

And our particular Rasa, Particular devotee is the teacher who is the best one.

In a particular Rasa, a particular devotee is the teacher or the best one. In conjugal rasa we have Srimati Radharani. In parental Rasa we have Srinanda and Jashoda. In friendship we have Subala. In servitude we have Raktak.

Radharani is a direct extension of Krishna.

Radharani is a direct expansion of Krishna, the conjugal Rasa. In the other sentiment, Balaram is the direct division.

So Lord Harsh, Transients of Balram, volume.

Nanda, Jashoda, Subal Raktaka, expansion of Lord Balaram's body Bhagavan Krishna, he performs his pastime accompanied by his abode. His companions and his associates. In this material world.

Are beyond any material rules.

All the rasas, all the relationship experienced with Krishna are beyond any material rules. They are inconceivable and the independent action of the inconceivable power of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It is stated that there are five types of conditioned souls. They are fully developed consciousness, purna, vikhita chetana, developed consciousness, vikachita chetana, budding consciousness, mukulita chetana, contracted consciousness, sanko chita chetana and covered consciousness Achadhita chetana as mentioned in RMD Bhagavatam 3.29 28 to 33. Okay. Living entities are superior to inanimate objects. Oh blessed Mother. And among them, living entities who display life symptoms are better. Animals with developed consciousness are better than them. And better still are those who have developed sense perception.

In the cycle of rebirth. Levels of consciousness are mentioned here.

In the cycle of rebirth. There are different levels of consciousness are mentioned here. Among the living entities who have developed sense perception, those who have developed the sense of taste are better than those who have developed only the sense of touch. Better than them are those who have developed the sense of smell. And better still are those who have developed the sense of hearing.

How you gonna have the chanting? The Hare Krishnaja sound animals are able to hear.

So when you chant the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra, there's some animals able to hear.

Saw that.

So they get the benefit. They get the benefit. It I Better than those living entities who can perceive sound. There are who can distinguish between one form and another. Better than them are those who have developed upper or lower sets of teeth. And better still are those who have many legs. Better than them are the quadrupeds. And better still are the human beings. Hello.

That's right. I can understand how the animals human beings had.

In this way we can understand how the animals and the human beings are considered. There are some insects who have many legs.

Better than them.

Animals with four legs better than them are those who have four legs.

Better still is the human being.

And better still is the human being.

You're all right.

So you are all great.

But there's other reason how you understand it's not.

Hare Krishna. Yeah. So this helps you to understand Krishna. Human being being the human being among human beings, the society which is divided according to the quality and work is the best. And in that society, the intelligent men who are designated as Brahmanas are the best. Among the Brahmanas who has studied the Vedas is the best. And among the Brahmanas who have studied the Vedas, who knows the actual purport of the Veda? Purport of the Veda is the best.

Sound Evil has started to Vedas, but they don't have the purpose.

In this way, some People have studied the Vedas but they don't know the purpose. And some people, they have studied the Vedas and they know the purpose. So that person is the best. Better than the Brahmana who knows the purpose of the Vedas is he who can dissipate all doubts. And better than him is one who strictly follow the Brahmanical principles. And better than him is one who is liberated from all material contamination. And better than him is a pure devotee who executes devotional service without expectation of reward.

Brahmans.

So amongst all this person of Brahmin who have studied the Vedas, a Brahmin who knows the purpose of the Vedas.

Each level is better than the next.

Each level is better than the next. Better yet is someone who is liberated from all material contaminations. But the best is a pure devotee who renders devotional service without expectation for any reward. Pure devotion to Krishna Ki Jaha Therefore I do not fit into Sorry. Therefore I do not find a greater person than he who has no interest outside of mine and who therefore engages and dictates all his activities and all his life, everything unto me without cessation.

Anyone greater than one who is completely delegated to Sorry. Hell.

So Krishna doesn't know anyone who is greater than one who has completely dedicated himself to his service. If he doesn't know anyone than there isn't anyone. Among these, the fully developed consciousness, the developed consciousness and the budding consciousness. Conditioned souls receive human bodies. The conditioned souls with contracted consciousness inhabitants the bodies of animals, birds and reptiles. The conditioned souls with coward consciousness inhabit the forms of trees and stones. The bondage of ignorance of the souls is due to forgetting the servitude to Ka. The deeper this forgetfulness is, that much deeper the souls with consciousness undergo material suffering. When the spiritual nature is covered, it becomes highly averse to Krishna. Only by aversion. Sorry, only. Okay. Only by association with saints and receiving their fuddas can this condition be alleviated. This is understood by analyzing the Puranic histories stories of Ahalya, Yamalarjuna and the seven palm trees. In the three examples given, contact with Bhagavan itself is the association with saints. This coward consciousness, Achadhita Chetana is not removed except by the association of souls who have developed complex love for Bhagavan where the spiritual nature is contracted. Sankochita Chetana Even there, as in the case of King Nirga's salvation from a licid form, only the contact with Bhagavan is the sole cause by the mercy of the souls with developed love, that is devotees like Narada and perfected souls, souls with contracted consciousness are liberated.

The only way to get liberated is a higher body.

If someone gets a tree body. The only way to get liberated or to get a higher body is if.

The Lord raises you.

If the Lord. Oh, some pure devotee embraces you know some stories how the different chapters of the Bhagavad Gita can deliver. And.

I don't remember how. How.

So I. So I remember. I think that in the fourth chapter of the Gita, I don't remember how it happened.

Somehow two Apsaras.

Somehow two Apsaras or something hot and.

Cursed.

God cursed to become trees.

Reading the.

Fourth chapter, the devotee was reading the fourth chapter.

He said that the Lord lies out and. And it caused both the trees that heed of the curse.

He said that the devotee lied down and he touched both the trees and the trees got liberated.

That was how the curse. Listening to the.

And then.

Peter got tired, so he laid down, put his head on one tree, touched another root.

So they were reading and the reader felt tired, so he was laying down. One foot touched one tree and the another one touched another tree.

So then they suddenly took the form of Apsaras.

Then they suddenly took the form of Apsaras.

He was lying in the sun, so.

He was lying under.

So they said.

They said, gurudev, you saved us.

I don't remember the whole stories.

I don't remember the full stories.

It.

Huh?

The story you mentioned just now, from the.

The glories of the first chapter, it Sam.

8:20. Right now.

We must give you medicine. Medicine.

So they tried to get the sage.

Yeah. This King Nirga was safe from a lizard form by the contact with Bhagawan. So great devotees like Narada can liberate the souls in contracted consciousness. Trees, stones.

Stars.

Some stones have life. They're very fallen.

Heralds of habit. So you just now you were in your previous life.

What's the argument?

There was a path. There was a path in his honor.

Okay.

Find out what you were. Oh, what was the second part you mentioned? Oh yes. Oh yes.

The one before that. I didn't get that. There's a path called regression through which you can know your past life.

Hypnotism, they take a person back his life.

By hypnotism they take a person to his previous life.

Yes. How are you?

And they asked, who are you?

They were soldiers in the war.

Most people they're different types of soldiers in war or something like that. Like some Human beings.

This person, he was unique.

But this person, he was unique.

In his previous life he was an insect.

In his previous life he was an insect.

Flying insect.

A flying insect.

Very rare insect take birth as a human being.

So it's very rare insect taking birth as a human being.

So this insect is an angel, a statue in it.

So this insect went into a fancy building with a statue in it. And in front of the statue there was a plate of fruit.

He loves fruit.

He loves fruits.

Fruit was his diet.

Fruit was his diet.

Fruit Hot. He found a lot of heart.

So he saw the plate of fruit which was. And then he landed on the fruit and he started eating it.

Someone came out, started yelling and someone.

Came up and start yelling. So hit him with a sword. I killed him and killed him. And his next birth he took as a human being.

So I say that.

He. It seems that he went into a temple. So it seems like he must gone into a temple. It must have been the deity and Mahaprashna. And he was eating the offering to the deity.

How are you doing?

And the Pujari came up and starting. Hey, what are you doing? And killed him.

So I died with Roshara in his mouth.

So he died with prasadam in his mouth. It is blessing all of you. Krishnir Matirasthu Hare Krishna.
