20241222 - The soul is conscious and blissful

Foreign. So today we are continuing on Satchitananda Bhaktivna Thakur's Chaitanya Shiksham. The soul is conscious and blissful. Are they all conscious and blissful? Guru Maharaj is asking.

I see.

The the soul is conscious and blissful in the pure realm. This form and nature are eternally manifest in pure form. In the material world, this form and nature exist in a perverted form. What consciousness is cannot be perceived through logic or senses. Only consciousness can understand consciousness. Consciousness is the specific substance characterized by the symptom of awareness. By this substance, the spiritual body of the living entity, the Vaikuntha realm, the abode of Bhagavan and the form of Bhagavan are formed. When the power of will is associated with this spiritual body, the blissful nature of this consciousness conscious entity is directed. From Sandini comes the spiritual body Chiddeha. From Samvit comes will, and from Hala Dini comes happiness Ananda. When these combine, the living entity Jiva manifests. The living entity's body is in the form of spiritual atoms. The living entity's will is a specific particle of Samvita. And the happiness is a very small part of Hala Adini. This is the nature of the living entity. This is dharma of the living entity. When the symptom of happiness in the form of awareness from Hala Dini manifests in the living entity, the Raki Dharma Bhava arises in the living entity.

Already discussed before that in the material world everything is unconscious.

So we already discussed before that in the material world everything is unconscious.

Well, from the spiritual world the consciousness.

Comes and that from the spiritual world the consciousness comes.

And the consciousness from one another forms living entities.

And that consciousness combined with matter forms the living entities.

So here the stripes on earth.

So here describes Sandini, Samvit and Haladini.

Sure, that's Sat chit Ananda.

In short, that is Sat chit Ananda Sa.

We are all meant to be in a spiritual world where everything is conscious.

So we are all meant to be in the spiritual world where everything is conscious.

But somehow we've fallen in this material universe.

But somehow we have fallen in this material universe.

And therefore we're bound up by a subtle and gross body.

And therefore we are bound up by the subtle and gross bodies.

The subtle soul Kaja comes with us.

So for the simple soul Ka comes and guides us.

So you want the jivas of all our souls to desire to be with Krishna.

So we want the jivas, the conditioned souls, to desire to be with Ka.

And that desire to be with Krishna is the most essential thing and that.

The desire to be with Krishna is the most essential thing.

That can free us from this material bondage because that.

Couldn'T free us from this material bondage. The Essential Nature of the Soul the Swadharma of the living entity Jiva is the nature of the Jiva expressed by the words happiness, ananda, love, Priti and Bha. Note From Sriman Bhagavatam 3.9.41 it is the opinion of the expert transcendentalist that the ultimate goal of performing all traditional good works, penances and sacrifices, charities, mystic activities, trances, etc. Is to invoke my satisfaction in the liberated state. It the Dharma of the soul is unobstructed, pure and unrestricted. In the state material conditioning that Dharma is distorted. Therefore, the Sudharma of the conditioned soul is not based on its swarup or nature but based on its relationships. Sambanda Ghata In a life without ethics or an atheistic ethical life, or an imagined theistic ethical life, that Swadharma becomes distorted in relation to material desires. In these three types of lives stated above, there are varying degrees of distortion. In such conditions the Svadharma assumes a completely opposite form due to its relationship with opposing subjects. People with topmost intelligence. Instead of calling it as Swadharma, call it as Vayadharma. Perverse Dharma In a life devoid of morality, the animalistic activities people people topmost.

Intelligence.

In these three types of lives stated above, there are varying degrees of distortion. In such conditions the Svadharma assumes a completely opposite form due to its relationship with opposing subjects. People with topmost intelligence. Instead of calling it as Swadharma, call it as Vayadharma. Perverse Dharma In a life devoid of morality, the animalistic activities such as eating, sleeping and mating are the only attraction. Even the persons following the ethics refer to this as perverse religion. Vaidharma for the persons following the ethics these attachments do operate but keeping some regulations in sight. In essence, the character of the person without ethics is that of degraded animal. These character of the ethical life is that of an elevated animal because in both characters the Swadharma of the soul is severely distorted. Those who lead a moral life with actual faith in God, their attachments raga are subject to contemplation of God. Consequently, the Swadharma of the soul tends towards detaching distortion in that context.

So all the people in this category are actually having started China.

So all the people in this category are having distorted Dharma.

That's why it's not called Swadharma Bhai Dharma.

Therefore it's not called Swadharma but Bhai Dharma.

Distorted Dharma Distorted Dharma So our nature is completely attached to Ka.

So our nature is to be completely attached to Ka.

And unfortunately, most people are attached to our animalistic parts of life.

And unfortunately, most people are attached to the animalistic parts of life. Note From Sriman Bhagavatam 4.21.27 My dear respectable ladies and gentlemen, according to the authoritative statements of Sastra, there must be a supreme authority who is able to award the respective benefits of our present activities. Otherwise why should there be persons who are unusually beautiful and powerful both in this life and in the life after death? In a life of Vaida Bhakta, the Swadharma of the Soul manifests significantly.

So Krishna is the Supreme Power.

So Ka is the Supreme Power.

He accompanies each living entity and as.

Super Soul, he accompanies each living entity.

All living entities are worded either materially with different grades of bodies.

So living entities are worded even materially with different grades of bodies by the.

Mercy of the.

By the mercy of the Super Soul or the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hare Krishna. Note Srimad Bhagavatam 4.21.33 Pritu Maharaj advised his citizens, engaging your minds, your words, your bodies and the results of your occupational duties and being always open minded, you should all render devotional service to the Lord according to your abilities and the occupations in which you are situated. You should engage your service at the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead with full confidence and without reservation. Then you will surely be successful in achieving the final objective in your lives. So.

You see here how Pritu Maharaj is advising his citizens.

So we see here how Pritu Maharaj is advising his citizens how everyone should.

Be.

And how everyone should be engaging in devotional service.

This way they cannot achieve the final.

Goal of life and in this way they can achieve the final goal of life. In the life of a Bhava Bhakta. This is fully realized. The distinctions of qualifications in Varnashram Dharma and in the life of Vaida Bhakta. The devotion to the Supreme Lord with adherence to such respective qualifications are referred to as Swadharma in relation to the conditioned soul. Arjuna's battle and Udava's renunciation of Varanashram duties are examples of this Swadharma. Briefly, it is said that the love of A pure soul is its Swadharma and the devotion of a conditioned soul is its primary Swadharma. Karma and all others are secondary Dharma. That is as per the qualification, they are Swadharma when subordinate to devotion and if performed contrary to devotion, they should be abandoned as perverse Dharma Vaidharma. As long as the conditioned soul remains materially bound, its Swadharma is not purified.

Here how you got Lord Chaitanya's mercy as principal.

So here in Kali Yuga, Lord Caitanya's mercy is principle. And.

If we take the mercy of Lord Chaitanya and if we take the.

Mercy of Lord Caitanya.

He will achieve this higher state immediately.

Then we can achieve this higher state immediately.

So many of the things are pretty.

Many of the things written in the Srimad Bhagavatam are pre Lord Chaitanya.

Lord Chaitanya he takes things.

Lord Caitanya he takes the things from Srimad Bhagavatam.

Which are so it takes one to.

It takes one to what is said.

Here Bhava Bhakti that one immediately within.

A short time that one immediately within.

A short time can achieve the Bhavti.

Vajra can achieve the Bhava Bhakti platform.

The Swadharma is very easily achieved.

And in that platform in their Swadharma is very easily achieved.

Hot in the the lower the isotic, the Swadharma is still a little bit conditioned.

But in the lower platform, the Vaidi Bhakti, the Swadharma is still a little bit conditioned. Note Sriman Bhagavatam 4, 22, 30, 33. When one's mind and senses are attracted to sense objects for enjoyment, the mind becomes agitated. As a result of continually thinking of sense objects, one's real consciousness almost becomes lost like the water in a lake that that is gradually sucked up by the big grass straws on its bank.

Lust to enjoy the objects of the.

Senses so lust to enjoy the objects.

Of the senses as us lose our progress.

Makes us lose our focus on Krishna.

Gradually our spiritual inspiration is lost.

And gradually our spiritual inspiration is lost.

Enchanting the Hare Krishna Mah.

Enchanting the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra.

Crosses the given by Lord Chaitanya.

Engaging in the process given by Lord Chaitanya.

We fill up the lake again.

And gradually we fill up the lake.

Again with the spiritual water.

With the spiritual water. When one deviates from his original consciousness, he loses the capacity to remember his previous position or recognize his present one. When one remembrance is lost. All knowledge acquired is based on a false foundation. When this occurs, learned scholars consider that the soul is lost.

Spirit soul is all in numbers, all types of spiritual things.

So with the spirit soul, there's all types of remembrance, all types of things.

Hotly absorbed and enjoying the objects of the senses.

But when we're completely absorbed in enjoying the objects of the senses and we.

Don'T think about Ka and we don't.

Think about Ka.

The soul is lost.

Then it is considered that the soul is lost. There is no stronger obstruction to one's self interest than thinking other subject matters. To be more pleasing than one's self.

Realization, we should want to have self realization.

We should want to have self realization.

Everything else is better.

If we think something else is better in Maya, then we are in Maya.

We should take our realization of the self of Krishna is the most valuable thing.

We should think that our realization of the self of Ka is the most valuable thing for human society. Constantly thinking of how to earn money and apply it for sense gratification brings about the destruction of everyone's interests. When one becomes devoid of knowledge and devotional service, he enters into species of life like those of trees and stones.

How many want to be a tree?

How many? How many want to be a tree and a stone?

So this idea. All right, actually, thank you a lot, Krishna.

So this idea where we actually think.

About Krishna, where we engage in the Nava Veda bhakti, nine processes of devotional service.

Where we engage in the Nava Veda bhakti, the nine processes of devotional service.

Takes us to the spiritual world.

Takes us to the spiritual world.

Most people in the real world, it is not run money, God sense around the head.

But most people in the material world they just want earn money and enjoy material sense gratification.

Everything we do we should do to please Krishna.

So everything we do we should do to please Krishna.

My grandmother said he has acharyas as children.

So even if we have like Prabhupada said, we should have acharyas as children.

Acharya.

Acharya.

So everything we do, things would start material has done for spiritual rivers.

So everything we do, even if we do what material should be done for Ka.

This right more and more conscious.

And in this way we remain more and more conscious. Even a person endowed with love cannot fully comprehend Swadharma in a purified manner. Only after becoming free from material bondage does this understanding become pure. Through the practice of swadharma, both of the soul's spiritual nature and the love in the form of Swadharma gradually attain purity.

It's you cannot fully comprehend Krishna.

So while we are in material identification, we cannot fully comprehend Krishna.

What? In the stage of Bala we practice our Swadharma in relation to Ka but.

In the stage of Bhava we practice.

Our Swadharma in relation to Kajal charity.

Gradually we attain the stage of purity.

All static.

Indraga Rati or Bhava One experiences the ecstatic love of Ka.

One concentrates on that gradually they can attain purity.

If one concentrates on that, then gradually they can attain purity. Falanubhava realization of the results Falanubhava realization of the Results is the fourth aspect of pure knowledge of the soul. The five types of experiences of results are as 1. Experience of results of sinful actions Vikarma Fala Anughava 2. Experience of results how many of you.

Have realized v Karma fall?

How many of you have realized v Karma fall?

All of you suffering in the material world to the reaction so wrongdoing the.

Suffering in the material world as a reaction to doing wrong things. How many have you have experienced suffering.

Only had risks.

How many of you have only had bliss all your life?

No, it's all right.

No suffering. 2. Experience of results of non actions a.

Karma Fala Anughava I think that's too.

No reaction to experience a karma fall no reaction. 3. Experience of results of actions karma fala anubhava then.

One does some good work good karma and realizes the good effect.

One does some good work good karma and realizes the good reaction. Anyone have any happiness in your life for experience of results of knowledge Jnana Fala anubhava.

So having experience of the schedule.

So having the experience of spiritual activities like JNANA 5. Experience of results of devotion Bhakti Fala Anubhava.

Trying the Kir.

So how many of you have experienced the bliss during Kirtan or Echanathru says or in the class?

Oh, it's hard 8:30.

It's already 8:30.

I don't start on us. The end.
