20241227 - Devotion

Hari.

So we continue reading from Sri Caitanya Shiksham. So sometimes reasons become hopeless and gives birth to atheism, skepticism, Atheism, materialism and the doctrine of Nirvana non existence. All these doctrines are born by using reason without qualification. Therefore, in every way the result of knowledge is inauspicious for the soul.

So considering that Lord Chaitanya.

So Lord Caitanya he's giving us Bhakti Yoga, my.

Reason and logic we become hopeless but.

By reason and logic we become hopeless.

And those types of atheism substitutes take violence.

So this Atheism, materialism, skepticism, all these substitutes of the real Bhakti Yoga.

So rather than accepting the process given thy Lord Satan tries to reason out and becomes homeless.

So rather than accepting the the process given by Lord Caitanya once tried to reason and become hopeless. Devotion 5 Experience of results of Bhakti Bhakti Phala Anu Bhav the experience of the result of devotion is the last experience of results. It has already been shown that devotion is the Swadharma of the soul. The result of swadharma is the improvement of the Swadharma itself. Improvement of shelter and being situated in pure form. In the Visaya impure form. The living entity is Ashraya and the supreme personality of Godhead is Visaya. The supreme objective, the goal of life, Heaven, liberation, the material body, the mind, the distortions of the conditioned soul and improvement of society have no primary result in terms of of devotion. Devotion is causeless and the natural inclination of the soul.

We are all part of Krishna.

We are all part of Krishna.

He is guiding us as a super soul.

And he's guiding us as a super soul.

But if we don't take shelter of devotion then we become bewildered.

But if we don't take shelter of devotion then we become bewildered.

It's natural devotion or the supreme Personality of Godhead.

It is natural to have devotion for the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Sandra and Cicero and one person only.

I was in San Francisco. One person told me there is no God. I don't believe in God.

All of a sudden there was an earthquake. Earthquake.

And then there was an earthquake. Suddenly the door, the neighbor start to shake.

That person cried out, God save me.

And that person was crying out, God save me, save me.

A minute before that person was saying.

So A minute before that person was saying there is no God.

No one else who can save heart.

And then when there is nobody else who can save him, then he call out for God.

This is what we're actually taught. What's natural for us take shelter of Krishna.

So it is natural for us to take shelter of Krishna. Devotion is natural for us.

Devotion is a natural inclination of the.

Soul and devotion is a natural inclination of the soul.

It's not natural.

So it is not natural to be atheist.

It is natural to have devotion.

It is natural to have devotion. So note rmadbatam3,25,32 the senses are symbolic representations of the demigods and their natural inclination is to work under the direction of the Vedic injunctions. As the senses are representatives of the demigods, so the mind is the representative of the supreme personality of Godhead. The mind's natural duty is to serve when that service spirit is engaged in devotional service to the personality of Godhead without any motive, that is far better even than salvation. So the mind natural duty is to serve when the service spirit is engaged in devotional service to the personality of Godhead without any motive. That is far better even than salvation.

So this is what Chaitanya was teaching.

So this is what Lord Chaitanya was teaching that we should render our devotion to the personality of Godhead. That is natural and that is natural.

So all these usual they're always channeling all the deads.

So the devotees of Krishna are always chanting in their beads. They're always engaging in some form of Bhakti Yoga.

I was in the chat.

But when I was in Calcutta airport.

Followers, she asked you a question.

So when I was in Calcutta airport, Mother Teresa followers, they asked me a question because I asked a question.

They asked me. Yeah, can I ask you?

Oh, they asked me. Can I ask you a question?

Sure.

I say sure.

Chicken in your bag.

Do you have a chicken in your bag? In the job in the back, the big bag, because when we jump japa so it moves around a little bit.

I have a chicken.

So they thought that in the bag I have a chicken because Guruma was chanting they have a chicken in the back.

Salvation.

So salvation means that you means that you merge in the Brahma Jyoti. It is better to have devotion for the personality of Godhead. Srimadvatam 3:29, 11:12 the manifestation of unalterated devotional service is exhibit when one's mind is at once attracted to hearing the transcendental name and qualities of the supreme personality of Godhead who is residing in everyone's heart. Just as the this is okay. Just as the water of the Ganges flows naturally down towards the ocean, such devotional ecstasy, uninterrupted by any material condition flow towards the Supreme Lord.

So naturally.

One.

Is inclined to worship the Supreme.

So naturally one is inclined to worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

And that worship naturally falls conscious of worship.

And that devotion naturally flows down to the Supreme Personality.

It's like the Ganges River Hose to.

The baby is like the Ganges river.

Flows through the Bay of Bengalis to offer their doors, all those hers.

So we're trying to encourage the devotees to offer their devotion and service to Krishna. It's not difficult. It's very natural.

It has to be done.

But it has to be done. Devotion itself can solve. Sorry, can evolve and take the form of love.

Love.

Love.

This is the effort of devotion. It strives to elevate the materially bound soul to its true state and sanctify its actions. In short, the result of devotion is nothing but devotion itself. Where there is a desire for enjoyment. When enjoyment and liberation, devotion remains hidden. Actions, Karma and knowledge. Gyana yielder promised results by taking refugee in devotion. But devotion is independent. Even though it is capable of granting all results, is that not provide any result other than the enhancement of inherent Dharma? So devotion evolves into love.

Lord Krishna. And eventually that devotion becomes more so.

People love Krishna, they do devotion. And eventually people who serve Krishna eventually practice devotion. And that devotion becomes love.

Everyone wants material enjoyment.

Want material enjoyment. They go to heaven if they want liberation. They may merge into the Brahma, Jyoti.

And the version.

And the devotion remains hidden. So we need to take refuge in pure devotion.

Devotion surely increases one's devotion.

So devotion simply increases one's devotions.

Finally it gives love.

And finally gives love. Thus, our inherent Dharma in the spiritual world, everyone is absorbed in love. What a wonderful place. Everyone is in love with Krishna.

One more.

8, 26. One more verse?

Yes.

You want one more verse?

Yes.

Okay.

Biroda Nubava Realization of opposition Biro Danub Experience. Experience of opposites is the fifth and final aspect of pure knowledge. Virodanub is of four types, namely, experience of opposites in the nature of the Supreme Lord. Pareshasvarupa virudanub. Note 1. Experience of opposites in the nature of the Supreme Lord Pareshaswarupa the Virudhanu Bhav, the form qualities and pastels of the Supreme Lord together manifest his true nature. When he is described as formless, it negates his eternal form of Satananda, eternity, knowledge and bliss. He is not formless just because he lacks a material form. His qualities are inconceivable if he is described only as all pervading it implies limited qualities. Even though he has a medium sized form, he is fully present everywhere simultaneously. Which is a transcendental and inconceivable quality.

Say Krishna is harmless. Things are limiting him.

So when we say that Krishna is formless, it means we are limiting him.

He has all material form.

He has no material form. But he has a spiritual form.

He also simultaneously has no form.

And he also simultaneously has no form.

Krishna is inconceivable.

So Krishna is inconceivable.

He has various.

Colors, he has various qualities.

Simultaneously. And every universe, every heart, at the same time he's other.

He simultaneously in every universe, in every heart and at the same time he is separate. What's that?

His simultaneously. How does that? How does it?

He's simultaneously non different and different. He's inconceivable.

Or anyone else in this material world who simultaneously assign an officer.

We don't know anyone in this material world who is simultaneously the same and opposite.

So Krishna is simultaneously one and different.

So Krishna is simultaneously one and different.

How he does that.

How he does that is inconceivable.

So right for this alternative.

So we're very fortunate to have this opportunity to serve Krishna.

Because people in the material world try to enjoy senses.

Because people in the material world, they try to enjoy their senses.

That has.

Some limitations.

So love Krishna. So if you love Krishna, that's eternal.

That's eternal.

And the Lord is. I don't want the impersonal.

And the devotees, they don't want an impersonal salvation and they want to serve Krishna.

What is a Krishna?

The devotees of Krishna have more bliss than Krishna.

Amazing fact.

That's an amazing fact.

To understand the ecstasy of his devotees, he gave us a devotee.

Has Chaitanya, even Krishna to understand the ecstasy of the devotees. He came as a devotee. As it. Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
