The following is a Shri Taitanya Sheikh Shamrita class given by His Holiness Jaya Pataka Swami Maharaj on January 19, 2025 in Sri Ramayapur India.

Hare Krish please. Today we will continue with the reading from Sri Chaitanya Shikshavrata Parishla Sachitananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur, the seriously inquisitive student, O sage, well equipped with knowledge and detachment, realizes that he realizes that the absolute truth by rendering devotional service in terms of what he has heard from the Vedanta Shruti. A quotation From Srimad Bhagavatam 1.2.12.

Seriously, I could have stood up for Sage.

So here seriously inquisitive student or sage.

Long to realize the absolute truth.

They realize the absolute truth by rendering Hajiyoga by rendering Bhakti Yoga.

Ananda Sutra is condensed as a natural commentary.

The natural commentary to the Vedanta Sutra is the Srimad Bhagavata and.

Bhakti Raja.

Had.

One gradually reaches Prema.

So Bhakti Vinant Thakur has explained how one gradually reaches Prema Shraddha Shraddha Parameshwara supreme personality of Godhead is Sarvamaya all pervasive and omnipresent Sarvakarta Creator of all and Sarva Vaniyanta own controller Sarvani Yanta. Deep attachment towards him is good. Whatever other good things are there, all of them are subordinate to this attachment. Karma in the form of one's own efforts and Jnana in the form of intelligence are very limited and finite. Through them Parameshwara cannot be satisfied. Selfless devotion to the Lord is the duty of the living entity. The soul is eternally a servant of God. Association with the material world is the downfall. Material association causes the bondage of unworthiness. Turning away from God is the cause of this suffering. The soul itself is the hateful null without cause, its own bondage. God is the prayogyakarta of its action after the soul as the cause, God is the initiator. Since the soul is not dependent, then cannot act without the help of the Lord. The world is not false, it is indeed real but not eternal. The world is a prison for the uncle Source punishment. God is merciful, the living entity is suffering and the Lord personally accompanies him in order to deliver him from suffering. The Lord is always diligent to bestow upon the living entity the nectar of his unlimited pastimes. Through the living entity's own endeavor by the way of developing his qualifications, the Lord could deliver everyone instantly if he wished. But his inconceivable pastimes gradually cultivate a devotional path for the living entity. This is his intimate instruction and effort. A father can give all his love to an unworthy son. But he finds greater joy in making his son worthy before giving him his wealth. This is the manifestation of the loss of lost affection.

We start out with a little page.

So we start out with a little preach.

Actually I said here.

Actually let's say it here. God.

He loved. God he loved. And then we God said He will be mercy to all living and living.

If Krishna wants immediately in a second he can give out all the mercy to the living entity.

Rather than give his love to an unworthy son, he rather made the son worthy and give it to all the world.

So rather than giving it to an unworthy son, rather he make the son worthy and then give it to him. Give the bath to death.

There's a pride of the Lord and Lord and Savior.

So we should pray to the Lord. We should pray to the Lord to take shelter of his lotus feet.

Have the way how to be worthy to receive the mercy to be worthy.

To receive his mercy.

This is the first stage faith.

And this is the first stage faith.

When it comes to the classes sparks to listen this listening.

So one comes to the classes and starts to listen. This listening indicates faith.

So courage of mercy passes on.

Next up, Krishna's mercy. That's his affection.

He wants to see.

That. So he wants to see that the devotee is qualified to receive it. If the devotee don't reciprocate with Krishna, servitude to the Lord is the ultimate and immediate benefit for all. Also this trust is called Shraddha. Servitude to the Lord is the ultimate and immediate benefit to the Lord for the soul. This type of Vishwasa trust is called Shraddha. We have written sorry, we have written elaborately. But to say in brief Bhagavad Vishwasha Vishwasa trust in the Lord is what is called Shraddha faith. When firm trust in the truth about the Supreme Lord in recognition of one's own smallness arise, the words of the faithful person begin to express the previously mentioned statements. Analyzing the truth of trust reveals that different types of beliefs are beliefs that embedded within the ultimate trust in the Supreme Lord. The form of the supreme of supreme.

Bliss.

Trust as a seed seed of the prayer of devotion service Bhakti la da Vinh.

So Lord Jaijanya giving us this opportunity to put our firm raised her trust in the world.

So life Samya is giving us the opportunity to to put our full faith full trust in the words of.

We see the deities and the temple are very great.

We see the deities in the temple, they are very great. Krishna he creates Ananthokodi Brahmanda while they.

Don'T rescue.

These results Lord Caitanya and his associates they want to deliver all the conditioned souls. So.

All these things underline on this easy life.

All these things come to one's mind when he sees the Lord. The awakening of Shraddha faith depends on Sukriti upon observing the lives of devotees, it is seen that some have developed faith by impartially studying the scriptures. Many have gained faith through association with saints. Some have developed faith in the truth of devotion by practicing their duties and gradually becoming averse to the results of action. Some have developed faith when they have developed dissatisfaction and sense of desert with the fruits of knowledge. Some have suddenly developed faith. Therefore no fixed rule for the awakening of faith is formed. The faith which is the seed of the ripper of devotional service Bhakti Ladha bleach transcends the prescribed rules. Hence it is said that faith awakens only in the fortunate source. The end of karmic qualification and awakening of faith happened simultaneously.

We see that Prabhupada he really gave out his faith.

So we can see that Srila Prabhupada he really gave out his faith and.

Hello everyone, he will start with wherever he went.

People started to develop faith.

And faith may appear in different ways.

Faith may appear in different ways.

That.

There is no hard and fast rule that faith has to come in this way. If someone has the awakening of faith, it's considered that the person is very fortunate.

They're all very fortunate.

They're all very fortunate. If one has the association of devotees then they can go out to the next stage. But if one has faith in devotees, they can go up to the next stage. Good marriage Satu Sangha association with devotees Shraddha faith has awakened. The living entity has become anxious, is completely controlled by undesirable things due to association with material nature. Isharga what can he do to eradicate Ananthas unwanted things? Upon examining ways, he seeks the shelter of the feet of saintly persons who have already transcended on earth. Us yearning for saintly association Sadhusamha he searches and by the mercy of Krishna obtains the association of Sadhus. This is the first sign of the awakening of the premavation.

Wow.

As mentioned in the Bhagavatam Satan Rasanghan in the association of pure devotees, discussion of the pastimes and activities of the supreme personality of Godhead is very pleasing and satisfying to the hearer in the heart. By cultivating such knowledge one gradually becomes at once on the path of liberation and thereafter he is free and his attraction becomes fixed. Then real devotion and devotional service beginning when one wants to hear from pure devotees about Krishna.

Hearing is very bright.

And that hearing is very purified.

And his real devotion and devotional service begin.

And his real devotion and devotional service began. So first you have hearing rank of faith and then we associate with pure devotees and.

In this way we are gradually rising up in this way we.

Are gradually rising up.

As we start the we are increasing in our primary.

Body as we are associating the PR devotees we are actually increasing in our prayer club field. Bhajana Kriya Performance of devotional surveys to Krishna those who obtain saintly association engage in Vajana Kriya of hearing and chanting Hari Kofa and remembering Harinam forms, qualities and pastimes. By practicing the previously mentioned five forms of Vaidibhati the root causes of Anarthas such as desire for sense gratification becomes avoided to devotion. Even though the anattas remain in the body, the desires are renowned. The Bhajana Kriya is the second step towards attaining Prema. All twice born sages by by serving those devotees who are completely freed from all voice great service is done. By such service one gains affinity for hearing the messages of Vasudeva Sri Krishna, the personality of Godhead who is the Paramatma super soul in everyone's heart and the benefactor of the truthful devotee praxis Desire for material enjoyment from the heart of the devotee who has developed the urge to hear his messages which are left in themselves virtuous when properly heard and chanted.

This stage of Vajra Kriya 1 requiring the causal service.

So in this stage of Bhajanya Kriya 1 is performing devotional service to Krishna to Ka.

This stage one usually takes initiation in.

This stage one usually takes initiation and.

Starts to really practice.

And starts to really practice devotional service and get rid.

Of all the Anathasp towards attaining prayer.

So this is told as the second step towards attaining Prema.

Krishna is in our heart.

So Krishna is in our heart.

Desire.

He can see if somebody is developing the urge and desire to hear.

To hear his messages.

To hear his messages.

His pastime like swallowing the fire in.

Helping us to understand the Ananda all is.

For Krishna naturally helping us to understand the unlimited qualities of Ka.

With love, speculation, imagination.

But the non devotees they say this is all speculation, imagination.

We have to hear from devotees.

And the messages are thus gracious and.

Probably heard who hear the messages which are virtuous. And when properly heard and chanted some of the people they are not realized love channel power and they don't chant them properly. Chant them properly like oh, I know.
