Hariyom Tatsat. Hariyom Tatsat Hare Krishna. Dear devotees, today we will continue with the reading from Sri Chaitanya Shikshamrata Bhaishala Sachidananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur Continuing with the sixth stream analysis of Prema. The second shower. Second shower. Sixth shower. Second stream. Sorry. So in the Tantra it is mentioned by cultivating philosophical knowledge, one can understand his spiritual position and thus be liberated. And by performing sacrifices and pious activities, one can achieve sense gratification in a higher planetary system. But the devotional service of the Lord is so rare that even by executing hundreds and thousands of such sacrifices, one cannot obtain it.

Haribhakti Sadhar, it's mentioned here.

Haribhakti Sudhurlabha.

Devotional service is to feel the body of Ka very rare.

Devotional service or being a devotee of Krishna is very rare.

Even by executing hundreds and thousands of.

Sacrifices, Even by executing hundreds and thousands of sacrifices, one cannot obtain it. One cannot obtain it.

So radar as Kiranya is rare.

Rla Prabhupada has given you this rap benediction to perform Bhakti Yoga.

Hari Bhakti is very rare and performance.

Of Hari Bhakti is very rare.

One of the renowned neurologists.

Okay. One of the renowned neurologists from Kolkata, he had come to min what is.

The driving force that drew you from America to India?

So he asked me, what is the driving force that drove you from America to India?

I said that it is AC Bhaktivedanta.

Swami Prabhupada and Lord Chaitanya.

And Lord Chaitanya.

So Prabhupada giving all of you.

Process of Bhakti Yoga.

So Srila Prabhupada is giving all of you this process of Bhakti Yoga.

The scripture says of hundreds and thousands hard Bhakta. Bhakti is very good at all.

Of hundreds and thousands of people. Bhakti is very rare.

The Rajana Sirs largest. So rare that even by executing hundreds and thousands others horizons they're not updated.

Devotional service to Lord Krishna is so rare that even by executing hundreds and thousands of other sacrifices, one cannot obtain.

It one can obtain it by the mercy of Hoyana.

But one can obtain it by. But one can obtain it by the mercy of Lord Gauranga. Here in I I refers to Bhakti Vinod Thakkar. Here in I am discussing this subject a little. The Jiva is a spiritual particle. Krishna's abode is the spiritual world. Krishna is the spiritual sun. Krishna's Bhakti. Krishna Bhakti is the nature of spiritual activity. And Ka's name is the specific form of spiritual Rasa Chit, Rasa Vigraha. Vishesha. We have previously said this points many times and provided scriptural evidence. Now by discussing spiritual truth in the company of great souls who aspire for Prema I will endeavor to obtain my satisfaction. If we have pious merits Sukriti spiritual happiness will arise in our hearts. We have no taste for the realization of mere impersonal Brahman. Because in that there is no playful activity of spiritual substance.

Sadakti Thakur, he's destroying. He wants to deviate from or start your own.

So Bhaktived Thakur is saying that he wants to deviate from or he wants to stop you for a moment. Stop here for a moment. Sorry.

Sri Krishna is like spiritual son Su.

Krishna is like the spiritual sun.

He lives in his spiritual world.

He lives in his spiritual world.

Krishna Bhakti is a spiritual activity.

And Krishna Bhakti is the spiritual activity.

Krishna name.

And Krishna's name is Chitrasavikraha Vishesha.

The spiritual form Spiritual Rasa.

Oh, the spiritual form of the spiritual Rasa.

Company of people who want Krishna Prem.

Now we are in the company of people those who want Krishna Prem.

You see introduced some.

You see, if you do some material Punya, you get some punya.

What if you do spiritual activities Sukriti.

But you see, if you do spiritual activities then you'll get Sukriti.

I was thinking about how to help the devotees and Rao, I was thinking.

That how to help the devotees to advance.

And we see that here Rajnathakar is.

But here we can see that Bhakti Vinod Thakur is revealing.

Us.

So here Bhakti Vinath Thakur is revealing. If we have sukriti spiritual credits we'll have spiritual happiness arising in our hearts.

Impersonal liberation.

So he is talking about the thought that having this impersonal liberation none of.

The playful activities of Ka Leela there.

Is no none of the play. There is no playful activities of Krishna Leela are.

Very anxious to come out of this material suffering.

So so many Devotees are very anxious to come out from this material suffering.

He is again and again encouraging us to not except realization of impersonal wrong.

But here we can see Bhakti Vinathakur again and again emphasizing do not so do not go for impersonal realization. In Krishna Leela there is Krishna Seva, there is playful activity of spiritual reality.

This is what Bhakti Gattakar has been trying to give us this world.

So this is what Bhakti Venattakur has been trying to give us through this work. Okay? As mentioned in Rmad Bhagavatam 4.9, My Lord, the transcendental bliss derived from meditating upon your lotus feet or hearing about your glories from pure devotees is so unlimited that it is far beyond the stage of Brahmananda wherein one thinks himself merged in the impersonal Brahman as one with the Supreme. Since Brahmananda is also defeated by the transcendental bliss derived from devotional service, then what to speak of temporary blissfulness of elevating oneself to the heavenly planets which is ended by separating sword of time. Although one may be elevated to the heavenly planets, he falls down in due course of time.

So here Bhagavad is stating.

How.

Things like pious sacrifices and habit. So here is the heavenly violence.

So here the Bhagavasam is stating that how Bai, sacrifice, sacrifices and pious activities, one can reach the heavenly planets.

Honestly, you have to fall down from there.

But eventually you have to fall down from there.

Someone giving you a pass or something. Five star hotel.

It's like somebody giving you a pass or something for a five star hotel.

Stay there. Stay there till the money runs out.

Till the money runs out. And then you get out. You have to go. This is like the heavenly planets.

One just Ramananda bliss.

And then if one gets the Brahmananda place.

What are the four Kumaras like?

The four kumaras.

They had it.

They had it when they went to Vishnu Loka and then bowed down to Lord Vishnu. When they smelled the Tulsi offered to his lotus feet, they started to feel ecstatic. Far beyond ecstatic center, far beyond the impersonal Brahman.

They were immediately changed to devotees.

Then they were immediately changed to devotees.

They thought they had already achieved wrong realization. They thought this is it.

They thought that they have already achieved Brahman realization. They thought this is it. And then they bowed down and smelled the Tulsi offered to Krishna's lotus feet.

And they realize this is much higher.

So. And then they realize this is much higher.

This is not some theory.

This is not some factor.

These are.

So this is not some theory. This is practical. These are four people who have reached the impersonal Brahman.

When they were there and they went to Vishnu Lola. They realized the transcendental achieve thy Krishna.

So when they were there, they went to the Vishnu Loka. They realized the transcendental bliss achieved by serving Krishna.

So that's why we all want Krishna Prema, right?

You all want Krishna Prema, right? Aren't you? Yes.

How many of you sail for the impersonal Brahman?

How many of you sailed for the impersonal Brahman?

Of course, two gatekeepers who stopped the four Kumaras.

Of course. There were these two gatekeepers who stopped the four kumaras.

Yeah, they cursed them.

They cursed them.

They were falling down to the material.

World and then they curse them. You will fall down to the material world.

However, Vishnu ascended.

Then Vishnu asked them, would you like to go down for seven births as devotees?

Three births.

Or three births as demons? He will be killed by me. And they wanted to get. So they wanted to get back quick. So they went for the three births.

So they gave us Hiranyaksha.

So they came as Hiranyaksha. Hiranyakashipu came as Ravana and his brother Kumbakarna. Shishupala and Dantavakra. Shishupala and Dantavakra. Haribol Dashamoola 10 fundamental principles the incarnation for the deliverance of Kali Yuga has shown nine Pramayas truths or conclusions as evidence in the Vedas. This subject is elaborately seen in the Srimad Bhagavatam. The living entity is spiritual. Living entity, Spiritual particle nature has been established by the evidence of the Vedas. The spiritual particle nature of the living entity is confirmed by saying that it's a ray of the son of Krishna. As mentioned in the Brihadhara Nikya Upanishad 2 1st 10 Yatagne Sutra Vishpulinga Vichuranti Evam Evasmat, Atmana Sarvani Bhutani Mu Charanti. Just as small sparks are born out of a flame. Similarly, the Jivas emanate from Krishna, the universal soul. Jiva the enjoyer has the possibility of two residences, the material world and the spiritual realm, both of which. Both of which he may seek. However, Jiva finds himself at the junction of these two places. The Jiva is a particle. So Bhakti Vinath Thakur, he wrote this Dashamola. So this was written by Sannyasi. One is a disciple of Srila Prabhupada and one is his grand disciple. Disciple.

Teaching of Prabhupada.

They have written this Dasamola in the teachings of Srila Prabhupada.

Very nice.

It's very nice. I don't know whether it is available yet to the devotees or not. Is it available yet? Shall I continue reading? Okay. Jiva, the enjoyer has the possibility of two residences, the material world and the spiritual realm, both of which he may seek. However, the Jiva finds himself at the junction of these two places. The Jiva is a particle Kiran Kanna or the race of Krishna who is like the sun. Arkasvaroopa the spiritual nature of both Ka and the living entities. The true spiritual nature of both Krishna and the living entities is indeed observed. The difference is Krishna is like the sun and the living entities are his ray particles. Krishna is the supreme Lord and the living entities are his eternal servants. Krishna's abode, the transcendental realm is Goloka is the direct spiritual abode. And there is no doubt about it. Vaikuntha and other names as Chitjagat, spiritual name, spiritual world are used to refer that transcendental abode. Vaikuntha and other names such as Chit Jagat, spiritual world are used to refer to that transcendental abode.

So Krishna is all spiritual.

So Krishna is all spiritual.

When he comes down to the material world, he comes in his spiritual form.

So when he comes down to the material world, to the material world, he comes in his spiritual form.

He doesn't come like us.

He don't come like us.

He comes of his own free will.

He comes of his own free will just to deliver the fallen souls and.

Not living under the Judas. They are the eternal servants of Krishna.

And the living entities, the Jivas, they are the eternal servants of Ka.

Because somehow we desire that we are.

In this material world. Because somehow we desired that.

So now opportunity in the human form of life go back.

So now we have gotten this opportunity, the human form of life to go back.

To Srila Prabhupada.

He published the back to Godhead and.

Go back to the Chit Chagat.

Back to Godhead means go back to the chit Chagat Goloka O Vaikuntha.

A spiritual world.

The spiritual world. No, no.

Nobody raised their hands very much. They want to ask tomorrow Bhagavatam class. Gurumaraj, tomorrow you have Bhagavata in the morning. So you have to go, right? We are finishing right on time. Go chant your Gayatri, take your dinner and then go to the bed. And then tomorrow morning have to wake up early in the morning, get ready, perform your exercises and then go down.

For the Bhagavatam class.

So we don't have much time. Guru Maharaj, we have quoted something from something which you have mentioned in your app. Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur has given step by step advancement. So if one does this step by step reaction process then he or she can very quickly advance. We should notice if we are making advancement or not. If we are making advancement. If we are making advancement and then not really progressing, we should notice that how and somehow make up for any mistakes. The different obstacles like offenses may stop our progress. We pray to Krishna to avoid offenses. So we notice how we are progressing. Then we can achieve Prema quickly. So the question is the statement if we are making advancement and but not really progressing, what is the difference between advancing and progressing?

Okay.

In your class you mentioned that. You mentioned that Bhakti Vinod Thakur has given a step by step advancement. And so if one does this step by step gradual process then he or she can very quickly advance. We should notice if we are making advancement or not. If you are making advancement then not really progressing. Then we should notice that somehow make up for any mistakes. The difference of ha. Then we should notice that and notice that and somehow make up for any mistakes. The different obstacles like offences may stop our progress. We pray to Krishna to avoid offenses. So we so when we notice how we are progressing then we can achieve Prema quickly. So the question is based on this excerpt of your class from your class. The statement if you are making advancement and but not really progressing, what is the difference? What is the difference between advancing and progressing?

Thanks.

Hari Guru.

Hari Guru.

Yeah.

We should see allies.

So you see that when we get to one point we should see and analyze what are the obstacles. What are the obstacles? Must face mistake that we have made interaction. So in that way we can progress.

Start there.

Otherwise we would advance to one point and be stuck there.

We want to have variation.

So we want to advance and keep progressing.

Hare Krishna.
