20250130- Third Stream — Consideration of nāma-bhajana according to the eligibility for prema part 4

Sam Hare Krishna. Dear devotees, today we'll be continuing from the reading from Sri Chaitanya Shikshamita by Shila Sachidananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur. I would like to know how many of you all like the class by Mahava Rahaprabhu Guru Maharaj. Only few of us were here and devotees weren't here. So he gave class for us from the Bhagavatam. They weren't here. It yes. Yeah, yeah. He got his mercy.

Many times that he said.

So we write in the Bhagavad Gita Srila Prabhupada. Bhagavad Gita Prabhupada says the order of the Guru should be taken as one's life and soul. And I he.

Too much.

He said that's too much.

I never know who made that statement.

I never know who made the statement by hearing that he went around the world and established Ka consciousness. I recently heard it was Vishwanath Chakravartu Thakur. He made the statement.

R.A. books and Proverbs. How many times he mentioned Vishwara Chakravarti Thakur.

We have read Insla Prabhupada's books and purports. How many times you have mentioned Vishwana Chakravarti Thakur.

I did not hear.

You know that. So. So you know that he was the one by whom Sri Prabhupada was inspired to deliver fallen souls like you. So now we are going through the work of Sri Bakt. If you don't give the riddle of.

Our Anarthas, what is the way, what is the result if you don't get.

Rid of the Anarthas, what is the way, what is the result? Anartha is the misconception of one's own nature Sva Swarita Bhuna and the misconception of Krishna's nature Krishna Bana. From this Anartha is the entrance of turning away from Krishna Krishna Bahir Mukatha and as a result gradually entering the cycle of Maya on the parts of Khaimah. This is the cause of the world full of happiness and sorrow. By giving up the endeavour of being averse to Ka which is the reasoning born out of material knowledge in the form of discarding irrelevant aspects Atan Virasana through the practices of Ashtanga Yoga in the path of Karma Marga and Sankhya Vichara in the path of Gyanamarga and when one takes shelter of Bhakti Yoga only when through the simple Samadhi of the Jiva by pure light of knowledge do all principles become clear. Material happiness and so on is seen as trivial as and love for Krishna awakens when there is faith in Pyobhakti the living entity's innate effort arises Only by this happens the mercy of spiritual son Sri Krishna. Without the strength of this mercy, there is no other means to eradicate unwanted things and Arthur in attaining self upliftment. Someone told me a pastime of Srila Prabhupada telling people to take up bhakti.

And one person stood up.

Life, enjoy.

Life, come back to Krishna.

And after enjoying life we can come back to Krishna and we can be a better devotee.

Prabhupada said if that was true, pigs would be the best always.

And Prabhupada said if that was true, then pigs would be the best devotees. So actually we see that in devotional service there is more happiness.

How switching over how much hell, how does sorrow.

Actually we have to go through the switching over from material happiness and sorrow. What was the last thing to transcendental happiness.

Naturally starts out.

It initially starts off little subtle and then it gradually increases. Only one is One is completely overwhelmed by by spiritual bliss.

People misunderstanding.

So people misunderstand. They have misconceptions about Krishna consciousness. They think that the material world is place pleasure.

Dry and austere and the.

Spiritual world is dry and austere.

This is the.

So this is the interim stage. So people they see from this stage why these devotees are eating Pasha, they are not eating meat and fish. We only have sex within marriage like this. They are seeing things from a material viewpoint. But they don't actually understand that Krishna.

Is transcendental and his service is our real nature.

His service is our real nature. This is the translation of those verses from the Upanishad. The supreme Lord is not obtained by expert explanations, by vast intelligence or even by much sharing. Is obtained only by one whom He Himself chooses. To such a person he manifests his own form. The Supreme Lord is not attained by one who has no spiritual strength, devotional service, who is wild or careless or whose austerities are not appropriate. The Lord appears before a person who strives by right means, spiritual strength, sober carefulness and appropriate austerity. To attain him, such a person enters the spiritual world. So Prabhupada's interpretation of the first line of this verse. One cannot attain the goal of life without the mercy of Balaram. Without the mercy of Balaram you cannot understand, you cannot realize your spiritual identification. The purport is that one cannot attain the supreme platform by self realization without being sufficiently favored by Balaram. Bala means Bala does not mean physical strength. No one can attain spiritual perfection by physical strength. One must have spiritual strength which is infused by Bala. Ramasanka, Anantha or Seshanath is the source of the power which sustains all planets in their different positions. Is said to be the incarnation of Ananta.

Before he came.

Before he came, it was very difficult to get initiation in the Shri Sampradaya is the source of Ananta. He seems to be giving blessings to Ananaja 18 times. In order for Ramanuja to get initiation, he had to approach his guru for 18 times. Each time he was refused. Finally on the 18th time, he was accepted. Our manager became a guru. He initiated so many people. Can you hear me right now? He established 64 MUTs to propagate Vaismyasis 30,000 disciples. Anyway, we need the mercy of Balaram who is Lord Nithyananda in Chaupinola. In the path of pure devotion, simple faith is the root cause of natural Samadhi. When the auspicious day of grasses realization dawned, doubts arose regarding all the arrangements of Karmakanda creative activities in Gyanakanda Philosophical research. According to the questions of his spiritual master Sri Narada Goswami, he said to him, oh Lord, I have indeed acquired all the knowledge you have spoken of. Yet why does my soul remain unsatisfied? O son of Brahma, please tell me the incomprehensible unspoken root cause of this condition. I am extremely distressed in seeking your guidance and seeking your guidance as mentioned in the Bhagavatam 1.1 5.5 Shivyasudeva said, All you have said about me is perfectly correct. Despite all his, I am not pacified. I therefore question you about the root cause of my dissatisfaction. For you are a man of unlimited knowledge due to your being the offspring of one Brahma who is self born without mundane father and mother. Then Narada Goswami said, O Vyasa, you have not endeavored to make the pure transcendental pastimes of Bhagavan arise. The way you have extensively described the four pursuits Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha in other Pryanas, Vedanta Sutras and Shri Mahabharata. Due to this, you are not feeling satisfaction in your own smallness. The extreme establishment of Varnasrama as the eternal duty Swadharma for the conditioned soul has caused great discrepancy. If someone renounces such temporary Swadharma and engages in Hari Bhajan devotion to Hari and falls down in an immature state. That in other hand, if one remains steadfast state first in such temporary Swarvarma and does not engage in Hari Bhajan, what the rare benefit does he achieve in that? Who wrote all the shastras? He wasn't feeling satisfied. Who's the son of Brahmadiv? He was a mere bar. The son of a maid servant. In his next life he became Narayapni, the son of Lord Brahma. He is the most exalted Rishi in the whole universe. How important it is for us to engage in devotional service gave this instruction to. Therefore we have this Bhagavatam as mentioned in The Srimad Bhagavatam 1.5.1 man who has forsaken his material occupations to engage in the devotional service of the Lord may sometimes fall down while in an immature stage. Yet there is no danger of him being unsuccessful. On the other hand, a non devotee, though fully engaged in occupational duty does not gain anything from this instruction. It is known that there is no other way regarding Hari Bhajan. Hari Bhajan Devotional service to Lord Hari by taking exclusive shelter under holy name and worship of Hari, the leading entity attains all benefits, is the most merciful in his process of Ka consciousness. If they want, one can get married.

Most of the horrors.

Not all of them were worried so not most of the followers of Lord Chaitanya, not all of them. And they engaged in devotional service. I told one of my disciples who wanted to get married. His wife is six months expecting.

And sells at least 60 Bhagavam sets.

Every day he goes out and sells at least 60 Bhagavam sets. It's not that if you're married you don't do service. We want devotees to do service. Said that he wanted his Grihasta followers to be paramsas and he wanted Acharyas to be born. He said that we need a lot of Acharyas. I don't think anyone ever has spoken like this. Having spoken like this, O King, constant chanting of the holy name of the Lord after the ways of the great authorities is the doubtless and fearless way of success for all, including those who are free from all material desires, those who are desirous of all material enjoyment and also those who are self satisfied by the dint of transcendental knowledge. 2111 Srimad Bhagavatam 8 17. Yeah, we'll end here.

Yeah.

It'S a very important verse.

How Chanting.

By chanting the holy name of the Lord, one of you from all material desires. What was the last part? Gurumaj, self satisfied by the dint of transcendental knowledge gave us the system South Africa. We can receive this and this is doubtless and fearless way of success. Let's welcome all of them. Special blessings to all those devotees.
