Hare Krishna Dear Devotees Hare Krishna Dear devotees, Today we will continue with the reading from Sri Chaitanya Shrik Shamrita by Ashla Sachitananda Bhakti Vinod Thakur note Sikshastakam verse 3 Tranadapi Suni Chena tarora PI Sahishnuna Amani na mana Kirtaniyya Sadaharihi One who thinks himself lower than the grass, who is more tolerant than a tree, and who does not expect personal honour, but is always prepared to give all respect to others can very easily always chant the holy name of the Lord.

So what I done now was expecting people to chant this third verse of the Sikshyata.

So Lord Caitanya was expecting people to chant this third verse of Sikshastaka.

Always.

Chant the holy Name and first to always chant the holy name.

And he was preparing others to also.

Chant and he was also preparing others to chant also to chant. Vacho vegam Manasa kroda vegam Jiva vegam Udara Upasta vegam Etan vega nyo Vishaheta Diraha Sarvan Apiman Sarvan Apiman Prithvim Sa Shishyad A sober person who can tolerate the urge to speak the mind's demand, the actions of anger and the urges of the tongue, belly and genitals is qualified to make disciples all over the world. Quotation from Upadeshamrita Nectar of Instruction Verse.

Number one so one can control the urges of the tongue, belly and genitals.

If one can control the urges of the tongue, belly and genitals, he can.

Make disciples all over the world.

He can make disciples all over the world like this Sadhana only is the process of clearing the field. Yukta Vairagya Just as one tames a horse, it is necessary to engage the mind with selected chosen sense, objects, topics, items perceived by the senses and bring it under self control, keeping it under self discipline. This is Yukta Vairagya Bhajan is benefited only through this Yukta vairagya. There isn't as much benefit by dry renunciation.

So we use the Yukta Vya.

So we use the Yukta bhairakya rather.

Than the dry renunciation.

Rather than the dry renunciation.

Advise his followers to practice Yoga Dharga.

Lord Caitanya advised his followers to practice Yukta Vairagya. A quotation From Srimad Bhagavatam 11.20.19 Whenever the mind being concentrated on the spiritual platform is suddenly deviated from its spiritual position, which one should carefully bring it under the control of the self by following the prescribed means, Bhakti Vinod Thakur further explains process for the growth of the creeper of devotional service. That creeper of devotional service grows gradually by watering with hearing, chanting and remembering. The spiritual nature of the Kreepa of devotional service is such that it cannot remain confined to this material world. While crossing over the 14 worlds of this material Brahmanda universe and transcending the Viraja river, it pierces through the Brahma Loka and reaches the spiritual sky. This is the transcendental nature of the spiritual substance beyond matter. Knowledge of the constitutional position of one's self becomes with the slightest effort and eagerness of of the devotee and leads the soul to the creeper of devotional service of the devotee to one's own spiritual kingdom beyond matter. Gradually it ascends to the topmost region of Golok Vrindavan. There the creeper expands and bear the fruit of love upon reaching the desired tree of Krishna's lotus feet. Herein in the material world, the gardener constantly waters the creeper with hearing and chanting. Once it crosses the Viraja river, there is no more fear of falling down for the creeper of devotional service. After crossing the Viraja river, the creeper no longer has the fear of degradation. Can you hear him? Yeah, they could.

As we cross the Raja river and enter into the spiritual world, so if.

We cross the Viraja river and enter into the spiritual world, there is no fear of degradation. Then there is no fear of degradation.

We can reach the Lord's seat, our Lord.

We can reach the lotus feet of Lord Krishna. This is in Goloka Vrindavan, obstacles. This is the next subtopic. As long as the creeper remains bound within the material Brahmanda composed of Prakriti, Mahatatva, Ahankara, form, taste, smell, touch, sound. The five knowledge, acquiring senses, the five working senses, the mind, earth, water, fire, air, ether, goodness, passion and ignorance, there may be obstacles to its progress. However, when the creeper attains the transcendental platform, it becomes penetratable and unbreakable and rises upward by its own inherent nature and glory as long as it remains in the material realm. The gardener must be cautious about two things.

Who is the gardener?

The sadhaka.

Who is the gardener?

The sadhakas.

You are all gardener.

Who? Who's the gardener? Yeah. I should repeat that. Who's the gardener? Yeah.

One of the two things we have to rely on.

So what are the two things we have to be cautious about? Okay. I don't know. I think Vaishnavara. Then save up. Yeah. Okay, let's go. Next. He's not saying anything. Offense to Vaishnavas. Just as the elephant of Vaishnava, offense should not come and trample the creeper. For this reason, it is necessary to construct an enclosure in the form of solitary devotional practice and the shelter of saintly association. Note. In this third shower. Sorry. In the third shower there is a description of offenses in devotional service, Seva and offences against the Holy Name Namaprada. Regarding offenses toward the pure devotee, it is stated in Upadesha amrita verse number 6. Drishtay Swabhava Janiteira Pushe na Prakritatvakta Janasya Pashet Gangambasham Nakalubudbudha Faina Fankher Brahmadra Vattu Mapagachati Nira Dharmehi. Once situated in his original Ka conscious position, a pure devotee does not identify with the body. Such a devotee should not be seen from a materialistic point of view. Indeed, one should overlook a devotee's having a body born of a low family, a body with bad complexion, a deformed body, or a diseased or infirm body. According to the ordinary vision, such imperfections may seem prominent in the body of a pure devotee. But despite such seeming defects, defects, the body of a pure devotee cannot be polluted. It is exactly like the waters of the Ganges, which is sometimes during the rainy season are full of bubbles, foam and mud. The Ganges waters do not become polluted. Those who are advanced in spiritual understanding will bathe in the Ganges without considering the condition of the water. Faults arising from one's own nature, low birth, past sins, accidental faults, residual sins, physical faults, defects in appearance, behavior contrary to the injunctions of the Smriti scriptures, misconduct and despicable conditions due to old age and disease. Criticizing a pure devotee by pointing out these faults constitutes an offense against the Vaishnavas. If one criticizes a pure devotee by pointing out this faults, it constitutes an offense against a Vaishnava which is called Vaishnava Aparadha in the company Bhakti Veenathakur continues in the company of pure Vaishnavas. These disturbances cannot come improper conduct and other weeds such as hypocrisy. Another cautionary such as hypocrisy. Another cautionary point is that as this creeper grows due to bad association in the material world, several weeds may arise along with the creeper. This can include desire for enjoyment, desire for liberation, improper conduct, duplicity, that is Hypocrisy, cheating and fraudulence, Jihu, violence toward living beings, Nija, laba, cheshta, striving for personal gain, San man, prestige, pratishta, vasana, desire for fame, and so on. Many such upashakas, weeds, upa.

Struck out with the hati yarn.

There are many weeds which may sprout out with the with the creeper.

So you know, there are weeds which come loud project. Some of them may want.

So there are weeds which may come Pratistasa la puja. Someone may want to have recognition or they may want or they may want some kind of prophet or to do.

Violence against other living or they do.

Violence against other living entities.

So in the devotional service we should stay far away.

So in devotional service we should stay far away from all these things. So.

There are some weeds which can come up when one is in the material world.

So there are some weeds which may come up when one is in this material world.

So you should be very careful.

So we should be very so we should be very careful to avoid vaishnavaparat and various weeds. Okay, Note. Manasiksha by Raghunathas Goswami. It's a long one. Okay, Just reading the translation. Oh mine. Gurmaj, you look tired. O mind, you should scream loudly to the protectors of the road who are the devotees of the killer of Bakasura. I am being killed since I am being bound by the neck. Sorry. Being bound on the neck with the painful ropes of my wicked endeavors in this world by lust, etc. That are plunderers on the open road. Then the devotee will protect you from these plunderers. O mind, you are considering yourself purified by bathing in the burning urine of earth. It's very graphical in the form of duplicity and hypocrisy. But through this you're burning yourself along with that you're burning. What is that? As an insignificant living entity. Me nothing. Doing this by always. Not. Sorry. Not doing this by always bathing in the nectarian ocean of Prema in the form of love of Gandharvika Giridhari it should eternally make you and make you and me happy. O mine. Since this shameless Chandalini dog eating woman in the form of Pratishtasha desire for name and fame and for high position dances in my heart. Then why should the pure unalloyed love touch my heart? You should always serve the Senapati devotees who are very dear to Krishna. They will very quickly remove the Chandalini and make pure unalloyed love to enter your heart. O mind should very humbly and pitifully worship Giridhar in Vraja in such a way that he will mercifully remove my wickedness. Even though I am cunning, he will give me the nectar of love and instruct me in the burgeon of Shri Ghandharva Shrimati Radharani.

So we are. This beautiful poetry is Nirvana.

Ravanatha Swami so this beautiful poetry was made by Raghunath Das Goswami. These other creepers of weeds are nourished by the sprinkling of water in the form of Shravan and Kirtan While the progress of Bhakti creeper is curtailed from bad association that supports enjoyment and liberation. All these unwanted creepers of weeds are born. The downfall of devotees is seen everywhere due to bad association of God.

They are.

And.

Association.

So the weeds are formed by bad association.

The Swedes are held in the nodding become degraded.

So these weeds are making the devotees to become degraded.

So you have to be very careful.

So we have to be very careful.

That are that anointed ways. Don't get any of the water out devotion service.

We have to be very careful that the unwanted beats don't get any water of devotional service and that we can.

Get the association of purity and we.

Can get the association of pure devotee.

So he said denied cattle.

So we should be very careful to get the weeds to get the weeds cut and.

Don'T have them nourish like any of the.

Don'T have them nourished by any of the.

Unwanted weeds.

Unwanted weeds. Can I please bless all of them? Krishnair Matiras too. Gurumarajiki Shishiradha Madhav Sakiranda Mahandra Giraj Marajiki Panchatavaki Nitai Gorki Nishinga Devki Shila Prabhad Ki Iskon Guruvindaki Nitai Gor Sitanat Primanande Hari Haribo.
