Hare Krishna. Dear devotees, today we will continue with the reading from Thakur. So we are beginning with a new shower, the seventh shower. And it's entitled as Rasa Vichar. Analysis, Analysis of the minerals. First frame. General analysis of the minerals. So Melo Rasa. I've began to analyze Rasa. What is Rasa? Question mark answer. Happiness. Rasa in the form of happiness is the inexhaustible substance. Rasa is an eternal substance. The Tao arises here. When Rasa arises from a combination of emotions, it seems that it did not exist before the combination and will not exist after the combination is broken. How can it be called eternal? How can it be recognized as indivisible? The resolution is that Rasa we are analyzing is beginningless and unlimited.
When one is Krishna.
So when one is tasting the melos or rasas in relation to Ka, we are feeling happiness.
Now.
It is not very loving.
And that happiness is not dependent on any sense, gratification or anything else.
It is calmness.
It's just happiness. It just happens, no veil. And you feel happy.
About the spot we want. And that's why.
And that's what we want all the devotees to experience. Very free Allah's life. Srila Prabhupada said Nidai's mercy is unlimited. You just have to pray to him, Give him mercy. What's that? Maybe you don't.
No, just by being. Then thank you.
Oh okay, maybe you don't. But just by being he. Thank you so much mercy. But if you ask, maybe you get it quicker.
And says, if you don't have the mercy on the Tyra, you don't get the ones that are on him.
So there's a verse says if you don't have the mercy of Mitha, you don't get the mercy of Radharani.
And Radharani is the engagement of Krishna's stories.
And R gives us the engagement in Krishna's service. So let's see the answers. So Rasa is eternal Nitya. All the permanent ecstasy, Stai Bhava, special ecstasy, Vibhava, subordinate ecstasy, Anuphava and continued ecstasies and Chari Bahava that make up the ingredients of Rasa are Eternal. Their combinations are also eternal. Where there is spiritual substance, there itself is eternal Rasa. Just as the supreme personality whose nature is spiritual, the Jiva and Vaikunta are eternal, so too is Rasa.
One chance.
If you give one chance Hare Krishna regularly that can awaken their inclination to serve Krishna. So Virasa the spiritual world, all of you, the Shivas are also eternal. As mentioned in the Taitriya Upanishad 2.7.1 when one understands the personality of Godhead, the reservoir of pleasure Krishna, he actually becomes transcendentally blissful. Bhakti Mahdakura goes on to explain further. Therefore, the Upanishad states that the supreme entity is of the nature of Rasa. The soul Jiva having attained in Bhagavan becomes blissful obtaining Prema that Rasa that the soul attains that Rasa is eternally present with the principle of Prema. It is possible for this to merely rise. To merely rise in specific living entities. The discovery of eternal relationship Nithya Samantha between the soul and Bhagavan is the rising of Rasa.
So we are not the body, we are eternal.
So we are not eternal. We are eternal and.
Find us and the advance and the fame association.
So the point is as we advance and attain the association with Bhagavan, you become blissful.
Soul attains the stress of Prema.
So obtaining Prema the soul attains this Rasa Prema.
He was told and take care of living under this it may be disturbed.
For particular living entities.
He does I'm desirable because of your.
Desire for him actually got checked in your they gave mercy very freely.
I think a lot it rose up.
So I think I was listening to Dr. Purushottam. He was giving a lecture. He was mentioning what is the difference.
Between Kripa and Karuna is all again.
Give me, give me and he gives it. So Karuna, even if you don't pass Lord Henanda, Lord Goranga they give you their they will give you their mercy. That's Karuna. So contrasting with material Jagarasa, Katie and Mellow. Even the simplest callers of literary ornaments have mentioned the type of Rasa Mellow. What is that Rasa? It is mundane Rasa. The subtle existence that the living entity accepts. The subtle existence that the living entity accepts after being materially born includes distinct elements. Distinct elements such as false ego Ahankara, intelligence Buddhi, heart Chitta and mind Mana. By false ego Ahankara first identifying oneself as a certain man or woman in material relationship. Then by intelligence Buddhi One determines what is beneficial or harmful through heart Chitta One contemplates happiness and sorrow. Mind mana One gains knowledge of objects and meditates on them. Did the living entity update these four principles in a new form after being materially bound? Or were the pure seeds of all these elements present beforehand? The answer is that these are not new principles. According to one's specific characteristics of spiritual living entity, there was a pure sense of identity called as I am a servant of God with a particular characteristic. That sense of identity of the spiritual living entity was taking shelter of the pure spiritual nature Chitvaroopa in the form of pure spiritual ego. By taking shelter of the spiritual. Taking shelter of spiritual nature, there was the intelligence to discriminate between beneficial and harmful. By taking shelter of the spiritual nature, there was a pure intelligence in the form of the place of experiencing by knowing other substances and other living entities and the supreme personality of Godhead whose Vishaya the supreme objective. There was a mind suitable for their knowledge and meditation, being bound by material nature. All these spiritual tendencies due to association with matter, matter has transformed into subtle and gross forms. And consequently the impure mundane tendencies related to their respective subjects becomes subjects become manifest. Therefore, Virakasa has existed in its pure form under the spiritual shelter as it is to an Israel form beginning Sorry, sorry. Becoming a distorted reflection of the Rasa by literary scholars. So that is one video out in the morning Gaza, one lady was ah, screaming. One lady, she was ah, screaming. That's all they show.
This is how you scream.
So you can say that's the material bellow, another.
Happiness.
So that melody, material happiness and sorrow. People embrace each other. That doesn't last long.
But there are many others coming originally in the spiritual world.
So there may be some likeness. So they are saying that originally in the spiritual world there was zero NASA.
Real relationship results.
But actually a real relationship has to be developed with Krishna.
Here is Lodhisvaya. He is the supreme architect.
He is the Vishaya. He is the supreme object. Say that this material world is a fermented reflection.
Similar to the spiritual. The struggle of empirical.
So there are some things in this material world which is similar to the spiritual world. But the spiritual world is pure. But the material world is what was the last part of that. It's impure.
Mundane, mundane.
The mundane world is impure. Therefore, the Rasa that existed in its pure form under the spiritual shelter has been distorted into an impure form, becoming a distorted reflection of the Rasa by literary scholars.
Powers of converting.
First and second regret the Prabhupada says go into reflection, but here shall above you, not up your eyes. So he wrote distorted reflection. Distorted reflection? Yes, they are more or less the same thing. Sensitive. There is only a difference in nature between material mellow and spiritual melo Chitrasa you have just expected. I think mellow Rasa is only one substance in its eternal state. It is the form of Nithyananda, eternal bliss. And in the state of being materially bound, it manifests as Jadananda mundane pleasure or Jada Dukha mundane surah. The names, relationships, actions, methods and results given by the scholars of Mintrailing ornaments. Whatever can be observed in the Mande Rasa, all of it exists in the pure form, in the spiritual, in the Chikrasa spiritual manner. The different types of Mandev Rasa cannot be accepted. Only the difference in nature is accepted. Chitrasa is eternal. Janarasa is temporary. Chidrasa is desirable. Chandarasa is disgraceful. The Vishayra object and Ashwara shelter of Chitrasa are Bhagavan and the pure Jivas, living entities. While the Vishaya and the object sorry, Vishaya object and Ashra shelter of Jananarasa are the disgraceful beauty of the material body and the mind engulfed in material desires. The nature of Chidrasa is Ananda bliss and the nature of Janarasa is Sukha, Sukha Tuka, happiness and sorrow. So what you want Sukha and Duka or bless Bless bliss.
It always time our cursing Brahma Ammana creating bodies.
So we have certain emotions. When we have certain emotions like Lord Krishna that like the Gopis they were cursing Lord Brahma, they don't know how to create the body.
God Krishna is so beautiful. Our eyes went.
Exactly so we are looking at Krishna. But the eyes they blink and that causes what was the last button that caused that causes them separation? The blink of the eye is very short.
They love Krishna so much.
But they love Krishna so much even the eye blink was intolerant. So that's the difference between Chitrasa and Chararasa. Note the quotation from the third Canto of Sri Lanka Bhavnata translation of that verse. The moon reflected on water appears to tremble due to the movement of the water. Similarly, the living entity, although transcendental to material nature, appears to be affected by the laws of nature due to its association with material nature. The quotation From Sriman Bhagavatam 3.7.1. Another quotation from Srila Bhagavata, a living entity bewildered by the influence of the laws of Material nature thinks himself to be the doer of activities that are in actuality carried out by nature. Quotation From Srimad Bhagavatam 11. 11.10.
When we see the changes in.
Our body to make we see the changes coming in our body. We think our body, we think we are the body.
And due to the association of the.
Material Due to the association of the material managing.
Actually we are not really.
Affected actually we are not really affected.
Five days.
We are not affected by the shaking movements of the material nature. Another notation from Srivanta Wendell as well. The living entity, in whatever species of love he appears, finds a particular type of satisfaction in that species and does not wish to give it up. No dog 3.3.4.
Grown up like that, it's cursed.
He okay, see, for some reason Brahma Osama was cursed with your faith. So he liked playing with the man and associating with the sheepis.
I remember calling him and it goes wrong.
And then Rama came. He told him, come on. And he was attached to the happiness of big life. And then. And then Brahma took some commandal from his water and put it on Indrash. He.
Remembered his situation.
And then he remembered his situation in the heavenly palace. Whatever species you are in, so whatever species you are in vines of a.
Particular type of satisfaction, a vine stands.
To a particular type of satisfaction.
And then a bird, a vague bird may be.
If you are a bird, you are a vague, whatever you may be like that. We like that.
Something very light.
Something that you like, you don't want to give it up. So we are also in a similar situation. Anyone, anyone wants to stay in the material world. Birth after birth I get letters every day.
O my wife, my husband, my son.
Oh, my wife, my husband, my son. They are sick, they are suffering.
Please pray for them.
Please pray for them. This is Ghana. Okay, next quotation From Srimad Bhagavasan 3.3 0.18 translation. Thus a man who engaged with uncontrolled senses in maintaining a family, dies in great grief. Seeing his relatives crying, he dies most pathetically, pathetically in great pain, without consciousness. Srimad Bhagavata 3.35 degrees if you don't have ka consciousness. Thanks.
Who's going to take care of my wife, my dog, my parent?
Who's going to take care of my wife, my dad, my dog.
One lady in Atlanta, USA she had.
130 million doll lady in Atlanta, in USA she had $140 million.
She delegated it for a cat and.
She Dedicated it for a cat.
It was the richest cat in the world.
It was the richest cat in the world.
I want all the money with other traders.
After the cat dies, all the monies would go to different charities. So there are a bunch of lawyers who are taking care of the cat. He likes cat. He likes national baby. Why would that lady take any next birth.
Conduit to apply a bean on her cat?
So she gave it to her cat. So when she was dying she went in. Probably she was thinking of her cat. Evoking Rasa in the perfected Spiritual Body to ascertain Rasa it is not necessary to resort to secondary meanings, lakshana vritti of words. The purpose is accomplished through the primary meaning avida vritti. Otherwise the Sriman Bhagavatam would not have been able to describe the Supreme Rasa in its entirety as Krishna's pastime in the material world. Through the distorted forms of romantic relationships between heroes and heroines, the mundane interactions between fathers and sons, the mutual behavior between friends, and the reciprocal actions between masters and servants, the impure essence of Rasa as variated by the literary scholars is manifesto very valuable. This distorted nature of Rasa exhibits all its characteristics, essential components, functions and process processes to the conditioned souls. So if conditioned soul, if a self manifesting entity does not reveal itself, who can make it known? Even when the principle of Supreme Bliss is distorted, it still reveals its nature, qualities and characteristics. Therefore, describing Rasa through Abhidha prithi direct meaning is not at all ethical. Those who upon hearing such descriptions, wish to awaken their own trance natural Rasa should only remember that none of the inherent inferiority of material Rasa should infiltrate their practice. Some corrupt sects, under the pretense of awakening transcendental Rasa, resolve to material Rasa which is nothing but a deviation from the correct path and a dangerous route leading to repeated downfalls for the soul. Evoking of Rasa is done only in the perfected spiritual body Siddha Dev. Its relationship is not born in any way with the materially conditioned body. Certain sex attempting to evoke Shingar Rasa, conjugal maleurs do the association of women who are merely demonstrating their misfortune. They do exactly what is not to be done. Eventually it leads to their downfall. In this matter, Rasa Sadhaka's practitioners should be particularly cautious. Do not listen to any misleading etbar advice from dharmatologists. See the devotees of Hypocrites Coophone or co founder Material Senses so Bhakti Nantuckuri were Saying there are so many apples of pradhya sahajiyas. He mentioned 13, but maybe there are more.
And then press out the sides and all through.
Some sides and they hope to get some Srirasa.
But not followed by swastana as one.
Of my but this was not followed by the six Goswamis of any bona fide practitioners.
I will listen to Krishna Palestine.
So they would listen to Krishna's pastimes. I wrote for them books so they know different books.
Pressed on one instructed them is when.
One would obtain instructed them.
And they would be in this ecstasy all the time.
And they would be in this ecstasy all the time.
Vrindavan forest.
They will be going through the Vrindavan forest like this. So everybody wants Rasa, a real cheat Rasa, real cheat Rasa.
KV.
But sometimes they take the chara Rasa, the mundane Rasa do our seva and follow the regulatory principles, pray to the deities and by their mercy you can advance. There are other ways one can advance.
It's all understanding.
But it's not all. It's not all are the same thing.
It's like the same thing.
Sorry. It's like the same thing.
You have to chant.
You have to chant. We have to follow the principle. So at Siddha Jagannatha's Babaji, he was meditating on the angels and he realized Radha Vadava.
Glory. How was a little boy.
There's a little boy called Rahubena.
The other ones here say to Xylo, I know the son all of us fathers love and above.
And I hated it. So the father was a guru. He had to go and see a Sikh disciple. So he told his son, offer these bloodlines to the land to go palm.
Son went in.
So the son went in following the.
Daughters, offered me ladders and was crying.
And then he was crying.
Krishna spoke to him. Krishna spoke to him, why are you crying?
He said, why are you crying?
He's not eating.
He is not eating.
My mother said, out of the earth. Then he jumped.
My father said, if I offer it to you, you will eat them, but you are not eating. All right.
And then he took the veil off and mother asked, where's the letters?
And then when he took the plea to the mother vow's air selected, he said, alive. He said, gopa eaten. So she didn't know did he really eat them or he's lying.
After a few days he saw that.
So after a few days his father came back.
Love.
She told her husband what she told.
Her husband what happened.
So he said give her lottery. Now spy inside of the room.
So give the letters to him. Now spy on the back of the room.
Go father, please take these letters.
And then he said go father, please take this letter. That Gobal took one and he was eating it.
However was there other corner.
The father looked from behind him he saw ah. And he was.
I caught you red handed. Now that I have eaten a lot in your hand.
So he said that I caught you red handed. You have a half eaten laddu in your. And then Rahu Gandha his faith spread all over the country. Did he ever eat from your hand? Stop.
The end of Krishna fully gain a substrate of Lord Vidyananda.
Friend of Krishna who became an associate of Lord Vidyananda.
Having heard about it, he was still a child when he.
Heard about it, he wanted to offer his obeisances please.
And he was evidence. I mean all of the grand children of are not qualified.
So he was famous. When he offered his obeisances to the children of Nithyananda who are not qualified they died.
So Harunua's parents were afraid of him.
So Raghu Benna's parents were afraid of him.
In case son will die.
In case the son will die. So they sent the son away. Then when he came.
Then alright.
Went.
To the famous tree there.
So then Abhirav Tucker went to the famous tree there.
Went after him and offered his name.
And then offered his obesiences.
Because when he heard something greater all he was calling boy wanted.
When he heard such a great devotee was coming the boy wanted to see him.
Picked him up, raised him.
So when he offered his obeisances Avhilant picked him up and embraced him.
And two were dancing fell in some poor new life.
They fell in a Pukhol like 2km away. So they were dancing so wildly.
The Lord is our Lord.
So the devotees of Lord Chaitanya who appeared in different places they are very wonderful.
I went to the Khalkra.
So I went to Kathan. It took Sannyas. The deity would go from one temple.
To the other and send it.
Same deity when the temples are next to each other. And so one temple is by the Rahugana the other temple is Nanda Kishore.
Normally a very tough churches pastas.
Normally it's very tough to get this rasa framework these realizations firsthand.
I was challenged by Rugram how much glory love him.
So Krishna Krishna was challenged by Lukmani and he didn't know how much the devotees love him and in what way. They love him. Stop.
He was silent.
So he decided in front of God he will promise a devotee.
He took mourn and hollow Ra.
He took the mood and color of.
Radharani and appeared here in Nauv.
And he appeared here in nav.
He stayed 24 years.
He stayed 24 years.
Then he took Sannyas.
And then he took Sannyas and bluff.
San Andorian all India.
Remember genius all over India. And then he came back someone.
So.
In Venice. The thousand euros and.
Sun eyes out.
So my stars that grew much.
The sun dies up.
The sun dies up at the end of Namaste.
Krishna comes once thousand years.
So Krishna comes once during this thousand years.
And this time the motivated watcher. He would call us from the level of palm.
So at this time when he feels motivated he comes as well as Lord Chaitanya and delivers the fallen souls.
The whole universe. Please obtain the opportunity to the mercy of entire door.
So you should take this opportunity to give the mercy of middle and go. So there's a verse which says that the mercy given by Lord Chaitanya wasn't given by any other. So please do whatever you can get the mercy in charge.
