20250512 - Second Stream — The analysis of rasa is of worship alone

Seventh Shower Rasa Vichara Analysis of Tamilos and the subtopic is. The analysis of Rasa is of worship alone. What is the act of worship? Those who worship God should reflect on the nature of their worship. It is materialistic, mental, or something entirely different. Although the act of worship often involves some reliance on material elements, it is still superior to mere material practices. If that is the case, then what type it could be because thought cannot transcend matter. If worship is equated with thought, then worship would merely be considered as materialistic imagination. So it is neither material nor mental. Then what truly constitutes worship? Excuse me. Ordinary human existence is in nothing other than only matter and thought. So does it mean that? Does it mean one must become an atheist or accept impersonalism? The state that is directly opposed to matter and material thought is termed Nirvi sesha impersonal. By taking shelter of that, one would have to accept lifeless Brahmavada and consequently embrace further further characteristics of atheism. Then there is no more worship. That foe which all living entities are so eager has become as false as a flower in the sky. What a misfortune. So this, as they say in Bengali, Akash pushpa. It means that a flower in the sky.

No flowers in the sky.

There are no flowers in the sky. They also said in Bengali what? Dame Gauradim. The horse egg.

Horse is dumb.

Horse never lays eggs. Chickens the chickens, other birds and other birds have eggs.

There are no horses that lay eggs.

There are no horses lay eggs.

Salt. Good. Wrong. Imagination halts Hagar's eye or eye on a horse.

So not here. But he says that it is false. Like a flower in the sky or like the egg of a horse.

That's all right. That's nice.

So when one feels separation from Krishna, that's all right. That's nice.

Because then that separation becomes transcendental bliss.

Because then that separation becomes transcendental bliss.

But.

Separation from your father, mother, someone is considered a material rasa.

If one feels separation from mother or father, if they are in that mood, they are considered to be in the material rasa. And that doesn't produce any transcendental bliss.

Observing savage.

So feeling separation from Lord Caitanya actually unites you to Lord Chaitanya. More Anartha. Yeah. I could relate to this Piercing through the three superficially observed principles of matter, material thought and the concept of non material thought as idea of Nirvi Sesha Impersonal. Seek the perfected nature of the soul. I asked you to seek the act of piercing because apparently These three thoughts have covered your sarepa nature by binding you without breaking through them. How will you free yourself from their grasp? For instance, the three binders were placed over your eyes obstructing your vision. You would be advised to remove those blinders to uncover your eyes and to see the substances. Similarly, your own eyes that are there in your perfected self is covered by the three blinds of matter, material thought and non material thought. These three blinders are. I will announce this.

It only says two minus materials are and non materials are. These three liners are unordered.

I don't know why it said like that. Three blinds of matter, material thought and maybe three lines of matter, material thought and non material form. Goodness. Matter, material thought and non material thought. Yes. Matter, material thought and non material.

Yes.

I don't know. I just speculated. Blinds of matter, material thought and non material thought.

Yeah, I said a lot. Principles of matter material thought and the concept are non material thought.

That's between both of us. Okay.

Some people want the impersonal.

So some people want the impersonal thought and some people want the material thought.

All these things are covered by material.

So anyway. So anyway. All these things are covered by material matter.

So we have to see that we don't allow ourselves pure soul to be blinded by these three blinders.

So we have to see that our pure soul is not binded by these three blinders and.

Other.

So it says that if you have the anothus that produces these three binders, matter.

Rock, material thought, non material thought.

And non material thought.

Non material thought is impersonalism and the.

Non material thought is impersonalism.

Material thought is something. This material world is permanent and real.

So material thought is accepting this material world as permanent and real. And also the binds of matter.

We want. So here's transcendental Lord Jai Daniel one to the other.

So we want to peer through this matter and want to see the transcendental Lord Chaitanya and Lord Krishna.

In his final class times when he traveled over.

South India, Lord Chaitanya when he traveled all over South India, he felt the separation of Krishna all the time. All the time.

So the nice thing is that special worship is Rasa.

So the next thing is that the name of spiritual worship is Rasa. By removing this, the three anattas that is matter material thought and non material impersonal thought. Open your own natural eyes. When the natural eye of the soul is revealed, there will no longer be material worship, material thought based worship and worship that is opposite of material thoughts. At that time spiritual worship will be observed. This spiritual worship is known as Rasa. Those who engage in worship are essentially practicing Rasa. So we want all the devotees to practice this rasa, not the material duplicate. Just like for the babies, they give a pacifier. So apparently sucking on that is like sucking on the mother's breast.

And that's what our child already is having.

Therefore the child, the baby is happy.

So we don't want any pacifier.

So we don't want any pacifiers.

We want the real thing.

We want the real thing. Roti wow. Yes. Gurmaj will end here. 2.5, 2.5, 112 and 123. Because Rathi and other elements, Vibhava, Anubhava, etc. Are non different from the supreme bliss, it follows naturally that Rasa which is their mature state, is self revealing and consists of nothing else but itself. Though the ignorant and the materialists hastily perceive rasas such as lamentation Karuna to be full of grief, the true novels of Rasa say that, excuse me, says that these rasas are full of profound bliss. Rla Prabhupada's translation of the above mentioned verses. An apparently pitiable condition in devotional service may appear distressing to the inexperienced student. But the feelings of the devotee is pitiable condition, are considered to be ecstatic by expert devotees. Indeed, those who are qualified to attain this Rasa are rare. Therefore it is a confidential matter.

So advanced using consciousness in the very distressed.

So devotee may be advanced and if he experience any what was the last.

Thing, he may appear very distressed.

He may appear very distressed.

Have got grace, have risen from wisdom.

Radharani and the other Gopis, when Krishna left for Madhura, they felt great separation from Krishna.

That's.

How I started feeling and that's their ecstatic feelings.

And the sign of Rasa is very rare.

And this kind of Rasa is very rare.

And now there are not many devis who have such a deep relationship with Krishna.

There are such devotees who may not have such deep relationship with Krishna.

All this is considered a confidential matter.

So those who are not qualified to attend this Rasa, therefore it is considered to be the most confidential matter.

Don't interrupt me.

Bhaktiya Samhita Sindhu 2.512-9233 those who have been burnt up by the false renunciation, the dried up Jnanes, those absorbed in logic and disputation, and particularly those who are imamsakas, are averse to tasting bhakti, just as one very carefully protects A great treasure from thieves. The devotees should protect Bhakti Rasa from ancient mimamsakas. Prabhupada's translation of the above mentioned verse Shlava Goswami mourns in this connection for the persons who are in the fire of false renunciation, a dry speculative habit who neglect devotional service. Persons who are attached to the ritualistic ceremonies recommended in the Vedas and to the impersonal demand cannot relish the transcendental pleasure of devotional service. Sri Rupa Goswami advises. Therefore, the devotees who have already tasted the nectar of devotion by devotion, be very careful to protect devotional service from such dry speculators, former ritualistic elevationists and impersonal salvationists. Devotees should protect their valuable jewel of spiritual love from the clutches of thieves and burglars.

Just as we would protect our hidden treasure.

Just as we would protect our hidden treasure.

We should protect Bhakti Yoga.

We should protect Bhakti Yoga.

I heard one lady in a class, I think I was going outside, she was saying how much suffering there is in material life. Whatever she wanted.

So I was listening to a class by a lady when I was walking outside, she was saying how she was suffering in the material world. Therefore she wants liberation.

The danger is that you may gate the impersonal liberation.

The danger is that you may get the impersonal liberation. There is no suffering and very small bliss.

In Russia.

The impression of the small hoof of a calf. Calf, the amount of water that can be in the hoof impression, compared to.

The ocean or sea, compared to the ocean or sea is what you get in personal.

Is what you get in the impersonal Brahman, right?

And the priests of bhakti like a drop of water.

In bliss of bhakti, A drop of water of pure devotion.

So we want. We go through our hands.

So we want people to actually experience bhakti.

Never accept the impression the devotees, they.

Never expect except the impersonal Brahman.

Servitude, friendship, friendly love.

Servitude, friendship, parental love, conjugal love. They are separate.

So you have to be very careful not to get run and dry the material nature. Material thought.

So we have to. So we have to be very careful not be blinded by the material nature material thought and the non material thought.

Have you already tasted the nectar of the Rojana?

For those who have already tasted the nectar of devotion.

Dry speculators so should.

Be very careful not to associate with dry speculators.

Formal ritualistic elevationists.

Formal ritualistic elevationists.

I guess.

Like they go to the Deva Loka.

Impersonal salvationist.

An impersonal salvationist.

So the Lord is not hearted of His.

The devotees should protect the valuable jewel of spiritual love from the clutches of thieves and burglars. The End There are five kinds of liberation. One is personal, one is impersonal. The others, as I mentioned.

The others are accepted.

I'm just saying the others are accepted.

The Lord is personally right.

But the devotees, they don't accept the impersonal liberation.

At some point in the field, attracted to some particular.

Rasa, in some point of your devotional advancement, you might get attracted to a particular rasa. So those four rasas are acceptable to the devotees. So I mean, like Hanuman, he is in service to Lot Ram. There are different friends of Krishna who play with him. And many others are in the parental rasa. And then the Gopis in Vrindavan and the queens in Dwaraka, they had the conjugal love. As you render devotional service, so your love would manifest according to this four star.
