But if you are thinking of ka and at the time of death you think of Krishna, go to Krishna.
But if you are thinking about Krishna at the time of death, if you are thinking about Krishna, you go to Krishna. There are different dharmas for different ashrams.
For the. Particular dharmas.
So for the Brahmacharis, Vanaprasthas, sanyasis, those are renunciant ashrams. There is no particular dharma for them.
Brahmachari.
There is a particular dharma for them.
Brahmachari, Sanyasi, Vanaprastharendre, Kuripitta, dharmangalakka.

And if you don't have it yet then you should cry that you don't have it. You have it.
It's hot. I was telling you how. I was saying how every step in Bharati.
So I was telling you how in Bhakti Vinod Thakur's book he says that how every step towards Bhakti is also a step towards Krishna Prema.
In our first way out on tape, we listen to lectures.
You know, first we have some faith by listening to some lectures. Then we want to associate with the devotees.
And then we start to practice different parts of Bhajana Kriya.
Then we start to practice different parts of Bhajan Kriya. Different parts chant Japa or different parts.
Jabangal Matra, Matra, Angangal.
Other states. I usually want takes initiation at this stage.
Usually one takes initiation in the Nilayal warrior.
They say a trickle war.
And then so we have lawyers like. As our Lord Chaitanya gives us three anointing.
So in Chaitanya Chartamrit it says that how Lord Chaitanya gives us a tree of bhakti.
Bhakti.
And we need to be. Protecting it from wild elements.
And we should be expert in protecting it from the wild elements.
In the Bhaktiyan wild elephants in the Bhaktiyandra.
Kurgan Rar elephant can tear out a tree from the root and throw down on it.
And the elephant can lift, uproot the tree from the ground and stamp on it. What is a mad elephant?
That's offenses.
That's offenses.
I mean as such the serious offense.
Alternative audit, especially the serious is the offense to a pure devotee.
So by putting a fence around your plant then that protects against wild elephants.
So putting a fence around your plant can save it from the wild elephants.
In the Marathechutri Veli Amaipadan Mola Maga in the Katiyanagalidamrundu in the Marathai Padhgaka medium.
That is all it is. Nice devotees having a very good association protects you.
So having the association of all these nice devotees will help in protecting you.
In the Bhaktar Nalla Bhaktargalod Sangam Bhaitirpadhan Molam ungalam.
Well, even if you guard your tree with the fence, some weeds may come up.
But even if you guard your tree with some fence, some weeds may come up.
So weeds like Nishiddacha. It's something that's written.
So weeds like Nisiddha Char doing something.
Which is prohibited in the Karaigalam.
Like Kuttinati.
Kuttinati.
Kuttinathi like woman mongering politics.
Kuttinati like woman mongering politics.
Envious against other living entities.
Envious against other living entities.
Curtain and various.
In Kolkata they had put a velvet curtain and many mosquitoes came. Prabhupada said, there are so many mosquitoes.
Prabhupada Kuri nargal naraya kusakal.
The sound of the devotees said, oh, that's all right, we'll just kill them.
So some devotees said, oh, it's all right, we'll just kill them.
Prabhupada said, you're nonsense.
Prabhupada said, you are nonsense.
Roll a silk curtain, attract their mosquitoes and then they want to kill them.
So you have put some silk curtains, attractive curtains. You attract them and when they come, you kill them. So any kind of enviousness against other living entities.
Maybe you criticize some other devotee.
Maybe you Criticize some other devotee.
That may be an offense.
That may be an offense.
But at least it's all.
But at least it's Jiva hinsa. Then there are three other weeds. But then he said there are unlimited weeds. Love, puja, Pratistha, Adi means etc. Other things also.
By doing devotional service I should get this thing that material things a lot.
So if somebody thinks that by doing devotional service I'll get this thing, that.
Thing that is lab Bhakti Sevai Saivadanal Yanak Yiddikadaikam Adikadaikam yanbadalam perasai.
And if somebody gets respect as a devotee, that's pooja.
And one hankers are getting some position, that's pratistha.
And if somebody is hankering after getting some position, that is pratistha.
They are.
These are anarth nivriti. So once we get rid of them then we are fixed up which is called Nishta.
Then at the Shanghai become attached to devotional service as well as Shakti.
Then after some time we get attached to the devotional service.
First there's a taste.
Then before that there's first it's taste. Ruchi.
I hope that you're all tasting devotional sauce.
I hope that you are all tasting.
The devotional service in the Bhakti Tunden Suvayai Ningalalam Anubhavi.
And then it attached to that special taste.
And then you get attached to that spiritual taste. That's called.
Ecstatic love for Krishna.
After Asakti it becomes the ecstatic love for Krishna. That's called Rati or bhav.
Last thing and I stop after that.
And next step after that is Prema.
