20260226 - Eighth Shower — Conclusion part4

Krishna pras.

Sa. Continuing from. The last shower, the conclusion Karmi's Purva Paksha Objection those who are bound in the first connection raise the following objection against the life of those devoted to the third connection. They say by taking shelter of devotion you treat all the objects of this world and the happiness derived from them as insignificant. Moreover, you dismiss as slowly even our place of hope, the heavenly realms which are seeds of enjoyment for attaining personal happiness. When you show such detachment from subtle Brahman down to gross matter, then you will not strive for the improvement of the world and you will cut yourself off from it. But this world is our field of action. Here, by performance, performing works dear to the Supreme Lord, we attain happiness both in this life and in the next. By rejecting all this, we will destroy our prospects and obstruct everyone and attainment of happiness. The reply of a Devotee for the previous argument from the community of devotees, this conclusion is given as reply. Brother, although the improvement of this world brings no special gain to the living entity, still examine the life of devotee and you will see that whatever true welfare arises in this world will come only through the devotee. Child, you may advance science, art, craftsmanship and morality as far as you can do so. We have no opposition to that. Rather, by such progress many facilities for practicing devotion will be created. We are not renunciation by Rakhi, we are attached in love. Anuragi we only say that all actions should acknowledge the presence of God. That incidental fruit of all actions which is selfish pleasure should not be that at which all actions are driven. Let all actions be performed for the purpose of advancing devotion to God. In regard to work, there's no, there's not the slightest difference between your life and mine. So do you understand what the Karmi's

objection is, what the Lord's answer is?

And what is the devotees answer is? If you understand, please raise your hand up.

I think we have to explain because K did not.

So you are saying that someone has to be Krishna conscious, But the Karnis are saying that we want to have sense gratification in this life and the next and that's the goal of life. To be born in. When we say that one should look

thinking of Krishna, acknowledging the presumption, acknowledging

the presence of God.

So. Incidental pleasure.

So what is described here is that incidental pleasure, that architecture, it's actually selfish pleasure.

Right into action.

So that should not be one's purpose of driving to action

or the pleasure of Krishna.

One should be driven into action only for the pleasure of Krishna. Otherwise, externally the world is not different. The only difference is acknowledging the desire of Krishna. Are acknowledging selfish sense gratification. Difference between the karmi and the bhakta. The difference is this. You perform. You perform workout work out of sense of duty. Whereas I perform work mixed with the mood of servitude. Regard at the times in the course of detachment, my effort in action becomes reduced. Even that is similar to your condition of gaining rest from work. But you gain rest without purpose. While I withdraw from work in the course of devotion to God. For you, the world is a field of action. For me, it's a field for practicing devotion. All the works you perform I regard as a her book. Because you act for the sake of action itself, not for the sake of co op. Your name is theistic moralist or karmi. My name is Bhatta. Bhakta. So it's quite interesting.

The harness has vacationed all this.

So the karm, they take some vacation and they go to some distant place. The devotees, the Baba, they may do some kind of parikrima or something. Vocation is devotion. Otherwise, superficially the action may seem similar. One is completely spiritual, other is completely material. What do you think? What do you think? That's nice thing to think. In many respects, all the actions in the lives of the theistic moralist Seshwara Naitika and the devotee bhakta are of the same kind. Only by difference of fake coldness Mishta the and agents diverge. A theistic moralist who is engaged in ritualistic ceremonies, that is, who does not recognize the substance beyond man death is completely inferior. Even though he acknowledges God, he has no realization of God's true nature nor of the destiny of the soul. Thus there is no direct deliverance for him from the cycle of action. Those theistic moralists will consider the material world insignificant and hope for the spiritual world determine free means for release from bondage to material action. To gradually lessen the practice of material action and remain established in spiritual truth. To dedicate action to Vishnu, who is of spiritual nature, resolving to please Vishnu while performing all actions and at their completion, offering them to Sri Krishna. To fully mix devotion to Sri Krishna, those actions cannot be avoided and to renounce those actions which, even if is not performed, do not hinder the maintenance of the body. Stop

one minute ago.

One thing is to lessen the material activities. So one is to dedicate all the activities to Sri Vishnu, Sri Krishna and. Performing conscious, One is completely avoiding activities and completely mix it with devotion to Krishna. So those Activities which you by doing in their material situation that wouldn't should that which is that's not done. The effort of the aesthetic or yogi. Those who adopt the first method are aesthetics Tapas or yogis. Aesthetics with much hardship seek to loosen the binding norms of reactionary work. The Vedic Panchami, Vidya or Nidityasana are processes of Vedic yoga practiced by ascendants. Many kinds of yoga have been proposed Ashtanga, Sadanga, Tattatriya and Gorakshanati yoga. Among this Hatha yoga described in the Tantras and the Naja yoga taught by Patanjali has been have been somewhat honored in the world of this Ashtanga yoga of Patanjali's philosophy is the foremost. The meaning of that yoga is this. The conditioned soul bound by action should first practice the five restraints Yama, non violence, truthfulness, non stealing, celibacy and non possessiveness and the five observances Niyama, purity, contentment, austerity, status. Carry devotion to God by abundant evil deeds and becoming habituated to good deeds. Through this one then practices postures Asana later breathe breath control by which the breath is master. Having mastered both breath one hand takes on the form of Lord Krishna and then practices concentration with Harana withdrawal from all sex objects. Pratyahara is performed before meditation when the mind Hare Krishna is quite loud over that and someone asks them to keep quiet.

If they are feeling hungry, they can go and eat

when the mind becomes steady or one enters into trance. The essential meaning of this process is that by gradual practice through giving up action Karmatyyaga body comes without action Karma Shunya in this there are many delays and obstacles. As mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 1.6.35. It is true that by practicing restraint of the senses by yoga system one can get relief from the disturbances of desire and lust. But this is not sufficient to give satisfaction to the soul. For this satisfaction is derived from devotional service to the personality of. Mind Mind Mind of the Bahir Bhoga, attracted by the external material tendency turn away from the service of the Lord. Those who adopt the second method think in this way. When the mind is attached to some subject then at the time of engaging with that subject one should first desire to please Lord Krishna and at the end one should offer it to Krishna. This is affair. This affair is an action against nature. So Bhava. Sh. Yeah, yeah. Even I was saying the same to Shri or even I can't understand. I think there's some. Some I don't know.

Mike is afraid.

Yeah. I just wish you

attached to some

object and the mind is attached to some.

Desire. Krish.

I think it should supposed to be not against nature. This is an affair not against nature. I think the word not is missing. Could be. I'm just saying it hypothetically.

Just.

What's the next thing? It's 8:15 now. Shall we stop here? Okay with it. And then we can check if Jaya Krishna.

Okay.

Thus, when. When all a man's activities are dedicated to the service of the Lord. Those activities which causes perpetual bondage because become the destroyer of the tree of work. Whatever work is done here in this life for the satisfaction of the mission of the Lord is called Bhakti Yoga or transcendental service to the Lord. What is called knowledge becomes self concomitant factor. While performing duties. According to the order of Sri Krishna, the supreme personality of Godhead, one constantly remembers him, his names and his qualities. So this makes sense. Wow. All right. So all the activities we do, we offer that to Krishna. So in this way we are all. So in this way you're always remembering him, his name and his quality. In order to properly re establish Varna Shama Dharma, it is necessary to abandon the faults of Kali that have arisen in the in that Dharma present. Every person who's a well wisher of the nation should take care to carry out the following scriptural injunction. Without doing so, no one can truly be a well wisher of the nation. And there will be no special benefit or welfare of the world. Especially for India. There's a quotation from Jabha Upanishad. Upanishad. Sorry. Having completed the stage of Brahmacharya, celebrate student life. One should become a householder. Having become a householder, one should then become a Vagatrastha forest dweller. Having become a forest dweller, one should renounce and take Sannyasa. But if otherwise, one renounces directly from the stage of Brahmacharya or from the state, from or from the householder stage, or from the forest dweller stage. Whether he is a Punarvati, one who has repeated vows of Nataka, one who has completed study Anantas Nataka, one who has not completed study, one who has one whose sacred fires are discontinued or whenever he becomes detached, on that very day, he should renounce. So here it recommends after taking Brahmacharia, one should be a good test. In rare occasions, one may go from Brahmacharya to Sanyasa. If one's wife is cooperated with one's devotional service, then what does he Nice. I should stop here.
