A recorded evening darśana (Nov 11, 2009) featuring Jaya Pataka Swami and other speakers interpreting Bhagavad Gita 7.3. The core teaching stresses the rarity of attaining true knowledge of Krishna — "hardly one in thousands" — and contrasts impersonal Brahman/Jnana Yoga with the person-focused path of Bhakti (devotional service). The speaker argues that genuine Bhakti, practiced according to scriptural rules, is demanding and can only be fully realized by sincere devotees; anecdotal stories (a penitent thief, converted skeptics, followers of Chaitanya) illustrate how eager practice reveals Krishna to earnest seekers.

Chapter 7 text 3 translation purport by his given Grace Translation out of many thousands among men one may end over for perfection. And of those who have achieved perfection, hardly one knows me. In truth, there are various grades of men and out of many thousands one may be sufficiently interested in training transcendental realization to try to know what is the self, what is the body, and what is the absolute truth. Generally, mankind is simply engaged in the animal propensities, namely eating, sleeping, defending and mating. Hardly anyone is interested in transcendental knowledge. The first six chapters of the Gita are meant for those who are interested in transcendental knowledge in understanding the Self, the Super Self and the process of realization by Jnana Yoga. Jnana Yoga and discrimination of the self from matter. However, Ka can be known only by persons who are in Ka consciousness. Other Transcendentalists may achieve impersonal Brahman realization, for this is easier than understanding Krishna. Krishna is the Supreme Person, but at the same time he is beyond the knowledge of Brahman and Paramatma. The Yogis and Jnanis are confused in their attempts to understand Krishna. Although the greatest of the impersonalists, Sripada Sankaracharya, has admitted in his Gita commentary that Krishna is the supreme Personality of Godhead, his followers do not accept Krishna as such, for it is very difficult to know Ka. Even though one has transcendental realization of impersonal Brahman. Krishna is the supreme Personality of Godhead, the cause of all causes, the Primal Lord Govinda Ishwara Paramakrishna. It is very difficult for the non devotees to know Him. Although non devotees declare that the path of Bhakti or devotional service is very easy, they cannot practice it. If the path of Bhakti is so easy as the non devotee class of men proclaim, then why do they take up the difficult path? Actually, the path of Bhakti is not easy. The so called Path of Bhakti practiced by unauthorized persons without knowledge of Bhakti may be easy, but when it is practiced factually according to the rules and tribulations, the speculative scholars and philosophers fell away from the path. Sriram Goswam he writes in his Bhaktira Samruta Sunda, devotional service of the Lord that ignores the authorized Vedic literatures like the Upanishads, Puranas and Nara. The Pancharat is simply an unnecessary disturbance in society. It is not possible for the Brahman realized impersonalist or the Paramatma realized Yogi to understand Krishna, the supreme personality of Godhead, as the son of Mother Yashoda or the tarry chair of Arjuna. Even the great demigods are sometimes confused about Krishna, Mukhyanti and Surayahar Man Tu Vedana Kaschana. No one knows me as I am, the Lord says. And if one does know him then Samahatma Sudhurlabha. Such a great soul is very rare. Therefore, unless one practices devotional service to the Lord, one cannot know Ka as He is Tatvatah. Even though one is a great scholar or philosopher, only the pure devotees can know something of the inconceivable transcendental qualities in Ka his being, the cause of all causes, his omnipotence and opulence and his wealth, fame, strength, beauty, knowledge and renunciation. Because Krishna is benevolently inclined to his devotees, he is the last word in Brahman realization and the devotees alone can realize him as Is. Therefore it is said no one can understand Ka as He is by the blunt material senses. But he reveals himself to the devotees being pleased with them for their transcendental loving service unto Him.
So I hope you are able to understand me. If you can't, tell me I can handle either I can fix score or I can handle that state repeated. This verse is very important because this verse tells us to understand Ka. It's not a small thing, it's a very great thing and only one out of thousands and thousands of persons able to understand Krishna. I always approached by one. I am debating, I thought and I realized it from Thee. And he said oh, I am alive in the ravishment. And I said hello. I had one question. Why do you worship the form of the Lord in your temples as well? Lord is formless, no Ranga. I was a bit surprised she didn't understand Krishna. She was hardcore my life. So this is the case of a number of our alive members. They really don't know who is Ka. So there was one in the Guwahati in Assam. He was helping us a lot with the provisions and everything. But he was also. He would lunaticate in his closet kind of so dare skin. And he would. He was convinced that the Lord was the impression of the Lord and that the Lord was just formed of the impression of the Lord. So he was chanting this is fun. I was. I showed him the last verse of the 14th chapter Bhagavad Gita, I am the basis of the impression of Rama. He said, no, no, Chantin, no, no, no, no. My whole life I've been Krishna being prisoner and this thing. It's all based on Krishna. No, no. Oh, it hits me. I don't. I can't tell you one day, I'm sorry. Until he said oh. Then. So I went to see him. He was healthy and smiling. He said what happened? So I called one of my the professors of Sanskrit at the university. And he said Brahmana Pradeshi all means what? He said, no, it doesn't mean nothing and there's no words. He's talking about these words or not. So then Prabhupada said if a person that Rai Rash attached to his personal reality don't waste a lot of time arguing with him. Better to just engage in devotional service. So after some years and he once again Himalayas book a Georgia pot desire. But after a few years, you know, I started to understand being a personal truth in these personal truth and trying to understand good Krishna. So he got parasite by doing devotional service. That's the secret. You can only go so far with these people. And like he was Gita Jnanayaga are their color outs for impression. So he said, how was Alexa? Oh, it was fantastic. It was great. What did the song did he say? What did he sing? I don't know what he said. How can an ordinary soul like me understand what a great song? He said I don't understand anything. He said, so this is the difference. That Prabhuag priority was an extent. He was speaking the absolute truth as it is without any fancy words and trying to impress the people. He just told the truth. I was listening to one of his lectures in here's the month in 1972 in Los Angeles. He said some poor people they ask China see God. Of course you can see God is a hill. Or you have to be qualified to see him. What is that qualification? That qualification is William intense eagerness. If he held eagerness, you can see the Lord. He told us a story. He said that there was a thief. He was listening to his elixir. How Krishna would go to her decal the chaos dress the rivals. Jewels, diamonds, gold necklaces. So this hater, a little kid in his horse with all his rival diamonds and gems and gold. I want to steal it all. He got rich. I can retire. So he went to Vietnam looking for Ka. He was very eager looking for Krishna. He didn't realize that Ka he wasn't buried at that time. He was Not. It was not 5,000 years ago. It's just say 200 years ago. So Krishna. Krishna and he saw all the diamonds, jewels, you know, what I want is very healthy to you. I will leave you from your diamonds. You see my goodies. You know, my mother, sort of, she'll ask me what you do with the diamonds. So I'll be in trouble. So I learned again. Well, so they were talking. And at the end, by talking to Krishna, he got purified. He started to get past Krishna. Then he asked the Krishna, I think you can have his life. He said, no, I want you. I want to have you. So if you're eager enough, Krishna can reveal himself to you. Why we don't see Krishna. We're not eager. If you're here, we can see him even now. So who here is eager? So very good. Knowing the spirit of finding someone who even wants to know the difference between Akron and 5. Who wants to know? The the impersonal realization artist speak of someone who knows Krishna. That reminded the martyr most of the I like to see one nightmare. He said he was a minor at the time. He was businessman. So this was in the beginning of the program, 1,111 rubies. I told, I show all the fixes. I show some fixes. I don't believe any of this. It's all how God's all God is. I don't believe in God. I don't believe any of this. And he starts blasphemy. So I learned. I thought I'd blow you out, but how much I can get Died.
Died.
So, you know, in making like them, we met all kind of crazy people. Last English son attacked me. But later he became life sentence. So most people, they're just thinking how they're going to make money. They're not thinking how. They're especially like this. So Krishna said in this verse, they are actually very virtual. So all of you are very virtual. Because you know son, Lord Krishna, Lord Rashid. So I came here all tonight junior associates so that I can get at your son. And tonight only thousand last drawers of people. And this is a relatively spiritual city in the world. Thousands of are interested in Nazi truth, but interested in Krishna and clean the west. So what we do with our rath yatras, with our vegetables, fires, the like Indra, he didn't know who Krishna was and he got mixed up. And then when Krishna lived in the other downhill Krishna made then the crowds came back in there and said, you told they sent us against the dream Lord, but they killed them. And as Though they would quit, they left. Then he realized, what have I done? I have. I attacked Ka who is a supreme personality. Because Ka was on earth, he looked just like a colored lord. He looked like an ordinary village lord. But he is the source of everything. He is the creator of ivy. So like even the devil sometimes get confused. Ko is really Krishna and what is his grandma. He saw the chaos every car. Later he realized, I made a mistake. So then after he apologized to Krishna, he went to Navadi and he started to. Until Lord Goronga appeared to Lord Go and asked him, what do you want? He said, you see, I am in my good health. I'm in the second half of my life and still like to name after all, I want to be free of this offensive mentality. I want to get purified. I know you're coming Kaliyur. I want to be your associate. I guess he made some requests. So the Lord said, touch the heart, so the earth. And he said, you shall be born in a Hindu non Hindu family. This will teach you humility. 300,000 names artificially named will be known as Inamicharya is to Kyoto. Yinya Krishna Yoga associate will be known as the PI Dust. So a liar. Many of the associates of Lord Chaitanya by some team from other planets in our universe. And they are joined with the Sankirta movement of Lord Chaitanya. So we're very fortunate that that movement is still present on the planet to be part of it. So we should take advantage and.
