"To commit an offense at the feet of a devotee of the Lord is a great wrong. Even when a living entity is promoted to Vaikuṇṭha, there is still the chance that he may commit offenses, but the difference is that when one is in a Vaikuṇṭha planet, even if by chance one commits an offense, he is protected by the Lord. This is the remarkable fact in the dealings of the Lord and the servitor, as seen in the present incident concerning Jaya and Vijaya. The word <i>atikramam</i> used herein indicates that in offending a devotee one neglects the Supreme Lord Himself.",
|
||||
"By mistake the doormen held the sages from entering Vaikuṇṭhaloka, but because they were engaged in the transcendental service of the Lord, their annihilation was not expected by advanced devotees. The Lord's presence on the spot was very pleasing to the hearts of the devotees. The Lord understood that the trouble was due to His lotus feet not being seen by the sages, and therefore He wanted to please them by personally going there. The Lord is so merciful that even if there is some impediment for the devotee, He Himself manages matters in such a way that the devotee is not bereft of having audience at His lotus feet. There is a very good example in the life of Haridāsa Ṭhākura. When Caitanya Mahāprabhu was residing at Jagannātha Purī, Haridāsa Ṭhākura, who happened to be Mohammedan by birth, was with Him. In Hindu temples, especially in those days, no one but a Hindu was allowed to enter. Although Haridāsa Ṭhākura was the greatest of all Hindus in his behavior, he considered himself a Mohammedan and did not enter the temple. Lord Caitanya could understand his humility, and since he did not go to see the temple, Lord Caitanya Himself, who is nondifferent from Jagannātha, used to come and sit with Haridāsa Ṭhākura daily. Here in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> we also find this same behavior of the Lord. His devotees were prevented from seeing His lotus feet, but the Lord Himself came to see them on the same lotus feet for which they aspired. It is also significant that He was accompanied by the goddess of fortune. The goddess of fortune is not to be seen by ordinary persons, but the Lord was so kind that although the devotees did not aspire for such an honor, He appeared before them with the goddess of fortune."

"The Lord is always in favor of the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> and the cows, and therefore it is said, <i>go-brāhmaṇa-hitāya ca.</i> Lord Kṛṣṇa or Viṣṇu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is also the worshipable Deity of the <i>brāhmaṇas.</i> In the Vedic literature, in the <i>Ṛg-mantra</i> hymns of the <i>Ṛg Veda,</i> it is stated that those who are actually <i>brāhmaṇas</i> always look to the lotus feet of Viṣṇu: <i>oṁ tad viṣṇoḥ paramaṁ padaṁ sadā paśyanti sūrayaḥ.</i> Those who are qualified <i>brāhmaṇas</i> worship only the Viṣṇu form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, which means Kṛṣṇa, Rāma and all Viṣṇu expansions. A so-called <i>brāhmaṇa,</i> who is born in the family of <i>brāhmaṇas</i> but performs activities aimed against the Vaiṣṇavas, cannot be accepted as a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> because <i>brāhmaṇa</i> means Vaiṣṇava, and Vaiṣṇava means <i>brāhmaṇa.</i> One who has become a devotee of the Lord is also a <i>brāhmaṇa.</i> The formula is <i>brahma jānātīti brāhmaṇaḥ.</i> A <i>brāhmaṇa</i> is one who has understood Brahman, and a Vaiṣṇava is one who has understood the Personality of Godhead. Brahman realization is the beginning of realization of the Personality of Godhead. One who understands the Personality of Godhead also knows the impersonal feature of the Supreme, which is Brahman. Therefore one who becomes a Vaiṣṇava is already a <i>brāhmaṇa.</i> It should be noted that the glories of the <i>brāhmaṇa</i> described in this chapter by the Lord Himself refer to His devotee <i>brāhmaṇa,</i> or the Vaiṣṇava. It should never be misunderstood that the so-called <i>brāhmaṇas</i> who are born in <i>brāhmaṇa</i> families but have no brahminical qualifications are referred to in this connection."

There are twenty-six qualifications mentioned in the <i>Caitanya-caritāmṛta.</i> A devotee should always see that his Vaiṣṇava qualities increase with the advancement of his Kṛṣṇa consciousness. A devotee should be blameless because any offense by the devotee is a scar on the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The devotee's duty is to be always conscious in his dealings with others, especially with another devotee of the Lord."

"Real purification can take place in human society if its members take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. This is clearly stated in all Vedic literature. Anyone who takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness in all sincerity, even if he is not very advanced in good behavior, is purified. A devotee can be recruited from any section of human society, although it is not expected that everyone in all segments of society is well behaved. As stated in this verse and in many places in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> even if one is not born in a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> family, or even if he is born in a family of <i>caṇḍālas,</i> if he simply takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness he is immediately purified. In <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> Ninth Chapter, verses 30-32, it is clearly stated that even though a man is not well behaved, if he simply takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness he is understood to be a saintly person. As long as a person is in this material world he has two different relationships in his dealings with others—one relationship pertains to the body, and another relationship pertains to the spirit. As far as bodily affairs or social activities are concerned, although a person is purified on the spiritual platform, it is sometimes seen that he acts in terms of his bodily relationships. If a devotee born in the family of a <i>caṇḍāla</i> (the lowest caste) is sometimes found engaged in his habitual activities, he is not to be considered a <i>caṇḍāla.</i> In other words, a Vaiṣṇava should not be evaluated in terms of his body. In the <i>śāstra</i> it states that no one should think the Deity in the temple to be made of wood or stone, and no one should think that a person coming from a lower caste family who has taken to Kṛṣṇa consciousness is still of the same low caste. These attitudes are forbidden because anyone who takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness is understood to be fully purified. He is at least engaged in the process of purification, and if he sticks to the principle of Kṛṣṇa consciousness he will very soon be fully purified. The conclusion is that if one takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness with all seriousness, he is to be understood as already purified, and Kṛṣṇa is ready to give him protection by all means. The Lord assures herein that He is ready to give protection to His devotee even if there is need to cut off part of His own body."

In other words, as the devotee is always anxious to render service to the Lord, so the Lord is ever anxious to render service to the devotee. The Lord admits herein that although He certainly has the quality that anyone who receives a slight particle of the dust of His lotus feet becomes at once a great personality, this greatness is due to His affection for His devotee. It is because of this affection that the goddess of fortune does not leave Him and that not only one but many thousands of goddesses of fortune engage in His service. In the material world, simply to get a little favor from the goddess of fortune, people observe so many rigid regulations of austerity and penance.

"The devotee of the Lord, or the Vaiṣṇava, does not take anything without offering it to the Lord. Since a Vaiṣṇava dedicates all the results of his activities to the Lord, he does not taste anything eatable which is not first offered to Him. The Lord also relishes giving to the Vaiṣṇava's mouth all eatables offered to Him. It is clear from this verse that the Lord eats through the sacrificial fire and the <i>brāhmaṇa's</i> mouth. So many articles—grains, ghee, etc.—are offered in sacrifice for the satisfaction of the Lord. The Lord accepts sacrificial offerings from the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> and devotees, and elsewhere it is stated that whatever is given for the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> and Vaiṣṇavas to eat is also accepted by the Lord. But here it is said that He accepts offerings to the mouths of <i>brāhmaṇas</i> and Vaiṣṇavas with even greater relish. The best example of this is found in the life of Advaita Prabhu in his dealings with Haridāsa Ṭhākura. Even though Haridāsa was born of a Mohammedan family, Advaita Prabhu offered him the first dish of <i>prasāda</i> after the performance of a sacred fire ceremony. Haridāsa Ṭhākura informed him that he was born of a Mohammedan family and asked why Advaita Prabhu was offering the first dish to a Mohammedan instead of an elevated <i>brāhmaṇa.</i> Out of his humbleness, Haridāsa condemned himself a Mohammedan, but Advaita Prabhu, being an experienced devotee, accepted him as a real <i>brāhmaṇa.</i> Advaita Prabhu asserted that by offering the first dish to Haridāsa Ṭhākura, he was getting the result of feeding 100,000 <i>brāhmaṇas.</i> The conclusion is that if one can feed a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> or Vaiṣṇava, it is better than performing hundreds of thousands of sacrifices. In this age, therefore, it is recommended that <i>harer nāma</i>—chanting the holy name of God—and pleasing the Vaiṣṇava, are the only means to elevate oneself to spiritual life."

"The difference between the internal and external energies of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is that in the internal energy or in the spiritual world, all the opulences are undisturbed, whereas in the external or material energy, all the opulences are temporary manifestations. The Lord's supremacy is equal in both the spiritual and material worlds, but the spiritual world is called the kingdom of God, and the material world is called the kingdom of <i>māyā.</i> <i>Māyā</i> refers to that which is not actually fact. The opulence of the material world is a reflection. It is stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> that this material world is just like a tree whose roots are up and branches down. This means that the material world is the shadow of the spiritual world. Real opulence is in the spiritual world. In the spiritual world the predominating Deity is the Lord Himself, whereas in the material world there are many lords. That is the difference between the internal and external energies. The Lord says that although He is the predominating factor of the internal energy and although the material world is sanctified just by the water that has washed His feet, He has the greatest respect for the <i>brāhmaṇa</i> and the Vaiṣṇava. When the Lord Himself offers so much respect to the Vaiṣṇava and the <i>brāhmaṇa,</i> how can one deny such respect to such personalities?"

"The defenseless creatures, according to <i>Brahma-saṁhitā,</i> are the cows, <i>brāhmaṇas,</i> women, children and old men. Of these five, the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> and cows are especially mentioned in this verse because the Lord is always anxious about the benefit of the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> and cows and is prayed to in this way. The Lord especially instructs, therefore, that no one should be envious of these five, especially the cows and <i>brāhmaṇas.</i> In some of the <i>Bhāgavatam</i> readings, the word <i>duhitèḥ</i> is used instead of <i>duhatīḥ.</i> But in either case, the meaning is the same. <i>Duhatīḥ</i> means cow, and <i>duhitèḥ</i> can also be used to mean cow because the cow is supposed to be the daughter of the sun-god. Just as children are taken care of by the parents, women as a class should be taken care of by the father, husband or grown-up son. Those who are helpless must be taken care of by their respective guardians, otherwise the guardians will be subjected to the punishment of Yamarāja, who is appointed by the Lord to supervise the activities of sinful living creatures. The assistants or messengers of Yamarāja are likened here to vultures, and those who do not execute their respective duties in protecting their wards are compared to serpents. Vultures deal very seriously with serpents, and similarly the messengers will deal very seriously with neglectful guardians."

"It has been observed in many instances in the Vedic scriptures that when the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> or Vaiṣṇavas curse someone in an angry mood, the person who is cursed does not take it upon himself to treat the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> or Vaiṣṇavas in the same way. There are many examples of this. For instance, the sons of Kuvera, when they were cursed by the great sage Nārada, did not seek revenge in the same harsh way, but submitted. Here also, when Jaya and Vijaya were cursed by the four Kumāras, they did not become harsh towards them; rather, they submitted. That should be the way of treating <i>brāhmaṇas</i> and Vaiṣṇavas. One may sometimes be faced with a grievous situation created by a <i>brāhmaṇa,</i> but instead of meeting him with a similar mood, one should try to pacify him with a smiling face and mild treatment. <i>Brāhmaṇas</i> and Vaiṣṇavas should be accepted as earthly representatives of Nārāyaṇa. Nowadays some foolish persons have manufactured the term \"<i>daridra-nārāyaṇa,\"</i> indicating that the poor man should be accepted as the representative of Nārāyaṇa. But in Vedic literature we do not find that poor men should be treated as representatives of Nārāyaṇa. Of course, \"those who are unprotected\" are mentioned here, but the definition of this phrase is clear from the <i>śāstras.</i> The poor man should not be unprotected, but the <i>brāhmaṇa</i> should especially be treated as the representative of Nārāyaṇa and should be worshiped like Him. It is specifically said that to pacify the <i>brāhmaṇas,</i> one's face should be lotuslike. A lotuslike face is exhibited when one is adorned with love and affection. In this respect, the example of the father's being angry at the son and the son's trying to pacify the father with smiling and sweet words is very appropriate."

"From this statement we can understand how anxious the Lord is to get his servitor back into Vaikuṇṭha. This incident, therefore, proves that those who have once entered a Vaikuṇṭha planet can never fall down. The case of Jaya and Vijaya is not a falldown; it is just an accident. The Lord is always anxious to get such devotees back again to the Vaikuṇṭha planets as soon as possible. It is to be assumed that there is no possibility of a misunderstanding between the Lord and the devotees but when there are discrepancies or disruptions between one devotee and another, one has to suffer the consequences, although that suffering is temporary. The Lord is so kind to His devotees that He took all the responsibility for the doormen's offense and requested the sages to give them facilities to return to Vaikuṇṭha as soon as possible."

"In the <i>Brahma-saṁhitā</i> it is clearly stated that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the cause of all causes. There are undoubtedly many demigods, the chiefs of whom are Brahmā and Śiva. Lord Viṣṇu is the Lord of Brahmā and Śiva, not to speak of the <i>brāhmaṇas </i>who are in this material world. As mentioned in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> the Supreme Lord is very favorable towards all activities performed according to brahminical culture, or the qualities of control of the senses and mind, cleanliness, forbearance, faith in scripture, and practical and theoretical knowledge. The Lord is the Supersoul of everyone. In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> it is said that the Lord is the source of all emanations; thus He is also the source of Brahmā and Śiva."

"The statement in this verse <i>dharmasya paramo guhyo</i> refers to the most confidential part of all religious principles. This is confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā.</i> The conclusion of Lord Kṛṣṇa in His advice to Arjuna is: \"Give up all other religious engagement and just surrender unto Me.\" This is the most confidential knowledge in executing religious principles. In the <i>Bhāgavatam</i> also it is stated that if one does not become Kṛṣṇa conscious after very rigidly executing one's specified religious duties, all his labor in following so-called religious principles is simply a waste of time. Here also the sages confirm the statement that the Supreme Lord, not the demigods, is the ultimate goal of all religious principles. There are many foolish propagandists who say that worship of the demigods is also a way to reach the supreme goal, but in the authorized statements of <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> and <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> this is not accepted. <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> says that one who worships a particular demigod can reach the demigod's planet, but one who worships the Supreme Personality of Godhead can enter into Vaikuṇṭha. Some propagandists say that regardless of what one does he will ultimately reach the supreme abode of the Personality of Godhead, but this is not valid. The Lord is eternal, the Lord's servitor is eternal, and the Lord's abode is also eternal. They are all described here as <i>sanātana,</i> or eternal. The result of devotional service, therefore, is not temporary, as is the achievement of heavenly planets by worshiping the demigods. The sages wanted to stress that although the Lord, out of His causeless mercy, says that He worships the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> and Vaiṣṇavas, actually the Lord is worshipable not only by the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> and Vaiṣṇavas but also by the demigods."

"Unless one is favored by the Supreme Lord, one cannot cross over the ocean of the nescience of repeated birth and death. Here it is stated that <i>yogīs</i> or mystics cross beyond nescience by the mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. There are many kinds of mystics, such as the <i>karma-yogī, jñāna-yogī, dhyāna-yogī</i> and <i>bhakti-yogī.</i> The <i>karmīs</i> particularly search after the favor of the demigods, the <i>jñānīs</i> want to become one with the Supreme Absolute Truth, and the <i>yogīs</i> are satisfied simply by partial vision of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Paramātmā, and ultimately by oneness with Him. But the <i>bhaktas,</i> the devotees, want to associate with the Supreme Personality of Godhead eternally and serve Him. It has already been admitted that the Lord is eternal, and those who want the favor of the Supreme Lord perpetually are also eternal. Therefore \"<i>yogīs\"</i> here means devotees. By the mercy of the Lord, devotees can easily pass beyond the nescience of birth and death and attain the eternal abode of the Lord. The Lord is therefore not in need of another's favor because no one is equal to or greater than Him. Actually, everyone needs the favor of the Lord for successful understanding of his human mission."

"It is said in the <i>Brahma-saṁhitā </i>that the Lord is always served by many hundreds of thousands of goddesses of fortune in His Vaikuṇṭha planet, yet because of His attitude of renunciation of all opulences. He is not attached to any one of them. The Lord has six opulences—unlimited wealth, unlimited fame, unlimited strength, unlimited beauty, unlimited knowledge and unlimited renunciation. All the demigods and other living entities worship Lakṣmī, the goddess of fortune, just to get her favor, yet the Lord is never attached to her because He can create an unlimited number of such goddesses for His transcendental service. The goddess of fortune, Lakṣmī, is sometimes envious of the <i>tulasī</i> leaves which are placed at the lotus feet of the Lord because they remain fixed there and do not move, whereas Lakṣmījī, although stationed by the chest of the Lord, sometimes has to please other devotees who pray for her favor. Lakṣmījī sometimes has to go to satisfy her numerous devotees, but <i>tulasī</i> leaves never forsake their position, and the Lord therefore appreciates the service of the <i>tulasī</i> more than the service of Lakṣmī. When the Lord says, therefore, that it is due to the causeless mercy of the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> that Lakṣmījī does not leave Him, we can understand that Lakṣmījī is attracted by the opulence of the Lord, not by the <i>brāhmaṇas</i>' benedictions upon Him. The Lord is not dependent on anyone's mercy for His opulence; He is always self-sufficient. The Lord's statement that His opulence is due to the benediction of the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> and Vaiṣṇavas is only to teach others that they should offer respect to the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> and Vaiṣṇavas, the devotees of the Lord."

"The Lord is addressed in this verse as <i>tri-yuga,</i> or one who appears in three millenniums—namely the Satya, Dvāpara and Tretā <i>yugas.</i> He is not mentioned as appearing in the fourth millennium, or Kali-yuga. It is described in Vedic literature that in Kali-yuga He comes as <i>channa-avatāra,</i> or an incarnation, but He does not appear as a manifest incarnation. In the other <i>yugas,</i> however, the Lord is a manifest incarnation, and therefore He is addressed as <i>tri-yuga,</i> or the Lord who appears in three <i>yugas.</i>",
|
||||
"Śrīdhara Svāmī describes <i>triyuga</i> as follows: <i>yuga</i> means couple, and <i>tri</i> means three. The Lord is manifested as three couples by His six opulences or three couples of opulences. In that way He can be addressed as <i>triyuga.</i> The Lord is the personality of religious principles. In three millenniums religious principles are protected by three kinds of spiritual culture, namely austerity, cleanliness and mercy. The Lord is called <i>triyuga</i> in that way also. In the age of Kali these three requisites to spiritual culture are almost absent, but the Lord is so kind that in spite of Kali-yuga's being devoid of these three spiritual qualities, He comes and protects the people of this age in His covered incarnation as Lord Caitanya. Lord Caitanya is called covered because although He is Kṛṣṇa Himself, He presents Himself as a devotee of Kṛṣṇa, not directly. The devotees pray to Lord Caitanya, therefore, to eliminate their stock of passion and ignorance, the most conspicuous assets of this <i>yuga.</i> In the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement one cleanses himself of the modes of passion and ignorance by chanting the holy name of the Lord, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, as introduced by Lord Caitanya.",
|
||||
"The four Kumāras were cognizant of their situation in the modes of passion and ignorance because, although in Vaikuṇṭha, they wanted to curse devotees of the Lord. Since they were conscious of their own weakness, they prayed to the Lord to remove their still existing passion and ignorance. The three transcendental qualifications, cleanliness, austerity and mercy, are the qualifications of the twice-born and the demigods. Those who are not situated in the quality of goodness cannot accept these three principles of spiritual culture. For the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, therefore, there are three sinful activities which are prohibited—namely illicit sex, intoxication, and eating food other than the <i>prasāda</i> offered to Kṛṣṇa. These three prohibitions are based on the principles of austerity, cleanliness and mercy. Devotees are merciful because they spare the poor animals, and they are clean because they are free of contamination from unwanted foodstuff and unwanted habits. Austerity is represented by restricted sex life. These principles, indicated by the prayers of the four Kumāras, should be followed by the devotees who are engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness."

"In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> it is stated by the Lord Himself that the acts and character of great authorities are followed by people in general. Leaders of ideal character are therefore needed in society. Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, appeared in this material world just to show the example of perfect authority, and people have to follow His path. The Vedic injunction is that one cannot understand the Absolute Truth simply by mental speculation or logical argument. One has to follow the authorities. <i>Mahājano yena gataḥ sa panthāḥ. </i>Great authorities should be followed; otherwise, if we simply depend on the scriptures, we are sometimes misled by rascals, or else we cannot understand or follow the different spiritual injunctions. The best path is to follow the authorities. The four <i>brāhmaṇa </i>sages stated that Kṛṣṇa is naturally the protector of the cows and <i>brāhmaṇas:</i> <i>go-brāhmaṇa-hitāya ca.</i> When Kṛṣṇa was on this planet, He set a practical example. He was a cowherd boy, and He was very respectful to the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> and devotees.",
|
||||
"It is also affirmed herein that the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> are the best of the twice-born. <i>Brāhmaṇas, kṣatriyas</i> and <i>vaiśyas</i> are all twice-born, but the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> are the best. When there is a fight between two persons, each of them protects the upper part of his body—the head, the arms and the belly. Similarly, for the actual advancement of human civilization, the best part of the social body, namely the <i>brāhmaṇas,</i> the <i>kṣatriyas</i> and <i>vaiśyas</i> (the intelligent class of men, the military class and the mercantile men) should be given special protection. Protection of the laborers should not be neglected, but special protection should be given to the upper orders. Of all classes of men, the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> and the Vaiṣṇavas should be given special protection. They should be worshiped. When their protection is performed, it is just like worshiping God. That is not exactly protection; it is a duty. One should worship the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> and Vaiṣṇavas by offering them all kinds of endowments and sweet words, and if one has no means to offer anything, he must at least use sweet words to pacify them. The Lord personally exhibited this behavior towards the Kumāras.",
|
||||
"If this system is not introduced by the leaders, then human civilization will be lost. When there is no protection and special treatment for persons who are devotees of the Lord, who are highly intelligent in spiritual life, then the whole society is lost. The word <i>naṅkṣyati</i> indicates that such a civilization becomes spoiled and is annihilated. The kind of civilization recommended is called <i>deva-pathin</i>; which means the royal road of the demigods. Demigods are supposed to be fully fixed in devotional service or Kṛṣṇa consciousness; that is the auspicious path that should be protected. If the authorities or the leaders of society do not give special respect to the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> and Vaiṣṇavas and do not offer them not only sweet words but all facilities, then the path of progress will be lost to human civilization. The Lord personally wanted to teach this, and therefore He offered so much praise to the Kumāras."

"Lord Kṛṣṇa was never reduced in His position by becoming a cowherd boy or by offering respect to Sudāmā Brāhmaṇa or to His other devotees like Nanda Mahārāja, Vasudeva, Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira and the Pāṇḍavas' mother, Kuntī. Everyone knew that He was the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, yet His behavior was exemplary. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is <i>sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha;</i> His form is completely spiritual, full of bliss and knowledge, and it is eternal. Because the living entities are His parts and parcels, originally they also belong to the same quality of eternal form as the Lord, but when they come in contact with <i>māyā,</i> the material potency, due to their forgetfulness their existential constitution is covered. We should try to understand the appearance of Lord Kṛṣṇa in this spirit, as the Kumāras pray to Him. He is eternally a cowherd boy at Vṛndāvana, He is eternally the leader of the Battle of Kurukṣetra, and He is eternally the opulent prince of Dvārakā and the lover of the damsels of Vṛndāvana; all His appearances are meaningful because they show His real characteristics to the conditioned souls who have forgotten their relationship with the Supreme Lord. He does everything for their benefit. The force exhibited in the Battle of Kurukṣetra by the desire of Kṛṣṇa and through the agency of Arjuna was also necessary because when people become too irreligious, force is required. Nonviolence in this respect is rascaldom."

"The sages, the four Kumāras, now reject their cursing of the two doorkeepers, Jaya and Vijaya, because they are now conscious that persons who engage in the service of the Lord cannot be at fault at any stage. It is said that anyone who has implicit faith in the service of the Lord, or who actually engages in transcendental loving service, has all the good qualities of the demigods. Therefore, a devotee cannot be at fault. If sometimes it is found that he is in error by accident or by some temporary arrangement, that should not be taken very seriously. The cursing of Jaya and Vijaya is here repented. Now the Kumāras are thinking in terms of their position in the modes of passion and ignorance, and they are prepared to accept any kind of punishment from the Lord. In general, when dealing with devotees, we should not try to find faults. In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> also it is confirmed that the devotee who faithfully serves the Supreme Lord, even if found to commit a gross mistake, should be considered a <i>sādhu</i> or saintly person. Due to former habits he may commit some wrong, but because he is engaged in the service of the Lord, that wrong should not be taken very seriously."

"The Lord stated that the punishment inflicted by the sages upon the doorkeepers Jaya and Vijaya was conceived by the Lord Himself. Without the Lord's sanction, nothing can happen. It is to be understood that there was a plan in the cursing of the Lord's devotees in Vaikuṇṭha, and His plan is explained by many stalwart authorities. The Lord sometimes desires to fight. The fighting spirit also exists in the Supreme Lord, otherwise how could fighting be manifested at all? Because the Lord is the source of everything, anger and fighting are also inherent in His personality. When He desires to fight with someone, He has to find an enemy, but in the Vaikuṇṭha world there is no enemy because everyone is engaged fully in His service. Therefore He sometimes comes to the material world as an incarnation in order to manifest His fighting spirit.",
|
||||
"In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> also it is said that the Lord appears just to give protection to the devotees and to annihilate the nondevotees (Bg. 4.8). The nondevotees are found in the material world, not in the spiritual world; therefore, when the Lord wants to fight, He has to come to this world. But who will fight with the Supreme Lord? No one is able to fight with Him! Therefore, because the Lord's pastimes in the material world are always performed with His associates, not with others, He has to find some devotee who will play the part of an enemy. In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> the Lord says to Arjuna, \"My dear Arjuna, both you and I appeared many, many times in this material world, but you have forgotten, whereas I remember.\" Thus Jaya and Vijaya were selected by the Lord to fight with Him in the material world, and that was the reason the sages came to see Him and accidentally the doorkeepers were cursed. It was the Lord's desire to send them to the material world, not perpetually, but for some time. Therefore, just as, on a theatrical stage, someone takes the part of enemy to the proprietor of the stage although the play is for a short time and there is no permanent enmity between the servant and the proprietor, similarly the <i>sura-janas</i> (devotees) were cursed by the sages to go to the <i>asura-jana</i> or atheistic families. That a devotee should come into an atheistic family is surprising, but it is simply a show. After finishing their mock fighting, both the devotee and the Lord are again associated in the spiritual planets. That is very explicitly explained here. The conclusion is that no one falls from the spiritual world or Vaikuṇṭha planet, for it is the eternal abode. But sometimes, as the Lord desires, devotees come into this material world as preachers or as atheists. In each case we must understand that there is a plan of the Lord. Lord Buddha, for example, is an incarnation, yet he preached atheism: \"There is no God.\" But actually there was a plan behind this, as explained in the <i>Bhāgavatam.</i>"

All these incidents, therefore, were designed by the Lord Himself for the sake of His pastimes in the material world. Thus He plainly says that it was done with His approval. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for inhabitants of Vaikuṇṭha to come back to this material world simply because of a brahminical curse. The Lord especially blesses the so-called culprits: \"All glories unto you.\" A devotee, once accepted by the Lord, can never fall down. That is the conclusion of this incident."

"The Supreme Personality of Godhead advised the two doorkeepers, Jaya and Vijaya, that by dint of <i>bhakti-yoga</i> in anger they would be delivered from the curses of the <i>brāhmaṇas.</i> Śrīla Madhva Muni remarks in this connection that by practicing <i>bhakti-yoga</i> one can become free from all sinful reactions. Even a <i>brahma-śāpa,</i> or curse by a <i>brāhmaṇa,</i> which cannot be overcome by any other means, can be overcome by <i>bhakti-yoga.</i>",
|
||||
"One can practice <i>bhakti-yoga</i> in many <i>rasas.</i> There are twelve <i>rasas,</i> five primary and seven secondary. The five primary <i>rasas</i> constitute direct <i>bhakti-yoga,</i> but although the seven secondary <i>rasas</i> are indirect, they are also counted within <i>bhakti-yoga</i> if they are used in the service of the Lord. In other words, <i>bhakti-yoga</i> is all-inclusive. If one somehow or other becomes attached to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he becomes engaged in <i>bhakti-yoga,</i> as described in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (10.29.15): <i>kāmaṁ krodhaṁ bhayam.</i> The <i>gopīs</i> were attracted to Kṛṣṇa by <i>bhakti-yoga</i> in a relationship of lusty desire (<i>kāma</i>). Similarly, Kaṁsa was attached to <i>bhakti-yoga</i> by dint of fear of his death. Thus <i>bhakti-yoga</i> is so powerful that even becoming an enemy of the Lord and always thinking of Him can deliver one very quickly. It is said, <i>viṣṇu-bhakto bhaved daiva āsuras tad-viparayāt:</i> \"Devotees of Lord Viṣṇu are called demigods, whereas nondevotees are called <i>asuras.</i>\" But <i>bhakti-yoga</i> is so powerful that both demigods and <i>asuras</i> can derive its benefits if they always think of the Personality of Godhead. The basic principle of <i>bhakti-yoga</i> is to think of the Supreme Lord always. The Lord says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i>, <i>man-manā bhava mad-bhaktaḥ:</i> \"Always think of Me.\" (Bg. 18.65) It doesn't matter in which way one thinks; the very thought of the Personality of Godhead is the basic principle of <i>bhakti-yoga.</i>",
|
||||
"In the material planets there are different grades of sinful activities, of which disrespecting a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> or a Vaiṣṇava is the most sinful. Here it is clearly stated that one can overcome even that grave sin simply by thinking of Viṣṇu, not even favorably but in anger. Thus even if those who are not devotees always think of Viṣṇu, they become free from all sinful activities. Kṛṣṇa consciousness is the highest form of thought. Lord Viṣṇu is thought of in this age by chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. From the statements of the <i>Bhāgavatam</i> it appears that if one thinks of Kṛṣṇa, even as an enemy, that particular qualification—<i>thinking of Viṣṇu or Kṛṣṇa</i>—cleanses one of all sins."

"It is clear from this verse that all the incidents took place at the entrance of Vaikuṇṭhaloka. In other words, the sages were not actually within Vaikuṇṭhaloka, but were at the gate. It could be asked, \"How could they return to the material world again if they entered Vaikuṇṭhaloka?\" But factually they did not enter, and therefore they returned. There are many similar incidents where great <i>yogīs</i> and <i>brāhmaṇas,</i> by dint of their <i>yoga</i> practice, have gone from this material world to Vaikuṇṭhaloka—but they were not meant to stay there. They came back again. It is also confirmed here that the Lord was surrounded by many Vaikuṇṭha airplanes. Vaikuṇṭhaloka is described here as having splendid opulence, far surpassing the splendor of this material world.",

"All other living creatures, including the demigods, are born of Brahmā, and Brahmā is born of Lord Viṣṇu. Kṛṣṇa states in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> in the Tenth Chapter, <i>ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavaḥ: </i>Lord Viṣṇu is the origin of all manifestations in the material world. Those who know that Lord Viṣṇu is the origin of everything, who are conversant with the process of creation and who understand that Viṣṇu or Kṛṣṇa is the most worshipable object of all living entities, engage themselves in Viṣṇu worship as Vaiṣṇavas. The Vedic hymns also confirm this: <i>oṁ tad viṣṇoḥ paramaṁ padam.</i> The goal of life is to understand Viṣṇu. The <i>Bhāgavatam</i> also confirms this elsewhere. Foolish people, not knowing that Viṣṇu is the supreme worshipable object, create so many worshipable objects in this material world, and therefore they fall down."

"Here is clear proof of how a living entity coming originally from Vaikuṇṭhaloka is encaged in material elements. The living entity takes shelter within the semina of a father, which is injected within the womb of a mother, and with the help of the mother's emulsified ovum the living entity grows a particular type of body. In this connection it is to be remembered that the mind of Kaśyapa Muni was not in order when he conceived the two sons, Hiraṇyākṣa and Hiraṇyakaśipu. Therefore the semina he discharged was simultaneously extremely powerful and mixed with the quality of anger. It is to be concluded that while conceiving a child one's mind must be very sober and devotional. For this purpose the <i>Garbhādhāna-saṁskāra</i> is recommended in the Vedic scriptures. If the mind of the father is not sober, the semina discharged will not be very good. Thus the living entity, wrapped in the matter produced from the father and mother, will be demoniac like Hiraṇyākṣa and Hiraṇyakaśipu. The conditions of conception are to be carefully studied. This is a very great science."

They came within the material world by the order of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and He alone could counteract such disturbances. In other words, although Jaya and Vijaya assumed the bodies of <i>asuras,</i> they remained more powerful than anyone, thus proving that the Supreme Personality of Godhead desired to fight because the fighting spirit is also within Him. He is the original in everything, but when He desires to fight He must fight with a devotee. Therefore by His desire only were Jaya and Vijaya cursed by the Kumāras. The Lord ordered the gatekeepers to go down to the material world to become His enemies so that He could fight with them and His fighting desires would be satisfied by the service of His personal devotees.",
|

"Brahmā showed the demigods that the situation created by the darkness, for which they were disturbed, was the desire of the Supreme Lord. He wanted to show that even though these two attendants were coming in the forms of demons, they were very powerful, greater than the demigods, who could not control them. No one, can surpass the acts of the Supreme Lord. The demigods were also advised not to try to counteract this incident because it was ordered by the Lord. Similarly, anyone who is ordered by the Lord to perform some action in this material world, especially preaching His glories, cannot be counteracted by anyone; the will of the Lord is executed under all circumstances."

"translation": "<b>My dear sons, the Lord is the controller of the three modes of nature and is responsible for the creation, preservation and dissolution of the universe. His wonderful creative power, yoga-māyā, cannot be easily understood even by the masters of yoga, and that most ancient person, the Personality of Godhead, will alone come to our rescue. What purpose can we serve on His behalf by deliberating on the subject?</b>",

"When something is arranged by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one should not be disturbed by it, even if it appears to be a reverse according to his calculation. For example, sometimes we see that a powerful preacher is killed, or sometimes he is put into difficulty, just as Haridāsa Ṭhākura was. He was a great devotee who came into this material world to execute the will of the Lord by preaching the Lord's glories. But Haridāsa was punished at the hands of the Kazi by being beaten in twenty-two marketplaces. Similarly, Lord Jesus Christ was crucified, and Prahlāda Mahārāja was put through so many tribulations. The Pāṇḍavas, who were direct friends of Kṛṣṇa, lost their kingdom; their wife was insulted, and they had to undergo many severe tribulations. Seeing all these reverses affect devotees, one should not be disturbed; one should simply understand that in these matters there must be some plan of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The <i>Bhāgavatam's</i> conclusion is that a devotee is never disturbed by such reverses. He accepts even reverse conditions as the grace of the Lord. One who continues to serve the Lord even in reverse conditions is assured that he will go back to Godhead, back to the Vaikuṇṭha planets. Lord Brahmā assured the demigods that there was no use in talking about how the disturbing situation of darkness was taking place, since the actual fact was that it was ordered by the Supreme Lord. Brahmā knew this because he was a great devotee; it was possible for him to understand the plan of the Lord."
