"When the Supreme Personality of Godhead comes to disseminate spiritual knowledge for the benefit of all people, he generally descends as the son of a devotee, being pleased by the devotee's devotional service. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is the father of everyone. No one, therefore, is His father, but by His inconceivable energy He accepts some of the devotees as His parents and descendants. It is explained here that spiritual knowledge vanquishes the knot of the heart. Matter and spirit are knotted by false ego. This identification of oneself with matter, which is called <i>hṛdaya-granthi,</i> exists for all conditioned souls, and it becomes more and more tightened when there is too much affection for sex life. The explanation was given by Lord Ṛṣabha to his sons that this material world is an atmosphere of attraction between male and female. That attraction takes the shape of a knot in the heart, and by material affection it becomes still more tight. For people who hanker after material possessions, society, friendship and love, this knot of affection becomes very strong. It is only by <i>brahma-bhāvana</i>—the instruction by which spiritual knowledge is enhanced—that the knot in the heart is cut to pieces. No material weapon is needed to cut this knot, but it requires bona fide spiritual instruction. Kardama Muni instructed his wife, Devahūti, that the Lord would appear as her son and disseminate spiritual knowledge to cut the knot of material identification."

"This is the process of spiritual realization; one has to receive instruction from a bona fide spiritual master. Although Kardama Muni was Devahūti's husband, because he instructed her on how to achieve spiritual perfection, he naturally became her spiritual master also. There are many instances wherein the husband becomes the spiritual master. Lord Śiva also is the spiritual master of his consort, Pārvatī. A husband should be so enlightened that he should become the spiritual master of his wife in order to enlighten her in the advancement of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Generally <i>strī,</i> or woman, is less intelligent than man; therefore, if the husband is intelligent enough, the woman gets a great opportunity for spiritual enlightenment.",
|
||||
"Here it is clearly said (<i>samyak śraddhāya</i>) that with great faith one should receive knowledge from the spiritual master and with great faith execute the performance of service. Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura, in his commentary on <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> has especially stressed the instruction of the spiritual master. One should accept the instruction of the spiritual master as one's life and soul. Whether one is liberated or not liberated, he should execute the instruction of the spiritual master with great faith. It is also stated that the Lord is situated in everyone's heart. One doesn't have to seek the Lord outside; He is already there. One simply has to concentrate on his worship in good faith, as instructed by the bona fide spiritual master, and his efforts will come out successfully. It is also clear that the Supreme Personality of Godhead does not appear as an ordinary child; He appears as He is. As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> He appears by His own internal potency, <i>ātma-māyā.</i> And how does He appear? He appears when pleased by the worship of a devotee. A devotee may ask the Lord to appear as her son. The Lord is already sitting within the heart, and if He comes out from the body of a devotee it does not mean that the particular woman becomes His mother in the material sense. He is always there, but in order to please His devotee, He appears as her son."

"It is clearly stated here that the Lord is always the Supreme Personality of Godhead, although He appeared as the son of Kardama Muni. Fire is already present in wood, but by a certain process, fire is kindled. Similarly, God is all-pervading. He is everywhere, and since He may come out from everything, He appeared in His devotee's semina. Just as an ordinary living entity takes his birth by taking shelter of the semina of a certain living entity, similarly the Supreme Personality of Godhead accepts the shelter of the semina of His devotee and comes out as His son. This manifests His full independence to act in any way, and it does not mean that He is an ordinary living entity forced to take birth in a certain type of womb. Lord Nṛsiṁha appeared from the pillar of Hiraṇyakaśipu's palace, Lord Varāha appeared from the nostril of Brahmā, and Lord Kapila appeared from the semina of Kardama, but this does not mean that the nostril of Brahmā or the pillar of Hiraṇyakaśipu's palace or the semina of Kardama Muni is the source of the appearance of the Lord. The Lord is always the Lord. <i>Bhagavān madhusūdanaḥ</i>—He is the killer of all kinds of demons, and He always remains the Lord, even if He appears as the son of a particular devotee. The word <i>kārdamam</i> is significant, for it indicates that the Lord had some devotional affection or relationship in devotional service with Kardama and Devahūti. But we should not mistakenly understand that He was born just like an ordinary living entity from the semina of Kardama Muni in the womb of Devahūti."

|
||||
"purport": [
|

"In <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> Fifteenth Chapter, it is stated that the Lord Himself is the compiler of <i>Vedānta-sūtra,</i> and He is the perfect knower of <i>Vedānta-sūtra.</i> Similarly, the <i>sāṅkhya</i> philosophy is compiled by the Supreme Personality of Godhead in His appearance as Kapila. There is an imitation Kapila who has a <i>sāṅkhya</i> philosophical system, but Kapila the incarnation of God is different from that Kapila. Kapila, the son of Kardama Muni, in His system of <i>sāṅkhya</i> philosophy, very explicitly explained not only the material world but also the spiritual world. Brahmā could understand this fact because he is <i>sva-rāṭ,</i> almost independent in receiving knowledge. He is called <i>sva-rāṭ</i> because he did not go to any school or college to learn but learned everything from within. Because Brahmā is the first living creature within this universe, he had no teacher; his teacher was the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself, who is seated in the heart of every living creature. Brahmā acquired knowledge directly from the Supreme Lord within the heart; therefore he is sometimes called <i>sva-rāṭ</i> and <i>aja.</i>",
|
||||
"Another important point is stated here. <i>Sattvenāṁśena:</i> when the Supreme Personality of Godhead appears, He brings with Him all His paraphernalia of Vaikuṇṭha; therefore His name, His form, His quality, His paraphernalia and His entourage all belong to the transcendental world. Real goodness is in the transcendental world. Here in the material world, the quality of goodness is not pure. Goodness may exist, but there must also be some tinges of passion and ignorance. In the spiritual world the unalloyed quality of goodness prevails; there the quality of goodness is called <i>śuddha-sattva,</i> pure goodness. Another name for <i>śuddha-sattva</i> is <i>vāsudeva</i> because God is born from Vasudeva. Another meaning is that when one is purely situated in the qualities of goodness, he can understand the form, name, quality, paraphernalia and entourage of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The word <i>aṁśena</i> also indicates that the Supreme Personality of Godhead Kṛṣṇa appeared as Kapiladeva in His portion of the portion. God expands either as <i>kalā</i> or as <i>aṁśa. Aṁśa</i> means direct expansion, and <i>kalā</i> means expansion of the expansion. There is no difference between the expansion, the expansion of the expansion and the Supreme Personality of Godhead directly, as there is no difference between one candle and another—but still the candle from which the others are lit is called the original. Kṛṣṇa, therefore, is called the Parabrahman, or the Ultimate Godhead and cause of all causes."

"As explained in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> Fourth Chapter, anyone who understands the transcendental activities, the appearance and disappearance of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is to be considered liberated. Brahmā, therefore, is a liberated soul. Although he is in charge of this material world, he is not exactly like the common living entity. Since he is liberated from the majority of the follies of the common living entities, he was in knowledge of the appearance of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and he therefore worshiped the Lord's activities, and with a glad heart he also praised Kardama Muni because the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as Kapila, appeared as his son. One who can become the father of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is certainly a great devotee. There is a verse spoken by a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> in which he says that he does not know what the <i>Vedas</i> and what the <i>Purāṇas</i> are, but while others might be interested in the <i>Vedas</i> or <i>Purāṇas,</i> he is interested in Nanda Mahārāja, who appeared as the father of Kṛṣṇa. He wanted to worship Nanda Mahārāja because the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as a child, crawled in the yard of his house. These are some of the good sentiments of devotees. If a recognized devotee brings forth the Supreme Personality of Godhead as his son, how he should be praised! Brahmā, therefore, not only worshiped the incarnation of Godhead Kapila, but he praised His so-called father, Kardama Muni."

"Lord Brahmā, as the first living entity within the universe, is supposed to be the spiritual master of everyone, and he is also the father, the creator, of all beings. Kardama Muni is one of the <i>prajāpatis</i>, or creators of the living entities, and he is also a son of Brahmā. Brahmā praises Kardama because he carried out the orders of the spiritual master <i>in toto</i> and without cheating. A conditioned soul in the material world has the disqualification of cheating. He has four disqualifications: he is sure to commit mistakes, he is sure to be illusioned, he is prone to cheat others, and his senses are imperfect. But if anyone carries out the order of the spiritual master by disciplic succession or the <i>paramparā</i> system, he overcomes the four defects. Therefore, knowledge received from the bona fide spiritual master is not cheating. Any other knowledge which is manufactured by the conditioned soul is cheating only. Brahmā knew well that Kardama Muni exactly carried out the instructions received from him and that he actually honored his spiritual master. To honor the spiritual master means to carry out his instructions word for word."

"Two words in this verse are very important; one word is <i>pitari,</i> and another word is <i>guroḥ.</i> The son or disciple should accept the words of his spiritual master and father without hesitation. Whatever the father and the spiritual master order should be taken without argument: \"Yes.\" There should be no instance in which the disciple or the son says, \"This is not correct. I cannot carry it out.\" When he says that, he is fallen. The father and the spiritual master are on the same platform because a spiritual master is the second father. The higher classes are called <i>dvija,</i> twice-born. Whenever there is a question of birth, there must be a father. The first birth is made possible by the actual father, and the second birth is made possible by the spiritual master. Sometimes the father and the spiritual master may be the same man, and sometimes they are different men. In any case, the order of the father or the order of the spiritual master must be carried out without hesitation, with an immediate \"yes.\" There should be no argument. That is real service to the father and to the spiritual master. Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura has stated that the order of the spiritual master is the life and soul of the disciples. As a man cannot separate his life from his body, so a disciple cannot separate the order of the spiritual master from his life. If a disciple follows the instruction of the spiritual master in that way, he is sure to become perfect. This is confirmed in the <i>Upaniṣads:</i> the import of Vedic instruction is revealed automatically only to one who has implicit faith in the Supreme Personality of Godhead and in his spiritual master. One may be materially considered an illiterate man, but if he has faith in the spiritual master as well as in the Supreme Personality of Godhead, then the meaning of scriptural revelation is immediately manifested before him."

"The nine principal <i>ṛṣis</i> or sages are Marīci, Atri, Aṅgirā, Pulastya, Pulaha, Kratu, Bhṛgu, Vasiṣṭha and Atharvā. All these <i>ṛṣis</i> are most important, and Brahmā desired that the nine daughters already born of Kardama Muni be handed over to them. Here two words are used very significantly—<i>yathā-śīlam</i> and <i>yathā-ruci.</i> The daughters should be handed over to the respective <i>ṛṣis,</i> not blindly but according to the combination of character and taste. That is the art of combining a man and woman. Man and woman should not be united simply on the consideration of sex life. There are many other considerations, especially character and taste. If the taste and character differ between the man and woman, their combination will be unhappy. Even about forty years ago, in Indian marriages, the taste and character of the boy and girl were first of all matched, and then they were allowed to marry. This was done under the direction of the respective parents. The parents used to astrologically determine the character and tastes of the boy and girl, and when they corresponded, the match was selected: \"This girl and this boy are just suitable, and they should be married.\" Other considerations were less important. The same system was also advised in the beginning of the creation by Brahmā: \"Your daughters should be handed over to the <i>ṛṣis</i> according to taste and character.\"",
|
||||
"According to astrological calculation, a person is classified according to whether he belongs to the godly or demoniac quality. In that way the spouse was selected. A girl of godly quality should be handed over to a boy of godly quality. A girl of demoniac quality should be handed over to a boy of demoniac quality. Then they will be happy. But if the girl is demoniac and the boy is godly, then the combination is incompatible; they cannot be happy in such a marriage. At the present moment, because boys and girls are not married according to quality and character, most marriages are unhappy, and there is divorce.",
|
||||
"It is foretold in the Twelfth Canto of the <i>Bhāgavatam</i> that in this age of Kali married life will be accepted on the consideration of sex only; when the boy and the girl are pleased in sex, they get married, and when there is deficiency in sex, they separate. That is not actual marriage, but a combination of men and women like cats and dogs. Therefore, the children produced in the modern age are not exactly human beings. Human beings must be twice-born. A child is first born of a good father and mother, and then he is born again of the spiritual master and the <i>Vedas.</i> The first mother and father bring about his birth into the world; then the spiritual master and the <i>Vedas</i> become his second father and mother. According to the Vedic system of marriage for producing children, every man and woman was enlightened in spiritual knowledge, and at the time of their combination to produce a child, everything was scrutinizingly and scientifically done."

"In this verse we find the words <i>puruṣam avatīrṇaṁ sva-māyayā.</i> The Supreme Personality of Godhead is everlastingly, eternally, the form of <i>puruṣa,</i> the predominator or enjoyer, and when He appears He never accepts anything of this material energy. The spiritual world is a manifestation of His personal, internal potency, whereas the material world is a manifestation of His material or differentiated energy. The word <i>sva-māyayā,</i> by His own internal potency, indicates that whenever the Supreme Personality of Godhead descends, He comes in His own energy. He may assume the body of a human being, but that body is not material. In <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> therefore, it is clearly stated that only fools and rascals, <i>mūḍhas,</i> consider the body of Kṛṣṇa to be the body of a common human being. The word <i>śevadhim</i> means that He is the original bestower of all the necessities of life upon the living entities. In the <i>Vedas</i> also it is stated that He is the chief living entity, and He bestows all the desired necessities of other living entities. Because He is the bestower of the necessities of all others, he is called God. The Supreme is also a living entity; He is not impersonal. As we are individual, so the Supreme Personality of Godhead is also individual—but He is the supreme individual. That is the difference between God and the ordinary living entities."

"In this verse the activities and bodily features of Kapila Muni are very nicely described. The activities of Kapila Muni are forecast herein: He will present the philosophy of <i>sāṅkhya</i> in such a way that by studying His philosophy people will be able to uproot the deep-rooted desire for <i>karma,</i> fruitive activities. Everyone in this material world engages in achieving the fruits of his labor. A man tries to be happy by achieving the fruits of his own honest labor, but actually he becomes more and more entangled. One cannot get out of this entanglement unless he has perfect knowledge or devotional service.",
|
||||
"Those who are trying to get out of the entanglement by speculation are also doing their best, but in the Vedic scriptures we find that if anyone has taken to the devotional service of the Lord in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he can very easily uproot the deep-rooted desire for fruitive activities. <i>Sāṅkhya</i> philosophy will be broadcast by Kapila Muni for that purpose. His bodily features are also described herein. <i>Jñāna</i> does not refer to ordinary research work. <i>Jñāna</i> entails receiving knowledge from the scriptures through the spiritual master by disciplic succession. In the modern age there is a tendency to do research by mental speculation and concoction. But the man who speculates forgets that he himself is subject to the four defects of nature: he is sure to commit mistakes, his senses are imperfect, he is sure to fall into illusion, and he is cheating. Unless one has perfect knowledge from disciplic succession, he simply puts forth some theories of his own creation; therefore he is cheating people. <i>Jñāna</i> means knowledge received through disciplic succession from the scriptures, and <i>vijñāna</i> means practical application of such knowledge. Kapila Muni's <i>sāṅkhya</i> system of philosophy is based on <i>jñāna</i> and <i>vijñāna.</i>"

"Here the word <i>avidyā</i> is very significant. <i>Avidyā</i> means forgetfulness of one's identity. Every one of us is a spirit soul, but we have forgotten.

That knot is also called <i>ahaṅkāra,</i> the junction of matter and spirit. By proper knowledge received from the scriptures in disciplic succession and by proper application of that knowledge, one can free himself from this binding combination of matter and spirit. Brahmā assures Devahūti that her son will enlighten her, and after enlightening her He will travel all over the world, distributing the system of <i>sāṅkhya</i> philosophy.",

At the present moment the so-called <i>yoga</i> system is prosecuted on the understanding that by agitation of the different stations of the bodily construction one can find that he is God. The mental speculators think similarly, but they are all doubtful. Real knowledge is expounded in <i>Bhagavad-gītā:</i> \"Just become Kṛṣṇa conscious. Just worship Kṛṣṇa and become a devotee of Kṛṣṇa.\" That is real knowledge, and anyone who follows that system becomes perfect without a doubt."

"Lord Viṣṇu is called <i>tri-yuga</i>. He appears in three <i>yugas</i>, Satya, Tretā, Dvāpara—but in Kali-yuga He does not appear. From the prayers of Prahlāda Mahārāja, however, we understand that He appears garbed as a devotee in Kali-yuga. Lord Caitanya is that devotee. Kṛṣṇa appeared in the form of a devotee, but although He never disclosed Himself, Rūpa Gosvāmī could understand His identity, for the Lord cannot hide Himself from a pure devotee. Rūpa Gosvāmī detected Him when he offered his first obeisances to Lord Caitanya. He knew that He was Kṛṣṇa Himself and therefore offered his obeisances with the following words: \"I offer my respects to Kṛṣṇa, who has now appeared as Lord Caitanya.\" This is also confirmed in the prayers of Prahlāda Mahārāja: in Kali-yuga He does not directly appear, but He appears as a devotee. Viṣṇu, therefore, is known as <i>tri-yuga.</i> Another explanation of <i>tri-yuga</i> is that He has three pairs of divine attributes, namely power and affluence, piety and renown, and wisdom and dispassion. According to Śrīdhara Svāmī, His three pairs of opulences are complete riches and complete strength, complete fame and complete beauty, and complete wisdom and complete renunciation. There are different interpretations of <i>tri-yuga,</i> but it is accepted by all learned scholars that <i>tri-yuga</i> means Viṣṇu. When Kardama Muni understood that His son Kapila was Viṣṇu Himself, he wanted to offer his obeisances. Therefore, when Kapila was alone he offered his respects and expressed his mind as follows."

"This material world is a place for suffering, which is due to the misdeeds of the inhabitants, the conditioned souls themselves. The sufferings are not extraneously imposed upon them; rather, they create their own suffering by their own acts. In the forest, fire takes place automatically. It is not that someone has to go there and set a fire, but because of friction among various trees, fire occurs automatically. When there is too much heat from the forest fire of this material world, the demigods, including Brahmā himself, being harassed, approach the Supreme Lord, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and appeal to Him to alleviate the condition. Then the Supreme Personality of Godhead descends. In other words, when the demigods become distressed by the sufferings of the conditioned souls, they approach the Lord to remedy the suffering, and the Personality of Godhead descends. When the Lord descends, all the demigods become enlivened. Therefore Kardama Muni said, \"After many, many years of human suffering all the demigods are now satisfied because Kapiladeva, the incarnation of Godhead, has appeared.\""

"Some important things are mentioned here about <i>yoga.</i> The word <i>bahu-janma-vipakvena</i> means after many, many births of mature <i>yoga</i> practice. And another word, <i>samyag-yoga-samādhinā,</i> means by complete practice of the <i>yoga</i> system. Complete practice of <i>yoga</i> means <i>bhakti-yoga;</i> unless one comes to the point of <i>bhakti-yoga,</i> or surrender unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one's <i>yoga</i> practice is not complete. This same point is corroborated in the <i>Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā.</i> <i>Bahūnāṁ janmanām ante:</i> after many, many births, the <i>jñānī</i> who has matured in transcendental knowledge surrenders unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Kardama Muni repeats the same statement: After many, many years and many, many births of complete practice of <i>yoga,</i> one can see the lotus feet of the Supreme Lord in a secluded place. It is not that after one practices some sitting postures he immediately becomes perfect. One has to perform <i>yoga</i> a long time—\"many, many births\"—to become mature, and a <i>yogī</i> has to practice in a secluded place. One cannot practice <i>yoga</i> in a city or in a public park and declare that he has become God simply by some exchange of dollars. This is all bogus propaganda. Those who are actually <i>yogīs</i> practice in a secluded place, and after many, many births they become successful, provided they surrender unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead, which is the completion of <i>yoga.</i>"

In other words, devotional service to the Lord is so easy that even a householder can see the Supreme Personality of Godhead as one of the members of his household, as his son, as Kardama Muni experienced.

|

"Devotional service is such a powerful transcendental method that it surpasses all other methods of transcendental realization. The Lord says, therefore, that He lives neither in Vaikuṇṭha nor in the heart of a <i>yogī,</i> but He lives where His pure devotees are always chanting and glorifying Him. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is known as <i>bhakta-vatsala.</i> He is never described as <i>jñānī-vatsala</i> or <i>yogī-vatsala.</i> He is always described as <i>bhakta-vatsala</i> because He is more inclined towards His devotees than towards other transcendentalists. In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> it is confirmed that only a devotee can understand Him as He is. <i>Bhaktyā mām abhijānāti: </i>\"One can understand Me only by devotional service, not otherwise.\" That understanding alone is real because although <i>jñānīs,</i> mental speculators, can realize only the effulgence or the bodily luster of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and <i>yogīs</i> can realize only the partial representation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, a <i>bhakta</i> not only realizes Him as He is, but he also associates with the Personality of Godhead face to face."

"In the <i>Brahma-saṁhitā</i> it is stated that the Lord is one Absolute, but He has <i>ananta,</i> or innumerable, forms. <i>Advaitam acyutam anādim ananta-rūpam.</i> The Lord is the original form, but still he has multi-forms. Those multi-forms are manifested by Him transcendentally, according to the tastes of His multi-devotees. It is understood that once Hanumān, the great devotee of Lord Rāmacandra, said that he knew that Nārāyaṇa, the husband of Lakṣmī, and Rāma, the husband of Sītā, are one and the same, and that there is no difference between Lakṣmī and Sītā, but as for himself, he liked the form of Lord Rāma. In a similar way, some devotees worship the original form of Kṛṣṇa. When we say Kṛṣṇa we refer to all forms of the Lord—not only Kṛṣṇa, but Rāma, Nṛsiṁha, Varāha, Nārāyaṇa, etc. The varieties of transcendental forms exist simultaneously. That is also stated in the <i>Brahma-saṁhitā:</i> <i>rāmādi-mūrtiṣu.</i> <i>.. nānāvatāram.</i> He already exists in multi-forms, but none of the forms are material. Śrīdhara Svāmī has commented that <i>arūpiṇaḥ,</i> without form, means without material form. The Lord has form, otherwise how can it be stated here, <i>tāny eva te 'bhirūpāṇi rūpāṇi bhagavaṁs tava:</i> \"You have Your forms, but they are not material. Materially You have no form, but spiritually, transcendentally, You have multi-forms\"? Māyāvādī philosophers cannot understand these transcendental forms of the Lord, and, being disappointed, they say that the Supreme Lord is impersonal. But that is not a fact; whenever there is form there is a person. Many times in many Vedic literatures the Lord is described as <i>puruṣa,</i> which means the original form, the original enjoyer. The conclusion is that the Lord has no material form, and yet, according to the liking of different grades of devotees, He simultaneously exists in multi-forms, such as Rāma, Nṛsiṁha, Varāha, Nārāyaṇa and Mukunda. There, are, many thousands and thousands of forms, but they are all <i>viṣṇu-tattva,</i> Kṛṣṇa."

"Actually, those who are searching after the Absolute Truth must take shelter of the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and worship Him. In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> Lord Kṛṣṇa advised Arjuna many times to surrender unto Him, especially at the end of the Ninth Chapter—<i>man-manā bhava mad-bhaktaḥ:</i> \"If you want to be perfect, just always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me, and offer your obeisances to Me. In this way you will understand Me, the Personality of Godhead, and ultimately you will come back to Me, back to Godhead, back home.\" Why is it so? The Lord is always full in six opulences, as mentioned herein: wealth, renunciation, fame, knowledge, strength and beauty. The word <i>pūrtam</i> means in full. No one can claim that all wealth belongs to him, but Kṛṣṇa can claim it, since He has full wealth. Similarly, He is full in knowledge, renunciation, strength and beauty. He is full in everything, and no one can surpass Him. Another one of Kṛṣṇa's names is <i>asamaurdhva,</i> which means that no one is equal to or greater than Him."

"The six opulences—wealth, strength, fame, beauty, knowledge and renunciation—are indicated here by Kardama Muni, who addresses Kapila Muni, his son, as <i>param.</i> The word <i>param</i> is used in the beginning of <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam,</i> in the phrase <i>paraṁ satyam,</i> to refer to the <i>summum bonum</i> or the Supreme Personality of Godhead. <i>Param</i> is explained further by the next word, <i>pradhānam,</i> which means the chief, the origin, the source of everything—<i>sarva-kāraṇa-kāraṇam</i>—the cause of all causes. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is not formless; He is <i>puruṣam,</i> or the enjoyer, the original person. He is the time element and is all-cognizant. He knows everything—past, present and future—as confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā.</i> The Lord says, \"I know everything, present, past and future, in every corner of the universe.\" The material world, which is moving under the spell of the three modes of nature, is also a manifestation of His energy. <i>Parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate:</i> everything that we see is an interaction of His energies (<i>Śvet. Up.</i> 6.8). <i>Parasya brahmaṇaḥ śaktis tathedam akhilaṁ jagat.</i> This is the version of the <i>Viṣṇu Purāṇa.</i> We can understand that whatever we see is an interaction of the three modes of material nature, but actually it is all an interaction of the Lord's energy. <i>Loka-pālam:</i> He is actually the maintainer of all living entities. <i>Nityo nityānām:</i> He is the chief of all living entities; He is one, but He maintains many, many living entities. God maintains all other living entities, but no one can maintain God. That is His <i>svacchanda-śakti;</i> He is not dependent on others. Someone may call himself independent, but he is still dependent on someone higher. The Personality of Godhead, however, is absolute; there is no one higher than or equal to Him.",
|
||||
"Kapila Muni appeared as the son of Kardama Muni, but because He is an incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kardama Muni offered his respectful obeisances unto Him with full surrender. Another word in this verse is very important: <i>ātmānubhūtyānugata-prapañcam</i>. The Lord descends either as Kapila or Rāma, Nṛsiṁha or Varāha, and whatever forms He assumes in the material world are all manifestations of His own personal internal energy. They are never the forms of the material energy. The ordinary living entities who are manifested in this material world have bodies created by the material energy, but when Kṛṣṇa or any one of His expansions or parts of the expansions descends on this material world, although He appears to have a material body, His body is not material. He always has a transcendental body. But fools and rascals, who are called <i>mūḍhas,</i> consider Him one of them, and therefore they deride Him. They refuse to accept Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme Personality of Godhead because they cannot understand Him. In <i>Bhagavad-gītā </i>Kṛṣṇa says, <i>avajānanti māṁ mūḍhāḥ: </i>\"Those who are rascals and fools deride Me.\" When God descends in a form, this does not mean that He assumes His form with the help of the material energy. He manifests His spiritual form as He exists in His spiritual kingdom."

"Actually, <i>sannyāsa,</i> or renunciation of material household life, necessitates complete absorption in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and immersion in the Self. One does not take <i>sannyāsa,</i> freedom from family responsibility in the renounced order of life, to make another family or to create an embarrassing transcendental fraud in the name of <i>sannyāsa.</i> The <i>sannyāsī's</i> business is not to become proprietor of so many things and amass money from the innocent public. A <i>sannyāsī</i> is proud that he is always thinking of Kṛṣṇa within himself. Of course, there are two kinds of devotees of the Lord. One is called <i>goṣṭhyānandī,</i> which means those who are preachers and have many followers for preaching the glories of the Lord and who live amongst those many, many followers just to organize missionary activities. Other devotees are <i>ātmānandī,</i> or self-satisfied, and do not take the risk of preaching work. They remain, therefore, alone with God. In this classification was Kardama Muni. He wanted to be free from all anxieties and remain alone within his heart with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. <i>Parivrāja</i> means an itinerant mendicant. A mendicant <i>sannyāsī</i> should not live anywhere for more than three days. He must be always moving because his duty is to move from door to door and enlighten people about Kṛṣṇa consciousness."

"Kardama Muni was to leave his family life to completely engage in the service of the Lord. But since he knew that the Lord Himself, as Kapila, had taken birth in his home as his own son, why was he preparing to leave home to search out self-realization or God realization? God Himself was present in his home—why should he leave home? Such a question may certainly arise. But here it is said that whatever is spoken in the <i>Vedas</i> and whatever is practiced in accordance with the injunctions of the <i>Vedas</i> is to be accepted as authoritative in society. Vedic authority says that a householder must leave home after his fiftieth year. <i>Pañcāśordhvaṁ vanaṁ </i>vrajet<i>:</i> one must leave his family life and enter the forest after the age of fifty. This is an authoritative statement of the <i>Vedas,</i> based on the division of social life into four departments of activity—<i>brahmacarya, gṛhastha, vānaprastha</i> and <i>sannyāsa.</i>",
|
||||
"Kardama Muni practiced <i>yoga</i> very rigidly as a <i>brahmacārī</i> before his marriage, and he became so powerful and attained so much mystic power that his father, Brahmā, ordered him to marry and beget children as a householder. Kardama did that also; he begot nine good daughters and one son, Kapila Muni, and thus his householder duty was also performed nicely, and now his duty was to leave. Even though he had the Supreme Personality of Godhead as his son, he had to respect the authority of the <i>Vedas.</i> This is a very important lesson. Even if one has God in his home as his son, he should still follow the Vedic injunctions. It is stated, <i>mahājano yena gataḥ sa panthāḥ:</i> one should traverse the path which is followed by great personalities.",
|
||||
"Kardama Muni's example is very instructive, for in spite of having the Supreme Personality of Godhead as his son, he left home just to obey the authority of the Vedic injunction. Kardama Muni states here the main purpose of his leaving home: while traveling all over the world as a mendicant, he would always remember the Supreme Personality of Godhead within his heart and thereby be freed from all the anxieties of material existence. In this age of Kali-yuga <i>sannyāsa</i> is prohibited because persons in this age are all <i>śūdras</i> and cannot follow the rules and regulations of <i>sannyāsa</i> life. It is very commonly found that so-called <i>sannyāsīs</i> are addicted to nonsense—even to having private relationships with women. This is the abominable situation in this age. Although they dress themselves as <i>sannyāsīs,</i> they still cannot free themselves from the four principles of sinful life, namely illicit sex life, meat eating, intoxication and gambling. Since they are not freed from these four principles, they are cheating the public by posing as <i>svāmīs.</i>",
|
||||
"In Kali-yuga the injunction is that no one should accept <i>sannyāsa.</i> Of course, those who actually follow the rules and regulations must take <i>sannyāsa.</i> Generally, however, people are unable to accept <i>sannyāsa</i> life, and therefore Caitanya Mahāprabhu stressed, <i>kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva nāsty eva gatir anyathā.</i> In this age there is no other alternative, no other alternative, no other alternative than to chant the holy name of the Lord, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare. The main purpose of <i>sannyāsa</i> life is to be in constant companionship with the Supreme Lord, either by thinking of Him within the heart or hearing of Him through aural reception. In this age, hearing is more important than thinking because one's thinking may be disturbed by mental agitation, but if one concentrates on hearing, he will be forced to associate with the sound vibration of Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa and the sound vibration Kṛṣṇa are nondifferent, so if one loudly vibrates Hare Kṛṣṇa, he will be able to think of Kṛṣṇa immediately. This process of chanting is the best process of self-realization in this age; therefore Lord Caitanya preached it so nicely for the benefit of all humanity."

"Here the word <i>durāśayāt</i> is very significant. <i>Dur</i> means trouble or <i>duḥkha</i>, miseries. <i>Āśayāt</i> means from the shelter. We conditioned souls have taken shelter of the material body, which is full of troubles and miseries. Foolish people cannot understand the situation, and this is called ignorance, illusion, or the spell of <i>māyā.</i> Human society should very seriously understand that the body itself is the source of all miserable life. Modern civilization is supposed to be making advancement in scientific knowledge, but what is this scientific knowledge? It is based on bodily comforts only, without knowledge that however comfortably one maintains his body, the body is destructible. As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> <i>antavanta ime dehāḥ:</i> these bodies are destined to be destroyed. <i>Nityasyoktāḥ śarīriṇaḥ</i> refers to the living soul or the living spark which is within the body. That soul is eternal, but the body is not eternal. For our activity we must have a body; without a body, without sense organs, there is no activity. But people are not inquiring whether it is possible to have an eternal body. Actually they aspire for an eternal body because even though they engage in sense enjoyment, that sense enjoyment is not eternal. They are therefore in want of something which they can enjoy eternally, but they do not understand how to attain that perfection. <i>Sāṅkhya</i> philosophy, therefore, as stated herein by Kapiladeva, is <i>tattvānām.</i> The <i>sāṅkhya </i>philosophy system is designed to afford understanding of the real truth. What is that real truth? The real truth is knowledge of how to get out of the material body, which is the source of all trouble. Lord Kapila's incarnation or descent is especially meant for this purpose. That is clearly stated here."

"It is not true that <i>sāṅkhya</i> philosophy is a new system of philosophy introduced by Kapila as material philosophers introduce new kinds of mental speculative thought to supersede that of another philosopher. On the material platform everyone, especially the mental speculator, tries to be more prominent than others. The field of activity of the speculators is the mind; there is no limit to the different ways in which one can agitate the mind. The mind can be unlimitedly agitated, and thus one can put forward an unlimited number of theories. <i>Sāṅkhya</i> philosophy is not like that; it is not mental speculation. It is factual, but at the time of Kapila it was lost.",
|
||||
"In due course of time, a particular type of knowledge may be lost or may be covered for the time being; that is the nature of this material world. A similar statement was made by Lord Kṛṣṇa in <i>Bhagavad-gītā.</i> <i>Sa kāleneha mahatā yogo naṣṭaḥ:</i> \"In course of time the <i>yoga</i> system as stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> was lost.\" It was coming in <i>paramparā,</i> in disciplic succession, but due to the passage of time it was lost. The time factor is so pressing that in the course of time everything within this material world is spoiled or lost. The <i>yoga</i> system of <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> was lost before the meeting of Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna. Therefore Kṛṣṇa again enunciated the same ancient <i>yoga</i> system to Arjuna, who could actually understand <i>Bhagavad-gītā.</i> Similarly, Kapila also said that the system of <i>sāṅkhya</i> philosophy was not exactly being introduced by Him; it was already current, but in course of time it was mysteriously lost, and therefore He appeared to reintroduce it. That is the purpose of the incarnation of Godhead. <i>Yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati bhārata.</i> <i>Dharma</i> means the real occupation of the living entity. When there is a discrepancy in the eternal occupation of the living entity, the Lord comes and introduces the real occupation of life. Any so-called religious system that is not in the line of devotional service is called <i>adharma-saṁsthāpana.</i> When people forget their eternal relationship with God and engage in something other than devotional service, that is called irreligion. How one can get out of the miserable condition of material life is stated in <i>sāṅkhya</i> philosophy, and the Lord Himself is explaining this sublime system."

"The purpose of <i>sāṅkhya</i> philosophy is stated herein. If anyone wants real eternal life, he has to engage himself in devotional service or Kṛṣṇa consciousness. To become free from birth and death is not an easy task. Birth and death are natural to this material body. <i>Sudurjayam</i> means very, very difficult to overcome. The modern so-called scientists have no sufficient means to understand the process of victory over birth and death. Therefore, they set aside the question of birth and death; they do not consider it. They simply engage in the problems of the material body, which is transient and sure to end.",
|
||||
"Actually, human life is meant for conquering the insurmountable process of birth and death. That can be done as stated here. <i>Māṁ bhaja:</i> one must engage in the devotional service of the Lord. In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> also the Lord says, <i>man-manā bhava mad-bhaktaḥ:</i> \"Just become My devotee. Just worship Me.\" But foolish so-called scholars say that it is not Kṛṣṇa whom we must worship and to whom we must surrender; it is something else. Without Kṛṣṇa's mercy, therefore, no one can understand the <i>sāṅkhya</i> philosophy or any philosophy which is especially meant for liberation. Vedic knowledge confirms that one becomes entangled in this material life because of ignorance, and one can become free from material embarrassment by becoming situated in factual knowledge. <i>Sāṅkhya</i> means that factual knowledge by which one can get out of the material entanglement."

"People are very anxious to understand the Absolute Truth in various ways, especially by experiencing the <i>brahmajyoti,</i> or Brahman effulgence, by meditation and by mental speculation. But Kapiladeva uses the word <i>mām</i> to emphasize that the Personality of Godhead is the ultimate feature of the Absolute Truth. In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> the Personality of Godhead always says <i>mām,</i> \"unto Me,\" but the rascals misinterpret the clear meaning. <i>Mām</i> is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If one can see the Supreme Personality of Godhead as He appears in different incarnations and understand that He has not assumed a material body but is present in His own eternal, spiritual form, then he can understand the nature of the Personality of Godhead. Since the less intelligent cannot understand this point, it is stressed everywhere again and again. Simply by seeing the form of the Lord as He presents Himself by His own internal potency as Kṛṣṇa or Rāma or Kapila, one can directly see the <i>brahmajyoti</i> because the <i>brahmajyoti</i> is no more than the effulgence of His bodily luster. Since the sunshine is the luster of the sun planet, by seeing the sun one automatically sees the sunshine; similarly, by seeing the Supreme Personality of Godhead one simultaneously sees and experiences the Paramātmā feature as well as the impersonal Brahman feature of the Supreme.",
|
||||
"The <i>Bhāgavatam</i> has already enunciated that the Absolute Truth is present in three features—in the beginning as the impersonal Brahman, in the next stage as the Paramātmā in everyone's heart, and, at last, as the ultimate realization of the Absolute Truth, Bhagavān, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. One who sees the Supreme Person can automatically realize the other features, namely the Paramātmā and Brahman features of the Lord. The words used here are <i>viśoko 'bhayam ṛcchasi.</i> Simply by seeing the Personality of Godhead one realizes everything, and the result is that he becomes situated on the platform where there is no lamentation and no fear. This can be attained simply by devotional service to the Personality of Godhead."

"Kardama Muni was anxious about his good wife, Devahūti, while leaving home, and so the worthy son promised that not only would Kardama Muni be freed from the material entanglement, but Devahūti would also be freed by receiving instruction from her son. A very good example is set here: the husband goes away, taking the <i>sannyāsa</i> order for self-realization, but his representative, the son, who is equally educated, remains at home to deliver the mother. A <i>sannyāsī</i> is not supposed to take his wife with him. At the <i>vānaprastha</i> stage of retired life, or the stage midway between householder life and renounced life, one may keep his wife as an assistant without sex relations, but in the <i>sannyāsa</i> order of life one cannot keep his wife with him. Otherwise, a person like Kardama Muni could have kept his wife with him, and there would have been no hindrance to his prosecution of self-realization.",

"Kardama Muni followed the Vedic injunction that no one in <i>sannyāsa</i> life can have any kind of relationship with women. But what is the position of a woman who is left by her husband? She is entrusted to the son, and the son promises that he will deliver his mother from entanglement. A woman is not supposed to take <i>sannyāsa.</i> So-called spiritual societies concocted in modern times give <i>sannyāsa</i> even to women, although there is no sanction in the Vedic literature for a woman's accepting <i>sannyāsa.</i> Otherwise, if it were sanctioned, Kardama Muni could have taken his wife and given her <i>sannyāsa.</i> The woman must remain at home. She has only three stages of life: dependency on the father in childhood, dependency on the husband in youth, and, in old age, dependency on the grown-up son, such as Kapila. In old age the progress of women depends on the grown-up son. The ideal son, Kapila Muni, is assuring His father of the deliverance of His mother so that His father may go peacefully without anxiety for his good wife."

"Going to the forest is compulsory for everyone. It is not a mental excursion upon which one person goes and another does not. Everyone should go to the forest at least as a <i>vānaprastha.</i> Forest-going means to take one hundred percent shelter of the Supreme Lord, as explained by Prahlāda Mahārāja in his talks with his father (<i>Bhāg. </i>7.5.5). <i>Sadā samudvigna-dhiyām</i>. People who have accepted a temporary material body are always full of anxieties. One should not, therefore, be very much affected by this material body, but should try to be freed. The preliminary process to become freed is to go to the forest or give up family relationships and exclusively engage in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is the purpose of going to the forest. Otherwise, the forest is only a place of monkeys and wild animals. To go to the forest does not mean to become a monkey or a ferocious animal. It means to accept exclusively the shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and engage oneself in full service. One does not actually have to go to the forest. At the present moment this is not at all advisable for a man who has spent his life all along in big cities. As explained by Prahlāda Mahārāja (<i>hitvātma-pātaṁ gṛham andha-kūpam</i>), one should not remain always engaged in the responsibilities of family life because family life without Kṛṣṇa consciousness is just like a blind well. Alone in a field, if one falls into a blind well and no one is there to save him, he may cry for years, and no one will see or hear where the crying is coming from. Death is sure. Similarly, those who are forgetful of their eternal relationship with the Supreme Lord are in the blind well of family life; their position is very ominous. Prahlāda Mahārāja advised that one should give up this well somehow or other and take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness and thus be freed from material entanglement, which is full of anxieties."

He does not have to cook or offer fire for sacrifice because he is always engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness; therefore he has already accomplished all ritualistic performances of religion. <i>Aniketanaḥ</i> means without lodging. He should not have his own house, but should depend completely on the Supreme Lord for his food and lodging. He should travel.",
|
||||
"<i>Mauna</i> means silence. Unless one becomes silent, he cannot think completely about the pastimes and activities of the Lord. It is not that because one is a fool and cannot speak nicely he therefore takes the vow of <i>mauna.</i> Rather, one becomes silent so that people will not disturb him. It is said by Cāṇakya Paṇḍita that a rascal appears very intelligent as long as he does not speak. But speaking is the test. The so-called silence of a silent impersonalist <i>svāmī</i> indicates that he has nothing to say; he simply wants to beg. But the silence adopted by Kardama Muni is not like that. He became silent for relief from nonsensical talk. One is called a <i>muni</i> when he remains grave and does not talk nonsense. Mahārāja Ambarīṣa has set a very good example; whenever he spoke, he spoke about the pastimes of the Lord. <i>Mauna</i> necessitates refraining from nonsensical talking and engaging the talking facility in the pastimes of the Lord. In that way one can chant and hear about the Lord in order to perfect his life. <i>Vratam</i> means that one should take a vow as explained in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> <i>amānitvam adambhitvam,</i> without hankering for personal respect and without being proud of one's material position. <i>Ahiṁsā</i> means not being violent. There are eighteen processes for attaining knowledge and perfection, and, by his vow, Kardama Muni adopted all the principles of self-realization."

"Whenever there is <i>bhakti,</i> there must be three things present—the devotee, the devotion and the Lord. Without these three, <i>bhakta, bhakti</i> and <i>bhagavān</i>, there is no meaning to the word <i>bhakti.</i> Kardama Muni fixed his mind on the Supreme Brahman and realized Him through <i>bhakti,</i> or devotional service. This indicates that he fixed his mind on the personal feature of the Lord because <i>bhakti</i> cannot be executed unless one has realization of the personal feature of the Absolute Truth. <i>Guṇāvabhāse:</i> He is beyond the three modes of material nature, but it is due to Him that the three modes of material nature are manifested. In other words, although the material energy is an emanation of the Supreme Lord, He is not affected, as we are, by the modes of material nature. We are conditioned souls, but He is not affected, although the material nature has emanated from Him. He is the supreme living entity and is never affected by <i>māyā,</i> but we are subordinate, minute living entities, prone to be affected by the limitations of <i>māyā.</i> If he is in constant contact with the Supreme Lord by devotional service, the conditioned living entity also becomes freed from the infection of <i>māyā.</i> This is confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā:</i> <i>sa guṇān samatītyaitān.</i> A person engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness is at once liberated from the influence of the three modes of material nature. In other words, once the conditioned soul engages himself in devotional service, he also becomes liberated like the Lord."

The ocean is filled by many thousands of rivers, and clouds evaporate millions of tons of its water, yet the ocean is the same unagitated ocean. The laws of nature may work, but if one is fixed in devotional service at the lotus feet of the Lord, he is not agitated because he is introspective. He does not look outside to material nature, but he looks into the spiritual nature of his existence; with a sober mind, he simply engages in the service of the Lord. Thus he realizes his own self without false identification with matter and without affection for material possessions. Such a great devotee is never in trouble with others because he sees everyone from the platform of spiritual understanding; he sees himself and others in the right perspective."

Self-realization does not mean that because the Supreme Soul and the individual soul are both souls they are equal in every respect. The individual soul is prone to be conditioned, and the Supreme Soul is never conditioned. When the conditioned soul realizes that he is subordinate to the Supreme Soul, that is called <i>labdhātmā,</i> self-realization, or <i>mukta-bandhana,</i> freedom from material contamination. Material contamination continues as long as one thinks that he is as good as the Supreme Lord or is equal with Him. This condition is the last snare of <i>māyā.</i> <i>Māyā</i> always influences the conditioned soul. Even after much meditation and speculation, if one continues to think himself one with the Supreme Lord, it is to be understood that he is still in the last snares of the spell of <i>māyā.</i>",

I may forget, but He awards me suffering or enjoyment for the misdeeds or good deeds of my past life. One should not think that he is freed from reaction because he has forgotten the actions of his past life. Reactions will take place, and what kind of reactions there will be is judged by the Supersoul, the witness."

"That everyone is existing on the Supreme Personality of Godhead does not mean that everyone is also Godhead. This is also explained in <i>Bhagavad-gītā:</i> everything is resting on Him, the Supreme Lord, but that does not mean that the Supreme Lord is also everywhere. This mysterious position has to be understood by highly advanced devotees. There are three kinds of devotees—the neophyte devotee, the intermediate devotee and the advanced devotee. The neophyte devotee does not understand the techniques of devotional science, but simply offers devotional service to the Deity in the temple; the intermediate devotee understands who God is, who is a devotee, who is a nondevotee and who is innocent, and he deals with such persons differently. But a person who sees that the Lord is sitting as Paramātmā in everyone's heart and that everything is depending or existing on the transcendental energy of the Supreme Lord is in the highest devotional position."
