"There are two kinds of householders. One is called the <i>gṛhamedhī,</i> and the other is called the <i>gṛhastha.</i> The objective of the <i>gṛhamedhī</i> is sense gratification, and the objective of the <i>gṛhastha</i> is self-realization. Here the Lord is speaking about the <i>gṛhamedhī,</i> or the person who wants to remain in this material world. His activity is to enjoy material benefits by performing religious rituals for economic development and thereby ultimately satisfy the senses. He does not want anything more. Such a person works very hard throughout his life to become very rich and eat very nicely and drink. By giving some charity for pious activity he can go to a higher planetary atmosphere in the heavenly planets in his next life, but he does not want to stop the repetition of birth and death and finish with the concomitant miserable factors of material existence. Such a person is called a <i>gṛhamedhī.</i>",
|
||||
"A <i>gṛhastha</i> is a person who lives with family, wife, children and relatives but has no attachment for them. He prefers to live in family life rather than as a mendicant or <i>sannyāsī,</i> but his chief aim is to achieve self-realization or to come to the standard of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Here, however, Lord Kapiladeva is speaking about the <i>gṛhamedhīs,</i> who have made their aim the materialistically prosperous life, which they achieve by sacrificial ceremonies, by charities and by good work. They are posted in good positions, and since they know that they are using up their assets of pious activities, they again and again perform activities of sense gratification. It is said by Prahlāda Mahārāja, <i>punaḥ punaś carvita-carvaṇānām:</i> they prefer to chew the already chewed. Again and again they experience the material pangs, even if they are rich and prosperous, but they do not want to give up this kind of life."

"In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> it is said that persons who worship demigods have lost their intelligence: <i>kāmais tais tair hṛta jñānāḥ </i>(Bg. 7.20)<i>.</i> They are much attracted to sense gratification, and therefore they worship the demigods. It is, of course, recommended in the Vedic scriptures that if one wants money, health or education, then he should worship the various demigods. A materialistic person has manifold demands, and thus there are manifold demigods to satisfy his senses. The <i>gṛhamedhīs,</i> who want to continue a prosperous materialistic way of life, generally worship the demigods or the forefathers by offering <i>piṇḍa,</i> or respectful oblations. Such persons are bereft of Kṛṣṇa consciousness and are not interested in devotional service to the Lord. This kind of so-called pious and religious man is the result of impersonalism. The impersonalists maintain that the Supreme Absolute Truth has no form and that one can imagine any form he likes for his benefit and worship in that way. Therefore the <i>gṛhamedhīs</i> or materialistic men say that they can worship any form of a demigod as worship of the Supreme Lord. Especially amongst the Hindus, those who are meat-eaters prefer to worship goddess Kālī because it is prescribed that one can sacrifice a goat before that goddess. They maintain that whether one worships the goddess Kālī, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead Viṣṇu, or any demigod, the destination is the same. This is first-class rascaldom, and such people are misled. But they prefer this philosophy. <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> does not accept such rascaldom, and it is clearly stated that such methods are meant for persons who have lost their intelligence. The same judgment is confirmed here, and the word <i>kāma-mūḍha,</i> meaning one who has lost his sense or is infatuated by the lust of attraction for sense gratification, is used. <i>Kāma-mūḍhas</i> are bereft of Kṛṣṇa consciousness and devotional service and are infatuated by a strong desire for sense gratification. The worshipers of demigods are condemned both in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> and in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.</i>"

"The moon is considered one of the planets of the heavenly kingdom. One can be promoted to this planet by executing different sacrifices recommended in the Vedic literature, such as pious activities in worshiping the demigods and forefathers with rigidity and vows. But one cannot remain there for a very long time. Life on the moon is said to last ten thousand years according to the calculation of the demigods. The demigods' time is calculated in such a way that one day (12 hours) is equal to six months on this planet. It is not possible to reach the moon by any material vehicle like a sputnik, but persons who are attracted by material enjoyment can go to the moon by pious activities. In spite of being promoted to the moon, however, one has to come back to this earth again when the merits of his works in sacrifice are finished. This is also confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā, </i>Ninth Chapter: <i>te taṁ bhuktvā svarga-lokaṁ viśālaṁ kṣīṇe puṇye martya-lokaṁ viśanti </i>(Bg. 9.21)<i>.</i>"

"The materially attached are very eager to promote themselves to the heavenly planets such as the moon. There are many heavenly planets to which they aspire just to achieve more and more material happiness by getting a long duration of life and the paraphernalia for sense enjoyment. But the attached persons do not know that even if one goes to the highest planet, Brahmaloka, destruction exists there also. In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> the Lord says that one can even go to the Brahmaloka, but still he will find the pangs of birth, death, disease and old age. Only by approaching the Lord's abode, the Vaikuṇṭhaloka, does one not take birth again in this material world. The <i>gṛhamedhīs</i> or materialistic persons, however, do not like to use this advantage. They would prefer to transmigrate perpetually from one body to another, or from one planet to another. They do not want eternal, blissful life in knowledge in the kingdom of God.",
|

"There are two kinds of dissolutions. One dissolution takes place at the end of the life of Brahmā. At that time all the planetary systems, including the heavenly systems, are dissolved in water and enter into the body of Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, who lies on the Garbhodaka Ocean on the bed of serpents, called Śeṣa. In the other dissolution, which occurs at the end of Brahmā's day, all the lower planetary systems are destroyed. When Lord Brahmā rises after his night, these lower planetary systems are again created. The statement in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> that persons who worship the demigods have lost their intelligence is confirmed in this verse. These less intelligent persons do not know that even if they are promoted to the heavenly planets, at the time of dissolution they themselves, the demigods and all their planets will be annihilated. They have no information that eternal, blissful life can be attained."

"The first-class example of this type of man is Arjuna. Arjuna was a <i>kṣatriya,</i> and his occupational duty was to fight. Generally, kings fight to extend their kingdoms, which they rule for sense gratification. But as far as Arjuna is concerned, he declined to fight for his own sense gratification. He said that although he could get a kingdom by fighting with his relatives, he did not want to fight with them. But when he was ordered by Kṛṣṇa and convinced by the teachings of <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> that his duty was to satisfy Kṛṣṇa, then he fought. Thus he fought not for his sense gratification, but for the satisfaction of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.",
|
||||
"Persons who work at their prescribed duties, not for sense gratification but for gratification of the Supreme Lord, are called <i>niḥsaṅga,</i> freed from the influence of the modes of material nature. <i>Nyasta-karmāṇaḥ</i> indicates that the results of their activities are given to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such persons appear to be acting on the platform of their respective duties, but such activities are not performed for personal sense gratification; rather, they are performed for the Supreme Person. Such devotees are called <i>praśāntāḥ,</i> which means completely satisfied. <i>Śuddha-cetasaḥ</i> means Kṛṣṇa conscious; their consciousness has become purified. In unpurified consciousness one thinks of himself as the Lord of the universe, but in purified consciousness one thinks himself the eternal servant of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Putting oneself in that position of eternal servitorship to the Supreme Lord and working for Him perpetually, one actually becomes completely satisfied. As long as one works for his personal sense gratification, he will always be full of anxiety. That is the difference between ordinary consciousness and Kṛṣṇa consciousness."

One is called <i>pravṛtti-dharma,</i> which means the religious activities performed by the <i>gṛhamedhīs</i> for elevation to higher planets or for economic prosperity, the final aim of which is sense gratification. Every one of us who has come to this material world has the sense of overlordship. This is called <i>pravṛtti.</i> But the opposite type of religious performance, which is called <i>nivṛtti,</i> is to act for the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Engaged in devotional service in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, one has no proprietorship claim, nor is one situated in the false egoism of thinking that he is God or the master. He always thinks himself the servant. That is the process of purifying consciousness. With pure consciousness only can one enter into the kingdom of God. Materialistic persons, in their elevated condition, can enter any one of the planets within this material world, but all are subjected to dissolution over and over again."

It is also recommended here that by traversing the illuminated path one can be freed from the contamination of the material modes of nature; by that path one can enter into the kingdom where the completely perfect Personality of Godhead resides. The words <i>puruṣaṁ viśvato-mukham</i> mean the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is all-perfect. All living entities other than the Supreme Personality of Godhead are very small, although they may be big by our calculation. Everyone is infinitesimal, and therefore in the <i>Vedas</i> the Supreme Lord is called the Supreme Eternal amongst all eternals. He is the proprietor of the material and spiritual worlds and the supreme cause of manifestation. Material nature is only the ingredient because actually the manifestation is caused by His energy. The material energy is also His energy; just as the combination of father and mother is the cause of childbirth, so the combination of the material energy and the glance of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the cause of the manifestation of the material world. The efficient cause, therefore, is not matter, but the Lord Himself."

It is clear that as long as a living entity is a worshiper of a particular demigod, his consciousness is absorbed in thoughts of that demigod, and therefore he cannot get direct liberation, or entrance into the kingdom of God, nor can he merge into the impersonal effulgence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

The oneness of the Māyāvādī philosophers and the oneness of Vaiṣṇava philosophers are different.

Although the relationship is servant and master, both the servant and the served stand on the same platform. That is oneness. Lord Kapila advised His mother that she did not need any indirect process. She was already situated in that direct process because the Supreme Lord had taken birth as her son. Actually, she did not need any further instruction because she was already in the perfectional stage. Kapiladeva advised her to continue in the same way. He therefore addressed His mother as <i>bhāmini</i> to indicate that she was already thinking of the Lord as her son. Devahūti is advised by Lord Kapila to take directly to devotional service, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, because without that consciousness one cannot become liberated from the clutches of <i>māyā.</i>"

When the interaction of the three modes of material nature begins, Brahmā, who is the creator of this cosmic manifestation and who is full of Vedic knowledge, and the great sages, who are the authors of the spiritual path and the yoga system, come back under the influence of the time factor. Although they are liberated by their nonfruitive activities and they attain the first incarnation of the puruṣa, still, at the time of creation, they come back in exactly the same forms and positions as they had previously.</b>",
|
||||
"purport": [
|
||||
"That Brahmā becomes liberated is known to everyone, but he cannot liberate his devotees. Demigods like Brahmā and Lord Śiva cannot give liberation to any living entity. As it is confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> only one who surrenders unto Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, can be liberated from the clutches of <i>māyā.</i> Brahmā is called here <i>ādyaḥ sthira-carāṇām.</i> He is the original, first-created living entity, and after his own birth he creates the entire cosmic manifestation. He was fully instructed in the matter of creation by the Supreme Lord. Here he is called <i>veda-garbha,</i> which means that he knows the complete purpose of the <i>Vedas.</i> He is always accompanied by such great personalities as Marīci, Kaśyapa and the seven sages, as well as by great mystic <i>yogīs,</i> the Kumāras and many other spiritually advanced living entities, but he has his own interest, separate from the Lord's. <i>Bheda-dṛṣṭyā</i> means that Brahmā sometimes thinks that he is independent of the Supreme Lord, or he thinks of himself as one of the three equally independent incarnations. Brahmā is entrusted with creation, Viṣṇu maintains, and Rudra, Lord Śiva, destroys. The three of them are understood to be incarnations of the Supreme Lord in charge of the three different material modes of nature, but none of them is independent of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Here the word <i>bheda-dṛṣṭyā</i> occurs because Brahmā has a slight inclination to think that he is as independent as Rudra. Sometimes Brahmā thinks that he is independent of the Supreme Lord, and the worshiper also thinks that he is independent. For this reason, after the destruction of this material world, when there is again creation by the interaction of the material modes of nature, Brahmā comes back. Although Brahmā reaches the Supreme Personality of Godhead as the first <i>puruṣa</i> incarnation, Mahā-Viṣṇu, who is full with transcendental qualities, still he cannot stay in the spiritual world.",
|
||||
"The specific significance of his coming back may be noted. Brahmā and the great <i>ṛṣis</i> and the great master of <i>yoga</i> (Śiva) are not ordinary living entities; they are very powerful and have all the perfections of mystic <i>yoga.</i> But still they have an inclination to try to become one with the Supreme, and therefore they have to come back. In the <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> it is accepted that as long as one thinks that he is equal with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he is not completely purified or knowledgeable. In spite of going up to the first <i>puruṣa-avatāra,</i> Mahā-Viṣṇu, after the dissolution of this material creation, such personalities again fall down or come back to the material creation.",
|
||||
"It is a great falldown on the part of the impersonalists to think that the Supreme Lord appears within a material body and that one should therefore not meditate upon the form of the Supreme but should meditate instead on the formless. For this particular mistake, even the great mystic <i>yogīs</i> or great stalwart transcendentalists also come back again when there is creation. All living entities other than the impersonalists and monists can directly take to devotional service in full Kṛṣṇa consciousness and become liberated by developing transcendental loving service for the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such devotional service develops in the degrees of thinking of the Supreme Lord as master, as friend, as son, and, at last, as lover. These distinctions in transcendental variegatedness must always be present."

They have to observe certain rules and regulations in their daily lives to be elevated to the heavenly planets. It is stated in this verse that such persons cannot be liberated at any time. Those who worship demigods with the consciousness that each and every demigod is a separate God cannot be elevated to the spiritual world, what to speak of persons who are simply attached to duties for the upliftment of their material condition."

"According to Vedic thought, there are four elevating principles, namely religiosity, economic development, sense gratification and liberation. Persons who are simply interested in material enjoyment make plans to execute prescribed duties. They are interested in the three elevating processes of religious rituals, economic elevation and sense enjoyment. By developing their economic condition, they can enjoy material life. Materialistic persons, therefore, are interested in those elevating processes, which are called <i>trai-vargika.</i> <i>Trai</i> means three; <i>vargika</i> means elevating processes. Such materialistic persons are never attracted by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Rather, they are antagonistic towards Him.",
|

"The Supreme Personality of Godhead is here described as <i>hari-medhaḥ,</i> or He who can deliver one from the cycle of birth and death. Materialistic persons are never interested in hearing about the marvelous pastimes of the Lord. They think that they are fictions and stories and that the Supreme Godhead is also a man of material nature. They are not fit for advancing in devotional service or Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Such materialistic persons are interested in newspaper stories, novels and imaginary dramas. The factual activities of the Lord, such as Lord Kṛṣṇa's acting in the Battle of Kurukṣetra, or the activities of the Pāṇḍavas, or the Lord's activities in Vṛndāvana or Dvārakā, are related in the <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> and <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam,</i> which are full of the activities of the Lord. But materialistic persons who engage in elevating their position in the material world are not interested in such activities of the Lord. They may be interested in the activities of a great politician or a great rich man of this world, but they are not interested in the transcendental activities of the Supreme Lord."

These persons are condemned by the supreme order as much as a hog is condemned. The hog is interested in eating stool. If the hog is offered some nice preparation made of condensed milk or ghee, he won't like it; he would prefer obnoxious, bad-smelling stool, which he finds very relishable. Materialistic persons are considered to be condemned because they are interested in hellish activities and not in transcendental activities. The message of the Lord's activities is nectar, and besides that message, any information in which we may be interested is actually hellish."

"It is sometimes found that a person elevated to a very high position in government service falls down all of a sudden, and no one can check him. Similarly, after finishing their period of enjoyment, foolish persons who are very much interested in being elevated to the position of President in higher planets also fall down to this planet. The distinction between the elevated position of a devotee and that of an ordinary person attracted to fruitive activities is that when a devotee is elevated to the spiritual kingdom he never falls down, whereas an ordinary person falls, even if he is elevated to the highest planetary system, Brahmaloka. It is confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (<i>ābrahma-bhuvanāl lokāḥ</i>) that even if one is elevated to a higher planet he has to come down again. But Kṛṣṇa confirms in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i>, <i>mām upetya tu kaunteya punar janma na vidyate </i>(Bg. 8.16)<i>:</i> <i>\"Anyone</i> who attains My abode never comes back to this conditioned life of material existence.\""

"The word <i>parameṣṭhinā</i> is sometimes used in connection with Brahmā. <i>Parameṣṭhinā</i> means the supreme person. As Brahmā is the supreme person within this universe, similarly Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality in the spiritual world. Lord Kapiladeva advises His mother that she should take shelter of the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, because it is worthwhile. Taking shelter of demigods, even those in the highest positions, like Brahmā and Śiva, is not advised herein. One should take shelter of the Supreme Godhead.",
|
||||
"<i>Sarva-bhāvena</i> means \"in all-loving ecstasy.\" <i>Bhāva</i> is the preliminary stage of elevation before the attainment of pure love of Godhead. It is stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> <i>budhā bhāva-samanvitāḥ:</i> one who has attained the stage of <i>bhāva</i> can accept the lotus feet of Lord Kṛṣṇa as worshipable. This is also advised here by Lord Kapila to His mother. Also significant in this verse is the phrase <i>tad-guṇāśrayayā bhaktyā.</i> This means that discharging devotional service unto Kṛṣṇa is transcendental; it is not material activity. This is confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā:</i> those who engage in devotional service are accepted to be situated in the spiritual kingdom. <i>Brahma-bhūyāya kalpate: </i>they at once become situated in the transcendental kingdom.",
|
||||
"Devotional service in full Kṛṣṇa consciousness is the only means for attaining the highest perfection of life for the human being. This is recommended herein by Lord Kapila to His mother. <i>Bhakti</i> is therefore <i>nirguṇa,</i> free from all tinges of material qualities. Although the discharge of devotional service appears to be like material activities, it is never <i>saguṇa,</i> or contaminated by material qualities. <i>Tad-guṇāśrayayā</i> means that Lord Kṛṣṇa's transcendental qualities are so sublime that there is no need to divert one's attention to any other activities. His behavior with the devotees is so exalted that a devotee need not try to divert his attention to any other worship. It is said that the demoniac Pūtanā came to kill Kṛṣṇa by poisoning Him, but because Kṛṣṇa was pleased to suck her breast, she was given the same position as His mother. Devotees pray, therefore, that if a demon who wanted to kill Kṛṣṇa gets such an exalted position, why should they go to anyone other than Kṛṣṇa for their worshipful attachment? There are two kinds of religious activities: one for material advancement and the other for spiritual advancement. By taking shelter under the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, one is endowed with both kinds of prosperity, material and spiritual. Why then should one go to any demigod?"

"It is said by less intelligent men that <i>bhakti-yoga</i> or devotional service is meant for persons who are not advanced in transcendental knowledge and renunciation. But the fact is that if one engages in the devotional service of the Lord in full Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he does not have to attempt separately to practice detachment or to wait for an awakening of transcendental knowledge. It is said that one who engages unflinchingly in the devotional service of the Lord actually has all the good qualities of the demigods develop in him automatically. One cannot discover how such good qualities develop in the body of a devotee, but actually it happens. There is one instance where a hunter was taking pleasure in killing animals, but after becoming a devotee he was not prepared to kill even an ant. Such is the quality of a devotee.",
|
||||
"Those who are very eager to advance in transcendental knowledge can engage themselves in pure devotional service, without wasting time in mental speculation. For arriving at the positive conclusions of knowledge in the Absolute Truth, the word <i>brahma-darśanam</i> is significant in this verse. <i>Brahma-darśanam</i> means to realize or to understand the Transcendence. One who engages in the service of Vāsudeva can actually realize what Brahman is. If Brahman is impersonal, then there is no question of <i>darśanam,</i> which means seeing face to face. <i>Darśanam</i> refers to seeing the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vāsudeva. Unless the seer and the seen are persons, there is no <i>darśanam.</i> <i>Brahma-darśanam</i> means that as soon as one sees the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he can at once realize what impersonal Brahman is. A devotee does not need to make separate investigations to understand the nature of Brahman. <i>Bhagavad-gītā </i>also confirms this. <i>Brahma-bhūyāya kalpate: </i>a devotee at once becomes a self-realized soul in the Absolute Truth."

Whatever he does, whatever he thinks, is for the satisfaction of the Personality of Godhead. Either in the material world or in the spiritual world, his equipoised mind is completely manifested. He can understand that in the material world there is nothing good; everything is bad due to its being contaminated by material nature. The materialists' conclusions of good and bad, moral and immoral, etc., are simply mental concoction or sentiment. Actually there is nothing good in the material world. In the spiritual field everything is absolutely good. There is no inebriety in the spiritual varieties. Because a devotee accepts everything in spiritual vision, he is equipoised; that is the symptom of his being elevated to the transcendental position. He automatically attains detachment, <i>vairāgya,</i> then <i>jñāna,</i> knowledge, and then actual transcendental knowledge. The conclusion is that an advanced devotee dovetails himself in the transcendental qualities of the Lord, and in that sense he becomes qualitatively one with the Supreme Personality of Godhead."

"Perception of the disagreeable arises from attachment. A devotee has no personal attachment to anything; therefore for him there is no question of agreeable or disagreeable. For the service of the Lord he can accept anything, even though it may be disagreeable to his personal interest. In fact, he is completely free from personal interest, and thus anything agreeable to the Lord is agreeable to him. For example, for Arjuna at first fighting was not agreeable, but when he understood that the fighting was agreeable to the Lord, he accepted the fighting as agreeable. That is the position of a pure devotee. For his personal interest there is nothing which is agreeable or disagreeable; everything is done for the Lord, and therefore he is free from attachment and detachment. That is the transcendental stage of neutrality. A pure devotee enjoys life in the pleasure of the Supreme Lord."

"The word <i>dṛśyādibhiḥ</i> is significant. According to Jīva Gosvāmī, <i>dṛśyā</i> means <i>jñāna,</i> philosophical research. By different processes of philosophical research under different concepts, such as the process of <i>jñāna-yoga,</i> the same Bhagavān, or Supreme Personality of Godhead, is understood as impersonal Brahman. Similarly, by the eightfold <i>yoga</i> system He appears as the Paramātmā. But in pure Kṛṣṇa consciousness, or knowledge in purity, when one tries to understand the Absolute Truth, one realizes Him as the Supreme Person. The Transcendence is realized simply on the basis of knowledge. The words used here, <i>paramātmeśvaraḥ pumān,</i> are all transcendental, and they refer to Supersoul. Supersoul is also described as <i>puruṣa,</i> but the word <i>Bhagavān</i> directly refers to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is full of six opulences: wealth, fame, strength, beauty, knowledge and renunciation. He is the Personality of Godhead in different spiritual skies. The various descriptions of <i>paramātmā, īśvara</i> and <i>pumān</i> indicate that the expansions of the Supreme Godhead are unlimited.",
|
||||
"Ultimately, to understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead one has to accept <i>bhakti-yoga.</i> By executing <i>jñāna-yoga</i> or <i>dhyāna-yoga</i> one has to eventually approach the <i>bhakti-yoga</i> platform, and then <i>paramātmā, īśvara, pumān,</i> etc., are all clearly understood. It is recommended in the Second Canto of <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> that whether one is a devotee, or fruitive actor, or liberationist, if he is intelligent enough, he should engage himself with all seriousness in the process of devotional service. It is also explained that whatever one desires which is obtainable by fruitive activities, even if one wants to be elevated to higher planets, can be achieved simply by execution of devotional service. Since the Supreme Lord is full in six opulences, He can bestow any one of them upon the worshiper.",
|
||||
"The one Supreme Personality of Godhead reveals Himself to different thinkers as the Supreme Person, or impersonal Brahman, or Paramātmā. Impersonalists merge into the impersonal Brahman, but that is not achieved by worshiping the impersonal Brahman. If one takes to devotional service and at the same time desires to merge into the existence of the Supreme Lord, he can achieve that. If someone desires at all to merge into the existence of the Supreme, he has to execute devotional service.",
|
||||
"The devotee can see the Supreme Lord face to face, but the <i>jñānī,</i> the empiric philosopher, or <i>yogī</i> cannot. They cannot be elevated to the positions of associates of the Lord. There is no evidence in the scriptures stating that by cultivating knowledge or worshiping the impersonal Brahman one can become a personal associate of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Nor by executing the yogic principles can one become an associate of the Supreme Godhead. Impersonal Brahman, being formless, is described as <i>adṛśya</i> because the impersonal effulgence of <i>brahmajyoti</i> covers the face of the Supreme Lord. Some <i>yogīs</i> see the four-handed Viṣṇu sitting within the heart, and therefore in their case also the Supreme Lord is invisible. Only for the devotees is the Lord visible. Here the statement <i>dṛśyādibhiḥ</i> is significant. Since the Supreme Personality of Godhead is both invisible and visible, there are different features of the Lord. The Paramātmā feature and Brahman feature are invisible, but the Bhagavān feature is visible. In the <i>Viṣṇu Purāṇa</i> this fact is very nicely explained. The universal form of the Lord and the formless Brahman effulgence of the Lord, being invisible, are inferior features. The concept of the universal form is material, and the concept of impersonal Brahman is spiritual, but the highest spiritual understanding is the Personality of Godhead. <i>Viṣṇu Purāṇa</i> states, <i>viṣṇur brahma-svarūpeṇa svayam eva vyavasthitaḥ:</i> Brahman's real feature is Viṣṇu, or the Supreme Brahman is Viṣṇu. <i>Svayam eva:</i> that is His personal feature. The supreme spiritual conception is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It is also confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā:</i> <i>yad gatvā na nivartante tad dhāma paramaṁ mama.</i> That specific abode called <i>paramaṁ mama</i> is the place from which, once one attains it, one does not return to this miserable conditional life. Every place, every space and every thing belongs to Viṣṇu, but where He personally lives is <i>tad dhāma paramam,</i> His supreme abode. One has to make his destination the supreme abode of the Lord."

The <i>jñānīs</i> try to detach their sensual activities from material engagement.

The <i>aṣṭāṅga-yogīs</i> also try to control the senses. The devotees, however, try to engage the senses in the service of the Lord. Therefore it appears that the activities of the <i>bhaktas,</i> devotees, are better than those of the <i>jñānīs</i> and <i>yogīs.</i> The mystic <i>yogīs</i> simply try to control the senses by practicing the eight divisions of <i>yoga</i>—<i>yama, niyama, āsana, prāṇāyāma, pratyāhāra,</i> etc.—and the <i>jñānīs</i> try by mental reasoning to understand that sense enjoyment is false. But the easiest and most direct process is to engage the senses in the service of the Lord.",

"The purpose of all <i>yoga</i> is to detach one's sense activities from this material world.

That loving service is the perfect stage of sense control. The senses are actually active symptoms of life, and they cannot be stopped. They can be detached only if there is superior engagement. As it is confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> <i>paraṁ dṛṣṭvā nivartate. </i>The activities of the senses can be stopped if they are given superior engagements. The supreme engagement is to engage the senses in the service of the Lord. That is the purpose of all<i> yoga.</i>"

"The Supreme Absolute Truth, the Personality of Godhead, is one, and He is spread everywhere by His impersonal feature. This is clearly expressed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā.</i> Lord Kṛṣṇa says, \"Everything that is experienced is but an expansion of My energy.\" Everything is sustained by Him, but that does not mean that He is in everything. Sense perceptions, such as aural perception of the sound of a drum, visual perception of a beautiful woman, or perception of the delicious taste of a milk preparation by the tongue, all come through different senses and are therefore differently understood. Therefore sensory knowledge is divided in different categories, although actually everything is one as a manifestation of the energy of the Supreme Lord. Similarly, the energies of fire are heat and illumination, and by these two energies, fire can display itself in many varieties, or in diversified sense perception. Māyāvādī philosophers declare this diversity to be false. But Vaiṣṇava philosophers do not accept the different manifestations as false; they accept them as nondifferent from the Supreme Personality of Godhead because they are a display of His diverse energies.",
|
||||
"The philosophy that the Absolute is true and this creation is false (<i>brahma satyaṁ jagan </i><b><i>mithyā</i></b><b>) is not accepted by Vaiṣṇava philosophers. The example is given that although all that glitters is not gold, this does not mean that a glittering object is false. For example, an oyster shell appears to be golden. This appearance of golden hue is due only to the perception of the eyes, but that does not mean that the oyster shell is false. Similarly, by seeing the form of Lord Kṛṣṇa one cannot understand what He actually is, but this does not mean that He is false. The form of Kṛṣṇa has to be understood as it is described in the books of knowledge such as </b><b><i>Brahma-saṁhitā.</i></b><b> </b><b><i>Īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ:</i></b><b> Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, has an eternal, blissful spiritual body. By our imperfect sense perception we cannot understand the form of the Lord. We have to acquire knowledge about Him. Therefore it is said here, </b><b><i>jñānam ekam.</i></b><b> </b><b><i>Bhagavad-gītā</i></b><b> confirms that they are fools who, simply upon seeing Kṛṣṇa, consider Him a common man. They do not know the unlimited knowledge, power and opulence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Material sense speculation leads to the conclusion that the Supreme is formless. It is because of such mental speculation that the conditioned soul remains in ignorance under the spell of illusory energy. The Supreme Person has to be understood by the transcendental sound vibrated by Him in </b><b><i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i></b><b> wherein He says that there is nothing superior to Himself; the impersonal Brahman effulgence is resting on His personality. The purified, absolute vision of </b><b><i>Bhagavad-gītā</i></b><b> is compared to the River Ganges. Ganges water is so pure that it can purify even the asses and cows. But anyone who, disregarding the pure Ganges, wishes to be purified instead by the filthy water flowing in a drain, cannot be successful. Similarly, one can successfully attain pure knowledge of the Absolute only by hearing from the pure Absolute Himself.</b>",
|
||||
"In this verse it is clearly said that those who are averse to the Supreme Personality of Godhead speculate with their imperfect senses about the nature of the Absolute Truth. The formless Brahman conception, however, can be received only by aural reception and not by personal experience. Knowledge is therefore acquired by aural reception. It is confirmed in the <i>Vedānta-sūtra, śāstra-yonitvāt:</i> one has to acquire pure knowledge from the authorized scriptures. So-called speculative arguments about the Absolute Truth are therefore useless. The actual identity of the living entity is his consciousness, which is always present while the living entity is awake, dreaming, or in deep sleep. Even in deep sleep, he can perceive by consciousness whether he is happy or distressed. Thus when consciousness is displayed through the medium of the subtle and gross material bodies, it is covered, but when the consciousness is purified, in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, one becomes free from the entanglement of repeated birth and death.",
|
||||
"When uncontaminated pure knowledge is uncovered from the modes of material nature, then the actual identity of the living entity is discovered: he is eternally a servitor of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The process of uncovering is like this: the rays of sunshine are luminous, and the sun itself is also luminous. In the presence of the sun, the rays illuminate just like the sun, but when the sunshine is covered by the spell of a cloud, or by <i>māyā,</i> then darkness, the imperfection of perception, begins. Therefore, to get out of the entanglement of the spell of nescience, one has to awaken his spiritual consciousness or Kṛṣṇa consciousness in terms of the authorized scriptures."

"The Supreme Lord is described as <i>mahat-pada,</i> which means that the total material energy known as the <i>mahat-tattva</i> is lying at His lotus feet. The origin or the total energy of the cosmic manifestation is the <i>mahat-tattva.</i> From the <i>mahat-tattva</i> all the other twenty-four divisions have sprung, namely the eleven senses (including the mind), the five sense objects, the five material elements, and then consciousness, intelligence and false ego. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is the cause of the <i>mahat-tattva,</i> and therefore, in one sense, because everything is an emanation from the Supreme Lord, there is no difference between the Lord and the cosmic manifestation. But at the same time the cosmic manifestation is different from the Lord. The word <i>sva-rāṭ</i> is very significant here. <i>Sva-rāṭ</i> means independent. The Supreme Lord is independent, and the individual soul is also independent. Although there is no comparison between the two qualities of independence, the living entity is minutely independent, and the Supreme Lord is fully independent. As the individual soul has a material body made of five elements and the senses, the Supreme Independent Lord similarly has the gigantic body of the universe. The individual body is temporary; similarly, the entire universe, which is considered to be the body of the Supreme Lord, is also temporary, and both the individual and universal bodies are products of the <i>mahat-tattva.</i> One has to understand the differences with intelligence. Everyone knows that his material body has developed from a spiritual spark, and similarly the universal body has developed from the supreme spark, Supersoul. As the individual body develops from the individual soul, so the gigantic body of the universe develops from the Supreme Soul. Just as the individual soul has consciousness, so the Supreme Soul is also conscious. But although there is a similarity between the consciousness of the Supreme Soul and the consciousness of the individual soul, the individual soul's consciousness is limited, whereas the consciousness of the Supreme Soul is unlimited. This is described in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i>. <i>Kṣetrajñaṁ cāpi māṁ viddhi</i> (Bg. 13.3)<i>:</i> the Supersoul is present in every field of activity, just as the individual soul is present in the individual body. Both of them are conscious. The difference is that the individual soul is conscious of the individual body only, whereas the Supersoul is conscious of the total number of individual bodies."

"The opportunity for direct touch with the Personality of Godhead is given in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> where it is also said that those who take to other processes, namely the processes of philosophical speculation and mystic <i>yoga</i> practice, have much trouble. After many, many years of much trouble, a <i>yogī</i> or wise philosopher may come to Him, but his path is very troublesome, whereas the path of devotional service is easy for everyone. One can achieve the result of wise philosophical speculation simply by discharging devotional service, and unless one reaches the point of the Personality of Godhead by his mental speculation, then all his research work is said to be simply a labor of love. The ultimate destination of the wise philosopher is to merge in the impersonal Brahman, but that Brahman is the effulgence of the Supreme Person. The Lord says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i>, <i>brahmaṇo hi pratiṣṭhāham amṛtasyāvyayasya ca:</i> \"I am the basis of the impersonal Brahman, which is indestructible and is the supreme bliss.\" The Lord is the supreme reservoir of all pleasure, including Brahman pleasure; therefore, one who has unflinching faith in the Supreme Personality of Godhead is to be said to be already realized in impersonal Brahman and Paramātmā."

"It appears that by following the path of <i>jñāna-yoga,</i> or empiric philosophical speculation, one reaches the impersonal Brahman, whereas by executing devotional service in Kṛṣṇa consciousness one enriches his faith in and devotion to the Personality of Godhead. But it is stated here that both <i>bhakti-yoga</i> and <i>jñāna-yoga</i> are meant for reaching the same destination—the Personality of Godhead. By the process of <i>jñāna-yoga</i> the same Personality of Godhead appears to be impersonal. As the same object appears to be different when perceived by different senses, similarly the same Supreme Lord appears to be impersonal by mental speculation. A hill appears cloudy from a distance, and one who does not know may speculate that the hill is a cloud. Actually, it is not a cloud; it is a big hill. One has to learn from authority that the sight of a cloud is not actually a cloud but a hill. If one makes a little more progress, then instead of a cloud he sees the hill and something green. When one actually approaches the hill, he will see many varieties. Another example is in perceiving milk. When we see milk, we see that it is white; when we taste it, it appears that milk is very palatable. When we touch milk, it appears very cold; when we smell milk, it appears to have a very good flavor; and when we hear, we understand that it is called milk. Perceiving milk with different senses, we say that it is something white, something very delicious, something very aromatic, and so on. Actually, it is milk. Similarly, those who are trying to find the Supreme Godhead by mental speculation may approach the bodily effulgence, or the impersonal Brahman, and those who are trying to find the Supreme Godhead by <i>yoga</i> practice may find Him as the localized Supersoul, but those who are directly trying to approach the Supreme Truth by practice of <i>bhakti-yoga</i> can see Him face to face as the Supreme Person.",
|
||||
"Ultimately, the Supreme Person is the destination of all different processes. The fortunate person who, by following the principles of scriptures, becomes completely purified of all material contamination, surrenders unto the Supreme Lord as everything. Just as one can appreciate the real taste of milk with the tongue and not with the eyes, nostrils or ears, one can similarly appreciate the Absolute Truth perfectly and with all relishable pleasure only through one path, devotional service. This is also confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā, bhaktyā mām abhijānāti: </i>if one wants to understand the Absolute Truth in perfection, he must take to devotional service. Of course, no one can understand the Absolute Truth in all perfection. That is not possible for the infinitesimal living entities. But the highest point of understanding by the living entity is reached by discharge of devotional service, not otherwise.",
|
||||
"By following various scriptural paths, one may come to the impersonal effulgence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The transcendental pleasure derived from merging with or understanding the impersonal Brahman is very extensive because Brahman is <i>ananta.</i> <i>Tad brahma niṣkalaṁ anantam:</i> <i>brahmānanda</i> is unlimited. But that unlimited pleasure can also be surpassed. That is the nature of the Transcendence. The unlimited can be surpassed also, and that higher platform is Kṛṣṇa. When one deals directly with Kṛṣṇa, the mellow and the humor relished by reciprocation of devotional service is incomparable, even with the pleasure derived from transcendental Brahman. Prabodhānanda Sarasvatī therefore says that <i>kaivalya,</i> the Brahman pleasure, is undoubtedly very great and is appreciated by many philosophers, but to a devotee who has understood how to derive pleasure from exchanging devotional service with the Lord, this unlimited Brahman appears to be hellish. One should try, therefore, to transcend even the Brahman pleasure in order to approach the position of dealing with Kṛṣṇa face to face. As the mind is the center of all the activities of the senses, so Kṛṣṇa is called the master of the senses, Hṛṣīkeśa. The process is to fix the mind on Hṛṣīkeśa or Kṛṣṇa, as Mahārāja Ambarīṣa did (<i>sa vai manaḥ kṛṣṇa-padāravindayoḥ</i>). <i>Bhakti</i> is the basic principle of all processes. Without <i>bhakti,</i> neither <i>jñāna-yoga</i> nor <i>aṣṭāṅga-yoga</i> can be successful, and unless one approaches Kṛṣṇa, the principles of self-realization have no ultimate destination."

|

"purport": [
|

"As it is stated in the previous verse, one has to follow the principles of the scriptures. There are different prescribed duties for persons in the different social and spiritual orders. Here it is stated that performance of fruitive activities and sacrifices and distribution of charity are activities meant for persons who are in the householder order of society. There are four orders of the social system: <i>brahmacarya, gṛhastha, vānaprastha</i> and <i>sannyāsa.</i> For the <i>gṛhasthas,</i> or householders, performance of sacrifices, distribution of charity, and action according to prescribed duties are especially recommended. Similarly, austerity, study of Vedic literature, and philosophical research are meant for the <i>vānaprasthas,</i> or retired persons. Study of the Vedic literature from the bona fide spiritual master is meant for the <i>brahmacārī,</i> or student. <i>Ātmendriya-jaya,</i> control of the mind and taming of the senses, is meant for persons in the renounced order of life. All these different activities are prescribed for different persons so that they may be elevated to the platform of self-realization and from there to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, devotional service.",
|
||||
"The words <i>bhakti-yogena caiva hi</i> mean that whatever is to be performed, as described in verse 34, whether <i>yoga,</i> or sacrifice, or fruitive activity, or study of Vedic literature, or philosophical research, or acceptance of the renounced order of life, is to be executed in <i>bhakti-yoga.</i> The words <i>caiva hi,</i> according to Sanskrit grammar, indicate that one must perform all these activities mixed with devotional service, otherwise such activities will not produce any fruit. Any prescribed activity must be performed for the sake of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It is confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i>, <i>yat karoṣi yad aśnāsi:</i> \"Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you sacrifice, whatever austerities you undergo and whatever charities you give, the result should be given to the Supreme Lord.\" The word <i>eva</i> is added, indicating that one <i>must</i> execute activities in such a way. Unless one adds devotional service to all activities, he cannot achieve the desired result, but when <i>bhakti-yoga</i> is prominent in every activity, then the ultimate goal is sure.",
|
||||
"One has to approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, as it is stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā:</i> \"After many, many births, one approaches the Supreme Person, Kṛṣṇa, and surrenders unto Him, knowing that He is everything.\" Also in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> the Lord says, <i>bhoktāraṁ yajña-tapasām:</i> \"For anyone who is undergoing rigid austerity or for anyone who is performing different kinds of sacrifices, the beneficiary is the Supreme Personality of Godhead.\" He is the proprietor of all planets, and He is the friend of every living soul.",
|
||||
"The words <i>dharmeṇobhaya-cihnena</i> mean that the <i>bhakti-yoga</i> process contains two symptoms, namely attachment for the Supreme Lord and detachment from all material affinities. There are two symptoms of advancement in the process of devotional service, just as there are two processes taking place while eating. A hungry man feels strength and satisfaction from eating, and at the same time he gradually becomes detached from eating any more. Similarly, with the execution of devotional service, real knowledge develops, and one becomes detached from all material activities. In no other activity but devotional service is there such detachment from matter and attachment for the Supreme. There are nine different processes to increase this attachment to the Supreme Lord: hearing, chanting, remembering, worshiping, serving the Lord, making friendship, praying, offering everything, and serving the lotus feet of the Lord. The processes for increasing detachment from material affinities are explained in verse 36.",
|
||||
"One can achieve elevation to the higher planetary systems like the heavenly kingdom by executing one's prescribed duties and by performing sacrifices. When he is transcendental to such desires because of accepting the renounced order of life, he can understand the Brahman feature of the Supreme, and when one is able to see his real constitutional position, he sees all other processes and becomes situated in the stage of pure devotional service. At that time he can understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Bhagavān.",
|
||||
"Understanding of the Supreme Person is called <i>ātma-tattva-avabodhena</i>, which means understanding of one's real constitutional position. If one actually understands one's constitutional position as an eternal servitor of the Supreme Lord, he becomes detached from the service of the material world. Everyone engages in some sort of service. If one does not know one's constitutional position, one engages in the service of his personal gross body, or his family, society or country. But as soon as one is able to see his constitutional position (the word <i>sva-dṛk</i> means one who is able to see), he becomes detached from such material service and engages himself in devotional service.",
|
||||
"As long as one is in the modes of material nature and is performing the duties prescribed in the scriptures, he can be elevated to higher planetary systems where the predominating deities are material representations of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, like the sun-god, the moon-god, the air-god, Brahmā and Lord Śiva. All the different demigods are material representations of the Supreme Lord. By material activities one can only approach such demigods, as stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i>. <i>Yānti deva-vratā devān </i>(Bg. 9.25)<i>:</i> those who are attached to the demigods and who perform the prescribed duties can approach the abodes of the demigods. In this way, one can go to the planet of the <i>pitās</i>, or forefathers. Similarly, one who fully understands the real position of his life adopts devotional service and realizes the Supreme Personality of Godhead."

Lord Kapila is summarizing the importance of the process of devotional service. <i>Bhakti-yoga,</i> as described before, is divided into four divisions, three in the material modes of nature and one in transcendence, which is untinged by the modes of material nature. Devotional service mixed with the modes of material nature is a means for material existence, whereas devotional service without desires for fruitive result and without attempts for empirical philosophical research is pure, transcendental devotional service."

"Persons who are always planning to do harm to other living entities are not eligible to understand Kṛṣṇa consciousness and cannot enter into the realm of transcendental loving service to the Lord. Also, there are so-called disciples who become submissive to a spiritual master most artificially, with an ulterior motive. They also cannot understand what Kṛṣṇa consciousness or devotional service is. Persons who, due to being initiated by another sect of religious faith, do not find devotional service as the common platform for approaching the Supreme Personality of Godhead, also cannot understand Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We have experience that some students come to join us, but because of being biased in some particular type of faith, they leave our camp and become lost in the wilderness. Actually, Kṛṣṇa consciousness is not a sectarian religious faith; it is a teaching process for understanding the Supreme Lord and our relationship with Him. Anyone can join this movement without prejudice, but unfortunately there are persons who feel differently. It is better, therefore, not to instruct the science of Kṛṣṇa consciousness unto such persons.",

"Generally, materialistic persons are after some name, fame and material gain, so if someone takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness for these reasons, he will never be able to understand this philosophy. Such persons take to religious principles as a social decoration. They admit themselves into some cultural institution for the sake of name only, especially in this age. Such persons also cannot understand the philosophy of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Even if one is not greedy for material possessions but is too attached to family life, he also cannot understand Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Superficially such persons are not very greedy for material possessions, but they are too attached to wife, children and family improvement. When a person is not contaminated by the above-mentioned faults yet at the ultimate issue is not interested in the service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, or if he is a non-devotee, he also cannot understand the philosophy of Kṛṣṇa consciousness."

"In the beginning, no one can be elevated to the highest stage of devotional service. Here <i>bhakta</i> means one who does not hesitate to accept the reformatory processes for becoming a <i>bhakta.</i> In order to become a devotee of the Lord one has to accept a spiritual master and inquire from him about how to progress in devotional service. To serve a devotee, to chant the holy name according to a certain counting method, to worship the Deity, to hear <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> or <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> from a realized person and to live in a sacred place where devotional service is not disturbed are the first out of sixty-four devotional activities for making progress in devotional service. One who has accepted these five chief activities is called a devotee.",
|
||||
"One must be prepared to offer the necessary respect and honor to the spiritual master. He should not be unnecessarily envious of his Godbrothers. Rather, if a Godbrother is more enlightened and advanced in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, one should accept him as almost equal to the spiritual master, and one should be happy to see such Godbrothers advance in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. A devotee should always be very kind to the general public in instructing Kṛṣṇa consciousness because that is the only solution for getting out of the clutches of <i>māyā.</i> That is really humanitarian work, for it is the way to show mercy to other people who need it very badly. The word <i>śuśrūṣābhiratāya</i> indicates a person who faithfully engages in serving the spiritual master. One should give personal service and all kinds of comforts to the spiritual master. A devotee who does so is also a bona fide candidate for taking this instruction. The word <i>bahir jāta-virāgāya</i> means a person who has developed detachment from external and internal material propensities. Not only is he detached from activities which are not connected to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, but he should be internally averse to the material way of life. Such a person must be nonenvious and should think of the welfare of all living entities, not only of the human beings, but living entities other than human beings. The word <i>śucaye</i> means one who is cleansed both externally and internally. To become actually cleansed externally and internally, one should chant the holy name of the Lord, Hare Kṛṣṇa, or Viṣṇu, constantly.",
|
||||
"The word <i>dīyatām</i> means that knowledge of Kṛṣṇa consciousness should be offered by the spiritual master. The spiritual master must not accept a disciple who is not qualified; he should not be professional and should not accept disciples for monetary gains. The bona fide spiritual master must see the bona fide qualities of a person whom he is going to initiate. An unworthy person should not be initiated. The spiritual master should train his disciple in such a way so that in the future only the Supreme Personality of Godhead will be the dearmost goal of his life.",
|
||||
"In these two verses the qualities of a devotee are fully explained. One who has actually developed all the qualities listed in these verses is already elevated to the post of a devotee. If one has not developed all these qualities, he still has to fulfill these conditions in order to become a perfect devotee."
