"Since Mahārāja Parīkṣit was a Vaiṣṇava, when he heard the description, at the end of the Fifth Canto, of the different hellish conditions of life, he was very much concerned with how to liberate the conditioned souls from the clutches of <i>māyā</i> and take them back home, back to Godhead. Therefore he reminded his spiritual master, Śukadeva Gosvāmī, about the <i>nivṛtti-mārga,</i> or path of liberation, which he had described in the Second Canto. Mahārāja Parīkṣit, who at the time of death was fortunate to have met Śukadeva Gosvāmī, inquired from Śukadeva Gosvāmī about the path of liberation at that crucial time. Śukadeva Gosvāmī very much appreciated his question and congratulated him by saying:",
|
||||
"<i>varīyān eṣa te praśnaḥ<br/> kṛto loka-hitaṁ nṛpa<br/> ātmavit-sammataḥ puṁsāṁ<br/> śrotavyādiṣu yaḥ paraḥ</i>",
|
||||
"\"My dear King, your question is glorious because it is very beneficial for all kinds of people. The answer to this question is the prime subject matter for hearing, and it is approved by all transcendentalists.\" (<i>Bhāg.</i> 2.1.1)",
|
||||
"Parīkṣit Mahārāja was astonished that the living entities in the conditional stage do not accept the path of liberation, devotional service, instead of suffering in so many hellish conditions. This is the symptom of a Vaiṣṇava. <i>Vāñchā-kalpa-tarubhyaś ca kṛpā-sindhubhya eva ca:</i> a Vaiṣṇava is an ocean of mercy. <i>Para-duḥkha-duḥkhī:</i> he is unhappy because of the unhappiness of others. Therefore Parīkṣit Mahārāja, being compassionate toward the conditioned souls suffering in hellish life, suggested that Śukadeva Gosvāmī continue describing the path of liberation, which he had explained in the beginning of <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.</i> The word <i>asaṁsṛti</i> is very important in this connection. <i>Saṁsṛti</i> refers to continuing on the path of birth and death. <i>Asaṁsṛti,</i> on the contrary, refers to <i>nivṛtti-mārga,</i> or the path of liberation, by which one's birth and death cease and one gradually progresses to Brahmaloka, unless one is a pure devotee who does not care about going to the higher planetary systems, in which case one immediately returns home, back to Godhead, by executing devotional service (<i>tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti</i>). Parīkṣit Mahārāja, therefore, was very eager to hear from Śukadeva Gosvāmī about the path of liberation for the conditioned soul.",

"According to the opinion of the <i>ācāryas,</i> the word <i>krama-yogopalabdhena</i> indicates that by first performing <i>karma-yoga</i> and then <i>jñāna-yoga</i> and finally coming to the platform of <i>bhakti-yoga,</i> one can be liberated. <i>Bhakti-yoga,</i> however, is so powerful that it does not depend on <i>karma-yoga</i> or <i>jñāna-yoga.</i> <i>Bhakti-yoga</i> itself is so powerful that even an impious man with no assets in <i>karma-yoga</i> or an illiterate with no assets in <i>jñāna-yoga</i> can undoubtedly be elevated to the spiritual world if he simply adheres to <i>bhakti-yoga.</i> <i>Mām evaiṣyasy asaṁśayaḥ.</i> Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (8.7) that by the process of <i>bhakti-yoga</i> one undoubtedly goes back to Godhead, back home to the spiritual world. <i>Yogīs,</i> however, instead of going directly to the spiritual world, sometimes want to see other planetary systems, and therefore they ascend to the planetary system where Lord Brahmā lives, as indicated here by the word <i>brahmaṇā.</i> At the time of dissolution, Lord Brahmā, along with all the inhabitants of Brahmaloka, goes directly to the spiritual world. This is confirmed in the <i>Vedas</i> as follows:",
|
||||
"<i>brahmaṇā saha te sarve<br/> samprāpte pratisañcare<br/> parasyānte kṛtātmānaḥ<br/> praviśanti paraṁ padam</i>",
|
||||
"\"Because of their exalted position, those who are on Brahmaloka at the time of dissolution go directly back home, back to Godhead, along with Lord Brahmā.\""

"\"Those who worship the demigods will take birth among the demigods; those who worship ghosts and spirits will take birth among such beings; those who worship ancestors go to the ancestors; and those who worship Me will live with Me.\" Because of the influence of the various modes of nature, the living entities have various tendencies or propensities, and therefore they are qualified to achieve various destinations. As long as one is materially attached, he wants to be elevated to the heavenly planets because of his attraction to the material world. The Supreme Personality of Godhead declares, however, \"Those who worship Me come to Me.\" If one has no information about the Supreme Lord and His abode, one tries to be elevated only to a higher material position, but when one concludes that in this material world there is nothing but repeated birth and death, he tries to return home, back to Godhead. If one attains that destination, he need never return to this material world (<i>yad gatvā na nivartante tad dhāma paramaṁ mama</i>). As Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu says in <i>Caitanya-caritāmṛta</i> (<i>Madhya</i> 19.151):",
|
||||
"<i>brahmāṇḍa bhramite kona bhāgyavān jīva<br/> guru-kṛṣṇa-prasāde pāya bhakti-latā-bīja</i>",
|
||||
"\"According to their <i>karma,</i> all living entities are wandering throughout the entire universe. Some of them are being elevated to the upper planetary systems, and some are going down into the lower planetary systems. Out of many millions of wandering living entities, one who is very fortunate gets an opportunity to associate with a bona fide spiritual master by the grace of Kṛṣṇa. By the mercy of both Kṛṣṇa and the spiritual master, such a person receives the seed of the creeper of devotional service.\" All living entities are rotating throughout the universe, going sometimes up to the higher planetary systems and sometimes down to the lower planets. This is the material disease, which is known as <i>pravṛtti-mārga.</i> When one becomes intelligent he takes to <i>nivṛtti-mārga,</i> the path of liberation, and thus instead of rotating within this material world, he returns home, back to Godhead. This is necessary."

"Here the words <i>yathedam asṛjad vibhuḥ</i> clearly indicate that the Supreme, the great, almighty Personality of Godhead, created this entire material world with its different varieties of planets, stars and so forth. Atheists try to conceal the hand of God, which is present in every creation, but they cannot explain how all these creations could come into existence without a competent intelligence and almighty power behind them. Simply to imagine or speculate is a waste of time. In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (10.8) the Lord says, <i>ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo:</i> \"I am the origin of everything.\" <i>Mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate:</i> \"Whatever exists in the creation emanates from Me.\" <i>Iti matvā bhajante māṁ budhā bhāva-samanvitāḥ:</i> \"When one fully understands that I create everything by My omnipotence, one becomes firmly situated in devotional service and fully surrenders at My lotus feet.\" Unfortunately, the unintelligent cannot immediately understand Kṛṣṇa's supremacy. Nonetheless, if they associate with devotees and read authorized books, they may gradually come to the proper understanding, although this may take many, many births. As Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (7.19):",
|
||||
"<i>bahūnāṁ janmanām ante<br/> jñānavān māṁ prapadyate<br/> vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti<br/> sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ</i>",
|
||||
"\"After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare.\" Vāsudeva, Kṛṣṇa, is the creator of everything, and His energy is displayed in various ways. As explained in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (7.4-5), a combination of the material energy (<i>bhūmir āpo 'nalo vāyuḥ</i>) and the spiritual energy, the living entity, exists in every creation. Therefore the same principle, the combination of the supreme spirit and the material elements, is the cause of the cosmic manifestation."

"In the Twenty-sixth Chapter of the Fifth Canto, Śukadeva Gosvāmī has explained that people who commit sinful acts are forced to enter hellish planets and suffer. Now Mahārāja Parīkṣit, being a devotee, is concerned with how this can be stopped. A Vaiṣṇava is <i>para-duḥkha-duḥkhī;</i> in other words, he has no personal troubles, but he is very unhappy to see others in trouble. Prahlāda Mahārāja said, \"My Lord, I have no personal problems, for I have learned how to glorify Your transcendental qualities and thus enter a trance of ecstasy. I do have a problem, however, for I am simply thinking of these rascals and fools who are busy with <i>māyā-sukha,</i> temporary happiness, without knowledge of devotional service unto You.\" This is the problem faced by a Vaiṣṇava. Because a Vaiṣṇava fully takes shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he personally has no problems, but because he is compassionate toward the fallen, conditioned souls, he is always thinking of plans to save them from their hellish life in this body and the next. Parīkṣit Mahārāja, therefore, anxiously wanted to know from Śukadeva Gosvāmī how humanity can be saved from gliding down to hell. Śukadeva Gosvāmī had already explained how people enter hellish life, and he could also explain how they could be saved from it. Intelligent men must take advantage of these instructions. Unfortunately, however, the entire world is lacking Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and therefore people are suffering from the grossest ignorance and do not even believe in a life after this one. To convince them of their next life is very difficult because they have become almost mad in their pursuit of material enjoyment. Nevertheless, our duty, the duty of all sane men, is to save them. Mahārāja Parīkṣit is the representative of one who can save them."

"Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura mentions that although Mahārāja Parīkṣit was a pure devotee, Śukadeva Gosvāmī did not immediately speak to him about the strength of devotional service. As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (14.26):",
|

"<i>māṁ ca yo 'vyabhicāreṇa<br/> bhakti-yogena sevate<br/> sa guṇān samatītyaitān<br/> brahma-bhūyāya kalpate</i>",

"Devotional service is so strong that if one fully surrenders to Kṛṣṇa and takes fully to His devotional service, the reactions of his sinful life immediately stop.",
|

"Elsewhere in the <i>Gītā</i> (18.66), Lord Kṛṣṇa urges that one give up all other duties and surrender to Him, and He promises, <i>ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣayiṣyāmi:</i> \"I shall free you from all sinful reactions and give you liberation.\" Therefore in response to the inquiries of Parīkṣit Mahārāja, Śukadeva Gosvāmī, his <i>guru,</i> could have immediately explained the principle of <i>bhakti,</i> but to test Parīkṣit Mahārāja's intelligence, he first prescribed atonement according to <i>karma-kāṇḍa,</i> the path of fruitive activities. For <i>karma-kāṇḍa</i> there are eighty authorized scriptures, such as <i>Manu-saṁhitā,</i> which are known as <i>dharma-śāstras.</i> In these scriptures one is advised to counteract his sinful acts by performing other types of fruitive action. This was the path first recommended by Śukadeva Gosvāmī to Mahārāja Parīkṣit, and actually it is a fact that one who does not take to devotional service must follow the decision of these scriptures by performing pious acts to counteract his impious acts. This is known as atonement."

"The <i>dharma-śāstras</i> like the <i>Manu-saṁhitā</i> prescribe that a man who has committed murder should be hanged and his own life sacrificed in atonement. Previously this system was followed all over the world, but since people are becoming atheists, they are stopping capital punishment. This is not wise. Herein it is said that a physician who knows how to diagnose a disease prescribes medicine accordingly. If the disease is very serious, the medicine must be strong. The weight of a murderer's sin is very great, and therefore according to <i>Manu-saṁhitā</i> a murderer must be killed. By killing a murderer the government shows mercy to him because if a murderer is not killed in this life, he will be killed and forced to suffer many times in future lives. Since people do not know about the next life and the intricate workings of nature, they manufacture their own laws, but they should properly consult the established injunctions of the <i>śāstras</i> and act accordingly. In India even today the Hindu community often takes advice from expert scholars regarding how to counteract sinful activities. In Christianity also there is a process of confession and atonement. Therefore atonement is required, and atonement must be undergone according to the gravity of one's sinful acts."

Nevertheless, in spite of such knowledge, one is forced to commit sins again and again, even after performing acts of atonement. Therefore, what is the value of such atonement?</b>",

"In some religious sects a sinful man goes to a priest to confess his sinful acts and pay a fine, but then he again commits the same sins and returns to confess them again. This is the practice of a professional sinner. Parīkṣit Mahārāja's observations indicate that even five thousand years ago it was the practice of criminals to atone for their crimes but then commit the same crimes again, as if forced to do so. Therefore, owing to his practical experience, Parīkṣit Mahārāja saw that the process of repeatedly sinning and atoning is pointless. Regardless of how many times he is punished, one who is attached to sense enjoyment will commit sinful acts again and again until he is trained to refrain from enjoying his senses. The word <i>vivaśa</i> is used herein, indicating that even one who does not want to commit sinful acts will be forced to do so by habit. Parīkṣit Mahārāja therefore considered the process of atonement to have little value for saving one from sinful acts. In the following verse he further explains his rejection of this process."

"The <i>guru,</i> Śukadeva Gosvāmī, has examined Parīkṣit Mahārāja, and it appears that the King has passed one phase of the examination by rejecting the process of atonement because it involves fruitive activities. Now Śukadeva Gosvāmī is suggesting the platform of speculative knowledge. Progressing from <i>karma-kāṇḍa</i> to <i>jñāna-kāṇḍa,</i> he is proposing, <i>prāyaścittaṁ vimarśanam:</i> \"Real atonement is full knowledge.\" <i>Vimarśana</i> refers to the cultivation of speculative knowledge. In <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> <i>karmīs,</i> who are lacking in knowledge, are compared to asses. Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (7.15)",
|
||||
"<i>na māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ<br/> prapadyante narādhamāḥ<br/> māyayāpahṛta-jñānā<br/> āsuraṁ bhāvam āśritāḥ</i>",
|
||||
"\"Those miscreants who are grossly foolish, lowest among mankind, whose knowledge is stolen by illusion, and who partake of the atheistic nature of demons, do not surrender unto Me.\" Thus <i>karmīs</i> who engage in sinful acts and who do not know the true objective of life are called <i>mūḍhas,</i> asses. <i>Vimarśana,</i> however, is also explained in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (15.15), where Kṛṣṇa says, <i>vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ:</i> the purpose of Vedic study is to understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If one studies Vedānta but merely advances somewhat in speculative knowledge and does not understand the Supreme Lord, one remains the same <i>mūḍha.</i> As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (7.19), one attains real knowledge when he understands Kṛṣṇa and surrenders unto Him (<i>bahūnāṁ janmanām ante jñānavān māṁ prapadyate</i>). To become learned and free from material contamination, therefore, one should try to understand Kṛṣṇa, for thus one is immediately liberated from all pious and impious activities and their reactions."

This is called first-class <i>brahmacarya.</i> If a <i>brahmacārī</i> or <i>sannyāsī</i> talks with a woman in a secluded place, naturally there will be a possibility of sex life without anyone's knowledge. Therefore a complete <i>brahmacārī</i> practices just the opposite. If one is a perfect <i>brahmacārī,</i> he can very easily control the mind and senses, give charity, speak truthfully and so forth. To begin, however, one must control the tongue and the process of eating.",
|
||||
"In the <i>bhakti-mārga,</i> the path of devotional service, one must strictly follow the regulative principles by first controlling the tongue (<i>sevonmukhe hi jihvādau svayam eva sphuraty adaḥ</i>). The tongue (<i>jihvā</i>) can be controlled if one chants the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mahā-mantra,</i> does not speak of any subjects other than those concerning Kṛṣṇa and does not taste anything not offered to Kṛṣṇa. If one can control the tongue in this way, <i>brahmacarya</i> and other purifying processes will automatically follow. It will be explained in the next verse that the path of devotional service is completely perfect and is therefore superior to the path of fruitive activities and the path of knowledge. Quoting from the <i>Vedas,</i> Śrīla Vīrarāghava Ācārya explains that austerity involves observing fasts as fully as possible (<i>tapasānāśakena</i>). Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī has also advised that <i>atyāhāra,</i> too much eating, is an impediment to advancement in spiritual life. Also, in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (6.17) Kṛṣṇa says:",
|
||||
"<i>yuktāhāra-vihārasya<br/> yukta-ceṣṭasya karmasu<br/> yukta-svapnāvabodhasya<br/> yogo bhavati duḥkha-hā</i>",
|
||||
"\"He who is temperate in his habits of eating, sleeping, working and recreation can mitigate all material pains by practicing the <i>yoga</i> system.\"",
|
||||
"In text 14 the word <i>dhīrāḥ,</i> meaning \"those who are undisturbed under all circumstances,\" is very significant. Kṛṣṇa tells Arjuna in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (2.14):",
|
||||
"<i>mātrā-sparśās tu kaunteya<br/> śītoṣṇa-sukha-duḥkha-dāḥ<br/> āgamāpāyino 'nityās<br/> tāṁs titikṣasva bhārata</i>",
|
||||
"\"O son of Kuntī, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.\" In material life there are many disturbances (<i>adhyātmika, adhidaivika</i> and <i>adhibhautika</i>). One who has learned to tolerate these disturbances under all circumstances is called <i>dhīra.</i>"

"In the previous verse Śukadeva Gosvāmī gave the example that the dried leaves of creepers beneath a bamboo tree may be completely burnt to ashes by a fire, although the creepers may sprout again because the root is still in the ground. Similarly, because the root of sinful desire is not destroyed in the heart of a person who is cultivating knowledge but who has no taste for devotional service, there is a possibility that his sinful desires will reappear. As stated in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (10.14.4):",
|

"<i>śreyaḥ-sṛtiṁ bhaktim udasya te vibho<br/> kliśyanti ye kevala-bodha-labdhaye</i>",

"Speculators who undergo great labor to gain a meticulous understanding of the material world by distinguishing between sinful and pious activities, but who are not situated in devotional service are prone to material activities. They may fall down and become implicated in fruitive activities. If one becomes attached to devotional service, however, his desires for material enjoyment are automatically vanquished without separate endeavor. <i>Bhaktiḥ pareśānubhavo viraktir anyatra ca: </i>if one is advanced in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, material activities, both sinful and pious, automatically become distasteful to him. That is the test of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Both pious and impious activities are actually due to ignorance because a living entity, as an eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa, has no need to act for his personal sense gratification. Therefore as soon as one is reclaimed to the platform of devotional service, he relinquishes his attachment for pious and impious activities and is interested only in what will satisfy Kṛṣṇa. This process of <i>bhakti,</i> devotional service to Kṛṣṇa (<i>vāsudeva-parāyaṇa</i>), relieves one from the reactions of all activities.",
|
||||
"Since Mahārāja Parīkṣit was a great devotee, the answers of his <i>guru,</i> Śukadeva Gosvāmī, concerning <i>karma-kāṇḍa</i> and <i>jñāna-kāṇḍa</i> could not satisfy him. Therefore Śukadeva Gosvāmī, knowing very well the heart of his disciple, explained the transcendental bliss of devotional service. The word <i>kecit,</i> which is used in this verse, means, \"a few people but not all.\" Not everyone can become Kṛṣṇa conscious. As Kṛṣṇa explains in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (<i>7.3</i>):",
|

"<i>manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu<br/> kaścid yatati siddhaye<br/> yatatām api siddhānāṁ<br/> kaścin māṁ vetti tattvataḥ</i>",
|
||||
"\"Out of many thousands among men, one may endeavor for perfection, and of those who have achieved perfection, hardly one knows Me in truth.\" Practically no one understands Kṛṣṇa as He is, for Kṛṣṇa cannot be understood through pious activities or attainment of the most elevated speculative knowledge. Actually the highest knowledge consists of understanding Kṛṣṇa. Unintelligent men who do not understand Kṛṣṇa are grossly puffed up, thinking that they are liberated or have themselves become Kṛṣṇa or Nārāyaṇa. This is ignorance.",
|
||||
"To indicate the purity of <i>bhakti,</i> devotional service, Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī says in <i>Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu</i> (1.1.11):",
|
||||
"<i>anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyaṁ<br/> jñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam<br/> ānukūlyena kṛṣṇānu-<br/> śīlanaṁ bhaktir uttamā</i>",
|
||||
"\"One should render transcendental loving service to the Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa favorably and without desire for material profit or gain through fruitive activities or philosophical speculation. That is called pure devotional service.\" Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī further explains that <i>bhakti</i> is <i>kleśaghnī śubhadā,</i> which means if one takes to devotional service, all kinds of unnecessary labor and material distress cease entirely and one achieves all good fortune. <i>Bhakti</i> is so powerful that it is also said to be <i>mokṣa-laghutākṛt;</i> in other words, it minimizes the importance of liberation.",
|
||||
"Nondevotees must undergo material hardships because they are prone to commit sinful fruitive activities. The desire to commit sinful actions continues in their hearts due to ignorance. These sinful actions are divided into three categories—<i>pātaka, mahā-pātaka</i> and <i>atipātaka</i>—and also into two divisions: <i>prārabdha</i> and <i>aprārabdha.</i> <i>Prārabdha</i> refers to sinful reactions from which one is suffering at the present, and <i>aprārabdha</i> refers to sources of potential suffering. When the seeds (<i>bīja</i>) of sinful reactions have not yet fructified, the reactions are called <i>aprārabdha.</i> These seeds of sinful action are unseen, but they are unlimited, and no one can trace when they were first planted. Because of <i>prārabdha,</i> sinful reactions that have already fructified, one is seen to have taken birth in a low family or to be suffering from other miseries.",
|
||||
"When one takes to devotional service, however, all phases of sinful life, including <i>prārabdha, aprārabdha</i> and <i>bīja,</i> are vanquished. In <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (11.14.19) Lord Kṛṣṇa tells Uddhava:",
|
||||
"<i>yathāgniḥ susamṛddhārciḥ<br/> karoty edhāṁsi bhasmasāt<br/> tathā mad-viṣayā bhaktir<br/> uddhavaināṁsi kṛtsnaśaḥ</i>",
|
||||
"\"My dear Uddhava, devotional service in relationship with Me is like a blazing fire that can burn to ashes all the fuel of sinful activities supplied to it.\" How devotional service vanquishes the reactions of sinful life is explained in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (3.33.6) in a verse spoken during Lord Kapiladeva's instructions to His mother, Devahūti. Devahūti said:",
|
||||
"<i>yan-nāmadheya-śravaṇānukīrtanād<br/> yat-prahvaṇād yat-smaraṇād api kvacit<br/> śvādo 'pi sadyaḥ savanāya kalpate<br/> kutaḥ punas te bhagavan nu darśanāt</i>",
|
||||
"\"My dear Lord, if even a person born in a family of dog-eaters hears and repeats the chanting of Your glories, offers respects to You and remembers You, he is immediately greater than a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> and is therefore eligible to perform sacrifices. Therefore, what is to be said of one who has seen You directly?\"",
|
||||
"In the <i>Padma Purāṇa</i> there is a statement that persons whose hearts are always attached to the devotional service of Lord Viṣṇu are immediately released from all the reactions of sinful life. These reactions generally exist in four phases. Some of them are ready to produce results immediately, some are in the form of seeds, some are unmanifested, and some are current. All such reactions are immediately nullified by devotional service. When devotional service is present in one's heart, desires to perform sinful activities have no place there. Sinful life is due to ignorance, which means forgetfulness of one's constitutional position as an eternal servant of God, but when one is fully Kṛṣṇa conscious he realizes that he is God's eternal servant.",
|
||||
"In this regard, Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī comments that <i>bhakti</i> may be divided into two divisions: (1) <i>santatā,</i> devotional service that continues incessantly with faith and love, and (2) <i>kādācitkī,</i> devotional service that does not continue incessantly but is sometimes awakened. Incessantly flowing devotional service (<i>santatā</i>) may also be divided into two categories: (1) service performed with slight attachment and (2) spontaneous devotional service. Intermittent devotional service (<i>kādācitkī</i>) may be divided into three categories: (1) <i>rāgābhāsamayī,</i> devotional service in which one is almost attached, (2) <i>rāgābhāsa-śūnya-svarūpa-bhūtā,</i> devotional service in which there is no spontaneous love but one likes the constitutional position of serving, and (3) <i>ābhāsa-rūpā,</i> a slight glimpse of devotional service. As for atonement, if one has caught even a slight glimpse of devotional service, all needs to undergo <i>prāyaścitta,</i> atonement, are superseded. Therefore atonement is certainly unnecessary when one has achieved spontaneous love and, above that, attachment with love, which are signs of increasing advancement in <i>kādācitkī.</i> Even in the stage of <i>ābhāsa-rūpā bhakti,</i> all the reactions of sinful life are uprooted and vanquished. Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī expresses the opinion that the word <i>kārtsnyena</i> means that even if one has a desire to commit sinful actions, the roots of that desire are vanquished merely by <i>ābhāsa-rūpā bhakti.</i> The example of <i>bhāskara,</i> the sun, is most appropriate. The <i>ābhāsa</i> feature of <i>bhakti</i> is compared to twilight, and the accumulation of one's sinful activities is compared to fog. Since fog does not spread throughout the sky, the sun need do no more than merely manifest its first rays, and the fog immediately disappears. Similarly, if one has even a slight relationship with devotional service, all the fog of his sinful life is immediately vanquished."

"<i>Tat-puruṣa</i> refers to a preacher of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, such as the spiritual master. Śrīla Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura has said, <i>chāḍiyā vaiṣṇava-sevā nistāra pāyeche kebā:</i> \"Without serving a bona fide spiritual master, an ideal Vaiṣṇava, who can be delivered from the clutches of <i>māyā</i>?\" This idea is also expressed in many other places. <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (5.5.2) says, <i>mahat-sevāṁ dvāram āhur vimukteḥ:</i> if one desires liberation from the clutches of <i>māyā,</i> one must associate with a pure devotee <i>mahātmā.</i> A <i>mahātmā</i> is one who engages twenty-four hours daily in the loving service of the Lord. As Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (9.13):",
|
||||
"<i>mahātmānas tu māṁ pārtha<br/> daivīṁ prakṛtim āśritāḥ<br/> bhajanty ananya-manaso<br/> jñātvā bhūtādim avyayam</i>",
|
||||
"\"O son of Pṛthā, those who are not deluded, the great souls, are under the protection of the divine nature. They are fully engaged in devotional service because they know Me as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, original and inexhaustible.\" Thus the symptom of a <i>mahātmā</i> is that he has no engagement other than service to Kṛṣṇa. One must render service to a Vaiṣṇava in order to get freed from sinful reactions, revive one's original Kṛṣṇa consciousness and be trained in how to love Kṛṣṇa. This is the result of <i>mahātma-sevā.</i> Of course, if one engages in the service of a pure devotee, the reactions of one's sinful life are vanquished automatically. Devotional service is necessary not to drive away an insignificant stock of sins, but to awaken our dormant love for Kṛṣṇa. As fog is vanquished at the first glimpse of sunlight, one's sinful reactions are automatically vanquished as soon as one begins serving a pure devotee; no separate endeavor is required.",
|
||||
"The word <i>kṛṣṇarpita-prāṇaḥ</i> refers to a devotee who dedicates his life to serving Kṛṣṇa, not to being saved from the path to hellish life. A devotee is <i>nārāyaṇa-parāyaṇa,</i> or <i>vāsudeva-parāyaṇa,</i> which means that the path of Vāsudeva, or the devotional path, is his life and soul. <i>Nārāyaṇa-parāḥ sarve na kutaścana bibhyati</i> (<i>Bhāg.</i> 6.17.28): such a devotee is not afraid of going anywhere. There is a path toward liberation in the higher planetary systems and a path toward the hellish planets, but a <i>nārāyaṇa-para</i> devotee is unafraid wherever he is sent; he simply wants to remember Kṛṣṇa, wherever he may be. Such a devotee is unconcerned with hell and heaven; he is simply attached to rendering service to Kṛṣṇa. When a devotee is put into hellish conditions, he accepts them as Kṛṣṇa's mercy: <i>tat te 'nukampāṁ susamīkṣamāṇaḥ</i> (<i>Bhāg.</i> 10.14.8). He does not protest, \"Oh, I am such a great devotee of Kṛṣṇa. Why have I been put into this misery?\" Instead he thinks, \"This is Kṛṣṇa's mercy.\" Such an attitude is possible for a devotee who engages in the service of Kṛṣṇa's representative. This is the secret of success."

As confirmed here by the word <i>sadhrīcīnaḥ, bhakti</i> is the path that is appropriate, not the paths of <i>karma-kāṇḍa</i> and <i>jñāna-kāṇḍa.</i> Māyāvādīs may be <i>suśīlāḥ sādhavaḥ</i> (well-behaved saintly persons), but there is nevertheless some doubt about whether they are actually making progress, for they have not accepted the path of <i>bhakti.</i> On the other hand, those who follow the path of the <i>ācāryas</i> are <i>suśīlāḥ</i> and <i>sādhavaḥ,</i> but furthermore their path is <i>akuto-bhaya,</i> which means free from fear. One should fearlessly follow the twelve <i>mahājanas</i> and their line of disciplic succession and thus be liberated from the clutches of <i>māyā.</i>"

"To take advantage of the methods of atonement, one must be at least somewhat devoted; otherwise there is no chance of one's being purified. It is clear from this verse that even those who take advantage of <i>karma-kāṇḍa</i> and <i>jñāna-kāṇḍa,</i> but are not at least slightly devoted cannot be purified simply by following these other paths. The word <i>prāyaścittāni</i> is plural in number to indicate both <i>karma-kāṇḍa</i> and <i>jñāna-kāṇḍa.</i> Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura therefore says, <i>karma-kāṇḍa, jñāna-kāṇḍa, kevala viṣera bhāṇḍa.</i> Thus Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura compares the paths of <i>karma-kāṇḍa</i> and <i>jñāna-kāṇḍa</i> to pots of poison. Liquor and poison are in the same category. According to this verse from <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam,</i> a person who has heard a good deal about the path of devotional service, but who is not attached to it, who is not Kṛṣṇa conscious, is like a pot of liquor. Such a person cannot be purified without at least a slight touch of devotional service."

"purport": [

"Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (18.66):",
|
||||
"<i>sarva-dharmān parityajya<br/> mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja<br/> ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo<br/> mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ</i>",
|
||||
"\"Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear.\" This same principle is described here (<i>sakṛn manaḥ kṛṣṇa-padāravindayoḥ</i>). If by studying <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> one decides to surrender to Kṛṣṇa, he is immediately freed from all sinful reactions. It is also significant that Śukadeva Gosvāmī, having several times repeated the words <i>vāsudeva-parāyaṇa</i> and <i>nārāyaṇa-parāyaṇa,</i> finally says <i>kṛṣṇa-padāravindayoḥ.</i> Thus he indicates that Kṛṣṇa is the origin of both Nārāyaṇa and Vāsudeva. Even though Nārāyaṇa and Vāsudeva are not different from Kṛṣṇa, simply by surrendering to Kṛṣṇa one fully surrenders to all His expansions, such as Nārāyaṇa, Vāsudeva and Govinda. As Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (7.7), <i>mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat:</i> \"There is no truth superior to Me.\" There are many names and forms of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but Kṛṣṇa is the supreme form (<i>kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam</i>). Therefore Kṛṣṇa recommends to neophyte devotees that one should surrender unto Him only (<i>mām ekam</i>). Because neophyte devotees cannot understand what the forms of Nārāyaṇa, Vāsudeva and Govinda are, Kṛṣṇa directly says, <i>mām ekam.</i> Herein, this is also supported by the word <i>kṛṣṇa-padāravindayoḥ.</i> Nārāyaṇa does not speak personally, but Kṛṣṇa or Vāsudeva does, as in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> for example. Therefore, to follow the direction of <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> means to surrender unto Kṛṣṇa, and to surrender in this way is the highest perfection of <i>bhakti-yoga.</i>",
|
||||
"Parīkṣit Mahārāja had inquired from Śukadeva Gosvāmī how one can be saved from falling into the various conditions of hellish life. In this verse Śukadeva Gosvāmī answers that a soul who has surrendered to Kṛṣṇa certainly cannot go to <i>naraka,</i> hellish existence. To say nothing of going there, even in his dreams he does not see Yamarāja or his order carriers, who are able to take one there. In other words, if one wants to save himself from falling into <i>naraka,</i> hellish life, he should fully surrender to Kṛṣṇa. The word <i>sakṛt</i> is significant because it indicates that if one sincerely surrenders to Kṛṣṇa once, he is saved even if by chance he falls down by committing sinful activities. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (9.30):",
|
||||
"<i>api cet sudurācāro<br/> bhajate mām ananya-bhāk<br/> sādhur eva sa mantavyaḥ<br/> samyag vyavasito hi saḥ</i>",
|
||||
"\"Even if one commits the most abominable actions, if he is engaged in devotional service he is to be considered saintly because he is properly situated.\" If one never for a moment forgets Kṛṣṇa, he is safe even if by chance he falls down by committing sinful acts.",
|
||||
"In the Second Chapter of <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (2.40) the Lord also says:",
|
||||
"<i>nehābhikrama-nāśo 'sti<br/> pratyavāyo na vidyate<br/> svalpam apy asya dharmasya<br/> trāyate mahato bhayāt</i>",
|
||||
"\"In this endeavor there is no loss or diminution, and a little advancement on this path can protect one from the most dangerous type of fear.\"",
|
||||
"Elsewhere in the <i>Gītā</i> (6.40) the Lord says, <i>na hi kalyāṇa-kṛt kaścid durgatiṁ tāta gacchati:</i> \"One who performs auspicious activity is never overcome by evil.\" The highest <i>kalyāṇa</i> (auspicious) activity is to surrender to Kṛṣṇa. That is the only path by which to save oneself from falling down into hellish life. Śrīla Prabodhānanda Sarasvatī has confirmed this as follows:",
|
||||
"<i>kaivalyaṁ narakāyate tri-daśa-pūr ākāśa-puṣpāyate<br/> durdāntendriya-kāla-sarpa-paṭalī protkhāta-daṁṣṭrāyate<br/> viśvaṁ pūrṇa-sukhāyate vidhi-mahendrādiś ca kīṭāyate<br/> yat-kāruṇya-kaṭākṣa-vaibhavavatāṁ taṁ gauram eva stumaḥ<br/> </i>[<i>Caitanya-candrāmṛta 5</i>]",
|
||||
"The sinful actions of one who has surrendered unto Kṛṣṇa are compared to a snake with its poison fangs removed (<i>protkhāta-daṁṣṭrāyate</i>). Such a snake is no longer to be feared. Of course, one should not commit sinful activities on the strength of having surrendered to Kṛṣṇa. However, even if one who has surrendered to Kṛṣṇa happens to do something sinful because of his former habits, such sinful actions no longer have a destructive effect. Therefore one should adhere to the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa very tightly and serve Him under the direction of the spiritual master. Thus in all conditions one will be <i>akuto-bhaya,</i> free from fear."

"\"In this age of quarrel and hypocrisy the only means of deliverance is chanting the holy name of the Lord. There is no other way. There is no other way. There is no other way.\" The process of chanting the holy name of the Lord is always superbly effective, but it is especially effective in this age of Kali. Its practical effectiveness will now be explained by Śukadeva Gosvāmī through the history of Ajāmila, who was freed from the hands of the Yamadūtas simply because of chanting the holy name of Nārāyaṇa. Parīkṣit Mahārāja's original question was how to be freed from falling down into hell or into the hands of the Yamadūtas. In reply, Śukadeva Gosvāmī is citing this old historical example to convince Parīkṣit Mahārāja of the potency of <i>bhakti-yoga,</i> which begins simply with the chanting of the Lord's name. All the great authorities of <i>bhakti-yoga</i> recommend the devotional process beginning with the chanting of the holy name of Kṛṣṇa (<i>tan-nāma-grahaṇādibhiḥ</i>)."

"This verse indicates how degraded one becomes simply by indulging in illicit sex with a prostitute. Illicit sex is not possible with a chaste or aristocratic woman, but only with unchaste <i>śūdras.</i> The more society allows prostitution and illicit sex, the more impetus it gives to cheaters, thieves, plunderers, drunkards and gamblers. Therefore we first advise all the disciples in our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement to avoid illicit sex, which is the beginning of all abominable life and which is followed by meat-eating, gambling and intoxication, one after another. Of course, restraint is very difficult, but it is quite possible if one fully surrenders to Kṛṣṇa, since all these abominable habits gradually become distasteful for a Kṛṣṇa conscious person. If illicit sex is allowed to increase in a society, however, the entire society will be condemned, for it will be full of rogues, thieves, cheaters and so forth."

After that one should give up the habit of sex life and leave home as a <i>vānaprastha</i> and then properly take <i>sannyāsa.</i> Ajāmila, however, because of his association with a prostitute, lost all brahminical culture and became most sinful, even in his so-called household life."

Since the old man was very attached to the child, he enjoyed the child's activities, and because the child's name was Nārāyaṇa, the old man always chanted the holy name of Nārāyaṇa. Although he was referring to the small child and not to the original Nārāyaṇa, the name of Nārāyaṇa is so powerful that even by chanting his son's name he was becoming purified (<i>harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam</i>). Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī has therefore declared that if one's mind is somehow or other attracted by the holy name of Kṛṣṇa (<i>tasmāt kenāpy upāyena manaḥ kṛṣṇe niveśayet</i>), one is on the path of liberation. It is customary in Hindu society for parents to give their children names like Kṛṣṇadāsa, Govinda dāsa, Nārāyaṇa dāsa and Vṛndāvana dāsa. Thus they chant the names Kṛṣṇa, Govinda, Nārāyaṇa and Vṛndāvana and get the chance to be purified."

Ajāmila, however, did not glorify the form, qualities or paraphernalia of the Lord; he simply chanted the holy name. Nevertheless, that chanting was sufficient to cleanse him of all sinful activities. As soon as the Viṣṇudūtas heard their master's name being chanted, they immediately came.

"Materialistic scientists do not know where to find the soul within the body with their material instruments, but this verse clearly explains that the soul is within the core of the heart (<i>hṛdaya</i>); it is from the heart that the Yamadūtas were extracting the soul of Ajāmila. Similarly, we learn that the Supersoul, Lord Viṣṇu, is also situated within the heart (<i>īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati</i>). In the <i>Upaniṣads</i> it is said that the Supersoul and the individual soul are living in the same tree of the body as two friendly birds. The Supersoul is said to be friendly because the Supreme Personality of Godhead is so kind to the original soul that when the original soul transmigrates from one body to another, the Lord goes with him. Furthermore, according to the desire and <i>karma</i> of the individual soul, the Lord, through the agency of <i>māyā,</i> creates another body for him.",

"\"The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone's heart, O Arjuna, and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine, made of the material energy.\" <i>Yantra</i> means a machine, such as an automobile. The driver of the machine of the body is the individual soul, who is also its director or proprietor, but the supreme proprietor is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. One's body is created through the agency of <i>māyā</i> (<i>karmaṇā daiva-netreṇa</i>), and according to one's activities in this life, another vehicle is created, again under the supervision of <i>daivī māyā</i> (<i>daivī hy eṣā guṇamayī mama māyā duratyayā</i>). At the appropriate time, one's next body is immediately chosen, and both the individual soul and the Supersoul transfer to that particular bodily machine. This is the process of transmigration. During transmigration from one body to the next, the soul is taken away by the order carriers of Yamarāja and put into a particular type of hellish life (<i>naraka</i>) in order to become accustomed to the condition in which he will live in his next body."

"The most significant word used in this verse is <i>siddha-sattamāḥ,</i> which means \"the best of the perfect.\" In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (<i>7.3</i>) it is said, <i>manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu kaścid yatati siddhaye:</i> out of millions of persons, one may try to become <i>siddha,</i> perfect—or, in other words, self-realized. A self-realized person knows that he is not the body but a spiritual soul (<i>ahaṁ brahmāsmi</i>). At the present moment practically everyone is unaware of this fact, but one who understands this has attained perfection and is therefore called <i>siddha.</i> When one understands that the soul is part and parcel of the supreme soul and one thus engages in the devotional service of the supreme soul, one becomes <i>siddha-sat-tama.</i> One is then eligible to live in the Vaikuṇṭha planets or Kṛṣṇaloka. The word <i>siddha-sattama,</i> therefore, refers to a liberated, pure devotee.",
|
||||
"Since the Yamadūtas are servants of Yamarāja, who is also one of the <i>siddha-sattamas,</i> they knew that a <i>siddha-sattama</i> is above the demigods and sub-demigods and, indeed, above all the living entities within this material world. The Yamadūtas therefore inquired why the Viṣṇudūtas were present where a sinful man was going to die.",
|
||||
"It should also be noted that Ajāmila was not yet dead, for the Yamadūtas were trying to snatch the soul from his heart. They could not take the soul, however, and therefore Ajāmila was not yet dead. This will be revealed in later verses. Ajāmila was simply in an unconscious state when the argument was in progress between the Yamadūtas and the Viṣṇudūtas. The conclusion of the argument was to be a decision regarding who would claim the soul of Ajāmila."

"Before even being introduced to a foreigner, one becomes acquainted with him through his dress, bodily features and behavior and can thus understand his position. Therefore when the Yamadūtas saw the Viṣṇudūtas for the first time, they were surprised. They said, \"By your bodily features you appear to be very exalted gentlemen, and you have such celestial power that you have dissipated the darkness of this material world with your own effulgences. Why then should you endeavor to stop us from executing our duty?\" It will be explained that the Yamadūtas, the order carriers of Yamarāja, mistakenly considered Ajāmila sinful. They did not know that although he was sinful throughout his entire life, he was purified by constantly chanting the holy name of Nārāyaṇa. In other words, unless one is a Vaiṣṇava, one cannot understand the activities of a Vaiṣṇava.",
|

"The dress and bodily features of the residents of Vaikuṇṭhaloka are properly described in these verses. The residents of Vaikuṇṭha, who are decorated with garlands and yellow silken garments, have four arms holding various weapons. Thus they conspicuously resemble Lord Viṣṇu. They have the same bodily features as Nārāyaṇa because they have attained the liberation of <i>sārūpya,</i> but they nevertheless act as servants. All the residents of Vaikuṇṭhaloka know perfectly well that their master is Nārāyaṇa, or Kṛṣṇa, and that they are all His servants. They are all self-realized souls who are <i>nitya-mukta,</i> everlastingly liberated. Although they could conceivably declare themselves Nārāyaṇa or Viṣṇu, they never do so; they always remain Kṛṣṇa conscious and serve the Lord faithfully. Such is the atmosphere of Vaikuṇṭhaloka. Similarly, one who learns the faithful service of Lord Kṛṣṇa through the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement will always remain in Vaikuṇṭhaloka and have nothing to do with the material world."

"This inquiry by the Viṣṇudūtas to the Yamadūtas is most important. A servant must know the instructions of his master. The servants of Yamarāja claimed to be carrying out his orders, and therefore the Viṣṇudūtas very intelligently asked them to explain the symptoms of religious and irreligious principles. A Vaiṣṇava knows these principles perfectly well because he is well acquainted with the instructions of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Supreme Lord says, <i>sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja:</i> \"Give up all other varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me.\" Therefore surrender unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the actual principle of religion. Those who have surrendered to the principles of material nature instead of to Kṛṣṇa are all impious, regardless of their material position. Unaware of the principles of religion, they do not surrender to Kṛṣṇa, and therefore they are considered sinful rascals, the lowest of men, and fools bereft of all knowledge. As Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (7.15):",
|
||||
"<i>na māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ<br/> prapadyante narādhamāḥ<br/> māyayāpahṛta-jñānā<br/> āsuraṁ bhāvam āśritāḥ</i>",
|
||||
"\"Those miscreants who are grossly foolish, lowest among mankind, whose knowledge is stolen by illusion, and who partake of the atheistic nature of demons, do not surrender unto Me.\" One who has not surrendered to Kṛṣṇa does not know the true principle of religion; otherwise he would have surrendered.",
|
||||
"The question posed by the Viṣṇudūtas was very suitable. One who represents someone else must fully know that person's mission. The devotees in the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement must therefore be fully aware of the mission of Kṛṣṇa and Lord Caitanya; otherwise they will be considered foolish. All devotees, especially preachers, must know the philosophy of Kṛṣṇa consciousness so as not to be embarrassed and insulted when they preach."

"One who has the power to punish others should not punish everyone. There are innumerable living entities, the majority of whom are in the spiritual world and are <i>nitya-mukta,</i> everlastingly liberated. There is no question of judging these liberated living beings. Only a small fraction of the living entities, perhaps one fourth, are in the material world. And the major portion of the living entities in the material world—8,000,000 of the 8,400,000 forms of life—are lower than human beings. They are not punishable, for under the laws of material nature they are automatically evolving. Human beings, who are advanced in consciousness, are responsible, but not all of them are punishable. Those engaged in advanced pious activities are beyond punishment. Only those who engage in sinful activities are punishable. Therefore the Viṣṇudūtas particularly inquired about who is punishable and why Yamarāja has been designated to discriminate between who is punishable and who is not. How is one to be judged? What is the basic principle of authority? These are the questions raised by the Viṣṇudūtas."

"The servants of Yamarāja replied quite properly. They did not manufacture principles of religion or irreligion. Instead, they explained what they had heard from the authority Yamarāja. <i>Mahājano yena gataḥ sa panthāḥ:</i> one should follow the <i>mahājana,</i> the authorized person. Yamarāja is one of twelve authorities. Therefore the servants of Yamarāja, the Yamadūtas, replied with perfect clarity when they said <i>śuśruma</i> (\"we have heard\"). The members of modern civilization manufacture defective religious principles through speculative concoction. This is not <i>dharma.</i> They do not know what is <i>dharma</i> and what is <i>adharma.</i> Therefore, as stated in the beginning of <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, dharmaḥ projjhita-kaitavo 'tra:</i> <i>dharma</i> not supported by the <i>Vedas</i> is rejected from <i>śrīmad-bhāgavata-dharma.</i> <i>Bhāgavata-dharma</i> comprises only that which is given by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. <i>Bhāgavata-dharma</i> is <i>sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja:</i> one must accept the authority of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and surrender to Him and whatever He says. That is <i>dharma.</i> Arjuna, for example, thinking that violence was <i>adharma,</i> was declining to fight, but Kṛṣṇa urged him to fight. Arjuna abided by the orders of Kṛṣṇa, and therefore he is actually a <i>dharmī</i> because the order of Kṛṣṇa is <i>dharma.</i> Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (15.15), <i>vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ:</i> \"The real purpose of <i>veda,</i> knowledge, is to know Me.\" One who knows Kṛṣṇa perfectly is liberated. As Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.9):",
|
||||
"<i>janma karma ca me divyam<br/> evaṁ yo vetti tattvataḥ<br/> tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma<br/> naiti mām eti so 'rjuna</i>",
|
||||
"\"One who knows the transcendental nature of My appearance and activities does not, upon leaving the body, take his birth again in this material world, but attains My eternal abode, O Arjuna.\" One who understands Kṛṣṇa and abides by His order is a candidate for returning home, back to Godhead. It may be concluded that <i>dharma,</i> religion, refers to that which is ordered in the <i>Vedas,</i> and <i>adharma,</i> irreligion, refers to that which is not supported in the <i>Vedas.</i>",
|
||||
"<i>Dharma</i> is not actually manufactured by Nārāyaṇa. As stated in the <i>Vedas, asya mahato bhūtasya niśvasitam etad yad ṛg-vedaḥ iti:</i> the injunctions of <i>dharma</i> emanate from the breathing of Nārāyaṇa, the supreme living entity. Nārāyaṇa exists eternally and breathes eternally, and therefore <i>dharma,</i> the injunctions of Nārāyaṇa, also exist eternally. Śrīla Madhvācārya, the original <i>ācārya</i> for those who belong to the Mādhva-Gauḍīya-sampradāya, says:",
|
||||
"<i>vedānāṁ prathamo vaktā<br/> harir eva yato vibhuḥ<br/> ato viṣṇv-ātmakā vedā<br/> ity āhur veda-vādinaḥ</i>",
|
||||
"The transcendental words of the <i>Vedas</i> emanated from the mouth of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore the Vedic principles should be understood to be Vaiṣṇava principles because Viṣṇu is the origin of the <i>Vedas.</i> The <i>Vedas</i> contain nothing besides the instructions of Viṣṇu, and one who follows the Vedic principles is a Vaiṣṇava. The Vaiṣṇava is not a member of a manufactured community of this material world. A Vaiṣṇava is a real knower of the <i>Vedas,</i> as confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (<i>vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ</i>)."

"The members of some religious sects, especially Christians, do not believe in the reactions of <i>karma.</i> We once had a discussion with a learned Christian professor who argued that although people are generally punished after the witnesses of their misdeeds are examined, where are the witnesses responsible for one's suffering the reactions of past <i>karma</i>? To such a person the answer by the Yamadūtas is given here. A conditioned soul thinks that he is working stealthily and that no one can see his sinful activities, but we can understand from the <i>śāstras</i> that there are many witnesses, including the sun, fire, sky, air, moon, demigods, evening, day, night, directions, water, land and the Supersoul Himself, who sits with the individual soul within his heart. Where is the dearth of witnesses? The witnesses and the Supreme Lord both exist, and therefore so many living entities are elevated to higher planetary systems or degraded to lower planetary systems, including the hellish planets. There are no discrepancies, for everything is arranged perfectly by the management of the Supreme God (<i>svābhāvikī jñāna-bala-kriyā ca</i>). The witnesses mentioned in this verse are also mentioned in other Vedic literatures:",

"A man engages in sinful activities because he does not know what he did in his past life to get his present materially conditioned body, which is subjected to the threefold miseries. As stated by Ṛṣabhadeva in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (5.5.4), <i>nūnaṁ pramattaḥ kurute vikarma:</i> a human being who is mad after sense gratification does not hesitate to act sinfully. <i>Yad indriya-prītaya āpṛṇoti:</i> he performs sinful actions simply for sense gratification. <i>Na sādhu manye:</i> this is not good. <i>Yata ātmano 'yam asann api kleśada āsa dehaḥ:</i> because of such sinful actions, one receives another body in which to suffer as he is suffering in his present body because of his past sinful activities.",
|
||||
"It should be understood that a person who does not have Vedic knowledge always acts in ignorance of what he has done in the past, what he is doing at the present and how he will suffer in the future. He is completely in darkness. Therefore the Vedic injunction is, <i>tamasi mā:</i> \"Don't remain in darkness.\" <i>Jyotir gama:</i> \"Try to go to the light.\" The light or illumination is Vedic knowledge, which one can understand when he is elevated to the mode of goodness or when he transcends the mode of goodness by engaging in devotional service to the spiritual master and the Supreme Lord. This is described in the <i>Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad</i> (6.23):",
|
||||
"<i>yasya deve parā bhaktir<br/> yathā deve tathā gurau<br/> tasyaite kathitā hy arthāḥ<br/> prakāśante mahātmanaḥ</i>",
|
||||
"\"Unto those great souls who have implicit faith in both the Lord and the spiritual master, all the imports of Vedic knowledge are automatically revealed.\" The <i>Vedas</i> enjoin, <i>tad-vijñānārthaṁ sa gurum evābhigacchet: </i>one must approach a spiritual master who has full knowledge of the <i>Vedas</i> and be faithfully directed by him in order to become a devotee of the Lord. Then the knowledge of the <i>Vedas</i> will be revealed. When the Vedic knowledge is revealed, one need no longer remain in the darkness of material nature.",
|
||||
"According to his association with the material modes of nature—goodness, passion and ignorance—a living entity gets a particular type of body. The example of one who associates with the mode of goodness is a qualified <i>brāhmaṇa.</i> Such a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> knows past, present and future because he consults the Vedic literature and sees through the eyes of <i>śāstra</i> (<i>śāstra-cakṣuḥ</i>). He can understand what his past life was, why he is in the present body, and how he can obtain liberation from the clutches of <i>māyā</i> and not accept another material body. This is all possible when one is situated in the mode of goodness. Generally, however, the living entities are engrossed in the modes of passion and ignorance.",
|
||||
"In any case, one receives an inferior or superior body at the discretion of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Paramātmā. As stated in the previous verse:",
|
||||
"<i>manasaiva pure devaḥ<br/> pūrva-rūpaṁ vipaśyati<br/> anumīmāṁsate 'pūrvaṁ<br/> manasā bhagavān ajaḥ</i>",
|
||||
"Everything depends on <i>bhagavān,</i> or <i>ajaḥ,</i> the unborn. Why doesn't one please Bhagavān to receive a better body? The answer is <i>ajñas tamasā:</i> because of gross ignorance. One who is in complete darkness cannot know what his past life was or what his next life will be; he is simply interested in his present body. Even though he has a human body, a person in the mode of ignorance and interested only in his present body is like an animal, for an animal, being covered by ignorance, thinks that the ultimate goal of life and happiness is to eat as much as possible. A human being must be educated to understand his past life and how he can endeavor for a better life in the future. There is even a book, called <i>Bhṛgu-saṁhitā,</i> which reveals information about one's past, present and future lives according to astrological calculations. Somehow or other one must be enlightened about his past, present and future. One who is interested only in his present body and who tries to enjoy his senses to the fullest extent is understood to be engrossed in the mode of ignorance. His future is very, very dark. Indeed, the future is always dark for one who is grossly covered by ignorance. Especially in this age, human society is covered by the mode of ignorance, and therefore everyone thinks his present body to be everything, without consideration of the past or future."

Because of disobeying the Supreme Lord, one is put into material conditions, and he then tries to improve his situation in a concocted way, not desiring to follow the instructions of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Nevertheless, the Supreme Lord is so kind that He comes Himself to instruct the bewildered living entity how to act obediently and then gradually return home, back to Godhead, where he can attain an eternal, peaceful life of bliss and knowledge. The living entity has a body, which is a very complicated combination of the material elements, and with this body he struggles alone, as indicated in this verse by the words <i>ekas tu.</i> For example, if one is struggling in the ocean, he must swim through it alone. Although many other men and aquatics are swimming in the ocean, he must take care of himself because no one else will help him. Therefore this verse indicates that the seventeenth item, the soul, must work alone. Although he tries to create society, friendship and love, no one will be able to help him but Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Lord. Therefore his only concern should be how to satisfy Kṛṣṇa. That is also what Kṛṣṇa wants (<i>sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja</i>). People bewildered by material conditions try to be united, but although they strive for unity among men and nations, all their attempts are futile. Everyone must struggle alone for existence with the many elements of nature. Therefore one's only hope, as Kṛṣṇa advises, is to surrender to Him, for He can help one become free from the ocean of nescience. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu therefore prayed:",

"The <i>svābhāvika,</i> or one's natural tendency, is the most important factor in action. One's natural tendency is to serve because a living entity is an eternal servant of God. The living entity wants to serve, but because of his forgetfulness of his relationship with the Supreme Lord, he serves under the modes of material nature and manufactures various modes of service, such as socialism, humanitarianism and altruism. However, one should be enlightened in the tenets of <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> and accept the instruction of the Supreme Personality of Godhead that one give up all natural tendencies for material service under different names and take to the service of the Lord. One's original natural tendency is to act in Kṛṣṇa consciousness because one's real nature is spiritual. The duty of a human being is to understand that since he is essentially spirit, he must abide by the spiritual tendency and not be carried away by material tendencies. Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has therefore sung:",

Sometimes you are drowning in the waves of material nature, and sometimes you are tossed like a swimmer struggling in the ocean.\" As confirmed by Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura, this tendency to be battered by the waves of <i>māyā</i> can be changed to one's original, natural tendency, which is spiritual, when the living entity comes to understand that he is eternally <i>kṛṣṇa-dāsa,</i> a servant of God, Kṛṣṇa.",

If one returns to his original, natural tendency in the human form of life by understanding the perfect knowledge given by Kṛṣṇa Himself in the Vedic literature, one's life is successful."

"The gross body is a product of the subtle body. As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (8.6):",

"\"Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, that state he will attain without fail.\" The atmosphere of the subtle body at the time of death is created by the activities of the gross body. Thus the gross body acts during one's lifetime, and the subtle body acts at the time of death. The subtle body, which is called <i>liṅga,</i> the body of desire, is the background for the development of a particular type of gross body, which is either like that of one's mother or like that of one's father. According to the <i>Ṛg Veda,</i> if at the time of sex the secretions of the mother are more profuse than those of the father, the child will receive a female body, and if the secretions of the father are more profuse than those of the mother, the child will receive a male body. These are the subtle laws of nature, which act according to the desire of the living entity. If a human being is taught to change his subtle body by developing a consciousness of Kṛṣṇa, at the time of death the subtle body will create a gross body in which he will be a devotee of Kṛṣṇa, or if he is still more perfect, he will not take another material body but will immediately get a spiritual body and thus return home, back to Godhead. This is the process of the transmigration of the soul. Therefore instead of trying to unite human society through pacts for sense gratification that can never be achieved, it is clearly desirable to teach people how to become Kṛṣṇa conscious and return home, back to Godhead. This is true now and, indeed, at any time."

"The word <i>prakṛti</i> means material nature, and <i>puruṣa</i> may also refer to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If one wants to continue his association with <i>prakṛti,</i> the female energy of Kṛṣṇa, and be separated from Kṛṣṇa by the illusion that he is able to enjoy <i>prakṛti,</i> he must continue in his conditional life. If he changes his consciousness, however, and associates with the supreme, original person (<i>puruṣaṁ śāśvatam</i>), or with His associates, he can get out of the entanglement of material nature. As confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.9), <i>janma karma ca me divyam evaṁ yo vetti tattvataḥ:</i> one must simply understand the Supreme Person, Kṛṣṇa, in terms of His form, name, activities and pastimes. This will keep one always in the association of Kṛṣṇa. <i>Tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti so'rjuna:</i> thus after giving up his gross material body, one accepts not another gross body but a spiritual body in which to return home, back to Godhead. Thus one ends the tribulation caused by his association with the material energy. In summary, the living entity is an eternal servant of God, but he comes to the material world and is bound by material conditions because of his desire to lord it over matter. Liberation means giving up this false consciousness and reviving one's original service to the Lord. This return to one's original life is called <i>mukti,</i> as confirmed in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam </i>(<i>muktir hitvānyathā rūpaṁ svarūpeṇa vyavasthitiḥ</i>)."

Firmly established in executing all the Vedic injunctions, he was very mild and gentle, and he kept his mind and senses under control. Furthermore, he was always truthful, he knew how to chant the Vedic mantras, and he was also very pure. Ajāmila was very respectful to his spiritual master, the fire-god, guests, and the elderly members of his household. Indeed, he was free from false prestige.

"The order carriers of Yamarāja, the Yamadūtas, are explaining the factual position of piety and impiety and how a living entity is entangled in this material world. Describing the history of Ajāmila's life, the Yamadūtas relate that in the beginning he was a learned scholar of the Vedic literature. He was well behaved, neat and clean, and very kind to everyone. In fact, he had all good qualities. In other words, he was like a perfect <i>brāhmaṇa.</i> A <i>brāhmaṇa</i> is expected to be perfectly pious, to follow all the regulative principles and to have all good qualities. The symptoms of piety are explained in these verses. Śrīla Vīrarāghava Ācārya comments that <i>dhṛta-vrata</i> means <i>dhṛtaṁ vrataṁ strī-saṅga-rāhityātmaka-brahmacarya-rūpam.</i> In other words, Ajāmila followed the rules and regulations of celibacy as a perfect <i>brahmacārī</i> and was very softhearted, truthful, clean and pure. How he fell down in spite of all these qualities and thus came to be threatened with punishment by Yamarāja will be described in the following verses."

On the way home, he came upon a śūdra, a very lusty, fourth-class man, who was shamelessly embracing and kissing a prostitute. The śūdra was smiling, singing and enjoying as if this were proper behavior. Both the śūdra and the prostitute were drunk. The prostitute's eyes were rolling in intoxication, and her dress had become loose. Such was the condition in which Ajāmila saw them.</b>",

"While traveling along the public way, Ajāmila came upon a fourth-class man and a prostitute, who are vividly described here. Drunkenness was sometimes manifest even in bygone ages, although not very frequently. In this age of Kali, however, such sin is to be seen everywhere, for people all over the world have become shameless. Long ago, when he saw the scene of the drunken <i>śūdra</i> and the prostitute, Ajāmila, who was a perfect <i>brahmacārī,</i> was affected. Nowadays such sin is visible in so many places, and we must consider the position of a <i>brahmacārī</i> student who sees such behavior. For such a <i>brahmacārī</i> to remain steady is very difficult unless he is extremely strong in following the regulative principles. Nevertheless, if one takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness very seriously, he can withstand the provocation created by sin. In our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement we prohibit illicit sex, intoxication, meat-eating and gambling. In Kali-yuga, a drunk, half-naked woman embracing a drunk man is a very common sight, especially in the Western countries, and restraining oneself after seeing such things is very difficult. Nevertheless, if by the grace of Kṛṣṇa one adheres to the regulative principles and chants the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mantra,</i> Kṛṣṇa will certainly protect him. Indeed, Kṛṣṇa says that His devotee is never vanquished (<i>kaunteya pratijānīhi na me bhaktaḥ praṇaśyati</i>). Therefore all the disciples practicing Kṛṣṇa consciousness should obediently follow the regulative principles and remain fixed in chanting the holy name of the Lord. Then there need be no fear. Otherwise one's position is very dangerous, especially in this Kali-yuga."

"By speaking this verse, Śukadeva Gosvāmī wants to impress upon the mind of the reader that Ajāmila's exalted position as a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> was vanquished by his association with the prostitute, so much so that he forgot all his brahminical activities. Nevertheless, at the end of his life, by chanting the four syllables of the name Nārāyaṇa, he was saved from the gravest danger of falling down. <i>Svalpam apy asya dharmasya trāyate mahato bhayāt:</i> even a little devotional service can save one from the greatest danger. Devotional service, which begins with chanting of the holy name of the Lord, is so powerful that even if one falls down from the exalted position of a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> through sexual indulgence, he can be saved from all calamities if he somehow or other chants the holy name of the Lord. This is the extraordinary power of the Lord's holy name. Therefore in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> it is advised that one not forget the chanting of the holy name even for a moment (<i>satataṁ kīrtayanto māṁ yatantaś ca dṛḍha-vratāḥ</i>). There are so many dangers in this material world that one may fall down from an exalted position at any time. Yet if one keeps himself always pure and steady by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mahā-mantra,</i> he will be safe without a doubt."

Therefore illicit sex is strictly prohibited. One should be satisfied with his married wife, for even a slight deviation will create havoc. A Kṛṣṇa conscious <i>gṛhastha</i> should always remember this. He should always be satisfied with one wife and be peaceful simply by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mantra.</i> Otherwise at any moment he may fall down from his good position, as exemplified in the case of Ajāmila."

"In human society, properly maintaining religious principles is the duty of the king's court or the government. Unfortunately, in this <i>yuga,</i> Kali-yuga, the religious principles are tampered with, and the government cannot properly judge who is to be punished and who is not. It is said that in the Kali-yuga if one cannot spend money in court, one cannot get justice. Indeed, in courts of justice it is often found that magistrates are bribed for favorable judgments. Sometimes religious men who preach the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement for the benefit of the entire populace are arrested and harassed by the police and courts. The Viṣṇudūtas, who are Vaiṣṇavas, lamented for these very regrettable facts. Because of their spiritual compassion for all the fallen souls, Vaiṣṇavas go out to preach according to the standard method of all religious principles, but unfortunately, because of the influence of Kali-yuga, Vaiṣṇavas who have dedicated their lives to preaching the glories of the Lord are sometimes harassed and punished by courts on false charges of disturbing the peace."

"The king, or in modern times the government, should act as the guardian of the citizens by teaching them the proper goal of life. The human form of life is especially meant for realization of one's self and one's relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead because this cannot be realized in animal life. The duty of the government, therefore, is to take charge of training all the citizens in such a way that by a gradual process they will be elevated to the spiritual platform and will realize the self and his relationship with God. This principle was followed by kings like Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, Mahārāja Parīkṣit, Lord Rāmacandra, Mahārāja Ambarīṣa and Prahlāda Mahārāja. The leaders of the government must be very honest and religious because otherwise all the affairs of the state will suffer. Unfortunately, in the name of democracy, rogues and thieves are electing other rogues and thieves to the most important posts in the government. Recently this has been proven in America, where the president had to be condemned and dragged down from his post by the citizens. This is only one case, but there are many others. Because of the importance of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, people should be Kṛṣṇa conscious and should not vote for anyone who is not Kṛṣṇa conscious. Then there will be actual peace and prosperity in the state. When a Vaiṣṇava sees mismanagement in the government, he feels great compassion in his heart and tries his best to purify the situation by spreading the Hare Kṛṣṇa movement."

"The Sanskrit word <i>viśvasta-ghāta</i> refers to one who breaks faith or causes a breach of trust. The mass of people should always feel security because of the government's protection. Therefore, how regrettable it is for the government itself to cause a breach of trust and put the citizens in difficulty for political reasons. We actually saw during the partition days in India that although Hindus and Muslims were living together peacefully, manipulation by politicians suddenly aroused feelings of hatred between them, and thus the Hindus and Muslims killed one another over politics. This is a sign of Kali-yuga. In this age, animals are kept nicely sheltered, completely confident that their masters will protect them, but unfortunately as soon as the animals are fat, they are immediately sent for slaughter. Such cruelty is condemned by Vaiṣṇavas like the Viṣṇudūtas. Indeed, the hellish conditions already described await the sinful men responsible for such suffering. One who betrays the confidence of a living entity who takes shelter of him in good faith, whether that living entity be a human being or an animal, is extremely sinful. Because such betrayals now go unpunished by the government, all of human society is terribly contaminated. The people of this age are therefore described as <i>mandāḥ sumanda-matayo manda-bhāgyā hy upadrutāḥ.</i> As a consequence of such sinfulness, men are condemned (<i>mandāḥ</i>), their intelligence is unclear (<i>sumanda-matayaḥ</i>), they are unfortunate (<i>manda-bhāgyāḥ</i>), and therefore they are always disturbed by many problems (<i>upadrutāḥ</i>). This is their situation in this life, and after death they are punished in hellish conditions."

"Previously, when engaged in sinful activities to maintain his family, Ajāmila chanted the name of Nārāyaṇa without offenses. To chant the holy name of the Lord just to counteract one's sinful activities, or to commit sinful activities on the strength of chanting the holy name, is offensive (<i>nāmno balād yasya hi pāpa-buddhiḥ</i>). But although Ajāmila engaged in sinful activities, he never chanted the holy name of Nārāyaṇa to counteract them; he simply chanted the name Nārāyaṇa to call his son. Therefore his chanting was effective. Because of chanting the holy name of Nārāyaṇa in this way, he had already vanquished the accumulated sinful reactions of many, many lives. In the beginning he was pure, but although he later committed many sinful acts, he was offenseless because he did not chant the holy name of Nārāyaṇa to counteract them. One who always chants the holy name of the Lord without offenses is always pure. As confirmed in this verse Ajāmila was already sinless, and because he chanted the name of Nārāyaṇa he remained sinless. It did not matter that he was calling his son; the name itself was effective."

"Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura comments that the chanting of the holy name of the Lord has special significance that distinguishes it from the Vedic ritualistic ceremonies of atonement for severe, more severe or most severe sinful actions. There are twenty types of religious scriptures called <i>dharma-śāstras,</i> beginning with the <i>Manu-saṁhitā</i> and <i>Parāśara-saṁhitā,</i> but herein it is stressed that although one may become free from the reactions of the most sinful activities by following the religious principles of these scriptures, this cannot promote a sinful man to the stage of loving service to the Lord. On the other hand, chanting the holy name of the Lord even once not only frees one immediately from the reactions of the greatest sins, but also raises one to the platform of rendering loving service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is described as <i>uttamaśloka</i> because He is famous for His glorious activities. Thus one serves the Lord by remembering His form, His attributes and pastimes. Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura explains that this is all possible simply by chanting the Lord's holy name because of the Lord's omnipotence. What cannot be achieved through the performance of Vedic rituals can be easily achieved through the chanting of the Lord's holy name. To chant the holy name and dance in ecstasy is so easy and sublime that one can achieve all the benefits of spiritual life simply by following this process. Therefore Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu declares, <i>paraṁ vijayate śrī-kṛṣṇa-saṅkīrtanam:</i> \"All glories to Śrī Kṛṣṇa <i>saṅkīrtana!</i>\" The <i>saṅkīrtana</i> movement we have started offers the best process for becoming purified of all sinful reactions and coming immediately to the platform of spiritual life."

Therefore simply by such glorification one not only becomes purified, but also achieves the results of pious activities (<i>puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtana</i>). <i>Puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtana</i> refers to the process of devotional service. Even if one does not understand the meaning of the Lord's name, pastimes or attributes, one is purified simply by hearing or chanting of them. Such purification is called <i>sattva-bhāvana.</i>",

"One's main purpose in human life should be to purify his existence and achieve liberation. As long as one has a material body, one is understood to be impure. In such an impure, material condition, one cannot enjoy a truly blissful life, although everyone seeks it. Therefore <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (5.5.1) says, <i>tapo divyaṁ putrakā yena sattvaṁ śuddhyet:</i> one must perform <i>tapasya,</i> austerity, to purify his existence in order to come to the spiritual platform. The <i>tapasya</i> of chanting and glorifying the name, fame and attributes of the Lord is a very easy purifying process by which everyone can be happy. Therefore everyone who desires the ultimate cleansing of his heart must adopt this process. Other processes, such as <i>karma, jñāna</i> and <i>yoga,</i> cannot cleanse the heart absolutely."

"In this regard, Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura describes an incident that took place when Sāmba was rescued from the punishment of the Kauravas. Sāmba fell in love with the daughter of Duryodhana, and since according to <i>kṣatriya</i> custom one is not offered a <i>kṣatriya's</i> daughter unless he displays his chivalrous valor, Sāmba abducted her. Consequently Sāmba was arrested by the Kauravas. Later, when Lord Balarāma came to rescue him, there was an argument about Sāmba's release. Since the argument was not settled, Balarāma showed His power in such a way that all of Hastināpura trembled and would have been vanquished as if by a great earthquake. Then the matter was settled, and Sāmba married Duryodhana's daughter. The purport is that one should take shelter of Kṛṣṇa-Balarāma, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, whose protective power is so great that it cannot be equaled in the material world. However powerful the reactions of one's sins, they will immediately be vanquished if one chants the name of Hari, Kṛṣṇa, Balarāma or Nārāyaṇa."

All desires within this material world are sinful because material desire means sense gratification, which always involves action that is more or less sinful. Pure <i>bhakti,</i> however, is <i>anyābhilāṣitā-śūnya;</i> in other words, it is free from material desires, which result from <i>karma</i> and <i>jñāna.</i> One who is situated in devotional service no longer has material desires, and therefore he is beyond sinful life. Material desires should be completely stopped. Otherwise, although one's austerities, penances and charity may free one from sin for the time being, one's desires will reappear because his heart is impure. Thus he will act sinfully and suffer."

"In the Western countries, where the Hare Kṛṣṇa movement is spreading, learned scholars and other thoughtful men are realizing its effectiveness. For example, Dr. J. Stillson Judah, a learned scholar, has been very much attracted to this movement because he has actually seen that it is turning hippies addicted to drugs into pure Vaiṣṇavas who voluntarily become servants of Kṛṣṇa and humanity. Even a few years ago, such hippies did not know the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mantra,</i> but now they are chanting it and becoming pure Vaiṣṇavas. Thus they are becoming free from all sinful activities, such as illicit sex, intoxication, meat-eating and gambling. This is practical proof of the effectiveness of the Hare Kṛṣṇa movement, which is supported in this verse. One may or may not know the value of chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mantra,</i> but if one somehow or other chants it, he will immediately be purified, just as one who takes a potent medicine will feel its effects, regardless of whether he takes it knowingly or unknowingly."

Because Ajāmila was now free from all sinful reactions, his lifetime was extended, even though he was to have died immediately. When the Viṣṇudūtas saw Ajāmila trying to say something to them, they disappeared to give him a chance to glorify the Supreme Lord. Since all his sinful reactions had been vanquished, he was now prepared to glorify the Lord. Indeed, one cannot glorify the Lord unless one is completely free from all sinful activities. This is confirmed by Kṛṣṇa Himself in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (7.28):",

To increase his eagerness to glorify the Lord, they disappeared so that he would feel separation in their absence. In the mode of separation, glorification of the Lord is very intense."

Be free from all dualities and from all anxieties for gain and safety, and be established in the Self.\" The Vedic principles certainly prescribe a gradual process for rising to the spiritual platform, but if one remains attached to the Vedic principles, there is no chance of his being elevated to spiritual life. Kṛṣṇa therefore advised Arjuna to perform devotional service, which is the process of transcendental religion. The transcendental position of devotional service is also confirmed in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (1.2.6). <i>Sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo yato bhaktir adhokṣaje.</i> <i>Bhakti,</i> devotional service, is <i>paro dharmaḥ,</i> transcendental <i>dharma;</i> it is not material <i>dharma.</i> People generally think that religion should be pursued for material profit. This may be suitable for persons interested in material life, but one who is interested in spiritual life should be attached to <i>paro dharmaḥ,</i> the religious principles by which one becomes a devotee of the Supreme Lord (<i>yato bhaktir adhokṣaje</i>). The <i>bhāgavata</i> religion teaches that the Lord and the living entity are eternally related and that the duty of the living entity is to surrender to the Lord. When one is situated on the platform of devotional service, one is freed from impediments and completely satisfied (<i>ahaituky apratihatā yayātmā suprasīdati</i>). Having been elevated to that platform, Ajāmila began to lament for his past materialistic activities and glorify the name, fame, form and pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead."

"The men of the higher classes—the <i>brāhmaṇas, kṣatriyas</i> and <i>vaiśyas</i>—do not beget children in the wombs of lower-class women. Therefore the custom in Vedic society is to examine the horoscopes of a girl and boy being considered for marriage to see whether their combination is suitable. Vedic astrology reveals whether one has been born in the <i>vipra-varṇa, kṣatriya-varṇa, vaiśya-varṇa</i> or <i>śūdra-varṇa,</i> according to the three qualities of material nature. This must be examined because a marriage between a boy of the <i>vipra-varṇa</i> and a girl of the <i>śūdra-varṇa</i> is incompatible; married life would be miserable for both husband and wife. Consequently a boy should marry a girl of the same category. Of course, this is <i>trai-guṇya,</i> a material calculation according to the <i>Vedas,</i> but if the boy and girl are devotees there need be no such considerations. A devotee is transcendental, and therefore in a marriage between devotees, the boy and girl form a very happy combination."

When one is elevated to the platform of devotional service by the grace of the Lord and the spiritual master, one first regrets his past sinful activities. This helps one advance in spiritual life. The Viṣṇudūtas had given Ajāmila the chance to become a pure devotee, and the duty of a pure devotee is to regret his past sinful activities in illicit sex, intoxication, meat-eating and gambling. Not only should one give up his past bad habits, but he must always regret his past sinful acts. This is the standard of pure devotion."

"\"Association with devotees is recommended by all the <i>śāstras</i> because by even a moment of such association one can receive the seed for all perfection.\" In the beginning of his life Ajāmila was certainly very pure, and he associated with devotees and <i>brāhmaṇas;</i> because of that pious activity, even though he was fallen, he was inspired to name his son Nārāyaṇa. Certainly this was due to good counsel given from within by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As the Lord says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (15.15), <i>sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭo mattaḥ smṛtir jñānam apohanaṁ ca:</i> \"I am seated in everyone's heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness.\" The Lord, who is situated in everyone's heart, is so kind that if one has ever rendered service to Him, the Lord never forgets him. Thus the Lord, from within, gave Ajāmila the opportunity to name his youngest son Nārāyaṇa so that in affection he would constantly call \"Nārāyaṇa! Nārāyaṇa!\" and thus be saved from the most fearful and dangerous condition at the time of his death. Such is the mercy of Kṛṣṇa. <i>Guru-kṛṣṇa-prasāde pāya bhakti-latā-bīja </i>[<i>Madhya</i> 19.151]<i>:</i> by the mercy of the <i>guru</i> and Kṛṣṇa, one receives the seed of <i>bhakti.</i> This association saves a devotee from the greatest fear. In our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement we therefore change a devotee's name to a form that reminds him of Viṣṇu. If at the time of death the devotee can remember his own name, such as Kṛṣṇadāsa or Govinda dāsa, he can be saved from the greatest danger. Therefore the change of names at the time of initiation is essential. The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is so meticulous that it gives one a good opportunity to remember Kṛṣṇa somehow or other."

Therefore I shall not fall victim again to the false lures of material sense gratification. Now that I have become fixed in the Absolute Truth, henceforward I shall not identify myself with the body.

"How a living entity becomes a victim of the material condition is lucidly explained in this verse. The beginning is to misidentify the body as one's self. Therefore <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> begins with the spiritual instruction that one is not the body, but is within the body. This consciousness can be possible only if one chants the holy name of Kṛṣṇa, the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mahā-mantra,</i> and always keeps oneself in the association of devotees. This is the secret of success. Therefore we stress that one should chant the holy name of the Lord and keep oneself free from the contaminations of this material world, especially the contaminations of lusty desires for illicit sex, meat-eating, intoxication and gambling. With determination, one should vow to follow these principles and thus be saved from the miserable condition of material existence. The first necessity is to become freed from the bodily concept of life."

One is welcome to live in those holy places for the rest of his life in order to achieve the highest success by the very simple method of chanting the holy name of the Lord and taking <i>prasāda.</i> Thus one may return home, back to Godhead. We do not have a center in Hardwar, but Vṛndāvana and Śrīdhāma Māyāpur are better for devotees than any other places.

In less than even a moment, a perfect devotee can return home, back to Godhead, immediately after giving up his material body."
