Of course, many trees are useful because they produce fruits and flowers, but many other trees are unnecessary. They could be used as fuel and the land cleared and used for agriculture. When the government is negligent, less grain is produced. As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (18.44), <i>kṛṣi-gorakṣya-vāṇijyaṁ vaiśya-karma svabhāva-jam:</i> the proper engagements for <i>vaiśyas,</i> according to their nature, are to farm and to protect cows.

"Here the word <i>tapo-dīpita-manyavaḥ</i> indicates that persons who have undergone severe austerity (<i>tapasya</i>) are endowed with great mystic power, as evinced by the Pracetās, who created fire and wind from their mouths. Although devotees undergo severe <i>tapasya,</i> however, they are <i>vimanyavaḥ, sādhavaḥ,</i> which means that they are never angry. They are always decorated with good qualities. <i>Bhāgavatam</i> (3.25.21) states:",
|

"<i>titikṣavaḥ kāruṇikāḥ<br/> suhṛdaḥ sarva-dehinām<br/> ajāta-śatravaḥ śāntāḥ<br/> sādhavaḥ sādhu-bhūṣaṇāḥ</i>",
|

"A <i>sādhu,</i> a devotee, is never angry. Actually the real feature of devotees who undergo <i>tapasya,</i> austerity, is forgiveness. Although a Vaiṣṇava has sufficient power in <i>tapasya,</i> he does not become angry when put into difficulty. If one undergoes <i>tapasya</i> but does not become a Vaiṣṇava, however, one does not develop good qualities. For example, Hiraṇyakaśipu and Rāvaṇa also performed great austerities, but they did so to demonstrate their demoniac tendencies. Vaiṣṇavas must meet many opponents while preaching the glories of the Lord, but Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu recommends that they not become angry while preaching. Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu has given this formula: <i>tṛṇād api sunīcena taror api sahiṣṇunā/ amāninā mānadena kīrtanīyaḥ sadā hariḥ.</i> \"One should chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble state of mind, thinking oneself lower than the straw in the street; one should be more tolerant than a tree, devoid of all sense of false prestige and should be ready to offer all respect to others. In such a state of mind one can chant the holy name of the Lord constantly.\" Those engaged in preaching the glories of the Lord should be humbler than grass and more tolerant than a tree; then they can preach the glories of the Lord without difficulty."

These four-legged animals are those such as deer and goats, not cows, which are meant to be protected. Generally the men of the higher classes of society—the <i>brāhmaṇas, kṣatriyas</i> and <i>vaiśyas</i>—do not eat meat. Sometimes <i>kṣatriyas</i> go to the forest to kill animals like deer because they have to learn the art of killing, and sometimes they eat the animals also. <i>Śūdras,</i> too, eat animals such as goats. Cows, however, are never meant to be killed or eaten by human beings. In every <i>śāstra,</i> cow killing is vehemently condemned. Indeed, one who kills a cow must suffer for as many years as there are hairs on the body of a cow. <i>Manu-saṁhitā</i> says, <i>pravṛttir eṣā bhūtānāṁ nivṛttis tu mahā-phalā:</i> we have many tendencies in this material world, but in human life one is meant to learn how to curb those tendencies. Those who desire to eat meat may satisfy the demands of their tongues by eating lower animals, but they should never kill cows, who are actually accepted as the mothers of human society because they supply milk. The <i>śāstra</i> especially recommends, <i>kṛṣi-gorakṣya:</i> the <i>vaiśya</i> section of humanity should arrange for the food of the entire society through agricultural activities and should give full protection to the cows, which are the most useful animals because they supply milk to human society."

The exalted royal families were conscious that all living beings, whether human, animal or lower than animal, should be given protection. The modern democratic system cannot be exalted in this way because the leaders elected strive only for power and have no sense of responsibility.

The king is duty-bound to protect the living entities in his kingdom. Thus although the parents are directly responsible for the protection and maintenance of their children, the duty of the king is to see that all parents do their duty properly. Similarly, the king is also responsible for overseeing the other protectors mentioned in this verse. It may also be noted that the beggars who should be maintained by the householders are not professional beggars, but <i>sannyāsīs</i> and <i>brāhmaṇas,</i> to whom the householders should supply food and clothing."

He is not perceivable by the conditioned souls, who are accustomed to material vision and cannot understand that the Supreme Personality of Godhead exists in His abode, which is beyond that vision. Even if a materialistic person could count all the atoms in the universe, he would still be unable to understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As confirmed in <i>Brahma-saṁhitā</i> (5.34):",
|
||||
"<i>panthās tu koṭi-śata-vatsara-saṁpragamyo<br/> vāyor athāpi manaso muni-puṅgavānām<br/> so 'py asti yat-prapada-sīmny avicintya-tattve<br/> govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi</i>",
|
||||
"The conditioned souls may try to understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead for many billions of years through their mental speculative processes, traveling at the speed of the mind or the wind, but still the Absolute Truth will remain inconceivable to them because a materialistic person cannot measure the length and breadth of the Supreme Personality of Godhead's unlimited existence. If the Absolute Truth is beyond measurement, one may ask, how can one realize Him? The answer is given here by the word <i>svayambhuve:</i> one may understand Him or not, but nevertheless He is existing in His own spiritual potency."

"The individual soul and the Supreme Soul live together within the body. This is confirmed in the <i>Upaniṣads</i> by the analogy that two friendly birds live in one tree—one bird eating the fruit of the tree and the other simply witnessing and directing. Although the individual living being, who is compared to the bird that is eating, is sitting with his friend the Supreme Soul, the individual living being cannot see Him. Actually the Supersoul is directing the workings of his senses in the enjoyment of sense objects, but as these sense objects cannot see the senses, the conditioned soul cannot see the directing soul. The conditioned soul has desires, and the Supreme Soul fulfills them, but the conditioned soul is unable to see the Supreme Soul. Thus Prajāpati Dakṣa offers his obeisances to the Supreme Soul, the Supersoul, even though unable to see Him. Another example given is that although ordinary citizens work under the direction of the government, they cannot understand how they are being governed or what the government is. In this regard, Madhvācārya quotes the following verse from the <i>Skanda Purāṇa:</i>",
|
||||
"<i>yathā rājñaḥ priyatvaṁ tu<br/> bhṛtyā vedena cātmanaḥ<br/> tathā jīvo na yat-sakhyaṁ<br/> vetti tasmai namo 'stu te</i>",

"\"As the various servants in the different departments of big establishments cannot see the supreme managing director under whom they are working, the conditioned souls cannot see the supreme friend sitting within their bodies. Let us therefore offer our respectful obeisances unto the Supreme, who is invisible to our material eyes.\""

"There are two stages of God realization. One is called <i>sujñeyam,</i> or very easily understood (generally by mental speculation), and the other is called <i>durjñeyam,</i> understood only with difficulty. Paramātmā realization and Brahman realization are considered <i>sujñeyam,</i> but realization of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is <i>durjñeyam.</i> As described here, one attains the ultimate realization of the Personality of Godhead when one gives up the activities of the mind—thinking, feeling and willing—or, in other words, when mental speculation stops. This transcendental realization is above <i>suṣupti,</i> deep sleep. In our gross conditional stage we perceive things through material experience and remembrance, and in the subtle stage we perceive the world in dreams. The process of vision also involves remembrance and also exists in a subtle form. Above gross experience and dreams is <i>suṣupti,</i> deep sleep, and when one comes to the completely spiritual platform, transcending deep sleep, he attains trance, <i>viśuddha-sattva,</i> or <i>vasudeva-sattva,</i> in which the Personality of Godhead is revealed.",

"<i>Ataḥ śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāmādi na bhaved grāhyam indriyaiḥ:</i> as long as one is situated in duality, on the sensual platform, gross or subtle, realization of the original Personality of Godhead is impossible. <i>Sevonmukhe hi jihvādau svayam eva sphuraty adaḥ:</i> but when one engages his senses in the service of the Lord—specifically, when one engages the tongue in chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mantra</i> and tasting only Kṛṣṇa <i>prasāda</i> with a spirit of service—the Supreme Personality of Godhead is revealed. This is indicated in this verse by the word <i>śuci-sadmane.</i> <i>Śuci</i> means purified. By the spirit of rendering service with one's senses, one's entire existence becomes <i>śuci-sadma,</i> the platform of uncontaminated purity. Dakṣa therefore offers his respectful obeisances unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is revealed on the platform of <i>śuci-sadma.</i> In this regard Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura quotes the following prayer by Lord Brahmā from the <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (10.14.6): <i>tathāpi bhūman mahimāguṇasya te viboddhum arhaty amalāntar-ātmabhiḥ.</i> \"One whose heart has become completely purified, my Lord, can understand the transcendental qualities of Your Lordship and can understand the greatness of Your activities.\""

"translation": "<b>Just as great learned brāhmaṇas who are expert in performing ritualistic ceremonies and sacrifices can extract the fire dormant within wooden fuel by chanting the fifteen Sāmidhenī mantras, thus proving the efficacy of the Vedic mantras, so those who are actually advanced in consciousness—in other words, those who are Kṛṣṇa conscious—can find the Supersoul, who by His own spiritual potency is situated within the heart. The heart is covered by the three modes of material nature and the nine material elements [material nature, the total material energy, the ego, the mind and the five objects of sense gratification], and also by the five material elements and the ten senses. These twenty-seven elements constitute the external energy of the Lord. Great yogīs meditate upon the Lord, who is situated as the Supersoul, Paramātmā, within the core of the heart. May that Supersoul be pleased with me. The Supersoul is realized when one is eager for liberation from the unlimited varieties of material life. One actually attains such liberation when he engages in the transcendental loving service of the Lord and realizes the Lord because of his attitude of service. The Lord may be addressed by various spiritual names, which are inconceivable to the material senses. When will that Supreme Personality of Godhead be pleased with me?</b>",
|
||||
"purport": [
|
||||
"In his commentary to this verse, Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura uses the word <i>durvijñeyam,</i> which means very difficult to realize. The pure stage of existence is described in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (7.28), wherein Kṛṣṇa says:",
|
||||
"<i>yeṣāṁ tv anta-gataṁ pāpaṁ<br/> janānāṁ puṇya-karmaṇām<br/> te dvandva-moha-nirmuktā<br/> bhajante māṁ dṛḍha-vratāḥ</i>",
|
||||
"\"Persons who have acted piously in previous lives and in this life, whose sinful actions are completely eradicated and who are freed from the duality of delusion, engage themselves in My service with determination.\"",
|
||||
"Elsewhere in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (9.14) the Lord says:",
|
||||
"<i>satataṁ kīrtayanto māṁ<br/> yatantaś ca dṛḍha-vratāḥ<br/> namasyantaś ca māṁ bhaktyā<br/> nitya-yuktā upāsate</i>",
|
||||
"\"Always chanting My glories, endeavoring with great determination, bowing down before Me, these great souls perpetually worship Me with devotion.\"",
|
||||
"One can understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead after transcending all material impediments. Therefore Lord Kṛṣṇa also says in the <i>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.\"",
|
||||
"To understand Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one must undergo severe penances and austerities, but since the path of devotional service is perfect, by following this process one can very easily come to the spiritual platform and understand the Lord. This, too, is confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (18.55), wherein Kṛṣṇa says:",
|
||||
"<i>bhaktyā mām abhijānāti<br/> yāvān yaś cāsmi tattvataḥ<br/> tato māṁ tattvato jñātvā<br/> viśate tad-anantaram</i>",
|
||||
"\"One can understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead as He is only by devotional service. And when one is in full consciousness of the Supreme Lord by such devotion, he can enter into the kingdom of God.\"",
|
||||
"Thus although the subject matter is <i>durvijñeyam,</i> extremely difficult to understand, it becomes easy if one follows the prescribed method. Coming in touch with the Supreme Personality of Godhead is possible through pure devotional service, which begins with <i>śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ.</i> In this regard, Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura quotes a verse from <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (2.8.5): <i>praviṣṭaḥ karṇa-randhreṇa svānāṁ bhāva-saroruham.</i> The process of hearing and chanting enters the core of the heart, and in this way one becomes a pure devotee. By continuing this process, one comes to the stage of transcendental love, and then he appreciates the transcendental name, form, qualities and pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In other words, a pure devotee, by devotional service, is able to see the Supreme Personality of Godhead despite many material impediments, which are all various energies of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Easily making his way through these impediments, a devotee comes directly in contact with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. After all, the material impediments described in these verses are but various energies of the Lord. When a devotee is eager to see the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he prays to the Lord:",
|
||||
"<i>ayi nanda-tanuja kiṅkaraṁ<br/> patitaṁ māṁ viṣame bhavāmbudhau<br/> kṛpayā tava pāda-paṅkaja-<br/> sthita-dhūlī-sadṛśaṁ vicintaya<br/> </i>[<i>Śikṣāṣṭaka</i> <i>5</i>]",
|
||||
"\"O son of Mahārāja Nanda [Kṛṣṇa], I am Your eternal servitor, yet somehow or other I have fallen into the ocean of birth and death. Please pick me up from this ocean of death and place me as one of the atoms at Your lotus feet.\" Being pleased with the devotee, the Lord turns all his material impediments into spiritual service. In this connection Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura quotes a verse from the <i>Viṣṇu Purāṇa:</i>",
|
||||
"<i>hlādinī sandhinī samvit<br/> tvayy ekā sarva-saṁsthitau<br/> hlāda-tāpa-karī miśrā<br/> tvayi no guṇa-varjite</i>",
|
||||
"In the material world, the spiritual energy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is manifested as <i>tāpa-karī,</i> which means \"causing miseries.\" Everyone hankers for happiness, but although happiness originally comes from the pleasure potency of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, in the material world, because of material activities, the pleasure potency of the Lord becomes a source of miseries (<i>hlāda-tāpa-karī</i>). False happiness in the material world is the source of distress, but when one's endeavors for happiness are redirected toward the satisfaction of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, this <i>tāpa-karī</i> element of misery is vanquished. An example given in this connection is that extracting fire from wood is certainly difficult, but when the fire comes out it burns the wood to ashes. In other words, experiencing the Supreme Personality of Godhead is extremely difficult for those devoid of devotional service, but everything becomes easier for a devotee, and thus he can very easily meet the Supreme Lord.",
|
||||
"Here the prayers say that the form of the Lord is beyond the jurisdiction of material form and is therefore inconceivable. A devotee prays, however, \"My dear Lord, be pleased with me so that I may very easily see Your transcendental form and potency.\" Nondevotees try to understand the Supreme Brahman by discussions of <i>neti neti.</i> <i>Niṣedha-nirvāṇa-sukhānubhūtiḥ:</i> a devotee, however, simply by chanting the holy name of the Lord, avoids such laborious speculations and realizes the existence of the Lord very easily."

"One who manufactures names, forms, qualities or paraphernalia pertaining to the Supreme Personality of Godhead cannot understand Him, since He is beyond creation. The Supreme Lord is the creator of everything, and this means that He existed when there was no creation. In other words, His name, form and qualities are not materially created entities; they are transcendental always. Therefore by our material concoctions, vibrations and thoughts we cannot ascertain the Supreme Lord. This is explained in the verse <i>ataḥ śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāmādi na bhaved grāhyam indriyaiḥ.</i>",
|
||||
"Prācetasa, Dakṣa, herein offers prayers unto the Transcendence, not to anyone within the material creation. Only fools and rascals think God a material creation. This is confirmed by the Lord Himself in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (9.11):",

"<i>avajānanti māṁ mūḍhā<br/> mānuṣīṁ tanum āśritam<br/> paraṁ bhāvam ajānanto<br/> mama bhūta-maheśvaram</i>",
|

"\"Fools deride Me when I descend in the human form. They do not know My transcendental nature and My supreme dominion over all that be.\" Therefore, one must receive knowledge from a person to whom the Lord has revealed Himself; there is no value in creating an imaginary name or form for the Lord. Śrīpāda Śaṅkarācārya was an impersonalist, but nevertheless he said, <i>nārāyaṇaḥ paro 'vyaktāt:</i> Nārāyaṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is not a person of the material world. We cannot assign Nārāyaṇa a material designation, as the foolish attempt to do when they speak of <i>daridra-nārāyaṇa</i> (poor Nārāyaṇa). Nārāyaṇa is always transcendental, beyond this material creation. How can He become <i>daridra-nārāyaṇa</i>? Poverty is found within this material world, but in the spiritual world, there is no such thing as poverty. Therefore the idea of <i>daridra-nārāyaṇa</i> is merely a concoction.",
|
||||
"Dakṣa very carefully points out that material designations cannot be names of the worshipable Lord: <i>yad yan niruktaṁ vacasā nirūpitam.</i> <i>Nirukta</i> refers to the Vedic dictionary. One cannot properly understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead merely by picking up expressions from a dictionary. In praying to the Lord, Dakṣa does not wish material names and forms to be the objects of his worship; rather, he wants to worship the Lord, who existed before the creation of material dictionaries and names. As confirmed in the <b><i>Vedas, yato vāco nivartante/ aprāpya manasā saha:</i></b><b> the name, form, attributes and paraphernalia of the Lord cannot be ascertained through a material dictionary. However, if one reaches the transcendental platform of understanding the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he becomes well acquainted with everything, material and spiritual. This is confirmed in another Vedic </b><b><i>mantra:</i></b><b> </b><b><i>tam eva viditvātimṛtyum eti.</i></b><b> If one can somehow or other, by the grace of the Lord, understand the transcendental position of the Lord, one becomes eternal. This is further confirmed by the Lord Himself in </b><i>Bhagavad-gītā</i><b> (4.9):</b>",

"\"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.\" Simply by understanding the Supreme Lord, one goes beyond birth, death, old age and disease. Śrīla Śukadeva Gosvāmī therefore advised Mahārāja Parīkṣit in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (2.1.5):",

"Since time immemorial or since the creation of the cosmic manifestation, the conditioned souls have formed various parties of philosophical speculation, but this is not true of the devotees. Nondevotees have different ideas of creation, maintenance and annihilation, and therefore they are called <i>vādīs</i> and <i>prativādīs</i>—proponents and counterproponents. It is understood from the statement of <i>Mahābhārata</i> that there are many <i>munis,</i> or speculators:",
|
||||
"<i>tarko 'pratiṣṭhaḥ śrutayo vibhinnā<br/> nāsāv ṛṣir yasya mataṁ na bhinnam</i>",
|
||||
"All speculators must disagree with other speculators; otherwise, why should there be so many opposing parties concerned with ascertaining the supreme cause?",
|
||||
"Philosophy means finding the ultimate cause. As <i>Vedānta-sūtra</i> very reasonably says, <i>athāto brahma-jijñāsā:</i> human life is meant for understanding the ultimate cause. Devotees accept that the ultimate cause is Kṛṣṇa because this conclusion is supported by all Vedic literature and also by Kṛṣṇa Himself, who says, <i>ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavaḥ: </i>\"I am the source of everything.\" Devotees have no problem understanding the ultimate cause of everything, but nondevotees must face many opposing elements because everyone who wants to be a prominent philosopher invents his own way. In India there are many parties of philosophers, such as the <i>dvaita-vādīs, advaita-vādīs, vaiśeṣikas, mīmāṁsakas</i>, Māyāvādīs and <i>svabhāva-vādīs</i>, and each of them opposes the others. Similarly, in the Western countries there are also many philosophers with different views of creation, life, maintenance and annihilation. Thus it is undoubtedly a fact that there are countless philosophers throughout the world, each of them contradicting the others.",
|
||||
"Now, one might ask why there are so many philosophers if the ultimate goal of philosophy is one. Undoubtedly the ultimate cause is one—the Supreme Brahman. As Arjuna told Kṛṣṇa in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (10.12):",
|
||||
"<i>paraṁ brahma paraṁ dhāma<br/> pavitraṁ paramaṁ bhavān<br/> puruṣaṁ śāśvataṁ divyam<br/> ādi-devam ajaṁ vibhum</i>",
|
||||
"\"You are the Supreme Brahman, the ultimate, the supreme abode and purifier, the Absolute Truth and the eternal divine person. You are the primal God, transcendental and original, and You are the unborn and all-pervading beauty.\" Nondevotee speculators, however, do not accept an ultimate cause (<i>sarva-kāraṇa-kāraṇam</i>). Because they are ignorant and bewildered concerning the soul and its activities, even though some of them have a vague idea of the soul, many controversies arise, and the philosophical speculators can never reach a conclusion. All of these speculators are envious of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and as Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (16.19-20):",
|
||||
"<i>tān ahaṁ dviṣataḥ krūrān<br/> saṁsāreṣu narādhamān<br/> kṣipāmy ajasram aśubhān<br/> āsurīṣv eva yoniṣu</i>",
|
||||
"<i>āsurīṁ yonim āpannā<br/> mūḍhā janmani janmani<br/> mām aprāpyaiva kaunteya<br/> tato yānty adhamāṁ gatim</i>",
|
||||
"\"Those who are envious and mischievous, who are the lowest among men, are cast by Me into the ocean of material existence, into various demoniac species of life. Attaining repeated birth among the species of demoniac life, such persons can never approach Me. Gradually they sink down to the most abominable type of existence.\" Because of their envy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, nondevotees are born in demoniac families life after life. They are great offenders, and because of their offenses the Supreme Lord keeps them always bewildered. <i>Kurvanti caiṣāṁ muhur ātma-moham:</i> the Lord, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, purposely keeps them in darkness (<i>ātma-moham</i>).",
|
||||
"The great authority Parāśara, the father of Vyāsadeva, explains the Supreme Personality of Godhead thus:",
|
||||
"<i>jñāna-śakti-balaiśvarya-<br/> vīrya-tejāṁsy aśeṣataḥ<br/> bhagavac-chabda-vācyāni<br/> vinā heyair guṇādibhiḥ<br/> </i>[<i>Viṣṇu Purāṇa</i> <b>6.5.79]</b>",
|
||||
"The demoniac speculators cannot understand the transcendental qualities, form, pastimes, strength, knowledge and opulence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, which are all free from material contamination (<i>vinā heyair guṇādibhiḥ</i>). These speculators are envious of the existence of the Lord. <i>Jagad āhur anīśvaram:</i> their conclusion is that the entire cosmic manifestation has no controller, but is just working naturally. Thus they are kept in constant darkness, birth after birth, and cannot understand the real cause of all causes. This is the reason why there are so many schools of philosophical speculation."

"Actually there are two sides to this argument. Some say that the Absolute has no form (<i>nirākāra</i>), and others say that the Absolute has a form (<i>sākāra</i>). Therefore the word \"form\" is the common factor, although some accept it (<i>asti</i> or <i>astika</i>) whereas others try to negate it (<i>nāsti</i> or <i>nāstika</i>). Since the devotee considers the word \"form\" (<i>ākāra</i>) the common factor for both, he offers his respectful obeisances to the form, although others may go on arguing about whether the Absolute has a form or not.",
|
||||
"In this verse the word <i>yoga-sāṅkhyayoḥ</i> is very important. <i>Yoga</i> means <i>bhakti-yoga</i> because <i>yogīs</i> also accept the existence of the all-pervading Supreme Soul and try to see that Supreme Soul within their hearts. As stated in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (12.13.1), <i>dhyānāvasthita-tad-gatena manasā paśyanti yaṁ yoginaḥ.</i> The devotee tries to come directly in touch with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, whereas the <i>yogī</i> tries to find the Supersoul within the heart by meditation. Thus, both directly and indirectly, <i>yoga</i> means <i>bhakti-yoga.</i> Sāṅkhya, however, means physical study of the cosmic situation through speculative knowledge. This is generally known as <i>jñāna-śāstra.</i> The Sāṅkhyites are attached to the impersonal Brahman, but the Absolute Truth is known in three ways. <i>Brahmeti paramātmeti bhagavān iti śabdyate:</i> the Absolute Truth is one, but some accept Him as impersonal Brahman, some as the Supersoul existing everywhere, and some as Bhagavān, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The central point is the Absolute Truth.",
|
||||
"Although the impersonalists and personalists fight with one another, they focus upon the same Parabrahman, the same Absolute Truth. In the <i>yoga-śāstras,</i> Kṛṣṇa is described as follows: <i>kṛṣṇaṁ piśaṅgāmbaram ambujekṣaṇaṁ catur-bhujaṁ śaṅkha-gadādy-udāyudham.</i> Thus the pleasing appearance of the Supreme Personality of Godhead's bodily features, His limbs and His dress are described. The <i>sāṅkhya-śāstra,</i> however, denies the existence of the Lord's transcendental form. The <i>sāṅkhya-śāstra</i> says that the Supreme Absolute Truth has no hands, no legs and no name: <i>hy anāma-rūpa-guṇa-pāṇi-pādam acakṣur aśrotram ekam advitīyam api nāma-rūpādikaṁ nāsti.</i> The Vedic <i>mantras</i> say, <i>apāṇi-pādo javano grahītā:</i> the Supreme Lord has no legs and hands, but He can accept whatever is offered to Him. Actually such statements accept that the Supreme has hands and legs, but deny that He has material hands and legs. This is why the Absolute is called <i>aprākṛta.</i> Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, has a <i>sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha,</i> a form of eternity, knowledge and bliss, not a material form. The Sāṅkhyites, or <i>jñānīs,</i> deny the material form, and the devotees also know very well that the Absolute Truth, Bhagavān, has no material form.",
|
||||
"<i>īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ<br/> sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ<br/> anādir ādir govindaḥ<br/> sarva-kāraṇa-kāraṇam</i>",
|
||||
"\"Kṛṣṇa, who is known as Govinda, is the supreme controller. He has an eternal, blissful, spiritual body. He is the origin of all. He has no other origin, for He is the prime cause of all causes.\" [<i>Bs.</i> 5.1] The conception of the Absolute without hands and legs and the conception of the Absolute with hands and legs are apparently contradictory, but they both coincide with the same truth about the Supreme Absolute Person. Therefore the word <i>vastu-niṣṭhayoḥ,</i> which is used herein, indicates that both the <i>yogīs</i> and Sāṅkhyites have faith in the reality, but are arguing about it from the different viewpoints of material and spiritual identities. Parabrahman, or <i>bṛhat,</i> is the common point. The Sāṅkhyites and <i>yogīs</i> are both situated in that same Brahman, but they differ because of different angles of vision.",
|
||||
"The directions given by the <i>bhakti-śāstra</i> point one in the perfect direction because the Supreme Personality of Godhead says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> <i>bhaktyā mām abhijānāti:</i> \"Only by devotional service am I to be known.\" The <i>bhaktas</i> know that the Supreme Person has no material form, whereas the <i>jñānīs</i> simply deny the material form. One should therefore take shelter of the <i>bhakti-mārga,</i> the path of devotion; then everything will be clear. <i>Jñānīs</i> concentrate on the <i>virāṭa-rūpa,</i> the gigantic universal form of the Lord. This is a good system in the beginning for those who are extremely materialistic, but there is no need to think continuously of the <i>virāṭa-rūpa.</i> When Arjuna was shown the <i>virāṭa-rūpa</i> of Kṛṣṇa, he saw it, but he did not want to see it perpetually. He therefore requested the Lord to return to His original form as two-armed Kṛṣṇa. In conclusion, learned scholars find no contradictions in the devotees' concentration upon the spiritual form of the Lord (<i>īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ</i>). In this regard, Śrīla Madhvācārya says that less intelligent nondevotees think that their conclusion is the ultimate, but because devotees are completely learned, they can understand that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the ultimate goal."

"In regard to the significant word <i>anāma-rūpaḥ,</i> Śrī Śrīdhara Svāmī says, <i>prākṛta-nāma-rūpa-rahito 'pi.</i> The word <i>anāma,</i> which means \"having no name,\" indicates that the Supreme Personality of Godhead has no material name. Simply by chanting the name of Nārāyaṇa to call his son, Ajāmila attained salvation. This means that Nārāyaṇa is not an ordinary mundane name; it is nonmaterial. The word <i>anāma,</i> therefore, indicates that the names of the Supreme Lord do not belong to this material world. The vibration of the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mahā-mantra</i> is not a material sound, and similarly the form of the Lord and His appearance and activities are all nonmaterial. To show His causeless mercy to the devotees, as well as to the nondevotees, Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, appears in this material world with names, forms and pastimes, all of which are transcendental. Unintelligent men who cannot understand this think that these names, forms and pastimes are material, and therefore they deny that He has a name or a form.",
|
||||
"Considered with scrutiny, the conclusion of nondevotees, who say that God has no name, and that of devotees, who know that His name is not material, are practically the same. The Supreme Personality of Godhead has no material name, form, birth, appearance or disappearance, but nevertheless, He takes His birth (<i>janma</i>). As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.6):",
|
||||
"<i>ajo 'pi sann avyayātmā<br/> bhūtānām īśvaro 'pi san<br/> prakṛtiṁ svām adhiṣṭhāya<br/> sambhavāmy ātma-māyayā</i>",
|
||||
"Although the Lord is unborn (<i>aja</i>) and His body never undergoes material changes, He nevertheless appears as an incarnation, maintaining Himself always in the transcendental stage (<i>śuddha-sattva</i>). Thus He exhibits His transcendental forms, names and activities. That is His special mercy toward His devotees. Others may continue merely arguing about whether the Absolute Truth has form or not, but when a devotee, by the grace of the Lord, sees the Lord personally, he becomes spiritually ecstatic.",
|
||||
"Unintelligent persons say that the Lord does nothing. Actually He has nothing to do, but nevertheless He has to do everything, because without His sanction no one can do anything. The unintelligent, however, cannot see how He is working and how the entire material nature is working under His direction. His different potencies work perfectly.",
|
||||
"<i>na tasya kāryaṁ karaṇaṁ ca vidyate<br/> na tat-samaś cābhyadhikaś ca dṛśyate<br/> parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate<br/> svābhāvikī jñāna-bala-kriyā ca<br/> </i>(<i>Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad 6.8</i>)",
|
||||
"He has nothing to do personally, for since His potencies are perfect, everything is immediately done by His will. Persons to whom the Supreme Personality of Godhead is not revealed cannot see how He is working, and therefore they think that even if there is God, He has nothing to do or has no particular name.",
|
||||
"Actually the Lord's name already exists because of His transcendental activities. The Lord is sometimes called <i>guṇa-karma-nāma</i> because He is named according to His transcendental activities. For example, <i>Kṛṣṇa</i> means \"all-attractive.\" This is the Lord's name because His transcendental qualities make Him very attractive. As a small boy He lifted Govardhana Hill and in His childhood He killed many demons. Such activities are very attractive, and therefore He is sometimes called Giridhārī, Madhusūdana, Agha-niṣūdana and so on. Because He acted as the son of Nanda Mahārāja, He is called Nanda-tanuja. These names already exist, but since nondevotees cannot understand the names of the Lord, He is sometimes called <i>anāma,</i> or nameless. This means that he has no material names. All His activities are spiritual, and therefore He has spiritual names.",
|
||||
"Generally, less intelligent men are under the impression that the Lord has no form. Therefore He appears in His original form as Kṛṣṇa, <i>sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha,</i> to carry out His mission of participating in the Battle of Kurukṣetra and pastimes to protect the devotees and vanquish the demons (<i>paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām</i>). This is His mercy. For those who think that He has no form and no work to do, Kṛṣṇa comes to show that indeed He works. He works so gloriously that no one else can perform such uncommon acts. Although He appeared as a human being, He married 16,108 wives, which is impossible for a human being to do. The Lord performs such activities to show people how great He is, how affectionate He is and how merciful He is. Although His original name is Kṛṣṇa (<i>kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam</i>), He acts in unlimited ways, and therefore according to His work He has many, many thousands of names."

"The impersonalists imagine the various demigods to be forms of the Lord. For example, the Māyāvādīs worship five demigods (<i>pañcopāsanā</i>). They do not actually believe in the form of the Lord, but for the sake of worship they imagine some form to be God. Generally they imagine a form of Viṣṇu, a form of Śiva, and forms of Gaṇeśa, the sun-god and Durgā. This is called <i>pañcopāsanā.</i> Dakṣa, however, wanted to worship not an imaginary form, but the supreme form of Lord Kṛṣṇa.",
|
||||
"In this regard, Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura describes the difference between the Supreme Personality of Godhead and an ordinary living being. As pointed out in a previous verse, <i>sarvaṁ pumān veda guṇāṁś ca taj-jño na veda sarva jñam anantam īḍe:</i> the omnipotent Supreme Lord knows everything, but the living being does not actually know the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> \"I know everything, but no one knows Me.\" This is the difference between the Supreme Lord and an ordinary living being. In a prayer in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam,</i> Queen Kuntī says, \"My dear Lord, You exist inside and outside, yet no one can see You.\"",
|
||||
"The conditioned soul cannot understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead by speculative knowledge or by imagination. One must therefore know the Supreme Personality of Godhead by the grace of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He reveals Himself, but He cannot be understood by speculation. As stated in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (10.14.29):",
|
||||
"<i>athāpi te deva padāmbuja-dvaya-<br/> prasāda-leśānugṛhīta eva hi<br/> jānāti tattvaṁ bhagavan-mahimno<br/> na cānya eko 'pi ciraṁ vicinvan</i>",
|
||||
"\"My Lord, if one is favored by even a slight trace of the mercy of Your lotus feet, he can understand the greatness of Your personality. But those who speculate to understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead are unable to know You, even though they continue to study the <i>Vedas</i> for many years.\"",
|
||||
"This is the verdict of the <i>śāstra.</i> An ordinary man may be a great philosopher and may speculate upon what the Absolute Truth is, what His form is and where He is existing, but he cannot understand these truths. <i>Sevonmukhe hi jihvādau svayam eva sphuraty adaḥ: </i>one can understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead only through devotional service. This is also explained by the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (18.55). <i>Bhaktyā mām abhijānāti yāvān yaś cāsmi tattvataḥ:</i> \"One can understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead as He is only by devotional service.\" Unintelligent persons want to imagine or concoct a form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but devotees want to worship the actual Personality of Godhead. Therefore Dakṣa prays, \"One may think of You as personal, impersonal or imaginary, but I wish to pray to Your Lordship that You fulfill my desires to see You as You actually are.\"",
|
||||
"Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura comments that this verse is especially meant for the impersonalist, who thinks that he himself is the Supreme because there is no difference between the living being and God. The Māyāvādī philosopher thinks that there is only one Supreme Truth and that he is also that Supreme Truth. Actually this is not knowledge but foolishness, and this verse is especially meant for such fools, whose knowledge has been stolen by illusion (<i>māyayāpahṛta jñānāḥ</i>). Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura says that such persons, <i>jñāni-māninaḥ,</i> think themselves very advanced, but actually they are unintelligent.",
|
||||
"In regard to this verse, Śrīla Madhvācārya says:",
|
||||
"<i>svadeha-sthaṁ hariṁ prāhur<br/> adhamā jīvam eva tu<br/> madhyamāś cāpy anirṇītaṁ<br/> jīvād bhinnaṁ janārdanam</i>",
|
||||
"There are three classes of men—the lowest (<i>adhama</i>), those in the middle (<i>madhyama</i>), and the best (<i>uttama</i>). The lowest (<i>adhama</i>) think that there is no difference between God and the living entity except that the living entity is under designations whereas the Absolute Truth has no designations. In their opinion, as soon as the designations of the material body are dissolved, the <i>jīva,</i> the living entity, will mix with the Supreme. They give the argument of <i>ghaṭākāśa-paṭākāśa,</i> in which the body is compared to a pot with the sky within and the sky without. When the pot breaks, the sky inside becomes one with the sky outside, and so the impersonalists say that the living being becomes one with the Supreme. This is their argument, but Śrīla Madhvācārya says that such an argument is put forward by the lowest class of men. Another class of men cannot ascertain what the actual form of the Supreme is, but they agree that there is a Supreme who controls the activities of the ordinary living being. Such philosophers are accepted as mediocre. The best, however. are those who understand the Supreme Lord (<i>sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha</i>). <i>Pūrṇānandādi-guṇakaṁ sarva jīva-vilakṣaṇam:</i> His form is completely spiritual, full of bliss, and completely distinct from that of the conditioned soul or any other living entity. <i>Uttamās tu hariṁ prāhus tāratamyena teṣu ca:</i> such philosophers are the best because they know that the Supreme Personality of Godhead reveals Himself differently to worshipers in various modes of material nature. They know that there are thirty-three million demigods just to convince the conditioned soul that there is a supreme power and to induce him to agree to worship one of these demigods so that by the association of devotees he may be able to understand that Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As Lord Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> <i>mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyāt kiñcid asti dhanañjaya:</i> \"There is no truth superior to Me.\" <i>Aham ādir hi devānām:</i> \"I am the origin of all the demigods.\" <i>Ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavaḥ:</i> \"I am superior to everyone, even Lord Brahmā, Lord Śiva and the other demigods.\" These are the conclusions of the <i>śāstra,</i> and one who accepts these conclusions should be considered a first-class philosopher. Such a philosopher knows that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the Lord of the demigods (<i>deva-deveśvaraṁ sūtram ānandaṁ prāṇa-vedinaḥ</i>)."

O Mahārāja Parīkṣit, best of the Kuru dynasty, the Lord's lotus feet rested on the shoulders of His carrier, Garuḍa, and He appeared with eight long, mighty, very beautiful arms. In His hands He held a disc, conchshell, sword, shield, arrow, bow, rope and club—in each hand a different weapon, all brilliantly shining. His garments were yellow and His bodily hue deep bluish. His eyes and face were very cheerful, and from His neck to His feet hung a long garland of flowers. His chest was decorated with the Kaustubha jewel and the mark of Śrīvatsa. On His head was a gorgeous round helmet, and His ears were decorated with earrings resembling sharks. All these ornaments were uncommonly beautiful. The Lord wore a golden belt on His waist, bracelets on His arms, rings on His fingers, and ankle bells on His feet. Thus decorated by various ornaments, Lord Hari, who is attractive to all the living entities of the three worlds, is known as Puruṣottama, the best personality. He was accompanied by great devotees like Nārada, Nanda and all the principal demigods, led by the heavenly king, Indra, and the residents of various upper planetary systems such as Siddhaloka, Gandharvaloka and Cāraṇaloka. Situated on both sides of the Lord and behind Him as well, these devotees offered Him prayers continuously.</b>",

"After every dissolution of the material cosmos, all the living entities take shelter in the body of Kāraṇodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, and when creation takes place again, they come forth from His body in their various species to resume their activities. Why does the creation take place in such a way that the living entities are put into conditioned life to suffer the threefold miseries imposed upon them by the material nature? Here the Lord says to Dakṣa, \"You desire to benefit all living entities, and that is also My desire.\" The living entities who come in contact with the material world are meant to be corrected. All the living entities within this material world have revolted against the service of the Lord, and therefore they remain within this material world as ever-conditioned, <i>nitya-baddha,</i> taking birth again and again. There is a chance, of course, of their being liberated, but nevertheless the conditioned souls, not taking advantage of this opportunity, continue in a life of sense enjoyment, and thus they are punished by birth and death again and again. This is the law of nature. As the Lord says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (7.14):",
|
||||
"<i>daivī hy eṣā guṇamayī<br/> mama māyā duratyayā<br/> mām eva ye prapadyante<br/> māyām etāṁ taranti te</i>",
|
||||
"\"This divine energy of Mine, consisting of the three modes of material nature, is difficult to overcome. But those who have surrendered unto Me can easily cross beyond it.\" Elsewhere in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (15.7) the Lord says:",
|
||||
"<i>mamaivāṁśo jīva-loke<br/> jīva-bhūtaḥ sanātanaḥ<br/> manaḥ ṣaṣṭhānīndriyāṇi<br/> prakṛti-sthāni karṣati</i>",
|
||||
"\"The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal, fragmental parts. Due to conditioned life, they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind.\" The living entity's struggle for existence within the material world is due to his rebellious nature. Unless a living entity surrenders to Kṛṣṇa, he must continue this life of struggle.",
|
||||
"The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is not a fad. It is a bona fide movement intended to promote the welfare of all conditioned souls by trying to elevate everyone to the platform of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. If one does not come to this platform, he must continue in material existence perpetually, sometimes in the upper planets and sometimes in the lower planets. As confirmed in <i>Caitanya-caritāmṛta</i> (<i>Madhya</i> 20.118), <i>kabhu svarge uṭhāya, kabhu narake ḍubāya:</i> the conditioned soul sometimes descends into nescience and sometimes gets some relief by being relatively freed from it. This is the life of the conditioned soul.",
|
||||
"Prajāpati Dakṣa is trying to benefit the conditioned souls by begetting them to give them a life with a chance for liberation. Liberation means surrender to Kṛṣṇa. If one begets children with the purpose of training them to surrender to Kṛṣṇa, fatherhood is very good. Similarly, when the spiritual master trains the conditioned souls to become Kṛṣṇa conscious, his position is successful. If one gives the conditioned souls a chance to become Kṛṣṇa conscious, all his activities are approved by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is extremely pleased, as stated here (<i>prīto 'ham</i>). Following the examples of the previous <i>ācāryas,</i> all the members of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement should try to benefit the conditioned souls by inducing them to become Kṛṣṇa conscious and giving them all facilities to do so. Such activities constitute real welfare work. By such activities, a preacher or anyone who endeavors to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness is recognized by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As the Lord Himself confirms in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (18.68-69):",
|
||||
"<i>ya idaṁ paramaṁ guhyaṁ<br/> mad-bhakteṣv abhidhāsyati<br/> bhaktiṁ mayi parāṁ kṛtvā<br/> mām evaiṣyaty asaṁśayaḥ</i>",
|
||||
"<i>na ca tasmān manuṣyeṣu<br/> kaścin me priya-kṛttamaḥ<br/> bhavitā na ca me tasmād<br/> anyaḥ priyataro bhuvi</i>",
|
||||
"\"For one who explains the supreme secret to the devotees, devotional service is guaranteed, and at the end he will come back to Me. There is no servant in this world more dear to Me than he, nor will there ever be one more dear.\""

"The word <i>aham</i> indicates a person. As explained in the <i>Vedas, nityo nityānāṁ cetanaś cetanānām:</i> the Lord is the supreme eternal among innumerable eternals and the supreme living being among the innumerable living beings. The Lord is a person who also has impersonal features. As stated in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (1.2.11):",
|

"<i>vadanti tat tattva-vidas<br/> tattvaṁ yaj jñānam advayam<br/> brahmeti paramātmeti<br/> bhagavān iti śabdyate</i>",
|

"\"Learned transcendentalists who know the Absolute Truth call this nondual substance Brahman, Paramātmā or Bhagavān.\" Consideration of the Paramātmā and impersonal Brahman arose after the creation; before the creation, only the Supreme Personality of Godhead existed. As firmly declared in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (18.55), the Lord can be understood only by <i>bhakti-yoga.</i> The ultimate cause, the supreme cause of creation, is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who can be understood only by <i>bhakti-yoga.</i> He cannot be understood by speculative philosophical research or by meditation, since all such processes came into existence after the material creation. The impersonal and localized conceptions of the Supreme Lord are more or less materially contaminated. The real spiritual process, therefore, is <i>bhakti-yoga.</i> As the Lord says, <i>bhaktyā mām abhijānāti:</i> \"Only by devotional service can I be understood.\" Before the creation, the Lord existed as a person, as indicated here by the word <i>aham.</i> When Prajāpati Dakṣa saw Him as a person, who was beautifully dressed and ornamented, he actually experienced the meaning of this word <i>aham</i> through devotional service.",
|
||||
"Each person is eternal. Because the Lord says that He existed as a person before the creation (<i>agre</i>) and will also exist after the annihilation, the Lord is a person eternally. Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura therefore quotes these verses from <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (10.9.13-14):",
|
||||
"<i>na cāntar na bahir yasya<br/> na pūrvaṁ nāpi cāparam<br/> pūrvāparaṁ bahiś cāntar<br/> jagato yo jagac ca yaḥ</i>",
|
||||
"<i>taṁ matvātmajam avyaktaṁ<br/> martya-liṅgam adhokṣajam<br/> gopikolūkhale dāmnā<br/> babandha prākṛtaṁ yathā</i>",
|
||||
"The Personality of Godhead appeared in Vṛndāvana as the son of mother Yaśodā, who bound the Lord with rope just as an ordinary mother binds a material child. There are actually no divisions of external and internal for the form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead (<i>sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha</i>), but when He appears in His own form the unintelligent think Him an ordinary person. <i>Avajānanti māṁ mūḍhā mānuṣīṁ tanum āśritam:</i> although He comes in His own body, which never changes, <i>mūḍhas,</i> the unintelligent, think that the impersonal Brahman has assumed a material body to come in the form of a person. Ordinary living beings assume material bodies, but the Supreme Personality of Godhead does not. Since the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the supreme consciousness, it is stated herein that <i>saṁjñāna-mātram,</i> the original consciousness, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, was unmanifested before the creation, although the consciousness of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the origin of everything. The Lord says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (2.12), \"Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be.\" Thus the Lord's person is the Absolute Truth in the past, present and future.",
|
||||
"In this regard, Madhvācārya quotes two verses from the <i>Matsya Purāṇa:</i>",
|
||||
"<i>nānā-varṇo haris tv eko<br/> bahu-śīrṣa-bhujo rūpāt<br/> āsīl laye tad-anyat tu<br/> sūkṣma-rūpaṁ śriyaṁ vinā</i>",
|
||||
"<i>asuptaḥ supta iva ca<br/> mīlitākṣo 'bhavad dhariḥ<br/> anyatrānādarād viṣṇau<br/> śrīś ca līneva kathyate<br/> sūkṣmatvena harau sthānāl<br/> līnam anyad apīṣyate</i>",
|
||||
"After the annihilation of everything, the Supreme Lord, because of His <i>sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha,</i> remains in His original form, but since the other living entities have material bodies, the matter merges into matter, and the subtle form of the spirit soul remains within the body of the Lord. The Lord does not sleep, but the ordinary living entities remain asleep until the next creation. An unintelligent person thinks that the opulence of the Supreme Lord is nonexistent after the annihilation, but that is not a fact. The opulence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead remains as it is in the spiritual world; only in the material world is everything dissolved. <i>Brahma-līna,</i> merging into the Supreme Brahman, is not actual <i>līna,</i> or annihilation, for the subtle form remaining in the Brahman effulgence will return to the material world after the material creation and again assume a material form. This is described as <i>bhūtvā bhūtvā pralīyate.</i> When the material body is annihilated, the spirit soul remains in a subtle form, which later assumes another material body. This is true for the conditioned souls, but the Supreme Personality of Godhead remains eternally in His original consciousness and spiritual body."

"The Lord says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (7.11), <i>dharmāviruddho bhūteṣu kāmo 'smi:</i> \"I am sex that is not contrary to religious principles.\" Sexual intercourse ordained by the Supreme Personality of Godhead is <i>dharma,</i> a religious principle, but it is not intended for sense enjoyment. Indulgence in sense enjoyment through sexual intercourse is not allowed by the Vedic principles. One may follow the natural tendency for sex life only to beget children. Therefore the Lord told Dakṣa in this verse, \"This girl is offered to you only for sex life to beget children, not for any other purpose. She is very fertile, and therefore you will be able to have as many children as you can beget.\"",
|
||||
"Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura remarks in this connection that Dakṣa was given the facility for unlimited sexual intercourse. In Dakṣa's previous life he was also known as Dakṣa, but in the course of performing sacrifices he offended Lord Śiva, and thus his head was replaced with that of a goat. Then Dakṣa gave up his life because of his degraded condition, but because he maintained the same unlimited sexual desires, he underwent austerities by which he satisfied the Supreme Lord, who then gave him unlimited potency for sexual intercourse.",
|
||||
"It should be noted that although such a facility for sexual intercourse is achieved by the grace of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, this facility is not offered to advanced devotees, who are free from material desires (<i>anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyam</i>). In this connection it may be noted that if the American boys and girls engaged in the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement want to advance in Kṛṣṇa consciousness to achieve the supreme benefit of loving service to the Lord, they should refrain from indulging in this facility for sex life. Therefore we advise that one should at least refrain from illicit sex. Even if there are opportunities for sex life, one should voluntarily accept the limitation of having sex only for progeny, not for any other purpose. Kardama Muni was also given the facility for sex life, but he had only a slight desire for it. Therefore after begetting children in the womb of Devahūti, Kardama Muni became completely renounced. The purport is that if one wants to return home, back to Godhead, one should voluntarily refrain from sex life. Sex should be accepted only as much as needed, not unlimitedly.",
|
||||
"One should not think that Dakṣa received the favor of the Lord by receiving the facilities for unlimited sex. Later verses will reveal that Dakṣa again committed an offense, this time at the lotus feet of Nārada. Therefore although sex life is the topmost enjoyment in the material world and although one may have an opportunity for sexual enjoyment by the grace of God, this entails a risk of committing offenses. Dakṣa was open to such offenses, and therefore, strictly speaking, he was not actually favored by the Supreme Lord. One should not seek the favor of the Lord for unlimited potency in sex life."
