Both of them are fools and rascals. It is advised that one observe the eternal time factor, which is the cause of the material body's appearance and disappearance, and that one observe the living entity's entanglement in this time factor. Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura therefore sings in his <i>Gītāvalī:</i>",

Before the creation of the present millennium, the living entities were under the influence of the time factor, and within the time factor the material world comes into existence and is again annihilated. <i>Bhūtvā bhūtvā pralīyate.</i> Being under the control of the time factor, the living entities appear and die, life after life. This time factor is the impersonal representation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who gives the living entities conditioned by material nature a chance to emerge from this nature by surrendering to Him."

Indeed, it has been described as a place of enjoyment for crows (<i>tad vāyasaṁ tīrtham</i>). Anyone advancing in spiritual knowledge must reject such literature. Furthermore, one should not concern oneself with the conclusions of various logicians or philosophers.

"So-called <i>svāmīs</i> and <i>yogīs</i> generally make disciples by alluring them with material benefits. There are many so-called <i>gurus</i> who attract disciples by promising to cure their diseases or increase their material opulence by manufacturing gold. These are lucrative allurements for unintelligent men. A <i>sannyāsī</i> is prohibited from making disciples through such material allurements. <i>Sannyāsīs</i> sometimes indulge in material opulence by unnecessarily constructing many temples and monasteries, but actually such endeavors should be avoided. Temples and monasteries should be constructed for the preaching of spiritual consciousness or Kṛṣṇa consciousness, not to provide free hotels for persons who are useful for neither material nor spiritual purposes. Temples and monasteries should be strictly off limits to worthless clubs of crazy men. In the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement we welcome everyone who agrees at least to follow the movement's regulative principles—no illicit sex, no intoxication, no meat-eating and no gambling. In the temples and monasteries, gatherings of unnecessary, rejected, lazy fellows should be strictly disallowed. The temples and monasteries should be used exclusively by devotees who are serious about spiritual advancement in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura explains the word <i>ārambhān</i> as meaning <i>maṭhādi-vyāpārān,</i> which means \"attempts to construct temples and monasteries.\" The first business of the <i>sannyāsī</i> is to preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness, but if, by the grace of Kṛṣṇa, facilities are available, then he may construct temples and monasteries to give shelter to the serious students of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Otherwise such temples and monasteries are not needed."

This is because of their impersonal conception of the Absolute Truth. <i>Brahmeti paramātmeti bhagavān iti śabdyate.</i> The Absolute Truth is perceived in three stages, of which <i>bhagavān,</i> or realization of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is meant for the <i>paramahaṁsas.</i> Indeed, <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> itself is meant for the <i>paramahaṁsas</i> (<i>paramo nirmatsarāṇām satām</i>). Unless one is in the <i>paramahaṁsa</i> stage, he is not eligible to understand the <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.</i> For <i>paramahaṁsas,</i> or <i>sannyāsīs</i> in the Vaiṣṇava order, preaching is the first duty. To preach, such <i>sannyāsīs</i> may accept the symbols of <i>sannyāsa,</i> such as the <i>daṇḍa</i> and <i>kamaṇḍalu,</i> or sometimes they may not. Generally the Vaiṣṇava <i>sannyāsīs,</i> being <i>paramahaṁsas,</i> are automatically called <i>bābājīs,</i> and they do not carry a <i>kamaṇḍalu</i> or <i>daṇḍa.</i> Such a <i>sannyāsī</i> is free to accept or reject the marks of <i>sannyāsa.</i> His only thought is \"Where is there an opportunity to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness?\" Sometimes the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement sends its representative <i>sannyāsīs</i> to foreign countries where the <i>daṇḍa</i> and <i>kamaṇḍalu</i> are not very much appreciated. We send our preachers in ordinary dress to introduce our books and philosophy. Our only concern is to attract people to Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

In the material world also, we generally see that when a man who is poor and skinny gradually endeavors to earn money through business or some other means and he then gets the money, he enjoys the senses to his satisfaction. By enjoying the senses one becomes fat. Therefore in spiritual advancement becoming fat is not at all satisfactory."

"Generally those engaged in spiritual advancement take food only once, either in the afternoon or in the evening. If one takes food only once, naturally he does not become fat. The learned sage, however, was quite fat, and therefore Prahlāda Mahārāja was very much surprised. Because of being experienced in self-realization, a transcendentalist certainly becomes bright-faced. And one who is advanced in self-realization must be considered to possess the body of a <i>brāhmaṇa.</i> Because the bright-faced saintly person was lying down and not working and yet was quite fat, Prahlāda Mahārāja was puzzled and wanted to question him about this."

The pure devotee is described by the words <i>bhaktyā kevalayā.</i> Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura explains that <i>bhaktyā kevalayā</i> means <i>jñāna-karmādy-amiśrayā,</i> \"unmixed with fruitive activities or speculative knowledge.\" Simply surrendering at the lotus feet is the cause of all a devotee's enlightenment and awareness."

"A saintly person doesn't wish to speak to anyone and everyone, and he is therefore grave and silent. Generally a common man does not need to be advised. Unless one is prepared to take instructions, it is said that a saintly person should not address him, although sometimes, because of great kindness, a saintly person speaks to ordinary men. As for Prahlāda Mahārāja, however, since he was not a common, ordinary man, whatever questions he posed would have to be answered, even by a great and exalted personality. Therefore the saintly <i>brāhmaṇa</i> did not remain silent, but began to answer. These answers, however, were not concocted by him. This is indicated by the words <i>yathā-śrutam,</i> meaning \"as I have heard from the authorities.\" In the <i>paramparā</i> system, when the questions are bona fide the answers are bona fide. No one should attempt to create or manufacture answers. One must refer to the <i>śāstras</i> and give answers according to Vedic understanding. The words <i>yathā-śrutam</i> refer to Vedic knowledge. The <i>Vedas</i> are known as <i>śruti</i> because this knowledge is received from authorities. The statements of the <i>Vedas</i> are known as <i>śruti-pramāṇa.</i> One should quote evidence from the <i>śruti</i>—the <i>Vedas</i> or Vedic literature—and then one's statements will be correct. Otherwise one's words will proceed from mental concoction."

This is called the struggle for existence. One kind of fruitive activity causes the living being to take one form of body, and because of actions performed in that body, another body is created. One must therefore stop these material activities, and the chance to do so is given in the human form of life. Specifically, our energy to act should be engaged in the service of the Lord, for then materialistic activities will automatically stop. One must fulfill one's desires by surrendering unto the Supreme Lord, for He knows how to fulfill them. Even though one may have material desires, one should therefore engage in the devotional service of the Lord. That will purify one's struggle for existence.",

"All living entities within this material world are undergoing the cycle of birth and death according to the laws of nature. This struggle of birth and death in different species may be called the evolutionary process, but in the Western world it has been wrongly explained. Darwin's theory of evolution from animal to man is incomplete because the theory does not present the reverse condition, namely evolution from man to animal. In this verse, however, evolution has been very well explained on the strength of Vedic authority. Human life, which is obtained in the course of the evolutionary process, is a chance for elevation (<i>svargāpavarga</i>) or for degradation (<i>tiraścām punar asya ca</i>). If one uses this human form of life properly, he can elevate himself to the higher planetary systems, where material happiness is many thousands of times better than on this planet, or one may cultivate knowledge by which to become free from the evolutionary process and be reinstated in one's original spiritual life. This is called <i>apavarga,</i> or liberation.",
|
||||
"Material life is called <i>pavarga</i> because here we are subject to five different states of suffering, represented by the letters <i>pa, pha, ba, bha</i> and <i>ma.</i> <i>Pa</i> means <i>pariśrama,</i> very hard labor. <i>Pha</i> means <i>phena,</i> or foam from the mouth. For example, sometimes we see a horse foaming at the mouth with heavy labor. <i>Ba</i> means <i>byarthatā,</i> disappointment. In spite of so much hard labor, at the end we find disappointment. <i>Bha</i> means <i>bhaya,</i> or fear. In material life, one is always in the blazing fire of fear, since no one knows what will happen next. Finally, <i>ma</i> means <i>mṛtyu,</i> or death. When one attempts to nullify these five different statuses of life—<i>pa, pha, ba, bha</i> and <i>ma</i>—one achieves <i>apavarga,</i> or liberation from the punishment of material existence.",
|
||||
"The word <i>tiraścām</i> refers to degraded life. Human life, of course, provides an opportunity for the best living conditions. As Western people think, from the monkeys come the human beings, who are more comfortably situated. However, if one does not utilize his human life for <i>svarga</i> or <i>apavarga,</i> he falls again to the degraded life of animals like dogs and hogs. Therefore a sane human being must consider whether he will elevate himself to the higher planets, prepare to free himself from the evolutionary process, or travel again through the evolutionary process in higher and lower grades of life. If one works piously one may be elevated to the higher planetary systems or achieve liberation and return home, back to Godhead, but otherwise one may be degraded to a life as a dog, a hog and so on. As explained in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (9.25), <i>yānti deva-vratā devān.</i> Those interested in being elevated to the higher planetary systems (Devaloka or Svargaloka) must prepare to do so. Similarly, if one wants liberation and wants to return home, back to Godhead, he should prepare himself for that purpose.",
|
||||
"Our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is therefore the highest movement for the benediction of human society because this movement is teaching people how to go back home, back to Godhead. In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (13.22) it is clearly stated that different forms of life are obtained by association with the three modes of material nature (<i>kāraṇaṁ guṇa-saṅgo 'sya sad-asad-yoni-janmasu</i>). According to one's association with the material qualities of goodness, passion and ignorance in this life, in one's next life one receives an appropriate body. Modern civilization does not know that because of varied association in material nature, the living entity, although eternal, is placed in different diseased conditions known as the many species of life. Modern civilization is unaware of the laws of nature.",
|
||||
"<i>prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni<br/> guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśaḥ<br/> ahaṅkāra-vimūḍhātmā<br/> kartāham iti manyate</i>",
|
||||
"\"The bewildered spirit soul, under the influence of the three modes of material nature, thinks himself the performer of activities that are in actuality carried out by nature.\" (Bg. 3.27) Every living entity is under the full control of the stringent laws of material nature, but rascals think themselves independent. Actually, however, they cannot be independent. This is foolishness. A foolish civilization is extremely risky, and therefore the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is trying to make people aware of their fully dependent condition under the stringent laws of nature and is trying to save them from being victimized by strong <i>māyā,</i> which is Kṛṣṇa's external energy. Behind the material laws is the supreme controller, Kṛṣṇa (<i>mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sacarācaram</i>). Therefore if one surrenders unto Kṛṣṇa (<i>mām eva ye prapadyante māyām etāṁ taranti te</i>), one may immediately be freed from the control of external nature (<i>sa guṇān samatītyaitān brahma-bhūyāya kalpate</i>). This should be the aim of life."

"As stated by Prahlāda Mahārāja, <i>yan maithunādi-gṛhamedhi-sukhaṁ hi tuccham.</i> Man and woman both seek sexual enjoyment, and when they are united by the ritualistic ceremony of marriage, they are happy for some time, but finally there is dissension, and thus there are so many cases of separation and divorce. Although every man and woman is actually eager to enjoy life through sexual unity, the result is disunity and distress. Marriage is recommended to give men and women a concession for restricted sex life, which is also recommended in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. <i>Dharmāviruddho bhūteṣu kāmo 'smi:</i> sex life not against the principles of religion is Kṛṣṇa. Every living entity is always eager to enjoy sex life because materialistic life consists of eating, sleeping, sex and fear. In animal life, eating, sleeping, sexual enjoyment and fear cannot be regulated, but for human society the plan is that although men, like animals, must be allowed to eat, sleep, enjoy sex and take protection from fear, they must be regulated. The Vedic plan for eating recommends that one take <i>yajña-śiṣṭa,</i> or <i>prasāda,</i> food offered to Kṛṣṇa. <i>Yajña-śiṣṭāśinaḥ santo mucyante sarva-kilbiṣaiḥ:</i> \"The devotees of the Lord are released from all kinds of sins because they eat food that is offered first for sacrifice.\" (Bg. 3.13) In material life, one commits sinful activities, especially in eating, and because of sinful activities one is condemned by nature's laws to accept another body, which is imposed as punishment. Sex and eating are essential, and therefore they are offered to human society under Vedic restrictions so that according to the Vedic injunctions people may eat, sleep, enjoy sex, be protected from fearful life and gradually be elevated and liberated from the punishment of material existence. Thus the Vedic injunctions for marriage offer a concession to human society, the idea being that a man and woman united in a ritualistic marriage ceremony should help one another advance in spiritual life. Unfortunately, especially in this age, men and women unite for unrestricted sexual enjoyment. Thus they are victimized, being obliged to take rebirth in the forms of animals to fulfill their animalistic propensities. The Vedic injunctions therefore warn, <i>nāyaṁ deho deha-bhājāṁ nṛloke kaṣṭān kāmān arhate vid-bhujāṁ ye.</i> One should not enjoy sex life like hogs, and eat everything, even to the limit of stool. A human being should eat <i>prasāda</i> offered to the Deity and should enjoy sex life according to the Vedic injunctions. He should engage himself in the business of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he should save himself from the fearful condition of material existence, and he should sleep only to recover from fatigue due to working hard.",

"The difference between the philosophy of the Māyāvādīs and that of the Vaiṣṇavas is explained herein. Both the Māyāvādīs and Vaiṣṇavas know that in materialistic activities there is no happiness. The Māyāvādī philosophers, therefore, adhering to the slogan <i>brahma satyaṁ jagan mithyā,</i> want to refrain from false, materialistic activities. They want to stop all activities and merge in the Supreme Brahman. According to the Vaiṣṇava philosophy, however, if one simply ceases from materialistic activity one cannot remain inactive for very long, and therefore everyone should engage himself in spiritual activities, which will solve the problem of suffering in this material world. It is said, therefore, that although the Māyāvādī philosophers strive to refrain from materialistic activities and merge in Brahman, and although they may actually merge in the Brahman existence, for want of activity they fall down again into materialistic activity (<i>āruhya kṛcchreṇa paraṁ padaṁ tataḥ patanty adhaḥ</i>). Thus the so-called renouncer, unable to remain in meditation upon Brahman, returns to materialistic activities by opening hospitals and schools and so on. Therefore, simply cultivating knowledge that materialistic activities cannot give one happiness, and that one should consequently cease from such activities, is insufficient. One should cease from materialistic activities and take up spiritual activities. Then the solution to the problem will be achieved. Spiritual activities are activities performed according to the order of Kṛṣṇa (<i>ānukūlyena kṛṣṇānuśīlanam</i>). If one does whatever Kṛṣṇa says, his activities are not material. For example, when Arjuna fought in response to the order of Kṛṣṇa, his activities were not material. Fighting for sense gratification is a materialistic activity, but fighting by the order of Kṛṣṇa is spiritual. By spiritual activities one becomes eligible to go back home, back to Godhead, and then enjoy blissful life eternally. Here, in the material world, everything is but a mental concoction that will never give us real happiness. The practical solution, therefore, is to cease from materialistic activities and engage in spiritual activities. <i>Yajñārthāt karmaṇo 'nyatra loko 'yaṁ karma-bandhanaḥ.</i> If one works for the sake of pleasing the Supreme Lord—Yajña, or Viṣṇu—one is in liberated life. If one fails to do so, however, he remains in a life of bondage."

There is no question of miseries for the spiritual being. As Kṛṣṇa is always happy, the living entities, who are His parts and parcels, are also happy by nature, but because of being put within this material world and forgetting their eternal relationship with Kṛṣṇa, they have forgotten their real nature. Because every one of us is a part of Kṛṣṇa, we have a very affectionate relationship with Him, but because we have forgotten our identities and are considering the body to be the self, we are afflicted by all the troubles of birth, death, old age and disease. This misconception in materialistic life continues unless and until one comes to understand his relationship with Kṛṣṇa. The happiness sought by the conditioned soul is certainly only illusion, as explained in the next verse."

"This is an accurate example depicting how the living entity, because of lack of knowledge, runs after happiness outside his own self. When one understands his real identity as a spiritual being, he can understand the supreme spiritual being, Kṛṣṇa, and the real happiness exchanged between Kṛṣṇa and one's self. It is very interesting to note how this verse points to the body's growth from the spirit soul. The modern materialistic scientist thinks that life grows from matter, but actually the fact is that matter grows from life. The life, or the spiritual soul, is compared herein to water, from which clumps of matter grow in the form of grass. One who is ignorant of scientific knowledge of the spirit soul does not look inside the body to find happiness in the soul; instead, he goes outside to search for happiness, just as a deer without knowledge of the water beneath the grass goes out to the desert to find water. The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is trying to remove the ignorance of misled human beings who are trying to find water outside the jurisdiction of life. <i>Raso vai saḥ.</i> <i>Raso 'ham apsu kaunteya.</i> The taste of water is Kṛṣṇa. To quench one's thirst, one must taste water by association with Kṛṣṇa. This is the Vedic injunction."

"Because the materialist is in gross ignorance of how the laws of material nature act upon him as a result of his fruitive activity, he mistakenly plans to enjoy bodily comfort in the human form of life through so-called economic development, through pious activities for elevation to the higher planetary systems, and in many other ways, but factually he becomes a victim of the reactions of his fruitive activities. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is situated as the Supersoul within the cores of the hearts of all living entities. As the Lord says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (15.15):",

"<i>sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭo<br/> mattaḥ smṛtir jñānam apohanaṁ ca</i>",

"\"I am seated in everyone's heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness.\" The desires and activities of the living being are observed by the Supersoul, who is the <i>upadraṣṭā,</i> the overseer, and who orders material nature to fulfill the various desires of the living being. As clearly stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (<i>18.61</i>):",

"The Lord is situated in everyone's heart, and as one desires, the Lord gives one various types of bodies, which are like machines. Riding on such a machine, the living entity wanders throughout the universe, under the control of material nature and its modes. Thus the living being is not at all free to act, but is fully under the control of material nature, which is fully under the control of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.",
|
||||
"As soon as a living entity is victimized by material desires to lord it over material nature, he is subjected to the control of material nature, which is supervised by the Supreme Soul. The result is that one again and again makes plans and is baffled, but as foolish as he is he cannot see the cause of his bafflement. This cause is distinctly stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā:</i> because one has not surrendered to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he must work under the control of material nature and its stringent laws (<i>daivī hy eṣā guṇamayī mama māyā duratyayā</i>). The only means of becoming free from this entanglement is to surrender to the Supreme Lord. In the human form of life, the living entity must accept this instruction from the Supreme Person, Kṛṣṇa: <i>sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja.</i> \"Do not plan to achieve happiness and drive away distress. You will never be successful. Simply surrender unto Me.\" Unfortunately, however, the living entity does not accept the Supreme Lord's clearly stated instructions from <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> and thus he becomes a perpetual captive of the laws of material nature.",
|
||||
"<i>Yajñārthāt karmaṇo 'nyatra loko 'yaṁ karma-bandhanaḥ:</i> if one does not act for the satisfaction of Kṛṣṇa, who is known as Viṣṇu or Yajña, he must be entangled in the reactions of fruitive activities. These reactions are called <i>pāpa</i> and <i>puṇya</i>—sinful and pious. By pious activities one is elevated to the higher planetary systems, and by impious activities one is degraded to lower species of life, in which he is punished by the laws of nature. In the lower species of life there is an evolutionary process, and when the term of the living entity's imprisonment or punishment in the lower species is finished, he is again offered a human form and given a chance to decide for himself which way he should plan. If he again misses the opportunity, he is again put into the cycle of birth and death, going sometimes higher and sometimes lower, turning on the <i>saṁsāra-cakra,</i> the wheel of material existence. As a wheel sometimes goes up and sometimes comes down, the stringent laws of material nature make the living entity in material existence sometimes happy and sometimes distressed. How he suffers in the cycle of happiness and distress is described in the next verse."

"According to the materialistic way of life, if a poor man, after laboring very, very hard, gets some material profit at the end of his life, he is considered a success, even though he again dies while suffering the threefold miseries—<i>adhyātmika, adhidaivika</i> and <i>adhibhautika.</i> No one can escape the threefold miseries of materialistic life, namely miseries pertaining to the body and mind, miseries pertaining to the difficulties imposed by society, community, nation and other living entities, and miseries inflicted upon us by natural disturbances from earthquakes, famines, droughts, floods, epidemics, and so on. If one works very hard, suffering the threefold miseries, and then is successful in getting some small benefit, what is the value of this benefit? Besides that, even if a <i>karmī</i> is successful in accumulating some material wealth, he still cannot enjoy it, for he must die in bereavement. I have even seen a dying man begging a medical attendant to increase his life by four years so that he could complete his material plans. Of course, the medical man was unsuccessful in expanding the life of the man, who therefore died in great bereavement. Everyone must die in this way, and after one's mental condition is taken into account by the laws of material nature, he is given another chance to fulfill his desires in a different body. Material plans for material happiness have no value, but under the spell of the illusory energy we consider them extremely valuable. There were many politicians, social reformers and philosophers who died very miserably, without deriving any practical value from their material plans. Therefore, a sane and sensible man never desires to work hard under the conditions of threefold miseries, only to die in disappointment."

"Greedy capitalists accumulate wealth under so many miserable conditions, the result being that because they collect money by questionable means, their minds are always agitated. Thus they are unable to sleep at night, and they have to take pills for mental tranquility to invite sleep. And sometimes even the pills are a failure. Consequently the result of having accumulated money by so much labor is certainly not happiness, but only distress. What is the value of acquiring a comfortable position if one's mind is always disturbed? Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura has therefore sung:",

"As far as our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is concerned, we are getting money naturally, by the grace of God, by selling our literature. This literature is not sold for our sense gratification; to spread the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement we need so many things, and Kṛṣṇa is therefore supplying us the requisite money to advance this mission. The mission of Kṛṣṇa is to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness all over the world, and for this purpose we naturally must have sufficient money. Therefore, according to the advice of Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī Prabhupāda, we should not give up attachment to money that can spread the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī says in his <i>Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu</i> (1.2.256):",
|
||||
"<i>prāpañcikatayā buddhyā<br/> hari-sambandhi-vastunaḥ<br/> mumukṣubhiḥ parityāgo<br/> vairāgyaṁ phalgu kathyate</i>",
|
||||
"\"When persons eager to achieve liberation renounce things which are related to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, though they are material, this is called incomplete renunciation.\" Money that can help in spreading the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is not a part of the material world, and we should not give it up, thinking that it is material. Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī advises:",
|
||||
"<i>anāsaktasya viṣayān<br/> yathārham upayuñjataḥ<br/> nirbandhaḥ kṛṣṇa-sambandhe<br/> yuktaṁ vairāgyam ucyate</i>",
|
||||
"\"When one is not attached to anything, but at the same time accepts everything in relation to Kṛṣṇa, one is rightly situated above possessiveness.\" (<i>Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu</i> 1.2.255) Money is undoubtedly coming in great quantities, but we should not be attached to this money for sense gratification; every cent should be spent for spreading the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, not for sense gratification. There is danger for a preacher when he receives great quantities of money, for as soon as he spends even a single cent of the collection for his personal sense gratification, he becomes a fallen victim. The preachers of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement should be extremely careful not to misuse the immense quantities of money needed to spread this movement. Let us not make this money the cause of our distress; it should be used for Kṛṣṇa, and that will cause our eternal happiness. Money is Lakṣmī, or the goddess of fortune, the companion of Nārāyaṇa. Lakṣmījī must always remain with Nārāyaṇa, and then there need be no fear of degradation."

"The word <i>svasmāt</i> means \"from one's self.\" Because of attachment for money, the richest person is even afraid of himself. He fears that he may have locked his money in an unsafe manner or might have committed some mistake. Aside from the government and its income tax and aside from thieves, even a rich man's own relatives are always thinking of how to take advantage of him and take away his money. Sometimes these relatives are described as <i>sva-janaka-dasyu,</i> which means \"rogues and thieves in the guise of relatives.\" Therefore, there is no need to accumulate wealth or unnecessarily endeavor for more and more money. The real business of life is to ask \"Who am I?\" and to understand one's self. One should understand the position of the living entity in this material world and understand how to return home, back to Godhead."

"Here is the difference between Vedic civilization and the modern demoniac civilization. Vedic civilization concerned itself with how to achieve self-realization, and for this purpose one was recommended to have a small income to maintain body and soul together. The society was divided into <i>brāhmaṇas, kṣatriyas, vaiśyas</i> and <i>śūdras,</i> and the members of this society would limit their endeavors to meeting their minimum demands. The <i>brāhmaṇas,</i> in particular, would have no material desires. Because the <i>kṣatriyas</i> had to rule the people, it was necessary for them to have money and prestige. But the <i>vaiśyas</i> were satisfied with agricultural produce and milk from the cow, and if by chance there were excess, trade was allowed. The <i>śūdras</i> were also happy, for they would get food and shelter from the three higher classes. In the demoniac civilization of the present day, however, there is no question of <i>brāhmaṇas</i> or <i>kṣatriyas;</i> there are only so-called workers and a flourishing mercantile class who have no goal in life.",
|
||||
"According to Vedic civilization, the ultimate perfection of life is to take <i>sannyāsa,</i> but at the present moment people do not know why <i>sannyāsa</i> is accepted. Because of misunderstanding, they think that one accepts <i>sannyāsa</i> to escape social responsibilities. But one does not accept <i>sannyāsa</i> to escape from responsibility to society. Generally one accepts <i>sannyāsa</i> at the fourth stage of spiritual life. One begins as a <i>brahmacārī</i> then becomes a <i>gṛhastha,</i> a <i>vānaprastha</i> and finally a <i>sannyāsī</i> to take advantage of the duration of one's life by engaging oneself fully in self-realization. <i>Sannyāsa</i> does not mean begging from door to door to accumulate money for sense gratification. However, because in Kali-yuga people are more or less prone to sense gratification, immature <i>sannyāsa</i> is not recommended. Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī writes in his <i>Nectar of Instruction </i>(<i>2</i>):",
|
||||
"<i>atyāhāraḥ prayāsaś ca<br/> prajalpo niyamāgrahaḥ<br/> jana-saṅgaś ca laulyaṁ ca<br/> ṣaḍbhir bhaktir vinaśyati</i>",

"\"One's devotional service is spoiled when he becomes too entangled in the following six activities: (1) eating more than necessary or collecting more funds than required; (2) overendeavoring for mundane things that are very difficult to obtain; (3) talking unnecessarily about mundane subject matters; (4) practicing the scriptural rules and regulations only for the sake of following them and not for the sake of spiritual advancement, or rejecting the rules and regulations of the scriptures and working independently or whimsically; (5) associating with worldly-minded persons who are not interested in Kṛṣṇa consciousness; and (6) being greedy for mundane achievements.\" A <i>sannyāsī</i> should have an institution meant to preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness; he need not accumulate money for himself. We recommend that as soon as money accumulates in our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, fifty per cent of it should be invested in printing books, and fifty per cent for expenditures, especially in establishing centers all over the world. The managers of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement should be extremely cautious in regard to this point. Otherwise money will be the cause of lamentation, illusion, fear, anger, material attachment, material poverty, and unnecessary hard work. When I was alone in Vṛndāvana, I never attempted to construct <i>maṭhās</i> or temples; rather, I was fully satisfied with the small amount of money I could gather by selling <i>Back to Godhead,</i> and thus I would provide for myself and also print the literature. When I went to foreign countries, I lived according to the same principle, but when Europeans and Americans began to give money profusely, I started temples and Deity worship. The same principle should still be followed. Whatever money is collected should be spent for Kṛṣṇa, and not a farthing for sense gratification. This is the <i>Bhāgavata</i> principle."

The learned <i>brāhmaṇa</i> had therefore decided that he should not accumulate any money. One should own as much as he immediately needs. There is no need to keep a big balance at hand, along with the fear that it may be plundered by the government or by thieves."

When he takes birth as an animal he must lie down on the ground, and when he takes birth as a king or a very rich man he is allowed to lie in first-class rooms in huge palaces decorated with beds and other furniture. Such facilities are not available, however, at the sweet will of the living entity; rather, they are available by the supreme will (<i>parecchayā</i>), or by the arrangement of <i>māyā.</i> As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (<i>18.61</i>):",

"<i>īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ<br/> hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati<br/> bhrāmayan sarva-bhūtāni<br/> yantrārūḍhāni māyayā</i>",

"\"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.\" The living entity, according to his material desires, receives different types of bodies, which are nothing but machines offered by material nature according to the order of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. By the will of the Supreme, one must take different bodies with different means for lying down."

"As soon as one comes to the platform of <i>bhakti-yoga,</i> one understands fully the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vāsudeva, is the goal of life (<i>vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ</i>). This is the instruction of all the Vedic literature (<i>vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ, sarva dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja</i>). There is no use in praising someone for material qualifications or blaspheming him for material disqualifications. In the material world, good and bad have no meaning because if one is good he may be elevated to a higher planetary system and if one is bad he may be degraded to the lower planetary systems. People of different mentalities are sometimes elevated and sometimes degraded, but this is not the goal of life. Rather, the goal of life is to become free from elevation and degradation and take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Therefore a saintly person does not discriminate between that which is supposedly good and supposedly bad; rather, he desires for everyone to be happy in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, which is the ultimate goal of life."

The <i>karmīs</i> are completely in illusion, the <i>jñānīs</i> are neither in illusion nor in positive knowledge, but the <i>yogīs,</i> especially the <i>bhakti-yogīs,</i> are completely on the spiritual platform.

"\"One who engages in full devotional service, who does not fall down under any circumstance, at once transcends the modes of material nature and thus comes to the level of Brahman.\" Thus a devotee's position is secure. A devotee is at once elevated to the spiritual platform. Others, such as <i>jñānīs</i> and <i>haṭha-yogīs,</i> can only gradually ascend to the spiritual platform by nullifying their material discrimination on the platform of psychology and nullifying the false ego, by which one thinks, \"I am this body, a product of matter.\" One must merge the false ego into the total material energy and merge the total material energy into the supreme energetic. This is the process of becoming free from material attraction."

"By an analytical study of the entire constitution of the body, one can surely come to the conclusion that the soul is different from all the body's material constituents, such as earth, water, fire and air. Thus the difference between the body and soul can be realized by a person who is thoughtful (<i>manīṣī</i> or <i>muni</i>), and after this realization of the individual spirit soul one can very easily understand the supreme spirit soul. If one thus realizes that the individual soul is subordinate to the supreme spirit soul, he achieves self-realization. As explained in the Thirteenth Chapter of <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> there are two souls within the body. The body is called <i>kṣetra,</i> and there are two <i>kṣetra-jñas,</i> or occupants of the body, namely the Supersoul (Paramātmā) and the individual soul. The Supersoul and the individual soul are like two birds sitting on the same tree (the material body). One bird, the individual, forgetful bird, is eating the fruit of the tree, not caring for the instructions of the other bird, which is only a witness to the activities of the first bird, who is his friend. When the forgetful bird comes to understand the supreme friend who is always with him and trying to give him guidance in different bodies, he takes shelter at the lotus feet of that supreme bird. As explained in the <i>yoga</i> process, <i>dhyānāvasthita-tad-gatena manasā paśyanti yaṁ yoginaḥ.</i> When one actually becomes a perfect <i>yogī,</i> by meditation he can see the supreme friend and surrender unto Him. This is the beginning of <i>bhakti-yoga,</i> or actual life in Kṛṣṇa consciousness."

"A person who is actually a devotee of Kṛṣṇa does not care about so-called public opinion and Vedic or philosophical literatures. Prahlāda Mahārāja, who is such a devotee, always defied the false instructions of his father and the so-called teachers who were appointed to teach him. Instead, he simply followed the instructions of Nārada Muni, his <i>guru,</i> and thus he always remained a stalwart devotee. This is the nature of an intelligent devotee. The <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam </i>instructs, <i>yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair yajanti hi sumedhasaḥ.</i> One who is actually very intelligent must join the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, realizing his own self as an eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa, and thus practice constant chanting of the holy name of the Lord—Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare."

|
||||
"A <i>guru,</i> or spiritual master, can be anyone who is well conversant with the science of Kṛṣṇa. Therefore although Prahlāda Mahārāja was a <i>gṛhastha</i> ruling over the demons, he was a <i>paramahaṁsa,</i> the best of human beings, and thus he is our <i>guru.</i> In the list of <i>gurus,</i> or authorities, Prahlāda Mahārāja's name is therefore mentioned:",

"The conclusion is that a <i>paramahaṁsa</i> is an exalted devotee (<i>bhagavat-priya</i>). Such a <i>paramahaṁsa</i> may be in any stage of life—<i>brahmacārī, gṛhastha, vānaprastha</i> or <i>sannyāsa</i>—and be equally liberated and exalted."
