"translation": "<b>Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued:</b><b> Thereafter, the King of the elephants, Gajendra, fixed his mind in his heart with perfect intelligence and chanted a mantra which he had learned in his previous birth as Indradyumna and which he remembered by the grace of Kṛṣṇa.</b>",

||||

|

"Such remembrance is described in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (6.43-44):",
|
||||
"<i>tatra taṁ buddhi-saṁyogaṁ<br/> labhate paurva-dehikam<br/> yatate ca tato bhūyaḥ<br/> saṁsiddhau kuru-nandana</i>",
|
||||
"<i>pūrvābhyāsena tenaiva<br/> hriyate hy avaśo 'pi saḥ</i>",
|
||||
"In these verses it is assured that even if a person engaged in devotional service falls down, he is not degraded, but is placed in a position in which he will in due course of time remember the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As explained later, Gajendra was formerly King Indradyumna, and somehow or other in his next life he became King of the elephants. Now Gajendra was in danger, and although he was in a body other than that of a human being, he remembered the <i>stotra</i> he had chanted in his previous life. <i>Yatate ca tato bhūyaḥ saṁsiddhau kuru-nandana.</i> To enable one to achieve perfection, Kṛṣṇa gives one the chance to remember Him again. This is proved here, for although the King of the elephants, Gajendra, was put in danger, this was a chance for him to remember his previous devotional activities so that he could immediately be rescued by the Supreme Personality of Godhead.",
|
||||
"It is imperative, therefore, that all devotees in Kṛṣṇa consciousness practice chanting some <i>mantra.</i> Certainly one should chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mantra,</i> which is the <i>mahā-mantra,</i> or great <i>mantra,</i> and also one should practice chanting <i>cintāmaṇi-prakara-sadmasu</i> or the Nṛsiṁha <i>strotra</i> (<i>ito nṛsiṁhaḥ parato nṛsiṁho yato yato yāmi tato nṛsiṁhaḥ</i>). Every devotee should practice in order to chant some <i>mantra</i> perfectly so that even though he may be imperfect in spiritual consciousness in this life, in his next life he will not forget Kṛṣṇa consciousness, even if he becomes an animal. Of course, a devotee should try to perfect his Kṛṣṇa consciousness in this life, for simply by understanding Kṛṣṇa and His instructions, after giving up this body one can return home, back to Godhead. Even if there is some falldown, practice of Kṛṣṇa consciousness never goes in vain. For example, Ajāmila, in his boyhood, practiced chanting the name of Nārāyaṇa under the direction of his father, but later, in his youth, he fell down and became a drunkard, woman-hunter, rogue and thief. Nonetheless, because of chanting the name of Nārāyaṇa for the purpose of calling his son, whom he had named Nārāyaṇa, he became advanced, even though he was involved in sinful activities. Therefore, we should not forget the chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mantra</i> under any circumstances. It will help us in the greatest danger, as we find in the life of Gajendra."

"In this verse the words <i>etac cid-ātmakam</i> are very important. The material body certainly consists only of material elements, but when one awakens to Kṛṣṇa conscious understanding, the body is no longer material but spiritual. The material body is meant for sense enjoyment, whereas the spiritual body engages in the transcendental loving service of the Lord. Therefore, a devotee who engages in the service of the Supreme Lord and who constantly thinks of Him should never be considered to have a material body. It is therefore enjoined, <i>guruṣu nara-matiḥ:</i> one should stop thinking of the spiritual master as an ordinary human being with a material body. <i>Arcye viṣṇau śilā-dhīḥ:</i> everyone knows that the Deity in the temple is made of stone, but to think that the Deity is merely stone is an offense. Similarly, to think that the body of the spiritual master consists of material ingredients is offensive. Atheists think that devotees foolishly worship a stone statue as God and an ordinary man as the <i>guru.</i> The fact is, however, that by the grace of Kṛṣṇa's omnipotence, the so-called stone statue of the Deity is directly the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and the body of the spiritual master is directly spiritual. A pure devotee who is engaged in unalloyed devotional service should be understood to be situated on the transcendental platform (<i>sa guṇān samatītyaitān brahma-bhūyāya kalpate</i>). Let us therefore offer our obeisances unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead, by whose mercy so-called material things also become spiritual when they are engaged in spiritual activity.",
|

"<i>Oṁkāra</i> (<i>praṇava</i>) is the symbolic sound representation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. <i>Oṁ tat sad iti nirdeśo brahmaṇas tri-vidhaḥ smṛtaḥ:</i> the three words <i>oṁ tat sat</i> immediately invoke the Supreme Person. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says that He is <i>oṁkāra</i> in all the Vedic <i>mantras</i> (<i>praṇavaḥ sarva-vedeṣu</i>). The Vedic <i>mantras</i> are pronounced beginning with <i>oṁkāra</i> to indicate immediately the Supreme Personality of Godhead. <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam,</i> for example, begins with the words <i>oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.</i> There is no difference between the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vāsudeva, and <i>oṁkāra</i> (<i>praṇava</i>). We should be careful to understand that <i>oṁkāra</i> does not indicate anything <i>nirākāra,</i> or formless. Indeed, this verse immediately says, <i>oṁ namo bhagavate.</i> Bhagavān is a person. Thus <i>oṁkāra</i> is the representation of the Supreme Person. <i>Oṁkāra</i> is not meant to be impersonal, as the Māyāvādī philosophers consider it to be. This is distinctly expressed here by the word <i>puruṣāya.</i> The supreme truth addressed by <i>oṁkāra</i> is <i>puruṣa,</i> the Supreme Person; He is not impersonal. Unless He is a person, how can He control the great, stalwart controllers of this universe? Lord Viṣṇu, Lord Brahmā and Lord Śiva are the supreme controllers of this universe, but Lord Viṣṇu is offered obeisances even by Lord Śiva and Lord Brahmā. Therefore this verse uses the word <i>pareśāya,</i> which indicates that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is worshiped by exalted <i>demigods.</i> <i>Pareśāya</i> means <i>parameśvara.</i> Lord Brahmā and Lord Śiva are <i>īśvaras,</i> great controllers, but Lord Viṣṇu is <i>parameśvara,</i> the supreme controller."

What then is to be said of ordinary speculators like the so-called philosophers of this material world? For them He is impossible to understand. Therefore we must accept the statements given by the Supreme when He kindly incarnates to instruct us.

"In the <i>Viṣṇu Purāṇa</i> it is said, <i>guṇāṁś ca doṣāṁś ca mune vyatīta samasta-kalyāṇa-guṇātmako hi.</i> The Supreme Personality of Godhead has no material form, qualities or faults. He is spiritual and is the only reservoir of all spiritual qualities. As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.8) by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, <i>paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām.</i> The Lord's activities of saving the devotees and annihilating the demons are transcendental. Anyone annihilated by the Supreme Personality of Godhead gets the same result as a devotee who is protected by the Lord; both of them are transcendentally promoted. The only difference is that a devotee goes directly to the spiritual planets and becomes an associate of the Supreme Lord, whereas demons are promoted to <i>brahmaloka,</i> the impersonal effulgence of the Lord. Both of them, however, are transcendentally promoted. The Lord's killing or annihilating of the demons is not exactly like the killing of this material world. Although He appears to act within the modes of material nature, He is <i>nirguṇa,</i> above the modes of nature. His name is not material; otherwise how could one get liberation by chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Rāma? The names of the Lord like Rāma and Kṛṣṇa are nondifferent from the person Rāma and Kṛṣṇa. Thus by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mantra</i> one constantly associates with Rāma and Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and therefore becomes liberated. A practical example is Ajāmila, who always remained transcendental to his activities simply by chanting the name Nārāyaṇa. If this was true of Ajāmila, what is to be said of the Supreme Lord? When the Lord comes to this material world, He does not become a product of matter. This is confirmed throughout <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (<i>janma-karma ca me divyam, avajānanti māṁ mūḍhāḥ mānuṣīṁ tanum āśritam</i>). Therefore, when the Supreme Personality of Godhead—Rāma or Kṛṣṇa—descends to act transcendentally for our benefit, we should not consider Him an ordinary human being. When the Lord comes, He does so on the basis of His spiritual potency (<i>sambhavāmy ātma-māyayā</i>). Because He is not forced to come by the material energy, He is always transcendental. One should not consider the Supreme Lord an ordinary human being. Material names and forms are contaminated, but spiritual name and spiritual form are transcendental."

"In the previous verses it has been described that although the Supreme Personality of Godhead has no material form, He accepts innumerable forms to favor His devotees and kill the demons. As stated in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam,</i> there are so many incarnations of the Supreme Personality of Godhead that they are like the waves of a river. The waves of a river flow incessantly, and no one can count how many waves there are. Similarly, no one can calculate when and how the different incarnations of the Lord appear according to the necessities of time, place and candidates. The Lord appears perpetually. As Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.7):",
|
||||
"<i>yadā yadā hi dharmasya<br/> glānir bhavati bhārata<br/> abhyutthānam adharmasya<br/> tadātmānaṁ sṛjāmy aham</i>",
|
||||
"\"Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion—at that time I descend Myself.\" In the material world there is always the possibility of deviation from Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and therefore Kṛṣṇa and His devotees always act in various forms to curb such godlessness.",
|
||||
"Even impersonalists who stress the knowledge feature of the Supreme Personality of Godhead want to merge in the effulgence of the Lord. Therefore, here the word <i>jñāna-ghanāya</i> indicates that for atheists who disbelieve in the form and existence of the Lord, all these various incarnations appear. Since the Lord comes to teach in so many forms, no one can say that there is no God. The word <i>jñāna-ghanāya</i> is especially used here to refer to those whose knowledge has become solidified by dint of their searching for the Lord through speculative philosophical understanding. Superficial knowledge is useless for understanding the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but when one's knowledge becomes extremely intense and deep, one understands Vāsudeva (<i>vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ</i>). A <i>jñānī</i> attains this stage after many, many births. Therefore the word <i>jñāna-ghanāya</i> is used here. The word <i>śantāya</i> indicates that Lord Vāsudeva is situated in everyone's heart but does not act with the living entity. Impersonalist <i>jñānīs</i> realize Vāsudeva when they are fully mature in knowledge (<i>vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ</i>)."

"In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (13.3) the Lord says, <i>kṣetra-jñaṁ cāpi māṁ viddhi sarva-kṣetreṣu bhārata:</i> \"O scion of Bharata, you should understand that I am also the knower in all bodies.\" Every one of us is thinking, \"I am this body\" or \"This is my body,\" but actually the truth is different. Our bodies are given to us by the supreme proprietor. The living entity, who is also <i>kṣetra-jña,</i> or the knower of the body, is not the body's only proprietor; the actual proprietor of the body is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the supreme <i>kṣetra-jña.</i> For example, we may rent and occupy a house, but actually the owner of the house is the landlord. Similarly, we may be allotted a certain type of body as a facility with which to enjoy this material world, but the actual proprietor of the body is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He is called <i>sarvādhyakṣa</i> because everything in the material world works under His supervision. This is confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (<i>9.10</i>), wherein the Lord says, <i>mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sacarācaram:</i> \"This material nature, working under My direction, O son of Kuntī, is producing all moving and unmoving beings.\" From <i>prakṛti,</i> or material nature, come so many varieties of living entities, including aquatics, plants, trees, insects, birds, animals, human beings and demigods. <i>Prakṛti</i> is the mother, and the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the father (<i>ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā</i>).",
|
||||
"<i>Prakṛti</i> can give us material bodies, but as spirit souls we are parts and parcels of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (15.7): <i>mamaivāṁśo jīva-loke jīva-bhūtaḥ sanātanaḥ.</i> The living entity, being part and parcel of God, is not a product of this material world. Therefore the Lord is described in this verse as <i>ātma-mūla,</i> the original source of everything. He is the seed of all existences (<i>bījaṁ māṁ sarva-bhūtānām</i>). In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (14.4) the Lord says:",
|
||||
"<i>sarva-yoniṣu kaunteya<br/> mūrtayaḥ sambhavanti yāḥ<br/> tāsāṁ brahma mahad yonir<br/> ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā</i>",
|
||||
"\"It should be understood that all living entities, in all species of life, O son of Kuntī, are made possible by birth in this material nature, and that I am the seed-giving father.\" Plants, trees, insects, aquatics, demigods, beasts, birds and all other living entities are sons or parts and parcels of the Supreme Lord, but because they are struggling with different mentalities, they have been given different types of bodies (<i>manaḥ ṣaṣṭhānīndriyāṇi prakṛti-sthāni karṣati</i>). Thus they have become sons of <i>prakṛti,</i> or material nature, which is impregnated by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Every living entity in this material world is struggling for existence, and the only salvation or relief from the cycle of birth and death in the evolutionary process is full surrender. This is indicated by the word <i>namaḥ,</i> \"I offer my respectful obeisances unto You.\""

"To paraphrase this verse: \"The objectives of sensual activities are actually observed by You. Without Your direction, the living entity cannot take even a step forward. As confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (15.15), <i>sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭo mattaḥ smṛtir jñānam apohanaṁ ca.</i> You are situated in everyone's heart, and only from You come remembrance and forgetfulness. <i>Chāyeva yasya bhuvanāni bibharti durgā </i>[<i>Bs</i>. 5.44]<i>.</i> The living entity under the clutches of <i>māyā</i> wants to enjoy this material world, but unless You give him directions and remind him, he cannot make progress in pursuing his shadowy objective in life. The conditioned soul wrongly progresses toward the wrong objective, life after life, and he is reminded of that objective by You. In one life the conditioned soul desires to progress toward a certain objective, but after his body changes, he forgets everything. Nonetheless, my Lord, because he wanted to enjoy something of this world, You remind him of this in his next birth. <i>Mattaḥ smṛtir jñānam apohanaṁ ca.</i> Because the conditioned soul wants to forget You, by Your grace You give him opportunities, life after life, by which he can almost perpetually forget You. Therefore You are eternally the director of the conditioned souls. It is because You are the original cause of everything that everything appears real. The ultimate reality is Your Lordship, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. I offer my respectful obeisances unto You.\"",
|
||||
"The word <i>sarva-pratyaya-hetave</i> is explained by Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura, who says that a result gives one a glimpse of its cause. For example, since an earthen pot is the result of the actions of a potter, by seeing the earthen pot one can guess at the existence of the potter. Similarly, this material world resembles the spiritual world, and any intelligent person can guess how it is acting. As explained in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> <i>mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sa-carācaram.</i> The activities of the material world suggest that behind them is the superintendence of the Lord."

"The words <i>bṛhate namas te</i> have been explained by Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura: <i>bṛhate śrī-kṛṣṇāya.</i> The Supreme Personality of Godhead is Kṛṣṇa. There are many <i>tattvas,</i> such as <i>viṣṇu-tattva, jīva-tattva</i> and <i>śakti-tattva,</i> but above everything is the <i>viṣṇu-tattva,</i> which is all-pervading. This all-pervading feature of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is explained in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (10.42), wherein the Lord says:",
|
||||
"<i>athavā bahunaitena<br/> kiṁ jñātena tavārjuna<br/> viṣṭabhyāham idaṁ kṛtsnam<br/> ekāṁśena sthito jagat</i>",
|
||||
"\"But what need is there, Arjuna, for all this detailed knowledge? With a single fragment of Myself I pervade and support this entire universe.\" Thus Kṛṣṇa says that the entire material world is maintained by His partial representation as Paramātmā. The Lord enters every universe as Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu and then expands Himself as Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu to enter the hearts of all living entities and even enter the atoms. <i>Aṇḍāntara-stha-paramāṇu-cayāntara-stham.</i> Every universe is full of atoms, and the Lord is not only within the universe but also within the atoms. Thus within every atom the Supreme Lord exists in His Viṣṇu feature as Paramātmā, but all the <i>viṣṇu-tattvas</i> emanate from Kṛṣṇa. As confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (10.2), <i>aham ādir hi devānām:</i> Kṛṣṇa is the <i>ādi,</i> or beginning, of the <i>devas</i> of this material world—Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Maheśvara. Therefore He is described here as <i>bhagavate bṛhate.</i> Everyone is <i>bhagavān</i>—everyone possesses opulence—but Kṛṣṇa is <i>bṛhān bhagavān,</i> the possessor of unlimited opulence. <i>Īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ.</i> Kṛṣṇa is the origin of everyone. <i>Ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavaḥ.</i> Even Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Maheśvara come from Kṛṣṇa. <i>Mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyāt kiñcid asti dhanañjaya:</i> there is no personality superior to Kṛṣṇa. Therefore Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura says that <i>bhagavate bṛhate</i> means \"unto Śrī Kṛṣṇa.\"",
|
||||
"In this material world, everyone is a <i>paśu,</i> an animal, because of the bodily conception of life.",
|
||||
"<i>yasyātma-buddhiḥ kuṇape tri-dhātuke<br/> sva-dhīḥ kalatrādiṣu bhauma ijya-dhīḥ<br/> yat tīrtha-buddhiḥ salile na karhicij<br/> janeṣv abhijñeṣu sa eva go-kharaḥ</i>",
|
||||
"\"A human being who identifies the body made of three elements as the self, who considers the by-products of the body to be his kinsmen, who considers the land of his birth to be worshipable, and who goes to a place of pilgrimage simply to bathe rather than to meet men of transcendental knowledge there is to be considered like a cow or an ass.\" (<i>Bhāg.</i> 10.84.13) Practically everyone, therefore, is a <i>paśu,</i> an animal, and everyone is attacked by the crocodile of material existence. Not only the King of the elephants but every one of us is being attacked by the crocodile and is suffering the consequences.",
|
||||
"Only Kṛṣṇa can deliver us from this material existence. Indeed, He is always trying to deliver us. <i>Īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati.</i> He is within our hearts and is not at all inattentive. His only aim is to deliver us from material life. It is not that He becomes attentive to us only when we offer prayers to Him. Even before we offer our prayers, He incessantly tries to deliver us. He is never lazy in regard to our deliverance. Therefore this verse says, <i>bhūri-karuṇāya namo 'layāya.</i> It is the causeless mercy of the Supreme Lord that He always tries to bring us back home, back to Godhead. God is liberated, and He tries to make us liberated, but although He is constantly trying, we refuse to accept His instructions (<i>sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja</i>). Nonetheless, He has not become angry. Therefore He is described here as <i>bhūri-karuṇāya,</i> unlimitedly merciful in delivering us from this miserable material condition of life and taking us back home, back to Godhead."

Thus I pray to that Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is eternally existing, who is invisible, who is the Lord of all great personalities, such as Brahmā, and who is available only by transcendental bhakti-yoga.

"\"One should render transcendental loving service to the Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa favorably and without desire for material profit or gain through fruitive activities or philosophical speculation. That is called pure devotional service.\" Unalloyed devotees have nothing to ask from the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but Gajendra, the King of the elephants, was circumstantially asking for an immediate benediction because he had no other way to be rescued. Sometimes, when there is no alternative, a pure devotee, being fully dependent on the mercy of the Supreme Lord, prays for some benediction. But in such a prayer there is also regret. One who always hears and chants about the transcendental pastimes of the Lord is always situated on a platform on which he has nothing to ask in terms of material benefits. Unless one is a completely pure devotee, one cannot enjoy the transcendental bliss derived from chanting and dancing in the ecstasy of the <i>saṅkīrtana</i> movement. Such ecstasy is not possible for an ordinary devotee. Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu showed us how one can enjoy transcendental bliss simply by chanting, hearing and dancing in ecstasy. This is <i>bhakti-yoga.</i> Therefore the King of the elephants, Gajendra, said, <i>ādhyātmika-yoga-gamyam,</i> indicating that unless one is situated on this transcendental platform, one cannot approach the Supreme Lord. The benediction of being able to approach the Lord can be achieved after many, many births, yet Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu has awarded this benediction to everyone, even to the fallen souls who have no heritage of anything in spiritual life. That is actually being seen in the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Therefore the path of <i>bhakti-yoga</i> is the spotless process by which to approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead. <i>Bhaktyāham ekayā grāhyaḥ:</i> only through devotional service can one approach the Supreme Lord. The Lord says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (7.1):",
|
||||
"<i>mayy āsakta-manāḥ pārtha<br/> yogaṁ yuñjan mad-āśrayaḥ<br/> asaṁśayaṁ samagraṁ māṁ<br/> yathā jñāsyasi tac chṛṇu</i>",
|
||||
"\"Now hear, O son of Pṛthā [Arjuna], how by practicing <i>yoga</i> in full consciousness of Me, with mind attached to Me, you can know Me in full, free from doubt.\" Simply by being attached to Kṛṣṇa consciousness and by thinking of the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa constantly, one can fully understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead, without a doubt."

There is no need to live as an elephant or man, American or Indian; one should desire only to achieve liberation from the cycle of birth and death. Because of ignorance, we consider every life offered by nature to be happy and pleasing, but in the degraded life within this material world, from the life of Lord Brahmā down to that of an ant, no one can actually be happy. We are making so many plans to live happily, but there cannot be any happiness in this material world, however we may try to make a permanent settlement in this life or that."

"The King of the elephants, Gajendra, simply accepted that there must be someone who has created this cosmic manifestation and has supplied its ingredients. This should be admitted by everyone, even the most determined atheists. Why, then, do the nondevotees and atheists not admit this? The reason is that they are polluted by the reactions of their fruitive activities. One must be freed from all the dirt accumulated within the heart due to fruitive activities performed one after another. One must wash off this dirt by practicing <i>bhakti-yoga.</i> <i>Yoga-randhita-karmāṇaḥ.</i> As long as one is covered by material nature's modes of ignorance and passion, there is no possibility of understanding the Supreme Lord. <i>Tadā rajas-tamo-bhāvāḥ kāma-lobhādayaś ca ye.</i> When one is freed from the modes of ignorance and passion, one becomes free from the lowest qualities—<i>kāma</i> and <i>lobha,</i> lust and greed.",
|
||||
"Nowadays there are so many <i>yoga</i> schools to encourage people in developing their lusty desires and greed through the practice of <i>yoga.</i> People are therefore very much fond of so-called <i>yoga</i> practice. The actual practice of <i>yoga,</i> however, is described here. As authoritatively stated in the <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (12.13.1), <i>dhyānāvasthita-tad-gatena manasā paśyanti yaṁ yoginaḥ:</i> a <i>yogī</i> is one who always meditates on the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is also confirmed in the <i>Brahma-saṁhitā</i> (5.38):",

"<i>premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena<br/> santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti<br/> yaṁ śyāmasundaram acintya-guṇa-svarūpaṁ<br/> govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi</i>",

"\"I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who is Śyāmasundara, Kṛṣṇa Himself, with inconceivable innumerable attributes, whom the pure devotees see in their heart of hearts with the eye of devotion tinged with the salve of love.\" The <i>bhakti-yogī</i> constantly sees Śyāmasundara—beautiful Lord Kṛṣṇa with His blackish bodily hue. Because the King of the elephants, Gajendra, thought himself an ordinary animal, he thought himself unfit to see the Lord. In his humility, he thought that he could not practice <i>yoga.</i> In other words, how can those who are like animals in the bodily concept of life, and who have no purity of consciousness, practice <i>yoga</i>? In the present day, people who have no control over their senses, who have no understanding of philosophy and who do not follow religious principles or rules and regulations are nonetheless pretending to be <i>yogīs.</i> This is the greatest anomaly in the practice of mystic <i>yoga.</i>"

"As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> every living entity—regardless of whether he be human, demigod, animal, bird, bee or whatever—is part and parcel of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Lord and the living entity are intimately related like father and son. Unfortunately, because of material contact, the living entity forgets this and wants to enjoy the material world independently, according to his own plan. This illusion (<i>māyā</i>) is very difficult to surmount. <i>Māyā</i> covers the living entity because of his willingness to forget the Supreme Personality of Godhead and make his own plan to enjoy this material world. As long as this contamination continues, the conditioned soul will be unable to understand his real identity and will perpetually continue under illusion, life after life. <i>Ato gṛha-kṣetra-sutāpta-vittair janasya moho 'yam ahaṁ mameti</i> (<i>Bhāg.</i> 5.5.8). As long as the living entity is not enlightened so that he may understand his real position, he will be attracted to materialistic life, to house, country or field, to society, sons, family, community, bank balance and so on. Covered by all this, he will continue to think, \"I am this body, and everything related to this body is mine.\" This materialistic conception of life is extremely difficult to surmount, but one who surrenders to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as did Gajendra, the King of the elephants, comes to enlightenment on the Brahman platform.",
|
||||
"<i>brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā<br/> na śocati na kāṅkṣati<br/> samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu<br/> mad-bhaktiṁ labhate parām</i>",
|
||||
"\"One who is transcendentally situated at once realizes the Supreme Brahman and becomes fully joyful. He never laments nor desires to have anything; he is equally disposed toward all living entities. In that state he attains pure devotional service unto Me.\" (Bg. 18.54) Since a devotee is completely on the Brahman platform, he is not jealous of any other living entity (<i>samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu</i>)."

Thus none of them approached him. However, because Lord Hari is the Supersoul, Puruṣottama, the Personality of Godhead, He appeared before Gajendra.</b>",

"From the description of Gajendra, he apparently was aiming at the supreme authority although he did not know who the supreme authority is. He conjectured, \"There is a supreme authority who is above everything.\" Under the circumstances, the Lord's various expansions, such as Lord Brahmā, Lord Śiva, Candra and Indra, all thought, \"Gajendra is not asking our help. He is asking the help of the Supreme, who is above all of us.\" As Gajendra has described, the Supreme Lord has various parts and parcels, including the demigods, human beings and animals, all covered by separate forms. Although the demigods are in charge of maintaining different aspects of the universe, Gajendra thought that they were unable to rescue him. <i>Hariṁ vinā naiva mṛtiṁ taranti:</i> no one can rescue anyone from the dangers of birth, death, old age and disease. It is only the Supreme Personality of Godhead who can rescue one from the dangers of material existence. Therefore an intelligent person, to get free from this dangerous existence, approaches the Supreme Personality of Godhead, not any demigod. As confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (7.20), <i>kāmais tais tair hṛta-jñānāḥ prapadyante 'nya-devatāḥ:</i> those who are unintelligent approach the various demigods for temporary material benefits. Actually, however, these demigods cannot rescue the living entity from the dangers of material existence. Like other living entities, the demigods are merely external parts of the Supreme Personality of Godhead's transcendental body. As stated in the Vedic <i>mantras, sa ātma aṅgāny anyā devatāḥ.</i> Within the body is the <i>ātmā,</i> the soul, whereas the various parts of the body like the hands and legs are external. Similarly, the <i>ātmā</i> of the entire cosmic manifestation is Nārāyaṇa, Lord Viṣṇu, and all the demigods, human beings and other living entities are parts of His body.",
|
||||
"It may also be concluded that since a tree lives on the strength of its root and when the root is nourished with water all the parts of the tree are nourished, one should worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the original root of everything. Although the Supreme Personality of Godhead is very difficult to approach, He is very near to us because He lives within our hearts. As soon as the Lord understands that one is seeking His favor by fully surrendering, naturally He immediately takes action. Therefore although the demigods did not come to the aid of Gajendra, the Supreme Personality of Godhead immediately appeared before him because of his fervent prayer. This does not mean that the demigods were angry with Gajendra, for actually when Lord Viṣṇu is worshiped, all the other demigods are also worshiped. <i>Yasmin tuṣṭe jagat tuṣṭam:</i> if the Supreme Personality of Godhead is satisfied, everyone is satisfied.",

|
||||
"\"As pouring water on the root of a tree energizes the trunk, branches, twigs and everything else, and as supplying food to the stomach enlivens the senses and limbs of the body, so simply worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead through devotional service automatically satisfies the demigods, who are parts of that Supreme Personality.\" (<i>Bhāg. </i>4.31.14) When the Supreme Personality of Godhead is worshiped, all the demigods are satisfied."

A devotee does not consider a dangerous position to be dangerous, for in such a dangerous position he can fervently pray to the Lord in great ecstasy. Thus a devotee regards danger as a good opportunity. <i>Tat te'nukampāṁ susamīkṣamāṇaḥ.</i> When a devotee is in great danger, he sees that danger to be the great mercy of the Lord because it is an opportunity to think of the Lord very sincerely and with undiverted attention. <i>Tat te 'nukampāṁ susamīkṣamāṇo bhuñjāna evātma-kṛtaṁ vipākam</i> (<i>Bhāg.</i> 10.14.8). He does not accuse the Supreme Personality of Godhead for having let His devotee fall into such a dangerous condition. Rather, he considers that dangerous condition to be due to his past misdeeds and takes it as an opportunity to pray to the Lord and offer thanks for having been given such an opportunity. When a devotee lives in this way, his salvation—his going back home, back to Godhead—is guaranteed. We can see this to be true from the example of Gajendra, who anxiously prayed to the Lord and thus received an immediate chance to return home, back to Godhead."
