"The Lord's glorious activities referred to in this connection took place after His personal bodyguards Jaya and Vijaya became Daityas, having been cursed by the great sages Sanaka, Sanātana, Sanat-kumāra and Sanandana. Jaya, as Hiraṇyākṣa, had to fight with Varāhadeva, and that same Varāhadeva is mentioned in regard to the Raivata millennium. The fighting, however, took place during the reign of the first Manu, Svāyambhuva. Therefore according to some authorities there are two Varāhas. According to others, however, Varāha appeared during the regime of Svāyambhuva Manu and stayed in the water until that of Raivata Manu. Some may doubt that this could be possible, but the answer is that everything is possible. If one could count the atoms within the universe, one could count the qualities of Lord Viṣṇu. But the atoms of the universe are impossible for anyone to count, and similarly no one can count the transcendental qualities of the Lord."

"It is described that while Durvāsā Muni was passing on the road, he saw Indra on the back of his elephant and was pleased to offer Indra a garland from his own neck. Indra, however, being too puffed up, took the garland, and without respect for Durvāsā Muni, he placed it on the trunk of his carrier elephant. The elephant, being an animal, could not understand the value of the garland, and thus the elephant threw the garland between its legs and smashed it. Seeing this insulting behavior, Durvāsā Muni immediately cursed Indra to be poverty-stricken, bereft of all material opulence. Thus the demigods, afflicted on one side by the fighting demons and on the other by the curse of Durvāsā Muni, lost all the material opulences in the three worlds.",
|
||||
"To be extremely opulent in materialistic advancement is sometimes very risky. The materially opulent person does not care about anyone, and thus he commits offenses to great personalities, such as devotees and great saints. This is the way of material opulence. As described by Śukadeva Gosvāmī, <i>dhana-durmadāndha:</i> too much wealth makes one blind. This happens even to Indra in his heavenly kingdom, and what to speak of others in this material world? When one is materially opulent, he should learn to be sober and well-behaved toward Vaiṣṇavas and saintly persons; otherwise he will fall down."

"After hearing from the demigods the real situation, Lord Brahmā was very much concerned because the demons were unnecessarily so powerful. When demons become powerful, the entire world is placed in an awkward position because demons are simply interested in their own sense gratification and not in the welfare of the world. Demigods or devotees, however, are concerned with the welfare of all living beings. Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī, for example, left his ministership and went to Vṛndāvana for the benefit of the entire world (<i>lokānāṁ hita-kāriṇau</i>). This is the nature of a saintly person or demigod. Even impersonalists think of the welfare of all people. Thus Brahmā was very much concerned at seeing the demons in power."

|
||||
"From this verse we can understand the situation of Kali-yuga, through which we are now passing. Just before the beginning of Kali-yuga—or, in other words, at the end of Dvāpara-yuga—Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa appeared and left His instructions in the form of <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> in which He asked all living entities to surrender unto Him. Since the beginning of Kali-yuga, however, people have practically been unable to surrender to the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, and therefore, after some five thousand years, Kṛṣṇa came again as Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu just to teach the entire world how to surrender unto Him, unto Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and thus be purified.",
|
||||
"Surrendering unto the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa means achieving complete purification. Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (18.66):",
|
||||
"<i>sarva-dharmān parityajya<br/> mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja<br/> ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo<br/> mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ</i>",
|
||||
"\"Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear.\" Thus as soon as one surrenders unto the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, one certainly becomes free from all contamination.",
|
||||
"Kali-yuga is full of contamination. This is described in the <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (12.3.51):",
|
||||
"<i>kaler doṣa-nidhe rājann<br/> asti hy eko mahān guṇaḥ<br/> kīrtanād eva kṛṣṇasya<br/> mukta-saṅgaḥ paraṁ vrajet</i>",
|
||||
"This age of Kali is full of unlimited faults. Indeed, it is just like an ocean of faults (<i>doṣa-nidhi</i>). But there is one chance, one opportunity. <i>Kīrtanād eva kṛṣṇasya mukta-saṅgaḥ paraṁ vrajet:</i> simply by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mantra,</i> one can be freed from the contamination of Kali-yuga and, in his original spiritual body, can return home, back to Godhead. This is the opportunity of Kali-yuga.",
|
||||
"When Kṛṣṇa appeared, He gave His orders, and when Kṛṣṇa Himself appeared as a devotee, as Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, He showed us the path by which to cross the ocean of Kali-yuga. That is the path of the Hare Kṛṣṇa movement. When Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu appeared, He ushered in the era for the <i>saṅkīrtana</i> movement. It is also said that for ten thousand years this era will continue. This means that simply by accepting the <i>saṅkīrtana</i> movement and chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mahā-mantra,</i> the fallen souls of this Kali-yuga will be delivered. After the Battle of Kurukṣetra, at which <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> was spoken, Kali-yuga continues for 432,000 years, of which only 5,000 years have passed. Thus there is still a balance of 427,000 years to come. Of these 427,000 years, the 10,000 years of the <i>saṅkīrtana</i> movement inaugurated by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu 500 years ago provide the opportunity for the fallen souls of Kali-yuga to take to the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mahā-mantra</i> and thus be delivered from the clutches of material existence and return home, back to Godhead.",
|
||||
"Chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mahā-mantra</i> is potent always, but it is especially potent in this age of Kali. Therefore Śukadeva Gosvāmī, while instructing Mahārāja Parīkṣit, stressed this chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mantra.</i>",

It is that simply by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mahā-mantra,</i> one can become free from material bondage and be promoted to the transcendental kingdom.\" (<i>Bhāg.</i> 12.3.51) Those who have accepted the task of spreading the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mahā-mantra</i> in full Kṛṣṇa consciousness should take this opportunity to deliver people very easily from the clutches of material existence. Our duty, therefore, is to follow the instructions of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and preach the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement all over the world very sincerely. This is the best welfare activity for the peace and prosperity of human society.",
|
||||
"Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's movement consists of spreading <i>kṛṣṇa-saṅkīrtana.</i> <i>Paraṁ vijayate śrī-kṛṣṇa-saṅkīrtanam:</i> \"All glories to the Śrī Kṛṣṇa <i>saṅkīrtana!</i>\" Why is it so glorious? This has also been explained by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. <i>Ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanam:</i> by the chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mahā-mantra,</i> one's heart is cleansed. The whole difficulty is that in this age of Kali there is no <i>sattva-guṇa</i> and no clearance of the heart, and therefore people are making the mistake of identifying with their bodies. Even the big philosophers and scientists with whom we deal are practically all under the impression that they are their bodies. The other day we were discussing a prominent philosopher, Thomas Huxley, who was proud of being an Englishman. This means that he was in the bodily conception of life. Everywhere we find this same misunderstanding. As soon as one is in the bodily conception of life, one is nothing but an animal like a cat or a dog (<i>sa eva go-kharaḥ</i>). Thus the most dangerous of the dirty things within our hearts is this misidentification of the body as the self. Under the influence of this misunderstanding, one thinks, \"I am this body. I am an Englishman. I am an Indian. I am an American. I am Hindu. I am Muslim.\" This misconception is the strongest impediment, and it must be removed. That is the instruction of <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> and of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Indeed, <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> begins with this instruction:",
|
||||
"<i>dehino 'smin yathā dehe<br/> kaumāraṁ yauvanaṁ jarā<br/> tathā dehāntara-prāptir<br/> dhīras tatra na muhyati</i>",
|
||||
"\"As the embodied soul continually passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. The self-realized soul is not bewildered by such a change.\" (Bg. 2.13) Although the soul is within the body, nevertheless, because of misunderstanding and animal propensities one accepts the body as the self. Caitanya Mahāprabhu therefore says, <i>ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanam.</i> To cleanse the core of the heart, which is full of misunderstanding, is possible only through <i>śrī-kṛṣṇa-saṅkīrtana.</i> The leaders of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement should very seriously take this opportunity to be kind to the fallen souls by delivering them from the misunderstanding of materialistic life.",
|
||||
"One cannot be happy in any way within this material world. As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (8.16):",
|
||||
"<i>ābrahma-bhuvanāl lokāḥ<br/> punar āvartino 'rjuna</i>",
|
||||
"\"From the highest planet in this material world down to the lowest, all are places of misery wherein repeated birth and death take place.\" Therefore, not to speak of going to the moon, even if one is promoted to the highest planetary system, Brahmaloka, there cannot be any happiness in this material world. If one actually wants happiness, one must go to the spiritual world. The material world is characterized by a struggle for existence, and survival of the fittest is a well-known principle, but the poor souls of this material world do not know what is survival and who is fit. Survival does not mean that one should die; survival means that one should not die, but should enjoy an everlastingly blissful life of knowledge. This is survival. The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is meant to make every person fit for survival. Indeed, it is meant to stop the struggle for existence. The <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> and <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> give definite directions on how to stop the struggle for existence and how to survive in eternal life. The <i>saṅkīrtana</i> movement, therefore, is a great opportunity. Simply by hearing <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> and chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mahā-mantra,</i> one becomes completely purified. Thus the struggle for existence ceases, and one goes back home, back to Godhead."

"Mahārāja Parīkṣit is addressed here as <i>arindama,</i> \"subduer of all enemies.\" Not only do we have enemies outside of our bodies, but within our bodies there are many enemies, such as lusty desires, anger and greed. Mahārāja Parīkṣit is specifically addressed as <i>arindama</i> because in his political life he was able to subdue all kinds of enemies, and even though he was a young king, as soon as he heard that he was going to die within seven days, he immediately left his kingdom. He did not follow the dictates of enemies within his body, such as lust, greed and anger. He was not at all angry with the <i>muni's</i> son who had cursed him. Rather, he accepted the curse and prepared for his death in the association of Śukadeva Gosvāmī. Death is inevitable; no one can surpass the force of death. Therefore Mahārāja Parīkṣit, while fully alive, wanted to hear <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.</i> He is consequently addressed here as <i>arindama.</i>",
|
||||
"Another word, <i>sura-priya,</i> is also significant. Although Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is equal toward everyone, He is especially inclined toward His devotees (<i>ye bhajanti tu māṁ bhaktyā mayi te teṣu cāpy aham</i>). The devotees are all demigods. There are two kinds of men within this world. One is called the <i>deva,</i> and the other is called the <i>asura.</i> The <i>Padma Purāṇa</i> states:",
|
||||
"<i>dvau bhūta-sargau loke 'smin<br/> daiva āsura eva ca<br/> viṣṇu-bhaktaḥ smṛto daiva<br/> āsuras tad-viparyayaḥ</i>",
|
||||
"Anyone who is a devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa is called a <i>deva,</i> and others, even though they may be devotees of demigods, are called <i>asuras.</i> Rāvaṇa, for example, was a great devotee of Lord Śiva, but he is described as an <i>asura.</i> Similarly, Hiraṇyakaśipu is described as a great devotee of Lord Brahmā, yet he was also an <i>asura.</i> Therefore, only the devotee of Lord Viṣṇu is called <i>sura,</i> not <i>asura.</i> Lord Kṛṣṇa is very much pleased with His devotees, even if they are not on the topmost stage of devotional service. Even on the lower stages of devotional service one is transcendental, and if one continues with devotional life, he continues to be a <i>deva</i> or <i>sura.</i> If one continues in this way, Kṛṣṇa will always be pleased with him and will give him all instructions so that he may very easily return home, back to Godhead.",
|
||||
"Concerning <i>ajitasya padam,</i> the abode of the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the milk ocean of this material world, Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura says: <i>padaṁ kṣīrodadhi-stha-śvetadvīpaṁ tamasaḥ prakṛteḥ param.</i> The island known as Śvetadvīpa, which is in the ocean of milk, is transcendental. It has nothing to do with this material world. A city government may have a rest house where the governor and important government officers stay. Such a rest house is not an ordinary house. Similarly, although Śvetadvīpa, which is in the ocean of milk, is in this material world, it is <i>paraṁ padam,</i> transcendental."

"It is said that when Brahmā and the other demigods go to see the Supreme Personality of Godhead in Śvetadvīpa, they cannot directly see Him, but their prayers are heard by the Lord, and the needful action is taken. This we have seen in many instances. The word <i>śruta-pūrvāya</i> is significant. We get experience by directly seeing or by hearing. If it is not possible to see someone directly, we can hear about him from authentic sources. Sometimes people ask whether we can show them God. This is ludicrous. It is not necessary for one to see God before he can accept God. Our sensory perception is always incomplete. Therefore, even if we see God, we may not be able to understand Him. When Kṛṣṇa was on earth, many, many people saw Him but could not understand that He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. <i>Avajānanti māṁ mūḍhā mānuṣīṁ tanum āśritam.</i> Even though the rascals and fools saw Kṛṣṇa personally, they could not understand that He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Even upon seeing God personally, one who is unfortunate cannot understand Him. Therefore we have to hear about God, Kṛṣṇa, from the authentic Vedic literature and from persons who understand the Vedic version properly. Even though Brahmā had not seen the Supreme Personality of Godhead before, he was confident that the Lord was there in Śvetadvīpa. Thus he took the opportunity to go there and offer prayers to the Lord.",
|

"These prayers were not ordinary concocted prayers. Prayers must be approved by Vedic literature, as indicated in this verse by the words <i>daivībhir gīrbhiḥ.</i> In our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement we do not allow any song that has not been approved or sung by bona fide devotees. We cannot allow cinema songs to be sung in the temple. We generally sing two songs. One is <i>śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya prabhu nityānanda śrī-advaita gadādhara śrīvāsādi-gaura-bhakta-vṛnda.</i> This is bona fide. It is always mentioned in the <i>Caitanya-caritāmṛta,</i> and it is accepted by the <i>ācāryas.</i> The other, of course, is the <i>mahā-mantra</i>—Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. We may also sing the songs of Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura, Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura and Locana dāsa Ṭhākura, but these two songs—<i>\"śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya</i>\" and the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mahā-mantra</i>—are sufficient to please the Supreme Personality of Godhead, although we cannot see Him. Seeing the Lord is not as important as appreciating Him from the authentic literature or the authentic statements of authorized persons."

"\"By Me, in My unmanifested form, this entire universe is pervaded.

Although all living entities engage in Your service, You do not depend on the service of anyone. Although this material world is created complete by You, everything depends on Your sanction.

The living entities depend on Your mercy for liberation, but when You want to give them liberation, You do not depend on anyone else. Indeed, by Your causeless mercy, You can give liberation to anyone. Those who receive Your mercy are called <i>kṛpā-siddha.</i> To reach the platform of perfection takes many, many lives (<i>bahūnāṁ janmanām ante jñānavān māṁ prapadyate</i>). Nonetheless, even without undergoing severe austerities, one can attain perfection by Your mercy. Devotional service should be unmotivated and free from impediments (<i>ahaituky apratihatā yayātmā suprasīdati</i>). This is the position of <i>nirāśiṣaḥ,</i> or freedom from expectations for results. A pure devotee continuously offers transcendental loving service to You, but You may nonetheless offer mercy to anyone, without depending on his service.\""

There are millions and millions of living entities, and the Lord gives them directions. Therefore He has no time to sleep, and He is never in ignorance of our activities. The Lord is the witness of everything; He sees what we are doing at every moment. The Lord is not covered by a body resulting from <i>karma.</i> Our bodies are formed as a result of our past deeds (<i>karmaṇā daiva-netreṇa</i>), but the Supreme Personality of Godhead does not have a material body, and therefore He has no <i>avidyā,</i> ignorance.

He is accompanied by associates like Nityānanda, Advaita, Gadādhara and Śrīvāsa. Those who are sufficiently intelligent worship this Supreme Personality of Godhead by performing <i>saṅkīrtana-yajña.</i> In this incarnation, the Supreme Lord declares Himself not to be the Supreme Lord, and therefore He is known as Tri-yuga."

"<i>Sattvaṁ viśuddhaṁ vasudeva-śabditam</i> (<i>Bhāg.</i> 4.3.23). In this material world, the three modes of material nature—goodness, passion and ignorance—prevail. Among these three, goodness is the platform of knowledge, and passion brings about a mixture of knowledge and ignorance, but the mode of ignorance is full of darkness. Therefore the Supreme Personality of Godhead is beyond darkness and passion. He is on the platform where goodness or knowledge is not disturbed by passion and ignorance. This is called the <i>vasudeva</i> platform. It is on this platform of <i>vasudeva</i> that Vāsudeva, or Kṛṣṇa, can appear. Thus Kṛṣṇa appeared on this planet as the son of Vasudeva. Because the Lord is situated beyond the three modes of material nature, He is unseen by those who are dominated by these three modes. One must therefore become <i>dhīra,</i> or undisturbed by the modes of material nature. The process of <i>yoga</i> may be practiced by one who is free from the agitation of these modes. Therefore <i>yoga</i> is defined in this way: <i>yoga indriya-saṁyamaḥ.</i> As previously explained, we are disturbed by the <i>indriyas,</i> or senses. Moreover, we are agitated by the three modes of material nature, which are imposed upon us by the external energy. In conditional life, the living entity moves turbulently in the whirlpool of birth and death, but when one is situated on the transcendental platform of <i>viśuddha-sattva,</i> pure goodness, he can see the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who sits on the back of Garuḍa. Lord Brahmā offers his respectful obeisances unto that Supreme Lord."

"The prowess of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Viṣṇu, certainly controls all living entities, so much so that the living entities have forgotten the aim of life. <i>Na te viduḥ svārtha-gatiṁ hi viṣṇum:</i> the living entities have forgotten that the aim of life is to go back home, back to Godhead. The external energy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead gives all conditioned souls what appears to be an opportunity to be happy within this material world, but that is <i>māyā;</i> in other words, it is a dream that is never to be fulfilled. Thus every living being is illusioned by the external energy of the Supreme Lord. That illusory energy is undoubtedly very strong, but she is fully under the control of the transcendental person who is described in this verse as <i>pareśam,</i> the transcendental Lord. The Lord is not a part of the material creation, but is beyond the creation. Therefore, not only does He control the conditioned souls through His external energy, but He also controls the external energy itself. <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> clearly says that the strong material energy controls everyone and that getting out of her control is extremely difficult. That controlling energy belongs to the Supreme Personality of Godhead and works under His control. The living entities, however, being subdued by the material energy, have forgotten the Supreme Personality of Godhead."

"Atheists and demons cannot understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead, although He is situated within everyone. For them the Lord finally appears in the form of death, as confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā </i>(<i>mṛtyuḥ sarva-haraś cāham</i>). Atheists think that they are independent, and therefore they do not care about the supremacy of the Lord, yet the Lord asserts His supremacy when He overcomes them as death. At the time of death, their attempts to use their so-called scientific knowledge and philosophical speculation to deny the supremacy of the Lord cannot work. Hiraṇyakaśipu, for example, was an exalted representative of the atheistic class of men. He always challenged the existence of God, and thus he became inimical even toward his own son. Everyone was afraid of Hiraṇyakaśipu's atheistic principles. Nonetheless, when Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva appeared in order to kill him, Hiraṇyakaśipu's atheistic principles could not save him. Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva killed Hiraṇyakaśipu and took away all his power, influence and pride. Atheistic men, however, never understand how everything they create is annihilated. The Supersoul is situated within them, but because of the predominance of the modes of passion and ignorance, they cannot understand the supremacy of the Lord. Even the demigods, the devotees, who are transcendentally situated or situated on the platform of goodness, are not fully aware of the qualities and position of the Lord. How then can the demons and atheists understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead? It is not possible. Therefore, to gain this understanding, the demigods, headed by Lord Brahmā, offered their respectful obeisances to the Lord."

"The word <i>durvibhāvyam</i> is very important in this verse. No one can understand how everything is happening in this material world by the arrangement of the Supreme Personality of Godhead through His material energies. As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (<i>9.10</i>), <i>mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sacarācaram:</i> everything is actually happening under the direction of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This much we can learn, but how it is happening is extremely difficult to understand. We cannot even understand how the affairs within our body are systematically taking place. The body is a small universe, and since we cannot understand how things are happening in this small universe, how can we understand the affairs of the bigger universe? Actually this universe is very difficult to understand, yet learned sages have advised, as Kṛṣṇa has also advised, that this material world is <i>duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam;</i> in other words, it is a place of misery and temporality. One must give up this world and go back home, back to the Personality of Godhead. Materialists may argue, \"If this material world and its affairs are impossible to understand, how can we reject it?\" The answer is provided by the word <i>prabudhāpabādham.</i> We have to reject this material world because it is rejected by those who are learned in Vedic wisdom. Even though we cannot understand what this material world is, we should be ready to reject it in accordance with the advice of learned persons, especially the advice of Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa says:",

"\"After attaining Me, the great souls, who are <i>yogīs</i> in devotion, never return to this temporary world, which is full of miseries, because they have attained the highest perfection.\" (Bg. 8.15) One has to return home, back to Godhead, for this is the highest perfection of life. To go back to Godhead means to reject this material world. Although we cannot understand the functions of this material world and whether it is good for us or bad for us, in accordance with the advice of the supreme authority we must reject it and go back home, back to Godhead."

"\"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.\" Thus it is not imagination but a fact that the Supreme Personality of Godhead, by His sweet will, appears in different incarnations, such as Matsya, Kūrma, Varāha, Nṛsiṁha, Vāmana, Paraśurāma, Rāmacandra, Balarāma, Buddha and many other forms. Devotees are always eager to see one of the Lord's innumerable forms. It is said that just as no one can count how many waves there are in the sea, no one can count the forms of the Lord. This does not mean, however, that anyone can claim to be a form of the Lord and be acceptable as an incarnation. The incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead must be accepted in terms of the descriptions found in the <i>śāstras.</i> Lord Brahmā is eager to see the incarnation of the Lord, or the original source of all incarnations; he is not eager to see an imposter. The incarnation's activities are proof of His identity. All the incarnations described in the <i>śāstras</i> act wonderfully (<i>keśava dhṛta-mīna-śarīra jaya jagadīśa hare</i>). It is only by the personal sweet will of the Supreme Personality of Godhead that He appears and disappears, and only fortunate devotees can expect to see Him face to face."

No <i>karmī can</i> expect to improve his business so swiftly, and besides that, whatever a <i>karmī</i> acquires is temporary and sometimes frustrating. In Kṛṣṇa consciousness, however, everything is encouraging and improving. The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is not very popular with the <i>karmīs</i> because this movement recommends that one refrain from illicit sex, meat-eating, gambling and intoxication. These are restrictions that <i>karmīs</i> very much dislike. Nonetheless, in the presence of so many enemies, this movement is progressing, going forward without impediments. If the devotees continue to spread this movement, dedicating life and soul to the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, no one will be able to check it. The movement will go forward without limits. Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa!"

"In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (2.40), the Lord says <i>svalpam apy asya dharmasya trāyate mahato bhayāt:</i> this <i>dharma,</i> devotional service, is so important that even if performed to a very small, almost negligible extent, it can give one the supreme result. There are many instances in the history of the world in which even a slight service rendered to the Lord has saved a living entity from the greatest danger. Ajāmila, for example, was saved by the Supreme Personality of Godhead from the greatest danger, that of going to hell. He was saved simply because he chanted the name Nārāyaṇa at the end of his life. When Ajāmila chanted this holy name of the Lord, Nārāyaṇa, he did not chant knowingly; actually he was calling his youngest son, whose name was Nārāyaṇa. Nonetheless, Lord Nārāyaṇa took this chanting seriously, and thus Ajāmila achieved the result of <i>ante nārāyaṇa-smṛtiḥ,</i> remembering Nārāyaṇa at the end of life. If one somehow or other remembers the holy name of Nārāyaṇa, Kṛṣṇa or Rāma at the end of life, he immediately achieves the transcendental result of going back home, back to Godhead.",

"The Supreme Personality of Godhead is actually the only object of our love. As long as we are in this material world we have so many desires to fulfill, but when we come in touch with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, we immediately become perfect and fully satisfied, just as a child is fully satisfied when he comes to the lap of his mother. Dhruva Mahārāja went to the forest to achieve some material result by austerity and penance, but when he actually saw the Supreme Personality of Godhead he said, \"I do not want any material benediction. I am completely satisfied.\" Even if one wants some material benefit from serving the Supreme Personality of Godhead, this can be achieved extremely easily, without hard labor. Therefore the <i>śāstra</i> recommends:",
|
||||
"<i>akāmaḥ sarva-kāmo vā<br/> mokṣa-kāma udāra-dhīḥ<br/> tīvreṇa bhakti-yogena<br/> yajeta puruṣaṁ param</i>",
|
||||
"\"Whether one desires everything or nothing or desires to merge into the existence of the Lord, he is intelligent only if he worships Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, by rendering transcendental loving service.\" (<i>Bhag.</i> 2.3.10) Even if one has material desires, one can undoubtedly achieve what he wants by rendering service to the Lord."

"The Supreme Personality of Godhead controls the material activities manifested by the three modes of material nature. As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā </i>[<i>13.15</i>]<i>,</i> <i>nirguṇaṁ guṇa-bhoktṛ ca:</i> the Supreme Personality of Godhead is always transcendental to the material qualities (<i>sattva-guṇa, rajo-guṇa</i> and <i>tamo-guṇa</i>), but nonetheless He is their controller. The Lord manifests Himself in three features—as Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Maheśvara—to control these three qualities. He personally takes charge of <i>sattva-guṇa</i> as Lord Viṣṇu, and He entrusts the charge of <i>rajo-guṇa</i> and <i>tamo-guṇa</i> to Lord Brahmā and Lord Śiva. Ultimately, however, He is the controller of all three <i>guṇas.</i> Lord Brahmā, expressing his appreciation, said that because Lord Viṣṇu had now taken charge of the activities of goodness, there was every hope that the demigods would be successful in fulfilling their desires. The demigods were harassed by the demons, who were infested with <i>tamo-guṇa.</i> However, as Lord Brahmā has previously described, since the time of <i>sattva-guṇa</i> had now arrived, the demigods could naturally expect to fulfill their desires. The demigods are supposedly well advanced in knowledge, yet they could not understand the knowledge of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore the Lord is addressed here as <i>anantāya.</i> Although Lord Brahmā knows past, present and future, he is unable to understand the unlimited knowledge of the Supreme Personality of Godhead."
