"Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura remarks that Bali Mahārāja remained silent at a critical point. How could he disobey the instruction of Śukrācārya, his spiritual master? It is the duty of such a sober personality as Bali Mahārāja to abide by the orders of his spiritual master immediately, as his spiritual master had advised. But Bali Mahārāja also considered that Śukrācārya was no longer to be accepted as a spiritual master, for he had deviated from the duty of a spiritual master. According to <i>śāstra,</i> the duty of the <i>guru</i> is to take the disciple back home, back to Godhead. If he is unable to do so and instead hinders the disciple in going back to Godhead, he should not be a <i>guru.</i> <i>Gurur na sa syāt</i> (<i>Bhāg.</i> 5.5.18). One should not become a <i>guru</i> if he cannot enable his disciple to advance in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. The goal of life is to become a devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa so that one may be freed from the bondage of material existence (<i>tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mam eti so 'rjuna</i>). The spiritual master helps the disciple attain this stage by developing Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Now Śukrācārya had advised Bali Mahārāja to deny the promise to Vāmanadeva. Under the circumstances, therefore, Bali Mahārāja thought that there would be no fault if he disobeyed the order of his spiritual master. He deliberated on this point—should he refuse to accept the advice of his spiritual master, or should he independently do everything to please the Supreme Personality of Godhead? He took some time. Therefore it is said, <i>tūṣṇīṁ bhūtvā kṣaṇaṁ rajann uvācāvahito gurum.</i> After deliberating on this point, he decided that Lord Viṣṇu should be pleased in all circumstances, even at the risk of ignoring the guru's advice to the contrary.",
|
||||
"Anyone who is supposed to be a <i>guru</i> but who goes against the principle of <i>viṣṇu-bhakti</i> cannot be accepted as a <i>guru.</i> If one has falsely accepted such a <i>guru,</i> one should reject him. Such a <i>guru</i> is described as follows (<i>Mahābhārata, Udyoga </i><b><i>179.25</i></b>):",
|
||||
"<i>guror apy avaliptasya<br/> kāryākāryam ajānataḥ<br/> utpatha-pratipannasya<br/> parityāgo vidhīyate</i>",
|
||||
"Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī has advised that such a useless <i>guru,</i> a family priest acting as <i>guru,</i> should be given up, and that the proper, bona fide <i>guru</i> should be accepted.",
|
||||
"<i>ṣaṭ-karma-nipuṇo vipro<br/> mantra-tantra-viśāradaḥ<br/> avaiṣṇavo gurur na syād<br/> vaiṣṇavaḥ śvapaco guruḥ</i>",
|
||||
"\"A scholarly <i>brāhmaṇa</i> expert in all subjects of Vedic knowledge is unfit to become a spiritual master without being a Vaiṣṇava, but if a person born in a family of a lower caste is a Vaiṣṇava, he can become a spiritual master.\" (<i>Padma Purāṇa</i>)"

"Bali Mahārāja's grave answer to Śukrācārya is meaningful. Śukrācārya stressed that one's material means of livelihood and one's material reputation, sense gratification and economic development must continue properly. To see to this is the first duty of a man who is a householder, especially one who is interested in material affairs. If a religious principle does not affect one's material condition, it is to be accepted. At the present time, in this age of Kali, this idea is extremely prominent. No one is prepared to accept any religious principle if it hampers material prosperity. Śukrācārya, being a person of this material world, did not know the principles of a devotee. A devotee is determined to serve the Supreme Personality of Godhead to His full satisfaction. Anything that hampers such determination should certainly be rejected. This is the principle of <i>bhakti.</i> <i>Ānukūlyasya saṅkalpaḥ prātikūlyasya varjanam</i> (<i>Cc. Madhya</i> 22.100). To perform devotional service, one must accept only that which is favorable and reject that which is unfavorable. Bali Mahārāja had the opportunity to contribute everything he possessed to the lotus feet of Lord Vāmanadeva, but Śukrācārya was putting forward a material argument to hamper this process of devotional service. Under the circumstances, Bali Mahārāja decided that such hindrances should certainly be avoided. In other words, he decided immediately to reject the advice of Śukrācārya and go on with his duty. Thus he gave all his possessions to Lord Vāmanadeva."

"Bali Mahārāja had already been blessed by his grandfather Prahlāda Mahārāja. Therefore, he was a pure devotee, although born in a family of demons. There are two kinds of highly elevated devotees, called <i>sādhana-siddha</i> and <i>kṛpā-siddha.</i> <i>Sādhana-siddha</i> refers to one who has become a devotee by regular execution of the regulative principles mentioned in the <i>śāstras,</i> as ordered and directed by the spiritual master. If one regularly executes such devotional service, he will certainly attain perfection in due course of time. But there are other devotees, who may not have undergone all the required details of devotional service but who, by the special mercy of <i>guru</i> and Kṛṣṇa—the spiritual master and the Supreme Personality of Godhead—have immediately attained the perfection of pure devotional service. Examples of such devotees are the <i>yajña-patnīs,</i> Mahārāja Bali and Śukadeva Gosvāmī. The <i>yajña-patnīs</i> were the wives of ordinary <i>brāhmaṇas</i> engaged in fruitive activities. Although the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> were very learned and advanced in Vedic knowledge, they could not achieve the mercy of Kṛṣṇa-Balarāma, whereas their wives achieved complete perfection in devotional service, despite their being women. Similarly, Vairocani, Bali Mahārāja, received the mercy of Prahlāda Mahārāja, and by Prahlāda Mahārāja's mercy he also received the mercy of Lord Viṣṇu, who appeared before him as a <i>brahmacārī</i> beggar. Thus Bali Mahārāja became a <i>kṛpā-siddha</i> because of the special mercy of both <i>guru</i> and Kṛṣṇa. Caitanya Mahāprabhu confirms this favor: <i>guru-kṛṣṇa-prasāde pāya bhakti-latā-bīja</i> (<i>Cc. Madhya</i> 19.151). Bali Mahārāja, by the grace of Prahlāda Mahārāja, got the seed of devotional service, and when that seed developed, he achieved the ultimate fruit of that service, namely love of Godhead (<i>premā pum-artho mahān</i>), immediately upon the appearance of Lord Vāmanadeva. Bali Mahārāja regularly maintained devotion for the Lord, and because he was purified, the Lord appeared before him. Because of unalloyed love for the Lord, he then immediately decided, \"I shall give this little dwarf <i>brāhmaṇa</i> whatever He asks from me.\" This is a sign of love. Thus Bali Mahārāja is understood to be one who received the highest perfection of devotional service by special mercy."

"Bali Mahārāja was prepared to give everything to Lord Viṣṇu, and Śukrācārya, being a professional priest, might have been anxiously waiting, doubting whether there had been any such instance in history in which one had given everything in charity. Bali Mahārāja, however, cited the tangible examples of Mahārāja Śibi and Mahārāja Dadhīci, who had given up their lives for the benefit of the general public. Certainly one has attachment for everything material, especially one's land, but land and other possessions are forcibly taken away at the time of death, as stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (<i>mṛtyuḥ sarva-haraś cāham</i>). The Lord personally appeared to Bali Mahārāja to take away everything he had, and thus he was so fortunate that he could see the Lord face to face. Nondevotees, however, cannot see the Lord face to face; to such persons the Lord appears as death and takes away all their possessions by force. Under the circumstances, why should we not part with our possessions and deliver them to Lord Viṣṇu for His satisfaction? Śrī Cāṇakya Paṇḍita says in this regard, <i>san-nimitte varaṁ tyāgo vināśe niyate sati</i> (<i>Cāṇakya-śloka</i> 36). Since our money and possessions do not last but will somehow or other be taken away, as long as they are in our possession it is better to use them for charity to a noble cause. Therefore Bali Mahārāja defied the order of his so-called spiritual master."

Vaiṣṇavas are never concerned with ritualistic <i>smārta-brāhmaṇas.</i> Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī has therefore compiled <i>Hari-bhakti-vilāsa</i> to guide the Vaiṣṇavas, who never follow the <i>smārta-viddhi.</i> Although the Supreme Lord is situated in the core of everyone's heart, unless one is a Vaiṣṇava, unless one is engaged in devotional service, one does not get sound advice by which to return home, back to Godhead. Such instructions are meant only for devotees. Therefore in this verse the word <i>daiva-prahitaḥ,</i> \"being inspired by the Supreme Lord,\" is important. Śukrācārya should have encouraged Bali Mahārāja to give everything to Lord Viṣṇu. This would have been a sign of love for the Supreme Lord. But he did not do so. On the contrary, he wanted to punish his devoted disciple by cursing him."

"Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura says that Bali Mahārāja was not <i>paṇḍita-mānī,</i> or one who falsely assumes himself learned; rather, he was <i>paṇḍita-mānya-jñaḥ,</i> one who is so learned that all other learned persons worship him. And because he was so learned, he could disobey the order of his so-called spiritual master. He had no fear of any condition of material existence. Anyone cared for by Lord Viṣṇu does not need to care about anyone else. Thus Bali Mahārāja could never be bereft of all opulences. The opulences offered by the Supreme Personality of Godhead are not to be compared to the opulences obtained by <i>karma-kāṇḍa.</i> In other words, if a devotee becomes very opulent, it is to be understood that his opulence is a gift of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such opulence will never be vanquished, whereas the opulence achieved by one's fruitive activity may be vanquished at any moment."

"Bali Mahārāja wanted to give charity to Vāmanadeva, but the Lord expanded His body in such a way that He showed Bali Mahārāja that everything in the universe is already in His body. Actually, no one can give anything to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, for He is full in everything. Sometimes we see a devotee offering Ganges water to the Ganges. After taking his bath in the Ganges, a devotee takes a palmful of water and offers it back to the Ganges. Actually, when one takes a palmful of water from the Ganges, the Ganges does not lose anything, and similarly if a devotee offers a palmful of water to the Ganges, the Ganges does not increase in any way. But by such an offering, the devotee becomes celebrated as a devotee of mother Ganges. Similarly, when we offer anything with devotion and faith, what we offer does not belong to us, nor does it enrich the opulence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. But if one offers whatever he has in his possession, he becomes a recognized devotee. In this regard, the example is given that when one's face is decorated with a garland and sandalwood pulp, the reflection of one's face in a mirror automatically becomes beautiful. The original source of everything is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is our original source also. Therefore when the Supreme Personality of Godhead is decorated, the devotees and all living entities are decorated automatically."

Māyāvādī philosophers think that since the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Absolute Truth, has become everything, He has no separate existence. Their philosophy is called <i>advaita-vāda.</i> Actually, however, their philosophy is not correct. Here, Bali Mahārāja was the seer of the Personality of Godhead's universal body, and that body was that which was seen. Thus there is <i>dvaita-vāda;</i> there are always two entities—the seer and the seen. The seer is a part of the whole, but he is not equal to the whole. The part of the whole, the seer, is also one with the whole, but since he is but a part, he cannot be the complete whole at any time. This <i>acintya-bhedābheda</i>—simultaneous oneness and difference—is the perfect philosophy propounded by Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu."

From His words came all the Vedic mantras, on His tongue was the demigod of water, Varuṇadeva, on His eyebrows were the regulative principles, and on His eyelids were day and night. [When His eyes were open it was daytime, and when they were closed it was night.] On His forehead was anger, and on His lips was greed. O King, in His touch were lusty desires, in His semen were all the waters, on His back was irreligion, and in His wonderful activities or steps was the fire of sacrifice. On His shadow was death, in His smile was the illusory energy, and on the hairs of His body were all the drugs and herbs. In His veins were all the rivers, on His nails were all the stones, in His intelligence were Lord Brahmā, the demigods and the great saintly persons, and throughout His entire body and senses were all living entities, moving and stationary. Bali Mahārāja thus saw everything in the gigantic body of the Lord.</b>",

"When the Lord's footstep exceeded the height of all the <i>lokas,</i> including Maharloka, Janaloka, Tapoloka and Satyaloka, His nails certainly pierced the covering of the universe. The universe is covered by the five material elements (<i>bhūmir āpo 'nalo vāyuḥ kham</i>). As stated in the <i>śāstra,</i> these elements are in layers, each ten times thicker than the previous one. Nonetheless, the nails of the Lord pierced through all these layers and made a hole penetrating into the spiritual world. From this hole, the water of the Ganges infiltrated into this material world, and therefore it is said, <i>pada-nakha-nīra-janita-jana-pāvana</i> [<i>Daśāvatāra-stotra </i>5]. Because the Lord kicked a hole in the covering of the universe, the water of the Ganges came into this material world to deliver all the fallen souls."
