He engaged his eyes in seeing the Deity of Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa's temples and Kṛṣṇa's places like Mathurā and Vṛndāvana, he engaged his sense of touch in touching the bodies of the Lord's devotees, he engaged his sense of smell in smelling the fragrance of tulasī offered to the Lord, and he engaged his tongue in tasting the Lord's prasāda. He engaged his legs in walking to the holy places and temples of the Lord, his head in bowing down before the Lord, and all his desires in serving the Lord, twenty-four hours a day. Indeed, Mahārāja Ambarīṣa never desired anything for his own sense gratification. He engaged all his senses in devotional service, in various engagements related to the Lord. This is the way to increase attachment for the Lord and be completely free from all material desires.</b>",

"In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (7.1) the Lord recommends, <i>mayy āsakta-manāḥ pārtha yogaṁ yuñjan mad-āśrayaḥ.</i> This indicates that one must execute devotional service under the guidance of a devotee or directly under the guidance of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It is not possible, however, to train oneself without guidance from the spiritual master. Therefore, according to the instructions of Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī, the first business of a devotee is to accept a bona fide spiritual master who can train him to engage his various senses in rendering transcendental service to the Lord. The Lord also says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (7.1), <i>asaṁśayaṁ samagraṁ māṁ yathā jñāsyasi tac chṛṇu.</i> In other words, if one wants to understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead in completeness, one must follow the prescriptions given by Kṛṣṇa by following in the footsteps of Mahārāja Ambarīṣa. It is said, <i>hṛṣīkeṇa hṛṣīkeśa-sevanaṁ bhaktir ucyate:</i> <i>bhakti</i> means to engage the senses in the service of the master of the senses, Kṛṣṇa, who is called Hṛṣīkeśa or Acyuta. These words are used in these verses. <i>Acyuta-sat-kathodaye, hṛṣīkeśa-padābhivandane.</i> The words Acyuta and Hṛṣīkeśa are also used in <i>Bhagavad-gītā.</i> <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> is <i>kṛṣṇa-kathā</i> spoken directly by Kṛṣṇa, and <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> is also <i>kṛṣṇa-kathā</i> because everything described in the <i>Bhāgavatam</i> is in relationship with Kṛṣṇa."

"People are very much anxious to live in peace and prosperity in this material world, and here in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> the peace formula is given personally by the Supreme Personality of Godhead: everyone should understand that Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the ultimate proprietor of all the planets and is therefore the enjoyer of all activities, political, social, cultural, religious, economic and so on. The Lord has given perfect advice in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> and Ambarīṣa Mahārāja, as the ideal executive head, ruled the entire world as a Vaiṣṇava, taking advice from Vaiṣṇava <i>brāhmaṇas.</i> The <i>śāstras</i> enjoin that even though a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> may be well versed in the occupational brahminical duties and may be very learned in Vedic knowledge, he cannot give advice as a <i>guru</i> until he is a Vaiṣṇava.",

"Therefore, as indicated here by the words <i>tan-niṣṭha-viprābhihitaḥ,</i> Mahārāja Ambarīṣa took advice from <i>brāhmaṇas</i> who were pure devotees of the Lord, for ordinary <i>brāhmaṇas</i> who are merely learned scholars or experts in performing ritualistic ceremonies are not competent to give advice. [<i>Padma Purāṇa</i>]",
|

"In modern times, there are legislative assemblies whose members are authorized to make laws for the welfare of the state, but according to this description of the kingdom of Mahārāja Ambarīṣa, the country or the world should be ruled by a chief executive whose advisors are all devotee <i>brāhmaṇas.</i> Such advisors or members of the legislative assembly should not be professional politicians, nor should they be selected by the ignorant public. Rather, they should be appointed by the king. When the king, the executive head of the state, is a devotee and he follows the instructions of devotee <i>brāhmaṇas</i> in ruling the country, everyone will be peaceful and prosperous. When the king and his advisors are perfect devotees, nothing can be wrong in the state. All the citizens should become devotees of the Lord, and then their good character will automatically follow.",

"\"One who has unflinching devotion for the Personality of Godhead has all the good qualities of the demigods. But one who is not a devotee of the Lord has only material qualifications that are of little value. This is because he is hovering on the mental plane and is certain to be attracted by the glaring material energy.\" (<i>Bhāg. </i>5.18.12) Citizens under the guidance of a Kṛṣṇa conscious king will become devotees, and then there will be no need to enact new laws every day to reform the way of life in the state. If the citizens are trained to become devotees, they will automatically become peaceful and honest, and if they are guided by a devoted king advised by devotees, the state will not be in the material world but in the spiritual world. All the states of the world should therefore follow the ideal of the rule or administration of Mahārāja Ambarīṣa, as described here."

"When one performs ritualistic sacrifices as prescribed in the <i>Vedas,</i> one needs expert <i>brāhmaṇas</i> known as <i>yājñika-brāhmaṇas.</i> In Kali-yuga, however, there is a scarcity of such <i>brāhmaṇas.</i> Therefore in Kali-yuga the sacrifice recommended in <i>śāstra</i> is <i>saṅkīrtana-yajña</i> (<i>yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair yajanti hi sumedhasaḥ</i>). Instead of spending money unnecessarily on performing <i>yajñas</i> impossible to perform in this age of Kali because of the scarcity of <i>yājñika-brāhmaṇas,</i> one who is intelligent performs <i>saṅkīrtana-yajña.</i> Without properly performed <i>yajñas</i> to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead, there will be scarcity of rain (<i>yajñād bhavati parjanyaḥ</i>). Therefore the performance of <i>yajña</i> is essential. Without <i>yajña</i> there will be a scarcity of rain, and because of this scarcity, no food grains will be produced, and there will be famines. It is the duty of the king, therefore, to perform different types of <i>yajñas,</i> such as the <i>aśvamedha-yajña,</i> to maintain the production of food grains. <i>Annād bhavanti bhūtāni.</i> Without food grains, both men and animals will starve. Therefore <i>yajña</i> is necessary for the state to perform because by <i>yajña</i> the people in general will be fed sumptuously. The <i>brāhmaṇas</i> and <i>yājñika</i> priests should be sufficiently paid for their expert service. This payment is called <i>dakṣiṇā.</i> Ambarīṣa Mahārāja, as the head of the state, performed all these <i>yajñas</i> through great personalities like Vasiṣṭha, Gautama and Asita. Personally, however, he was engaged in devotional service, as mentioned before (<i>sa vai manaḥ kṛṣṇa-padāravindayoḥ</i>). The king or head of state must see that things go on well under proper guidance, and he must be an ideal devotee, as exemplified by Mahārāja Ambarīṣa. It is the duty of the king to see that food grains are produced even in desert countries, what to speak of elsewhere."

As stated by Śrīla Prabodhānanda Sarasvatī:",

"When a devotee has achieved the position of rendering transcendental loving service to the Lord through the mercy of Lord Caitanya, he thinks the impersonal Brahman to be no better than hell, and he regards material happiness in the heavenly planets to be like a will-o'-the-wisp. As far as the perfection of mystic powers is concerned, a devotee compares it to a venomous snake with no teeth. A mystic <i>yogī</i> is especially concerned with controlling the senses, but because the senses of a devotee are engaged in the service of the Lord (<i>hṛṣīkeṇa hṛṣīkeśa-sevanaṁ bhaktir ucyate</i>) there is no need for separate control of the senses. For those who are materially engaged, control of the senses is required, but a devotee's senses are all engaged in the service of the Lord, which means that they are already controlled. <i>Paraṁ dṛṣṭvā nivartate</i> (<i>Bg.</i> 2.59). A devotee's senses are not attracted by material enjoyment. And even though the material world is full of misery, the devotee considers this material world to be also spiritual because everything is engaged in the service of the Lord. The difference between the spiritual world and material world is the mentality of service. <i>Nirbandhaḥ kṛṣṇa-sambandhe yuktaṁ vairāgyam ucyate.</i> When there is no mentality of service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one's activities are material.",

|

"That which is not engaged in the service of the Lord is material, and nothing thus engaged should be given up. In the construction of a high skyscraper and the construction of a temple, there may be the same enthusiasm, but the endeavors are different, for one is material and the other spiritual. Spiritual activities should not be confused with material activities and given up. Nothing connected with Hari, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is material. A devotee who considers all this is always situated in spiritual activities, and therefore he is no longer attracted by material activities (<i>paraṁ dṛṣṭvā nivartate</i>)."

In this way, one must constantly be engaged in various activities, and the hard labor involved is certainly an austerity.

The Lord also promises, <i>kaunteya pratijānīhi na me bhaktaḥ praṇaśyati:</i> \"O Arjuna, you may declare to the world that the devotees of the Lord are never vanquished.\" (Bg. 9.31) For the protection of the devotees, Kṛṣṇa's disc, the Sudarśana <i>cakra,</i> is always ready. This disc is extremely fearful to the nondevotees (<i>pratyanīka-bhayāvaham</i>). Therefore although Mahārāja Ambarīṣa was fully engaged in devotional service, his kingdom was free of all fear of adversity."

Exactly at that time, however, Durvāsā Muni, the great and powerful mystic, appeared on the scene as an uninvited guest.</b>",

"When Mahārāja Ambarīṣa, in his dilemma, consulted the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> about whether he should break the fast or wait for Durvāsā Muni, apparently they could not give a definite answer about what to do. A Vaiṣṇava, however, is the most intelligent personality. Therefore Mahārāja Ambarīṣa himself decided, in the presence of the <i>brāhmaṇas,</i> that he would drink a little water, for this would confirm that the fast was broken but would not transgress the laws for receiving a <i>brāhmaṇa.</i> In the <i>Vedas</i> it is said, <i>apo 'śnāti tan naivāśitaṁ naivānaśitam.</i> This Vedic injunction declares that the drinking of water may be accepted as eating or as not eating. Sometimes in our practical experience we see that some political leader adhering to <i>satyāgraha</i> will not eat but will drink water. Considering that drinking water would not be eating, Mahārāja Ambarīṣa decided to act in this way."

"Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura has diverted the entire meaning of this verse as spoken by Durvāsā Muni. Durvāsā Muni used the word <i>nṛ-śaṁsasya</i> to indicate that the King was cruel, but Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura interprets it to mean that the King's character was glorified by all the local people. He says that the word <i>nṛ</i> means \"by all the local people\" and that <i>śaṁsasya</i> means \"of he (Ambarīṣa) whose character was glorified.\" Similarly, one who is very rich becomes mad because of his wealth and is therefore called <i>śriyā-unmattasya,</i> but Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura interprets these words to mean that although Mahārāja Ambarīṣa was such an opulent king, he was not mad after money, for he had already surpassed the madness of material opulence. Similarly, the word <i>īśa-māninaḥ</i> is interpreted to mean that he was so respectful to the Supreme Personality of Godhead that he did not transgress the laws for observing Ekādaśī-pāraṇa, despite the thinking of Durvāsā Muni, for he only took water. In this way, Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura has supported Ambarīṣa Mahārāja and all his activities."

"As a pure devotee, Mahārāja Ambarīṣa, although in such danger, did not move an inch from his position, nor did he request the Supreme Personality of Godhead to give him protection. He was fixed in understanding, and it was certain that he was simply thinking of the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the core of his heart. A devotee is never fearful of his death, for he meditates on the Supreme Personality of Godhead always, not for any material profit, but as his duty. The Lord, however, knows how to protect His devotee. As indicated by the words <i>prāg diṣṭam,</i> the Lord knew everything. Therefore, before anything happened, He had already arranged for His <i>cakra</i> to protect Mahārāja Ambarīṣa. This protection is offered to a devotee even from the very beginning of his devotional service. <i>Kaunteya pratijānīhi na me bhaktaḥ praṇaśyati</i> (<i>Bg.</i> 9.31). If one simply begins devotional service, he is immediately protected by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is also confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (18.66): <i>ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣayiṣyāmi.</i> Protection begins immediately. The Lord is so kind and merciful that He gives the devotee proper guidance and all protection, and thus the devotee very peacefully makes solid progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness without outward disturbances. A serpent may be very angry and ready to bite, but the furious snake is helpless when faced by a blazing fire in the forest. Although an enemy of a devotee may be very strong, he is compared to an angry serpent before the fire of devotional service."

"All the great stalwart personalities in the universe, including Lord Brahmā and Lord Śiva, are fully under the control of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but the Supreme Personality of Godhead is fully under the control of His devotee. Why is this? Because the devotee is <i>anyābhilāṣitā-śūnya;</i> in other words, he has no material desires in his heart. His only desire is to think always of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and how to serve Him best. Because of this transcendental qualification, the Supreme Lord is extremely favorable to the devotees—indeed, not only the devotees, but also the devotees of the devotees. Śrīla Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura says, <i>chāḍiyā vaiṣṇava-sevā nistāra pāyeche kebā:</i> without being a devotee of a devotee, one cannot be released from material entanglement. Therefore Caitanya Mahāprabhu identified Himself as <i>gopī-bhartuḥ pada-kamalayor dāsa-dāsānudāsaḥ.</i> Thus he instructed us to become not directly servants of Kṛṣṇa but servants of the servant of Kṛṣṇa. Devotees like Brahmā, Nārada, Vyāsadeva and Śukadeva Gosvāmī are directly servants of Kṛṣṇa, and one who becomes a servant of Nārada, Vyāsadeva and Śukadeva, like the six Gosvāmīs, is still more devoted. Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura therefore says, <i>yasya prasādād bhagavat-prasādaḥ: </i>if one very sincerely serves the spiritual master, Kṛṣṇa certainly becomes favorable to such a devotee. Following the instructions of a devotee is more valuable than following the instructions of the Supreme Personality of Godhead directly."

"The Supreme Personality of Godhead is self-sufficient, but to enjoy His transcendental bliss He requires the cooperation of His devotees. In Vṛndāvana, for example, although Lord Kṛṣṇa is full in Himself, He wants the cooperation of His devotees like the cowherd boys and the <i>gopīs</i> to increase His transcendental bliss. Such pure devotees, who can increase the pleasure potency of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, are certainly most dear to Him. Not only does the Supreme Personality of Godhead enjoy the company of His devotees, but because He is unlimited He wants to increase His devotees unlimitedly. Thus, He descends to the material world to induce the nondevotees and rebellious living entities to return home, back to Godhead. He requests them to surrender unto Him because, unlimited as He is, He wants to increase His devotees unlimitedly. The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is an attempt to increase the number of pure devotees of the Supreme Lord more and more. It is certain that a devotee who helps in this endeavor to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead becomes indirectly a controller of the Supreme Lord. Although the Supreme Lord is full in six opulences, He does not feel transcendental bliss without His devotees. An example that may be cited in this regard is that if a very rich man does not have sons in a family he does not feel happiness. Indeed, sometimes a rich man adopts a son to complete his happiness. The science of transcendental bliss is known to the pure devotee. Therefore the pure devotee is always engaged in increasing the transcendental happiness of the Lord."

"The Supreme Personality of Godhead is worshiped by the words <i>brahmaṇya-devāya go-brāhmaṇa-hitāya ca.</i> Thus He is the well-wisher of the <i>brāhmaṇas.</i> Durvāsā Muni was certainly a very great <i>brāhmaṇa,</i> but because he was a nondevotee, he could not sacrifice everything in devotional service. Great mystic <i>yogīs</i> are actually self-interested. The proof is that when Durvāsā Muni created a demon to kill Mahārāja Ambarīṣa, the King stayed fixed in his place, praying to the Supreme Personality of Godhead and depending solely and wholly on Him, whereas when Durvāsā Muni was chased by the Sudarśana <i>cakra</i> by the supreme will of the Lord, he was so perturbed that he fled all over the world and tried to take shelter in every nook and corner of the universe. At last, in fear of his life, he approached Lord Brahmā, Lord Śiva and ultimately the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He was so interested in his own body that he wanted to kill the body of a Vaiṣṇava. Therefore, he did not have very good intelligence, and how can an unintelligent person be delivered by the Supreme Personality of Godhead? The Lord certainly tries to give all protection to His devotees who have given up everything for the sake of serving Him.",
|
||||
"Another point in this verse is that attachment to <i>dārāgāra-putrāpta</i>—home, wife, children, friendship, society and love—is not the way to achieve the favor of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. One who is attached to hearth and home for material pleasure cannot become a pure devotee. Sometimes a pure devotee may have a habit or attraction for wife, children and home but at the same time want to serve the Supreme Lord to the best of his ability. For such a devotee, the Lord makes a special arrangement to take away the objects of his false attachment and thus free him from attachment to wife, home, children, friends and so on. This is special mercy bestowed upon the devotee to bring him back home, back to Godhead."

"In this verse, the word <i>sama-darśanāḥ</i> is significant. The pure devotee is actually equal toward everyone, as confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (18.54): <i>brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā na śocati na kāṅkṣati/ samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu.</i> Universal brotherhood is possible when one is a pure devotee (<i>paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ</i>). A pure devotee is actually learned because he knows his constitutional position, he knows the position of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and he knows the relationship between the living entity and the Supreme Lord. Thus he has full spiritual knowledge and is automatically liberated (<i>brahma-bhūtaḥ</i>). He can therefore see everyone on the spiritual platform. He can comprehend the happiness and distress of all living entities. He understands that what is happiness to him is also happiness to others and that what is distress to him is distressing for others. Therefore he is sympathetic to everyone. As Prahlāda Mahārāja said:",
|

"People suffer from material distress because they are not attached to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. A pure devotee's chief concern, therefore, is to raise the ignorant mass of people to the sense of Kṛṣṇa consciousness."

"Since Durvāsā Muni wanted to chastise Mahārāja Ambarīṣa, it is to be understood that he wanted to give pain to the heart of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, for the Lord says, <i>sādhavo hṛdayaṁ mahyam:</i> \"The pure devotee is always within the core of My heart.\" The Lord's feelings are like those of a father, who feels pain when his child is in pain. Therefore, offenses at the lotus feet of a devotee are serious. Caitanya Mahāprabhu has very strongly recommended that one not commit any offense at the lotus feet of a devotee. Such offenses are compared to a mad elephant because when a mad elephant enters a garden it causes devastation. Therefore one should be extremely careful not to commit offenses at the lotus feet of a pure devotee. Actually Mahārāja Ambarīṣa was not at all at fault; Durvāsā Muni unnecessarily wanted to chastise him on flimsy grounds. Mahārāja Ambarīṣa wanted to complete the Ekādaśī-pāraṇa as part of devotional service to please the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and therefore he drank a little water. But although Durvāsā Muni was a great mystic <i>brāhmaṇa,</i> he did not know what is what. That is the difference between a pure devotee and a so-called learned scholar of Vedic knowledge. The devotees, being always situated in the core of the Lord's heart, surely get all instructions directly from the Lord, as confirmed by the Lord Himself in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (10.11):",
|
||||
"<i>teṣām evānukampārtham<br/> aham ajñānajaṁ tamaḥ<br/> nāśayāmy ātma-bhāvastho<br/> jñāna-dīpena bhāsvatā</i>",
|
||||
"\"Out of compassion for them, I, dwelling in their hearts, destroy with the shining lamp of knowledge the darkness born of ignorance.\" The devotee does not do anything not sanctioned by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As it is said, <i>vaiṣṇavera kriyā mudrā vijñeha nā bujhaya.</i> Even the most learned or experienced person cannot understand the movements of a Vaiṣṇava, a pure devotee. No one, therefore, should criticize a pure Vaiṣṇava. A Vaiṣṇava knows his own business; whatever he does is precisely right because he is always guided by the Supreme Personality of Godhead."

"A Vaiṣṇava is always an object of envy for nondevotees, even when the nondevotee happens to be his father. To give a practical example, Hiraṇyakaśipu was envious of Prahlāda Mahārāja, but this envy of the devotee was harmful to Hiraṇyakaśipu, not to Prahlāda. Every action taken by Hiraṇyakaśipu against his son Prahlāda Mahārāja was taken very seriously by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and thus when Hiraṇyakaśipu was on the verge of killing Prahlāda, the Lord personally appeared and killed Hiraṇyakaśipu. Service to a Vaiṣṇava gradually accumulates and becomes an asset for the devotee. Similarly, harmful activities directed against the devotee gradually become the ultimate cause of the performer's falldown. Even such a great <i>brāhmaṇa</i> and mystic <i>yogī</i> as Durvāsā was in a most dangerous situation because of his offense at the lotus feet of Mahārāja Ambarīṣa, a pure devotee."

"It is said that a jewel is very valuable, but when it is on the hood of a serpent, it is dangerous despite its value. Similarly, when a materialistic nondevotee achieves great success in learning and austerity, that success is dangerous for all of society. So-called learned scientists, for example, invented atomic weapons that are dangerous for all humanity. It is therefore said, <i>maṇinā bhūṣitaḥ sarpaḥ kim asau na bhayaṅkaraḥ.</i> A serpent with a jewel on its hood is as dangerous as a serpent without such a jewel. Durvāsā Muni was a very learned <i>brāhmaṇa</i> equipped with mystic power, but because he was not a gentleman, he did not know how to use his power. He was therefore extremely dangerous. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is never inclined toward a dangerous person who uses his mystic power for some personal design. By the laws of nature, therefore, such misuse of power is ultimately dangerous not for society but for the person who misuses it."
