"Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura comments that <i>mukhya-vṛtti</i> (\"the direct meaning\") is <i>abhidhā-vṛtti,</i> or the meaning which one can understand immediately from the statements of dictionaries, whereas <i>gauṇa-vṛtti</i> (\"the indirect meaning\") is a meaning that one imagines without consulting the dictionary. For example, one politician has said that Kurukṣetra refers to the body, but in the dictionary there is no such definition. Therefore this imaginary meaning is <i>gauṇa-vṛtti,</i> whereas the direct meaning found in the dictionary is <i>mukhya-vṛtti</i> or <i>abhidhā-vṛtti.</i> This is the distinction between the two. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu recommends that one understand the Vedic literature in terms of <i>abhidhā-vṛtti,</i> and the <i>gauṇa-vṛtti</i> He rejects. Sometimes, however, as a matter of necessity, Vedic literature is described in terms of the <i>lakṣaṇā-vṛtti</i> or <i>gauṇa-vṛtti,</i> but one should not accept such explanations as permanent truths.",
"The purpose of the discussions in the <i>Upaniṣads</i> and <i>Vedānta-sūtra</i> is to philosophically establish the personal feature of the Absolute Truth. The impersonalists, however, in order to establish their philosophy, accept these discussions in terms of <i>lakṣaṇā-vṛtti,</i> or indirect meanings. Thus instead of being <i>tattva-vāda,</i> or in search of the Absolute Truth, they become Māyāvāda, or illusioned by the material energy. When Śrī Viṣṇusvāmī, one of the four <i>ācaryas</i> of the Vaiṣṇava cult, presented his thesis on the subject matter of <i>śuddhādvaita-vāda,</i> immediately the Māyāvādīs took advantage of this philosophy and tried to establish their <i>advaita-vāda</i> or <i>kevalādvaita-vāda.</i> To defeat this <i>kevalādvaita-vāda,</i> Śrī Rāmānujācārya presented his philosophy as <i>viśiṣṭādvaita-vāda,</i> and Śrī Madhvācārya presented his philosophy of <i>tattva-vāda,</i> both of which are stumbling blocks to the Māyāvādīs because they defeat their philosophy in scrupulous detail. Students of Vedic philosophy know very well how strongly Śrī Rāmānujācārya's <i>viśiṣṭādvaita-vāda</i> and Śrī Madhvācārya's <i>tattva-vāda</i> contest the impersonal Māyāvāda philosophy. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, however, accepted the direct meaning of the Vedānta philosophy and thus defeated the Māyāvāda philosophy immediately. He opined in this connection that anyone who follows the principles of the <i>Śārīraka-bhāṣya</i> is doomed. This is confirmed in the <i>Padma Purāṇa</i> where Lord Śiva tells Pārvatī:",

"\"My dear wife, hear my explanations of how I have spread ignorance through Māyāvāda philosophy. Simply by hearing it, even an advanced scholar will fall down. In this philosophy, which is certainly very inauspicious for people in general, I have misrepresented the real meaning of the <i>Vedas</i> and recommended that one give up all activities in order to achieve freedom from <i>karma.</i> In this Māyāvāda philosophy I have described the <i>jīvātmā</i> and Paramātmā to be one and the same.\" How the Māyāvāda philosophy was condemned by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His followers is described in <i>Śrī-Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Antya-līlā,</i> Second Chapter, verses 94 through 99, where Svarūpa-dāmodara Gosvāmī says that anyone who is eager to understand the Māyāvāda philosophy must be considered insane. This especially applies to a Vaiṣṇava who reads the <i>Śārīraka-bhāṣya</i> and considers himself to be one with God. The Māyāvādī philosophers have presented their arguments in such attractive flowery language that hearing Māyāvāda philosophy may sometimes change the mind of even a <i>mahā-bhāgavata,</i> or very advanced devotee. An actual Vaiṣṇava cannot tolerate any philosophy that claims God and the living being to be one and the same."

"Māyāvādī philosophers do not know how it is that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is formless. The Supreme Lord does not have a form like ours but has a spiritual form. Not knowing this, Māyāvādī philosophers simply advocate the onesided view that the Supreme Godhead, or Brahman, is formless (<i>nirākāra</i>). In this connection Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura offers many quotes from the Vedic literature.

In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> the Lord says, <i>ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate:</i> \"I am the origin of all. Everything emanates from Me.\" (Bg. 10.8) Māyāvādī philosophers materialistically think that if the Supreme Truth expands Himself in everything, He must lose His original form. Thus they think that there cannot be any form other than the expansive gigantic body of the Lord. But the <i>mantra </i>of the <i>Bṛhad-āraṇyaka Upaniṣad</i> confirms, <i>pūrṇam idaṁ pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate:</i> \"Although He expands in many ways, He keeps His original personality.

Although there are many foolish Māyāvādī philosophers who think that they are even greater than Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa is <i>asamaurdhva;</i> no one is equal to or above Him.",
"As stated in the <i>Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad</i> (3.19), <i>apāṇi-pādo javano grahītā.</i> This verse describes the Absolute Truth as having no legs or hands. Although this is an impersonal description, however, it does not mean that the Absolute Personality of Godhead has no form. He has a spiritual form which is distinct from the forms of matter. In this verse Caitanya Mahāprabhu clarifies this distinction."

"Unfortunately, people in general do not know what is to take place in the next life. To prepare oneself for his next life is common sense, and it is a principle of the Vedic civilization, but presently people throughout the world do not believe in a next life. Even influential professors and other educators say that as soon as the body is finished, everything is finished. This atheistic philosophy is killing human civilization. People are irresponsibly performing all sorts of sinful activities, and thus the privilege of the human life is being taken away by the educational propaganda of the so-called leaders. Actually it is a fact that this life is meant for preparation for the next life; by evolution one has come through many species or forms, and this human form of life is an opportunity to promote oneself to a better life.

"\"Those who worship the demigods will take birth among the demigods;those who worship ghosts and spirits will take birth among such beings; those who worship ancestors go to the ancestors; and those who worship Me will live with Me.\" (Bg. 9.25) Therefore, one may promote himself to the higher planetary systems which are the residence of the demigods, one can promote himself to the Pitṛloka, one can remain on earth, or one can also go back home, back to Godhead. This is further confirmed by <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.9): <i>tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti so 'rjuna.</i> After giving up the body, one who knows Kṛṣṇa in truth does not come back again to this world to accept a material body, but he goes back home, back to Godhead. This knowledge is in the <i>śāstras,</i> and people should be given the opportunity to understand it. Even if one is not able to go back to Godhead in one life, the Vedic civilization at least gives one the opportunity to be promoted to the higher planetary systems where the demigods live and not glide down again to animal life. At present, people do not understand this knowledge, although it constitutes a great science, for they are uneducated and trained not to accept it. This is the horrible condition of modern human society. As such, the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is the only hope to direct the attention of intelligent men to a greater benefit in life."

"It is a completely mistaken idea that one can worship Kṛṣṇa in any form or in any way and still attain the ultimate result by receiving the favor of the Lord. This is a decision made by gross materialistic men. Generally such men say that you can manufacture your own way of worshiping the Supreme Lord and that any type of worship is sufficient to approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Certainly there are different means for attaining different results in fruitive activity, speculative knowledge, mystic <i>yoga,</i> and austerity. Crude men therefore say that if one adopts any of these methods, one achieves the Supreme Personality of Godhead's favor. They claim that it doesn't matter what kind of method one adopts. A general example is given. If one wishes to arrive at a certain place, there are many roads leading there, and one can go to that place by any one of these roads. Similarly, these gross materialists say that there are different ways to attain the favor of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. They claim that one can conceive of the Supreme Personality of Godhead as goddess Durgā, goddess Kālī, Lord Śiva, demigod Gaṇeśa, Lord Rāmacandra, Kṛṣṇa, impersonal Brahman or whatever, and one can chant the Lord's name in any way and in any form and ultimately become one. Such materialists claim that the result is the same. They also say that a man may have different names, but he will answer if called by any one of them. Therefore they claim that there is no need to chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mantra</i>. If one chants the name of Kālī, Durgā, Śiva, Gaṇeśa or anyone else, the result will be the same. Such claims made by mental speculators are no doubt very pleasing to mental speculators, but those who are actually in knowledge do not admit such conclusions, which are against the authority of the <i>śāstras.</i> A bona fide <i>ācārya</i> will certainly not accept such a conclusion.

"All living entities within the material creation, beginning from the first demigod Brahmā down to the small ant in different statuses of life, are conditioned under the law of material nature or the external energy of the Supreme Lord. The living entity in his pure state is conscious of the fact that he is a part and parcel of the Lord, but when he is thrown into the material world on account of his desire to lord it over material energy, he becomes conditioned by the three modes of material nature and thus struggles for existence for the highest benefit. This struggle for existence is something like following the will-o'-the-wisp under the spell of material enjoyment. All plans of material enjoyment, either by worship of different demigods as described in the previous verses of this chapter or by modernized advancement of scientific knowledge without the help of God or demigod, are illusory only because, despite all such plans for happiness, the conditioned living being within the compass of material creation can never solve the problems of life, namely birth, death, old age and disease. The history of the universe is full of such planmakers, and many kings and emperors come and go, leaving a planmaking story only. But the prime problems of life remained unsolved despite all endeavors by such plan-makers.",
"Actually human life is meant for making a solution to the problems of life. Such problems can never be solved by satisfying the different demigods, by different modes of worship, or by so-called scientific advancement of knowledge without the help of God or the demigods. Apart from the gross materialists, who care very little either for God or for the demigods, the <i>Vedas</i> recommend worship of different demigods for different benefits, so they are neither false nor imaginary. The demigods are as factual as we are, but they are much more powerful due to their being engaged in the direct service of the Lord by managing different departments in the universal government. The <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> affirms this, and the different planets of the demigods are mentioned there, including the one of the supreme demigod Lord Brahmā. The gross materialists believe neither in the existence of God nor the demigods. Nor do they believe that different planets are dominated by different demigods. They are creating a great commotion about reaching the closest celestial body, the Candraloka or the moon, but even after much mechanical research, they have only very scanty information of this moon, and in spite of much false advertisement for selling land on the moon, the puffed up scientists or gross materialists cannot live there, and what to speak of reaching other innumerable planets which they are unable even to count. However, the followers of the <i>Vedas</i> have a different method of acquiring knowledge. They accept the statements of the Vedic literatures as authority <i>in toto,</i> as we have already discussed in Canto One, and therefore they have full and reasonable knowledge of God and demigods and of their different residential planets situated within the compass of the material world and beyond the limit of the material sky. The most authentic Vedic literature accepted by the great Indian <i>ācāryas</i> like Śaṅkara, Rāmānuja, Madhva, Viṣṇusvāmī, Nimbārka, Caitanya, etc., and studied by all important personalities of the world, is the <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> in which the worship of the demigods and their respective residential planets are mentioned. The <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> affirms:",
"<i>yānti deva-vratā devān pitèn yānti pitṛ-vratāḥ<br/> bhūtāni yānti bhūtejyā yānti mad-yājino 'pi mām</i>",
"<i>yānti deva-vratā devān pitṝn yānti pitṛ-vratāḥ<br/> bhūtāni yānti bhūtejyā yānti mad-yājino 'pi mām</i>",
"\"The worshipers of demigods reach the respective planets of the demigods, and the worshipers of forefathers reach the planets of the forefathers. The gross materialist remains in the different material planets, but the devotees of the Lord reach the kingdom of God.\" (Bg. 9.25)",
"We also have information from the <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> that all the planets within the material world, including the Brahmaloka, are but temporarily situated, and after a fixed period they are all annihilated. Therefore the demigods and their followers are all annihilated at the period of devastation, but one who reaches the kingdom of God gets a permanent share in eternal life. That is the verdict of Vedic literature. The worshipers of the demigods have one facility more than the unbelievers due to their conviction of the Vedic version, by which they can get information of the benefit of worshiping the Supreme Lord in the association of the devotees of the Lord. The gross materialist, however, without any faith in the Vedic version, remains eternally in darkness, driven by a false conviction on the basis of imperfect experimental knowledge, or the so-called material science, which can never reach into the realm of transcendental knowledge.",
"Therefore unless they come in contact with a transcendentalist like the pure devotee of the Lord, the attempts of the gross materialists or the worshipers of the temporary demigods are simply a waste of energy. Only by the grace of the divine personalities, the pure devotees of the Lord, can one achieve pure devotion, which is the highest perfection of human life. Only a pure devotee of the Lord can show one the right way of progressive life. Otherwise both the materialistic way of life, without any information of God or the demigods, and the life engaged in the worship of demigods in pursuit of temporary material enjoyments, are all different phases of phantasmagoria. They are nicely explained in the <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> also, but the <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> can be understood in the association of pure devotees only, and not by the interpretations of politicians or dry philosophical speculators."

"Mahārāja Parīkṣit's statement regarding the working of the creative energy of the Lord discloses that he knew everything of the process of creation. Why then did he ask Śukadeva Gosvāmī for such information? Mahārāja Parīkṣit, being a great emperor, a descendant of the Pāṇḍavas and a great devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa, was quite able to know considerably about the creation of the world, but that much knowledge was not sufficient. He said therefore that even greatly learned scholars fail to know about that, even after great effort. The Lord is unlimited, and His activities are also unfathomed. Any living being, up to the standard of Brahmājī, the highest perfect living being within the universe, with a limited source of knowledge and with imperfect senses can never imagine knowing about the unlimited. We can know something of the unlimited when it is explained by the unlimited, as it has been done by the Lord Himself in the unique statements of the <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> and it can also be known to some extent from realized souls like Śukadeva Gosvāmī, who learned it from Vyāsadeva, a disciple of Nārada, and thus the perfect knowledge can descend by the chain of disciplic succession only, and not by any form of experimental knowledge, old or modern."

"translation": "<b>The three deities told Atri Muni: Dear brāhmaṇa, you are perfect in your determination, so as you have decided, so it will happen; it will not happen otherwise. We are all the same person upon whom you were meditating, and therefore we have all come to you.</b>",
"purport": [
"Atri Muni unspecifically thought of the Personality of Godhead, the Lord of the universe, although he had no clear idea of the Lord of the universe nor of His specific form. Mahā-Viṣṇu, from whose breathing millions of universes emanate and into whom they are again withdrawn, may be accepted as the Lord of the universe. Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, from whose abdomen sprouted the lotus flower which is the birthplace of Brahmā, can also be considered the Lord of the universe. Similarly, Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, who is the Supersoul of all living entities, can also be considered the Lord of the universe. Then, under the order of Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, the Viṣṇu form within this universe, Lord Brahmā and Lord Śiva can also be accepted as the lords of the universe. Viṣṇu is the Lord of the universe because He is its maintainer.",
"Similarly, Brahmā creates the different planetary systems and the population, so he also can be considered the Lord of the universe. Or Lord Śiva, who is ultimately the destroyer of the universe, also can be considered its Lord. Therefore, since Atri Muni did not specifically mention whom he wanted, all three—Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Lord Śiva—came before him. They said, \"Since you were thinking of having a son exactly like the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Lord of the universe, your determination will be fulfilled.\" In other words, one's determination is fulfilled according to the strength of one's devotion. As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i>: <i>yānti deva-vratā devān pitèn yānti pitṛ-vratāḥ.</i> If one is attached to a particular demigod, one is promoted to the abode of that demigod; if one is attached to the <i>pitṛs</i> or forefathers he is promoted to their planet; and similarly if one is attached to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, he is promoted to the abode of Lord Kṛṣṇa. Atri Muni actually had no clear conception of the Lord of the universe; therefore the three presiding deities who are actually the lords of the universe in the three departments of the modes of nature all came before him. Now, according to the strength of his determination for a son, his desire would be fulfilled by the grace of the Lord."

Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has sung a verse indicating that the tongue is the most vicious enemy and is the most voracious of all the senses. If one can control the tongue, he can easily control the other senses. The tongue can be controlled only by eating <i>prasāda</i> offered to the Deity. Lord Śiva's prayer to Lord Aniruddha is meant for this purpose (<i>tṛpti-dāya</i>); he prays to Lord Aniruddha to help him be satisfied by eating only <i>prasāda</i> offered to the Lord."

"purport": [
"In the previous verse, those who are in knowledge have been described as unable to appreciate the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Similarly, this verse indicates that those who are followers of the Vedic rituals, as well as those who are followers of fruitive activities, are unable to see the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In these two verses both the <i>karmīs</i> and <i>jñānīs</i> are described as unfit to understand Him. As described by Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī, only when one is completely free from mental speculation and fruitive activity (<i>anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyaṁ jñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam</i>) can one engage in pure devotional service without being polluted by material desires. The significant word <i>ātma-bhāvitaḥ</i> indicates that the Lord is awakened in one's mind if one constantly thinks of Him. A pure devotee is always thinking of the lotus feet of the Lord (<i>sa vai manaḥ kṛṣṇa-padāravindayoḥ</i>). A pure devotee cannot remain a moment without being absorbed in thoughts of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This constant thinking of the Lord is described in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> as <i>satata-yuktānām,</i> always engaging in the Lord's service. <i>Bhajatāṁ prīti-pūrvakam:</i> this is devotional service in love and affection. Because the Supreme Personality of Godhead dictates to the pure devotee from within, the devotee is saved from all material activities. Even the Vedic ritualistic ceremonies are considered material activities because by such activities one is simply elevated to other planetary systems, the residential abodes of the demigods. Lord Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i>:",
"<i>yānti deva-vratā devān<br/> pitèn yānti pitṛ-vratāḥ<br/> bhūtāni yānti bhūtejyā<br/> yānti mad-yājino 'pi mām</i>",
"<i>yānti deva-vratā devān<br/> pitṝn yānti pitṛ-vratāḥ<br/> bhūtāni yānti bhūtejyā<br/> yānti mad-yājino 'pi mām</i>",
"\"Those who worship the demigods will take birth among the demigods; those who worship ghosts and spirits will take birth among such beings; those who worship ancestors go to the ancestors; and those who worship Me will live with Me.\" (Bg. 9.25)",
"The word <i>ātma-bhāvitaḥ</i> also indicates that a devotee is always engaged in preaching to deliver conditioned souls. It is said of the six Gosvāmīs: <i>nānā-śāstra-vicāraṇaika-nipuṇau sad-dharma-saṁsthāpakau lokānāṁ hita-kāriṇau.</i> A pure devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is always thinking of how fallen, conditioned souls can be delivered. The Supreme Personality of Godhead, influenced by the merciful devotees' attempt to deliver fallen souls, enlightens the people in general from within by His causeless mercy. If a devotee is blessed by another devotee, he becomes free from <i>karma-kāṇḍa</i> and <i>jñāna-kāṇḍa</i> activities. As confirmed in <i>Brahma-saṁhitā, vedeṣu durlabham:</i> the Supreme Personality of Godhead cannot be realized through <i>karma-kāṇḍa</i> and <i>jñāna-kāṇḍa.</i> <i>Adurlabham ātma-bhaktau:</i> the Lord is realized only by a sincere devotee.",
"This material world, the cosmic manifestation, is created by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and the living entities have come here to enjoy themselves. The Vedic instructions guide them according to different regulative principles, and intelligent people take advantage of these instructions. They thus enjoy material life without being disturbed. This is actually illusion, and to get out of this illusion by one's own endeavor is very difficult. The general populace is engaged in material activities, and when people are a little advanced, they become attracted by the ritualistic ceremonies mentioned in the <i>Vedas.</i> However, when one is frustrated in the performance of these ritualistic ceremonies, he again comes to material activities. In this way both the followers of the Vedic rituals and the followers of material activities are entangled in conditional life. These people get the seed of devotional service only by the good will of the <i>guru</i> and Kṛṣṇa. This is confirmed in <i>Caitanya-caritāmṛta: guru-kṛṣṇa-prasāde pāya bhakti-latā-bīja.</i>",

This ceremony molds the mentality of the father in such a way that when he plants his seed in the womb of his wife, he will beget a child whose mind will be completely saturated with a devotional attitude. At the present moment, however, there are no such <i>garbhādhāna-saṁskāras,</i> and therefore people generally have a lusty attitude when they beget children. Especially in this age of Kali, there are no <i>garbhādhāna</i> ceremonies; everyone enjoys sex with his wife like a cat or dog. Therefore according to śāstric injunctions, almost all the people of this age belong to the <i>śūdra</i> category.

To have a good son, Mahārāja Āgnīdhra wanted a wife from a family of demigods. Therefore he went to Mandara Hill, where the women of the demigods generally come, to worship Lord Brahmā. In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.12) it is said, <i>kāṅkṣantaḥ karmaṇāṁ siddhiṁ yajanta iha devatāḥ:</i> materialists who want quick results in the material world worship demigods.

"translation": "<b>In this way the descendants of the monkeys intermingle with each other, and they are generally known as śūdras. Without hesitating, they live and move freely, not knowing the goal of life. They are captivated simply by seeing the faces of one another, which remind them of sense gratification.

"Materialistic people are sometimes called <i>śūdras,</i> or descendants of monkeys, due to their monkeylike intelligence. They do not care to know how the evolutionary process is taking place, nor are they eager to know what will happen after they finish their small human life span. This is the attitude of <i>śūdras.</i> Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mission, this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, is trying to elevate <i>śūdras</i> to the <i>brāhmaṇa</i> platform so that they will know the real goal of life. Unfortunately, being overly attached to sense gratification, materialists are not serious in helping this movement. Instead, some of them try to suppress it. Thus it is the business of monkeys to disturb the activities of the <i>brāhmaṇas.</i> The descendants of monkeys completely forget that they have to die, and they are very proud of scientific knowledge and the progress of material civilization. The word <i>grāmya-karmaṇā</i> indicates activities meant only for the improvement of bodily comforts. Presently all human society is engaged in improving economic conditions and bodily comforts. People are not interested in knowing what is going to happen after death, nor do they believe in the transmigration of the soul. When one scientifically studies the evolutionary theory, one can understand that human life is a junction where one may take the path of promotion or degradation. As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (9.25):",

"In this life we have to prepare ourselves for promotion to the next life. Those who are in the mode of <i>rajo-guṇa</i> are generally interested in being promoted to the heavenly planets. Some, unknowingly, are degraded to lower animal forms. Those in the mode of goodness can engage in devotional service, and after that they can return home, back to Godhead (<i>yānti mad-yājino 'pi mām</i>). That is the real purpose of human life. This Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is trying to bring intelligent human beings to the platform of devotional service. Instead of wasting time trying to attain a better position in material life, one should simply endeavor to return home, back to Godhead. Then all problems will be solved.

As long as one is materially attached, he wants to be elevated to the heavenly planets because of his attraction to the material world. The Supreme Personality of Godhead declares, however, \"Those who worship Me come to Me.\" If one has no information about the Supreme Lord and His abode, one tries to be elevated only to a higher material position, but when one concludes that in this material world there is nothing but repeated birth and death, he tries to return home, back to Godhead. If one attains that destination, he need never return to this material world (<i>yad gatvā na nivartante tad dhāma paramaṁ mama</i>).

By the mercy of both Kṛṣṇa and the spiritual master, such a person receives the seed of the creeper of devotional service.\" All living entities are rotating throughout the universe, going sometimes up to the higher planetary systems and sometimes down to the lower planets. This is the material disease, which is known as <i>pravṛtti-mārga.</i> When one becomes intelligent he takes to <i>nivṛtti-mārga,</i> the path of liberation, and thus instead of rotating within this material world, he returns home, back to Godhead.

"translation": "<b>Prajāpati Dakṣa said: </b><b>My sons were not at all freed from their three debts. Indeed, they did not properly consider their obligations. O Nārada Muni, O personality of sinful action, you have obstructed their progress toward good fortune in this world and the next because they are still indebted to the saintly persons, the demigods and their father.</b>",
"purport": [
"As soon as a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> takes birth, he assumes three kinds of debts—debts to great saints, debts to the demigods and debts to his father. The son of a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> must undergo celibacy (<i>brahmacarya</i>) to clear his debts to the saintly persons, he must perform ritualistic ceremonies to clear his debts to the demigods, and he must beget children to become free from his debts to his father. Prajāpati Dakṣa argued that although the renounced order is recommended for liberation, one cannot attain liberation unless one fulfills his obligations to the demigods, the saints and his father. Since Dakṣa's sons had not liberated themselves from these three debts, how could Nārada Muni have led them to the renounced order of life? Apparently, Prajāpati Dakṣa did not know the final decision of the <i>śāstras.</i> As stated in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (11.5.41):",
"<i>devarṣi-bhūtāpta-nṛṇāṁ pitèṇāṁ<br/> na kiṅkaro nāyam ṛṇī ca rājan<br/> sarvātmanā yaḥ śaraṇaṁ śaraṇyaṁ<br/> gato mukundaṁ parihṛtya kartam</i>",

"Everyone is indebted to the demigods, to living entities in general, to his family, to the <i>pitās</i> and so on, but if one fully surrenders to Kṛṣṇa, Mukunda, who can give one liberation, even if one performs no <i>yajñas,</i> one is freed from all debts. Even if one does not repay his debts, he is freed from all debts if he renounces the material world for the sake of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, whose lotus feet are the shelter of everyone. This is the verdict of the <i>śāstra.</i> Therefore Nārada Muni was completely right in instructing the sons of Prajāpati Dakṣa to renounce this material world immediately and take shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Unfortunately, Prajāpati Dakṣa, the father of the Haryaśvas and Savalāśvas, did not understand the great service rendered by Nārada Muni. Dakṣa therefore addressed him as <i>pāpa</i> (the personality of sinful activities) and <i>asādhu</i> (a nonsaintly person). Since Nārada Muni was a great saint and Vaiṣṇava, he tolerated all such accusations from Prajāpati Dakṣa. He merely performed his duty as a Vaiṣṇava by delivering all the sons of Prajāpati Dakṣa, enabling them to return home, back to Godhead."
