Bhagavad-gita that sucinam srimatam gehe yoga-bhrasto 'bhijayate [Bg. 6.41].

You'll find in course of this

discussion with Arjuna and Krsna when Krsna will describe about the yoga system, how to act it. This is
also yoga system, yoga-sthah kuru karmani. This is karma-yoga. This is karma-yoga.

Not this dull body

 spiritual beings, we are free, free to act, free to have anything, pure, no contamination, no
disease, no birth, no death, no old age
 once begun, this process of spiritual realization, one is guaranteed to have next life as human
being
 yoga-sthah kuru karmani. This is karma-yoga. BUT ANY YOGA TOO

The Bhagavata says, Srimad-Bhagavata says, tyaktva sva-dharmam caranambujam harer bhajann
apakvo 'tha patet tato yadi yatra kva vabhadram abhud amusya kim ko vartha aptah, aptah abhajatam
sva-dharmatah [SB 1.5.17]. This is speech by Narada to his disciple, Srila Vyasadeva, that "You should
try, people, to connect them in spiritual life, in conducting spiritual life. It doesn't matter even if he fails to
complete the course; still, he's not loser. Still, he's not loser. He..." The whole system of Vedic knowledge,
especially the Krsna philosophy... Krsna philosophy -- the whole philosophy.

Sanskrit word, Krsna, in a sectarian meaning. Krsna means the Supreme, the highest pleasure, highest
pleasure.

So now, yoga-sthah. In the previous verse we have been advised to work, continue work, being situated
in yoga. And in the next sloka Lord Krsna says,

durena hy avaram karma

buddhi-yogad dhananjaya
buddhau saranam anviccha
krpanah phala-hetavah
 [Bg. 9.49]
 Durena. Durena: "By force..." Just like unwanted things which we don't like, we throw it aside.
 "Discrimination is the best part of valor." Simply we have to learn how to discriminate whether we
are working on material platform or on the spiritual platform.
 The whole instruction of Bhagavad-gita is based on this principle, that Arjuna was perplexed with
material thoughts.

 Anything done in consideration of this body... This body means senses. The body means the
senses. That means anything which we do for sense gratification, that is material.
 And anything which we do for the satisfaction of the Supreme, that is spiritual platform. That's all.
So we have to discriminate "Whether I am working for sense gratification or whether I am working
for the satisfaction of the Supreme?" If this art we can learn, then our life becomes spiritualized.
Spiritual life does not mean that we have to change something of these activities which we are,
already we are engaged, or our form of the body will change to something extraordinary.

 And as we have explained, buddhi-yoga means devotional service to the Lord. So on the criterion
of buddhi-yoga, on the criterion of devotional service to the Lord, you have to do everything. That
is the, I mean to say, technique. That is the technique. Durena hy avaram karma buddhi-yogat,
buddhi-yogat. You have to use your intelligence, "Whether I am doing this on the platform of pure
consciousness or on the platform of this body?"

Now, in the beginning you require a guide. Without guide, it is not possible. Anything which you want to
learn in the beginning, any art or science, you require a guide. Without guide Just like a small child
And this is called dvija, or the second birth. When you catch hold of a bona fide spiritual master just to
guide you to act on the spiritual platform, then your second life begins. It is called dvija. So this life is so
important that one must begin it. One must begin it. There is no alternative. If a man is intelligent enough,
if at all he wants to make his life successful, this must he do.
The Vedas says, tad-vijnanartham sa gurum eva abhigacchet [MU 1.2.12]. This abhigacchet is the form of
verb which is imperative, "You must." Abhigacchet. This, this form of verb is used when the sense is "You
must." So the Vedic Upanisad directs that tad-vijnanartham: "In order to be situated, or in order to learn
how to act on the spiritual platform, you must seek out a bona fide spiritual master who can guide you."
So Krsna, Arjuna has selected Krsna as the spiritual master. We have already explained that Krsna,
Arjuna surrendered unto Arjuna (Krsna). And Narada says that "Even after, I mean to say, neglecting..."
Tyaktva sva-dharmam caranambujam hareh [SB 1.5.17]. Now, Narada says that "If somebody neglects
all other duties, all other duties..." Tyaktva sva-dharmam. Sva-dharmam means every particular man has
got some particular form of duty. Every particular man. You have got some duty, I have got some duty,
everyone. Nobody is dutiless. Now, Narada says, "Even sacrificing the so-called duties, if one takes
absolutely unto the spiritual life, then he is not loser. He's not loser. On the contrary, one who does not
take up this important path and remain engaged in the so-called duties, he's a loser. He's a loser." It is a
very important point.

 human life is guaranteed in the next birth.

 In the ordinary duty …
 You'll find in Bhagavad-gita that sucinam srimatam gehe yoga-bhrasto 'bhijayate [Bg. 6.41].
Bhrasta. Bhrasta means one, yoga-bhrasta, one who is prosecuting the yoga system... The yoga
sys... Yoga system I have already explained. Yoga system means the transcendental process by
which we realize ourself, we link up our life with self-realization. That is called yoga. Now, now,
somebody begins this yoga of self-realization, but for unfortunately he cannot prosecute the task
in a nice way, and sometimes he falls down, falls down from the path. Still, there is
encouragement that "You are not loser. You are not loser. Because you will be given a chance
next life, and that next life is not ordinary next life
 Sucinam
 Srimatam.
The successful goes back to Godhead directly. And even one is unsuccessful, half-finished, then he is
given chance to take his birth in two kinds of family. One set is srimatam. Srimatam means very well-to-
do, rich family. And other is very well polished, cultural brahmana family.

The, the big brother, Sir Padampat Singhania, if he's absent one day to pay respect to the Deity, he's
fined ten rupees, or ten dollars. You see? And, and next day the brahmana, or the pujari, the worshiper
engaged, he goes to collect the fine. He presents, "Yes, yes. I am sorry. Yes. Here is my fine." (laughs)
So of course, this is self-imposed, but the idea is that they are spiritually conscious in this way. "Oh, I did
not go yesterday to offer my respect to the Deity, Krsna. So I must pay fine." This is also spiritual
consciousness. This is also spiritual consciousness.

So the whole thing is that life should be molded, molded in such a way that in every step or action,
we shall feel the presence of the Lord. That is spiritual life. That is spiritual life. You need not change
your present occupation. Just like the example, this Singhania family, they do not change. They are doing
just like ordinary... But they are always spiritually conscious. The aim is, aim is toward Krsna. That is very
nice example. It is very ordinarY. EVERYONE WILL UNDERSTAND IT.

TRIANGLE LOVE.
we shall always remember the Supreme, the Supreme, in every step.
How to develop that, we require guide. We haven't got to change anything
side by side, let us have spiritual culture. Just like we are holding this class. This is also spiritual
culture, sravanam kirtanam [SB 7.5.23]. With your multifarious duties you come here thrice in a week and
try to understand. This is also spiritual culture. This will not go in vain. This will give you impression. Even
you stop coming here, that impression will never go. I tell you the that impression will never go. It is
such a thing. But if we take it up very seriously and go on molding our life in that way, then it becomes
quickly successful.

MD & LMD. ACHIEVE PERFECTION THIS LIFE IS THE OBJECTIVE.

If you do some practical work, oh, it is very, very nice. Even if you do not know any practical work,
simply you give your reception,

Therefore, as Lord Krsna says that,

durena hy avaram karma

buddhi-yogad dhananjaya
buddhau saranam anviccha
krpanah phala-hetavah
 [Bg. 9.49]

"Don't be miser. Don't be miser." Miser... We have already explained in our last meeting what is the miser
and what is a brahmana. The opposite word is brahmana. Miser means this valuable body, who does not
properly utilize it; simply they utilize this body for sense gratification and nothing more. They are krpana.
Krpana means miser. Miser, who does not utilize the asset given to him, he's a miser. Miser. He's not
liberal. One should be liberal.

There is a pandita, learned man. His name is Canakya. ALL DIE. Why don't you give it up for the highest
cause? Highest cause. This is the highest cause, spiritual realization. Somebody's offering his body for
country's cause. Somebody's offering body for the society's cause. Or somebody's offering body for theft
case or some murdering case. We have, everyone has to offer his body at the end. But the man who
sacrifices this body for the purpose of self-realization, he's the most intelligent man. Sannimitte varam
tyaga vinase niyate sati. You'll have to meet death, undoubtedly, but before meeting death... [break]

...as fully spiritualized. This is the instruction given. Buddhau saranam anviccha krpanah: "Don't be miser.
Don't misuse this great opportunity."

buddhi-yukto jahatiha
ubhe sukrta-duskrte
tasmad yogaya yujyasva
yogah karmasu kausalam
  [Bg. 2.50]

Persons who are not for spiritual realization, they may be engaged in work for eight hours only, but
those who are engaged for spiritual realization, oh, they are engaged twenty-four hours, twenty-four
hours. That is the difference. And that difference is... You'll find that on the material platform, on the bodily
conception of life, if you work for eight hours only, you'll feel fatigued. But spiritual purpose, if you work
more than twenty-four hours... Unfortunately, you haven't got more than twenty-four hours at your
disposal. Still, you won't feel fatigued. I tell you. This is my practical experience. This is my practical
experience.

So spiritual life is so sublime and so invigorating that you won't feel fatigued. Won't.
Good work
Bad work
And, transcendental work
Arjuna example.

 Somebody's earning very quickly, without any effort, and somebody, whole life working, he does not
get even sufficient for the maintenance

But when you work transcendentally, neither good nor bad, for the sake of the supreme
consciousness, transcendental position, you don't get this material birth at all. Therefore that is real good.
You are above this birth, death, old age and so many troubles, miseries of life.
Now, as I have already explained to you, that we require a guide. We require a guide. That guide should
be the representative of Krsna.

Just like you take a, take for example a lawyer. What do you mean by lawyer? One who understands the
lawbooks very nicely. He's a lawyer, a representative of law. Similarly, here in the Bhagavad-gita, there
are instructions of Krsna, and a person who understands these instructions rightly

Similarly, one who understands Bhagavad-gita as it is, without any wishful interpretation for his own
purpose... No. Bhagavad-gita as it is, as it is instructed to Arjuna. If there is somebody who understands
Bhagavad-gita in that way, he is the representative of God.
He is the representative of Krsna, and one should accept such representative of Krsna for his guide.
Then, actually, as much as Arjuna was guided by Krsna, then similarly, that person who takes the shelter
of the guidance of a person who is fully, I mean to say, aware, fully conversant with the science of
Krsna, he can guide you nicely and for your spiritual life as Lord Krsna has guided Arjuna for his spiritual
life.
