-Ch7
too young hi Tay justly navigate a Buster mama - of ocean his son his son today Krishna
Chaitanya government yard under city I studied out of hot cover enough hot Krishna Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hey and we heard at the bottom the Yogi's are the best among all
transcendentalists because they realize the super-soul of all the Yogi's the one who with great
faith always abides in Krishna thinks of Krishna within himself and renders transcendental
loving service to Krishna is the most intimately United Krishna in yoga and is the highest of all
this is Christmas opinion to the Prophet rights in the purport to versatile 47 the culmination of all
kinds of yoga practices lies in bhakti-yoga all other yoga's are but means to come to the point of
bhakti in bhakti-yoga yoga actually means bhakti-yoga all other yoga's are progressions towards
the destination of bhakti-yoga fine factually bhakti-yoga is the ultimate goal but to analyse
bhakti-yoga minutely one has to understand these other yoga's because the yoga system itself the
essential point is that connection with the supreme but at the same time as there's some technical
process by which that's happening how we're connecting so that those methods of connecting
through activity through knowledge through meditation these these aspects then are analyzed and
so they have their mechanical needs right but generally speaking is that they're presented in their
particular areas according to the nature of those persons does that make sense just like in other
words if devotional service is the ultimate goal of all activity all yoga's right but it has these these
distinct areas right that you have the elements of karma you have the elements of beyond you
know the elements elements of Gian right then then if the purpose of all that is simply Krishna
consciousness then in analyzing that it would be analyzed if it's or let's say if it's analyzed
according to the nature of people who would be attracted by that aspect right then there's the
most chance that they will then take up devotional service or at least have the opportunity this
doesn't make sense in other words if it's only someone who's a devotee only and you explained
the element of karma just for them that means then it basically for others who are
materialistically inclined it would close the door right but the point is this we were saying before
is that that element itself that yoga Karma Yoga Yoga Yoga Johnny oh the only workers of
bhakti why because they're actually part of the process of bhakti but someone can misuse them
and try to apply them separate from bhakti right so if is explained in that language for them but
at the same time is still just describing bhakti but in their language then they may miss miss
apply it right but you still have the opportunity that because it's connected to bhakti and that's
what actually makes it work then if they're actually sincere then that association that devotees
will bring that process they're using bring it you know real life the devotional life and then they'll
already be situated does that make sense in other words by explaining karma karma yoga right
means in other words devotional service then one aspect of it is activities than Krishna
consciousness so that Karma Yoga but if we use the language of the fruitive worker of the
Carmy right then then they're going to take up everything except for having the right
consciousness you understand they're doing everything but the consciousness is not all right so if
you can change that consciousness they're already doing everything there's only cents but so
right same with the Gianni right he's following the lifestyle of the element of renunciation and
knowledge in Krishna consciousness but his consciousness is not right right or the yogi he's
meditating upon the Lord everything is there but the consciousness was not quite right does that
make sense so by doing that you broaden the scope of people actually being engaged in the pious
activities that easily could lead to Krishna consciousness because it says the pious people
surrender doesn't say the pious people always do but at least they're the ones that you know you
never say in other words writing in a way for sinful people that's useless because it doesn't say
that the sinful people risk surrender right does that make sense so here's that so therefore one
we're defining karma is being used through that language so we know it through there or Gyan
we know it through through that that that language that flavor or at Yoga you know the Jian
through that flavor but actually they're all part of bhakti so they're just being explained in that
way right somebody sense so that's why when we analyze that then it appears to have that flavor
because that's what we're used to we're used to hearing karma is as fruits of activities beyond as
you know impersonal realization right and yoga you know for either merging into the Lord or for
mystic cities so we're used to that it carries them but actually all it is is that devotional service
being explained in that flavor who's that but underlying if the devotee studies it he'll see the
proper devotional principles everything are explained there but because of the way the language
is presented someone who is materialistic could mistake them but at least they're following some
so myself so following the Vedic Authority is better than not following it right but the purpose of
the Vedic Authority is to know Krishna so the best is direct so that's why the officer that if he has
written this and made this scope for everyone but Narada Muni said this is not enough because
they're just going to get it attracted by all these things and never take up Krishna consciousness
unless you make it obvious unless you make it direct so she met Barger Tom makes it direct right
but all the other ones they don't know not so direct semi sense so that's there for the languages
that are used in all that are defining it in that way but those languages are the language of
Krishna consciousness but because of the context of it then we take it that oh that's that's yoga
language so that's beyond language but it's not it's actually devotional language but it's just I'm
saying it's just explained indirectly right so it's analyzed but and explained indirectly so here then
Krishna's bringing it where he's explaining it directly making it obvious making it clear so we
actually see what is Karma Yoga it's not Karma's Karma Yoga Eon it's not galaxies and yoga
right the Istana is actually meant to be connected devotional service this make sense yes kind of
maybe okay so therefore safe actually bhakti-yoga is the ultimate goal but to analyze bhakti-yoga
minutely one has to understand these other yoga's right because they're actually part of bhakti but
they're explained here the difficulty is is when someone goes into these others and then they
study them and then they get distracted now that's unfortunate right so it's mentioned right here
that you know that shouldn't happen because they're explaining bhakti so if you see them
separately you've missed the point right there's every sense you know devotee takes up I guess
who wants to get into medicine gets into I obeyed and all that I obeyed is simply only explaining
health in relationship to God consciousness but how you gonna find God consciousness through
the practice of health right but someone get into that because it uses a particular language and
those who are in the field they use that language but they're materialistic then they pick up that
materialistic mood and think well it doesn't actually have anything to do with Krishna
consciousness right so then they become good at their Ayurvedic medicine and their pious but
they're not good conscious at least not in this area so then when they hear something from from
the devotional scriptures and then from there if there's seeming contradiction then they'll take the
side of the higher vey but they don't understand Ayurveda is explaining that but through that
language so then they're distracted so then that's unfortunate right coming from a you know
impious background coming up to the platform of piety you know a cup being come he's being
favored with the option for God consciousness but instead when when settles for piety that's sad
so much work because you have to go from the impious back to being pious that's a lot of work
but for all that work what are their gonna get nothing so that's what Bogota means that Rama a
that he came a little simply a waste of time but that much time so we can take that put that into
psychology you know cooking martial arts you know philosophies yoga you know any of these
things because they're pious activities but to settle for that piety and think that's equal to or
greater you know then the holy name is known as the second offense in other words what
because you're saying it there's only bhakti there isn't anything else but because of the nature of
it's explained in that way because that perspective you're looking at it from the aspect of
performance of activity so you have to use dotted definitions that define that the bhakti-yoga is
the topmost yoga system hazardous confirmed in srimad-bhagavatam eleven fourteen twenty my
dear uddhava the unalloyed devotional service rendered to me my My devotees brings me under
their control I cannot be thus controlled by those engaged in mystic yoga Shanker philosophy
pious work Vedic study austerity or renunciation so he said he's not saying that these are bad he's
just saying they won't control him right but devotional service that controls him right so in other
words one devotional service is the point but the field may be through these other activities let
me sense and others through pious activities then the Lord is is means that's the medium of
exchange but the point of using that flat exchange is devotion does it make sense it's very
important in other words to do an activity you have to have a situation right and that activity gets
the result sense so the activities importance is the result and you can only perform the activity in
the environment so devotional service are pleasing Krishna that's the goal that's what you're
trying to get to but you have to have a medium the medium has to have a situation right someone
has when they are nondifferent but at the same time different so in other words whatever you're
doing it should be a medium for Krishna consciousness if it is good if it's not basically useless
does that make sense yeah yeah because otherwise you have to be very careful is that otherwise
it will take it and say okay we'll throw that out you know we'll throw out this I think any little
thing out then throws it out no point is is taking it as your goal that's useless it's only a medium
goal is love of God but in Nabi daya you have to use some skills something has to be there that's
these things right you're using austerity renunciation study pious work chunk all these that's
what's being used as a medium and then the environment is an environment that would be
conducive to God consciousness another was sense that's your goal because you're your hobby
daya means you're connecting some buns on pyogenic like so you try to put yourself in a
situation that then you can use these things to please Krishna no sense so the situation therefore
becomes important what happen it means the temple environment your home environment your
beaching environment your working environment it was important to see these in the proper way
otherwise of this yoga stands on its own then you could have a yoga studio so the situation is
pious but not God conscious so that means then you know what is your goal because how would
you have this situation means in other words my goal is not going to be attracted to a situation
that's not compatible you know I'm saying there's no common ground what will be the attraction
all right there's a retaining the masculine feminine principle here's some money in piyo Jinnah
what's what why would these two be connected if your goal is pure Krishna consciousness right
that that would be the environment of the yoga would be in the same way you know I'm saying
one may use language that people are used to that's that's the way it's written anyway Yoga is
written in that language so it's not hard for us to talk to link that's the way it's written unison but
the our media means you're using that medium through devotion that's going to result in Krishna
being pleased somebody sense otherwise you can't just set up any environment and then say
that's going to generate Gousha my conscious no it's not because that takes prominence right so
if there's going to be a balance then that means if the prominence of the of the yoga experience is
not devotional means the result will not be devotional and that means even though the technique
you're using may be correct it's not being done in devotion you understand very subtle right
because the officer Dave is talking as close as you can you know to delivering Krishna
consciousness through all these pious mediums but still when push comes to shove it's not
enough at some point you have to say directly but the technical words the analyzation all these
presentation that's fine but you have to bring it closer but you have to actually bring it when you
actually reveal what's there but just the point is you don't understand that you're using these
mediums to bring one near right then you've missed the point otherwise how do they connect
you're taking someone down the road they don't know what the what the end of the road is but
still you're not walking down that road you're not going to get there you know you want to get
them to that end of the road but you don't walk down the road you take a different Road it's not
going to get there this make sense so nice to be very very careful so the profit summarizes the
sixth chapter as follows in the first six chapters of bhagavad-gita the living entity has been
described as non material mature spirit soul capable of elevating himself to self-realization by
different types of yoga's at the end of the sixth chapter has been clearly stated that the steady
concentration of the mind upon Krishna or in other words Krishna consciousness is the highest
form of all yoga's different types of yoga are only stepping stones on the path of Krishna
consciousness one who takes directly the Krishna consciousness automatically knows about
brahmajyoti in part brought Paramatma in full but by practice of Krishna consciousness yoga one
oh my practice of Krishna conscious yoga one can know everything in full namely the absolute
truth the living entities the material nature and their manifestations with paraphernalia so the
living entity being spiritual he's not connect to the material world he can elevate himself through
all these different yoga systems but the point is to be always absorbed in Krishna that's Krishna
consciousness somebody says who we see here what we're meaning before about the element is
taken but it's taken out of the context but it's still because you're concentrated but the yogi is
concentrating on Paramatma so he's meditating upon the Lord right but he's not meditating with
devotion so Krishna kinda means meditating on the Lord with devotion so you've simply taken
that meditation upon the Lord that's supposed to be with devotion and you've taken out a
devotion right or knowledge about the Lord but without devotion it's only from liberation the
other ones only for mystic City right or you perform your pious activities you know the proper
activity proper lifestyle but you've taken out of the context of devotion right so then it becomes
fruitive activities unison sono was performing your activities for krishna your knowledge about
Krishna and and meditation on Krishna right so body mind and words that's supposed to be
connected to Krishna but when you take Krishna out of it then they become karma gone and
Yoga yes please if you want to get Krishna if you want to get something else there's somebody
qualified people you know they know that knowledge they may be practicing it that's better right
but in other words having knowledge that's important if you want to teach you should have that
knowledge if you can practice that knowledge apply it that's even better if you understand what's
the purpose of applying that knowledge in Krishna consciousness that's the best so the devotee is
actually the real teacher because otherwise human life is not meant to just be expert at different
skills right because the point is is that skill with time will go away you know I'm saying in other
words you had the proper knowledge that skill will go away because when you're young you can
apply this skill when you get old you can't so in other words the old person can tell you what to
do but if he tries to do it if he doesn't do it as well as he talks about it in other words he knows it
better than he can perform it when he's older so then the young people all all he doesn't know
right so they'll make mistakes so that goes away but the knowledge doesn't but if it's material
knowledge when you die it's gone also but if you understand that knowledge and connection of
history and that's that's eternal that doesn't go away so for all that endeavor because all that is this
consciousness the difference between using using karma yan and yoga for Christian or not is
simply consciousness that's all so that's not a separate endeavor let's always say Christian Raja is
not a separate endeavor it's simply being conscious efficient that's what we're trying to get to and
that consciousness should be favorable it says devotional so being free from karma yon doesn't
mean it's not using the techniques of Carmen yon it means it's not for the purpose its goal is not
the Gulf fruitive activities are in person or liberation his purpose is the police crucial right we're
so used to that activity fruitive activities and liberation those stand on their own we don't
understand that they're actually borrowed from from krishna consciousness but we're so
conditioned that we think that they they have meaning on their own you know just be like I have
a I have a lighter and it stands on its own is the separate entity no its purpose is to light
something but for you know for so long Carmen and Yong have been used separately from
Krishna consciousness that we actually think that they can stand it so that's why it's confusing
what but what you know is is that there is an accretion kind of not as the stand-ins you know
these are the problem no devotional service is the actual activity of the living entity that's what
goes on the spiritual world that's reflected in the material world so the activities are the same
problem is is this perverted because the consciousness has changed from crucian of being the
center to us being the center when we become the centers that of God all those activities that they
do in the spiritual world like mother showed it goes and wakes crucian up in the morning right
then he no tents to the cows it takes his bath and everything like that she feeds him his breakfast
so all those activities that she does having the house arrangement the house nice food is there
there nice clothing ornaments you know the schedule all that is simply to serve Krishna right
that's reflected in the material world it's the same thing you get up in the morning you have your
bath you take your breakfast at least that's the theory right you know doesn't always work like
that once you kind of like cross you know I say you know the river you know like that so you
know so yes that means so then here in the material that be that's what people do in their houses
and they're like why are they doing that right or mothers wake up children you know and get
them ready and feed them because mother just showed it does that that's that's how you take care
of the child right let's that's it but it seems like it stands on its own family life stands on its own
separate from Krishna consciousness no it's only purpose it's crucial in consciousness there isn't
any other purpose to it so mother just show to her son is Krishna right so that works very directly
there but other ladies in Vrindavan their sons aren't Krishna but they're still getting them up
feeding them getting ready why so they can go and serve Krishna so either way it works that's
reflected here that people think family life functions on its own without Krishna consciousness
no it doesn't it's a reflection of activities in the spiritual world what's changed is the
consciousness you understand but when we're defining the house then it's going to be according
to the paraffin though the house activities of the house right so you're not gonna have big
philosophical meaning words because you're dealing with how the house works make sense so
then this is what we mean when we say the yoga process right all these aspects of yoga they're
actually defining devotional service but when we study these areas then we study them they have
their own language and everything but that language is part of the devotional process we're
thinking that it functions separately I have my job mother Krishna goes out intends the cows
Nanda Baba does that the kings in Mathura then they do what they're doing or the kings in
Dwarka they do what they're doing right right you have all the assistants and servants and bribes
they all assist devices they're the structure is there the Brahmans there the Brahmins there are
doing all the Yogi's and this and that all connected to Krishna right so that all reflects year so
people think my occupation is separate from crucian my family life is separate from Krishna
only saadon that has something to do with Krishna you understand but that's an illusion that's
why it's called Maya so devotees say I'm being practical and seeing my family life and
occupation as separate from Krishna how is that practical practical for what makes you some
temporary money and then you're dead and then what that's the point right why would one work
for something one's going to lose right you tell oh you work very hard you'll get so much money
but it's all going to be lost are you gonna take up the the you know the offer no but that's exactly
what's happening they're gonna work hard their whole life lose everything nothing you can't even
take one stitch of clothing with you nothing that's it but we work very hard and then we say it's
practical so that's that's the point it's tough to be able to see that all there is this Christian of
consciousness all this being defined and knowledge is Krishna consciousness but we have this
we're under the solution that it can be defined separately activities knowledge absorption can be
defined separately as we see even to make the material energy of any attractiveness that we do
want to deal with it separately Krishna has to enter it Krishna is the power of economics he is the
taste within the family life but he is whatever it is that that allows us to get anything done and the
extend the taste that we get from that experience he enters the dead matter and makes that
happen for us right it's that even there on the lower level mechanics still is Krishna but we think
it's not right spiritual world it's obvious here it's not right so all these different elements of yoga
can get you there but Krishna conscious is the most efficient because we can see as as go through
their very elaborate these other systems you know the amount of wealth and piety you have to
have for karma it's very great then fergie on the amount of knowledge and renunciation which
parity is very great but for yoga we see what you have to go through you know to bring yourself
to the to Jung is very great but Krishna consciousness is the point if that's there then everything
falls into play what aspect of activity knowledge and meditation is important that's already
included in the last verse of the sixth chapter the Lord introduces bhakti yoga which will be
described in detail in the middle six chapters in the first chapter of bhagavad-gita our journey
becomes depressed and refuses to fight through the family attachment beginning of the second
chapter he surrenders to Christian and begs for guidance to remove Arjuna solution Krishna
explains the position of the soul since Arjuna's lamentation is still not dispelled the Lord gives
the method by which the Salkin can be realized nice car Mia the end of the second chapter the
Lord describes the characteristics of the self-realized person right because in other words the
whole point is Arjuna is lamenting Arjuna's and anxiety so the Gita is to remove this anxiety
right because by koonta means no lamentation so to bring him to the transcendental platform this
knowledge is there in the beginning of the third chapter Arjuna is confused because he
misunderstood that acquiring transmittal knowledge is compat is incompatible with work to
eradicate this mistake Krishna explained nice carnea Buddha yoga as work combined with
knowledge such detachment such detached work is a sacrifice and it is the means of attaining
Transformer realization in other words you're working but the knowledge is less so it is simply
fruitive activity right the Karma but when you add the proper knowledge of the soul which is
only found in GaN karma doesn't deal with that of course one has to believe in the soul to to be
comfortable with karma because the otherwise I'm going to perform the activity but you know if
at the time of death it appears it's lost no but you go to the heavenly planets so you have to
believe in you know the eternality of the soul for that but that's all that's only as much as there
but the self-realized person and all that that's not brought into it so that's brought in so that you
can see Karma Yoga means that his Karma with this knowledge of the soul proper knowledge of
the soul right so then that makes the Buddha yoga but then this is then being done in connection
with the Supreme Lord otherwise then like the Gianni it's only up to the level of Vermont so
we're dealing with you know the devotional service so it will get you liberated will get you out of
interior world be pious get you out of the material world nice karma will free you but the point is
this the soul is servant of Krishna that's why then you have to introduce Johnny Yoga means
you're meditating upon the supreme person and that should be with devotion otherwise you just
meditate and then then you get you know some benefit but still it's not going to be but still with
you to tell such do tax work as a sacrifice and is the means of obtaining transcendental
realization it is performed even by great self-realized Souls in order to get it to set a good
example for others the Lord emphasizes that in order to perform nice karma steadily one should
conquer lust and thus overcome material dualities in the third chapters explain the nice karma
culminates in transmittal knowledge I've shown each one is taking it to the next in the fourth
chapter the Lord glorifies transitional knowledge is the goal of all sacrifices Krishna gives the
essence of the transitional knowledge by revealing the cause of his appearance and the
transitional nature his pastimes so now that you're doing an activity knowledge should be the
result but that knowledge to be knowledge of cushion that's the whole point so in other words if
your activity doesn't attain transcendence then the activity is not very worthwhile and then he's
bringing out his nature of his pastimes his own nature and pastimes because through knowledge
you'll get understand Brahman and Paramatma right but it's only through devotion you'll
understand him as a person but that's the goal so that knowledge is then brought in line with
devotion that will then give you the devotion so it means then you'll realize the supreme person
our journey still confused because he did not understand that work in full knowledge is
nonreactive there's therefore the same as in action as a result on the beginning of the fifth chapter
he asked which is more beneficial were Karina renunciation of work Krishna explains that
though they are equal work and knowledge is better than renunciation of work because it is
easier and safer karma yoga can be replaced with Vianney yoga only by a person who is
sufficiently purified by detached work so unless you're completely detached you won't be able to
situate yourself there the point is is how will you not be attached because if you're actually just a
Johnny you're attached to liberation so there's going to be a limit to the quality of his work so
what's going to power he's still self-centered right so you'd have to be extremely pious Li self-
centered to be able to get to make the system work right so therefore it's better to be to perform
activities that purifies one but the same time as the activity binds you which of the Jian is trying
to get rid of so if nice karma if you're performing the activity not for your supper for Krishna
then you get then you actually accomplish both right because the activity is purifying you and
elevating you and the knowledge of Krishna then is actually the knowledge that will power the
whole thing right so even if you're not that pious still it will work because devotional service is
the highest piety that makes sense otherwise you have to extremely materially qualifies and even
then so much qualification so much work and then the end up with the temporary result another
waste of time yes so it's not that once you strive for replacing karma-yoga jnana-yoga it's not
important Buddha Yoga does everything perfectly so Buddha Yoga is beyond the fruitive results
is beyond in other words the problems with Carmen the problems of Yan aren't in Buddha yoga
you have the activity by which you can purify yourself in elevators 6th chapter describes how
one can attain self-realization by the method of astanga-yoga as with viana yoga astanga-yoga is
suitable for a person who's been purified by karma yoga the stronger yogi is the best of all
transcendentalists and the devotee is the topmost amongst all Yogi's so in other words the the the
astanga-yoga he has gotten himself to that transcend a platform but he's going beyond bump
Ramon Department says situation himself better than the Gyana yoga because the only goes
Vermont right but the devotee bhakti yogi is better because he understands both Bhagavan so the
devotee understanding that can deal with the elements of Krishna as brahmana Krishna's
paramaatma because you know where were where they're from so it's different that's why it's
devotional service it looks the same because you're using these techniques but it's actually
different as you're describing the person you're glorifying the person rather than just brahmana
part okay yes just below ah non-slip right for them that you saw the weather to give you the
bounce linen so now 7 to 12 the other one had a table of contents okay okay so knowledge is
chapter seven dollars the absolute chapter eight obtaining the supreme nine the most confidential
knowledge ten opulence of the absolute eleven the universal form and twelve devotional service
okay chapter seven knowledge of the absolutes in the seventh chapter Lord Krishna explains that
he is the supreme truth the supreme cause and sustained the sustaining force of everything both
material and spiritual advanced soul surrender unto Him and devotion whereas Empire souls
divert their minds to other objects of worship so he is the sustaining force he's the supreme cause
and stating force of everything but so everything is going on through his potency the Jeeva is his
potency but he has that independence so he's the operational cause but the material cause is
Krishna's energy and works according to his direction right the formal cause is this internal
potency working according to his direction and he himself is you know the original cause that
means three out of four are him right and even the method of operation has to be according to the
nature of the operational cause and the formal cause and the only reason you're doing it is
because of the ultimate cause so even in performing our activity we're still dependent upon the
other three so their sense and they're all coming for Christmas so there is no question of if there
anything else but it says advance so surrender to him and devotion whereas Empire souls divert
their minds to other objects of worship in other words they think that that matter is worshipable
right they've done something they've gotten it because it's theirs it's important right the methods
of getting it you know become important you know those who inspire them to do this are
important so they missed the whole point is that it's actually only crucial there isn't something
else there's an illusion to think there's something else no there's only Christian right but it's not
it's all one no that doesn't we're used to know everything you're looking at it's only purpose is
Krishna so isn't anything else other than Krishna conscious mistake Krishna conscious activities
to see anything other than that that's illusory so that's the big eaters and the first six chapters of
bhagavad-gita the first six chapters of bhagavad-gita dealt mainly with karma yoga the middle
six chapters with bhakti yoga and the last six chapters with jana yoga but no Karma Yoga is the
main and you're adding all these other aspects so you see how to perform activities in Krishna
consciousness ladies middle six will deal with that devotion in dealing with this because this
dealing specific the Lord Himself there are all these different aspects of the Lord we saw is that
that's all that remains of the chapters knowledge of the absolute attaining the absolute most
confidential knowledge which is about the absolute opulence of the absolute the universal form
which is tell me from the look and devotional service right and then the last six will deal with the
karma yoga we see Johnny yoga does it show the techniques of that the fine points but point is
that you have your activities you know your goal then these techniques are important right but if
you so you don't start there one thing o hawai not that neck you'll get distracted karma you get so
caught up in the skills that you'll forget the goal does that make sense and also even if your
present presenting all these different things you're gonna start with you know the activity of this
then there's going to be the goal then you're going to perform the activity so make sense so in
other words the environment is that of karmayoga your goal is bhakti over but your technique
you gonna use this yummy Oh does that make sense so still it works that's the way the mind is
thinking feeling willing so according to note on this according to srila baladeva vidyabhusana the
first six chapters have spoken mainly about the syrup of the Jeeva and the means to real realize
his this room the middle six chapters speak about the swoop of the Lord was the object of
worship of the Jeeva and the means to realize them okay so in other words what is that what is
the soul what is his nature that he performs activities he's busy but he has yet to have goals all
everything about the not because he stuck it on under so how to get that Ananda it's through
work so that work is based on knowledge chit and that's based on the on the on existence right so
the souls eternal worth transcendental knowledge he performs his activities right for our
transcendental result that means his activities of transcendental right but in these next six we'll be
talking about the Lord the nature of the Lord his room who is the goal so he's established from
his first six that Krishna was the goal that one becomes a yogi by connecting it to the Lord but
now in these next it'll be about the Lord because now that one's accepted the process okay now
one has to become attracted to the Lord so now we'll deal with the Lord Sundaram at Chakrabarti
taqwa explains why bhakti-yoga is placed between karma and beyond bhakti-yoga is placed
between karma and yon because of his confidential nature because it is because of its superiority
by which is able to give life to the other two because of its being so rare and moreover because
these two are useless without Bucky the Carmen and Yan presented kita have been mixed with
bhakti and become more acceptable in his purport to Bhagat so it was beyond as we see it is
knowledge of activities right so you have the activity and the knowledge of activity so they've
been split right they go together but they've been split here and devotional service put in between
and because of the - of activity and knowledge knowledge is higher all right so that naturally
would come second and knowledge to come first but because of its confidential nature it's put in
the middle every sense well sure it comes here I think I think it's imported from one of the Atari
Asst bridge entropy mentions this is just like when the King goes out there's army in the front
there's army behind he's in the middle that he's not in the front he's not in the back he's literally
it's a devotional service that's the king and so karma and jana on both sides it is purport to
bhagavad-gita 8:28 Sheila prophet writes chapters 7 through 12 are the essence of bhagavad-gita
the first six in the last six chapters are like coverings for the middle six chapters which are
especially protected by the Lord one is fortunate enough to understand bhagavad-gita especially
these middle six chapters in an in the association of devotees then his life at once becomes
glorified beyond all penances sacrifices charity speculations etc for one can achieve all the
results of these activities simply by Krishna consciousness so penance is for you no elevating
oneself so by doing things in connection with Krishna that will be give the best sacrifice means
sacrificing for the benefit of someone else voluntarily so the highest sacrifices is the sacrifice for
the Lord now charity your giving you sharing what you have so the point is is what's the greatest
wealth greatest wealth is Krishna consciousness right means you have wealth more important
than wealth is power more important powers knowledge so knowledge is the wealth of the
Brahmins and of wealth knowledge of Krishna that of knowledge the Krishna that devotion so if
you can give this knowledge of Krishna and devotion to people that's the greatest charity right
speculations so when you when you contemplate the knowledge of Krishna consciousness in
connection with what you see around you and bring what you see around you in line with
Krishna consciousness has seen by by authority then that's the best use of it that's the speculative
process the innocent so Krishna conscious automatically includes all these other parts so now
hopefully we can understand these little six chapters now what says that we'll test to see whether
we ended Deon YZ or not you know that was it okay versus one two three knowing Krishna by
hearing from him because otherwise you're going to you can hear about him but hearing from
him is very authoritative especially for someone who doesn't know him right for those who have
that faith in Krishna than by hearing from the devotees then there's always going to be something
more you know was that amazing you know cos Krishna's talking about from the position of
tattva he's the greatest because he's got it's just the way it is he's not he's not so just like the guy
who owns the company you know if he says yeah I'm the boss I'm in charge of the whole
company you know so like that that's that's not a matter of pride it's just a matter of fact right but
if you want to hear about Krishna personally from the element of rasa that you hear from the
devotees verses 4 to 14 Christian is the source of all spiritual and material energies and the
controller of the three modes right so everything's coming from him that's appreciated and he's
controlling it then whatever you're dealing with is only with Krishna right the spiritual we're not
getting into details so we just say spiritual everybody's happy but we say material energies then
that means the modes right the dead matter in the mode so that Krishna is controlling so that
means there isn't anything outside of Krishna he is the supreme controller verses 15 and 19 two
classes of people pious and empires verses 2223 the demigod worshipers 24 to 28 the
impersonalist okay so we've got the pious and in pious you divided that so what is pious what's
impact then a pious than the other demigod worshipers and the impersonalists as a demigod
worship or okay on a lower level the fruitive workers then you have the the yani so that's on a
higher level right as far as maturity goes why are the Gianni's on a higher level they dress more
cool they have knowledge of what they're doing there's one other aspect transcendentalist yes so
yeah you could say that aspect would be there but that would be along with the knowledge he
also would have to do with this other aspect more sense control yes so the detachment so
knowledge and detachment are always respected that's why the gyani socially is greater respect
than a carny right but ultimately we know that the gianni though his situation is greater there's a
problem because of their attachment to the impersonal so it's going to be hard for them to be
involved in the devotional process very easy for them to study very easy for them to bring
renounce but to engage in the devotional process big problem right the car mate he believes in
processes and results some people and relationships and all that but he thinks it's for himself like
why due to lack of knowledge and renunciation right so if you can have the faith in happiness
through personal interaction and you know you know being in in a environment of facility with
the proper knowledge and detachment of the gyani then that's very powerful for elevation but it'll
only work if you add the Lord because why will one work for your personal liberation and for
one who knows the material interaction gives problem why you should work so it has to be
there's something transcendental there's the Lord so because of the Lord him as a person and we
as a person there for the cultivation of the relationship with the supreme person through activities
then does it then both accomplishes the knowledge and detachment of the Gion and the activity
of conduct that make sense otherwise what will be the motive so that's why you'll see in persons
will be put on the higher level because that's what drives the the lower but at the same time as
they're both just pious and so they kind of get stuck here a bit right and twenty-nine verses 29 to
30 yoga mr. Buckley versus one two three knowing Krishna by hearing from him in the last
verse of the sixth chapter krishna listed the symptoms of the topmost yogi it constantly
remembers him and renders devotional service unto him with full faith in the beginning of the
seventh chapter Krishna explains how to come to the platform of always remembering him from
within marketing art mud got ten nun Tarak mana since this subject is very important the Lord
speaks about it with the having been asked further by Arjuna because generally as a question this
asked I mean you present something then the student asks then you'll actually have a good
discussion they don't want to know that doesn't go anywhere but in this case he's shown his
inquisitiveness right through questioning in that of the through this first six chapters but now it's
something that he won't know about so it's not a met he hasn't brought it up so it's a matter you
throw something out is that make sense in other words you say something to generate a question
right but if but if that's not there then you have to say something more and then then there's a
field in other word you only ask a question in a field of active action right so if that field is not
created then how will the question will be there so the trick is is how to present something to
generate the question but in this case you have to create the field first but the others may be a
little simple thing and that will create enough field to work with with there they could but you
have to be able to think storage creating the field in first one Christian explains that with mind
attached to him by practicing yoga in full consciousness of him we can know him completely
without a doubt this can be obtained simply by hearing from Krishna touched Renu yeah so now
if you're thinking of Krishna and working for Krishna you can know Krishna right because
means what is their means basically speaking you have Carmen Beyond right so if all your
knowledge is about the Krishna and all your activities are connected to Christian or what's left
it's all covered and said everything that you're dealing with all knowledge and all activity all
things that you're dealing with is Krishna so you're always absorbed in Krishna so then what's
qualified to know God is in the spiritual world all their activities are connected to Krishna all
whatever knowledge they have about whatever they're doing is connected to Krishna so then one
is qualified to work and that platform like they work so much knowledge about Krishna includes
everything knowable and Krishna Claire's at once Arjuna attains this knowledge there will be
nothing more to be known everything knowable means whatever there is it's not the Oh Krishna
conscious of this no Gita is giving how you know what anything is right so that's once that is
understood then you can see Krishna and everything because he's saying is that by Pratt in full
consciousness of him we can be we can know him completing with that adult doubt right so if
you're fully conscious of God in everything what more is there to know everything else is simply
just a mechanical skill the other step but is Krishna who's important but you want to deal with a
particular field you have to know the skill that's nature right so in the spiritual world you have
your relationship with Krishna right if your mother of Krishna then what knowledge do you have
to know what skills do you have to have right mother showed it X with it cooking actually take
you've heard the house expert in aesthetics you know expert in dealings you know a management
of all these different things she knows the season she knows what's what she knows all these
different things you knows about the cows so all that that she can do her service the crucial
niceties of mother you understand like that so in the same way that reflected into the material
world you have your conditioned nature so that means which aspect of Krishna's creation what
you would use as your skill to serve be conscious of Krishna so that knowledge that
consciousness of Krishna that's the point you're always conscious of Krishna then the medium
through which you prefer to be conscious of Krishna that's according to your particular nature
some reasons as Sheila prophet writes in this purport to verse to complete knowledge includes
knowledge of the phenomenal world the spirit behind it and the source of both of them this is
transcendental knowledge but in other words the world itself the spirit behind it what makes it
work and then the source of them because Krishna is the source of Brahman he's the source of
his his energies says material world is one of his energies right and then his his qualities as
Vermont reflected into this world that's the spirit that makes it work no doesn't make any sense
the spirit behind as we were discussing before is Vermont has entered everything and so
therefore that's why everything works because we've been discussing before we brought it more
up the paramount in a level discussion and touching on the the Pergamon level so we haven't
really discussed the Vermont level for some time but the point is Vermont level is the aspect of
where Krishna's and his potencies quality has entered something and his energies then take the
forms and the activities that support that quality but they have strength so that's the quality of
Krishna so this forms of whispers strength can take so a column or a pillar is one of them right
but that's the formal cause that's the internal potency then the external potency then mirrors that
as a column made out of material elements does that make sense right so therefore these these
three the original cause the formal cause and the position of the material cause this is all
Vermont right the soul is also Vermont so when the soul can see this that's the Vermont platform
so anything that you you seen you see it in relationship to Vermont it's all crucial is energies
there's nothing else going on here that's spirit that's per month yes okay you can hear it's in there
saying that the Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak does that make more sense right then when
you understand why is you choose certain ones you know places to see the Lord that's your value
but that's because of your nature and your nature is what you're going to interact with so in other
words the knowledge is saying Christian and everything right but you're going to apply that
knowledge but that's going to be according to your condition nature so application of knowledge
now is gonna deal with super-soft because he's the one that sanctions and controls the motors
Vermont is just the fact what's going on who is there how the Lord has entered right that's what
creates that attraction but that's working with that attraction making a goal of something that
we're working with that's paramount so therefore this is how how krishna right he's the ease
knowledge of the phenomenal world means you have the knowledge of it you know and that can
go with the skills of it then then the spirit behind it how Berman is entered right or how para
mom has entered here this is transmittal knowledge right but he's the source of both these
Krishna's the source of Brahman and Paramatma and of the material world so the world itself is
coming from Krishna it's a reflection of his internal potency and vermin and paramaatma are the
manifestations of the Lord in here that are there simply because the devotees are I mean the
nondevotees aren't interested in the Lord right so he's still because yeah some reasons so the
Lord innocent internal potency are interacting but because that's not appreciated therefore it's
reflected in - in other words the activities the situations and activities of the Lord his internal
potency are then reflected as the material energy so it looks the same but one's alive one's dead
but that reflection is real you understand is you look in the mirror and you can scratch your nose
why because that so you could say how is the mirror how is the reflection moon is reflection
that's the material energy right the mirror is the material energy but it's reflecting the activities
going on on the spiritual platform so the potency in the material energy is spiritual energy
material energy doesn't have a separate potency assembly sense because it's just like the mirror
doesn't have a separate potency it only reflects what's real so material energy is simply reflecting
what's real and because it happens when we do it we think we're the controller's of it and we're
an illusion that the results are ours so we're bound by the material by the modes of nature yes
because the point is this is his qualities and all that this is just like standing outside the mirror do
you do you exist as a reflection or only as a person yeah so the reflection is only because of the
of their being a mirror you know I'm saying so the material phenomena the Lord is reflected and
that reflection is as Paramatma and Bhagavan I mean Parliament Vermont but if actually he's a
person but it's his potencies that makes everything work I'm saying so it's his mirror right there's
any sense so that's the point the mirror does what he wants it to do it reflects what he wants we
think noise should reflect what we want why would we think that because that's the fact God
what God wants is what's reflected in the mirror right so what's the problem we think we're God
so therefore whatever I think must have come to pass right God is such a son culpa what he
thinks happens so we think we're God so whatever I think that should happen but the problem is
is it doesn't you know unless you bring in the line with the person who actually is such a son
called so how he thinks is how things happen so how he thinks that's what's given in the
scriptures so you want things to work the way they actually should then think in line of Scripture
then you'll see things start to work you don't think according to scripture then it won't work and
according to scripture but scripture is not karma right it's not gun it's not yoga it's bhakti so
therefore thinking in terms of the Scriptures according to bhakti that's where you get your proper
resolving then your reflection will start to work properly right otherwise because if you do it for
fruitive purposes then it's according to your good good work you know you want everything to
work for you but do you have the Karma you know you want to be the temple president so you're
doing all the good things going around shaking hands you know kissing babies doing all the
things you should do but the point is this do you have the Karma to be a temple president on the
material platform to have that respect have that position have that facility is it your karma
materially right so if it's not you're not gonna get it so the only way you can get it is through
devotional service that you're using this increase in the service so you're a medium for that
disappointment point is is that's where it's gonna go you know it's like you know you get on you
come into Krishna consciousness wherever you are one may move up but if one moves out one
doesn't move out where one was you know it's that one goes back to where one was so my sense
that's that's the point so if you look at it use the scriptures for piety that's okay but then how pious
are you right so you have to use the skills and knowledge given by the scriptures in devotion that
will give the proper because that's what is for the Lord wants to explain the above-mentioned
system of knowledge because our journey is Krishna's confidential devotee and friend in the
beginning so why would he why why because he's he's his confidential devotee and friend why
would that be the inspiration to give this knowledge yes but what can you get from this
knowledge him right so that's the point because these are devotee that's why he's explaining it
he's not a devotee he doesn't explain this is through this you can get him right and Krishna
doesn't give himself to anybody unless they have devotion because that's that's the relationship
the relation of the common point is devotion Krishna the devotees devotion to Krishna Krishna's
devotion to the devotee no it's not something else it's not positioned power of Fame that's all
Krishna anyway so he doesn't need that he already has that yes what is this most confidential that
you give that that's that's that's the essence of the philosophy but here we're talking about further
details of that you don't say you're going to give all that okay now you've said Krishna's God you
know that were where the eternal soul where he is servant the the we're trying to develop love of
God the processes for the chanting of the holy names what's the next thing you're going to
explain but more what what further confidential knowledge they're going to give what's the net
what are you going to do now that you've explained that to this this person what's the next thing
you're going to talk about yes so that where did it get into this confidential the other is just the
basic someone Davide approach something to work with but we're talking about expanding on
this that's there but the point is this who is this krishna that you haven't explained yet just other
than he's God supreme personality of Godhead so it's understood it's all-inclusive but the
essential point is that he's God were not that he's a person and we are also right and he's the
supreme person so we're still dealing with it with that element it means it's how you get him but
here means that's the process by which you of which you will take up to to get there but that that
feelings that you'll have towards him that attracts him to you that you haven't given so that's the
point that's what's here that's why it's in here because otherwise the first two six chapters are
pointing out is is the Supreme Lord he is the super-soul is Vermont so all that were you're giving
you know the tuck valve what is position of that's that's okay so many cents so here you're
dealing more with him as a person how one would come to that platform interacting with him in
the beginning of the fourth chapter this explanation was given by the Lord and it is again
confirmed here complete knowledge can be achieved only by the devotee of the Lord in disciplic
succession directly from the Lord therefore one should be intelligent enough to know the source
of all knowledge who is the source of all causes and the only object of meditation all kinds of
yoga practice you see here how he covered all the yoga systems now those therefore one should
be intelligent enough to know the source of all knowledge right that's your Gianni yoga who is
the cause of all causes that's your karma yoga and the only object for meditation so all all three
have been then mentioned his causation is dealing with cause of cause and effect that means
there's activity its Karma that means that's the knowledge side of it that's why if you have that
knowledge that it's so much more effective otherwise if you just have knowledge how to perform
the activity that's nice but the point is is how to connect that if you can just do that for Krishna
and you're satisfied then it's done you don't have to spend much more but if you're doing that and
still not connecting it then this these knowledge of like causation and other things that then
brings out actually what's going on because you're doing the activity but what the only activity
you're doing is the operational cause is is what works you can't just do anything you have to do
specific work otherwise why do you have to be trained but if anything you do no one has to be
trained everyone come in and have own way of doing something No so this is a way of doing
something so because of that then that that's created by the that is made by the formal cause the
Lord's internal potency interacting with him so what it is you want to get done she interacts with
Krishna in that way that gets it so if you follow that but that mirrored into the material cause if
you performing that activity that is defined by the internal potency on the external potency then
you'll get the result you're looking for but it's still it's still we're only an instrument so if we have
that knowledge then karma you know becomes quite useful in Krishna consciousness if not then
one thinks one's just being practical and just doing the practical what you don't even know what
you're doing practical is practical mean ignorance those ignorance and practical are they soon on
us you know if they are great but if they're not then there's a problem here it's not practical
practical for what you got money but in the same endeavor you could have got caught
consciousness you'll get yourself liberated from material existence right you've become you
know satisfied you come peaceful so you don't have any of that you're working hard all day you
go home yeah yeah your wife she yells at the kids they kick the dog right so you know you can't
tell me that's that's the you know you gave up material like joint Krishna consciousness to simply
become engaged in material life because that's practical you know so that's a waste so that's why
these element of causation is not all that's all theory no this is real fact how it works Felisa so it's
just like you come in you push the button and the machine works that's great what happens when
you push the button the machine doesn't work then what so it's only by knowledge of how that
button connects to whatever it is to make the machine works then by knowing that then you can
fix it right so how much of the things that we just take and just touch it to Krishna and then it's
done so many things maybe but those things that are not then if you don't know the process you
can't fix it when the cause of all causes becomes known then everything knowable becomes
known and nothing remains unknown so when you know cut because everything that's here is
working on these four principles of causation it's he's the ultimate so when you see him as the
ultimate see how he is entered into everything through his potencies there's nothing else to be
known then it's a small thing a little scene you know let me sense the guy's a PhD you hand him
a box of matches he doesn't know what to do with it so oh maybe you don't know anything you
know what does it take you just hold it like this endorsed like that so that's the point there's all
these skills in the tour we'll know that's that's nothing that's like lighting the box of matches you
know some of them are you know a little easier it lights easier something you have to you know
warm it up rub it on the jeans a bit you know like that and many thousands of men one may
endeavor for liberation and of those who have achieved liberation hardly one can know Krishna
in truth right so it's not easy and sure the Prophet explains in this purport to verse three even the
great demigods are sometimes confused about Krishna moo-hyun T at Surya hi mom - vada
Anika's - nah no one knows me as I am the Lord says but if one does know him then some hot
mustard or lahbab such a great soul is very rare therefore unless one practices devotional service
to the Lord one cannot know Krishna as he is touched meant aha even though one is a great
philosopher scholar a philosopher Krishna is the last word in Vermont realization and the
devotees alone can realize him as he is because Vermont realization is the last word in Vermont
realization in other words Brahman is the first word right Paramatma is the second word
Bhagavad is the third word the last word all right so everything is Vermont but there's gradations
of Vermont's variety in Vermont so the point is is that Vermont is that you know Krishna then
you know him and everything then beyond that he is this a person that's beyond all knowledge is
here there's already taken care about the Vermont platform you've already connected then you
understand Paramatma still him then it eight makes it even more it makes it practically
applicable in your life then you know miss Bhagavad then it turns all that into devotion then
whatever you're doing here situates you there everyone's working you'll consider your endeavor
let's say for economic or social or you know emotional benefit if you're in a better situation right
a better and longer term you know more proper facility know right so now the spiritual world is
that not the best situation that you could get economically you know as far as long lasting the
best emotional interactions right so that's practical devotional service seeing everything in
relation to Krishna so that we we actually developed it that's practical anything else is definitely
short yes it's a lack of faith or a lack of knowledge because generally speaking they don't give up
on Krishna consciousness it's just they don't know how to apply it in this situation and because of
their material need they have to be involved in that situation so they don't know how to connect
it to Krishna right and it hasn't been given to them practically because generally is that what
you're doing is nonsense you have to give all that up but the point is is they need that so this this
is in other words they're confused like Arjuna is because material activity means it's not spiritual
that's that you know the rightly Scituate devotee is is he's confused with that he's thinking if
you're doing any activity it can't be spiritual not necessarily the point is this generally devotees
are quite good on understanding the directness of you know chanting the holy name you know
worshiping the deity in other words that five direct elements of devotional service generally no
one mistakes them for other than that if they do then you really have a problem but otherwise but
generally those are there that confusion comes on the indirect so that's where the Vedic is there is
indirect is given according to authority because what is the Vedic it's it's what Krishna likes to do
right sirs how Krishna himself leads his own life how he likes to interact how he likes to view
the world right that's what the Shastra defines so we take that then it makes it very easy to
engage in the material world but still the perspective is not just because we follow that that's not
an that's why you say that is being pious and following the Vedic that's not enough it's that you
have to follow in connection to Krishna remember in Krishna so the knowledge is from Krishna
the technique is from Krishna and you do that remembering Krishna now and the result is for
Krishna is that the knowledge and technique will give you a result that's for Krishna so if that's
done then it becomes perfect that's practical but without knowing it dude who conditioning they
will have to act according their nature so they will have their family and their economics and
everything else that's they just have to do that so it means it's practical for fulfilling my needs it's
not practical for Krishna consciousness but what they're doing if they're seeing with this proper
knowledge this knowledge that Krishna is given then then it is practical than the way of
devotional service so in other words there situating the cells where the engaging majority of their
time is spending indirect activities but still they could see that in connection efficient you know it
will never give the same effect or taste that direct activities will but is connected to Krishna so it
is elevating it is beneficial you know I'm saying you know you know taking care of your your
family for you know you know so many years and all that won't compare to you know a very
static kirtan you know I'm saying but at the same time is that due to conditioning you need that
family experience but connecting it to Krishna then it's elevating it brings you more to the point
you purified you'll appreciate the Cureton more but if you see it as two different things then be
comfortable in family life then you have to say say that you know the other devotees are fanatic
you know so fanatic means is over the line no but we're bringing you back to the balance we're in
the middle no they're not they're over on the side the middle is something else the middle is the
ability to see whatever you're doing in connection krishna the middle is that one well not fanatic
so we're going back the other way there's a you know complete materialists and then there's the
you know fanatic you know you know hardcore devotees and then we're in the middle of the
proper balance between you know materialism and all that you know it's like we're sitting on the
beach at the Riviera you know with our drink and our sun shades on and all that but we're you
know looking and commenting on what's going on in the beach and all that according to Krishna
conscious philosophy so that's the best of both worlds yeah it's the wherever you are that's
always the middle right because there's always so many who's you know doing less than you and
so he's doing more so you're always the middle right for instance you know it's just like China it's
the middle of Kingdom far east and they say no they're in the middle yes yeah that's that yeah
that's the point it's one of the other that's where we're saying it's not in the middle because there's
direct devotional service then there's the material activity there's no such thing as indirect
activities means which means the material activities that are connected to Krishna so one one can
see that properly and make the proper balance in your life by how much in other words don't deal
any less indirect activities and then is possible for you to do at the same time is then what you're
not going to be direct activities make sure all those activities are connected to Krishna right yes
if the indirect activities because it's all connected to Krishna you'll see that there is more teddy in
other words all activities are correctly connected to Krishna indirect though it has the force of my
own material needs my own emotions and feelings it doesn't give us much taste as as the direct
ones do but because we're driven by our own own needs it will naturally will be satisfied that
having done them but with time you see is because the basis is crucian a consciousness one gives
greater than the other that's why we're naturally gravitates in that way but seeing it properly one's
able to perform the other activities quite well means of course if the direct activities they will
give you the ability but at the same time as you have to know what you're doing you have to
have the knowledge to do it so in other words that will give you the direct activities will give you
the purity you know and the you know that devotional income can clone a Shinto see them in
that way but still you have to make the endeavor to connect them it's not going to be it's not
automatic means you see everything connection the Krishna and automatically you get the
results of Krishna consciousness you will elevate your stock as the residents in a spiritual world
they see everything that they do in connection to Krishna so if you do that here you'll qualify as
like them then yeah so that that's the idea that we're trying to in other words we're trying to live a
lifestyle and you know and mentality and activities of those in the spiritual world while doing it
here which is not difficult because this is a reflection of their it's illusion to think it's separate
from the reflection there so it's a mature world we can't do those things no but what's going on
you know that's like say I can scratch my head in the mirror I mean I can scratch my head but I
can't scratch my head in the mirror that's because you scratch your head them it happens in here
so because you're doing on the spiritual platform that happens here so there is nothing that works
without the devotional element even though it's hidden but someone's devotion to the scriptures
and following the pious activities as given in Scripture according to the Brahmins that are there
and everything like that that's the only reason that the Karma gives a result otherwise somebody
else who doesn't have faith in the Brahmins and the shop so does the same activity he won't get
the same result he'll get something it'll be something will be better than a person who doesn't
follow that not knowledge but still it's going to be very temporary so it's it's it's it's connection to
Krishna though one may not see it that makes it work because Krishna is there working here is
the ultimate cause only reason anything's working is because Krishna is in it so you fought work
would deal with it according to Krishna its direction you'll get the result you don't you won't the
point is what's getting the result now what do you do with it you want it to be a bind you in the
material world you know you you perform the activity according to Krishna's direction and then
gotten the result now if you keep the result for yourself you bind yourself in the material world
you don't keep the result for yourself you don't bind yourself in the material world you're going
to have to do the same activity so that's your questions do do you what result you want to get
from your activity they say no but I worked hard I wanted for myself that's like okay the leaves
are there and they're trying to absorb the water from themselves no but it won't work like that
that's why it said you should feed the root then we go so you see the cause of all causes have the
results for him then you'll get the benefit of it even though it's not yours you still get the benefit
right you're going to the temple program are you going to the program yeah the tough program in
the temple car you're driving your own car point is you get there right but are you entangled in
the temple car yes or no no your own car you got to take care of it some steals that they stole
your car right you got to change the tire you got to put the oil you know put the petrol you know
you know and and whatever the thing is of that is your prestige so your entangled because it's
yours but it's krishna's another thing because then putting petrovin it's your car so putting petrol
in it is a mundane activity changing the types of the mundane actives krishna's car putting petrol
in it's not Monday change the tight it's not this is useful [Music] yes when they're part of bhakti
then then but not just seeing you have to act within that it has to be how you deal and it's about
but seems the first step if you want to stretch it I think but the the the light is also an energy but
why fire and why taking heat the light from fire why not do something else example it just means
you know so say it again yeah but I'm just saying that's there but the Shastra also says you know
green burden the green tree it also says just like the river flowing into the ocean it also says just
like you know the moon you know lights up the sky while the stars one moon lights up the sky
then thousands of starts while you're taking that example than trying to get brahmana no the
point is is heating lighter energies no point is to see out of context you're pulling in these things
and trying to do something with it I'm saying in other words the question is to beyond what we're
dealing with here you know heat and light are energies of fire so where this fire this heat lights a
fire would be be the the male element and that heat light would be the feminine right within
those two then you could say you know heats one and lights the other you know so so then you're
going to get within that light works as waves which is particles so when we may want to be
female so you can find going there saying why why this example why you're trying to create
light as the Brahman and fires yes light is equality of father but he does also quality of fire you
know saying you're trying to apply this on the wrong level what what what are you looking for in
fire yes but did I stop at the pillar yeah but did I mention anything about this they said the
strength so the point is is you're looking for heat and light from fire that's Krishna right and then
the the form is that a fire fire gives that because you can also get light from other aspect the
moon gives light you know I'm saying but it doesn't give good give heat you know the saying is
any sense you know the the yes smoke gives heat but there's no no light you know I'm saying so
it's what you're looking for that's the quality this krishna and then the internal potency takes the
forms so that's why even within that is that that heat and light is the quality there but then the
form is fired as we were looking at here but if you take it fires what you're looking for but what
you're looking for the essential is you can light you don't say so we can say that comes from
there but the point is is is pointless is when when the internal potency performs an activity what's
it for why why does the internal potency does do an activity for krishna i invite by assisting in
that what happens where these increases yes so we obtain krishna through assisting the internal
pugsy so krishna's heat and light then buy it by dealing with the fire properly we will get that
right so we as assistants to the fire deal with the fire to create the fire nicely that generates an
even light so he attained heat and light through dealing at the fire yes and so even though you
can say heating light of the energies of the fire was on what level they are of at the same time as
they are the Lord these his potencies expand from him but it's through his policies he obtained
yes and so you have to know which way to look at it that's the important thing is the perspective
so I'm saying is you're taking this you know but it would caught you you caught that example
because of light and light in Vermont because that's what the in person was talking about so
that's why it's easy that's why I say why that one why not another example because that will be
one that would be used by the big Yanni's you know so the Hindu the Hindu you know idea of
realization will come from there so that's why that example not something else Westerners will
take something more in connecting with result according their conditioning they're going to take
them to their favorite examples joshula Prabhupada keep some of a table active in the key turn it
I go you English (auto-generated)
