PURPORT
King Pratäparudra recited this verse to Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu during Lord Jagannätha's Ratha-yäträ festival. While the Lord was resting in a
garden, King Pratäparudra humbly entered and began massaging His legs and lotus feet. Then the King recited the Thirty-first Chapter of the
Tenth Canto of the Çrémad-Bhägavatam, the songs of the gopés. The Caitanya-caritämåta relates that when Lord Caitanya heard this verse,
beginning tava kathämåtam, He immediately arose in ecstatic love and embraced King Pratäparudra.

to the Lord's service has no need to serve such persons separately.

sarva-śāstre kahe krishna-bhaktira vyākhyāna
jñāna, yoga, tapo-dharma nāhi māne āna

SYNONYMS
sarva-śāstre — in all revealed scriptures; kahe — says; krishna-bhaktira — of
devotional service to Lord Krishna; vyākhyāna — explanation; jñāna — philosophical
speculation; yoga — mystic hatha-yoga; tapas — austerities; dharma— religious
procedures; nāhi — does not; māne — accept; āna — other.

TRANSLATION

In all the revealed scriptures of Vedic culture, devotional service to Lord Krishna is
explained throughout. Therefore devotees of Lord Krishna do not recognize the
processes of philosophical speculation, mystic yoga, unnecessary austerity and so-
called religious rituals. They do not accept any process but devotional service.

PURPORT

Our Krishna consciousness movement follows this principle. We do not recognize any
method for spiritual realization other than Krishna consciousness, devotional service.
Sometimes we are criticized by groups following jñāna, yoga, tapas or dharma, but
fortunately we are unable to make any compromises with them. We simply stand on
the platform of devotional service and preach the same principles all over the world.

BG 3.39
ävåtaà jïänam etena
jïänino nitya-vairiëä
the wise living entity's pure consciousness becomes covered by his eternal enemy
käma-rüpeëa kaunteya
In the form of lust, o son of kunti
duñpüreëänalena ca
Never satisfied and burns like fire
SYNONYMS
ävåtam—covered; jïänam—pure consciousness; etena—by this; jïäninaù—of the knower; nitya-
vairiëä—by the eternal enemy; käma-rüpeëa—in the form of lust; kaunteya—O son of Kunté;
duñpüreëa—never to be satisfied; analena—by the fire; ca—also.
TRANSLATION
 Thus the wise living entity's pure consciousness becomes covered by his eternal enemy in the
form of lust, which is never satisfied and which burns like fire.
PURPORT
It is said in the Manu-småti that lust cannot be satisfied by any amount of sense enjoyment, just
as fire is never extinguished by a constant supply of fuel. In the material world, the center of all
activities is sex, and thus this material world is called maithunya-ägära, or the shackles of sex
life. In the ordinary prison house, criminals are kept within bars; similarly, the criminals who
are disobedient to the laws of the Lord are shackled by sex life. Advancement of material
civilization on the basis of sense gratification means increasing the duration of the material
existence of a living entity. Therefore, this lust is the symbol of ignorance by which the living
entity is kept within the material world. While one enjoys sense gratification, it may be that
there is some feeling of happiness, but actually that so-called feeling of happiness is the
ultimate enemy of the sense enjoyer. [As-They-Surrender-Unto-Me ]

TRANSLATION
But ignorant and faithless persons who doubt the revealed scriptures do not attain God
consciousness; they fall down. For the doubting soul there is happiness neither in this world nor
in the next.
/// HOW TO BE HAPPY IN THIS MATERIAL WORLD///
PURPORT
Out of many standard and authoritative revealed scriptures, the Bhagavad-gétä is the best.
Persons who are almost like animals have no faith in, or knowledge of, the standard revealed
scriptures; and some, even though they have knowledge of, or can cite passages from, the
revealed scriptures, have actually no faith in these words. And even though others may have
faith in scriptures like Bhagavad-gétä, they do not believe in or worship the Personality of
Godhead, Çré Kåñëa. Such persons cannot have any standing in Kåñëa consciousness. They fall
down. Out of all the above-mentioned persons, those who have no faith and are always doubtful
make no progress at all. Men without faith in God and His revealed word find no good in this
world, nor in the next. For them there is no happiness whatsoever. One should therefore follow
the principles of revealed scriptures with faith and thereby be raised to the platform of
knowledge. Only this knowledge will help one become promoted to the transcendental platform
of spiritual understanding. In other words, doubtful persons have no status whatsoever in
spiritual emancipation. One should therefore follow in the footsteps of great äcäryas who are in
the disciplic succession and thereby attain success. [As-They-Surrender-Unto-Me ] [VTE]

My dear Lord, one who earnestly waits (su-samékñamäëo) for You to bestow Your causeless
mercy upon him (anukampäm), all the while patiently suffering the reactions of his past
misdeeds(bhuïjäna evätma-kåtaà vipäkam) and offering You respectful obeisances with his
heart, words and body (håd-väg-vapurbhir vidadhan namas te), is surely eligible for liberation,
for it has become his rightful claim (jéveta yo mukti-pade sa däya-bhäk)
 
Why does he wait for, what it is his motivation?
a. He has complete faith on the Lord that he is going to give me protection.
b. He is no other shelter.
