00:00:48,061 --> 00:00:51,259

janma karma ca viśvātmann ajasyākartur
ātmanaḥ tiryaṅ-nṝṣiṣu yādaḥsu tad
atyanta-viḍambanam

2
00:00:52,031 --> 00:00:57,594
“Of course it is bewildering, O
Soul of the Universe, that You
work, though You are inactive,
"Certo che è stupefacente, o anima dell'universo, che lavori, anche se sei
inattivo,

3
00:00:58,072 --> 00:01:01,508
and that You take birth, though You
are the vital force and the unborn.
e che tu nasci, sebbene tu sia la forza vitale e il non nato.

4
00:01:02,176 --> 00:01:08,513
You Yourself descend amongst
animals, men, sages, and aquatics.
Verily this is bewildering.”
Tu stesso scendi tra animali, uomini, saggi ed esseri aquatici. Questo è davvero
stupefacente.

5
00:01:15,822 --> 00:01:26,096
So Kṛṣṇa is addressed here as Viśvātman,
the vital force of the universe.
Quindi Kṛṣṇa qui è considerato come Viśvātman, la forza vitale dell'universo.

6
00:01:28,435 --> 00:01:44,545
Just like in my body, in your body,
that there is a vital force. The vital
force is the ātmā, the living being,
Proprio come nel mio corpo, nel tuo corpo, c'è una forza vitale. La forza vitale è
l'atma, l'essere vivente,

7
00:01:44,852 --> 00:01:55,251
living entity or soul. So because
the vital force, the soul is
there, the whole body is working.
l'entità vivente o anima. Perciò a causa della forza vitale, dell'anima che c'è,
tutto il corpo sta funzionando.

8
00:02:01,001 --> 00:02:08,066
So similarly there is the supreme vital
force. Supreme vital force is Kṛṣṇa
Così allo stesso modo c'è la forza vitale suprema. La forza vitale suprema è Kṛṣṇa

9
00:02:09,342 --> 00:02:20,219
or the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Therefore where is the question
of His taking birth,
o la suprema personalità di Dio. Dov'è quindi la domanda

10
00:02:20,888 --> 00:02:30,126
appearance and disappearance?
In the Bhagavad-gītā it is
said: janma karma ca me divyaṁ.

11
00:02:31,865 --> 00:02:49,648
Divyaṁ means it is spiritual. Ajo ’pi
sann avyayātmā. Aja means unborn.
Avyayātmā, without any destruction.

12
00:02:51,985 --> 00:03:02,259
So Kṛṣṇa is existing as in the beginning of
this stotra, Kuntīdevī addressed Kṛṣṇa that:

13
00:03:02,528 --> 00:03:13,531
“You are within, You are without,
still invisible.” Kṛṣṇa is within,
without. That we have explained.

14
00:03:15,442 --> 00:03:23,110
Īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe ’rjuna
tiṣṭhati. Sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭaḥ.

15
00:03:25,985 --> 00:03:32,390
Kṛṣṇa is situated in everyone’s heart.
Therefore He is within everything.

16
00:03:34,228 --> 00:03:43,967
Aṇḍāntara-stha-paramāṇu-cayāntara-stham. He,
He is within the atom even. And without also.

17
00:03:45,305 --> 00:03:55,306
Viśvarūpa, as Kṛṣṇa showed, the
Viśvarūpa, external feature. This
gigantic cosmic manifestation.

18
00:03:56,516 --> 00:04:01,920
That is Kṛṣṇa’s external body. These
are described in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.

19
00:04:06,627 --> 00:04:10,996
The, the hills, the mountains,
they are described as the bones.

20
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:22,069
Just like we have got in our body some part
raised by the bones, similarly these big, big

21
00:04:22,408 --> 00:04:27,243
mountains and hills, they have
been described as the bones.

22
00:04:31,117 --> 00:04:40,685
And the big, big oceans they have been described
as different holes in the body, down and up.

23
00:04:42,696 --> 00:04:48,498
Similarly the Brahmaloka
is the skull, upper skull.

24
00:04:51,904 --> 00:04:59,538
So one who cannot see God, they have
been advised to see God in so many ways.

25
00:05:02,048 --> 00:05:11,116
These are the instruction in
the Vedic literature. Because
you can simply conceive of God,

26
00:05:11,891 --> 00:05:18,798
the great… The greatness… You
also do not know how great He is.

27
00:05:20,334 --> 00:05:30,209
So in your conception of greatness…
Just like the very high mountains,
the sky, the big, big planet.

28
00:05:31,711 --> 00:05:36,307
So the description is there. You can think
of. That is also Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

29
00:05:37,850 --> 00:05:43,483
If you think that: “This mountain is the bone
of Kṛṣṇa,” that is also Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

30
00:05:44,391 --> 00:05:54,494
Actually that is so. If you think that
big Pacific Ocean is the navel of Kṛṣṇa.

31
00:05:58,305 --> 00:06:03,971
These big, big trees, plants, they
are hairs in the body of Kṛṣṇa.

32
00:06:07,047 --> 00:06:19,255
Then the head, the skull of Kṛṣṇa,
is the Brahmaloka. The sole is the
Pātālaloka. Similarly…

33
00:06:21,862 --> 00:06:28,995
This is mahato mahīyān. When you think of
Kṛṣṇa as the greater than the greatest,

34
00:06:29,536 --> 00:06:38,999
you can think like this. And if you think
Kṛṣṇa is both, smaller than the smallest.

35
00:06:38,278 --> 00:06:48,176
That is also greatness. That is also
greatness. Kṛṣṇa can manufacture this gigantic

36
00:06:48,922 --> 00:06:59,298
cosmic manifestation and He can manufacture
also a small insect, smaller than the point.

37
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,470
You have seen sometimes in the book
you’ll find one insect is running.

38
00:07:06,906 --> 00:07:15,314
The shape is smaller than the full
stop. This is Kṛṣṇa’s craftsmanship.

39
00:07:15,716 --> 00:07:26,115
Aṇor aṇīyān mahato mahīyān. He can
create bigger than the biggest and
the smaller than the smallest.

40
00:07:26,994 --> 00:07:35,299
Now human being, according to their conception,
they have manufactured the 747 airplane,

41
00:07:36,136 --> 00:07:44,600
supposed to be very big. All right.
According to your consciousness,

42
00:07:44,944 --> 00:07:54,546
you have produced something big. But can you
produce a small airplane like insect flying?
43
00:07:57,958 --> 00:08:09,301
That is not possible. Therefore greatness means
that who can become greater than the greatest

44
00:08:09,802 --> 00:08:18,733
and smaller than the smallest. That is
greatness. If you can act one-sided…
That is also not perfectly.

45
00:08:19,211 --> 00:08:23,706
Supposing you can manufacture
still more bigger.

46
00:08:25,252 --> 00:08:31,316
I don’t think that the modern age
they have manufactured the biggest.

47
00:08:31,524 --> 00:08:39,021
We get information from Bhāgavatam.
Kardama Muni, the father of Kapiladeva,

48
00:08:41,067 --> 00:08:55,210
he manufactured a plane, a big city.
A big city, with lakes, with gardens,
with big, big houses, street.

49
00:08:55,414 --> 00:08:58,815
And the whole city was flying
all over the universe.

50
00:08:59,019 --> 00:09:04,355
And Kardama Muni showed to his wife
all the planets, all the planets.

51
00:09:04,691 --> 00:09:14,191
He was a big yogi, and his wife,
Devahūti, was Vaivasvata Manu’s daughter,

52
00:09:14,900 --> 00:09:25,799
very big king’s daughter. So Kardama
Muni wanted to marry, desired.

53
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:35,417
So immediately Vaivasvata Manu… His
daughter, Devahūti, she also said:

54
00:09:36,722 --> 00:09:43,491
“My dear father, I want to marry that
sage.” So he brought the daughter:

55
00:09:44,663 --> 00:09:49,293
“Sir, here is my daughter.
You accept her as your wife.”

56
00:09:51,504 --> 00:10:01,140
So she was king’s daughter, very opulent,
but coming to her husband, she had
to serve so much

57
00:10:02,749 --> 00:10:07,447
that she became lean and thin, not
sufficient food and working day and night.

58
00:10:09,022 --> 00:10:15,359
So Kardama Muni became little compassionate
that: “This woman has come to me.

59
00:10:16,028 --> 00:10:22,331
She is king’s daughter, and in my
protection she is not getting any comfort.

60
00:10:24,370 --> 00:10:32,004
So I shall give her some comfort.” He
asked wife: “How you’ll be comfortable?”

61
00:10:35,182 --> 00:10:44,420
So woman’s nature is a good house, good food,
good dress and good children and good husband.

62
00:10:45,225 --> 00:10:55,759
This is woman’s ambition. So he proved
himself that the best husband she has got.

63
00:10:57,203 --> 00:11:06,043
So he first of all gave her all opulences,
big, big house, maidservants, opulence.

64
00:11:06,546 --> 00:11:17,616
And then this airplane was manufactured
by him, yogic process. Kardama Muni,

65
00:11:18,325 --> 00:11:24,696
he was a human being. If he could perform
such wonderful thing by yogic process…
66
00:11:26,066 --> 00:11:35,634
And Kṛṣṇa is the yogeśvara, the master
of the all yogic mystic power. Kṛṣṇa.

67
00:11:35,808 --> 00:11:46,309
Kṛṣṇa is addressed in the Bhagavad-gītā as
Yogeśvara. A little mystic power, when we get,

68
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:55,889
we become so big, important man. And now
He’s the master of all yogic mystic power.

69
00:11:56,763 --> 00:12:06,434
Yatra yogeśvaro hariḥ. In the Bhagavad-gītā it
is said that wherever Yogeśvara-Hari, Kṛṣṇa,

70
00:12:06,773 --> 00:12:12,769
the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the
master of all mystic power, is there,

71
00:12:14,548 --> 00:12:22,682
and where there is Dhanurdhara Arjuna, Pārtha,
so everything is there. Everything is there.

72
00:12:24,990 --> 00:12:36,869
So we should remember this. That if you can
keep yourself always in company with Kṛṣṇa,

73
00:12:39,172 --> 00:12:47,910
then all perfection is there. Yatra
yogeśvaro hariḥ. All perfection is there.

74
00:12:49,115 --> 00:12:58,080
And Kṛṣṇa has agreed especially in this
age. Nāma-rūpe kali-kāle kṛṣṇa-avatāra,

75
00:12:58,692 --> 00:13:09,693
Kṛṣṇa has incarnated in this age as the holy
name. Therefore Caitanya Mahāprabhu says that:

76
00:13:13,405 --> 00:13:25,375
“My dear Lord, You are so kind that
You are giving Me Your association
by, in the form of Your holy name.”

77
00:13:26,620 --> 00:13:33,719
Nāmnām akāri bahudhā nija-sarva-śaktis
tatrārpitā niyamitaḥ smaraṇe na kālaḥ.

78
00:13:36,196 --> 00:13:44,432
“And this holy name can be chanted in any
situation. There is no hard and fast rule.”

79
00:13:46,306 --> 00:13:49,240
You can chant Hare Kṛṣṇa anywhere.

80
00:13:50,610 --> 00:13:55,104
Just like these children. They also chant,
they also dance. It is not at all difficult.

81
00:13:56,883 --> 00:14:05,689
While walking, just like our students,
they take the beads. They’re walking
on the sea beach, still chanting.

82
00:14:06,458 --> 00:14:16,390
Where is the loss? But the gain is so great,
that we are associating with Kṛṣṇa personally.

83
00:14:18,738 --> 00:14:23,573
The gain is so much. If you
feel very much proud…

84
00:14:24,811 --> 00:14:31,046
If you are associating personally with
President Nixon, how much proud you feel?

85
00:14:31,817 --> 00:14:33,615
“Oh, I am with President Nixon.”

86
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,352
So will you not feel very much proud if
you are associating the supreme Nixon?

87
00:14:43,263 --> 00:14:45,458
Who can create millions of Nixons?

88
00:14:49,168 --> 00:14:53,663
So this is your opportunity.
Therefore Caitanya Mahāprabhu says:

89
00:14:55,207 --> 00:14:58,267
etādṛśī tava kṛpā bhagavān mamāpi.
90
00:14:59,479 --> 00:15:10,822
“My dear Lord, You are so kind upon Me that You
are giving Your association always, constantly.

91
00:15:11,124 --> 00:15:19,031
You are prepared. You are giving
Durdaivam īdṛśam ihājani nānurāgaḥ.
But I am so unfortunate.

92
00:15:19,999 --> 00:15:27,461
I am not taking advantage of
it.” Durdaiva. Misfortune.

93
00:15:30,844 --> 00:15:36,248
Our, this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is
simply requesting people: “Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa.”

94
00:15:37,616 --> 00:15:45,456
There was a caricature-picture in some paper.
Perhaps you remember. From Montreal or here,

95
00:15:46,091 --> 00:15:53,658
I don’t remember. One old lady and
her husband, sitting, face to face.

96
00:15:55,567 --> 00:16:01,665
The lady is requesting the husband: “Chant,
chant, chant.” And the husband is answering:

97
00:16:02,008 --> 00:16:13,783
“Can’t, can’t, can’t.” So this is
going on. We are requesting everyone:

98
00:16:14,254 --> 00:16:23,389
“Please chant, chant, chant.” And
they are replying: “Can’t,
can’t.” This is their misfortune.

99
00:16:27,466 --> 00:16:28,831
This is their misfortune.

100
00:16:30,702 --> 00:16:37,232
So still it is our duty to make all these
misfortunate, unfortunate creatures fortunate.

101
00:16:37,976 --> 00:16:44,677
That is our mission. We therefore
go in the street and chant.

102
00:16:45,384 --> 00:16:49,582
Although they say: “Can’t,” we go
on chanting. That is our business.

103
00:16:51,490 --> 00:16:55,654
And, somehow or other, we push
on some literature in his hand.

104
00:16:56,629 --> 00:17:04,900
He is becoming fortunate. He would
have squandered his hard-earned
money in so many nāsty,

105
00:17:05,270 --> 00:17:10,936
sinful ways, and if he purchases one
book, never mind what is the price,

106
00:17:11,644 --> 00:17:19,311
his money is properly utilized. The
beginning of Kṛṣṇa consciousness is there.

107
00:17:20,220 --> 00:17:28,025
Because he is giving some money, hard-earned
money, for this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement,

108
00:17:28,595 --> 00:17:36,126
he is getting some spiritual profit. He’s not
losing. He’s getting some spiritual profit.

109
00:17:37,502 --> 00:17:46,673
Therefore our business is, somehow
or other, bring everyone in this
Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement.

110
00:17:47,413 --> 00:17:49,039
He will be profited.

111
00:17:49,949 --> 00:18:00,518
So this business is going on not only in the
human society. Kṛṣṇa’s plan is so great that,

112
00:18:01,794 --> 00:18:09,860
that Kṛṣṇa appeared as human
being or as Lord Kṛṣṇa,

113
00:18:11,570 --> 00:18:14,869
not everyone knew that He is the
Supreme Personality of Godhead.

114
00:18:15,642 --> 00:18:21,581
He was dealing just like ordinary human
being. Not ordinary. When there was need,

115
00:18:22,281 --> 00:18:25,079
He proved Himself the Supreme
Personality of Godhead.

116
00:18:26,085 --> 00:18:30,681
But generally He was known
as ordinary human being.

117
00:18:33,492 --> 00:18:46,133
Therefore Śukadeva Gosvāmī is
describing Kṛṣṇa in a description when
He was playing with the cowherd boys.

118
00:18:47,173 --> 00:18:54,045
Kṛṣṇa. So Śukadeva Gosvāmī is
pointing out who is this cowherd boy?

119
00:18:56,449 --> 00:19:05,356
He said: itthaṁ brahma-sukhānubhūtyā, satāṁ.

120
00:19:05,924 --> 00:19:12,228
The impersonalists, they are
meditating upon the impersonal Brahman

121
00:19:14,599 --> 00:19:16,829
and feeling some transcendental bliss.

122
00:19:17,936 --> 00:19:25,968
And Śukadeva Gosvāmī says the source of
that transcendental bliss is here, Kṛṣṇa.

123
00:19:28,047 --> 00:19:32,107
Ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavaḥ. Kṛṣṇa
is the source of everything.

124
00:19:33,086 --> 00:19:38,149
Therefore the transcendental bliss which
the impersonalists try to experience

125
00:19:38,758 --> 00:19:45,254
by meditating upon impersonal
Brahman, Śukadeva Gosvāmī says:

126
00:19:46,098 --> 00:19:48,862
itthaṁ satāṁ brahma-sukhānubhūtyā.

127
00:19:50,702 --> 00:19:56,903
Brahma-sukham, the transcendental
bliss of realization of Brahman.

128
00:19:58,577 --> 00:20:00,841
Dāsyaṁ gatānāṁ para-daivatena.

129
00:20:02,414 --> 00:20:10,413
Here is the person who is the source
of brahma-sukha and dāsyaṁ
gatānāṁ para-daivatena.

130
00:20:11,156 --> 00:20:21,031
Dāsyaṁ gatānāṁ means devotees. A devotee is
always prepared to render service to the Lord.

131
00:20:22,602 --> 00:20:28,700
Dāsyaṁ gatānāṁ para-daivatena.
Supreme Personality of Godhead.

132
00:20:29,008 --> 00:20:34,309
Here is the source of brahma-sukha, here
is the original Personality of Godhead

133
00:20:37,349 --> 00:20:44,778
And māyāśritānāṁ nara-dārakeṇa. And those
who are under the spell of illusory energy,

134
00:20:45,657 --> 00:20:47,852
for them He is ordinary boy.

135
00:20:51,730 --> 00:20:58,260
So He is, according to the
conception, ye yathā mām prapadyante.

136
00:20:59,105 --> 00:21:07,342
If Kṛṣṇa is taken as ordinary
boy, human being, Kṛṣṇa will deal
with him as ordinary human being.

137
00:21:08,580 --> 00:21:14,746
If Kṛṣṇa is accepted as the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, the devotee will enjoy

138
00:21:16,588 --> 00:21:19,580
the association of the Supreme
Personality of Godhead.

139
00:21:20,526 --> 00:21:28,057
And if the impersonalists are very much
fond of Brahmajyoti, He’s the source.

140
00:21:30,103 --> 00:21:35,234
So therefore He’s everything. Brahmeti,
paramātmeti, bhagavān iti śabdyate.

141
00:21:36,741 --> 00:21:47,346
So with such exalted Personality of
Godhead, these boys are playing. How, why,

142
00:21:47,886 --> 00:21:54,223
how they have been so much fortunate, to play
with the Supreme Personality of Godhead?

143
00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:05,192
itthaṁ satāṁ brahma-sukhānubhūtyā
dāsyaṁ gatānāṁ para-daivatena
māyāśritānāṁ nara-dārakeṇa

144
00:22:05,471 --> 00:22:08,565
sākaṁ vijahruḥ kṛta-puṇya-puñjāḥ

145
00:22:10,076 --> 00:22:16,105
These boys, cowherd boys, now who are playing
with Kṛṣṇa, they’re also not ordinary.

146
00:22:17,549 --> 00:22:25,581
They have got now the highest perfection,
that they have been able to play with

147
00:22:25,892 --> 00:22:29,827
the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
How they have achieved this position?

148
00:22:30,596 --> 00:22:36,432
Kṛta-puṇya-puñjāḥ. Many,
many lives pious activities.
149
00:22:39,105 --> 00:22:45,476
Because these boys for many, many
lives underwent austerities, penances

150
00:22:46,846 --> 00:22:53,375
to achieve the highest perfection of
life. Now they have got the opportunity…

151
00:22:53,752 --> 00:22:58,086
playing with Kṛṣṇa personally on equal level.

152
00:22:59,625 --> 00:23:05,894
They do not know that Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme
Personality of Godhead. That is vṛndāvana-līlā.

153
00:23:08,701 --> 00:23:16,005
The cowherd boys, they simply love
Kṛṣṇa. Their love is unending.

154
00:23:16,642 --> 00:23:21,773
Everyone in Vṛndāvana. Just like
Yaśodā-mātā or Nanda Mahārāja.

155
00:23:22,347 --> 00:23:29,845
They are in paternal affection with Kṛṣṇa.
So the father and mother love Kṛṣṇa,

156
00:23:30,690 --> 00:23:37,027
the friends love Kṛṣṇa, the girl friends,
they love Kṛṣṇa, the trees love Kṛṣṇa,

157
00:23:37,563 --> 00:23:45,834
the water love Kṛṣṇa, the flower, the cows, the
calves, everyone loves Kṛṣṇa. That is Vṛndāvana.

158
00:23:50,041 --> 00:23:57,812
So if we simply learn how to love Kṛṣṇa, then we
can create immediately this world as Vṛndāvana.

159
00:24:00,987 --> 00:24:06,856
This is the only central point. How
to love Kṛṣṇa. Prema pum-artho mahān.

160
00:24:08,661 --> 00:24:16,033
Therefore Caitanya Mahāprabhu said
that the dharma-artha-kāma-mokṣa.
161
00:24:17,435 --> 00:24:22,134
People are after these four
things. Dharma-artha-kāma-mokṣa.

162
00:24:23,909 --> 00:24:28,539
Caitanya Mahāprabhu disregarded this.
“This is not achievement of life.”

163
00:24:29,815 --> 00:24:39,712
Of course, a human being… Human
life does not begin unless there
is conception of religion, dharma.

164
00:24:43,162 --> 00:24:48,600
But at the present moment, in the
Kali-yuga, dharma is practically nil.

165
00:24:49,969 --> 00:24:59,741
So according to Vedic calculation,
the present human civilization,
they are not even human being.

166
00:25:01,747 --> 00:25:09,017
Because there is no dharma. There is no
religion. No morality. No pious activities.

167
00:25:10,388 --> 00:25:14,916
Do not care. Everyone can
do anything without caring.

168
00:25:17,195 --> 00:25:21,928
Formerly there was morality,
immorality, irreligious, religious.

169
00:25:22,734 --> 00:25:29,071
But with the progress of Kali-yuga,
everything is being vanquished.

170
00:25:30,276 --> 00:25:41,846
It is stated in the Kali-yuga about eighty
per cent people, they are sinful, all sinful.

171
00:25:42,954 --> 00:25:50,156
And we can practically see. The sinful
list we have given, the four principles,

172
00:25:51,364 --> 00:26:02,901
illicit sex life, intoxication,
meat-eating and gambling. These are
the four pillars of sinful life.

173
00:26:05,076 --> 00:26:09,275
Therefore we request our students
first of all break these four pillars.

174
00:26:11,150 --> 00:26:13,948
So the roof of sinful life will collapse.

175
00:26:15,621 --> 00:26:22,459
Then chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, you remain fixed up
in transcendental position. Simple method.

176
00:26:24,829 --> 00:26:32,031
Because one cannot realize God if his
life is sinful. That is not possible.

177
00:26:34,874 --> 00:26:43,076
Therefore Kṛṣṇa says: yeṣāṁ anta-gataṁ
pāpaṁ. Anta-gataṁ means finished.

178
00:26:43,848 --> 00:26:53,120
One who has finished sinful life. Yeṣāṁ
anta-gataṁ pāpaṁ janānāṁ puṇya-karmaṇām.

179
00:26:55,326 --> 00:26:59,820
Who can finish sinful life? Who
are engaged in pious activities.

180
00:27:00,833 --> 00:27:03,700
Because one must have activities, engagement.

181
00:27:05,037 --> 00:27:12,034
So if one is engaged in pious activities,
naturally his sinful activities will vanish.

182
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:23,354
One side, voluntarily he should try
to break the pillars of sinful life.

183
00:27:24,022 --> 00:27:27,924
Another side, he must engage
himself in pious life.

184
00:27:29,094 --> 00:27:37,365
Simply theoretically one cannot, because
everyone must have some engagement.

185
00:27:37,903 --> 00:27:43,204
If he has no pious engagement, then
simply theoretically he will not be able.

186
00:27:45,778 --> 00:27:55,585
For example, practical, your government
is spending millions of dollars for
stopping this intoxication.

187
00:27:56,489 --> 00:28:01,085
Everyone knows. But the government has failed.

188
00:28:03,261 --> 00:28:13,535
How simply by law or by lecturing you can
make them without LSD or intoxication?

189
00:28:14,507 --> 00:28:21,936
That is not possible. You must give them good
engagement. Then it will be automatically…

190
00:28:22,882 --> 00:28:30,254
And practically you see that our students who
come here we instruct: “No intoxication.”

191
00:28:31,190 --> 00:28:39,188
Immediately given up. And the
government has failed. This is
practical. Param dṛṣṭvā nivartate.

192
00:28:40,199 --> 00:28:45,262
If you don’t give somebody good engagement,
you cannot stop his bad engagements.

193
00:28:46,505 --> 00:28:58,110
That is not possible. Therefore we are
giving two sides good engagements,

194
00:28:58,550 --> 00:29:03,954
at the same time prohibition. We
simply don’t say that: “No illicit
sex, no intoxication, no, no…”

195
00:29:04,355 --> 00:29:08,258
Simply negative is no meaning.
There must be something positive.
196
00:29:10,328 --> 00:29:15,197
Because everyone wants engagement. That
is because we are living entities.

197
00:29:15,467 --> 00:29:17,162
We are not dead stone.

198
00:29:19,238 --> 00:29:25,199
The other philosophers, they are trying
to become dead stones by meditation.

199
00:29:25,411 --> 00:29:31,873
“Let me think of void, impersonalism.” The,
artificially how you can make it void?

200
00:29:32,917 --> 00:29:39,117
Your heart, your mind is full of
activities. So these are artificial things.

201
00:29:39,657 --> 00:29:45,323
This will not help the human society. The
so-called yoga, so-called meditation,

202
00:29:46,030 --> 00:29:51,900
they are all rascaldom. Because there is
no engagement. Here there is engagement.

203
00:29:53,137 --> 00:30:02,876
Here everyone is engaged to rise early in the
morning for offering ārātrika to the Deities.

204
00:30:03,848 --> 00:30:10,652
They are preparing nice food.
They are decorating, making
garlands, so many engagements.

205
00:30:12,023 --> 00:30:16,357
They are going for saṅkīrtana party,
they are canvassing for selling books.

206
00:30:16,761 --> 00:30:21,994
Twenty-four hours engagement. Therefore
they’re able to give up this sinful life.

207
00:30:25,336 --> 00:30:26,667
Param dṛṣṭvā nivartate.
208
00:30:29,807 --> 00:30:35,712
Just like… The, everything is described in
the Bhagavad-gītā. Just like in hospital.

209
00:30:36,815 --> 00:30:43,687
In hospital there are many patients, they
are not eating anything on the Ekādaśī day.

210
00:30:45,657 --> 00:30:54,224
Does it mean that is observing
Ekādaśī? He is simply hankering after,

211
00:30:54,767 --> 00:30:57,668
“When I shall eat, when I
shall eat, when I shall eat?.”

212
00:30:59,337 --> 00:31:03,297
But these students, they
voluntarily don’t eat anything.

213
00:31:05,144 --> 00:31:10,411
We, we don’t say that you don’t eat anything.
Some fruits, some flowers. That’s all.

214
00:31:12,317 --> 00:31:21,919
So param dṛṣṭvā nivartate. Just like a child.
He has got in his hand something he’s eating,

215
00:31:22,394 --> 00:31:29,561
and if you give him better thing, he
will throw away the inferior thing
and will take that better thing.

216
00:31:31,470 --> 00:31:39,036
So here is Kṛṣṇa consciousness, this better
engagement, better life, better philosophy,

217
00:31:40,112 --> 00:31:43,081
better consciousness, everything better.

218
00:31:44,982 --> 00:31:53,152
Therefore they can give up the
sinful activities of life and that
will promote to Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

219
00:31:54,026 --> 00:32:01,797
So these activities are going on not only in
the human society. The animal society also.

220
00:32:03,868 --> 00:32:10,365
Animal society, aquatic, because everyone
is Kṛṣṇa’s part and parcel, sons.

221
00:32:11,175 --> 00:32:18,377
So they are rotting in this material world. So
Kṛṣṇa has a plan, a big plan to deliver them.

222
00:32:19,050 --> 00:32:24,147
Personally He comes. Sometimes He
sends His very confidential devotee.

223
00:32:25,057 --> 00:32:31,723
Sometimes He comes Himself. Sometimes He
leaves instructions like Bhagavad-gītā.
