The following is a lecture given by His Holiness Jayapatākā Swami Mahārāja on January 25, 1982 – in Bangalore, India. The lecture begins with a reading from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 5.11.11.

Let’s end the text. 111105 the supreme personality of Godhead is ultimate controller of everything. Although the material elements interact with each other and thus the interactions create different dimensions of existence, actually those interactions are happening under the direction of Kṛṣṇa. The material scientists also claim that due to so many interactions the material world has come about by some accidental means. But this verse decries such a speculation by saying even if there are erroneous interactions, those interactions do not happen by chance. But the interactions of any sort in the material world which are creating more complex systems, are the interactions which are directed by the will of Kṛṣṇa to become from 100 to thousands, from thousands to millions of times more complex. That it’s not happening by chance, but it’s happening by the will of Kṛṣṇa.

So it’s a very important verse for understanding about this material world and how ultimately nothing is independent of Kṛṣṇa. We as living entities have been given some independence to think. We can think, we can will what we want to do, but we don’t have the independence to act. To act. That ability to act is given by Kṛṣṇa. Like someone who wants to win a football game, but there’s no guarantee he will win the football game. One wants to speak. Where we get the ability to speak, why a stone cannot speak. Ultimately the ability to speak, the ability to do anything, is by the mercy or by the special blessing of Kṛṣṇa and his expansion as a super soul. We don’t consciously digest our food or we don’t have to think spontaneously, want to walk. All those things are happening in a natural way.

That’s because this material nature is set out by the Lord that simply with his sanction it goes out function. But actually it’s not that by our own desire the wrong things are going. We desire and according to the desire of Kṛṣṇa and our previous activities, then we’re able to achieve a certain amount of action according to our desires. So Śrīla Prabhupāda said, even a person has some independence to choose between goodness, passion and ignorance. Although once one makes a basic direction of his desires, then because of the flow of material nature and so much environments, circumstances, then one is swept along in a certain current. But there are crossroads where one can change from one current to the next. One can turn around and accept Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Also when someone wants to know the truth and Kṛṣṇa sends a devotee to preach to that person. If a person has got faith, has any sincere desire, then he will listen to that person. And then upon hearing faith will develop and he will start to worship Kṛṣṇa. So in this regard were reading the vaishisht ashtaka profile. 86th appearance day of bakistan possessed of itakur celebration. The 6th voysishta or special quality of Bhakti Siddhartha which Śrīla Prabhupāda told us that we should take example, take lessons from the Gauria mat. Sometimes even bad example is a example that we can learn because then we learn not to make the same mistake. So in the Gauḍīya Matriya are good and bad examples and we should learn from both. So in this prayer we get various type of instructions that we can guide our Kṛṣṇa consciousness with that.

When, when in house to house there will be temples established. Then when will around the far distant corners of the world this be established? What I can understand is that Barbara is saying that here from almost every neighborhood in Bengal india, so many places Kodiyamat have been established. Then when will they go to the other parts of the world to establish? From here they can establish everywhere. Why not go outside also and establish all over the world? High Courte Judge Hawai Gauria Vaishnava There will be a Gauria Vaishnav as a High Court judge that he will have tilak that Gauria Vaishnav will be a High Court judge and he will wear Tilak while sitting in the courtroom judging Vaishnav say vote Loy rasa pati Habek bachar savant. When will there be so many Vaishnavs in the world that they will vote a pure Vaiav as the president?

And when will the preaching be everywhere, brothers? When will the preaching be performed everywhere, my brothers? To create this transcendental atmosphere, Balawan’s property is being looted by the demons and enjoyed by them. The objective unbiased responsible persons who are protecting religion. They all cry out high in despair. Seeing this, the demon’s plan is to cheat all of everyone. They can sell something which is valueless for a high price to open up an iron plant. will this build the belly to take away their hunger? will they simply eat different kinds of industrial wastes? A Brahmin in this color Yuga can place two paisa Brahmin thread around his neck and everyone will say he’s a Brahmin even though he has no other qualification. A Sannyāsī.

Someone can just put on giroa or saffron squad even though he’s the lowest of mankind and he will be accepted as a Sannyāsī. A householder will alms from the Sannyasis and millions of packets of rupees are kept in the bank by the sannyasis, by the effect of Kali. Every day the effect of Kali is increasing unlimitedly. And the conditioned souls bound up in this Kali Yuga are all crying out in despair. Hai Hai. Alas Alas. Seva. 10,000 cows are being slaughtered every day. Must be an Indian alone. 10,000 Danes away, hundreds of thousands. And all the big leaders are eating this foodstuff which is not sacrificed. It is offering for their own sense gratification, eating all types of nonsense. The materialistic intelligence of the people increases day by day. Husband and wife relationship can be broken just by one harsh word.

The everyone has become like witches and demons because of the effect of Kali Yuga. And the people in general are so miserable because of not getting the mercy of the Vaishnava. In other words, all these difficulties which are being experienced in Kali Yuga, Kalodoshya Nidhirajan, Hastiyaka, Kitnari, Vakṛṣṇa Mukta, Sangha Parang Bajad. There’s ocean of difficult, ocean of faults in the Kali Yuga. But because of the one good quality of Kali Yuga that by chanting the name of Kṛṣṇa everything can be. Everything can be wiped away. All these miseries. But because who is going to give out this message for the chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa, Chanting of the name of Kṛṣṇa. But the Vaishnava is for the pure devotees. So because the few devotees, they’re not giving their mercy. No, I have no mercy for you.

They’re busy with other affairs, managing their temple, sitting in whatever. So as a result of this people are suffering. It’s like if all the doctors in the world went on strike. They will no longer cure any more disease. People then it will be a very critical situation. People will become really upset. So it’s like that. All the sadhus of the world that know anything about real Vaishnav, they’re all on stress. We won’t tell anyone about this. We’re too busy with it. If somebody comes to us, you know, knocks down our door, we might tell them something. But we won’t go out, tell him. We won’t let anyone know we have that solution. This is the type of situation that Śrīla Prabhupāda is picturing here.

Actually by this preaching of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, by the preaching of the pure message of Caitanya Mahāprabhu that all the good aspects can be easily achieved. High court judges can become Vaishnavas wearing Tilak. That there can be presidents who are Vaiavas that the whole world can become very happy in devotional service. Instead of that, people are making their temples like their house. What is a mat for? A matra or a temple is meant to propagate the message of pure Vaishnavism. Agrihasta means that he has a house and he has a family, and he stays in his house and family and lives with his people. And he tries to increase his wealth and his fame and prestige like that. But a maṭha is meant at the center of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, not to be like a grihe.

One doesn’t become a grihe, gagi or renouncer of the family life to create a new family simply for living a comfortable life. In the name of spirituality, Mata is meant for bringing out the message of Kṛṣṇa into the public and to give this to anyone and everyone as far as possible, and to take it all over the world, to the far corners of the world. Just like when Śrīla Prabhupāda went to Berkeley and he lectured to all the students there and their faculty. And he told them that you people are sitting here in Berkeley, thousands and thousands of miles away, in a far corner of the world, in a very ice far corner, a distant place in the world, thousands of miles away from Sidan Māyāpur, the birthplace of Chaitanya Maharaj. Everyone thinks that they’re sitting in the center of the world.

But actually, center of the world is there. Birthplace of Kṛṣṇa, birthplace of Chaitanya Mahāprabhu. These are the real centers of the world. And there are souls who live in these centers and who are connected with them. But it’s their duty to take it to the far corners and give. So because that type of a preaching spirit was given by Bhakti, Siddhartha, Saraswithagur especially, it’s one of his special characteristics that he wanted to broadcast in every corner and every place. This message of Lord Caitanya’s message of Gītā of Bhagavān and the pure Vedic Vaishnava understanding.

So those who follow in his footsteps, those who claim to be his followers or his disciples, grand disciples, great grand disciples, they have to also take up that spirit of broadcasting the message somehow or another, or participating within that joint effort for establishing and propagating the pure message of Chetanimahat. So if for any reason one is obstructed from doing so, if for any reason one stops engaging in that type of preaching activity, so then this is a matter of lack of mercy. Instead of thinking about how many people are suffering while One is stopping preaching while one is stopping in assisting in the preaching movement. If one focuses on his own mental, physical situations and improvements, liberations, then so many souls are forced to suffer. Just like when a doctor is sick and he can’t cure the other people, the others are suffering.

But of course you may say, well, there are other doctrines, but who else is there to preach the movement of Chaitanya? There is only a handful of people who preach this pure Vedic philosophy. So someone is graduate doctor of the spiritual science, but doesn’t go out and give any, doesn’t give any training, doesn’t give any treatment. Gradually then the whole branch of medicine will die out. And as a result, people will have to suffer those diseases without hope for cure. So as a result we can see all these symptoms of the Kali Yuga, they are manifest. These same symptoms are discussed in the Bhāgavatam. These same symptoms are discussed in the Bhāgavatam.

That property, which is the property of God, that demons are taking and enjoying themselves, that different type of demonic people, they make so many plans, but the ultimate purpose is to cheat others, to raise some fun for themselves. As a result, so many cows are forced to be killed for hardly any money. They’re just killing cows. And instead they’re saying that eat meat and work in the factories. And in this way, gradually the agricultural produce goes down. And simply by over industrialization, a type of artificial society is built up. It was very good when there were a few industrialized nations and they could produce so many products and sell to the underdeveloped nations. It was a very good market. They could make a lot of profit.

Now, when the underdeveloped nation are also producing industrialized products and competing, and everyone is producing how much market there is, not for what’s marketed, but so everybody is manufacturing something, how many things people can use. So gradually whole type of artificial situation is built up, whether communistic or whether capitalistic. The whole program is doomed to be a failure. Because based upon simply industrialization, it’s not possible that you can come in that type of a harmonious compromise, harmonious environment. You can come into any type of equilibrium. The equilibrium is there. If you have simple living and high thinking, if you’re based upon the agricultural produce and you have plenty of food, then there’s no problem, everyone can subsist.

But as soon as you’re based simply on industry, as soon as there’s some type of economic problem, then immediately people start small, starving, immediately start to starve. So naturally it’s an artificial type of advancement which is based upon artificial standards. Therefore people are forced to suffer in so many ways. So rather than simply eating meat and working industrial, better to be vegetarian. To eat simple food which is nutritious, which is produced from the organic richness of the soil and which has all the nutrients and things which are necessary. Prepare that nicely offered to Kṛṣṇa as a sacrifice and then take the remnants. This is a way of becoming very happy. Instead people are killing so many thousands and thousands of cows. Don’t hurt anyone who produce nice milk and then they eat the meat.

All the big leaders who talk about world peace, world brotherhood, this and that, they eat the same meat. They don’t think offering anything is sacrificed. They don’t offer any homage to God, they just take it that everything is meant for our enjoyment, give a big speech and then with no reference except for a lip service to God. These are all symptoms of Kali Yuga, other symptoms that Prabhupāda has mentioned here. Someone puts on a Brahman thread, he’s accepted as a Brahmin. Brahman has 12 qualities or 9 qualities according to the Gītā or Bhagavad. Someone who has those qualities should be accepted as a Brahmin. If he doesn’t have those qualities, then he should be accepted by whatever qualities he has. There are so many slokas in the Vedas which confirm this.

Ka himself says in the Bhagavad Gītā that by Guna karma, by qualities and work, the person, him we know what social order, what spiritual order is he in. So nowadays you will find even in big cities like Calcutta there will be someone wearing a Brahman thread who’s carrying coal. He’s black from head to foot, he carries kohl on his head and he’s wearing a brown hair. If you ask him, he will say that I am so and so Upad Daya, I am Brahman Puribar. But what is he? He’s a Kiyan, he’s a Kuli. He carries only loads on his head. But he thinks that I am a Brahman. The other Khulis, they are sutra Kulis, but I am a Brāhmaṇa Kula and someone. He may be the prime minister or he may be someone, but he may be of a different caste.

People will go on thinking that he’s a Hari Jana, he’s a lady. Actually, what the work is and what the qualities are, these should be the judge men of what a person is. Abu Baida is saying that Brāhmaṇa shouldn’t carry headload, shouldn’t work for other persons. Even a person may be born Brāhmaṇa, he’s carrying headload, he’s working as another person’s servant. They still heal things. And I Brahman. And when he marries his daughter, he has to find his name Brāhmaṇa family. But because other then he has to find Brāhmaṇa family who is also carrying headload and working like this. So this type of artificial standard are produced and society becomes more and more complex. Even people india, they’re converted to Christianity. Then there’s the Ramana Christian, Kakya Christian, Vaishya Kṛṣṇa and Sutra Christian, and then the Harijan Kṛṣṇa.

If you are Brāhmaṇa and then converted, that means that you are higher class Christian than if you were a street sweeper that was converted. So this type of bodily consciousness and castan is so deeply ingrained within this, telling you that this wasn’t there before, it wasn’t there before. To that extent, if a person had the qualities, there was an opportunity for him to elevate himself. Now according to those systems, it was very difficult. Now, by the mercy of Chaitanya Mahatrabhu, the truth is being revealed. The truth is being revealed. But if the Vaishnavas do not take that message and preach it, then how can it be revealed? So other point Prabhupāda is making is similarly to be a sannyāsī, to be a renounced person, there are various responsibilities and duties. But nowadays if somebody puts on a saffron cloth, he’s accepted it as sanyasi.

Sometimes you see that men and women are both going together wearing sapa sanyasi neet in different places and they’re going around. So far this has not started yet in the south, but in North India already you can see it in certain places. All these type of things are great disturbances to the order. And Brāhmaṇa means that whatever he gets, he’s supposed to spend it the next day.

(Side B of the Cassette)

Brāhmaṇa means that whatever he gets, he’s supposed to spend it the next day. Whatever he gets, he’s supposed to be the spirit. He’s supposed to spend it for the spiritual purposes. But you find that so many india, so many sannyasis are there so called gurus who hoard the money. That’s why people always come to us and tell us that please give us your bank account. Because they think of these people as sannyasis. They’re bigger organizations, they have lots of money. Even like the big temples in South India, they had money. Government moved in, took over and took all the money. Now uses it for material work. That money should have been used for spiritual work, for printing religious books, for maintaining other temples, for preaching to the people, God consciousness.

But instead they will borrow the money or they will take it and they will use it for building battleships. One of the battleships built by the Indian navy was built by the money from the Tirupatji Deva Pastana. And you know, the money prophet said that why don’t you use this money? People give it because it’s for. They give it to Kṛṣṇa because they want it to be used for preaching Kṛṣṇa Consciousness, for preaching the message of Kṛṣṇa. This is very sinful. If you take the money then you don’t use it for that purpose. I didn’t like to hear these things. You’re also financing theatre so that we can see him Alimi. At least they should finance theater. Then they should make only movies which are authorized and giving the pastimes of the Lord in an authorized way according to Vedas. Instead they will show love stories.

So in this way, day by day, Prabhupāda is saying it’s the color Yuga is increasing. Their people’s intelligence is becoming more and more materialistic, more and more distorted. Just like when one of our leaders was arrested in America and he was charged with charge of brainwashing. Just let the followers of the. Some of the followers of the movement because they’re always chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa and chanting a japa or silent meditation and quiet meditation came to me. They said this is a form of brainwashing and that this and other things they comprise brainwashing. The loss of free will. So he was guilty of kidnapping by brainwashing to the brouphasin that you should say to them that there’s no question they’re brainwashing because they don’t have any brain. They have lost it. Holiday, they have lost all these. We have to Give them a break.

But the point is that here the people’s intelligence is gone. It becomes. This becomes so materialistic that they don’t have any real objective intelligence anymore. They don’t have any more brain power to see things. They become just like animals. Just like animal that’s messing around. Where is food? Where is sex? Where is a place to slee? Where is some enemy to fight with or to fear? Then in the same way the people are just sitting around just how to eat, how to have sex, how to get a place to sleep, how to avoid the income tax evasion laws, and so on and so forth. There’s no question of actually any spiritual intelligence. What is life? Who is God? What is purpose? And where am I going? What is going to happen after I die? What is death? What is life? Any of these questions.

They don’t have time. They just animalistic. So where’s the question of intelligence? How can you brainwash animal? No question of brainwashing animals. People have already just become like animals. Husband and wife. Who was his foot be put in some Parker’s thought Akrosai Chadi that husband and wife are supposed to be a spiritual team. That on the basis of either basis of service to the spiritual master in Kṛṣṇa, basis of a natural affection and faith, they’re supposed to work together for material and spiritual progress. But in Khali Yuga, because of loss of spiritual progress is because of his material relationship. Is there even one word they can one argument. They can forget everything in the previous ages. The faith between husband and wife. The relationship would be so strong that there would never be a father of separation.

But Kali Yuga is really hard even to bring in any type of meeting of the mind. Just because everyone is so proud, Everyone is so much influenced like Kali Yuga, that if a little bit of disagreement comes up immediately the other partner becomes intolerable. No one has any dedications to the institution that in this human life one is supposed to become Kṛṣṇa conscious. And to become Kṛṣṇa conscious one has to regulate sense gratification. And the regulation of sense gratification of sex life is that one has to get married. And then one gets married. Then one is supposed to get married once for the whole lifetime. And the one is supposed to work in cooperation with the married partner, produce children. But it’s so difficult to bring people to come to that type of simple understanding.

Even on the level of duty what to speak of affection or love. At least a material type of love. The point is that this on the basis of duty to the scripture, to the institution of the Vedic culture for the benefit of advancing in spiritual life for any reason whatsoever. People don’t find it important. They just want to do whatever they want to do, completely independent. If it doesn’t suit their immediate samastic or ajastic or suffering goal, then give it up. So all these things are very painful. These cause more and more disturbance, more and more anxiety. Therefore everything is completely disruptive. Therefore, it’s the duty of Vaishnava to show the proper example. To teach the public how to behave in every aspect of Vaishnava should be a perfect example.

As a Brahmachari, as a Vihasta, as a Vanadrastha, as a Sanyasi, how one can perform the duties of the different astramas in pure Vaiavna, also in occupational duties like Brāhmaṇa Kshatriya, Vaishya Sutra, how to perform these responsibilities in such a way that one is Kayak. If the Vaishnavas don’t show the good example, if they don’t swallow their false pride, if they don’t accept voluntarily the inconvenience, then how can they expect a gross materialist who doesn’t have any spiritual understanding, who doesn’t have any spiritual knowledge, to accept voluntarily any kind of inconvenience for the sake of Karma? A Vaishnava should not be Vaishnava in name only. If one is practicing bhakti yogī, that means that he accepts, she accepts, various type of kapasya or austerity, inconvenience, misery, for the sake of becoming God conscious, and for teaching others how to be Kṛṣṇa conscious.

Otherwise there’s no question of being devotee. It’s simply a false show. It’s bogus. It’s only lip service. To be a devotee of Kṛṣṇa, to be a Vaishnava being, to have compassion others, and to have compassion one’s own soul, which is forced to suffer in this material world because of neglect of following the instructions of Kṛṣṇa. So in the beginning, spiritual life is bitter. That which is in the mode of goodness is different. But in the end, that which is in the mode of goodness becomes like nectar, but other things, they seem to be very sweet in the mode of passion, they seem to be very sweet in the beginning, but in the end they are bitter. Despite people, sometimes they get married because they are very attracted to each other, sexually or mentally.

But then if it’s not, if it’s simply on the basis of sense gratification, they get married. And in the end this simply requires more and more material bondage. And in the end everything becomes very different. Whether someone gets married or takes any responsibility out of Kṛṣṇa. In the beginning, it may be bitter, it may be difficult. But if one just takes as a duty to become Kṛṣṇa conscious, to cross over all the different types of material mental obstacles and accept whatever misery necessary to become Kṛṣṇa conscious, then in the end he takes eternal medicine. The point is that if the devotees don’t take this inconvenience, if the devotees are so selfish and so unmerciful, to give a good example or to take up the act of preaching, both are necessary good example, attire and pro child as well as preaching.

But how can the common people be saved from this Kaliyuda? Everything is set up for them to be delivered by the Holy Name. But it’s left upon the devotees who get this mercy to take it out, at least to practice it. And after practicing, actually one should also preach. It was written, he said, that one should preach by his own example. No doubt practice is very essential. That is the first step. But then, if one is able to practice, and then if one particular area, everything is going on, then also the desire to go and give it to others in different places, that should also be a motivating desire. So this is a special glory and quality of Bhakti Siddhānta Param Thakur.

That he had this type of dedication, he could have relished the pastimes of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Śrīmati Rādhārāṇī in his full ecstasy. Because he has a full realization of these pastimes. There was no need for him to go through the headache of traveling here and there, all over India and sending preachers all over the world. He meant nothing to gain. He had already achieved everything. But he did so because he could see that the people were suffering. He wanted to give them pure Kṛṣṇa consciousness because they had the desire of becoming Mahasavu. And we, as the descendants in his family, the followers rather of this Kṛṣṇa Consciousness movement, as the descendants in the family of Bakya Siddhan, they should understand the special quality of mercy that he had.

We can see this quality completely magnified, reflected, manifested in the example of Bhakti Vida Swami Paruphar preaching all over the world and giving us consciously, right to his very last breath, his hands of mercy, and still giving us through his instructions, that same mercy. We should appreciate the examples of these, of our great Acharya and the responsibility which it has put upon us to carry out their instructions, to follow in their glorious footsteps. We shouldn’t think we are Vaishnavas from here and understand actually their boishes or their great characteristics. We should know that we are trying to be Vaishnava. To me a Vaishnava is such a great thing that even if one is trying to be a Vaishnava, he is glorious. But to be a Vaishnava, that is an inconceivable, unthinkable position which by the mercy of divine possible even for someone with uncle.

You were speaking about the duty of a Vaishnav and how it is in business to preach. And how there’s so much suffering that they don’t preach. So we see by history for this kind that so many people have taken up this message and preached so nicely and receiving books and they so many souls. But then for some reason they have fallen away from preaching, fall down, stopping appreciation. Is it due to envy or is it due to an apparatus? Or is it due to weak style? So then what is this? Why do you fall away and do so much nonsense after you have been preaching for so long? Being so much mercy? Why? Yes, yes, yes. I agree. The farmer said that you shouldn’t be surprised at who leads, you should be surprised at who stays. Because this is the most difficult razor sharp path.

You shave and you’re a little careless. And you cut yourself. How many ways you can be careless that damn anyway. But the point is if you’re a little careful about shaving, you won’t cut. But everyone has experience at some time or another that got cut. But if you’re careful, you don’t get cut. Then why do we cut as much? Because while we’re shaving, we think about the nut boiling over. We think about this whatever or summer calls and we just the same way. It’s nothing unusual if someone becomes careless. But the point is that if one is a little careful, you won’t get touched. And if you don’t get cut, if you’re a little careful, then you’re guaranteed to achieve that. In any case, whatever they have done, they never are to be considered. They never lose that benefit.

And they’re never to be considered on the same level as ordinary people. Because once they face the dislike to find people, they create mistakes. But somehow at one point or another, they became careless. They started to associate. The difficult thing is that people have bad habits to begin with. The prophet said to train up debauchees is the most difficult thing. He said he had some personal experience. The training up debauchees is like washing a coal the more you wash it, the more it comes out black. You’re thinking that underneath, there might be some kind of something there. Like the soul is there underneath. Just take off the COVID But after washing and no matter how much you wash, it just keeps coming black. You think that maybe I am washing cold. Maybe there is nothing underneath.

The point is that of course underneath there is a pure stone. But how many millions of billions of bread we have been in this world and how little amount of actual beer scrubbing we want to do? It’s just like one time, I remember we used to take off the urchins from the street and they used to scrub him up. Has to do the Maris and his wife. At that time, there’s Yas, they used to do that and the kids would be screaming and yelling because they allowed the dirt to come just for, you know, years ago. It was catered as when they would scrub it, apparently the skin was coming off with the dirt. The dirt had become part of them. And they were screaming and all over. Some places it was just red, you know, even blood practically because they were so dirty.

But after it was all over them, you know, they looked great. But you know, they also looked like they were completely, you know, exhausted. And so the situation is like that. You know, we still got so many dirt from so much material association that when we scrub it hurts. So we don’t want to scrub so hard. You could just steam out hard to expand. We could just throw ourselves into it. But then we’re afraid that it’s going to hurt. We want to kind of take it easy. Just like when you have a bandage on. Everyone knows to be thinking, rip it off, it hurts leg. But a person who doesn’t know that, you know, doesn’t have that type of mental. He can never do it for himself. Hardly.

Someone else come and rip it off, but he always wants to gradually pull it off, right? But it hurts, you know, one hair at a time. It’s pulling and it’s hurting. That type of determination that we don’t have to just. You want to gasp, you take it off, take it in. You know what happens is that sometimes we don’t get it all the way off and become distracted. Never heals up. This is the thing, it’s a disease. Take out the poison and then let it completely heal. Pull off the bandage completely, let the scar also go. That’s someone who’s preaching. They get a taste. You see those people that fall away, but still they come back, still they come by unless they become offensive of the gurus. Then they still usually keep some relationship. They still feel grateful. They still have.

They can’t forget at that time they had some special happiness. But due to bad association, they’re lost for this night. And again. Next slide please. That’s why we also need then good Kṛṣṇa conscious householders who can bring and leave in the scope for those fall in the vulgar. They have to come back again. And we need also people that want to be determined not to get tangled up with Māyā and go back this life. Any other questions? Yes. The first function as a five senses. In the seventh, the second bar. The objects of the five knowledge require senses, sound, touch, form, taste and smell. And then the objects of the working senses. That means speech, touch, movement, evacuating and sexual intercourse. These are the five objects of the working speech, touch, movement, evacuation, sexual activity.

And the 11th is the function of the mind by which one describes it. The function of the mind, the false ego, sound, touch, form, taste and smell are the objects of the five knowledge. Acquiring senses, speech, touch, movements, evacuation and sexual intercourse are the objects of the workings. Besides this, there is another conception by which one thinks. This is my body, this is my society, this is my family, this is my nation. And so on and so forth. This eleventh function, that of the mind is called the false ego. According to some philosopher, this is the 12 functions and it’s cube of the activity of the body. They put the mind and false ego as one. As you let them soundly divided thinking process and then the identification. Because the thinking is all based upon the.

You got to be able to distinguish between the mind and the body. When it says philosophy. Never say this although looks be offensive. The point is that there’s two different categories. Material activity and offensive. Lord Chaitanya overlooks whatever type of material activity we have done, whatever type offensive evil we committed. He tends to give up. And then after forgiving us, then we’re not supposed to commit those same things again. Just like Jagai Mambai, he forgave them for their offenses. The Lord didn’t. But he made the comments that they couldn’t see those things again. So especially maybe someone can have some material difficulty one time, two times and get forgiven. But I guess again one cannot go on committing offensive offenses have more serious than committing sense gratification. Two different to make a sinful activity or to do something with sense gratification.

That is the material fall down that you can again get picked up without so much difficulty. At least it doesn’t destroy whatever progress you have made that relies like in a fixed environment. But when you start to put it offensive with your vice know then that actually starts to take out from your balance. And if the offense is severe enough and the vice novice is pure enough, then it will completely destroy one’s birth to progress. Just like if one gives out offends his guru by blaspheming his guru, then that type of person, Lord Chaitanya says in the Chaitanya Charavida Kṛṣṇa said if he can’t get another bona fide guru for one for 10 million births, for 10 million kotas.

Or in other words, practically they will get put back down as a sun ant or something sun microbe and then have to work his way back up. By that way, by the time he comes back up after so many days of Brahma, then he will be able to be reinstated. There was one devoting, he started blasting and the Kohupa’s person that he would not be able to get a bona fide spirit from Astra for one lack of birth. And then someone was thinking that he was a brave heart. And then another devotee has prayed me to the call for the being so merciful. He said someone who commits such an offense to get another spirit semester only 100,000 births is a tremendous boom. Otherwise you can’t get that opportunity even after 10 million births. You come right up to the top, right up to the top.

And then you have taken that opportunity and use it to do the most vile thing. It’s like a person working his way up and becomes the secretary of the prime minister. And he gets caught for treatment and he’s given death. Why other person is getting something? That’s the reason why we’re in the material world. Why Christian is bad, why not me? Why? Why shouldn’t I be controlling? Why shouldn’t I be worshipped? Why shouldn’t I be served? Why should I serve? Another one comes in spiritual life, you’re supposed to give up envy. Supposed to know that is the reason why whole reason why imminent shall work. Then we understand the person that spiritualizes nothing but giving money. He’s taking all the sinful reaction, he’s taking all these liabilities. He’s giving out from us completely without any Kṛṣṇa even he can accept Allah. He envious against me.

He wants to do material enjoyment. That’s another thing. Kṛṣṇa he can forgive that. But when he sees Jesus devotees given all the mercy, all the care, all the consideration. And then instead that person takes and he envies him just like a why a snake bites another person. They don’t need any reason. They just be walking and they will bite him because they envy it. So when one comes in spiritual life, you can take out envy from inside. That’s the one thing you cannot dove here. Everything that we dove is just lust, anger, greed. Everything you can done here. You can become angry for Kṛṣṇa, you can become lusty for Kṛṣṇa, you can become moody for Kṛṣṇa, you can become illusions. But Kṛṣṇa.
