The following is a lecture given by His Holiness Jayapatākā Swami Mahārāja on April 11, 1992 – in Śrī Māyāpur, India. The lecture begins with a reading from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 2.9.36.

A person who is searching after the supreme absolute truth, the personality Prophet, as to search it out up to this certainly in all circumstances and in all states and time, both directly and indirectly. So yesterday we read the first three pages of this turf war is very long, so we will read again some more. Therefore, even the great scientists, the great philosophers, the great mental speculators, the great politicians, the great industrialists and the great social reformers, etc. Cannot give any relief to the restless society of the material world because they do not know the secret of success as mentioned in this verse of the Bhāgavata. Meaning that one must know the history of Mata Yoga in the Bhagavad Gītā. It also says.

Chapter 7, verse the so called leaders, great leaders of human society because they are enjoying of this great knowledge of Bhakti Yoga and are always engaging in noble act of sense gratification, bewildered by the external energy of the Lord are subar levels against the supremacy of the supreme personality of God and they never again would surrender unto him because they are fools, mischief and a low disciple of human beings. In such cases, non believers may be highly educated in the material sense of the term. But perhaps we are the greatest rules of the world because by the influence of the external material of nature, all that so called acquisition of knowledge has been made null and void.

Therefore all expansion of knowledge in the present context of things is being misused in terms of the cats and dogs fighting with one another for sensual education and all acquisition of knowledge in science, philosophy, fine arts, nationality, economic development, religiousness and great activity are being spoiled by being used as dresses by dead men or for dead men. There is no liquidity in the dresses used for covering and coffin at the dead body saints gaining a false applause and ignorant public. The Śrī Mahavatan therefore says again and again that without a namement of the status of Baki Yoga, all activities of the human society are to be considered as absolute failures only. It is said, As long as one is blind to inquiring after self realization, all material activities, however great they may be of all different kinds of defeat.

Because the aim of human life is not fulfilled by such unwanted and copious activities. The function of a human body is to attain freedom from the material bondage. But as long as one is fully absorbed in material activity, his mind will be overwhelmed in a whirlpool of matter and thus he will continue to be in cage and the material bodies life after life. It is one’s mind that generates different kinds of body for suffering different kinds of material pain.

Therefore, as long as the mind is absorbed in spiritual activity, it is to be understood that the mind is absorbed in mission and thus one is searching again and again be subjected to material bondage in different bodies until one develops a transcendental love of Godhead Va with the pave icon to become taught in the transcendental range, qualities, form and activities of the Supreme Person. Vasudeva means to change the temper of the mind from madness to absolute knowledge which leads one to the path of absolute realization and thus frees one from the bondage of material contact and engagement indifference material body. In the sense that the principles of bhakola or devotional service to the Lord are apt in all circumstances.

In other words, it is recommended in all the real fiction, it is performed by all authorities, it is important in all places, it is useful in all causes and effects, etc. It is as far as the revealed scriptures are concerned. He calls from the Sunnah Purāṇa on the topics of Brahma and narrative. In the material world which is full of darkness and danger, combined with present death and fullness, different anxiety, the only way to get out of the great entanglement is to accept loving, tense and mental devotional service of the Lord Rahta Nima. This is accepted by all classes of philosophy. The Diva Goswami also quotes another common passage which is found in three Purāṇas, namely the Padma Purāṇa, the Samadhrana and Linda Purāṇa designs as follows.

By scrutinizingly revealing all the revealed scriptures and judging them again and again, it is now concluded that Lord Mariah this is the main absolute Truth and that he alone should be worshipped, the same truth is also in the red with the child as follows. Even though one may not fall to the other side of all the Vedas, and even though one is well versed in all the reviewed scriptures, if one is not a devotee of the Supreme Lord, he must be considered to be the Lord of mankind. Similarity is also saying directly. One who has unlistening devotion under the Supreme Personality must have all of his poverty of and primarily one who is not in the multi of the Lord must be hovering in the darkness of mental circulation and thus must be engaged in the material inferior.

It is also said in the Lever Chanter of the. Use. One may be one word in all the transcendental literature of the Ve, but if he fails to be acquainted with the supreme, then it must be concluded that all of the is like the birth of the or as one eating a cow without helping the passages. Similarly, the liberty of discharging loving transcendental service to the Lord is invested in everyone, even the women, the children of the Horus tribes or any other living kings who are aborted in sinful condition. The lowest of many beings can be elevated to the highest stage of devotional life if they are trained up by the bona fide spiritual masters well versed in the transcendental loving service of the Lord.

If the Lord can be so elevated and then watch the speed of the highest, well, welcome to the Vedic knowledge. The conclusion is that devotional service of the Lord is open for all regardless of who they are. That is the consummation of his application of all training. Of the promise of the service. Therefore devotion of service of the Lord with perfect knowledge through the training of a bona fide spiritual master’s advice for everyone even if they happen not to be human beings. This is confirming the Guru Quran as follows. Even the worms, birds and beasts are short of elevation. This is a translation to the highest perfection life if they are committed surrender to the canon and the loving service of the Lord.

The one who speaks of both philosophers amongst human beings, even the world’s first indeed are assured of elevation to the highest protection of life if they are completely surrender to the sanction and loving service of the Lord to what the speech of the whole Virginia come to therefore there is no need to seek properly qualified candidates for discouraging the ocean of service of the water. Let them eat a wealthy egg or intrigue. Let them eat the land or food. Let them be their glossy in half or in the renowned quarter of life. Let them be liberated soul or desires of salvation. Let them be inexpert in the discharge of devotional service or experts in the faith. All that can be elevated to the supreme position by this charge of devotional service under the proper guidance.

This is all within turn in the manner of GK as follows. Haramat Gītā, 9th chapter, verses 30 and 32 the person is fully addicted to all consorts of sinful acts and he happens to be engaged in the loving intentional service of the Lord under proper guidance. He is to be considered the most perfect holy man without a doubt. And thus any person must have a whoever he or even the fallen woman, the less intelligent labor class, or the thousand men, or even men lower than all these, can attain the highest protection of life by going back to home, back to God, provided he or she take shelter of the lotus feet of the Lord in all earnestness. This sincere earnestness is the only quality being that can lead one to the highest professional states of life.

And unless until such real earnestness is aroused, There is a difference between cleanliness and uncleanliness. Learning or non learning is a careless dimension. The fire is always fire. And thus if someone touches the fire knowingly or unknowingly, the fire will act in its own way without any discrimination. The principle is. All powerful Lord can verify the divine needs of all sensual reactions, just as the sun can sterilize all sorts of infections by its powerful rays. There are quotes. Attraction of material enjoyment cannot act upon a pure devotee of the Lord. There are hundreds and thousands of aphorisms in the reveal, Sister Abraham. Even the self horizons are also attracted by the practical loving service of the Lord. Simply by hearing and chanting one becomes a great devotee.

A person who does not move from the lower seat of the Lord even for a moment or second is to be considered the greatest of all. The pure authorities are convinced of the painting the association of the personality of Godhead. And thus they are always engaged in the transmitter loving service of the Lord. Therefore, in all continents, in all planets, in all universes, there is currency of the orchestral service of the Lord. And there is the statement of the Shreema and allied scriptures everywhere means in every tire of the creation of the dwarf. The Lord can be served by all the chances or even simply by providing the South Indian power to serve the Lord sincerely on the strength of his mind. Also casually realize the Lord.

Success is guaranteed for the Lord, he who fully engages any one that in the mode of devotional service the Lord can be served by inconvenience. Even the most common commodities, a flour, a leaf, a fruit or a little water, which are available in any part of the universe and without any cost. And thus the Lord is served universally by the universal entity. He can’t be served simply by hearing, he can be served simply by chanting or reading about his activities. He can’t be served simply by adoring him and accepting Him. In the Bhagavad Gītā it is stated that one can serve the Lord by offering the results of one’s own to work. It does not matter what one does. Gently man may say that whatever they are doing is inspired by God, but that is not all.

One should actually work on behalf of God as a servant of God. The Lord says In Bible episodes 9, 27. Do whatever you like, whatever may be easier for you to do. Eat whatever you may eat, sacrifice whatever you need. Sacrifice, give whatever you may give in charity. Do whatever you may undertake in penance but everything must be done. Forgiveness only if you do business or if you accept some employment, do so on behalf of the Lord. Whatever you may eat, you may offer the same to the Lord and be assured that he will return the food after eating it yourself. Here is the complete whole. And therefore whatever you may eat has offered by the mercy of the accepted because of the devotee’s love. But again it is eternally forgotten for the devotee so that he can be happy by eating.

In other words, be a servant of God and live peacefully in that consciousness also to the eternal home. Back to the audience. Thus does not end the third point. Text 36, Chapter 9 Chantel 2 of the Shimon Bible was found with those. Today. Actually this last name is at work too. But then also they are word accepted because the water also found. Lord Chaitanya heard the story of the Ibrahima and his son went out to get some donations from the Gihastras to the Achaena deities. And he left after giving his son Brahman to initiation. He’s only a small boy, six or seven. So he didn’t this time enough to do the we told him to do the pūjā, but he had no time to stay in all the detail. It was urgent call.

You have to go out prevent the mother took care of all the food. The Bona gave it to the scribes and the sanctions of additional deity the place to place before the deities and prayed. Please accept the offering. And he suited. Why you’re trying to. So the son David became a ruler and then cast out into Prasad of Allah. Then again to his solicitors. And Assad took action and replaced the mother to the churches to get the full place because of our dominate each by simply glancing for sleep. But because he saw violence. The Lord was eating and was not happy like he saw the Lord eat it just to satisfy him. The Lord. Is Lord eat. Yes, I did what my father was doing. Until the father came back, revealed that there something very mysterious going on. And he situated while in front.

Then. Look outside. All of a sudden there he was. Sleep bad. Here it also son of the Lord. He really. His hands and pillowstone was surrounded by his foul tender body. The Lord stepped back up and took it for his shoes, Lord, for we have seen it all before. There was a blister there and I saw the blister still. The Lord is so kind. She is coming and this is the accepting offering that she is making. And this to reassure her. Actually she has accepted the offering in half and only leave half. If she wonder what is going on Maybe the deity of drinking or she is off his planet Whether it’s before nap all of a sudden have the offering to the agent.

So anyway, the Lord made me very pleased to see all this transfer but even then though we are offering and the Lord is returning all the offerings that we are doing. Devotees. Because one principality actually. If I get inspired when the time is right or happening in the right situation. In the dark. Therefore everything we’re doing you can see the absolutely important the unpersonal unconscious world important and essentiality of having directly connected with Kṛṣṇa. If you don’t connect with Kṛṣṇa then by whatever work we do whatever speak words you speak whatever money you make whatever things we all connect it with Kṛṣṇa. Ladies, Now where you go out and then you become. A. Completely become lost in America. And I do because of. So many people came to see him came see it. Christians always know. There’s never any reason for any challenge.

Whatever may be. Kind of tom everywhere. Bring hope. So begin meetings with us. The home theater. To bring our Master all over the world to take our. Very. But I want to be comparing to. Inspire some attraction to the. Poor his resignation in the enthusiasm everyone one time he expressed a little inside issue his perseverance and station he said. And. So. Nothing but.

(Side B of the Cassette)

In this process I feel like I am cleaning a piece of coal instead of a diamond covered by some dirt which you wash and after some time the diamond is there. He said, sometimes I do I need cleaning a coat. Nothing but color all the way through. Black is coming. How much your mobile. Coming from without and coming from a family situation. Had to endure to patiently train people from different backgrounds. Simple backgrounds, materialistic backgrounds, conditioned backgrounds, mental speculative backgrounds, impersonal backgrounds, etc. What authorities he was enjoying, we can only begin to imagine them. But he also took complete reassurance and paid all his work. Therefore he took it up and we can be completely grateful if any success we are achieving. To whatever extent we are achieving success is simply by Śrīla Prabhupāda complete ways of the process of devotional service.

And therefore we should also maintain excellent faith in this process of devotional service. Come what may. Thank you very much. Any questions? Lord Chaitanya told his mother Sati that she should not give grain, pulses and eternity. The Vedas say that on the day of ecarmity anyone who stamps the names of Govita or devotional service. They easily get so many spiritual benefits. But apparently there was some complaint by Yamaha that this is causing Everybody is getting liberated too easy. Getting no more customers. So then a special conviction was given that in all types of brain pulses, et cetera. That all the sins will be kept there. So if you eat grains and ecalyptically you are eating all kinds of sins. So therefore on ecology one should not take any grain pulses being. The basis of principle in junction. Therefore I call it Anakalpa.

We don’t take Ana. We don’t take brain. This is the bottom line. This is the absolute picture. This everyone should follow. In addition to that there comes the one day to run with the mark. So they do. Nirjala Karachi especially one major at the time of Khandu Nirjala Karachi of Bhiman Nirjala Kadishi. It is said to do that one Nirjala kadachi that counts for all the whole year. Shikadachi the Dimal is not able to keep track of if they were the Kadarshi or not. Fighting in wars with so many things. He wanted one mate to just do it one time. We heard like that. I don’t know the exact details, but in a general sense this is what we know as the significance of neural hematology. So that one has the option.

So this is optional that one can also observe ecology as Anirjala if they do an irjala ecalachi, you can get some kind of special blessings for that. Although to what the extent this is significant for devotees, they sometimes do this to please the Lord more. Those who are Karma khanda, they do it to get some kind of special Karma Khanda blessing. But if one wants to do that near Jalakadu sea, then there are various rules. One cannot eat after a certain time the day before, drink the whole day of course. And the whole night. The whole day one will not take water the whole night, one will take no water during the whole night. One has to also stay awake. During the day one has to stay awake. Then in the morning after one can take a breakfast the next day.

Also during the day one is not supposed to sleep. It means that for approximately 48 hours we have to go without sleep and for 24 hours we have to go without water. If you do that, then we understand this is a full voltage of living. Very few people, generally people are as soon as they break fast, they’re also going and sleeping. But we understand it’s not the system. I am just speaking from what I heard. As far as details, we understand this is from Haribat, Śrī Lan and other scriptures that could be referred to. So this is asking that one does have to can get some kind of. You can make a special offering to Kṛṣṇa for his pleasure. And you can get as far as past angel moon or past angel sunrise. These are the optional things that the worldly may decide to do.

Because on a karakti we are supposed to increase by devotional servants. So increasing emotional service can be, you can say, facilitated by decreasing our eating and sleeping. If we don’t eat, then we can camp on this idea. But there’s no high and task rule in this regard. The high and task rule is no vein, no pulses and no being and chant as Mahari, Kṛṣṇa, Mahmanshah, as Pasul read the scripture, remember Kṛṣṇa. This is the day for going with. This is a principal thing. If you do everything regarding diet. But then the whole day you’re going on doing other things. You’re not able to chant or remember Kṛṣṇa. The donati are complete. Once inside, it will both. As far as sharing, Anita says that taking chargnamita does not break the path.

Although some people who are doing near Jawa they are taking the charnamita and just putting on their heads. I have heard both. I have seen both. Exactly the one I heard that as you’re doing economy or you’re doing especially janmaskami or some other test still taking China liter. One drop does not break the test. Still, I am saying some devotees are putting on their head, someone should research what are the different taste of the point so far I know I can break his hand, but maybe someone also if they want, they put on their head trying to meet the belongs that I made in any. While Shiva God was preaching and acted in service, we didn’t see them observing a near Jali parishes. What he did in vain island I don’t know.

But while he was preaching, he didn’t observe neutralica As a regular teacher, he takes vegetables and fruits and things. Maybe some of his servants can say Sometimes my love observed we didn’t see him observing it. You know, in alpha pictures of it.
