ANNOUNCER: The following is
a morning walk conversation,
2
00:00:18,377 --> 00:00:23,684
with His Divine Grace
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda,
3
00:00:23,685 --> 00:00:47,742
recorded on the 24th of
November, 1975, in Bombay, India.
4
00:00:47,743 --> 00:00:50,862
PRABHUPĀDA: And
therefore they’re suffering.
5
00:00:50,863 --> 00:00:58,235
The whole world is suffering
on this misconception.
6
00:00:58,236 --> 00:01:00,095
The horse also.
7
00:01:00,096 --> 00:01:08,986
As soon as he gets one… somebody on
his back he become jubilant immediately.
8
00:01:08,987 --> 00:01:10,066
This is the nature.
9
00:01:10,067 --> 00:01:13,006
jīvera ‘svarūpa’ haya—kṛṣṇera ‘nitya-dāsa’
[Cc. Madhya 20.108]
10
00:01:13,007 --> 00:01:14,882
Hare Kṛṣṇa.
11
00:01:14,883 --> 00:01:21,263
Jaya.
12
00:01:21,264 --> 00:01:22,256
Jaya. [break]
13
00:01:22,257 --> 00:01:28,144
…vantam eva caran nirāntaraṁ

praharsayīśyāmi sanātha-jīvitam
[Stotra-ratna 43]
15
00:01:34,757 --> 00:01:37,845
This is Vaiṣṇava aspiration.
16
00:01:37,846 --> 00:01:41,396
bhavantam evānucaran nirantaraḥ:
[Stotra-ratna 43]
17
00:01:41,397 --> 00:01:47,111
“Twenty-four hours simply
carrying Your orders.”
18
00:01:47,112 --> 00:01:49,690
And you can do it.
19
00:01:49,691 --> 00:01:52,476
“But it is not possible.”
20
00:01:52,477 --> 00:01:55,550
The mind is checking.
21
00:01:55,551 --> 00:01:59,508
praśānta-niḥśeṣa-manorathāntaraḥ
[Stotra-ratna 43]
22
00:01:59,509 --> 00:02:06,499
Unless one’s mind is fixed up, he
cannot become servant of God.
23
00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:09,711
kadāham aikāntika-nitya-kiṅkaraḥ
[Stotra-ratna 43]
24
00:02:09,712 --> 00:02:17,186
“In this way, when I shall be absolutely
Your servant and live very joyfully…”
25
00:02:17,187 --> 00:02:20,675
That “I have got my master.”
26
00:02:20,676 --> 00:02:23,906
This is Yamunacārya’s verse.
27
00:02:23,907 --> 00:02:30,386
bhavantam evānucaran nirantaraḥ
praśānta-niḥśeṣa-manorathāntaraḥ

praharṣayiṣyāmi sanātha-jīvitam
[Stotra-ratna 43]
29
00:02:36,744 --> 00:02:38,154
DR. PATEL: Sanātha-jīva.
30
00:02:38,155 --> 00:02:42,003
They are all anātha-jīvita.
31
00:02:42,004 --> 00:02:53,791
Yes; everyone is
independence and anātha.
32
00:02:53,792 --> 00:03:00,507
There is nātha, but
he’ll not recognize.
33
00:03:00,508 --> 00:03:04,971
Anātha-jīvita.
34
00:03:04,972 --> 00:03:15,934
bhavantam evānucaran nirantaraḥ
praśānta…
[Stotra-ratna 43]
35
00:03:15,935 --> 00:03:22,005
So we are educating people
how to become sanātha-jīvitam.
36
00:03:22,006 --> 00:03:26,766
Live on your master’s…
37
00:03:26,767 --> 00:03:33,017
Everyone is living at the
cost of master, but foolishly.
38
00:03:33,018 --> 00:03:39,583
ahāṅkara-vimūḍhātmā
kartāham iti manyate
[Bg. 3.27]
39
00:03:39,584 --> 00:03:46,876
They are living at the cost of the
master, but they will not accept.
40
00:03:46,877 --> 00:03:52,708
This is the disease. [break]
41
00:03:52,709 --> 00:04:04,510
…natural life: Sanātha-jīvitam; from
the birth the child is sanātha—parents.
42
00:04:04,511 --> 00:04:08,458
Where is the possibility
of living independently?
43
00:04:08,459 --> 00:04:15,690
That’s not possible.
44
00:04:15,691 --> 00:04:20,684
Yamunācārya was śiṣya or
guru of Rāmānujācārya?
45
00:04:20,685 --> 00:04:25,731
- Rāmānujācārya was guru or śiṣya? Guru.
- Yes, guru.
46
00:04:25,732 --> 00:04:29,444
I think Viṣṇuswami
was his śiṣya, eh?
47
00:04:29,445 --> 00:04:33,599
No; Viṣṇuswami-
sampradāya [is] different.
48
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,103
That is Rudra-sampradāya.
49
00:04:37,104 --> 00:04:45,191
And Rāmānujācārya
is Śrī-sampradāya.
50
00:04:45,192 --> 00:04:52,706
The Vallabhācāryas: They
belong to Viṣṇu-sampradāya.
51
00:04:52,707 --> 00:04:56,263
We belong to
Madhva-sampradāya.
52
00:04:56,264 --> 00:05:00,334
Four ācāryas.
53
00:05:00,335 --> 00:05:02,447
YAŚOMATĪNANDANA: Who was
the originator of Śrī-sampradāya?
54
00:05:02,448 --> 00:05:06,578
- Hmm? Lakṣmīji.
- Who was before it?
55
00:05:06,579 --> 00:05:09,992
Pāda-sevanam.
56
00:05:09,993 --> 00:05:15,339
śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ
smaraṇaṁ pāda-sevanam
[SB 7.5.23]
57
00:05:15,340 --> 00:05:25,009
Lakṣmīji is always engaged in
massaging the feet of Lord Viṣṇu.
58
00:05:25,010 --> 00:05:29,334
- Rāmānujācārya is the biggest in line?
- Ahh; yes.
59
00:05:29,335 --> 00:05:34,690
Hare Kṛṣṇa; jaya. [splice]
60
00:05:34,691 --> 00:05:40,921
…thinking, “I am English dog,” and he is
thinking, “I am…” And the man is thinking…
61
00:05:40,922 --> 00:05:42,715
The man is also thinking like that.
62
00:05:42,716 --> 00:05:44,206
What is the difference?
63
00:05:44,207 --> 00:05:46,576
They both… both are animals.
64
00:05:46,577 --> 00:05:48,301
yasyātmā buddhiḥ kuṇape tri-dhātuke
[SB 10.84.13]
65
00:05:48,302 --> 00:05:51,588
That’s right; we have got
a dvija, dvija-karma kriya.
66
00:05:51,589 --> 00:05:54,756
Dvijā-karma-kriya or
what do you call it?
67
00:05:54,757 --> 00:05:59,221
- All the… All are born as animal.
- Saṁskāra.
68
00:05:59,222 --> 00:06:01,969
- Saṁskārād bhaved dvijaḥ.
- Saṁskāra, yes.
69
00:06:01,970 --> 00:06:04,998
Dvija-saṁskāra.
70
00:06:04,999 --> 00:06:10,262
That saṁskāra is now stopped;
therefore, all of them are animals.
71
00:06:10,263 --> 00:06:15,507
Yes. [break]
72
00:06:15,508 --> 00:06:19,054
The murgis, [chickens]
they are in the cowshed?
73
00:06:19,055 --> 00:06:23,804
That man who is looking after
cows; he must be keeping.
74
00:06:23,805 --> 00:06:25,181
For andha [eggs]?
75
00:06:25,182 --> 00:06:27,009
For everything.
76
00:06:27,010 --> 00:06:33,575
- They… Even the…
- Murgis.
77
00:06:33,576 --> 00:06:37,460
Nowadays this meat-eating has
become very widespread in India.
78
00:06:37,461 --> 00:06:42,229
Even brāhmaṇas are
eating meat, huh?
79
00:06:42,230 --> 00:06:45,805
I don’t mean those who have gone to
Europe or America and come back,
80
00:06:45,806 --> 00:06:50,130
but a… others… people who
are staying here even, hmm?
81
00:06:50,131 --> 00:06:52,917
Extremely common.
82
00:06:52,918 --> 00:07:00,066
That is the sign that in very near
future there will be no food grains.
83
00:07:00,067 --> 00:07:02,875
That is the sign.
84
00:07:02,876 --> 00:07:06,786
There will be no rice, no wheat.
85
00:07:06,787 --> 00:07:08,734
Main food grain.
86
00:07:08,735 --> 00:07:12,856
Already in Bombay it’s six,
seven rupees per kilo: rice.
87
00:07:12,857 --> 00:07:13,682
Ācchā?
88
00:07:13,683 --> 00:07:16,165
No, no. now… now rice
will be very much down.
89
00:07:16,166 --> 00:07:18,520
In Gujarat it is two rupees.
90
00:07:18,521 --> 00:07:22,753
I bought some land
here and sown the rice.
91
00:07:22,754 --> 00:07:26,360
We are going to get about eight
hundred or a thousand mounds of rice.
92
00:07:26,361 --> 00:07:31,037
And then we sown the field
it was sixty rupees, rice.
93
00:07:31,038 --> 00:07:33,316
Today it is thirty-two rupees.
94
00:07:33,317 --> 00:07:34,711
It is coming down.
95
00:07:34,712 --> 00:07:41,248
The crop is very good… Very good
everywhere, all over India this year.
96
00:07:41,249 --> 00:07:47,667
- Because there was sufficient rain.
- Very good rain; yes.
97
00:07:47,668 --> 00:07:49,591
Gujarat will be more
than self-sufficient.
98
00:07:49,592 --> 00:07:52,485
It is already the richest
part of this country.
99
00:07:52,486 --> 00:07:53,938
Parjanyāt.
100
00:07:53,939 --> 00:08:00,600

annād bhavati bhūtāni
[Bg. 3.14]
101
00:08:00,601 --> 00:08:01,810
It is…
102
00:08:01,811 --> 00:08:03,635
It is a cycle.
103
00:08:03,636 --> 00:08:07,620
Perform yajña and
everything will come.
104
00:08:07,621 --> 00:08:09,894
They stopped yajña…
105
00:08:09,895 --> 00:08:12,314
Therefore harināma-yajña.
106
00:08:12,315 --> 00:08:15,762
- This is the yajña.
- Viṣṇu… Viṣṇur vai yajñaḥ.
107
00:08:15,763 --> 00:08:20,856
- Viṣṇu Himself is yajña.
- Hm. [break]
108
00:08:20,857 --> 00:08:22,492
DEVOTEE: …who are saying
109
00:08:22,493 --> 00:08:25,903
that it is because of our chanting
twenty-four hours a day
110
00:08:25,904 --> 00:08:28,043
there is more rain this year.
111
00:08:28,044 --> 00:08:30,915
In Hyderabad they also say.
112
00:08:30,916 --> 00:08:33,879
Six or seven years
there was no rain.
113
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,532
Now it is raining.
114
00:08:36,533 --> 00:08:42,674
This is practical. [break]
115
00:08:42,675 --> 00:08:46,357
…yanti bhūtāni.
116
00:08:46,358 --> 00:08:49,292
DEVOTEE IN DISTANCE: Haribol!
- Hare Kṛṣṇa; jaya.
117
00:08:49,293 --> 00:08:51,945
- Who is that; [indistinct]?
- Yes. [splice]
118
00:08:51,946 --> 00:08:54,183
Not for sense gratification.
119
00:08:54,184 --> 00:08:56,444
Then you will suffer.
120
00:08:56,445 --> 00:09:02,436
They are all working for sense
gratification; not Yajñārthe.

brahmākṣara-samudbhavam
[Bg 3.15]
127
00:09:26,798 --> 00:09:29,969
That means karma as ordained by
the scriptures, brahmodbhavam.
128
00:09:29,970 --> 00:09:32,199
Yes, that is karma.
129
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,507
Otherwise vikarma.
130
00:09:34,508 --> 00:09:36,404
But they are doing vikarma.
131
00:09:36,405 --> 00:09:43,810
nūnaṁ pramattaḥ kurute vikarma
yad indriya-prītaya āpṛṇoti
[SB 5.5.4]
132
00:09:43,811 --> 00:09:48,975
This is vikarma: Anyone working hard
day and night for sense gratification.
133
00:09:48,976 --> 00:09:53,180
That means sinful: Vikarma.
134
00:09:53,181 --> 00:09:56,266
And if you don’t do the
ordained [indistinct] akarma.
135
00:09:56,267 --> 00:09:57,888
- No.
- It is akarma.
136
00:09:57,889 --> 00:10:01,038
Karma means according
to the śāstra’s direction.
137
00:10:01,039 --> 00:10:03,635
But if you don’t do that,
that becomes akarma.
138
00:10:03,636 --> 00:10:04,682
Vikarma.
139
00:10:04,683 --> 00:10:08,742
[Hindi] Akarma means…
140
00:10:08,743 --> 00:10:11,331
- [Hindi]
- Akarma [indistinct]; yes.
141
00:10:11,332 --> 00:10:14,727
Akarma means no resultant action.
142
00:10:14,728 --> 00:10:16,999
When it is done for Viṣṇu…
143
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,926
- Then it becomes akarma… Akarma.
- Akarma.
144
00:10:21,927 --> 00:10:25,495
But the… The akarma… A the…
145
00:10:25,496 --> 00:10:33,685
This bhāṣya of Rāmānujācārya: He
say akarma means knowledge.
146
00:10:33,686 --> 00:10:35,201
- Yes.
- And karma means…
147
00:10:35,202 --> 00:10:36,551
- And karma means…
- Knowledge…
148
00:10:36,552 --> 00:10:40,852
That is knowledge that, “I have to
work for Viṣṇu;” that is knowledge.
149
00:10:40,853 --> 00:10:48,343
- Akarma means knowledge. [indistinct]
- Yes.
150
00:10:48,344 --> 00:10:55,153
Hare Kṛṣṇa.
