RC DEL 1973-11-01 These Miseries Will Follow You
ANNOUNCER: The following is a conversation,
with His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda,
recorded on the 1st of November, 1973 in Delhi, India.
PRABHUPĀDA: …gatvā duḥkhānusaṅgaminaḥ. [?]
There is misery.
Even you go to the Moon planet… This is Bhāgavata.
Before going to your Moon planet here is the information:
“Anywhere you go rascal these things will follow,
janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi and inconveniences.
You’ll have to suffer.”
So one is he… One who is intelligent, then, “Where shall I find real happiness?”
Oh that is Kṛṣṇa.
Therefore one requires to be very, very intelligent to become Kṛṣṇa conscious.
Sarva, sarvatra bhasananvita [?].
The Śrīdhara Svāmī gives note, sarvatra lokāntare ’pi [?].
Even if you go to other planets…
Now these rascals are going now, trying, not going.
And the Bhāgavata says, lokāntare ’pi.
Even in other planets.
Therefore, they were going in other planets.
Otherwise how it is stated, lokāntare, “in other planets also?”
From the statement it appears that people used to go.
And here, Arjuna went to heavenly planet.
And there the…
She’s prostitute.
So when Arjuna refused, that…
- His father is Indra… BRAHMĀNANDA: Yes.
So Arjuna said that “You have connection with my father.
Therefore you are my mother.”
ŚRUTAKĪRTI: You mentioned him in the Caitanya-caritāmṛta purport.
When one yogi was performing severe austerities,
Lord Indra would send the dancing girls.
- They were called… PRABHUPĀDA: Yes. Apsarās.
Yes.
- He would send… - The same thing here.
Just like prostitute, they are going to the club.
The father is going also; the son is going.
And the prostitute is the same.
Everywhere, this material happiness, wine, women…
I think there this… That boy, Ranchor, his father…
“You leave Kṛṣṇa consciousness and I will give you a car and women.”
Yes.
Your father also said like that.
Here father will feel shame to advise the son,
or the son will feel shame to talk about sex with father or mother.
Yes.
About sex one can talk with friends, not with father and mother.
But in western countries it is very open talk.
And open business also.
Sarvatra.
Sarvatra lokāntare ’pi vasanavagatya iha duḥkhānusaṅghanena nivṛtta-kāma [?].
So one should give up this material sense gratification.
The more you become entangled in material sense gratification,
more you’ll have to remain in this material world.
Iti tiprokti malakam uktaṁ kāma karma prokta gena iti,
ahaṁ deva upasya yesantai saṅghata
nirvaira adrstitvaṁ samyag anvasya duḥkha,
sukha-duḥkha eva, sukha-duḥkha…[?].
Vīrarāghavācārya: Deha-geha-gehayoḥ ātmiya buddhiḥ jihasaya tyāgecchāya [?].
Ātma-buddhi, this family, society, friendship and love.
Yes.
Feel very much affection… What is called?
Attached; tyāgecchā; it should be given up.
Therefore the sannyāsa āśrama.
Just try to deliver this message.
Everyone is in darkness.
Therefore I was speaking.
They do not know what is siddhi.
- Yesterday, you were present? Yes? - Oh, yes.
They do not know what is siddhi.
What is perfection of life, they do not know.
Neither they have information.
Simply they talk about it.
All foolish.
andhā yathāndhair upanīyamānāḥ [SB 7.5.31]
Blind man leading other blind men.
There is no sense.
Whole civilization, it is…
This Kṛṣṇa [consciousness] movement is a challenge to everyone,
a challenge, genuine challenge.
After all, everyone wants happiness, but they do not know what is happiness.
Sarvatra vyasanad apy atra… [?].
Now here, as soon as we came, we thought it very nice, and immediately…
So many things.
Vyasanad apy atra.
Wherever you go, even though you found it is very convenient, very nice,
you must know there is, there is inconvenience.
Don’t be so sure that it is full of nice things.
No.
That is not possible.
Sarvatra vyasanad api [?].
