ANNOUNCER: Next is a class
on the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam,
2
00:00:06,367 --> 00:00:09,971
6th canto, 1st chapter,
text number 19,
3
00:00:09,972 --> 00:00:15,934
given by His Divine Grace
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda,
4
00:00:15,935 --> 00:00:24,189
recorded on July 2nd,
1975, in Denver, Colorado.
5
00:00:24,190 --> 00:00:27,449
NITĀI: “Those who have given
up all varieties of religiosity
6
00:00:27,450 --> 00:00:32,609
and who have surrendered to Kṛṣṇa alone
by fixing their minds on His lotus feet,
7
00:00:32,610 --> 00:00:34,784
may not have fully realized Him.
8
00:00:34,785 --> 00:00:37,179
But due to their simply
surrendering unto Him,
9
00:00:37,180 --> 00:00:42,239
they have become attached to His
name, fame, quality, and pastimes.
10
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:47,539
By such surrender they have become
completely purified of all sinful reactions,
11
00:00:47,540 --> 00:00:51,720
although they may not have
accepted the principles of atonement.
12
00:00:51,721 --> 00:00:56,345
Even in dreams such a surrendered
soul does not see Yamarāja,
13
00:00:56,346 --> 00:01:04,860
or his order carriers equipped with
ropes for binding sinful men.”
14
00:01:04,861 --> 00:01:15,820
PRABHUPĀDA:
sakṛn manaḥ kṛṣṇa-padāravindayor
niveśitaṁ tad-guṇa-rāgi yair iha
15
00:01:15,821 --> 00:01:27,330
na te yamaṁ pāśa-bhṛtaś ca tad-bhaṭān
svapne ’pi paśyanti hi cīrṇa-niṣkṛtāḥ
[SB 6.1.19]
16
00:01:27,331 --> 00:01:40,370
So this is the profit of
Kṛṣṇa conscious person.
17
00:01:40,371 --> 00:01:56,590
Kṛṣṇa is so attractive that if anyone
only once has fully applied his mind,
18
00:01:56,591 --> 00:02:01,375
in thinking of Kṛṣṇa
and surrendering,
19
00:02:01,376 --> 00:02:13,490
then he becomes immediately saved from
all miserable condition of this material life.
20
00:02:13,491 --> 00:02:16,530
So that is our perfection of life.
21
00:02:16,531 --> 00:02:24,440
Somehow or other, we surrender
to the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa.
22
00:02:24,441 --> 00:02:30,620
So here it is stressed, sakṛt;
sakṛt means “only once.”
23
00:02:30,621 --> 00:02:40,350
So if so much profit is there, simply once
thinking of Kṛṣṇa, then we can imagine,
24
00:02:40,351 --> 00:02:46,265
those who are always
engaged in thinking of Kṛṣṇa,
25
00:02:46,266 --> 00:02:55,400
by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra,
what is their position; they are very safe.
26
00:02:55,401 --> 00:02:57,980
So much so that it is said,
27
00:02:57,981 --> 00:03:06,410
na te yamaṁ pāśa-bhṛtaś ca tad-bhaṭān
svapne ’pi paśyanti
[SB 6.1.19]
28
00:03:06,411 --> 00:03:10,416
Svapna means dreaming.
29
00:03:10,417 --> 00:03:15,171
Dreaming is false.
30
00:03:15,172 --> 00:03:19,066
To see the Yamadūtas,
31
00:03:19,067 --> 00:03:27,082
or the carriers of order of
Yamarāja, superintendent of death,
32
00:03:27,083 --> 00:03:36,631
to see face to face… At the time of
death, when one very sinful man is dying,
33
00:03:36,632 --> 00:03:46,351
he sees the Yamarāja or the order carriers
of Yamarāja, they are very fierce looking.
34
00:03:46,352 --> 00:03:54,261
Sometimes the man on the deathbed
becomes very much fearful, cries,
35
00:03:54,262 --> 00:03:56,300
“Save me, save me.”
36
00:03:56,301 --> 00:04:07,821
This also happened to Ajāmila, and that
is the story we shall narrate later on.
37
00:04:07,822 --> 00:04:16,781
But he was saved, for his past activities
in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he was saved.
38
00:04:16,782 --> 00:04:20,744
That story we shall get later on.
39
00:04:20,745 --> 00:04:31,002
So this is the safest position, otherwise
this material world is full of danger.
40
00:04:31,003 --> 00:04:34,242
It is dangerous place.
41
00:04:34,243 --> 00:04:39,392
It is said in the Bhagavad-
gītā, duḥkhālayam.
42
00:04:39,393 --> 00:04:43,272
It is the place of miseries.
43
00:04:43,273 --> 00:04:52,902
You cannot become happy in a
place which is meant for miseries.
44
00:04:52,903 --> 00:04:57,822
That we have to understand.
45
00:04:57,823 --> 00:05:04,732
Kṛṣṇa says, the Supreme Personality,
that duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam [Bg. 8.15]:
46
00:05:04,733 --> 00:05:11,627
this material world is a place
of miserable condition.
47
00:05:11,628 --> 00:05:17,892
And that also aśāśvatam,
not permanent.
48
00:05:17,893 --> 00:05:19,129
You cannot stay.
49
00:05:19,130 --> 00:05:23,176
Even if you make a
compromise that,
50
00:05:23,177 --> 00:05:32,682
“Never mind it is place of misery, I shall
make adjustment and I shall stay here…”
51
00:05:32,683 --> 00:05:38,543
People are so much attached
in this material world,
52
00:05:38,544 --> 00:05:43,822
I have got practical
example, eh, experience.
53
00:05:43,823 --> 00:05:55,802
In 1958 or ’57, when I
first published this book,
54
00:05:55,803 --> 00:06:02,202
Easy Journey to Other Planets,
so I met one gentleman.
55
00:06:02,203 --> 00:06:08,342
He was very enthusiastic, “So
we can go to other planet?
56
00:06:08,343 --> 00:06:10,712
You are giving such information?”
57
00:06:10,713 --> 00:06:18,402
“Yes, and if you go, you
will not come back.”
58
00:06:18,403 --> 00:06:24,989
“No, no, then I don’t want to go.”
59
00:06:24,990 --> 00:06:32,808
He said, the whole idea is, that
we shall go another planet,
60
00:06:32,809 --> 00:06:37,381
just like they are making the fun,
they are going to moon planet,
61
00:06:37,382 --> 00:06:39,485
but they could not stay there.
62
00:06:39,486 --> 00:06:43,133
They’re coming back, that
is scientific advancement.
63
00:06:43,134 --> 00:06:48,183
And if you go there, why
don’t you stay there?
64
00:06:48,184 --> 00:06:54,673
And I read the newspaper that
when the Russian aeronautics went,
65
00:06:54,674 --> 00:07:01,763
they were looking down,
“Where is Moscow?”
66
00:07:01,764 --> 00:07:05,831
So our attachment is so strong.
67
00:07:05,832 --> 00:07:08,965
That even it is duḥkhālayam…
68
00:07:08,966 --> 00:07:20,033
Just like some hogs, they are living
in filthy place and eating stool.
69
00:07:20,034 --> 00:07:24,336
And if you say that,
70
00:07:24,337 --> 00:07:30,829
“I will take you somewhere else, a good
place,” then they will not go there.
71
00:07:30,830 --> 00:07:35,218
This happened, it is stated
in the Bhāgavata that once,
72
00:07:35,219 --> 00:07:41,923
the king of heaven, he was
cursed to become hog.
73
00:07:41,924 --> 00:07:46,626
And he was living
amongst the hog society.
74
00:07:46,627 --> 00:07:51,758
And when Lord Brahmā
came to call him back, that
75
00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:57,189
“Mr. such and such, for your
bad behavior you became hog.
76
00:07:57,190 --> 00:08:01,511
Now come back to
heaven,” so he refused.
77
00:08:01,512 --> 00:08:06,885
“No, I have got so much
responsibility, I cannot go.”
78
00:08:06,886 --> 00:08:08,162
You see?
79
00:08:08,163 --> 00:08:12,960
This is material… It is
called māyā, illusion.
80
00:08:12,961 --> 00:08:18,113
Even you are in the most
abominable condition of life,
81
00:08:18,114 --> 00:08:23,524
we will feel, “Now
we are very happy.”
82
00:08:23,525 --> 00:08:32,184
So that is our position, we do
not want to leave this place.
83
00:08:32,185 --> 00:08:37,414
Therefore we create nationalism,
Communism, this “ism,” that “ism,”
84
00:08:37,415 --> 00:08:43,254
because we want to
stay here permanently.
85
00:08:43,255 --> 00:08:51,984
But unfortunately nobody will be
allowed to stay, even if you want to stay.
86
00:08:51,985 --> 00:08:58,692
That is the miserable condition of material
life, duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam [Bg. 8.15]
87
00:08:58,693 --> 00:09:05,134
So we have to leave this place;
and when we leave, then,
88
00:09:05,135 --> 00:09:15,424
according to our proportion of sinful
or pious activities, we get next body.
89
00:09:15,425 --> 00:09:21,535
So those who are very, very
sinful, they go to the hellish
90
00:09:21,536 --> 00:09:24,494
condition of life, the planets.
91
00:09:24,495 --> 00:09:27,074
They are down this universe.
92
00:09:27,075 --> 00:09:31,803
There is the kingdom
of Pluto, or Yamarāja,
93
00:09:31,804 --> 00:09:38,503
and he comes at the time of
death, and the sinful man…
94
00:09:38,504 --> 00:09:47,047
[Yamaraja] …is very, very fierceful,
odd looking, and they come to take.
95
00:09:47,048 --> 00:09:52,972
So here it is said that one who
has once surrendered to Kṛṣṇa,
96
00:09:52,973 --> 00:09:56,134
for them, there is no such fear.
97
00:09:56,135 --> 00:10:04,324
Even in dream they will not see the
order-carriers of Yamarāja, or Yamarāja.
98
00:10:04,325 --> 00:10:13,765
So the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is
giving this benefit to the human society.
99
00:10:13,766 --> 00:10:19,565
It is very easy, not difficult,
without any condition.
100
00:10:19,566 --> 00:10:25,922
You simply chant and
remember Kṛṣṇa.
101
00:10:25,923 --> 00:10:27,365
It is not at all difficult.
102
00:10:27,366 --> 00:10:34,337
Everyone can… Here you are
seeing the Deity of Kṛṣṇa.
103
00:10:34,338 --> 00:10:41,285
So while chanting, if you remember
this Deity, is it very difficult?
104
00:10:41,286 --> 00:10:46,785
We are opening these
centers, giving this education,
105
00:10:46,786 --> 00:10:52,235
and from śāstras, all
information we are giving.
106
00:10:52,236 --> 00:10:55,649
So you take advantage of it.
107
00:10:55,650 --> 00:10:58,365
Don’t spoil life.
108
00:10:58,366 --> 00:11:02,275
labdhvā sudurlabham idaṁ bahu-sambhavānte
[SB 11.09.29]
109
00:11:02,276 --> 00:11:09,955
This human form of life is obtained
after many, many millions of years.
110
00:11:09,956 --> 00:11:14,368
We have to come through
the evolutionary process,
111
00:11:14,369 --> 00:11:22,326
from aquatics to plants,
trees, insects, serpents,
112
00:11:22,327 --> 00:11:28,118
birds, beasts; in this way we have
come to this human form of life.
113
00:11:28,119 --> 00:11:33,065
And in this life, we
can hear about Kṛṣṇa,
114
00:11:33,066 --> 00:11:40,265
think about Kṛṣṇa, see Kṛṣṇa’s
Deity, so many opportunities.
115
00:11:40,266 --> 00:11:46,355
And if you take this opportunity,
be accustomed to think of Kṛṣṇa…
116
00:11:46,356 --> 00:11:51,945
When we speak of Kṛṣṇa, means
God; Kṛṣṇa is the God, Supreme.
117
00:11:51,946 --> 00:11:56,060
kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam
[SB 1.3.28]
118
00:11:56,061 --> 00:11:59,475
Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme
Personality of Godhead.
119
00:11:59,476 --> 00:12:08,455
So Kṛṣṇa has very kindly agreed to come
to your city, Denver city, this temple.
120
00:12:08,456 --> 00:12:10,736
Take advantage of it.
121
00:12:10,737 --> 00:12:17,286
Come daily, see Kṛṣṇa, think
of Kṛṣṇa, chant Hare Kṛṣṇa,
122
00:12:17,287 --> 00:12:22,206
take Kṛṣṇa’s prasādam, and be
happy, this is our movement.
123
00:12:22,207 --> 00:12:27,706
We want to see that everyone is
happy, that is the Vedic vision.
124
00:12:27,707 --> 00:12:32,576
Sarve sukhino bhavantu, (everyone
become happy), this is human life.
125
00:12:32,577 --> 00:12:36,196
Human life means paropakāra.
126
00:12:36,197 --> 00:12:44,096
That is Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s mission,
to do others something auspicious.
127
00:12:44,097 --> 00:12:45,906
That is human life.
128
00:12:45,907 --> 00:12:53,726
The animal life means do…, “For my
good, I will do harm to many others.”
129
00:12:53,727 --> 00:12:56,937
That is animal life.
130
00:12:56,938 --> 00:13:05,163
So this is not life, the human life,
that for our sense gratification,
131
00:13:05,164 --> 00:13:10,752
we are killing so many animals, we are
doing so many mischievous things,
132
00:13:10,753 --> 00:13:13,816
we are cheating others.
133
00:13:13,817 --> 00:13:19,076
We can do that, but we are becoming
more and more implicated.
134
00:13:19,077 --> 00:13:23,700
At the time of death the
Yamarāja will come and take us,
135
00:13:23,701 --> 00:13:25,366
to the hellish condition.
136
00:13:25,367 --> 00:13:32,836
Therefore foolish people they want
to forget that there is next life.
137
00:13:32,837 --> 00:13:35,627
No, there is next life.
138
00:13:35,628 --> 00:13:37,816
We are discussing every day.
139
00:13:37,817 --> 00:13:43,196
Next life is there, we are every
moment getting a different body.
140
00:13:43,197 --> 00:13:46,062
This is the scientific study.
141
00:13:46,063 --> 00:13:50,256
I do not know why they
cannot understand.
142
00:13:50,257 --> 00:13:51,990
This is biology.
143
00:13:51,991 --> 00:13:56,676
Biology means we are, every
moment we are getting a new body.
144
00:13:56,677 --> 00:13:59,526
This is biology.
145
00:13:59,527 --> 00:14:06,007
So we have to give up this body and
we have to accept another body.
146
00:14:06,008 --> 00:14:16,797
So labor or work for such body
which will no more be material body.
147
00:14:16,798 --> 00:14:23,857
This is intelligence, mad-
yājino ’pi yānti mām. [Bg 9.25]
148
00:14:23,858 --> 00:14:28,552
Next body means as we are acting,
149
00:14:28,553 --> 00:14:35,317
according to the resultant action
of our activities we get next body.
150
00:14:35,318 --> 00:14:41,147
karmaṇā daiva-netreṇa
jantur deha upapattaye
[SB 3.31.1]
151
00:14:41,148 --> 00:14:43,464
How you get next life?
152
00:14:43,465 --> 00:14:47,797
In this life we are
acting in a certain way,
153
00:14:47,798 --> 00:14:54,612
and by nature we shall
get a similar body.
154
00:14:54,613 --> 00:15:03,613
Nature’s law is so perfect that
the law you… Just like infection.
155
00:15:03,614 --> 00:15:05,619
I have several times explained.
156
00:15:05,620 --> 00:15:11,512
You infect some disease,
the disease will come out.
157
00:15:11,513 --> 00:15:14,577
Not that somebody will come
to award you the disease.
158
00:15:14,578 --> 00:15:17,891
By nature’s way, it will come out.
159
00:15:17,892 --> 00:15:21,887
If you say that “Somebody
will come,” no.
160
00:15:21,888 --> 00:15:26,230
The nature’s law is so perfect.
161
00:15:26,231 --> 00:15:30,194
Just like if you touch fire,
immediately it will burn,
162
00:15:30,195 --> 00:15:32,540
not that you have to wait.
163
00:15:32,541 --> 00:15:33,937
Similarly, nature’s law.
164
00:15:33,938 --> 00:15:36,567
It is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā,
165
00:15:36,568 --> 00:15:40,497
prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni
guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśaḥ
[Bg. 3.27]
166
00:15:40,498 --> 00:15:45,237
As you are associating with
different modes of material nature,
167
00:15:45,238 --> 00:15:49,509
you are creating your future.
168
00:15:49,510 --> 00:15:53,777
So there is future life,
you should take it.
169
00:15:53,778 --> 00:15:57,358
You should try to understand
it, it is not very difficult,
170
00:15:57,359 --> 00:16:02,028
but by the modern education we
have become so dull-headed,
171
00:16:02,029 --> 00:16:08,628
we cannot understand the simple truth
that we have to change this body.
172
00:16:08,629 --> 00:16:11,878
vāsāṁsi jīrṇāni yathā vihāya
[Bg. 2.22]
173
00:16:11,879 --> 00:16:16,104
So this is a fact, you take it.
174
00:16:16,105 --> 00:16:22,696
So we must have the next life
at least without any danger.
175
00:16:22,697 --> 00:16:25,668
Not to go to the hellish planet.
176
00:16:25,669 --> 00:16:30,628
At least remain in this
planet, that we can do.
177
00:16:30,629 --> 00:16:34,018
yānti bhūtāni bhūtejyā
[Bg 9.25]
178
00:16:34,019 --> 00:16:38,600
If you want to stick to
this planet or this world,
179
00:16:38,601 --> 00:16:41,808
that also you can get the facility.
180
00:16:41,809 --> 00:16:46,168
And if you want to go to the higher
planets, that also you can get.
181
00:16:46,169 --> 00:16:51,478
And if you go to the hellish planet,
that also the possibility is there.
182
00:16:51,479 --> 00:16:55,988
And if you want to go to Kṛṣṇa, that
possibility is also there… [break]
183
00:16:55,989 --> 00:16:59,268
…yānti mad-yājino
’pi mām [Bg 9.25]
184
00:16:59,269 --> 00:17:05,408
So we are creating a situation
by our activities, our next life.
185
00:17:05,409 --> 00:17:07,025
This is the fact.
186
00:17:07,026 --> 00:17:11,132
So why not work for
going back to Kṛṣṇa?
187
00:17:11,133 --> 00:17:13,488
This is intelligence.
188
00:17:13,489 --> 00:17:17,868
So what is the benefit
of going to Kṛṣṇa?
189
00:17:17,869 --> 00:17:21,378
yad gatvā na nivartante
tad dhāma paramam
[Bg. 15.6]
190
00:17:21,379 --> 00:17:26,568
You won’t have to again come back
and accept this material body. [splice]
191
00:17:26,569 --> 00:17:32,849
So if we go on with this
habit, Kṛṣṇa consciousness,
192
00:17:32,850 --> 00:17:36,338
then our position is very secure,
193
00:17:36,339 --> 00:17:42,544
and keep yourself in that
secure position rigidly.
194
00:17:42,545 --> 00:17:44,549
Then your life is successful.
195
00:17:44,550 --> 00:17:54,392
Thank you very much.
196
00:17:54,393 --> 00:17:54,394
