TRANSLATION

"Actually your body is transcendental, never material. You are thinking of it, however, in terms of a material conception.

PURPORT

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura gives his opinion about how a person completely engaged in the service of the Lord transforms his body from material to transcendental. He says: "A pure devotee engaged in the service of Lord Krsna has no desire for his personal sense gratification, and thus he never accepts anything for that purpose. He desires only the happiness of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, and because of his ecstatic love for Krsna, he acts in various ways. Karmis think that the material body is an instrument for material enjoyment, and that is why they work extremely hard. A devotee, however, has no such desires. A devotee always engages wholeheartedly in the service of the Lord, forgetting about bodily conceptions and bodily activities. The body of a karmi is called material because the karmi, being too absorbed in material activities, is always eager to enjoy material facilities, but the body of a devotee who tries his best to work very hard for the satisfaction of Krsna by fully engaging in the Lord’s service must be accepted as transcendental. Whereas karmis are interested only in the personal satisfaction of their senses, devotees work for the satisfaction of the Supreme Lord. Therefore one who cannot distinguish between devotion and ordinary karma may mistakenly consider the body of a pure devotee material. One who knows does not commit such a mistake. Nondevotees who consider devotional activities and ordinary material activities to be on the same level are offenders to the chanting of the transcendental holy name of the Lord. A pure devotee knows that a devotee’s body, being always transcendental, is just suitable for rendering service to the Lord.

A devotee on the topmost platform of devotional service always humbly thinks that he is not rendering any devotional service. He thinks that he is poor in devotional service and that his body is material. On the other hand, those known as the sahajiyas foolishly think that their material bodies are transcendental. Because of this, they are always bereft of the association of pure devotees, and thus they cannot behave like Vaisnavas. Observing the defects of the sahajiyas, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura has sung as follows in his book Kalyana-kalpa-taru:

ami ta’ vaisnava, e-buddhi ha-ile,
amani na haba ami
pratisthasa asi’, hrdaya dusibe,
ha-iba niraya-gami

nije srestha jani’, ucchistadi-dane,
habe abhimana bhara
tai sisya tava, thakiya sarvada,
na la-iba puja kara

Antya4.174

TEXT 174

SYNONYMS

prakrta—material; haile ha—even if it were; tomara—your; vapu—body; nari—I cannot; upeksite—neglect; bhadra-abhadra—good and bad; vastu-jnana—appreciation of things; nahika—there is not; prakrte—in the material world.

TRANSLATION

"Even if your body were material, I still could not neglect it, for the material body should be considered neither good nor bad.

PURPORT

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu told Sanatana Gosvami, "Since you are a Vaisnava, your body is spiritual, not material. Therefore you should not consider this body to be subjected to superior or inferior qualities. Moreover, I am a sannyasi. Therefore even if your body were material, a sannyasi should see no distinction between a good body and a bad body.

TRANSLATION

" ’Anything not conceived in relationship to Krsna should be understood to be illusion [maya]. None of the illusions uttered by words or conceived in the mind are factual. Because illusion is not factual, there is no distinction between what we think is good and what we think is bad. When we speak of the Absolute Truth, such speculations do not apply.’

This is a quotation from Srimad-Bhagavatam (11.28.4).

Antya4.176

’dvaite’ bhadrabhadra-jnana, saba--’manodharma’

SYNONYMS

dvaite—in the material world; bhadra-abhadra-jnana—understanding of good and bad; saba—all; manah-dharma—speculative mental creations; ei bhala—this is good; ei manda—this is bad; ei—this; saba—all; bhrama—mistake.

TRANSLATION

"In the material world, conceptions of good and bad are all mental speculations. Therefore, saying, ’This is good, and this is bad,’ is all a mistake.

PURPORT

Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the Absolute Truth, ever existing with different varieties of energies. When one is absorbed in the illusory energy of Krsna and cannot understand Krsna, one cannot ascertain what is good and bad for him. Conceptions of good and bad are all imaginations or mental speculations. When one forgets that he is an eternal servant of Krsna, he wants to enjoy the material world through different plans. At that time he distinguishes between material plans that are good and those that are bad. Actually, however, they are all false.

TRANSLATION

"Since I am in the renounced order, My duty is to make no distinctions but instead be equipoised. My knowledge must be equally disposed toward sandalwood pulp and dirty mud.

PURPORT

It is the duty of a sannyasi, a person in the renounced order, to be always equipoised, and that is also the duty of a learned man and a Vaisnava. A Vaisnava, a sannyasi or a learned person has no conception of the material world; in other words, he has no conception of anything materially important. He has no desire to use sandalwood pulp for sense gratification, nor does sense gratification make him hate mud. Acceptance or rejection of material things is not the concern of a sannyasi, a Vaisnava or a learned person. An advanced devotee has no desire to enjoy or reject anything. His only duty is to accept whatever is favorable for the advancement of Krsna consciousness. A Vaisnava should be indifferent to material enjoyment and renunciation and should always hanker for the spiritual life of rendering service to the Lord.

TRANSLATION

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, "The body of a devotee is never material. It is considered to be transcendental, full of spiritual bliss.

PURPORT

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is trying to convince Haridasa Thakura and Sanatana Gosvami that a devotee whose life is dedicated to the service of the Lord is never in the material conception. Because he always engages in the service of the Lord, his body is transcendental and full of spiritual bliss. His body should never be considered material, just as the body of the Deity worshiped in the temple is never considered to be made of stone or wood. Factually, the Deity is directly the Supreme Personality of Godhead, without a doubt. The injunctions of the Padma Purana therefore state: arcye visnau siladhir gurusu nara-matir vaisnave jati-buddhih. ..yasya va naraki sah. The Deity worshiped in the temple is never stone or wood. Similarly, the body of a Vaisnava fully dedicated to the service of the Lord is never considered to belong to the material modes of nature.

" ’The living entity who is subjected to birth and death, when he gives up all material activities dedicating his life to Me for executing My order, and thus acts according to My direction, at that time he reaches the platform of immortality, and becomes fit to enjoy the spiritual bliss of exchange of loving mellows with Me.’

PURPORT

This is a quotation from Srimad-Bhagavatam (11.29.34). At the time of initiation, a devotee gives up all his material conceptions. Therefore, being in touch with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he is situated on the transcendental platform. Thus having attained knowledge and the spiritual platform, he always engages in the service of the spiritual body of Krsna. When one is freed from material connections in this way, his body immediately becomes spiritual, and Krsna accepts His service. However, Krsna does not accept anything from a person with a material conception of life. When a devotee no longer has any desire for material sense gratification, in his spiritual identity he engages in the service of the Lord, for his dormant spiritual consciousness awakens. This awakening of spiritual consciousness makes his body spiritual, and thus he becomes fit to render service to the Lord. Karmis may consider the body of a devotee material, but factually it is not, for a devotee has no conception of material enjoyment. If one thinks that the body of a pure devotee is material, he is an offender, for that is a vaisnava-aparadha. In this connection one should consult Srila Sanatana Gosvami’s Brhad-bhagavatamrta (1.3.45 and 2.3.139).

“Sanatana Gosvami is one of the associates of Krsna. There could not be any bad odor from his body. On the first day I embraced him, I smelled the aroma of catuhsama [a mixture of sandalwood pulp, camphor, aguru and musk].”

PURPORT

An associate of the Lord is one whose body is fully engaged in the service of the Lord. A materialist might see Sanatana Gosvami’s body as being full of itching sores that exuded foul moisture and a bad smell. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, however, said that actually the aroma of his body was the excellent scent of a mixture of sandalwood pulp, camphor, musk and aguru. In the Garuda Purana this mixture, which is called catuhsama, is described as follows:

kasturikaya dvau bhagau
catvaras candanasya tu
kunkumasya trayas caikah
sasinah syat catuhsamam

“Two parts of musk, four parts of sandalwood, three parts of aguru or saffron and one part of camphor, when mixed together, form catuhsama.” The aroma of catuhsama is very pleasing. It is also mentioned in the Hari-bhakti-vilasa (6.115).
