RC DEL 1973-11-01 These Miseries Will Follow You
1
00:00:15,671 --> 00:00:17,843
ANNOUNCER: The
following is a conversation,
2
00:00:17,844 --> 00:00:23,406
with His Divine Grace
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda,
3
00:00:23,407 --> 00:00:46,797
recorded on the 1st of
November, 1973 in Delhi, India.
4
00:00:46,798 --> 00:00:49,866
PRABHUPĀDA: …gatvā
duḥkhānusaṅgaminaḥ. [?]
5
00:00:49,867 --> 00:00:51,718
There is misery.
6
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:54,972
Even you go to the Moon
planet… This is Bhāgavata.
7
00:00:54,973 --> 00:00:58,210
Before going to your Moon
planet here is the information:
8
00:00:58,211 --> 00:01:02,046
“Anywhere you go rascal
these things will follow,
9
00:01:02,047 --> 00:01:06,024
janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi
and inconveniences.
10
00:01:06,025 --> 00:01:09,132
You’ll have to suffer.”
11
00:01:09,133 --> 00:01:14,375
So one is he… One who is intelligent,
then, “Where shall I find real happiness?”
12
00:01:14,376 --> 00:01:16,295
Oh that is Kṛṣṇa.
13
00:01:16,296 --> 00:01:20,598
Therefore one requires to be very, very
intelligent to become Kṛṣṇa conscious.
14
00:01:20,599 --> 00:01:23,603
Sarva, sarvatra bhasananvita [?].
15
00:01:23,604 --> 00:01:30,064
The Śrīdhara Svāmī gives
note, sarvatra lokāntare ’pi [?].
16
00:01:30,065 --> 00:01:32,550
Even if you go to other planets…
17
00:01:32,551 --> 00:01:37,281
Now these rascals are going
now, trying, not going.
18
00:01:37,282 --> 00:01:39,771
And the Bhāgavata
says, lokāntare ’pi.
19
00:01:39,772 --> 00:01:40,643
Even in other planets.
20
00:01:40,644 --> 00:01:43,810
Therefore, they were
going in other planets.
21
00:01:43,811 --> 00:01:48,728
Otherwise how it is stated,
lokāntare, “in other planets also?”
22
00:01:48,729 --> 00:01:51,841
From the statement it appears
that people used to go.
23
00:01:51,842 --> 00:01:56,610
And here, Arjuna went
to heavenly planet.
24
00:01:56,611 --> 00:01:59,918
And there the…
25
00:01:59,919 --> 00:02:02,957
She’s prostitute.
26
00:02:02,958 --> 00:02:06,951
So when Arjuna refused, that…
27
00:02:06,952 --> 00:02:10,650
- His father is Indra…
BRAHMĀNANDA: Yes.
28
00:02:10,651 --> 00:02:13,985
So Arjuna said that “You have
connection with my father.
29
00:02:13,986 --> 00:02:17,018
Therefore you are my mother.”
30
00:02:17,019 --> 00:02:20,914
ŚRUTAKĪRTI: You mentioned him in
the Caitanya-caritāmṛta purport.
31
00:02:20,915 --> 00:02:24,794
When one yogi was
performing severe austerities,
32
00:02:24,795 --> 00:02:28,394
Lord Indra would send
the dancing girls.
33
00:02:28,395 --> 00:02:30,783
- They were called…
PRABHUPĀDA: Yes. Apsarās.
34
00:02:30,784 --> 00:02:32,150
Yes.
35
00:02:32,151 --> 00:02:34,812
- He would send…
- The same thing here.
36
00:02:34,813 --> 00:02:39,557
Just like prostitute, they
are going to the club.
37
00:02:39,558 --> 00:02:42,477
The father is going
also; the son is going.
38
00:02:42,478 --> 00:02:44,371
And the prostitute is the same.
39
00:02:44,372 --> 00:02:49,898
Everywhere, this material
happiness, wine, women…
40
00:02:49,899 --> 00:02:54,041
I think there this… That
boy, Ranchor, his father…
41
00:02:54,042 --> 00:02:58,143
“You leave Kṛṣṇa consciousness and
I will give you a car and women.”
42
00:02:58,144 --> 00:02:59,133
Yes.
43
00:02:59,134 --> 00:03:05,773
Your father also said like that.
44
00:03:05,774 --> 00:03:10,432
Here father will feel
shame to advise the son,
45
00:03:10,433 --> 00:03:15,247
or the son will feel shame to talk
about sex with father or mother.
46
00:03:15,248 --> 00:03:16,548
Yes.
47
00:03:16,549 --> 00:03:21,476
About sex one can talk with
friends, not with father and mother.
48
00:03:21,477 --> 00:03:27,706
But in western countries
it is very open talk.
49
00:03:27,707 --> 00:03:31,580
And open business also.
50
00:03:31,581 --> 00:03:32,892
Sarvatra.
51
00:03:32,893 --> 00:03:43,067
Sarvatra lokāntare ’pi vasanavagatya iha
duḥkhānusaṅghanena nivṛtta-kāma [?].
52
00:03:43,068 --> 00:03:49,702
So one should give up this
material sense gratification.
53
00:03:49,703 --> 00:03:53,303
The more you become entangled
in material sense gratification,
54
00:03:53,304 --> 00:03:57,669
more you’ll have to remain
in this material world.
55
00:03:57,670 --> 00:04:04,495
Iti tiprokti malakam uktaṁ
kāma karma prokta gena iti,
56
00:04:04,496 --> 00:04:10,163
ahaṁ deva upasya
yesantai saṅghata
57
00:04:10,164 --> 00:04:18,255
nirvaira adrstitvaṁ
samyag anvasya duḥkha,
58
00:04:18,256 --> 00:04:25,346
sukha-duḥkha eva,
sukha-duḥkha…[?].
59
00:04:25,347 --> 00:04:37,008
Vīrarāghavācārya: Deha-geha-gehayoḥ
ātmiya buddhiḥ jihasaya tyāgecchāya [?].
60
00:04:37,009 --> 00:04:43,992
Ātma-buddhi, this family,
society, friendship and love.
61
00:04:43,993 --> 00:04:45,293
Yes.
62
00:04:45,294 --> 00:04:50,553
Feel very much
affection… What is called?
63
00:04:50,554 --> 00:04:57,385
Attached; tyāgecchā;
it should be given up.
64
00:04:57,386 --> 00:05:00,901
Therefore the sannyāsa āśrama.
65
00:05:00,902 --> 00:05:05,834
Just try to deliver this message.
66
00:05:05,835 --> 00:05:09,892
Everyone is in darkness.
67
00:05:09,893 --> 00:05:11,398
Therefore I was speaking.
68
00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:15,216
They do not know what is siddhi.
69
00:05:15,217 --> 00:05:18,314
- Yesterday, you were present? Yes?
- Oh, yes.
70
00:05:18,315 --> 00:05:20,271
They do not know what is siddhi.
71
00:05:20,272 --> 00:05:22,911
What is perfection of
life, they do not know.
72
00:05:22,912 --> 00:05:25,575
Neither they have information.
73
00:05:25,576 --> 00:05:28,165
Simply they talk about it.
74
00:05:28,166 --> 00:05:29,670
All foolish.
75
00:05:29,671 --> 00:05:32,515
andhā yathāndhair upanīyamānāḥ
[SB 7.5.31]
76
00:05:32,516 --> 00:05:35,356
Blind man leading
other blind men.
77
00:05:35,357 --> 00:05:38,263
There is no sense.
78
00:05:38,264 --> 00:05:39,286
Whole civilization, it is…
79
00:05:39,287 --> 00:05:45,189
This Kṛṣṇa [consciousness] movement
is a challenge to everyone,
80
00:05:45,190 --> 00:05:50,933
a challenge, genuine challenge.
81
00:05:50,934 --> 00:05:58,634
After all, everyone wants happiness, but
they do not know what is happiness.
82
00:05:58,635 --> 00:06:06,600
Sarvatra vyasanad apy atra… [?].
83
00:06:06,601 --> 00:06:11,804
Now here, as soon as we came, we
thought it very nice, and immediately…
84
00:06:11,805 --> 00:06:14,153
So many things.
85
00:06:14,154 --> 00:06:17,505
Vyasanad apy atra.
86
00:06:17,506 --> 00:06:22,799
Wherever you go, even though you
found it is very convenient, very nice,
87
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,681
you must know there is,
there is inconvenience.
88
00:06:26,682 --> 00:06:32,740
Don’t be so sure that
it is full of nice things.
89
00:06:32,741 --> 00:06:35,495
No.
90
00:06:35,496 --> 00:06:36,965
That is not possible.
91
00:06:36,966 --> 00:06:46,441
Sarvatra vyasanad api [?].
92
00:06:46,442 --> 00:06:46,443
