Story 02 Again become mouse
1
00:00:00,102 --> 00:00:01,900
PRABHUPĀDA: …this is
animalistic civilization.
2
00:00:01,901 --> 00:00:07,236
Nature gave us the
opportunity to realize God,
3
00:00:07,237 --> 00:00:11,664
but God-realization is
meant for human being.
4
00:00:11,665 --> 00:00:15,794
The human being, if he
does not realize God,
5
00:00:15,795 --> 00:00:19,171
he’s simply engaged in
animalistic way of life:
6
00:00:19,172 --> 00:00:20,870
eating, sleeping, mating.
7
00:00:20,871 --> 00:00:25,017
Then nature will call, “All right,
sir, again become animal.”
8
00:00:25,018 --> 00:00:32,980
Punar mūṣiko bhava:
“Again become a mouse.”
9
00:00:32,981 --> 00:00:35,204
You know this story?
10
00:00:35,205 --> 00:00:37,616
Punar mūṣiko bhava.
11
00:00:37,617 --> 00:00:38,958
There is a story.
12
00:00:38,959 --> 00:00:43,808
There is a very nice story.
13
00:00:43,809 --> 00:00:49,262
One rat, a mouse, he
came to a saintly person.
14
00:00:49,263 --> 00:00:53,802
A saintly… Everyone comes to [a] saintly
person for some blessing, you see.
15
00:00:53,803 --> 00:00:55,139
Real blessing they don’t want.
16
00:00:55,140 --> 00:00:57,049
Some material blessing.
17
00:00:57,050 --> 00:00:59,211
Real blessing—Kṛṣṇa—
they don’t want.
18
00:00:59,212 --> 00:01:03,235
But if you give him some blessing that
“You become very rich man and leader…”
19
00:01:03,236 --> 00:01:04,944
They… Very well; please.
20
00:01:04,945 --> 00:01:11,241
So this mouse also came and begged
the saintly person, “Sir, I am in difficulty.
21
00:01:11,242 --> 00:01:12,787
If you give me some blessing?”
22
00:01:12,788 --> 00:01:14,182
“A what is that?”
23
00:01:14,183 --> 00:01:18,375
“Na; the cat chases
after me always.
24
00:01:18,376 --> 00:01:19,890
I’m very unhappy.”
25
00:01:19,891 --> 00:01:21,295
“So what do you want?”
26
00:01:21,296 --> 00:01:26,217
“Now, if you make me a cat,
then I can get relief from this…”
27
00:01:26,218 --> 00:01:28,331
“All right, you become cat.”
28
00:01:28,332 --> 00:01:29,797
So he became cat.
29
00:01:29,798 --> 00:01:33,588
So after few days, again he comes.
30
00:01:33,589 --> 00:01:35,416
“Sir, again I am in trouble.”
31
00:01:35,417 --> 00:01:36,132
“What is that?”
32
00:01:36,133 --> 00:01:40,002
“The dog is chasing…”
33
00:01:40,003 --> 00:01:42,998
Ah, don’t laugh, hear seriously.
34
00:01:42,999 --> 00:01:44,388
“Dog is chasing…”
35
00:01:44,389 --> 00:01:47,045
“All right, then,
what do you want?”
36
00:01:47,046 --> 00:01:50,315
“Na, make me a tiger.”
37
00:01:50,316 --> 00:01:53,930
“All right; you become a tiger.”
38
00:01:53,931 --> 00:02:01,327
So, when he became a tiger he was
staring on the saintly person like this.
39
00:02:01,328 --> 00:02:06,735
So, he asked, “Why you are staring
upon me; you want to eat me?”
40
00:02:06,736 --> 00:02:08,501
“Yes.”
41
00:02:08,502 --> 00:02:13,660
So he again curses, punar mūṣiko…:
“Again you become mouse.
42
00:02:13,661 --> 00:02:14,789
Again you become mouse.”
43
00:02:14,790 --> 00:02:17,295
So that is our position.
44
00:02:17,296 --> 00:02:21,218
We are advanced in civilization.
45
00:02:21,219 --> 00:02:24,803
Now we want to kill God.
46
00:02:24,804 --> 00:02:31,736
So we are again going to be uncivilized, to
remain in the forest and to remain naked.
47
00:02:31,737 --> 00:02:35,472
Actually, they are
practicing that: nature’s life.
48
00:02:35,473 --> 00:02:39,548
So again they are
going to be aborigines.
49
00:02:39,549 --> 00:02:42,459
And that is being practiced.
50
00:02:42,460 --> 00:02:45,676
They are going to the
forest; they remain naked.
51
00:02:45,677 --> 00:02:56,668
So, actually, punar mūṣiko
bhava: “Again become mouse.”
52
00:02:56,669 --> 00:02:56,670
