Lecture: Srimad
Bhagavatam 7.3.14
SDA:
Translation and purport, by His Divine Grace, Srila Prabhupada.
(Audience:
Jaya.) "O King, being
thus informed by the demigods, the most powerful Lord Brahma,
accompanied by Bhrgu, Daksa and other great sages, immediately started
for the place where Hiranyakasipu was performing his penances and
austerities." Purport:
Lord Brahma was waiting for the austerities performed by
Hiranyakasipu to mature so that he could go there and offer benedictions
according to Hiranyakasipu's desire. Now, taking the opportunity of
being accompanied by all the demigods and great saintly persons, Brahma
went there to award him the benediction he desired.
om ajnana-timirandhasya
jnananjana-salakaya
sri-caitanya-mano-'bhistam sthapitam
yena bhu-tale So, it is stated
that there are three types of persons, who should all approach Krishna
to fulfill their desires.
There are persons who desire kama, sense gratification.
Sarva-kama, who have all lusty desires.
There are those who have become frustrated with lusty desires,
and who desire moksa, moksa-kamis.
Sarva-kamis, moksa-kamis, those who desire moksa, and
then, there are akamis.
Those whose desire is to become free from all desire.
Akamis, devotees.
Scriptures tell us that all three groups, actually, should
approach Krishna to fulfill their desires.
So, obviously, Hiranyakasipu is not in the category of akami.
He is sarva-kami.
But, still, he is understanding to get higher authorities.
He's approaching higher authorities, doing penance, and
austerities.
So, we always
depend on higher authority.
This concept, whether we approach a demigod, or we approach Krishna,
still we are dependent on higher authorities.
Of course, demigods, they are dependent on Krishna also.
So, the intelligent person doesn't go to demigods.
This is for less intelligent people.
Those who are hrta-jnana, who have lost their
intelligence. But, still,
there's some idea of approaching higher authorities.
A controlling deity.
That is some degree of Vedic understanding, to do that.
But it is incomplete.
Even in ordinary material affairs, we see the example of
Wal-Mart. This Sam Walton,
he had a very good idea.
Why should I go to some distributors to get my goods.
I'll just go straight to the manufacturers.
In that way, I'll have better business
So, why should we go to some middle person?
The demigods are simply distributors for the benedictions coming
from Krishna. Why should we
go to some middle person and not be so well situated?
The demigod may give us some temporary boon, but still we are
caught up in birth and death.
Hiranyakasipu was a classic example of that.
He is getting, what he thought was immortality, by some trick.
Even though he was told, no, I cannot give immortality, but still
he was thinking he was getting immortality.
But of course, he did not get immortality.
So, instead of going to some middle person, to Lord Brahma, to
Lord Siva, to Indra, to Ganesa, to Sarasvati, we should go directly to
Krishna. This is
intelligence. We see that
digvijaya pandita Kesava Kasmiri.
He was a great devotee of Sarasvati.
He was thinking he was very well situated.
Now, no one can defeat me!
Because I am so totally dedicated to goddess Sarasvati.
But, he was defeated.
So, those who take shelter of demigods, they may get some
temporary benefit, but ultimately, they are defeated.
Nowadays, they don't even have that high of a conception.
They want to take shelter of some politician
Some athlete Some
movie star. Some rock star.
That's who they want to take shelter of.
They're so crazy.
But, those persons who actually take shelter of Krishna, the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, from whom all benedictions are coming, their
situation is pakka.
Its a very solid situation, absolutely solid.
That person from whom everything is coming
aham sarvasya prabhavo That person from
whom everything is coming, who provides absolutely everything to
everyone.
Nityo nityanam cetanas cetananam That one supreme
conscious eternal, amongst the plural conscious eternals.
He is supplying everything for everyone.
So, if we are actually intelligent, we will make our relationship
with that Supreme Personality of Godhead.
This is intelligence.
That is actual advancement of knowledge.
Not this 747, this microchip, so-called high-tech.
This is low technology.
We are thinking
we have come out of the dark ages, with our high technology.
But actually we are in the dark, dark ages now.
If you want to be high-tech, Bhagavatam, that is
high-tech. Why?
Because, the Bhagavatam will take us to the other side of
reality. The impersonalists,
the Buddhist's they say that this world is unreality, but that is
not at all true. This
material world is not unreality.
This is simply the inferior reality of the greater reality.
There are two sides to reality: the superior side, and the
inferior side. So, the
Krishna consciousness process is how to go from this side, the inferior
side of reality, to the superior side.
Not by the mistaken means promoted by one rock and roll star.
He had a song, break on through to the other side.
You can't gate-crash your way into the other side of reality, by
some rocket ship, or by some LSD.
You have to be invited.
You have to have an invitation.
You can't just go on your own.
Because I want to go there.
You have to qualify yourself to enter that other reality, that
superior reality.
So, that
transcendental dimension, beyond time and space, that Vaikuntha-dhama
the transcendental world is going on right now.
Just like here in Denver, outside of this temple, there are so
many activities. People are
getting up. They're driving
to work. There are so many
busy activities happening.
The airport planes are coming in.
Planes are taking off.
The luggage is going around the luggage thing.
So many things are going on.
So, right now, at this very second, in Goloka Vrindavana,
there are so many activities going on.
Krishna has just gotten His lunch, packed by mother Yasoda.
The cowherd boys also, they are all taking off, into the forest,
with the calves, playing some games.
One cowherd boy, he is stealing the lunch bag from another
cowherd boy, and tossing it to someone else.
In this way, they are having so many childhood pastimes.
And the gopis are waiting, when dark will come, so they can again
go to the forest with their beloved Syamasundara, and have so many
wonderful, nocturnal forest pastimes.
So, all of these things are going on at every minute.
All of those pastimes are there.
As Prabhupada points out in his Bhagavad-Gita
introduction, there is what
is called svarupa-siddhi.
We all actually
have an identity in the spiritual world.
We shouldn't try to guess what it is, or go to someone who can
tell us what it is, that is bogus.
That is sahajiya.
But we know that if we simply follow the wonderful instructions
that Srila Prabhupada has given us, that that day will come when we will
actually become reestablished in our eternal identity in the spiritual
world, on the other side of reality.
So, its there right now, waiting for us.
Whats holding us back?
Ahankara.
False ego. We're very very
proud. We're encrusted with
layers and layers and layers of false ego.
That's our deplorable condition at this very second.
So, how do we get out?
We have to pray for the mercy.
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna,
Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.
We have to pray for the mercy of Srila Prabhupada.
Pray for the mercy of Guru.
Because by this means, the combined mercy of Guru, and Krishna,
we can escape this material world.
We can get to
that other side of reality, which Hiranyakasipu, in spite of all his
many many penances, and austerities, for such a long time, he was
standing on his tip-toes, to try to make himself God, he was an utter
failure. We don't have to
do such rigorous, rigorous austerities as Hiranyakasipu, going up into
the Rocky Mountains and standing on our tip-toes through all types of
weather. Sometimes people
try to imitate these yogis.
These people that do the austerities in the mountains thinking
they'll get great powers.
Sadly, one boy who used to come to our center in Austin, he graduated
from college, and thought, now I'll become a great yogi.
So, he went to the Rocky Mountains down there in New Mexico.
He went up in the mountains and took all his clothes off to do
meditation. A few days
later, they found him dead.
So, instead of trying to do some artificial austerities, if we will
simply do this simple austerity, chant Hare Krishna, follow these
principles, join in this wonderful, nectarian, sweet,
ever-more-enlivening, transcendental festival known as the International
Society for Krishna Consciousness.
This is the most exciting thing happening in the history of the
world, this society that Prabhupada has created.
There's nothing more wonderful, more enlivening, more nectarian,
then to be a participant in ISKCON at this time.
Actually I can't think of anything more exciting than to be a
member of ISKCON. Its the
greatest adventure. Isn't
it? There's nothing more
enlivening than this.
Just consider
that Srila Prabhupada is truly the greatest spiritual master in the
history of the universe, because he is doing, through his movement, what
no one else in the history of the world has ever done.
Taken the Vaisnava movement, and spread it all over the
world. Even Caitanya
Mahaprabhu only spread it within India.
Prabhupada has told us that there will be a 10,000 year period,
in which Krishna consciousness will inundate the entire world.
This 10,000 year period began 500 years ago, when Caitanya
Mahaprabhu appeared. So, it
remained, in one sense, in a seed-like form within India.
For, those five centuries, and Prabhupada has brought that seed,
and he's expanded it all over the world.
Now, we're right
on the verge of a paradigm shift, in which, as this movement expands,
Prabhupada actually told us, this movement will go down in history as
having saved the world in its darkest hour.
So, the actual fact is that we're sitting, this very second, in
one of the most exciting moments in history.
As a vast spiritual revolution, which is, you could say, a
tremendously huge tsunami, getting ready to inundate the entire world,
and we are the lucky persons who get to be an integral part of what's
happening. We're so
fortunate. We're so
unqualified, but somehow or other we were in the right place, at the
right time, and we got attracted by Prabhupada's mercy.
So, now, we get to act, even though we're most unqualified,
(aside) wake up wake up, don't sleep.
Even though we are most disqualified persons, we can't even stay
awake in Bhagavatam class.
But, still somehow or other we are engaged in this activity of
assisting Prabhupada, and Prabhupada's servants in pushing forward this
movement. To give the
greatest benediction to all the conditioned living entities in this
material world, and simultaneously, bring the greatest benediction upon
ourselves, of actually being able to, not break through, but be allowed
through to that other side of reality.
That's the spiritual world.
Whatever
austerities and penances we may be doing right now, its worth it.
Its worth it. We have to
suffer anyway in this material world.
Suffering is inescapable.
Don't you have to suffer if you have to work a job?
Isn't there so much suffering getting old, getting sick and
dying? There's so much
suffering we have to go through anyway, so why not do it in Krishna
consciousness? Actually,
when you are fixed in Krishna consciousness, its not even suffering
anymore. Just
consider a person whose stuck in a third-world country and a revolution
breaks out. His house is
broken into, its vandalized.
He's running for his life in total fear, complete anxiety, and
there's a bunch of U.S. citizens there in that country.
The U.S. government sends in a big transport jet, to pick up all
the U.S. citizens, and the word goes around, get to the airport.
Somehow, or other, get to the airport, because the U.S.
government has flown in a jet to fly everybody out.
Get you and your family members, get there.
So, you get to the airport, and you're sitting on the plane,
ready to take off. You're
still there in that country, where the revolution is happening.
But, now, all your anxiety is gone because you're on the
airplane, and you're going home.
So, try to understand the analogy.
We're still in the material world.
The horrible, hellish Kali-yuga is still going on all
around us. But, we're on
the airplane. We're not
home yet, but we're as good as home.
Because we're sitting here on the airplane, getting ready to take
off for Goloka Vrindavana at any minute.
So, we're as good as home.
The only thing is, whatever you do, don't get off the airplane.
Fly ISKCON Airlines, back to home, back to godhead.
Prabhupada is the pilot, there's wonderful prasadam.
The best cuisine on any airline.
There are wonderful in-flight movies of Krishna's pastimes, Lord
Caitanya's lila. The
most sublime in-flight movies you could ever expect.
The most wonderful persons are on that plane.
The ISKCON sadhus.
There are some
advantages to traveling and preaching all over the world, on the ISKCON
circuit. Its very graphic,
you get to see the contrast between the ISKCON community, and the
material community as you move from point A to point B.
I remember, we were just preaching a few months ago in Riga,
Latvia. Then, mataji and
myself, we traveled into Amsterdam.
In going through the whole scene there at the airport, I felt
like I was in Aghasura's mouth, and then one brahmacari, Radha
Vallabha, a very nice disciple of Prahladananda Maharaja, he showed up
at the airport to greet us and take us to the temple.
Just seeing him, it was like Krishna coming into Aghasura, to
rescue me, from being swallowed by Aghasura.
So, actually any one devotee in ISKCON, who's following the
principles, chanting his or her rounds, that person is a great sadhu
actually. It could be a big
leader, a big name, or just a new devotee who's sincerely trying to
serve Prabhupada's instructions.
So, actually, any one member of ISKCON who's trying to serve
Prabhupada, they are a great sadhu.
That is stated in the Caitanya-Caritamrta.
’sadhu-sanga’, ‘sadhu-sanga’—sarva-sastre
kaya All the
scriptures declare that by having even one-eleventh of a
second association with a sadhu, you can achieve all
perfection. So, this is the
great blessing that any sincere follower of ISKCON is able to give.
They can give one of Prabhupada's books.
They can say chant Hare Krishna.
They can say come to our ISKCON center.
In this way, they can give you that seed which will bestow upon
you all perfection. An
invitation to the temple. A
kind word. A merciful
smile. So, these devotees
of this movement, they are not at all ordinary.
Its an amazing story, one of our God brothers was telling.
He was sitting with Prabhupada in London.
A number of the God brothers were there and Prabhupada was
sitting there. He said, so,
now we are all together again.
He said, in your previous birth, you were Indian Brahmanas.
Now we are together again.
So, anyone who has come to this movement, they are not ordinary
people. Each and every
member of this society, they are very special in the eyes of Prabhupada,
in the eyes of Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
So, even though we may sometimes have differences of opinion,
sometimes disagreements, we have to always keep that sincere love and
respect for all the wonderful devotees of this movement.
That's why we always offer our respects to them.
vanca kalpatarubhyas ca krpa
sindhubhya eva ca Not
mechanically. We should say
that with feeling. Because
these persons are very special because they have come to this movement.
We should feel that I do not deserve to be in such exhalted
company, as these ISKCON devotees.
Somehow or other they're tolerating my nonsense, and allowing me
to stay here by their kindness.
That's how we should feel about ourselves.
I don't deserve to be here.
I'm so lowly, so degraded, such a rascal.
But somehow they're allowing me to stay.
They're giving me this opportunity to get out of my demoniac
state of consciousness. My
Hiranyakasipu mentality.
What is that Hiranyakasipu?
Soft beds and money. Gold
and soft beds. So, are there
any questions? Yes
(indistinct) prabhu.
Devotee:
I noticed in the purport here that Srila Prabhupada said that
Lord Brahma was waiting for the austerities of Hiranyakasipu to mature.
Lord Brahma, it seems was quite aware of what Hiranyakasipu's
intent was, so why would he want to wait for it to mature?
SDA:
That's an interesting question.
I haven't studied this chapter in some time.
It may be answered in other purports.
But, I will consider your question and see what answer can be
given for that. There
certainly is certain systems that work within the universe for achieving
material benedictions.
That's one aspect. The law
of karma is there.
If you want to get a certain result, within the laws of karma,
there are certain things you have to do to get that.
You're not really qualified for that until you've done enough.
Rewards require pious or austere activities.
You can't just get it causelessly. Krishna consciousness, you can
get causelessly. Any
material benediction requires that you actually earn it.
You have to pay your dues, as they say.
To get the just reward from the material energy, you have to do
so many things. So, he
wasn't actually qualified to receive a benediction yet.
Its obvious, because we understand the laws of karma.
As you sow, so shall you reap.
So, he wasn't really qualified to get it yet.
Its not like Lord Caitanya's mercy, or the Vaisnava's
mercy which can be given causelessly to a person.
In the material nature, you've got to work hard to earn every
single penny. You can't
just causelessly receive some benediction.
Devotee:
So, would Lord Brahma be thinking, well, I hope he gives it up
before it matures?
SDA:
Was he thinking that?
Oh, of course. Lord
Brahma's a great devotee.
The compiler of brahma-samhita a great, pure devotee of the Lord.
This is like a thankless task for Brahma.
He's not really enlivened to do this.
Its just the duty he has to do, in that position.
Its not nectar for him, to give some benediction.
Of course, Brahma can see the greater picture also, knowing that
this is a way to finally get rid of this guy.
Put a stop to his nonsense.
Questions more?
Yes, prabhu. Devotee (2):
(asks a question about why some devotees do austerities,
especially the gosvami's giving up material things.
Because one can go back to Godhead by doing anything for
Krishna.) SDA:
No. It depends on
how you do it. The fact is
that there are two types of vairagya.
There's phalgu-vairagya, and there's yukta-vairagya.
Actually Rupa Gosvami, one of the persons you mentioned in
your question, he taught us this principle, yukta-vairagya.
So, phalgu-vairagya means that you make externally,
you totally detach yourself from all material things.
But this phalgu has a double meaning in the Sanskrit
language. Phalgu
also refers to an underground river.
On the surface, it appears to be a dry river bed, but under the
ground, the river is still flowing.
So, you may cut yourself off.
You may go to the Himalayas, and become a naga-baba.
Not even attached to a kaupina.
But within the heart, that underground river of material
attachment is still there.
But, yukta-vairagya, Rupa Gosvami is teaching, you engage
everything in the service of Krishna.
That is the highest form of renunciation.
Now, its not in the name of doing that, that you can maintain
your material attachments.
That's why guru is required.
You have to surrender to his instruction.
If he tells you to go to the Himalayas, then you have to go.
If he tells you to remain in an opulent position, and preach,
then you have to do that.
Whatever the spiritual master orders, that you do.
That is renunciation. If we
artificially try to renounce, that is actually madness.
Srila Prabhupada gives the example of Bank of America.
A person walks into the Bank of America.
Person A walks in with a gun, to rob the bank.
He is a criminal.
Another person walks in and says I renounce this bank.
He's a madman.
Is it his bank to renounce?
So, actually there's nothing to renounce, because we own nothing
to begin with. Simply the
false concept of ownership has to be given up.
One has to see that nirmama.
Nothing is mine, and sarva-loka-mahesvaram.
Everything is the property of Krishna.
So, if we simply utilize everything in the service of Krishna,
under the blessings and instructions of our Guru Maharaja, then
we are truly renounced persons.
Prabhupada gives the example of using a microphone.
You could say Sankarshan Prabhu is very attached, because he
wants to use a microphone.
Some high, technological gadget which depends on some power station
supplying the energy. He
must be a materialist because he's using a microphone.
Of course, I am a materialist, but not because I'm using a
microphone. Prabhupada
showed the example of using so many high, technological things. Just
like when he had Pradyumna, and Arundati begin this editing, doing the
layout for the books. He
had them get the latest, high tech word processor.
It was a big IBM gadget, before computers were there.
Some type of a layout machine.
A typesetter. We
didn't go to a printer, we had our own press at that time, in New York.
Prabhupada got the latest high tech gadget from IBM Corporation
And even Prabhupada himself in, I believe, it was the second
volume of brown Bhagavatams he published in India.
He mentioned that people may criticize that what is this
sannyasi doing leaving Vrindavana and going to book publishers in
Delhi? This is not
renunciation.
So, the real
point is yukta-vairagya. We simply accept whatever is favorable
for pushing forward this Krishna consciousness movement.
If we can use something in the service of Krishna, then it is a
mistake to give it up. But
if we use it for our own sense gratification, then it is poison.
So, we have to be very very careful, that whatever opulence
Krishna has given us, small or big, it doesn't matter, we must use that
100% in the service of Krishna.
That we must do, otherwise that attachment will kill us
spiritually, and we'll have to take birth again.
If you have any desire to enjoy even .001%, in this material
world, then you have to take birth again.
Krishna wants you to have your desires satisfied, so if you have
any material desire at all, then you have to take birth again.
So we have to pray to Krishna, please Lord Krishna, free me from
all these material desires.
Let me have one desire, and one desire only, and that is to please you.
No other desire.
That is real renunciation.
Whether you have a little bit of material things you're using for
Krishna, or a lot, that doesn't matter.
What matters is what's in your heart.
That's what matters.
Devotee (2):
That means that the desire is the most important thing. SDA:
What is your desire?
That is the most important thing.
Whether you have one dollar, or a million dollars.
That doesn't matter.
The question is what is your desire.
Is your desire to please Krishna, or is your desire to enjoy your
senses? Desire must be
there. So, what is the
nature of your desire? That
is the determining factor of whether you're qualified to go back to
Godhead, or not. We have to
very very carefully cultivate spiritual desire in all times, all places
and all circumstances. That
is our most important activity.
How do your do that?
You do everything to satisfy the desires of Guru and Krishna.
Devotee(2):
You said that you need to have a pure desire to go back home back
to Godhead. SDA:
We have to be purely fixed in that desire to please Krishna.
The highest level is, as Lord Caitanya has given.
na dhanam na janam na sundarim I have no desire
for wealth. I have no
desire for beautiful women.
I have no desire for followers.
I have no desire to even go back to Godhead.
I simply want to do devotional service, birth after birth.
That is the
qualifier for going back to Godhead.
You simply want to please Krishna.
That's all. That
will immediately qualify you to go back to Godhead.
Its not that, well, I'll agree to do all this if I can go back to
Godhead. The devotee
doesn't make any condition.
I'll agree to perform all the activities of Krishna consciousness, if I
can go back to Godhead, otherwise its no deal.
I don't want to do it.
No. We do this for
the sake of pleasing Krishna.
Not for the sake of going back to Godhead.
But that mentality immediately puts you back to Godhead now
actually. Back to Godhead,
you can have right now. Not
just the magazine, but you can actually be 100% situated in the
spiritual energy, right now, by just purifying every thought, every
word, and every deed, making it completely 100% dovetailed with the
satisfaction of Guru and Krishna, and then you'll be in the
spiritual world at this very second.
Just like Prabhupada told me.
I had been a songwriter before I joined the movement, so I wrote
Prabhupada a question about songwriting.
He encouraged me to come to the level of Bhaktivinoda Thakura.
(Laughter.) To write
songs. He said, now you
just qualify yourself to see Krishna, face to face.
He encouraged me to come to that level to write really good
songs. So, Prabhupada was
introducing to me this concept.
Not that you have to wait until you leave your body before you
can see Krishna. You can
actually do it now if you become completely pure, Krishna will reveal
Himself now. So, every day,
at every second, we should be striving to bring ourselves to the utmost
purity of consciousness, so that Krishna will be very pleased to reveal
Himself to us.
Questions more?
Yes.
Devotee (3):
Sometimes people don't have faith in our claim that this is starting the
golden age. There is so
much degradation SDA:
What do they have faith in?
Devotee (3):
But how do we show them that the golden age is starting?
SDA:
Sometimes people don't have faith that the Caitanya Era is going
to actually bring 10,000 years of spiritual bliss, on this planet.
I would suggest, give them a gulab-jamun.
(Laughter.) Let
them taste some spiritual bliss.
Prabhupada said that this is not dry philosophy that we simply
talk, then go. No.
We distribute sumptuous prasadam. A spiritual revolution
in their mouth! That will
purify their intelligence, where they can understand more things about
Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
Devotee (3):
Then how do we explain to them that the degradation is
increasing? SDA:
Ah. By them a
subscription to the newspaper.
(Laughter.) Its so
obvious. My God.
If they can't see the degradation, they don't even know what
degradation is obviously.
They take increased degradation as celebration.
Life is getting better, because that's their nature.
The standards of sexual morality go down, certain people think
this is great! Certain
people thought it was great when Bill Clinton was having that affair
with that girl in the White House because it gave them the credibility
to do the nonsense that they were doing.
If the President can do it, then must be alright.
So, if somebody's attached to doing all nonsense, then they
wouldn't think that an age when people don't eat meat, and they don't
have illicit sex is some wonderful thing.
They'd think that its a horrible nightmare.
(Laughter) Like that
word in the Bhagavad-Gita, viparitani.
That one verse,
viparitani kesava.
Viparitani is a Sanskrit
word that means "Just the opposite."
Or as we say in English, topsy-turvy.
They've got it completely backwards.
So, unless they can actually understand that an atmosphere where
the pleasure of Krishna is the center is superior, to an atmosphere of
egotism, then how will they appreciate?
Is it possible that they will appreciate?
But we can try to explain to them, that wouldn't you like a world
devoid of terrorism, devoid of crime, devoid of tsunamis, when the
climate becomes wonderful, and there's no pestilence.
There's wonderful foodstuffs available in ample supply for
everyone. There's no
starvation, there's no poverty, there's no corruption.
Everyone's honest, everyone's loving, everyone's kind.
Would you like such an atmosphere?
If you explain it like that, they may say yes.
That sound's very good.
You can say, well you can help to bring that.
That age is called the Caitanya Era, and its predicted in the
Vedic scriptures that that age is starting to come now, and if you want
to help to bring that age, then kindly chant these names.
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/Hare
Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.
If you will chant these names sincerely, then you will help
to bring in this golden era of Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
If you will read these books, then by your intelligence, you'll
