Imad Bhagavatam 4.22.27 Tadashayo mukta samastatad guno naivatmano bahirantavicchaste paratmano yat vedadhanam purushtat sabne yata purushtat vinase Dandanashaya All material desires being burned.

Tadgana, qualities in connection with nature.

Na, not, eva, certainly, atmanah, The soul of the super soul, external, internal, which is staying, acting, Paraatmana of the super soul.

Of the Supersoul, yet that, in an anam, difference, for a stat, as it was in the beginning, vakne, in dream, yatah, as puruṣa, a person, tat, that, vinaśe, being finished.

Translation in purport by His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda.

When a person becomes devoid of all material desires and liberated from all material qualities, he transcends distinction between actions executed externally and internally.

At that time the difference between the soul and the super soul which was existing the first time realization is annihilated.

It sounds like my body, but actually it's not.

We have to understand how it's not my body.

When a dream is over there is no longer the distinction between the dream and the dreamer.

Purpura as described by Srila Vrndavana Goswami, ana vinasita sunyam.

1 must be devoid of all material desires.

When a person becomes devoid of all material desires, there is no longer need for speculative knowledge or fruitive activities.

In that condition, it will be understood that 1 is free from the material body.

The example is already given above, a coconut which is dry is loosened from its outward husk.

As said in Srimad Bhagavatam 2.10.6, mukti, liberation, means spharupena yavasthiti, being situated in one's constitutional position.

All material desires are present as long as 1 is in the bodily content of life.

Everyone realizes that he is an eternal servant of Krishna, his desires are no longer material.

A devotee acts in this consciousness, in other words, when material desires in connection with the body are finished, 1 is actually liberated.

When 1 is liberated from the material qualities, he does not do anything for his personal sense gratification.

At that time all activities performed by him are absolute.

In the conditioned state there are 2 kinds of activities.

1 acts as a mass of the body and at the same time he acts to become liberated.

The devotee when he is completely free from all material desires and all material qualities transcend the duality of action for the body and soul.

Then the bodily concept of life is completely over.

Therefore Srila Rupa Goswami says, Shri Rupa Goswami says, ee haya shahre dashe karmana manasa gira nikala-svapyata sthitau nikala-sthapnabhastasu jivanmukta-saucate.

When 1 is completely fixed in the service of the Lord, he is a liberated soul in any condition of life.

He is called jivanmukta, liberated even within his body.

In such a liberated condition, there is no distinction between actions of sense gratification and actions of liberation.

When 1 is liberated from the desires of sense gratification, he no longer has to suffer the reactions of lamentation or illusion.

Activities performed by the karmic Ganga are subject to lamentation and illusion, But a self-realized liberated person acting only for the Supreme Personality of Godhead experiences none.

This is the stage of oneness or merging into the existence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

This means that the individual soul, while keeping his individuality, no longer has separate interests.

He is fully in the service of the Lord and he has nothing to do but his personal sense gratification.

Therefore he sees only the Supreme Personality of Godhead and not himself.

His personal interest completely perishes.

When a person comes out of a dream, the dream vanishes.

While dreaming, a person may consider himself a king and see the royal paraphernalia, his soldiers, et cetera.

But when the dream is over, he does not see anything beyond himself.

Similarly, A liberated person understands that he is part and parcel of the Supreme Lord, acting in accordance with the desire of the Supreme Lord and in fact there is no distinction between himself and the Supreme Lord although both of them retain their individuality.

This is the perfect conception of oneness in relation to the Supersoul and the soul.

Sri Guru Vaishnavamscha Sri Rupam Savarajatam Sahaganaragandham Vitam Tam Sajivam Sadaitam Sava-dhutam Parijana-sahitam Krishna Caitanya Devam Sri Radha Krishna Padam Sahaganaladita Sri Visakhanti Tamsa Nama Om Vishnu Padaya Krishna Prestha Yugutale Srimati Bhakti Venantas Vahamriti Namane Namaste Sarasvati Deve Golovani Pachaline E Vishe Shri Shri Radha, Shri Radha, Shri Radha, Shri Radha, Shri Radha, Shri Radha, Shri So 1 can misunderstand when the Bhagavatam says that time the difference between the soul and the super soul which is existing before satanization is annihilated.

The actual term is Achincha Beta Beta Tadpa simultaneously and conceivably 1 and different.

Your intellectual harmony, just like in music we have what's called a chord.

When 2 notes are in perfect harmony with each other they become what's called a chord.

Actually it's like in the guitar, there are 6 strings, you play them in such a way that they are 1 beautiful vibration.

So the chord has a certain oneness, a beautiful sound, a very harmonious sound.

Now if you just play the strings and you don't have your fingers properly then it sounds a horrible mess.

The notes are not in harmony with each other.

So it's not that you lose your individuality but you come in a state of perfect harmony.

That's like a musical chord, 1 beautiful unit chord.

So we have to be in accord with the Lord and not in discord with the Lord.

So then how do we get in harmony with the Lord?

That's the whole process of Sadhana Bhakti.

That's the whole teaching of the Bhagavad Gita.

Krishna says, sarva-dharmam parindra-jabham mam ekam sarva-dharmam.

Give up all your under-duties so they surrender them to me.

So we study carefully the Bhagavad Gita, we can learn how to actually surrender to Krishna and become in a state of perfect harmony with him.

That's not something artificial imposed upon us because actually our original nature is to be servants of Krishna.

That just like a child has a walking ability within him and by proper training it comes out.

If the child didn't have any walking propensity within him, no matter what you do to teach him to walk, he would not be able to walk.

But because he has that natural tendency to walk within him, like proper training, encouragement, association, 1 day he can walk, and the other day he can even run some day.

So the reason that the child learns how to walk by the good guidance of his parents, we learn how to become Krishna conscious under the good guidance of the spiritual master and the Vaishnavas.

We learn how to come back to being who we actually are.

Don't try to be what you're not, namely the material body.

You may say, well, how can you say I'm not the body?

Well, once we have the experience, when some dear 1 dies, we say, oh, they have passed away.

Well, the body's laying right there, he's asleep.

We have the conception of the soul intuitively there in everyone.

But this atheistic philosophy wants to deny it's an artificial philosophy.

According to atheistic philosophy, everything came out of nothing.

Now, do you ever have any experience of anything coming out of nothing?

Can you show me any 1 thing that ever came out of nothing?

So how we can say everything came out of nothing?

Or is that some blind, is that dogmatism?

So the atheists are like dogs, barking dogs.

They bring the concept of God and bark, woof woof woof, get out of here with your concept of God.

Because they don't want to harmonize with the Lord.

They want to do their own thing independently and try to enjoy independently from Krishna.

We've been trying to do it for millions and billions of lifetimes.

Have we ever achieved a state of pure enjoyment in this material existence?

We're still suffering even if we're a millionaire or a billionaire, we're still getting old and sick and dying.

So we may try to enjoy here but we can never be successful in doing it because this is an artificial atmosphere.

The fish cannot be happy on the land as natural environment is in the water.

So we cannot be happy outside of loving service of the Supreme Lord because that is our natural and original nature.

So be who you are, don't try to be what you are not.

It is everything, Jivara Sarvabhai, Krishnayana, Siddhanta, The natural consciousness of every living being is to be a devotee of Krishna.

Just like a fish is in the water, everyone is naturally a devotee of Krishna.

We're trying to be happy on the land, the false conception of the body.

And we can see it becoming more and more miserable.

Every year goes by we see this material world becoming more and more and more miserable.

The more it becomes godless, the more it becomes miserable.

Even the conception of God as the order supplier is better than atheism.

See, it's becoming more and more godless.

It's like the church is becoming many times, becoming empty now.

It's like we bought our temple at 3764 Watsika Avenue, it was a church and nobody was coming.

So the more we become godless, the more we become sinful, the more we become a hellish nightmare.

So we want to bring God back to the center, that's the whole point.

Isha Vashna Vidham Sarvam Yad Kincha Jagadam Jagat Tene Chaktena Bhum Jita Magra Dhakshas Vidham everything animate or inanimate in the universe is controlled and owned by the Lord.

Therefore 1 should accept only those things necessary for oneself and to set aside as one's part of knowing the ultimate everything belongs.

So Everything actually is the property of the Lord.

Therefore everything is meant to be in the service of the Lord.

If you take something that belongs to somebody else and you use it for your own sense gratification, that's sinful.

One's property is meant to be used in the service of the owner of the property.

Just like when they own a house and you go on your vacation and you come back and find some people living in your house.

There are so many homeless people now around Austin.

Even we drive by, coming back from the temple, we see a tent up in the woods, somebody's living in a tent.

How homelessness, I don't know about in Lithuania, they're very popular now, homelessness is very, there's many people, hundreds of homeless people right here in Austin.

We are telling Europe of so many homeless people.

Back when I was a kid there was no homeless people.

Those are things, homeless people, we didn't see them anywhere.

Because it's becoming more and more godless, more and more sinful.

There was no abortions, there was no homosex, I mean there was but it was very minimal.

This homosex, all these abortions, all this stuff going, this transgenderism, all this crazy stuff is coming because of godlessness.

They're not happy, someone's not happy being a male, they want to be a female, but they try to ban drugs and some artificial techniques, they try to become a female.

Why not instead of being transgender, why not be transcendental gender?

Krishna Kanya is teaching transcendental gender.

Become transcendental to male and female.

Transgender, real transgender is I'm not this body.

So why don't they come to the real transgender?

We should take advantage of every opportunity now to explain Krishna consciousness in a way that will be appealing to these people.

We have to be intelligent to explain it in such a way that they go, wow, that's really cool.

We have to find a way to reach to these people and attract them.

We have to somehow get them, because that's our duty.

Prabhupada said, become Guru to live in the world.

No, it's an order that Prabhupada gave us, his followers.

So does that apply to the next generation or only Prabhupada's disciples?

The Prabhupada's disciples, the grand disciples, the great grand disciples.

This is the family business of the Hare Krishna movement is to deliver the world.

That's just for the GBCs and the Gnanasis, right?

The book distributors, no, it's for every single member of ISKCON has a duty to deliver the world.

The doctor is sick, can he go to the office?

So therefore, we have to deliver ourselves.

16 rounds of regulated principles, chanting the holy names without offense.

We have to become senseless chanters of the holy names.

Being a senseless chanter is so powerful, you'll be amazed to hear this.

The Prophet explains in his prayer for Chaitanya Chah Ramita, if 1 chants the Holy Name without offense, he becomes Jagadguru.

That's how powerful, In other words, if you can chant the holy name without any offense, you have the power to deliver the whole universe.

Can you imagine the great power right there in your bead bag?

You have the potential by chanting the holy name without any offense, you have the potential to become such a powerful Vaishnava who can deliver the entire universe.

Next time you change your job, remember that.

Let me dive deep, deep, deep, deep, deep into the Holy Name.

Krishna says, Sattva dham kirti yam tva mam.

We have heard a million times, if it is 64, can't do that, 32, can't do that, alright, 16.

Some of my disciples are chanting 32, that's very nice.

A disciple wrote me the other day, she's chanting 32 rounds, that's very nice.

If your Maharajah chants 32 rounds, it's very nice, those who can do, who can find a way to squeeze into their schedule and chant even more names.

So that chanting, we should learn how to become offenseless in our chanting, perfect in our chanting.

So that means also to be offensive to Vaishnavas is an offense against the name.

So we have to have very good relationships amongst the devotees.

Not that I become offensive in my dealing with devotees.

Even if somebody is being offensive to me, maybe I thought it was offensive, but actually he wasn't being offensive, he was just correcting my mistake.

But actually even if somebody was offensive to me, Should I be offensive back?

Chanadati sanicena, tararati sahishnuna, amanina manadena, kirtaniyasadahari.

Once you chant the holy name of the Lord in the humble state of mind, taking yourself lower than a straw in the street, being ready to offer all respect to others without expecting even the slightest bit of respect for oneself.

In such a state of mind you can go on chanting Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, constantly.

Why devotees are not getting the tasting and action?

Because they are not working the process.

They are taking some watered down version of Krishna consciousness.

We should take it exactly as Prabhupada has given it.

Krishna consciousness as it is, as it has been given to us by Prabhupada.

We should not water it down with sense gratification.

I see the tenancy of this, I water it down.

Don't water it down, take it as it is, as Prabhupada has given it.

And those who are preaching on behalf of Prabhupada, it is being given, we should take it as it is.

By doing so we are actually in a sublime state.

Krishna consciousness is not just some slogan, it is actually a state of mind, a state of being, in which is 1 free from all anxieties.

And Bhagavad explains it very nicely in the Isvara Upanishad, I've quoted it many, many times.

1 should not be happy or distressed over desirables or undesirables, nor in such feelings as are created by the mind.

So the next time you get disturbed, what are we going to blame it on?

Yeah, I have a right to be disturbed because this happened or that happened.

But actually disturbance is not due to the external situation.

Disturbance is due to our mind which is not properly situated.

When you are properly situated on the transcendental platform you will see everything is a special loving mercy of Krishna to help me come closer and closer and closer to my loving relationship with him.

You will see everything in that way, not be disturbed by anything.

See if there are Any questions that have come rolling in yet?

Let's go a little deeper into this purport in this verse.

When a person becomes a buoyant of all material desires.

See in my body they say, no desire, become desireless.

No desire whatsoever, cut it all, cut, cut, cut, cut, nitty, nitty, nitty, nitty, not this, not that, cut, cut, cut, cut, no, to become desireless and merge into Brahma.

They desire desirelessness, that's also desire.

So if you really want to get into desirelessness you have to stop desiring desirelessness, meaning higher than that, and it doesn't work.

My body is 1 that does not desire, they are also desiring desirelessness, which is a desire.

You want to become free from your desires, then you have to flush them out of your heart by filling your heart with spiritual desires.

If there are spiritual desires, I want to accept a spiritual master, I want to please my spiritual master.

I want to take his orders as my life and soul.

See I want to please my spiritual master.

The disciple desires to please his spiritual master.

I see some who instead of trying to please the spiritual master, they want to find fault with the spiritual master.

We see some misguided, foolish disciples who instead of trying to please the spiritual master, they want to try and fall with the spiritual master.

You can't jump over there to the spiritual master, step on his head and go back to Krishna.

You can't fall with him and step on his head, or ignore him altogether and go around him.

You have to go to the medium of the Bhanatvaya spiritual master, that is the process.

That's why we pray every day the Gauravasakam prayers.

My only desire is that my consciousness is purified by the words emanating from his lotus mouth.

He must hear, hear, hear, hear from his spiritual master.

The more you hear from the spiritual master, the more your heart becomes purified.

So if you want to jump over the head, I don't need my spiritual master.

I hear this and that, but I'm not going to hear my spiritual master.

Such a person will not be properly situated in Krishna consciousness.

Not possible because Narottam Das has made it very clear in that song we sing every day.
