Today we're studying Srimad Bhagavatam, 4th Kanto, Chapter 25, Text Number 19, Chapter 25-19.

Om Namah Bhagavate Vasudevaya Om Namah Bhagavate Vasudevaya

Om Namah Bhagavate Vasudevaya na na ranjha mraga brahtaya na baddha muni vratay utta manjati ponto

Hare Krishna Shri Lankur Dev, Hare Krishna Shri Matu Guru

Srila Gurudev, Hare Krishna Shreemadu Guru Mataji.

I am I am I am I am I am I am I am Nā rānyam righā-vratair.

ko kila ku jitai nārājā mṛgā vṛtai nābhāde mṛjī vṛtai ahu saman jate paṁ to yata ko kila ku jitai

Various Aranya, Sorest, Mriga animals, Rattayi with groups, Anabhahe in the matter of non-violence.

even the animals of the forest become non-violent and non-envious like great sages.

Consequently, the animals did not attack anyone over and above everything, with the cooing of the cuckoos.

Any passenger passing along that way was invited by that atmosphere to take rest in that nice garden.

A peaceful family with wife and children compared to the peaceful atmosphere of the forest.

Children are compared to non-violent animals, Sometimes our wives and children are called Svajanakya Dasyus, burglars in the name of kinsmen.

The man urges lively him with hard labor, but the result is that he is punished by his wife and children, exactly the person that was first attacked by some thieves and burglars who take his money.

Nonetheless, in family life, the turmoil of the wife and children appears to be like the cooing of the cuckoos in the garden of family life.

Being by such an atmosphere, the person who is passing through such a blissful family life desires to have his family with him at all costs.

Baba also explains this in a lecture on the nectar of devotion given in 1972 here in Vrindavan.

He says, so this material world is like that.

Sādīnya tadehaya ratam kudumba bhārāṇe na vā As soon as they get money, they want to purchase.

The wife says, I want so much, I want so many, so much, so many dollars for my dis-purpose.

The children says, therefore in Baguatam they are called Sujnakiya Dushu.

So the wife and children, they are legitimate burglars.

If Somebody takes your money from the pocket, you're going to become pickpocket criminal.

But if your wife takes it away, you're very much pleased.

She is taking, they are called Sravajanakya Dasa.

How much my wife loves me she is taking all my money from the pocket.

This is the occupational duties of the materialistic person, but a Krishna can't do the person is not like them.

Vande ham shri guru shri datapala kamalam shri guru vaisnavam shchah shri vrupam sagrajatam sahagana raagana tam sri tam tam sajivam sadayi tam savadho tam parejana taritam Shri Guru Vaishnavam Shri Rupaam Sagrajatam Sahagana Raghul Tantri Tam Tam Sajivam Sadayitam Savadhootam Parijanataritam Krishna Chetam Yadevam Shri Vrana Krishna Padam Sahagana Radhita Shri Vishakhanvitam Shri Nama Om Vishnu Padaya Krishna Pleshtaya Bhutale So, back when we left off, the 10 year difficulties.

If you can hear me, you can do a chat window now.

1 person is saying no, every other is saying yes.

that we have to have, we're getting Krishna, Goddess, Lady's.

have Krishna, Goddess, Lady's, We have to have Krishna Ganas leaders.

have Krishna Ganas leaders, we have to understand what is the science of Krishna consciousness.

Who are the actual leaders of any culture?

Those who know the science of God, the science of Krishna, they are known as the Brahmin class and they are meant to, it's not by birth.

Modern day idea in India, you're born as a Brahmin, a Suta, whatever, no.

Your class is not by birth, it's by qualification.

Sama dada samchak, samchak, samchak, samchak, peacefulness, self-control, equanimity, These are the qualities of the Brahmins.

So anybody even less than a soldier can become a Brahmin if he becomes Krishna conscious.

So we have to develop these mathematical qualities to become equanimity, to be peaceful in all situations, by becoming Krishna conscious.

Krishna conscious means automatically become a Brahmin.

So we have to actually develop these qualities of Brahmin.

Become peaceful, charitable, self-controlled, etc.

These, not other things, you don't add or subtract from these things.

It's exactly the coming of the great Acharyas.

They're very fortunate, the great Acharyas have given us this knowledge.

They've come throughout the pram and mahamacharya, over the years, coming down all the way through thousands of years.

Nowadays everybody must be hearing this nonsense, this nonsense.

You have to find out where the actual pure sound vibration is coming, where the spiritual vibration is actually coming.

If you hear from the proper source, that hearing actually unlocks the dimension of divine love of Krishna Kanya as it sits within you.

Just by proper association, it becomes awakened.

By improper association, it becomes more and more covered, more and more covered.

So we have to have the proper association of the Monified Spiritual Master, the Monified Devotees of the Lord, because this actually helps us to come back to being who we actually are.

Would you like to be something you're not?

Would anybody like to be something they're not?

All we're really trying to do is know who you are and be.

Come back to being your actually eternal spiritual being, qualitatively, but the female personality of God.

So yeah, because we misidentify with these bodies, here we are trying to be a good looking male, a good looking female, whatever, you see, this is an illusion.

We have to stop misidentifying with these material bodies and come back to the actual nature of the self.

Because this body, what's the situation of the body?

I'm deathless, but I want to be in the body.

Maybe you're very happy to be in the body even when Acharya was praying like that.

At the time of death I would lose my equilibrium, so now I'm thinking of Krishna, let me die immediately.

Now while I'm Krishna conscious, I'm in a proper state of mind, let me die right now.

That's also there, that prayer from a greater chariot.

The fact is, we don't really want to, our normal mentality is that somebody comes with a gun to shoot me, I'll try to avoid being shot.

I'm riding in the car, I'll put on my seat belt to make sure I don't get killed in an automobile crash.

We all want to avoid death because our actual nature is we are deathless.

So the atheists study, and we gave the argument the other day, The atheists say it's all over the time of death.

Your nature is to die, but death is a natural thing.

Why do you have the tendency to want to live, my dear atheist friend?

Why do you have the tendency to want to keep living if death is a natural thing that's going to happen any second?

What difference does it make if I live an extra day or a day less?

What difference does it make if I'm just on the body and it's going to...what's the whole argument we gave the other day?

Why do you want to live if your nature is to die?

What is the tendency to have and want to keep living?

That's because the actual nature of the self, the soul within, is to live eternally.

But we miss that, doing the misidentification of the body, we put ourselves into so many difficulties.

But when you put yourself back in your actual consciousness, Jeevarasarupa Hai, Krishna Aranya, Siddhartha, you put yourself back in your actual consciousness and all your difficulties go away.

So all we're saying in this Krishna Kandhis movement is why are you touching yourself?

Eternal spiritual being full of knowledge and goodness.

So right now by acting in terms of your eternal nature, instead of your temporary nature.

See, right now we're misidentified with our material nature, which is not our actual nature.

Material nature is a covering of the self.

Because we're misidentifying for millions of lifetimes of the material covering, we're always thinking, speaking, and acting in terms of the material covering.
