Maya, by me, Upanitana, arranged, Granana, taking, Kamabhagam, the material to sense gratification.

My dear Lord, I have just arranged this city of 9 gates for you so that you can have all kinds of sense gratification.

You may live for over 100 years and everything for your sense gratification will be supplied.

Purple word, tanmada kamamokshanam dara samtrapthi hey tabaha.

The life is the cause of all kinds of success in religion, economic development, sense gratification and ultimately salvation.

When 1 accepts a wife, it is to be understood that he is being helped in his progressive march toward liberation.

In the beginning of life, a person is trained as a brahmachari and then allowed to marry a suitable girl and become a householder.

If 1 is thoroughly trained in house of life, he finds all facilities for human life, eating, sleeping, mating and defending.

Everything is there but is executed according to regulated principles.

Bhandehaam Sri Guru Sri Duttaam Shri Guru Bhaiyushna Vamstha Shri Vrupam Sagra Jatam Sahagana Raghunathan Vetham Sāgrajātāṁ sahagana-ragaṇātāṁ vitaṁ Tāṁ sajīvam sadhoyitām sabhadhūtām sadhoyi tam sabhatootam parijana sahitam krishna chetanya deva Sri Radha Krishna Padam Sahagana Lalita Sri Visakha Nritaamchak Nama Om Vishnu Padaya Krishna Prestaya Bhutale Shri Matte Bhaktivedanta Svaminati Namine Namaste Sarasvate Deve So, the purpose of the human form of life, to get out of this entanglement in the cycle of birth and death, to get back to our original position as the eternal servants of Krishna, shiva rasa rupa hai Krishna rinich dars.

The constitutional position of the living entity is, he's the eternal servant of Krishna.

So we have to get back to the original position.

So once you take the opportunity of the Varnashram system, as a Brahmachari, Ganesh, Varnaprastha, or Sanyasi, to connect oneself, to reconnect oneself with Krishna.

It's not something artificially imposed upon the mind, because Krishna consciousness is the original natural energy we're living in.

Imagine that wandering here and there all over the Milky Way, tuning into what's being said in here.

It's very important we learn how to focus and concentrate on the sound vibration.

It's called Shabd Bhaman, Transcendental Sound Vibration.

You be anam li ba'a ba'akhi vana'u pa'adash.

Tune in to a, what is it called, radio, Krishna Loka radio.

The sound vibration coming from the spiritual world.

The spiritual master is not inventing anything.

He is just transmitting the sound vibrations coming down from Goloka Vrindavan.

It is like the internet is there with the various transmitting towers that take it, keep it and transmit it on further.

Just like other, they're working on a project that puts Internet and satellites.

So people in rural areas, everybody can live in Internet.

And my disciples are working in the software now, we're designing them.

But Internet and satellites, everybody all over the world can tune in wherever you are.

But the point is, The real point I'm making here is we have to tune in to that vibration coming from Krishna Loka, Shraddha Brahman.

By tuning in we actually revive that original transminal nature.

Been sleeping inside our hearts for millions and billions and quadrillions of lifetimes.

We have to develop a very strong and determined desire.

Somebody in the eye is always giving you distractions.

Come here, enjoy this, smoke this, eat this, have sex with this, and so many distractions in the material nature to divert us from the actual pathway to get us out of this entanglement.

We have to have a, we have to have stick-to-it-iveness.

We have to have a very, very determined, you see.

Just like what is Krishna's, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, stick-to-it-iveness.

what is Krishna said, yavasi yatmaka bhudhe ekhe gha-kurananana mahu-shakah-yanantash-cha bhudhe-vam-yasayanam.

If we're not determined, if we're not fixed, then what do they say?

The intelligence of those who are not determined is mini-branched.

So we don't want mini-branched Bahushaqa.

We don't want mini-branched intelligence.

Even in the material world, people have become very successful, like Bill Gates or Steven Jobs or this guy Bezos.

These people were very fixed on how to achieve their goal.

They didn't deter them from achieving that goal.

They were totally locked in 24 hours a day to achieving that goal.

So this is the same way we have to be very, very locked in and determine, yes, I must awaken pure love of God within my heart.

Anything that's distracting me from that, get out of the way.

Get out of the way Maya, you're not welcome here in my heart.

I want nothing to do with you, no lust, no anger, no greed, no manace, delusion, envy.

Statutiveness is called in English language.

If we have the determination, Krishna says, I might say, surrender to me and reward them accordingly.

If you have that determination, I must be a pure devotee, I must kick out everything else, Krishna is going to reciprocate.

This devotee is not 1 of those wishy-washies, you know, little sense-guidance, little Maya, little Krishna sense-guidance.

He wants pure devotional service and nothing else.

And Krishna sees that's the mentality that 1 has and he bestows special blessings upon you.

But as Bhakti Manu Tukhuri says, this life can end in any moment.

Then he said, but I am not certain, nābhagili rishi keish, I am not sure the Lord of the senses rishi keish.

So just understand, you may be young, you may be old, you may be middle-aged, it doesn't matter what your age is, even the holosage is like in any minute.

It's like 1 day I was sitting on my computer and I had a seizure.

The next thing I do I wake up and there's an ambulance.

I woke up and they're carrying me down the stairs to the ambulance.

Even right now I'm giving this client a good job.

So it doesn't matter if you're young or old, people are dying all the time.

Even somebody's walking down the street, they got attacked by a pack of dogs.

Some 11-year-old kid, he was walking down the street, a pack of 4 dogs attacked him.

They wanted that meat, that flesh on his leg, to chewing his leg off because they were lusty for meat.

Left and coming at any time, a traffic accident, being attacked by dogs, a seizure, a heart attack.

We never know when that can come, so therefore we should be very, very determined.

I must serve the Lord of my senses, Rishikesh.

The Rishik must be engaged in the service of Rishikesh.

His senses do not belong anywhere else because the lotus feet are Rishikesha, nowhere else.

So in this way we have this determination, Krishna will say, oh this devotee, this devotee.

He doesn't want just a show bottle thing.

Someone told me the other day in an email, yes, I'm a great devotee, they wrote me.

So don't think that he's a great devotee.

he's not a devotee, That's when you begin to become Krishna Consciousness.

You think, I have no love, I have no devotion.

That's when bhakti actually starts, when you feel I'm not devoting at all.

So anybody else should realize how much a rascal you are, take that as a great blessing.

Most devotees always pointing out my faults.

I'm very fortunate to have this association.

Someone's always pointing me at a rascal I am.

It means they want to get some sense gratification out of them.

So let us find out that association actually helps us to get free from the illusion that I'm a great devotee, I'm a great soul.

I'm just begging, begging, Begging for the mercy.

When my offense is ceasing taste for the name increasing.

Just imagine mercy shining in your heart.

Just imagine if you had Krishna's mercy shining within your heart, illuminating, driving away all the darkness.

May the Krishna's sun arise within my heart.

Let's have the sunrise of Krishna Bhakti rising within our heart.

It's very powerful, it drives away all the darkness.

So when will that day be mine when the Krishna sun arises in my heart, driving away all my material misconceptions.

It's like Darwin, big material scientist, we all came from the apes.

Actually, we say that Dharma may have come from the apes, but I've not come from the apes.

We are human beings, we are not coming to these.

We are descendants of great human beings in the previous yugas, the Satya Yuga, the Traita Yuga, the Vrpa Yuga.

These previous yugas, religiosity, Penance, austerity, these things are very powerfully manifested on this planet.

So now we want to get back to that mood of the Satya Yuga, where there's austerity, there's truthfulness, there's cleanliness, mercy, fully manifested.

We want to come back to that Satya Yuga mentality.

Very clean, very merciful, very truthful, very honest.

We want to come back to that position like in the Satya Yuga.

We want to create a Satya Yuga like atmosphere on this planet.

That is the mission of our Krishna Ganges movement.

satya yoga like atmosphere on this planet.

We want to create a satya yoga like atmosphere on this planet.

Whatever you are, whatever you are, That's what you're emanating.

Whatever qualities you can manifest within yourself, you're emanating those qualities.

In your association with others, whatever qualities you have, You're affecting them also, having an impact on them.

If you're a rascal, your association will pull people down.

If you're a sadhu, your association will pull people up.

So our mission is to pull up the whole consciousness of the entire human race on this planet.

So by our association they will become uplifted and inspired.

This is what brought me to Krishna consciousness, the association of sadhu.

You see the qualities and the nature of a person who is ecstatically absorbed in chanting Hare Krishna.

He's actually tasting some nectar and sharing that nectar very fluently.

I want to have that sangha, those who are actually relishing Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Amarita, Lama, Lama, Hare Hare.

Kriyamanaji, do you want to add some points for questions?

During the question, if I succumb to some other things.

You will give further elaborations on the answers.

So Shri Laghudev, when we know that we are going to live this body at any time, so should we plan anything in our

You have to act as if you're going to live for a long time.

This ain't going to be ready in case that plan is interrupted.

Just like now, I've been working on this book, working on marketing the book, as if I'm going to live for a good while, obviously.

As if you're letting it live for a long time, as if you cover both ends at the same time.

have a diameter, and it's definitely sure.

Why should you even worry about cooking the noon after?

Somebody dies in the next 10 seconds, why are you worried about what should I cook in the noon after?

to live a long time or if you die immediately, be both sides covered.

No, that thing cooking, take the example, I said I have to cook for Adhidhamma when I die or I'm sick or malice.

If you're going to live, please, 100 years old.

If you live, there will be 100 of you, and you die a minute.

Well, you have to find out by begging for it.

When a person is alive, you have to experience it.

Follow by yourself the experience, then you know what it's like.

It's like someone says, if I take club jammas, they're very tasty.

I say, well, please describe to me how they're tasting.

You want to experience how the mercy shines.

You have to qualify yourself to have mercy shining within your heart.

But until you actually taste it, you won't really know.

Isn't that we are already designated what is going to happen and that's what we're going to do?

It is your concoction that you're gonna plan.

But if you plan, your plan will not work.

But for like you have your grace has mentioned that you are cooking for Radha Damodara that is it loving?

Whether she is sick or not, it's not planning.

That's the 1 thing we have to do is serving the Lord.

I'm not talking about family or anything, serving the Lord.

Just like I've been invited to attend the Guru's CBC Sangha, and we bought tickets to go.

I'm planning that I'm going to live long enough to go if I buy the ticket.

I'm thinking I'm going to die right now if I buy the ticket.

Wouldn't it be, even if you won that ticket, if the death is coming it will happen?

buying the ticket just in case I live long enough to go.

I'm buying the ticket just in case I live long enough

Just in case Krishna allows me to live long enough to go, I bought the tickets.

to arrange the booking in Delhi for a place to stay before we go to the airport.

So I made all these arrangements as if I'm going to live long enough, but I may not.

You follow it, but the thing is that depends on Krishna.

I can die right now, I can be able to handle that.

If I don't die for another 20 years, I can't be able to handle that also.

The point is you have to be able to handle both sides, not just 1 side only.

So both sides means you're going to accumulate some money for retirement?
