So the labor beating from Shema Bhagavatam, 4th candle, chapter 27, text number 23.

Let me turn off my volume, I'm hearing it.

Vehatasankalpa being disappointed in her determination, Kanyakala, the daughter of time, Yavanaishvara unto the king of the untouchables, Mahapadishtham indicated by untouchables, maha upadishtam indicated by me, asadya having approached, vavre accepted, namna of the name, mayam fear, patim as her husband.

Translation in purpur by his divine grace Shila Prabhupada.

After she was thus disappointed by me with my permission she approached the king the Yavanas whose name was Bhaya or fear and she accepted him as her husband.

Being the most perfect Vaishnava, she, Narada Muni, is always willing to do good to others, even the 1 who curses him.

Although Kalakanya, the daughter of time, was revealed by Narnamuni, she was given shelter.

Of course, no 1 could give her shelter, but the Vaishnava gives shelter somewhere to such an unfortunate girl.

When Jara or old age attacks, everyone dwindles and deteriorates.

In 1 stroke, Narnamuni gave shelter to Kalakanya and counteracted the ordinary Karmis.

If 1 accepts the instructions of Narnamuni, the ocean of fear and fear can very quickly be removed by the grace of the great Vaishnava.

Śrī gurūn vaiṣṇavaṁ śrī rūpaṁ sāgṛjātaṁ sahāgana rāganda tanvītaṁ tam sa jīvaṁ sadāyitaṁ sa vadūtaṁ parījana sahītaṁ kṛṣṇacetanya devaṁ śrī rādhā kṛṣṇapadam sahāgana naniṭa śīviṣa kaṁ vītaṁ śrī namā āṁdiṣṇu padāya kṛṣṇapraśyāya bhūtalaṁ śrīmate bhakti vadaṁ

tā svāmanīti nāmane Sri Radha Krishna Padam Sahagana Nidhi Tashi Vishakhanvitamstha.

Nama Om Dishnu Padaya Krishna Prechta Bhutale.

Namaste Sarasvathdeva Gurdwara Maniprachanane.

Nirvishesha Sanyavati Pastchichadev Sathane.

So, we live in a world where everybody is overcome by bio or fear.

There's fears going on at every step practically.

Afraid of a traffic accident, afraid of poverty, afraid of losing our job, afraid of not doing well on our final exam, afraid of so many things.

1 fear after another fear after another, stacked on top of each other, a huge mountain of fears going all the way to the sky.

But what is the name of our beloved Sounder Chariah?

His father gave him a vicharam and it was expanded by his Gurma Haraj, a vicharam of the Vindra.

1 who was fearless by taking shelter in the lotus feet of the Lord.

So my dear listeners, if we want to become fearless, then being fearful is not very fun.

Actually to be afraid is a condition of anxiety.

But we learn from Prabhupada Neem, 1 who actually takes charge of the lotus seed of the Lord becomes fearless.

By the grace Narada Muni 1 can become fearless.

So we hear 2 things, becoming fearless by taking short of the Lord's blood and feet, become fearless by the grace of Narada Muni.

These are 2 different things, no, it's the same thing.

By the grace of the Vaishnava, 1 becomes fearless.

In other words, on your own strength it is not possible to become fearless.

So the grace of the Vaishnava, like Narada Muni or the bona fide spiritual master, 1 can indeed become fearless.

Well, actually it comes from association.

Our tendency is to try to enjoy material sense gratification, taking that to be the goal of our lives.

The real question is how do we get, how do we take shelter, the load of speed, with the grace of divination of it?

Because right now we can say that honestly we're very fearful in a very fearful position.

We're afraid of this, afraid of that, so many things.

So as I mentioned momentarily ago by association, Sadhusangha, Sadhusangha Sarva Shastrikaya, Sadhusangha, Sadhusangha Sarvasiddhi Haya.

Now the association of the Vaishnavas, Sadhusangha, All the scriptures declare that by association with the Vaishnavas, all perfection can be achieved.

He created this huge institution, the International Society for the Krishna Consciousness, so we have full facility for associating with the Buddhas.

It's going in so many countries and so many cities and so many villages, so many places 1 can get that association, even if it's on the internet.

For Those who live in the remote corner of the internet are there also.

Then the books, the books are the widest, most powerful force.

Because by reading the books, you get association with the...

The All-Prapada also said, by reading Nectar Devotion, you get the direct association of Srila Rupa Gosvami.

I mean who can imagine something more powerful than Rupa Gosvami's association, but that there by studying the Nectar Devotion.

Well you get Krishna and Arjuna's association.

This is also emphasized by Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati Thakur, because his movement expanded again in a nice marble temple in Calcutta.

But then all the disciples were fighting, I can have this room or I can have that 1.

Everybody wanted to see which room they could have.

So Bhaktistha Nandita Prabhupada at Baddha Kunda, he said, I think we better sell that temple and use the money to print books.

So the temple is there and people in that neighborhood can come, but the books can go everywhere all over the world.

So we take advantage of these writings coming by Srila Prabhupada and those who are writing on his behalf.

Then the Krishna is present, the whole of the Siblic accession is actually present.

When we speak or write on behalf of the Siblic accession, not changing or adding to or subtracting, we keep the message exactly as it is, then actually the whole of the Siblic accession is present in those sound vibrations, either written or spoken.

So we get the association of all these great personalities, Lord Krishna himself, Lord Amuni, Lord Vimaya, all the whole line is there.

We speak or write on behalf of these previous Acharyas, the message coming down.

So we should not try to in any way tamper with these teachings as people like to do nowadays?

The science of bhakti as it is, you cannot invent a new version of the science of bhakti.

It's like 1 plus 1 equals 2, you can't change that.

I think 1 plus 1 equals 3, 1 plus 1 equals 4, you can't change it.

Mathematics is a science, and it can't be tampered with or changed.

The given science, 2 plus 2 equals 4, it goes on.

You can't switch it to something different.

So the science of bhakti is also like that.

You can't change it to something different.

Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and we are the eternal servants.

Like the Mayavadis, they want to change it.

So let's not be so foolish to fall into the trap of these mental speculators, the Mayavadis, the Kyanis.

Let us not be so foolish to fall into the trap of associating with them and taking lessons from them.

So we're not interested in being ripped off by these so-called gurus who are coming like Swami Bogananda.

We can make some humorous reference to Swami Bogananda when we relish his sense gratification.

Now we want Yogananda when he was actually relishing the bliss of being connected with the Supreme Lord.

The Vandavada spiritual master Yogananda is tasting the bliss of the yoking of being connected with the Supreme.

So we associate only with connecting with the Supreme.

For that association, we also become connected with the Supreme.

So that connection is very, very essential because that's actually a real identity.

We have nothing to do with these material bodies except we use them either for sense gratification or for reconnecting with the Supreme Lord.

You see, this human form is a very, very rare opportunity.

You've gone through millions and millions of births and every single species, although we've been in, the whole point is sense enjoyment, nothing else.

The dog's looking, where can I eat, where can I eat, where can I eat?

The monkeys are looking, where can I eat?

It's like we see in Vrindavan, the dogs and monkeys are scrounging, where can I eat, where can I eat?

There's always a door, what can I eat, what can I eat, what can I eat?

They have no mentality except eating, sleeping, mating and defending.

They have no consciousness of self realization, going to the temple, hearing the Kirtan.

They are simply caught up in eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, and mate, mate, mate, mate, mate.

So this human form of life, we have a very rare opportunity where the eatables are there.

Just like when a child is born, he doesn't think, but I'm going to eat.

Previously the mother had no milk in her breast, but as soon as the child was born, immediately by God's arrangement, the milk is there in the mother's breast immediately.

The child didn't have to make some arrangement, What can I eat?

So the human life is a very special opportunity where Krishna gives all facility.

We don't have to struggle so hard to eat.

The food is there, profusely the food is there.

The trouble is we create a society where we make it hard even to eat.

It's like they say to put some beans on the table.

We have to work so hard just to put a little food on the table.

We have to get out in the freeway, go to these huge traffic jams, worry about blazing the boss and not getting fired.

All this anxiety, hours and hours, just so we can come out and eat a few chapattis.

So we have made so much misuse of this human form that now it's difficult for a human being even to eat.

Because we have not taken the human life what it is meant for.

Now after all these 8, 400, 000 forms you got the human form.

Economic developments come automatically when we focus on self-realization because we have laid aside self-realization and become like dogs and hogs scrounging for some food.

Let us be actually intelligent persons who understand that human life is meant for knowing who I am, what is the purpose of my existence, how can I perfect my existence, etc?

So as we've been explaining recently, it's very rare, unfortunately it's very, very rare.

Manushanam sahasrishu yashkha kashchigat te desidhiye.

It's very rare to find people who actually care about these things.

We tell them about self-realization, and they say, what is that?

I just want to know where is money, where is money, where is money.

There's like that example of an Indian falling down from the heavenly planets and become a hog.

And now they need him back in the spiritual world because things were beneath his management.

So Brahmaji came to try to get him to come back.

I get to munch and enjoy all this fresh stool falling around.

Here I can have sex with my mother, even my sister and daughter.

So we tell people go back to God and think it's a myth.

We've also seen studies have shown the more you become material, opulent, the more you become atheistic.

The more you become, after sense enjoyment, the more you become the buddhism.

I am the source of knowledge and remembrance of the gifteness.

In the mind of those who are too attached to material opitance, we glitter by such things that resolution of determination with the Supreme Lord does not take place.

So we should not be so much running after money, money, money, money, money, sweeter than honey.

That's what they say, money, money, sweeter than honey.

Am I missing money or am I missing Krishna?

Brahmaji confirms, Papad confirms, we can actually see Krishna.

We can see Krishna easily, Papaji explains.

Instead of seeing Krishna, we're seeing money, money, money, money, money.

Those who are looking after money, they must become fearful.

But those who are looking after Krishna, they become fearless.

So let us go after Krishna and not go after money.

Mahabuddhas are foolish people caught up in this quagmire of sense gratification.

Money, money, money is sweeter than honey.

How can we come to the pathways shown by these great sages like Narada Muni?

why we need the association of Vaishnavas, Sikshaguru, Dikshaguru, and preachers of Krishna consciousness.

Because they remind us who we actually are.

Nijayate mriyate vaka-dachinayam buddhava vitha-bandhavuya ajonitnyam shishputo yam parano nahanyate hanyamane sri re.

For the soul there is neither breath nor death at any time.

He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being.

So Isn't it a shame that we keep thinking this is me?

This flesh and blood, this male body or female body or white body or black body or American body or Indian body.

Isn't it really shameful that we continue thinking this flesh and blood is me?

Not that I have a cold or I can't have a cancer or whatever.

So let's kick away this false identification of matter and that way we kill all anxiety, then kick fear into the face and get rid of it forever.

So I explain many times, you can't force someone to love you.

We need to become intelligent enough to do the right thing.

That's why we have the kirtan, the pashadam, the rt and all these things.

The japa, the regulated principles, we have all this stuff simply to bring us back to our intelligent position that I'm the servant of Krishna.

So we have to become very determined, very, very determined.

Come enthusiastic, determined, and patient.

Not an easy thing to get out of this bad habit we've had for millions of lifetimes.

So it depicted the sense gratification, how to give up the tendency to go after sense enjoyment in a place of desire to satisfy Krishna.

Well, it's a matter of, just like the tree, if you water the roots and leaves and branches, you're not going to be able to eat off the tree so much, but if you give water to the root, that's how you really benefit the tree.

water to the leaves and branches and some of that would

But if you put all the water in the root, then you're going to benefit the tree unlimitedly.

So we have to somehow find a way to dovetail everything.

Yad kadoshyadashanasi yad yadoshyadashanasi yad yadoshyadashanasi.

Every single, whatever you do, everything has to be connected with Krishna.

In the very moment we wake up in the morning to the moment we go to bed at night, and even in our dreams, we have to do them.

We have to see how I can put everything into the service of the Lord.

Sometimes in our dreams we find ourselves in a very big Buddha, in a horrible situation.

You wake up all, thank God it was only a dream.

Sometimes we have a very bad dream, we're trying to enjoy this way, we're being tortured in that way, and there's no solution, there's no solution, what to do, what to do, I'm helpless, and you wake up, oh, it was only a dream.

So that day will come, we'll wake up, oh, I was only dreaming, I was this male body, female body, Indian, American, white, black or whatever.

Oh, it was only, thank God, it was only a dream, you see.

Suddenly they'll wake up from this dream, but right now we're having a nightmare.

So the spiritual Master, the Vaishnavas, they come to wake us up.

Jeebjago, Jeebjago, Gaurakshan, Dhrubole.

So Chichandya is calling, wake up, wake up, you sleeping soul.

How long will you sleep in the lap of the witch named Maya?

Would you want to put your, if there's a witch would you want to lay down and put your head in the lap of the witch?

We put our heads in the lap of the witch Maya and we think, I have a good nap here.

We think we can put our head in the lap of Maya witch and have a nice good sleep.

This is why we have to take the shelter of these great Vaishnavacharis, Narada Tam, Bhakti Vinod, Bhaktisadana, Sarasvati, Narada Muni, Madhvacharya, the Goswamis.

We have to follow the example of these wonderful personalities.

Just like Vaghanath Das Goswami, who had an amazing example.

I recently put that in thought for the day.

A wonderful example he actually is of being renounced.

He said, I have to give this up because I'm a Nazi.

So the father was sending 4 servants and a lot of money regulated him.

So he said, well, let me utilize this wealth in Krishna's service and we'll have a nice big feast and invite all the sannyasis.

And then 1 day the feast wasn't coming anymore.

Lodzic then wondered, you're having all these feasts, what's going on?
