For 2828 Bhagavatam tam eva manasa granam vibhuvah pramadottama anam talam vidharam vasya rajasimhashadeshmani.

Tham her EBA, certainly, MANASA, by the mind, GRINAN, accepting, BABUVA, became, PRAMADAM, became Pramadan woman, Uttama, highly situated, after death, Hidarbhasya of Vidarbha, Rajasimhashya of the most powerful king, Vaishmani at the house.

Translation in purport by His Divine Grace, Sheila Prabhupada.

King Puranjana gave up his body while remembering his wife.

Consequently, in his next life, he became a very beautiful and well-situated woman.

He took his next birth as the daughter of King Vidarbha in the very house of the king.

Since King Praramjana thought of his wife at the time of death, he attained the body of a woman in his next birth.

This verified the following verse in Bhagavad Gita, 8th 6th, yam yam vapismadambavam, chijantyantay kaliviram, tam tam mevaitikam Teya, Tadabad Bababavita.

Whatever state of being 1 remembers, when he quits his body, that state he will attain without fail.

When a living entity is accustomed to think of a particular subject matter or becomes absorbed in a certain type of thought, he will think of that subject for the time of death.

The time of death, 1 will think of the subject that is occupied his life while he was awake, lightly sleeping or dreaming or while he was deeply sleeping.

After falling from the association of the Supreme Lord, the living entity thus transmigrates from 1 bodily form to another according to nature's course until he finally attains the human form.

If he is absorbed in material thoughts and ignorance of spiritual life and he does not take shelter under the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of God in Govinda, who solves all questions of birth and death.

He will become a woman in the next life according especially if he thinks of his wife.

As stated in Srimad Bhagavatam 3.31, karma na daivane prena.

A living entity acts piously and impiously, and sometimes in both ways.

All actions are taken into account, and the living entity is offered a new body by his superiors.

Although King Pranujana was overly attached to his wife, he nonetheless performed many pious, frugal activities.

Consequently, although he took the form of a woman, he was given a chance to be the daughter of a powerful king, as confirmed by the Bhagita 641.

Bhaktipunakritam Lokam Satvadasvati Sama Suchinam Srimad-Gaya Yoga Bhashta Pujayatin The unsuccessful yogi after many, many years of enjoyment on the planet's repised living entities, is born into a family of righteous people or into a family of rich aristocracy.

If a person falls from the path of bhakti yoga, God's realization due to attachment to creative activities, philosophical speculation or mystic yoga, he is given a chance to take birth in a high and rich family.

The higher authorities appointed by the Supreme Personality of God have rendered justice to the living entity according to the living entity's desires.

Although King Vrindrananda was overly absorbed in thoughts of his wife and thus became a woman, he took birth in the family of a king due to his previous pious activities.

The conclusion is that all our activities are taken into consideration before we avoid another body.

King Anarada Muni therefore advised the Asaade that 1 should take the Krishna consciousness, devotional service and abandon all ordinary occupational duties.

The advice was also given by Lord Krishna himself, although the devotee may fall off on the path of spiritual consciousness, none will thus attain a human body in the form of a now, now a devotee, a rich man.

In this way 1 can resume his devotional service.

Vandeham Sri Guru Sri Dattapada Kamalam Sri Guru Vaishnavam Shchashri Rupam Sagrachatam Sahagana Vaghanathan, Vitaam, Tamsa Jeevan, Sadaitam, Sababhutam, Parijana Sahitaam, Krishna Chaitanya Devam Sri Radha Krishna Padam Sahagana Lodita Sri Vishakhan Vitamcham Nama Om Vishnu Padaya Krishna Vreisthaya Bhutale Shri Matte Bhaktive Dant Smaminidhi Namine Namaste Sarasvati Deve Gauravani Pracharine Namaste, Satisfate Deve, Guruvani Pracharine, Nivishesha, Shunyavadi, Pashti Chidishatarine.

So you get what you deserve, put it very simply.

And the laws of nature are very accurate.

The laws of nature are not spaced out, they're very precisely accurate.

1 gets exactly what 1 deserves, or you can't cheat and beat the system.

Whatever you're thinking about, whatever you're doing, all these things are being noted and you get the reciprocation.

Therefore, we have to be observant and introspective and thoughtful.

Is this thinking, this activity I'm engaging in, these words I'm speaking, are these beneficial for my spiritual life or are they detrimental?

We have a tendency to embrace those things that are detrimental actually.

Due to our contact with the material nature and being habituated for millions and billions of births to those things detrimental, we become attached to them.

The detrimental things, we're attached to them.

So we have to transfer our attachment to those things which are beneficial.

Hearing about the Lord, chanting His glories, associating with Vaishnavas, taking charge of the Bodified Spiritual Master, etc.

So we've been described many times as a devotional service in practice.

So we keep practicing like this, the results will come.

It will take some time to overcome the past attachments of those things detrimental and actually become situated in Krishna consciousness.

Yāniśa sarvabhūta nāmaṁ tasham jagati saṅyami.

Yāsham jagati bhūta-nāmaṁ tasham jagati saṅyami.

But it is night for all beings and the time of awakening to the self-control.

The time of awakening for all beings is night for the introspective sages.

So we would tend to see those things which are detrimental to be beneficial.

We have to flip it over, get back to our original.

See, right now, it's the same, flipped out.

The old days, youth culture, these really flipped out.

Supposed to be standing, your head on the top and your feet on the bottom.

Feet in the air and the head on the bottom.

You become uncomfortable with things which are beneficial.

In fact, there was 1 song that said, blessed is the church service, makes me nervous.

I come to the temple, but when we're going to get rid of this artisan, we're going to take the shot on this.

We feel uncomfortable doing those things that are actually beneficial.

It's like the doctor gives us a medicine, we don't really like it, it's a bitter pill, but we have to take it.

So we have to then intelligently understand what is beneficial for me and learn how to become attached to those things that are beneficial by practice.

We can explain it again and again and again.

Because we still haven't realized it yet.

We can say these things, but we haven't realized it yet.

So the challenge is how to bring it from theoretical understanding to practical realization, from Gyan to Vijnan.

By the mercy of the spiritual master, by the mercy of the previous Acharyas, we can actually get to the position of practical realization.

If we find fault with the teachings, then we are in bad shape.

If you don't accept the Gyan, which many people don't, then big Gyan is out of the question.

First the Gyan comes, we have to accept, yes this is the Krishna Gyan, Krishna's words are the absolute truth, why they wouldn't be the absolute truth.

Some may argue, well I think my speculations are the emphasis.

The speculators say, we actually have no identity, there's no individuality, it's all just 1.

They take their speculation to be the authority, and they present their speculations as authority knowledge.

So we have to defeat their nonsense speculations.

It's all 1, as I was explaining recently in the video, that love cannot exist.

Do you want to live in a world without love?

I've heard that word before, sleeping in my memory.

By trying to love I was burned in so many ways.

We were burned by love in so many ways because they were not loving properly.

Instead of watering the root, they were watering the leaves and branches.

While the tree died, I watered it very nicely.

So we tried to love in the material world, become burned by it in so many ways.

We love this, we love that, we love him, we love her, so many ways we try to love.

I loved my dog and then he ran away from home and never came back.

Another person, his dog actually attacked him.

So, I mean, burning by it isn't trouble, it's we've not been loving in the proper way, and that's the problem.

We had to, we had to do the things properly.

So That's why we have the scriptures, that's why we have the spiritual master, we have the Vaishnavas, the teachers, how to do things properly.

Because when you do things properly, you actually get the desired result comes.

Improper and proper, very important to understand the difference.

If you merge it all into 1, then you can do things which you consider to be proper, but actually they're improper.

Krishna has given everything very, very nicely.

I understand who we actually are, but as our purpose of existence, how we can protect our existence, Krishna's actually given it very nicely.

We can actually take Krishna's instructions very seriously, very carefully and actually experience sublime, transcendental existence.

The difficulty is, even though we explain these things, they don't want to hear it.

They don't want to hear it, that's the problem.

They come and they go because they think, well, it's this fault and that fault, this fault and that fault, so I'm out of here.

So those who actually stick with it, they get the result.

Those who don't stick with it, they don't get the result.

As Bhagavad explains in his prayer book, they'll get it, they'll be able to, whatever advancement they made in Krishna consciousness, that's their talent asset, they'll be able to start in that position in their next lifetime.

In the family of devotees or a rich family of rich men, They have free time to cultivate their devotional service.

It's 1 thing to be very kind to them, give them loving kindness to these people, And at the same time, give them some transcendental knowledge.

And some, I don't know, many, many, many, many, many persons like that, maybe 1 will take it serious, serious interest in the Manusha Namasa Hasmashu question.

Yatatam ma'pi siddhannam kashyannam matitatpataha.

Out of thousands among men, 1 may endeavor for perfection, and out of a thousand who achieve perfection, hardly even 1 knows the truth.

Perfection and knowing Krishna is the difference.

I thought knowing Krishna was the perfection.

With some comes the perfection, but out of that only 1 out of a million will actually see the perfection.

The introductory level of perfection, and the advanced level of perfection.

Introductory while I know that my body, I know this mature world is not my home, it's my Vijnanis, they have some intellectual perfection in a certain level, but they don't have the supreme perfection.

When they theoretically accept these things, that is a certain type of perfection.

Because I have a chatre de sacsous, I'm learning to see through the scripture.

I have some theoretical understanding but it's not practical.

So many may get some level of perfection and realization, but out of that how many actually fully situate themselves in it, that's the distinction.

We can see the example of the Goswami, Sanatan Goswami, Rupa Goswami.

They were very powerful, very wealthy, wealthy.

They were getting big, big positions in the Muslim government.

They gave it all up and become mendicants in Vindavan.

They realize that practically they don't just stay radical.

They can clearly give up a wealthy, powerful lifestyle and become humble men and consider them dharma.

Vande Rupa Sanatana, Shri Jiva Gopalakur.

My dear Rupa Goswamis, Sanatana Goswamis, Siddhiva Goswamis, my dear Goswamis, right now I am drowning in this ocean of ignorance, completely bewildered by the modes of nature.

So please, my dear God's mami, if you fully realize the science of Krishna, Please bless me that I can also come to that perfectional stage and give the greatest pleasure of my spiritual master and the Lord Jesus Christ, the Supreme Personality of God.

This is a very powerful thing, Hengstead.

Keeva-vada-kama-ami-boda-suki, my dear Lord Nitsananda.

But I'm the most wretched, miserable fellow.

I'm Always making mistakes, always thinking the wrong thing, always saying the wrong thing.

I completely captivated them of the nature.

But my dear Lord Tanandha, because I am invisible like anything, my mind is very disturbed.

My mind is how the ever peaceful, my mind is always disturbed.

But my dear Lord Ananda, if you can kindly cast your glance of mercy upon me, then I'll come to become like you, always ecstatic." So that's the mercy of Lord Ananda.

Just imagine all you need is this merciful glance.

You need to get a fallen jagan madai, if you can somehow get that glance, actually the glance is available.

We have to desire that glance of Lord Nithyananda.

I'm going to continue trying to enjoy separately from Krishna.

The mercy is available, but we're not ready for it.

And the doctor has the cure for our disease, but we don't feel like getting in the car and going to the doctor's office.

You know, this suffering bed, too lazy to get out of bed to go see the doctor.

They're just going to lay in the bed and suffer.

Too much hassle to get up, make an appointment, get in the car, sit in the waiting room.

Too much hassle while just laying in the bed.

We don't want to make the endeavor to actually get the cure.

So how do we get inspired to get on the bed and go for the curing.

That's why the Vodis are there, the preachers are there.

Why are you, my dear sir, why are you torturing yourself laying in the bed when the doctor is right, is this 2 miles away ready to give you the medicine to completely cure you.

Therefore we say, vanchakapa tarubhya cha kripa sinthu gye bhaja pati dhanan paavanay bhyo vaishnavay vimnaman offer my respectful obeisances unto all the vaishnavas of the Buddha, just like desire trees, who can fulfill the desires of everyone, and they are full of compassion for the fallen condition of souls.

Not our material desires, but the inner most desire of every single living entity is to revive the avagabha in his heart.

The ultimate desire of every living entity is to awaken pure avagabha in his heart.

Everyone, Even the biggest Vajras, the Trams or whatever, everybody is actually desiring to awaken pure Gautam.

That's their desire, their innermost desire of every single living being.

So what if I understand this but I don't have the desire?

I mean I know it's in me but it's not manifest.

I know it's within me but I haven't connected with it yet.

I'm still floating around in the realm of material desire.

Even though I know it's bad for me, I'm addicted to the realm of material desire.

How do I awaken that spiritual desire within me?

He wants to awaken Pure Love again within the heart.

He knows it's already there, but it's covered by millions and millions and trillions and quadrillions and quintillions and sextillions of layers of lust, anger, greed, and man-delusion.

Bacchus puts himself in our position and teaches us how we should pray.

Aparada gucci, shudanam me brucci, Cri pavole humbe lido ye san char.

When my offense is ceasing, taste for the name increasing, When in my heart will your mercy shine, Kumbhumbh, O Sadhi Namah, When O' when will that day be mine?

We have to be in that mood of hankering, hankering, hankering.

I don't have it awakened, but I should be hankering every week.

It's like, Pop, but there's ten-and-a-half-hundred-cruise, like a child crying to the mother.

Here I am suffering like anything, trying to be the Lord, the enjoyer, the proprietor.

They should all be taking corrections from me.

Call out the holy names of Krishna like a child crying to the mother, please come and pick me up and save me, my dear Krishna, I'm drowning here in this ocean of illusion, confusion and perfusion, please take me up, please get me back to my original nature as your pure devotee and practitioner." We have this movement and we wake up every day, we have all our lusty, greedy, angry, selfish minds, we wake up with them every morning.

When I get out of my, I'll be able to experience Krishna directly.

Well, this mood of hankering, hankering, hankering, hankering.

It not only helps us to remember my duty, but it actually attracts the special blessings of Krishna.

This mood of feeling the pangs of separation from the Lord attracts his special mercy.

Just like you have some, see there's a bunch of starving people and a bunch of beggars and they're all sitting there, they're all hungry and you come with a plate of vishadam, and the 1 who shows the most enthusiasm gets the plate first.

The 1 who shows the most enthusiasm, they get the mercy, they get it, they look for his priorities.

So we have to show that enthusiasm to get out of Maya.

Not like, well, Obadi, Obadav, that goes on and on, whatever.

No, I must now awaken pure love within my heart.

I've got to kick out all this lust, anger, greed, madness, illusion, and the polluting my heart.

How does 1 intensify the desire for pure bhakti?

You have to understand, I know I must, if you know I must intensify it, then you can do that.

If you don't understand why you can intensify your desire, then you can do it.

It's like somebody, they have a desire to get a degree.

So If they don't take it very seriously, they can flunk out.

They'd have that intense desire to get a job or do well on your job, for example.

And this way you can beat your mind with shoes.

So I had some other idea to beat the damn thing with shoes.

My dear mind, please now engage yourself in the devotional service of the mind.

My dear mind, don't wander here and there looking at women or thinking about money or power or prestige.

My dear mind, you have 1 business only and that is to become a pure devotee and to spread it.

You have 2 businesses, Bhagyanasinga and Hidayanasinga.

Revolutionize your consciousness and revolutionize the world.

These are your 2 duties, Krishna within and Krishna without.

So we know what we need to do, then you do it.

You must take so many MGs in the morning and so many MGs at night.

If you don't do it, you may have another seizure.

Every time I sit down and take my meal there, it is sitting in front of me.

So in this way, we have to take good advice.

My doctor has advised me and I take it as my authority, not to have any more seizures, so they can follow his instructions.

For the spiritual masters, we have instead of seizures, We have birth after birth.

So the spiritual managers of the doctor, the assistant medicine, you have to take it so you won't have another seizure.

So you want to take another birth in the material world.

Taking another birth is a big time seizure.

You have to act dutifully on the instructions of the higher authority.

It's in at least 16 rounds every day of the Hare Krishna mantra.

No illicit sex, no mediating, no intoxication, no gambling.
