Ush ma nam prajur architi asittan vignah rdaya yata brajta mriji yata yata no palabdhetham grav ush ma nam prajur architi asittan vignah rdaya yuta brajta mriji yata yata yudha prashtam ragiyita yada when na nat bhava veta could feel on ground in the feet But the Vrita could feel ungrow in the feet, who shmanam heat, but you, of her husband, Artiti was serving as it she became Savigny, anxious.

Yata, as translation in purport, by His Divine Grace, Sheila Prabhupada.

While she was serving her husband by massaging his legs, she could feel that his feet were no longer warm and that she could understand that he had passed from the body.

She felt great anxiety upon being left alone.

But after her husband's company, she felt exactly as the deer feels upon being separated from its mate.

As soon as the circulation of blood and air within the body stops, it is in the understood the soul within the body has left.

The stoppage of the blood circulation is perceived when the hands and feet lose heat.

1 test whether the body is alive or not by feeling the heart's palpitations and by the coldness of the feet and hands.

Shri Rupa Sa Graja Tum Sahagana Raghulitam Vitaam Tum sajivam Sadayitam Sabadutam Padijana Sahitam Krishna Chaitanya Devam Sri Radha Krishnapuram Sahagana Lalita Sri Visakham Vitaam So what can we say?

Being in the Pabba is telling the difference, how to tell the difference between a living body and a dead body.

Well there are many things we can say if we want to dive deeply into the philosophy of Krishna consciousness.

Actually it brings us back to the very basic philosophy of Krishna consciousness.

That the soul and the body are 2 different things.

For the soul there is neither birth nor death, For the soul there is neither birth nor death, He has not come into being, does not come into being, will not come into being.

He is not slain and the body is slain." It's very interesting language here.

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

So in other words, we've never been in a state of non-being.

This has nothing to do with the material body.

The material body comes and goes like the changing of the seasons, the spring, the summer, the fall, and the winter.

But the soul itself has never come into being.

He doesn't come into being because he doesn't have to come into being because he's already been.

Not that he will come into being because he's always, in other words, all things are negated.

These things are negated because He is always existing.

Every existing, Nicham, He is eternally existing.

He's eternally existing, where does he come from?

He popped out of the void, he popped out of the oneness, where does he come from?

Well, he's the eternal, Krishna is eternally emanating an infinite number of living beings that have an infinite number of loving relationships.

Well if you start thinking about it, it's like yesterday we were on the morning walk and Mata Neela was with me along with my child.

He asked if he wanted to know about the soas in the rock.

He was actually kicking a rock as he was walking down the road.

He would kick the rock, he would walk forward and kick it again, and that way he was having fun.

He was wondering if the soas were in the rock.

And the fact is, Sarvagataha, as explained in the Bhagavad Gita, the soul is actually present.

Just like Krishna, the Paramatma, you see, he's within every atom.

Actually it's also described, Krishna exists within every atom, between every atom also.

There's nowhere where Krishna is not present.

The atom, Krishna is there and he doesn't exist alone.

So every atom actually has an Ajiva within it and all the life symptoms are not manifested yet.

But it's considered even in Bach how many living entities there are within every atom of the living entity.

So how can Krishna possibly manifest all these infinite number of living entities from himself?

He doesn't need to get empowered by somebody else or something else.

Krishna himself is the powerhouse, and how much power does he have?

He's unlimited power, unlimited beauty, unlimited wealth, unlimited knowledge, unlimited fame, unlimited renunciation.

It's actually hard for a little teeny-weeny, itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny little energy to even conceive of somebody who has unlimited power.

You think of somebody as some powerful politician or some powerful nuclear bomb or some powerful jet engine or some powerhouse lighting all the electricity from 100 miles around.

Our conception of power is very, very, very, very, very, very, very limited.

It's actually beyond our conception, I don't understand somebody else's unlimited power.

And Krishna's power is maintaining and sustaining each 1 of these infinite universes.

And Each universe has an infinite number of planets.

Just like here in this universe, it's a very small little universe.

And The sun planet, actually the sun planet is illuminated by the illumination of the sun beings.

It's like we have Earth beings, there are Sun beings also.

Can you imagine being a Sun being and feeling cool and calm on the Sun?

It's like we feel, in the night, spring morning, we feel nice and cool and calm and comfortable.

But the Sun beings are feeling cool and calm and comfortable.

And they're fire and body, they're feeling very comfortable.

We would feel uncomfortable on the sun planet if we get some special fire-proof suit with air conditioning inside of it, and somehow survive.

They're very comfortable with their powerful illumination.

There's a great energy crisis on this planet now.

The petroleum use of petroleum is polluting the water, polluting the air.

The water is becoming so polluted now that the beach in San Diego, nobody can even swim there anymore.

Can you imagine a nice beach where people used to enjoy swimming, diving, surfing.

So, but anyway, right now we're dependent on this petroleum, which is polluting the air and polluting the water.

But if we could somehow, and of course, they're struggling to utilize solar power now a little bit.

But it's just a mere infinitesimal fraction of what the power is actually there.

If they can somehow utilize, learn how to actually get a full utilization of the sun energy, then they can give up all this oil-based civilization, have a sun-based civilization.

Whether they can actually do that or not depends on their piety.

This always pollution, the air and water is actually simply a manifestation of their sinfulness.

The thing is if our hearts are polluted, then we create a polluted atmosphere all around us.

So there are some organizations like the Sierra Club wanting to get rid of all this pollution, but they don't realize that there is the actual solution to the pollution.

All this pollution, there will always be pollution in the atmosphere as long as our hearts are polluted with lust, anger, greed, madness, illusion and envy.

So there's only 1 solution for pollution.

So therefore we want to free this planet from its pollution.

We are the ultimate pollution solution, because if they can become Krishna conscious, automatically everything will become clean and pure.

So all worry about is about global warming.

We say, if you have a cool head, you see, the word global warming, we are the advocates of global cooling.

Not overly cool on the ice, but nice, comfortable.

They talk about, they worry about global warming.

If you have a cool head, the Prabhupada always said, have a cool head.

If you have a hot head, that means a lot of passion going into ignorance.

So cool head means Krishna consciousness.

Let's get rid of global warming and droughts and all the different problems that come out of it.

Some islands where they have to fly in water so the people don't die of thirst.

There's no water anywhere on that island.

They used to have plenty of water, but now, because of all the pollution in the air, this island is completely free of water.

So they have to fly in water so the people don't die of thirst.

That's how bad it's getting on this planet right now.

To make flying in bottled water so the people don't die of thirst how bad it is.

So we really need to get back to the original root of existence, that relationship with Krishna, the Supreme Personality.

So we have a very easy method to do that.

Krishna is kindly manifested in the form of His name.

So all we have to do is chant, Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama, Rama, Hare Hare.

We can sometimes say, when in doubt chant Hare Krishna, Don't we face so many situations every day?

We have an easy solution for all this confusion.

When you're in doubt, chant Hare Krishna.

Why not go to a psychologist or psychiatrist?

We are suffering here simply due to a lack of Krishna consciousness.

Because we forgot Krishna, we thought something else was more important than Krishna, and that's why we're here.

There's nothing else which can rival the importance of Krishna.

No matter money, no matter pain, or nice houses, or nice clothes, or nice girlfriends, or nice boyfriends, or whatever you may be running after.

You say, the house by the sea, or Harvard education, or a nice silk sari, or some nice jewelry and bangles, whatever you're running after, there's nothing that will satisfy us.

There is no satisfaction in this material.

Take my word for it, there is 0 satisfaction, even in the Brahma Loka, the topmost planet.

So why run after that place that has 0 satisfaction?

Why not go for that place that brings unlimited satisfaction?

We want to be satisfied, we're not happy by merging into oneness or merging into the void to try to kill the desire for satisfaction.

That's the natural part of being a living being.

That's the natural identity of being a living being.

If you're not a living being there's no consciousness, not even thinking about being satisfied.

But Krishna is the supreme satisfied and we can actually enjoy the same level of satisfaction that Krishna enjoys.

We can actually be, Krishna is tasting unlimited bliss.

And if we make our interest 1 with the interest of the Lord, we can enjoy the same level of bliss that Krishna is tasting.

Krishna is tasting unlimited bliss at every nanosecond and we can enjoy equally with God.

If we try to give up trouble as we're trying to enjoy separately.

That's our stupidity, our foolishness, our asinine-ness.

Here we are trying to enjoy separately from Krishna, like the hand trying to enjoy the food without giving it the belly.

But if we would, the hand, just like the belly gets the full benefit of the food, the hand gets an equal amount of benefit from the food.

So we try to satisfy Krishna's enjoyment that we can enjoy equally with Krishna.

We can have those who participate in Krishna's pastimes enjoy equally with Krishna.

The gopi, the gopik, the cow, the calf, the peacocks, the rocks, the sloop, they are all enjoying equally with Krishna.

Everybody talks about equality, we have to have equality.

But they don't realize as long as you base your sense of equality on a material body, you'll never have equality.

Now they gather in Germany, we think they're dogs and we want equal rights.

All the people who think they're dogs should have equal rights, so the people think they're human beings.

You can see how ridiculous this getting is.

So let's bring Sandy back to the human civilization.

It's shocking to me actually how crazy it's getting.

This whole transgender thing, can you imagine?

He goes to puberty, he's getting female breasts, and he thinks he's a female.

Why is it all about this transgender madness going on, you could ask.

Well, I can tell you the real reason why transgenderism is becoming more and more popular now in the world.

Some guy is not satisfied being a guy and some girl is not satisfied being a girl.

I'm thinking, well I'm not satisfied identifying as a male, so maybe if I identify as a female I can be happy.

I'm not happy if there's a female, if I identify as being a male I can be happy.

They've understood correctly you cannot be satisfied identifying as a male or a female.

I'm not happy being a boy or a girl, I'm not happy being a male or female, because I'm not a male or female.

I can negate my Male or female identity, it's very good.

But instead of trying to switch to the other side, the females might negate being a female and the males might negate being a male.

Why do you want to go to that side where the females are unhappy being females?

Since the females are unhappy, why should a male try to be a female?

They're unhappy being females, so let me go beyond this male-female level.

So we have a big, we actually have a solution for all the problems of the world.

Prabhupada's books are giving all the solutions.

So we have to educate these fools and rascals.

Even these big leaders, the big politicians, The rock stars, the authors, the philosophers, the college professors, the scientists, they're all fools and rascals.

I don't care how much accurate they be with so many PhD degrees, or so many this and that, so many war hero medals, they're all simply fools and rascals, every single 1 of them.

Don't be carried away by this so-called civilization.

So The only civilization, civil means civil, peaceful.

So there's no civilization outside of Krishna consciousness.

People are being murdered, people are being raped, people are being exploited, people are being severely beaten, they're being robbed, so many things are going on as routine daily affairs on this planet.

You cannot have true peace until you get to the peace formula.

Krishna bhoktaram cakata posam sarvaloka maheshvaram sudhru damasarabhutanaam ghatva mamashyam tamitsthati.

Bhoktaram cikatapasam sarvalokamahesvaram sudhridam sarvabhutaanam ghatvamahashaktam mitsitih 1 who knows me is the supreme honor bhoktaram sarvalokas bhoktaram sarvalokesam 1 who knows me me, the supreme honor, the supreme joy, and siridam sarva dhuta amam, the best friend of all living beings, he alone can have peace.

So why should we try for peace in artificial means by building big, big nuclear weapons and all powerful kinds of missiles?

We can have peace by getting stronger weapons than the Russians and the Chinese, then they can have peace by a more well-trained army, then they can have peace.

You can't have peace by having a stronger army.

As long as you, I guarantee you, my dear listeners, as long as we misidentify these material bodies, which are rotting corpses basically, they're heading to the grave, the crematorium, or the jackal living in the streets of the Parsis.

We're heading to destruction of this body.

The skeleton with all the bones and the muscles and the veins, the brain tissue and all these things, the eyes, all these organs that are working very nicely by Krishna's arrangement, they're all going to, they're going to deteriorate.

Like a flower becomes very beautiful, it blooms, becomes very beautiful, then it fragmented, it rots.

Like a flower, it blooms, it becomes beautiful, then it rots, and this body becomes very beautiful, and our youthful, and then it rots away.

Middle age, old age, and death, it rots away.

And it lasts no longer than a flower, but it lives much shorter than the lives of the demigods.

Their lives are much longer than the lives of the countless other day, I mean, how long they lived.

If there's any questions rolling in, look in our chat window.

There's some service for me in the kitchen.

You don't need me cutting some vegetables or something, stirring, putting some rice in the cooker, whatever needed to be done.

If not, let's look in the chat window and see if we have any questions.

So we can end it right now if necessary, because we're getting ready for Sunday feast.

Big big preparations going on in the kitchen.

How to stop being fooled, if I can chat with you.

How to stop being fooled until the time we stay in these material things.

Well if somebody has a car and I tell them you are a car, they believe that.

I'm a human being, what do you mean by Toyota?

I can see your lights, you got the red lights in the back and the white lights, and the lights on, toot, toot, toot.

You say, very nice Toyota you are, my dear sir.

I can see you, you can speed up, you can slow down, you can stop, you can back up.

Well, he has to go to the gas station and put the oil in the water or something like that.

So why do you think you're a material body?

Just because you have to take care of it.

It's like somebody thinks they're a Toyota.

Sheila, why I pray to Krishna, may your desire manifest for me still.

It is contradiction in my heart, is I desire something opposite to my karmic just by continuing to pray.

Here we have, the trouble is Bhaktan Shila, We have this tendency to enjoy several even Krishna That's my record up here and birth after birth after birth So I do curb that down We have this that's what we chant Hare Krishna chanting Hare Krishna, I think Krishna Krishna Krishna, how do you have the editing on?

Help to overpower that Then the low is either lower self and the higher self The lower self is you think you're a female, right?

I'm a female, in fact, I'm a she-male, I'm a female, a she-male, right?

So that, By chanting Hare Krishna, you don't need any special prayer, just chant Hare Krishna.

Chanting Hare Krishna is all you need to get out of this foolish idea that you're a woman.

It's like people smoke cigarettes, they think they're so happy.

They're spending so much money and they're getting lung cancer, they think they're happy.

Oh, it tastes so good, this nice cigarette.

They actually, it's miserable but they think it's happy.

Can 1 go on with illusory happiness and material wealth?

The whole life they go on with illusory happiness.

Just like in 1 example, I forget the details, but some man was dying and the spiritual master said, or somebody said, Somebody was telling the spiritual master that being attracted to the opposite sex, surely he would have given it up at some point.

Being attracted to the opposite sex, surely nobody is going to keep thinking about the opposite sex.

Some old person wouldn't be thinking about the opposite sex.

He said, bring your beautiful daughter with you, my dear sir.

So When they came in the presence of the spiritual master, this dying person, he said, look at the spiritual master, look at the young girl.

In the moment of death, he said, he's thinking of a young, beautiful girl, he's looking at the time of death.

We have to, we have to become attracted to Krishna's name.
