These two verses were vairāgya-vidyā-nija-bhakti-yoga. These are very important. This bhakti-yoga is vairāgya-vidyā, educating people to become unattached to material enjoyment. Just like when we are coming here, hundreds and thousands of people, they are enjoying the beach. People are so much attached to this material enjoyment they have come here from thousands and thousands of miles away just to take the beach and enjoy the material happiness.

Many devotees of Lord Caitanya have composed different verses, authorized verses. Some of them attempted on this occasion of installing the deities of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. The most important verse is one . . . not one—he composed one hundred verses, Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya. He was a staunch logician, Māyāvādī philosopher. Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu defeated him, and he become later on disciple of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, and adoration, glorification of Lord Caitanya, he composed one hundred verses. He was a very learned scholar, Sanskrit scholar. So Cait . . . this was handed over to Caitanya Mahāprabhu, and when He saw that all the verses were in glorification of His activities, He torn it and thrown it away. So out of that hundred verses, only two verses could be recomposed again by picking up the torn paper. (audience laughs) Don’t laugh.

So these two verses were vairāgya-vidyā-nija-bhakti-yoga. These are very important. This bhakti-yoga is vairāgya-vidyā, educating people to become unattached to material enjoyment. Just like when we are coming here, hundreds and thousands of people, they are enjoying the beach. People are so much attached to this material enjoyment they have come here from thousands and thousands of miles away just to take the beach and enjoy the material happiness. But people are so attached—not only human beings; even others than human beings—bees, birds, everyone—the central attachment is sex. In any society that is the bondage of material conditioning. These living entities are compared by this sex attachment, priya-kunśa. Man is hankering after woman; woman is hankering after man. This is the secret of binding the living entities in this material world. Puṁsaḥ striyā mithunī-bhāvam etat. This whole material situation means attachment of two sexes. This is, of course, there in the spiritual world, just like Kṛṣṇa and Rādhārāṇī. But that is a different thing. That is spiritual completely. There is no material, what is it called, abominable, inebriety. Here sex enjoyment means behind that, after that sex enjoyment, there are so many botherations. So many botherations. Therefore they want to avoid the botherations by chemical method, by contraceptive method. They don't want the botheration, but they want the pleasure. But there is a place where there is no botheration, but there is pleasure.

So vairāgya-vidyā means to teach people how to become unattached to this material world.
