Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

I am saying this from my practical experience from my Guru Mahārāja, from my spiritual master. He would never say that "I am going," "I am doing," no. "If Kṛṣṇa desires, then I shall do it." "If Kṛṣṇa desires, then I shall go." Like that. Always depending on Kṛṣṇa. This is called viśuddhātmā.


Lecture on BG 5.7-13 -- New York, August 27, 1966:

Viśuddhātmā.

And vijitātmā. Vijitātmā means he has control over the body, and jitendriyaḥ. Jitendriyaḥ means he has conquered over the senses. Jitendriyaḥ. Sarva-bhūtātma-bhūtātmā. And he has identified himself with all living entities. Sarva-bhūtātma-bhūtātmā kurvann api na lipyate. If he works in that condition of life, then he is practically doing nothing. Because we are being entangled in this material world, and according to the reaction of my own work.

So if I am situated in this Kṛṣṇa consciousness and I am in my ātmā, I am in pure state of my ātmā, and I am controlling my body and senses, and I identify with everybody, every living entity, then I have no entanglement, no reaction of my work. In this state, Kṛṣṇa says, naiva kiñcit karomīti yukto manyeta tattva-vit. "I am not doing anything." That is the stage

"A Kṛṣṇa conscious person, he never thinks that, "I am doing something." Even if you ask him that, "Are you going to such-and-such place?" Suppose it is settled that he's going to such-and-such place. If you ask him, "When you are going?" he'll say that, "I do not know when I shall go, but when Kṛṣṇa will ask me or allow me to go, I shall go."

This . . . I am saying this from my practical experience from my Guru Mahārāja, from my spiritual master. He would never say that "I am going," "I am doing." No. "If Kṛṣṇa desires, then I shall do it." "If Kṛṣṇa desires, then I shall go." Like that. Always depending on Kṛṣṇa. This is called viśuddhātmā.
