There was no necessity, but they have created such civilization that a certain section of people are voluntarily, or being obliged, lying down on the street, on the park, no dress, no food, no fixed . . . fixed-up sex life. Everything is topsy-turvied. Everything is topsy-turvied. But this is not civilization. This is not civilization. Then how they can understand God? Their mind is always disturbed and full of anxiety.
So first of all you have to come to the stage of tranquillity. Prasanna-manasa. Evaṁ prasanna-manasaḥ. Prasanna-manasa means always jubilant. That is . . . that can be achieved by this process: bhagavad-bhakti-yogataḥ, by devotional service, no by no other process. Evaṁ prasanna-manaso bhagavad-bhakti-yogataḥ (SB 1.2.20). One can be jubilant only by practicing bhagavad-bhakti-yoga.
There are many other yoga system—karma-yoga, jñāna-yoga, dhyāna-yoga, haṭha-yoga. Everything you endeavor for spiritual enlightenment, that is called yoga. So there are different types of yoga, but real yoga is bhagavad-bhakti, devotional service. Therefore in the Bhagavad-gītā it is said, yoginām api sarveṣām: "Of all the yogīs . . ." There are different types of yoga system and different types of yogīs also. But Kṛṣṇa says, "Of all the yogīs . . ."
- yoginām api sarveṣāṁ
- mad-gatenāntar-ātmanā
- śraddhāvān bhajate yo māṁ
- sa me yuktatamo mataḥ
- (BG 6.47)
"That yogī who is devotee and always thinking of Me, or thinking of Kṛṣṇa within the heart . . ." Yoginām api sarveṣāṁ mad-gatenāntar-ātmanā, śraddhāvān, faithful; bhajate. This is bhajana: Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. So he is first-class yogī who is chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra and thinking of Kṛṣṇa within his heart, first-class yogī. That is bhagavad-bhakti-yoga.
