Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

The advanced human being is called Āryan, means advanced. Anyone who is advanced in spiritual knowledge, he is to be called Āryan. So the Āryan civilization, Vedic civilization . . . when Arjuna, I mean to say, denied to fight, Kṛṣṇa accused him that "You are talking like non-Āryans. You are not Āryan." Anārya-juṣṭam, akīrti-karam arjuna (BG 2.2): "You are talking like a non-Āryan, and which will defame your reputation. Don't say like that." So Āryan means one who is advanced in spiritual knowledge. So Kṛṣṇa says that "If you increase your attachment for Me . . ." Mayy āsakta. Mayi āsakta. Āsakta means "attachment." "Simply if you increase your attachment for Me," mayy āsakta-manāḥ, "in such mind . . ." That is called, actually, meditation—the mind is always absorbed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is meditation.

There are two kinds of living entities: the liberated and the conditioned soul. So we should not receive any knowledge from conditioned person. We must receive knowledge from the liberated. So Kṛṣṇa, Bhagavān, the Personality of Godhead—who can be more liberated than Himself? Therefore He says, we should accept it. If you are fortunate enough, then whatever He says, you should accept it. He says that mayy āsakta-manāḥ pārtha yogaṁ yuñjan mad-āśrayaḥ (BG 7.1). Everyone, at least human being, advanced human . . . the advanced human being is called Āryan, means advanced. Anyone who is advanced in spiritual knowledge, he is to be called Āryan. So the Āryan civilization, Vedic civilization . . . when Arjuna, I mean to say, denied to fight, Kṛṣṇa accused him that "You are talking like non-Āryans. You are not Āryan." Anārya-juṣṭam, akīrti-karam arjuna (BG 2.2): "You are talking like a non-Āryan, and which will defame your reputation. Don't say like that." So Āryan means one who is advanced in spiritual knowledge. So Kṛṣṇa says that "If you increase your attachment for Me . . ." Mayy āsakta. Mayi āsakta. Āsakta means "attachment." "Simply if you increase your attachment for Me," mayy āsakta-manāḥ, "in such mind . . ." That is called, actually, meditation—the mind is always absorbed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is meditation.

Dhyānāvasthita-tad-gatena manasā paśyanti yaṁ yoginaḥ (SB 12.13.1). The yogīs, the real yogīs—not these gymnastic yogīs; the real yogīs—they, dhyānāvasthita, they always meditate upon Kṛṣṇa, dhyānāvasthita-tad-gatena manasā, by the mind. Yam . . . dhyānāvasthita-tad-gatena manasā yaṁ paśyanti yoginaḥ. Paśyanti means he sees, actually sees Kṛṣṇa. So this kind of yoga can be attained if we increase our attachment for Kṛṣṇa. Mayy āsakta-manāḥ pārtha yogam. This is yoga, real yoga.
