Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Yes, that is called vikāra, transformation of spiritual platform. Yes.
Lecture on BG 2.1 -- Ahmedabad, December 7, 1972:

Indian: May I ask you one question?

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Indian: When there is bhajana singing...

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Indian: ...which I can understand the words...

Prabhupāda: Hare Kṛṣṇa?

Indian: Or any bhajana of God. Then, you see, understand language and everything. You see, if it is just like Mirabhai and crying, tear comes from my face, and laughing, very instant laughing, laugh...

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Indian: And there is no other progress.

Prabhupāda: No, that is aṣṭa-sāttvika-vikāra (CC Antya 14.99).

Indian: Sāttvika-vikāra.

Prabhupāda: Yes, that is called vikāra, transformation of spiritual platform. Yes.

Indian: But still there is something more, something more.

Prabhupāda: No, that is the... When one cries, transformed, that means he's realizing Kṛṣṇa.

Indian: Yes, yes...

Prabhupāda: He's realizing like that. That is realization. Caitanya Mahāprabhu also used to do that. That is highest stage, mahā-bhāva.

Indian: Mahā-bhāva, yes...

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Indian: So then I go in bhajana, wash out everything; I feel myself that there is only soul, no body. And then you see a man who sings or who are present, you see, they are also not their body. Simply soul.

Prabhupāda: Yes, forget all material... Yes.

Indian: All these things. Then there is only soul.

Prabhupāda: Yes, that is perfectional, liberated stage.

Indian: Liberated stage.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Indian: And have you explained anything about this in your Gītā, in fifteen... You see? These three...?

Prabhupāda: Gītā is just to understand what is God. And then, when you are actually engaged in God's service, these things come. That is higher stage. Gītā is the ABCD of understanding God.

Indian: So it will give you some more reflection... You see...

Prabhupāda: Yes. But if we accept the ABCD, then we come to literature. Then we pass M.A. examination. Yes. So Gītā is the preliminary step, first step of understanding God.

Indian: I am reading Gītā from my childhood. I like it.

Prabhupāda: Very good.

Indian: Yes. So I think your Gītā will give me some more reflection.

Prabhupāda: Yes. I am explaining as it is. I am not interpreting. So it is being accepted.

Indian: So I should read it.

Prabhupāda: Thank you.

Indian: That's the inclination, that I should read the books.

Prabhupāda: (laughing) Very good.

Indian: Very good.

Devotee: Hare Kṛṣṇa!
