| <p>Prabhupāda: Yes. The ācārya or gosvāmī, their business is... Just like our ācāryas, sad-gosvāmī, they left their service, big service, ministership, and by the order of Caitanya Mahāprabhu they went to Vṛndāvana. But what for, going to Vṛndāvana and sleeping and eating? No, no, not for that purpose. They, rather at home they had time to sleep more, but when they went to Vṛndāvana they were sleeping only one half-hour to two hours only. At the present moment when a man becomes old, he requires more rest. But according to Vedic civilization, no more rest, more work, more work. But these gosvāmīs, they were deputed by Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu... At that time this Vṛndāvana, which you have seen, now it is nice city, but during the time of Caitanya Mahāprabhu it was a big field only, that's all, nothing was there. Everything, all Kṛṣṇa's līlā were vanished. Not vanished, it was not visible. Caitanya Mahāprabhu saw one small hole, little water, and He indicated, "This is Rādhā-kuṇḍa." Then Rādhā-kuṇḍa was discovered. So these Gosvāmīs were working very hard. And special business was there, nana-śāstra-vicaraṇaika-nipunau. They were very expert in scrutinizingly studying all the Vedic literatures. Nana-śāstra, śāstra, not ordinary knowledge. They were also reading(?). Nana-śāstra-vicaraṇaika-nipunau. Just like Rūpa Gosvāmī has quoted so many verses, so many incidences from different śāstras, how the biography is stated there in compiling Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu, which we've translated, Nectar of Devotion. So this Nectar of Devotion, because formerly whatever is given under Vedic evidence it will be accepted always correct. Therefore nana-śāstra-vicaraṇaika. They used to collect all the Vedic references and put into Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu to establish that bhagavad-bhakti, devotional service to the Lord, is the ultimate goal of life. Nānā-śāstra-vicāraṇaika-nipuṇau sad-dharma-saṁsthāpakau. Sad-dharma. Not asad-dharma. Asad-dharma means referring to the body, karma-kāṇḍīya. Karmīs they are engaged in asad-dharma not sad-dharma. Because the body is asat. antavanta ime dehā nityasyoktāḥ śarīriṇaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 2.18|BG 2.18]]). Ime deha. This body is antavat, it is to be perishable, therefore asat. Asato mā sad gama. The Vedic injunction is that. Don't be addicted to this asat, this bodily comforts of life. Sad-gama, try to revive your eternal life. These are the Vedic injunctions. Therefore Bhāgavata says, yasyātma-buddhiḥ kuṇape tridhātuke sa eva go-kharaḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 10.84.13|SB 10.84.13]]). Anyone who is accepting this body as self, he is no better than animal. Go-kharaḥ. Go means cow and kharaḥ means ass. The whole Vedic literature is like that. How to get the spirit soul who is now entangled or encaged in this material body. That is sad-dharma, that is sanātana-dharma. Sad means sanātana, which exists. Sanātana means eternal. What is sat that is eternal. What is asat that is temporary. So these Gosvāmīs they engaged themselves in studying all the different Vedic literatures.</p>

| | Pradyumna: (reading purport) "In the ''Bhagavad-gītā'', worship of the ''ācārya'' is recommended. The ''ācāryas'' and the ''gosvāmīs'' are always well-wishers for the general public." |
| | |
| | Prabhupāda: Yes. The ''ācārya'' or ''gosvāmī'', their business is . . . just like our ''ācāryas'', ''sad-gosvāmī'', they left their service, big service, ministership, and by the order of Caitanya Mahāprabhu they went to Vṛndāvana. But what for? Going to Vṛndāvana and sleeping and eating? No, no, not for that purpose. They, rather, at home they had time to sleep more, but when they went to Vṛndāvana they were sleeping only one half-hour to two hours only. At the present moment, when a man becomes old, he requires more rest. But according to Vedic civilization, no. More no rest; more work, more work. |
| | |
| | These ''gosvāmīs'', they were deputed by Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu . . . at that time this Vṛndāvana, which you have seen, now it is nice city, but during the time of Caitanya Mahāprabhu it was a big field only, that's all, nothing more than that. Everything, all Kṛṣṇa's ''līlā'' were vanished. Not vanished; it was not visible. Caitanya Mahāprabhu saw one small hole, little water, and He indicated, "This is Rādhā-kuṇḍa." Then Rādhā-kuṇḍa was discovered. So these Gosvāmīs, they were working very hard. |

| | And special business was there, ''nana-śāstra-vicaraṇaika-nipunau.'' They were very expert in scrutinizingly studying all the Vedic literatures. ''Nana-śāstra. Śāstra'', not ordinary knowledge. They were also reading. ''Nana-śāstra-vicaraṇaika-nipunau.'' Just like Rūpa Gosvāmī has quoted so many verses, so many incidents from different ''śāstras'', how the biography is stated there in compiling ''Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu'', which we have translated, ''Nectar of Devotion''. |
| | |
| | So this ''Nectar of Devotion'' . . . because formerly whatever is given under Vedic evidence, people will accept all it is correct. Therefore ''nana-śāstra-vicaraṇaika''. They used to collect all the Vedic references and put into the ''Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu'' to establish that ''bhagavad-bhakti'', devotional service to the Lord, is the ultimate goal of life. ''Nānā-śāstra-vicāraṇaika-nipuṇau sad-dharma-saṁsthāpakau. Sad-dharma.'' Not ''asad-dharma.'' |
| | |
| | ''Asad-dharma'' means referring to the body, ''karma-kāṇḍīya. Karmīs'', they are engaged in ''asad-dharma'', not ''sad-dharma.'' Because the body is ''asat. Antavanta ime dehā nityasyoktāḥ śarīriṇaḥ'' ([[vanisource:BG 2.18 (1972)|BG 2.18]]). ''Ime deha''. This body is ''antavat'', it is to be perishable, therefore ''asat. Asato mā sad gama'', the Vedic injunction is. Don't be addicted to this ''asat'', this bodily comforts of life. ''Sad-gama'': try to revive your eternal life. These are the Vedic injunction. Therefore ''Bhāgavata'' says, ''yasyātma-buddhiḥ kuṇape tridhātuke . . . sa eva go-kharaḥ'' ([[vanisource:SB 10.84.13|SB 10.84.13]]). Anyone who is accepting this body as self, he is no better than animal. ''Go-kharaḥ''. ''Go'' means cow, and ''kharaḥ'' means ass. |
| | |
| | So the whole Vedic literature is like that—how to get the spirit soul who is now entangled, or encaged, in this material body. That is sad-dharma; that is ''sanātana-dharma''. ''Sad'' means ''sanātana'', which exists. ''Sanātana'' means eternal. What is ''sat'', that is eternal. What is ''asat'', that is temporary. So these Gosvāmīs, they engaged themself in studying all the different Vedic literatures. |
