Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu (Conversations and Letters)
Bhagavad-gita As It Is
BG Chapters 1 - 6
BG 2.63, Translation and Purport:
From anger, complete delusion arises, and from delusion bewilderment of memory. When memory is bewildered, intelligence is lost, and when intelligence is lost one falls down again into the material pool.
Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī has given us this direction:
- prāpañcikatayā buddhyā
- hari-sambandhi-vastunaḥ
- mumukṣubhiḥ parityāgo
- vairāgyaṁ phalgu kathyate
- (Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu 1.2.258)
By development of Kṛṣṇa consciousness one can know that everything has its use in the service of the Lord. Those who are without knowledge of Kṛṣṇa consciousness artificially try to avoid material objects, and as a result, although they desire liberation from material bondage, they do not attain to the perfect stage of renunciation. Their so-called renunciation is called phalgu, or less important.
