A
- A bhakta not only realizes Him (the Supreme Personality of Godhead) as He is but also associates with the Personality of Godhead face to face
- A child is first born of a good father and mother, and then he is born again of the spiritual master and the Vedas
- A conditioned soul in the material world has the disqualification of cheating. He has four disqualifications: he is sure to commit mistakes, he is sure to be illusioned, he is prone to cheat others, and his senses are imperfect
- A girl of demoniac quality should be handed over to a boy of demoniac quality. Then they will be happy. But if the girl is demoniac and the boy is godly, then the combination is incompatible; they cannot be happy in such a marriage
- A husband should be so enlightened that he should become the spiritual master of his wife in order to enlighten her in the advancement of Krsna consciousness
- A man tries to be happy by achieving the fruits of his own honest labor, but actually he becomes more and more entangled. One cannot get out of this entanglement unless he has perfect knowledge, or devotional service
- A mendicant sannyasi should not live anywhere for more than three days. He must be always moving because his duty is to move from door to door and enlighten people about Krsna consciousness
- A person engaged in Krsna consciousness is at once liberated from the influence of the three modes of material nature
- A person who sees that the Lord is sitting as Paramatma in everyone's heart and that everything is depending or existing on the transcendental energy of the Supreme Lord is in the highest devotional position
- A sannyasi is not supposed to take his wife with him. At the vanaprastha stage of retired life, or the stage midway between householder life and renounced life, one may keep his wife as an assistant without sex relations
- A statement was made by Lord Krsna in Bhagavad-gita. Sa kaleneha mahata yogo nastah: "In course of time the yoga system as stated in Bhagavad-gita was lost." It was coming in parampara, in disciplic succession, but due to the passage of time it was lost
- A very good example is set here: the husband goes away, taking the sannyasa order for self-realization, but his representative, the son, who is equally educated, remains at home to deliver the mother
- A woman is not supposed to take sannyasa. So-called spiritual societies concocted in modern times give sannyasa even to women, although there is no sanction in the Vedic literature for a woman's accepting sannyasa
- About forty years ago, in Indian marriages, the taste and character of the boy and girl were first of all matched, and then they were allowed to marry. This was done under the direction of the respective parents
- According to astrological calculation, a person is classified according to whether he belongs to the godly or demoniac quality. In that way the spouse was selected. A girl of godly quality should be handed over to a boy of godly quality
- According to Sridhara Svami, His (Visnu's) three pairs of opulences are complete riches and complete strength, complete fame and complete beauty, and complete wisdom and complete renunciation
- According to the Vedic system of marriage for producing children, every man and woman was enlightened in spiritual knowledge, and at the time of their combination to produce a child, everything was scrutinizingly and scientifically done
- After many, many years and many, many births of complete practice of yoga, one can see the lotus feet of the Supreme Lord in a secluded place
- Ahimsa means not being violent. There are eighteen processes for attaining knowledge and perfection, and by his vow, Kardama Muni adopted all the principles of self-realization
- Alone in a field, if one falls into a blind well and no one is there to save him, he may cry for years, and no one will see or hear where the crying is coming from. Death is sure
- Although Brahma is in charge of this material world, he is not exactly like the common living entity. Since he is liberated from the majority of the follies of the common living entities, he was in knowledge of the appearance of the S. P. of Godhead
- Although He (the Personality of Godhead) does not appear before those who practice yoga in a secluded place even for many, many births, He agrees to appear in a householder's home where devotees engage in devotional service without material yoga practice
- Although the material energy is an emanation of the Supreme Lord, He is not affected, as we are, by the modes of material nature
- Although they (so-called sannyasis) dress themselves as sannyasis, they still cannot free themselves from the four principles of sinful life, namely illicit sex life, meat-eating, intoxication and gambling
- And another word, samyag-yoga-samadhina, means by complete practice of the yoga system
- Aniketanah means "without lodging." He (a sannyasi) should not have his own house, but should depend completely on the Supreme Lord for his food and lodging. He should travel
- Another one of Krsna's names is asamordhva, which means that no one is equal to or greater than Him
- Another purpose of His (the Lord) appearance is cikirsur bhagavan jnanam, to distribute knowledge
- Another word mentioned here (in SB 3.24.45) is sarva jne. The Supersoul sitting within the heart is all-cognizant
- Any so-called religious system that is not in the line of devotional service is called adharma-samsthapana
- As a man cannot separate his life from his body, a disciple cannot separate the order of the spiritual master from his life. If a disciple follows the instruction of the spiritual master in that way, he is sure to become perfect
- As explained in Bhagavad-gita, Fourth Chapter, anyone who understands the transcendental activities, the appearance and the disappearance of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is to be considered liberated
- As stated in Bhagavad-gita, antavanta ime dehah: these bodies (material body) are destined to be destroyed
- As stated in Bhagavad-gita, only by devotional service can one understand the transcendental nature of the Supreme Lord and, after understanding Him perfectly in His transcendental position, enter into the kingdom of God
- As we are individual, the Supreme Personality of Godhead is also individual - but He is the supreme individual. That is the difference between God and the ordinary living entities
- At the present moment the so-called yoga system is prosecuted on the understanding that by agitation of the different stations of the bodily construction one can find that he is God
- At the present moment, because boys and girls are not married according to quality and character, most marriages are unhappy, and there is divorce
- Avidya means forgetfulness of one's identity. Every one of us is a spirit soul, but we have forgotten. We think, "I am this body." This is called avidya
B
- Bahunam janmanam ante: (BG 7.19) after many, many births, the jnani who has matured in transcendental knowledge surrenders unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Kardama Muni repeats the same statement
- Because Brahma is the first living creature within this universe, he had no teacher; his teacher was the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself, who is seated in the heart of every living creature
- Because He (The Supreme Personality of Godhead) is the bestower of the necessities of all others, He is called God
- Because we belong to Brahma's disciplic succession we should accept his statement that the real Kapila is the son of Devahuti and that real Sankhya philosophy is the system of philosophy which He introduced
- Bhakti cannot be executed unless one has realization of the personal feature of the Absolute Truth
- Brahma acquired knowledge directly from the Supreme Lord within the heart; therefore he is sometimes called svarat and aja
- Brahma assures Devahuti that her son will enlighten her, and after enlightening her He will travel all over the world, distributing the system of Sankhya philosophy
- Brahma could understand this fact because he is svarat, almost independent in receiving knowledge
- Brahma is also known as Hamsa because he can grasp the essence of everything
- Brahma is called Svayambhu because he is not born of any material father and mother
- Brahma knew well that Kardama Muni exactly carried out the instructions received from him and that he actually honored his spiritual master. To honor the spiritual master means to carry out his instructions word for word
- Brahma praises Kardama because he carried out the orders of the spiritual master in toto and without cheating
- Brahma, is a liberated soul. He worshiped the Lord's activities
- But since he (Kardama Muni) knew that the Lord Himself, as Kapila, had taken birth in his home as his own son, why was he preparing to leave home to search out self-realization or God realization?
- But the man who speculates forgets that he himself is subject to the four defects of nature: he is sure to commit mistakes, his senses are imperfect, he is sure to fall into illusion, and he is cheating
- But what is the position of a woman who is left by her husband? She is entrusted to the son, and the son promises that he will deliver his mother from entanglement
- By distributing Sankhya He would increase the honor of the devotees; therefore, Sankhya philosophy is not dry mental speculation
- By proper knowledge received from the scriptures in disciplic succession and by proper application of that knowledge, one can free himself from this binding combination of matter and spirit
- By seeing the Supreme Personality of Godhead one simultaneously sees and experiences the Paramatma feature as well as the impersonal Brahman feature of the Supreme
C
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu stressed, kalau nasty eva nasty eva na-sty eva gatir anyatha. In this age there is no other alternative, no other alternative, no other alternative than to chant the holy name of the Lord: Hare Krsna
- Complete practice of yoga means bhakti-yoga; unless one comes to the point of bhakti-yoga, or surrender unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one's yoga practice is not complete. This same point is corroborated in the Srimad Bhagavad-gita
D
- Devotees are not interested in speculative knowledge; the Sankhya enunciated by Kapila Muni is meant to establish one firmly in devotional service
- Devotees are so affectionate toward the Personality of Godhead
- Devotional service is such a powerful transcendental method that it surpasses all other methods of transcendental realization
- Devotional service to the Lord is so easy that even a householder can see the Supreme Personality of Godhead as one of the members of his household, as his son, as Kardama Muni experienced
E
- Even after much meditation and speculation, if one continues to think himself one with the Supreme Lord, it is to be understood that he is still in the last snares of the spell of maya
- Even though he (Kardama Muni) had the Supreme Personality of Godhead as his son, he had to respect the authority of the Vedas
- Everyone in this material world engages in achieving the fruits of his labor
F
- Fire is already present in wood, but by a certain process, fire is kindled. Similarly, God is all-pervading. He is everywhere, and since He may come out from everything, He appeared in His devotee's (Kardama Muni) semen
- Foolish people cannot understand the situation, and this is called ignorance, illusion, or the spell of maya. Human society should very seriously understand that the body itself is the source of all miserable life
- Foolish so-called scholars say that it is not Krsna whom we must worship and to whom we must surrender; it is something else
- For our activity we must have a body; without a body, without sense organs, there is no activity. But people are not inquiring whether it is possible to have an eternal body
- For people who hanker after material possessions, society, friendship and love, this knot of affection becomes very strong
- Forest - going means to take one-hundred - percent shelter of the Supreme Lord, as explained by Prahlada Maharaja in his talks with his father
- From the prayers of Prahlada Maharaja, we understand that He (Lord Visnu) appears garbed as a devotee in Kali-yuga. Lord Caitanya is that devotee
G
- Generally stri, or woman, is less intelligent than man; therefore, if the husband is intelligent enough, the woman gets a great opportunity for spiritual enlightenment
- God expands either as kala or as amsa. Amsa means "direct expansion," and kala means expansion of the expansion
- God Himself was present in his (Kardama Muni) home - why should he leave home? Such a question may certainly arise
- God maintains all other living entities, but no one can maintain God. That is His svacchanda-sakti; He is not dependent on others
- Going to the forest is compulsory for everyone. It is not a mental excursion upon which one person goes and another does not. Everyone should go to the forest at least as a vanaprastha
- Gunavabhase: He (the Supreme Lord) is beyond the three modes of material nature, but it is due to Him that the three modes of material nature are manifested
H
- Hamsa-yana, the airplane by which Brahma travels all over outer space, resembles a swan
- He (a grhastha) does not have to cook or offer fire for sacrifice because he is always engaged in Krsna consciousness; therefore he has already accomplished all ritualistic performances of religion
- He (Brahma) is called svarat because he did not go to any school or college to learn but learned everything from within
- He (Brahma) is the first living creature and is born from the lotus which grows from the abdomen of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Garbhodakasayi Visnu. Therefore he is called Svayambhu, self-born
- He (Brahma) returned to his own planet with the four Kumaras and Narada because they were not going to be married
- He (Kardama Muni) was a householder, although a yogi, but he had the incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Kapila Muni as his son
- He (Krsna) already exists in multiforms, but none of the forms are material. Sridhara Svami has commented that arupinah, "without form," means without material form
- He (Krsna) always has a transcendental body. But fools and rascals, who are called mudhas, consider Him one of them, and therefore they deride Him
- He (the Lord) descended as the son of Kardama Muni in order to fulfill that promise
- He (The Lord) is always there (within the heart), but in order to please His devotee, He appears as her son
- He (the Lord) is called bhaktanam mana-vardhanah, He who increases the honor of His devotees
- He (The Lord) is full in knowledge, renunciation, strength and beauty. He is full in everything, and no one can surpass Him
- He (The Supersoul) knows. I may forget my past activities due to the change of body, but because the Supreme Lord as Paramatma is sitting within me, He knows everything; therefore the result of my past karma, or past activities, is awarded to me
- He (the Supreme Personality of Godhead) appears when pleased by the worship of a devotee. A devotee may ask the Lord to appear as her son
- He (The Supreme Personality of Godhead) is always described as bhakta-vatsala because He is more inclined toward His devotees than toward other transcendentalists
- He (The Supreme Personality of Godhead) may assume the body of a human being, but that body is not material
- He is the supreme living entity and is never affected by maya, but we are subordinate, minute living entities, prone to be affected by the limitations of maya
- Here (in SB 3.24.42) the words anagnir aniketanah are very significant
- Here it is said that whatever is spoken in the Vedas and whatever is practiced in accordance with the injunctions of the Vedas is to be accepted as authoritative in society
- Here two words are used very significantly-yatha-silam and yatha-ruci
- His (Brahma's) abode is called tri-dhama-paramam. There are three divisions of the universe - the upper planetary system, the middle planetary system and the lower planetary system - but his abode is above even Siddhaloka
- His (Brahma) other sons - Sanat, Sanaka, Sanandana, Sanatana and Narada - went back with him in his swan-shaped airplane
- How one can get out of the miserable condition of material life is stated in Sankhya philosophy, and the Lord Himself is explaining this sublime system
- Human life is meant for conquering the insurmountable process of birth and death. That can be done as stated here. Mam bhaja: one must engage in the devotional service of the Lord
I
- I (Rupa Gosvami) offer my respects to Krsna, who has now appeared as Lord Caitanya
- I may forget, but He (The Supersoul) awards me suffering or enjoyment for the misdeeds or good deeds of my past life
- If a recognized devotee brings forth the Supreme Personality of Godhead as his son, how he should be praised! Brahma, therefore, not only worshiped the incarnation of Godhead Kapila but also praised His so-called father, Kardama Muni
- If he is in constant contact with the Supreme Lord by devotional service, the conditioned living entity also becomes freed from the infection of maya. This is confirmed in Bhagavad-gita: sa gunan samatityaitan (BG 14.26)
- If it were sanctioned (women taking sannyasa), Kardama Muni could have taken his wife and given her sannyasa
- If one can see the Supreme Personality of Godhead as He appears in different incarnations and understand that He has not assumed a material body but is present in His own eternal, spiritual form, then one can understand the nature of the PG
- If one carries out the order of the spiritual master by disciplic succession, or the parampara system, he overcomes the four defects
- If one has any identification with material things and executes devotional service for attainment of some material gain, that is viddha bhakti, contaminated bhakti. One can actually become liberated by execution of para bhakti
- If one is fixed in devotional service at the lotus feet of the Lord, he is not agitated, for he is introspective. He does not look outside to material nature, but he looks in to the spiritual nature of his existence
- If one is fixed in devotional service, he realizes his own self without false identification with matter and without affection for material possessions
- If she has a thin waist, a woman is considered very beautiful. All the daughters of Kardama Muni were of the same beautiful feature
- If the taste and character differ between the man and woman, their combination will be unhappy. Even about forty years ago, in Indian marriages, the taste and character of the boy and girl were first of all matched, and then they were allowed to marry
- In Bhagavad-gita it is confirmed that only a devotee can understand Him (The Supreme Personality of Godhead) as He is. Bhaktya mam abhijanati: (BG 18.55) One can understand Me only by devotional service, not otherwise
- In Bhagavad-gita Krsna says, avajananti mam mudhah: (BG 9.11) Those who are rascals and fools deride Me
- In Bhagavad-gita Lord Krsna advised Arjuna - man-mana bhava mad-bhaktah: If you want to be perfect, just always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me and offer your obeisances to Me
- In Bhagavad-gita Lord Krsna advised Arjuna many times to surrender unto Him, especially at the end of the Ninth Chapter
- In Bhagavad-gita the Lord says, man-mana bhava mad-bhaktah: "Just become My devotee. Just worship Me
- In Bhagavad-gita the Personality of Godhead always says mam, "unto Me," but the rascals misinterpret the clear meaning. Mam is the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- In Bhagavad-gita, Fifteenth Chapter, it is stated that the Lord Himself is the compiler of Vedanta-sutra, and He is the perfect knower of Vedanta-sutra
- In Bhagavad-gita, it is clearly stated that only fools and rascals, mudhas, consider the body of Krsna to be the body of a common human being
- In due course of time, a particular type of knowledge may be lost or may be covered for the time being; that is the nature of this material world
- In Kali-yuga the injunction is that no one should accept sannyasa. Of course, those who actually follow the rules and regulations must take sannyasa. Generally, however, people are unable to accept sannyasa life
- In old age the progress of woman depends on the grown-up son. The ideal son, Kapila Muni, is assuring His father of the deliverance of His mother so that His father may go peacefully without anxiety for his good wife
- In order to spiritually advance or to achieve the mercy of the Lord, one must be self-controlled in the following manner: he must be restrained in sense gratification and must follow the rules and regulations of religious principles
- In the beginning of creation, Brahma was concerned more or less with increasing the population
- In the Brahma-samhita it is stated that the Lord is one Absolute, but He has ananta, or innumerable, forms. Advaitam acyutam anadim ananta-rupam
- In the forest, fire takes place automatically. It is not that someone has to go there and set a fire; because of friction among various trees, fire occurs automatically
- In the higher sky there are living entities who can travel through the air without being hampered. Although we can travel in outer space, we are hampered by so many impediments, but they are not
- In the sannyasa order of life one cannot keep his wife with him. Otherwise, a person like Kardama Muni could have kept his wife with him, and there would have been no hindrance to his prosecution of self-realization
- In the spiritual world the unalloyed quality of goodness prevails; there the quality of goodness is called suddha-sattva, pure goodness. Another name for suddha-sattva is vasudeva because God is born from Vasudeva
- In the Vedas it is stated that He (The Supreme Personality of Godhead) is the chief living entity and that He bestows all the desired necessities of other living entities
- In the Vedic scriptures we find that if one has taken to the devotional service of the Lord in Krsna consciousness, he can very easily uproot the deep-rooted desire for fruitive activities
- In this age are all sudras and cannot follow the rules and regulations of sannyasa life. It is very commonly found that so-called sannyasis are addicted to nonsense - even to having private relationships with women. This is the abominable situation
- In this age of Kali married life will be accepted on the consideration of sex only
- In this age of Kali-yuga sannyasa is prohibited because persons in this age are all sudras and cannot follow the rules and regulations of sannyasa life
- In this age, hearing is more important than thinking because one's thinking may be disturbed by mental agitation, but if one concentrates on hearing, he will be forced to associate with the sound vibration of Krsna
- In this verse (SB 3.24.17) the activities and bodily features of Kapila Muni are very nicely described
- It is clearly said (samyak sraddhaya) that with great faith one should receive knowledge from the spiritual master and with great faith execute the performance of service
- It is not that after one practices some sitting postures he immediately becomes perfect. One has to perform yoga a long time - "many, many births" - to become mature, and a yogi has to practice in a secluded place
- It is not that because one is a fool and cannot speak nicely he therefore takes the vow of mauna. Rather, one becomes silent so that people will not disturb him
- It is not true that Sankhya philosophy is a new system of philosophy introduced by Kapila as material philosophers introduce new kinds of mental speculative thought to supersede that of another philosopher
- It is only by brahma-bhavana - the instruction by which spiritual knowledge is enhanced - that the knot in the heart is cut to pieces
- It is said by Canakya Pandita that a rascal appears very intelligent as long as he does not speak. But speaking is the test
- It is said by Canakya Pandita that a rascal appears very intelligent as long as he does not speak. But speaking is the test. The so-called silence of a silent impersonalist svami indicates that he has nothing to say; he simply wants to beg
- It is stated, mahajano yena gatah sa panthah: (CC Madhya 17.186) one should traverse the path which is followed by great personalities
J
- Jnana does not refer to ordinary research work. Jnana entails receiving knowledge from the scriptures through the spiritual master by disciplic succession
- Jnana entails receiving knowledge from the scriptures through the spiritual master by disciplic succession. In the modern age there is a tendency to do research by mental speculation and concoction
- Jnana means knowledge received through disciplic succession from the scriptures, and vijnana means practical application of such knowledge. Kapila Muni's Sankhya system of philosophy is based on jnana and vijnana
- Just as an ordinary living entity takes his birth by taking shelter of the semen of a certain living entity, the Supreme Personality of Godhead accepts the shelter of the semen of His devotee and comes out as His son
K
- Kapila Muni appeared as the son of Kardama Muni, but because Kapila is an incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kardama Muni offered respectful obeisances unto Him with full surrender
- Kapila said that the system of Sankhya philosophy was not exactly being introduced by Him; it was already current, but in course of time it was mysteriously lost & therefore He appeared to reintroduce it. That is the purpose of the incarnation of Godhead
- Kapila the son of Kardama Muni, in His system of Sankhya philosophy, very explicitly explained not only the material world but also the spiritual world
- Kapiladeva uses the word mam to emphasize that the Personality of Godhead is the ultimate feature of the Absolute Truth
- Kardama begot nine good daughters and one son, Kapila Muni, and thus his householder duty was also performed nicely, and now his duty was to leave
- Kardama Muni advised his wife: "You have to factually engage in devotional service with austerity and penance, following the religious principles and giving charity. Then the Supreme Lord will be pleased with you, and He will come as your son
- Kardama Muni encouraged his wife not to be sorry, thinking herself unfortunate, because the Supreme Personality of Godhead, by His incarnation, was going to come from her body
- Kardama Muni fixed his mind on the Supreme Brahman and realized Him through bhakti, or devotional service. This indicates that he fixed his mind on the personal feature of the Lord
- Kardama Muni followed the Vedic injunction that no one in sannyasa life can have any kind of relationship with women
- Kardama Muni instructed his wife, Devahuti, that the Lord would appear as her son and disseminate spiritual knowledge to cut the knot of material identification
- Kardama Muni practiced yoga very rigidly as a brahmacari before his marriage, and he became so powerful and attained so much mystic power that his father, Brahma, ordered him to marry and beget children as a householder
- Kardama Muni said, After many, many years of human suffering, all the demigods are now satisfied because Kapiladeva, the incarnation of Godhead, has appeared
- Kardama Muni states here the main purpose of his leaving home: while traveling all over the world as a mendicant, he would always remember the Supreme Personality of Godhead within his heart & thereby be freed from all the anxieties of material existence
- Kardama Muni was anxious about his good wife, Devahuti, while leaving home, and so the worthy son promised that not only would Kardama Muni be freed from the material entanglement, but Devahuti would also be freed by receiving instruction from her son
- Kardama Muni was Devahuti's husband, but because he instructed her on how to achieve spiritual perfection, he naturally became her spiritual master also
- Kardama Muni was to leave his family life to completely engage in the service of the Lord
- Kardama Muni's example is very instructive, for in spite of having the Supreme Personality of Godhead as his son, he left home just to obey the authority of the Vedic injunction
- Kardama Muni, by his perfect devotional knowledge and service, achieved this ultimate goal, which is known as bhagavati gatih
- Knowledge received from the bona fide spiritual master is not cheating. Any other knowledge which is manufactured by the conditioned soul is cheating only
- Krsna and the sound vibration "Krsna" are nondifferent, so if one loudly vibrates Hare Krsna, he will be able to think of Krsna immediately. This process of chanting is the best process of self-realization in this age
- Krsna appeared in the form of a devotee, but although He never disclosed Himself, Rupa Gosvami could understand His identity, for the Lord cannot hide Himself from a pure devotee
L
- Loka-palam: He (The Lord ) is actually the maintainer of all living entities
- Lord Brahma, as the first living entity within the universe, is supposed to be the spiritual master of everyone, and he is also the father, the creator, of all beings
- Lord Caitanya preached it (the process of chanting Hare Krsna) so nicely for the benefit of all humanity
- Lord Krsna advised Arjuna : "If you want to be perfect, just always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me and offer your obeisances to Me. In this way you will understand Me, the PG, & ultimately you will come back to Me, back to Godhead, back home
- Lord Nrsimha appeared from the pillar of Hiranyakasipu's palace
- Lord Varaha appeared from the nostril of Brahma, and Lord Kapila appeared from the semen of Kardama
- Lord Visnu is called tri-yuga. He appears in three yugas-Satya, Treta and Dvapara - but in Kali-yuga He does not appear
M
- Man and woman should not be united simply on the consideration of sex life. There are many other considerations, especially character and taste
- Many times in many Vedic literatures the Lord is described as purusa, which means the original form, the original enjoyer
- Material contamination continues as long as one thinks that he is as good as the Supreme Lord or is equal with Him. This condition is the last snare of maya
- Mauna means "silence." Unless one becomes silent, he cannot think completely about the pastimes and activities of the Lord
- Mauna necessitates refraining from nonsensical talking, and engaging the talking facility in the pastimes of the Lord. In that way one can chant and hear about the Lord in order to perfect his life
- Maya always influences the conditioned soul
- Mayavadi philosophers cannot understand these transcendental forms of the Lord, and being disappointed, they say that the Supreme Lord is impersonal. But that is not a fact; whenever there is form there is a person.
- Modern civilization is supposed to be making advancement in scientific knowledge, but what is this scientific knowledge? It is based on bodily comforts only, without knowledge that however comfortably one maintains his body, the body is destructible
N
- Nityasyoktah saririnah refers to the living soul, or the living spark, within the body. That soul is eternal, but the body is not eternal
- Nityo nityanam: He (The Lord) is the chief of all living entities; He is one, but He maintains many, many living entities
- No material weapon is needed to cut this knot, but it requires bona fide spiritual instruction
O
- On the material platform, everyone, especially the mental speculator, tries to be more prominent than others
- Once Hanuman, the great devotee of Lord Ramacandra, said that he knew that Narayana, the husband of Laksmi, and Rama, the husband of Sita, are one and the same, and that there is no difference between Laksmi and Sita
- Once Hanuman, the great devotee of Lord Ramacandra, said that he knew that Narayana, the husband of Laksmi, and Rama, the husband of Sita, are one and the same, but as for himself, he liked the form of Lord Rama
- Once the conditioned soul engages himself in devotional service, he also becomes liberated like the Lord
- One can become free from material embarrassment by becoming situated in factual knowledge. Sankhya means that factual knowledge by which one can get out of the material entanglement
- One cannot practice yoga in a city or in a public park and declare that he has become God simply by some exchange of dollars. This is all bogus propaganda
- One does not actually have to go to the forest. At the present moment this is not at all advisable for a man who has spent his life all along in big cities
- One does not take sannyasa, freedom from family responsibility in the renounced order of life, to make another family or to create an embarrassing transcendental fraud in the name of sannyasa
- One is called a muni when he remains grave and does not talk nonsense. Maharaja Ambarisa set a very good example; whenever he spoke, he spoke about the pastimes of the Lord
- One may be materially considered an illiterate man, but if he has faith in the spiritual master as well as in the Supreme Personality of Godhead, then the meaning of scriptural revelation is immediately manifested before him
- One must leave his family life and enter the forest after the age of fifty. This is an authoritative statement of the Vedas, based on the division of social life into four departments of activity - brahmacarya, grhastha, vanaprastha and sannyasa
- One should accept the instruction of the spiritual master as one's life and soul
- One should not remain always engaged in the responsibilities of family life because family life without Krsna consciousness is just like a blind well
- One should not think that he is freed from reaction because he has forgotten the actions of his past life
- One should not think that he is freed from reaction because he has forgotten the actions of his past life. Reactions will take place, and what kind of reactions there will be is judged by the Supersoul, the witness
- One simply has to concentrate on one's worship in good faith, as instructed by the bona fide spiritual master, and one's efforts will come out successfully
- One who can become the father of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is certainly a great devotee
- One who sees the Supreme Person can automatically realize the other features, namely the Paramatma and Brahman features of the Lord
- Other devotees are atmanandi, or self-satisfied, and do not take the risk of preaching work
P
- Param is explained further by the word, pradhanam, which means the chief, the origin, the source of everything - sarva-karana-karanam (Bs. 5.1) - the cause of all causes
- Parasya saktir vividhaiva sruyate: everything that we see is an interaction of His energies (Svetasvatara Upanisad 6.8 (CC Madhya 13.65, purport))
- Parivraja means an itinerant mendicant
- People are very anxious to understand the Absolute Truth in various ways, especially by experiencing the brahma-jyotir, or Brahman effulgence, by meditation and by mental speculation
- People who have accepted a temporary, material body are always full of anxieties. One should not, therefore, be very much affected by this material body, but should try to be freed
- Prahlada Maharaja advised that one should give up this well somehow or other and take to Krsna consciousness and thus be freed from material entanglement, which is full of anxieties

- Real goodness is in the transcendental world. Here in the material world, the quality of goodness is not pure. Goodness may exist, but there must also be some tinges of passion and ignorance
- Real knowledge and real liberation is to surrender unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead and engage in devotional service
- Real knowledge is expounded in Bhagavad-gita: "Just become Krsna conscious. Just worship Krsna and become a devotee of Krsna." That is real knowledge, and anyone who follows that system becomes perfect without a doubt
- Rupa Gosvami detected Him (Lord Caitanya) when he offered his first obeisances to Lord Caitanya. He knew that Lord Caitanya was Krsna Himself and therefore offered his obeisances
S
- Sankhya philosophy is the philosophical system enunciated by Kapila, the son of Devahuti. The other Kapila, who is not the son of Devahuti, is an imitation. This is the statement of Brahma
- Sankhya philosophy means devotional service. How could the honor of the devotees be increased unless Sankhya were meant for devotional service
- Sankhya philosophy will be broadcast by Kapila Muni for that purpose. His bodily features are also described herein - SB 3.24.17
- Sankhya philosophy, as stated herein (SB 3.24.36) by Kapiladeva, is tattvanam. The Sankhya philosophy system is designed to afford understanding of the real truth
- Sannyasa, or renunciation of material household life, necessitates complete absorption in Krsna consciousness and immersion in the self
- Sannyasi should be completely detached from fire and any residential quarters. A grhastha has a relationship with fire, either for offering sacrifices or for cooking, but a sannyasi is freed from these two responsibilities
- Self-realization does not mean that because the Supreme Soul and the individual soul are both souls they are equal in every respect. The individual soul is prone to be conditioned, and the Supreme Soul is never conditioned
- Simply by seeing the form of the Lord as He presents Himself by His own internal potency as Krsna or Rama or Kapila, one can directly see the brahmajyoti, because the brahmajyoti is no more than the effulgence of His bodily luster
- Simply by seeing the Personality of Godhead one realizes everything, and the result is that one becomes situated on the platform where there is no lamentation and no fear. This can be attained simply by devotional service to the Personality of Godhead
- Since the sunshine is the luster of the sun planet, by seeing the sun one automatically sees the sunshine
- Since they (so-called sannyasis) are not freed from these four principles (sinful life, namely illicit sex life, meat-eating, intoxication and gambling), they are cheating the public by posing as svamis
- Some devotees worship the original form of Krsna. When we say "Krsna" we refer to all forms of the Lord - not only Krsna, but Rama, Nrsimha, Varaha, Narayana, etc
- Some important things are mentioned here (SB 3.24.28) about yoga
- Someone may call himself independent, but he is still dependent on someone higher. The Personality of Godhead, however, is absolute; there is no one higher than or equal to Him
- Sometimes the father and the spiritual master may be the same man, and sometimes they are different men. In any case, the order of the father or the order of the spiritual master must be carried out without hesitation, with an immediate yes
- Spiritual knowledge vanquishes the knot of the heart. Matter and spirit are knotted by false ego
- Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura, in his commentary on Bhagavad-gita, has especially stressed the instruction of the spiritual master
- Such a great devotee (one who is fixed in devotional service) is never in trouble with others because he sees everyone from the platform of spiritual understanding; he sees himself and others in the right perspective
- Sudurjayam means "very, very difficult to overcome
T
- That everyone is existing on the Supreme Personality of Godhead does not mean that everyone is also Godhead
- That soul is eternal, but the body is not eternal. For our activity we must have a body; without a body, without sense organs, there is no activity. But people are not inquiring whether it is possible to have an eternal body
- That understanding (Understanding of a Devotee of God) alone is real because although jnanis, mental speculators, can realize only the effulgence, or the bodily luster, of the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- The activities of Kapila Muni are forecast herein: He will present the philosophy of Sankhya in such a way that by studying His philosophy people will be able to uproot the deep-rooted desire for karma, fruitive activities
- The Bhagavatam has enunciated that the Absolute Truth is present in three features - in the beginning as the impersonal Brahman, in the next stage as the Paramatma in everyone's heart, at last, as the ultimate realization of the Absolute Truth, Bhagavan
- The brahmana wanted to worship Nanda Maharaja because the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as a child, crawled in the yard of his house. These are some of the good sentiments of devotees
- The children produced in the modern age are not exactly human beings. Human beings must be twice-born
- The daughters should be handed over to the respective rsis, not blindly, but according to the combination of character and taste. That is the art of combining a man and woman
- The explanation was given by Lord Rsabha to His sons that this material world is an atmosphere of attraction between male and female. That attraction takes the shape of a knot in the heart, and by material affection it becomes still more tight
- The father and the spiritual master are on the same platform because a spiritual master is the second father
- The field of activity of the speculators is the mind; there is no limit to the different ways in which one can agitate the mind
- The first birth is made possible by the actual father, and the second birth is made possible by the spiritual master
- The first mother and father bring about his (A child) birth into the world; then the spiritual master and the Vedas become his second father and mother
- The four Kumaras and Narada are naisthika-brahmacaris. Naisthika-brahmacari refers to one who never wastes his semen at any time
- The higher classes are called dvija, twice-born. Whenever there is a question of birth, there must be a father
- The import of Vedic instruction is revealed automatically only to one who has implicit faith in the Supreme Personality of Godhead and in his spiritual master
- The intermediate devotee understands who God is, who is a devotee, who is a nondevotee and who is innocent, and he deals with such persons differently
- The knot of doubtfulness is tied when the soul identifies with the material world. That knot is also called ahankara, the junction of matter and spirit
- The laws of nature may work, but if one is fixed in devotional service, he does not look outside to material nature, but he looks in to the spiritual nature of his existence; with a sober mind, he simply engages in the service of the Lord
- The Lord descends either as Kapila or Rama, Nrsimha or Varaha, and whatever forms He assumes in the material world are all manifestations of His own personal internal energy. They are never forms of the material energy
- The Lord has form, otherwise how can it be stated here (in SB 3.24.31) , tany eva te 'bhirupani rupani bhagavams tava: "You have Your forms, but they are not material. Materially You have no form, but spiritually, transcendentally, You have multiforms"?
- The Lord has no material form, and yet, according to the liking of different grades of devotees, He simultaneously exists in multiforms, such as Rama, Nrsimha, Varaha, Narayana and Mukunda
- The Lord is already sitting within the heart, and if He comes out from the body of a devotee it does not mean that the particular woman becomes His mother in the material sense
- The Lord is always full in six opulences, as mentioned herein: wealth, renunciation, fame, knowledge, strength and beauty
- The Lord is always the Lord. Bhagavan madhusudanah - He is the killer of all kinds of demons, and He always remains the Lord, even if He appears as the son of a particular devotee
- The Lord is always the Supreme Personality of Godhead, although He appeared as the son of Kardama Muni
- The Lord is situated in everyone's heart. One does not have to seek the Lord outside; He is already there
- The Lord is the original form, but still He has multiforms. Those multiforms are manifested by Him transcendentally, according to the tastes of His multidevotees
- The Lord says, "I know everything - present, past and future - in every corner of the universe
- The Lord says, that He lives neither in Vaikuntha nor in the heart of a yogi, but He lives where His pure devotees are always chanting and glorifying Him
- The main purpose of sannyasa life is to be in constant companionship with the Supreme Lord, either by thinking of Him within the heart or hearing of Him through aural reception. In this age, hearing is more important than thinking
- The material world, which is moving under the spell of the three modes of nature, is also a manifestation of His (The Lord) energy
- The mind can be unlimitedly agitated, and thus one can put forward an unlimited number of theories. Sankhya philosophy is not like that; it is not mental speculation. It is factual, but at the time of Kapila it was lost
- The modern scientists do not have sufficient means to understand the process of victory over birth and death. Therefore, they set aside the question of birth and death; they do not consider it. They simply engage in the problems of the material body
- The neophyte devotee does not understand the techniques of devotional science, but simply offers devotional service to the Deity in the temple
- The nine principal rsis, or sages, are Marici, Atri, Angira, Pulastya, Pulaha, Kratu, Bhrgu, Vasistha and Atharva. All these rsis are most important, and Brahma desired that the nine daughters already born of Kardama Muni be handed over to them
- The order of the father or the order of the spiritual master must be carried out without hesitation, with an immediate yes. There should be no argument. That is real service to the father and to the spiritual master
- The ordinary living entities who are manifested in this material world have bodies created by the material energy
- The other rsis who came with him (Brahma), such as Marici and Atri, remained there because they were to be married to the daughters of Kardama
- The parents used to astrologically determine the character and tastes of the boy & girl, and when they corresponded, the match was selected: "This girl and this boy are just suitable, and they should be married." Other considerations were less important
- The preliminary process to become freed is to go to the forest or give up family relationships and exclusively engage in Krsna consciousness. That is the purpose of going to the forest. Otherwise, the forest is only a place of monkeys and wild animals
- The process of entering into the kingdom of God is tri-pada-bhuti-gati, or the path back home, back to Godhead, by which one can attain the ultimate goal of life
- The purpose of Sankhya philosophy is stated herein (SB 3.24.38). If anyone wants real, eternal life, he has to engage himself in devotional service, or Krsna consciousness
- The real truth is knowledge of how to get out of the material body, which is the source of all trouble
- The same system was also advised in the beginning of the creation by Brahma: "Your daughters should be handed over to the rsis according to taste and character
- The Sankhya philosophy is compiled by the Supreme Personality of Godhead in His appearance as Kapila
- The sannyasi's business is not to become proprietor of so many things and amass money from the innocent public. A sannyasi is proud that he is always thinking of Krsna within himself
- The six opulences - wealth, strength, fame, beauty, knowledge and renunciation - are indicated here by Kardama Muni, who addresses Kapila Muni, his son, as param
- The so-called silence of a silent impersonalist svami indicates that he has nothing to say; he simply wants to beg. But the silence adopted by Kardama Muni was not like that. He became silent for relief from nonsensical talk
- The son or disciple should accept the words of his spiritual master and father without hesitation. Whatever the father and the spiritual master order should be taken without argument: Yes
- The spiritual world is a manifestation of His (The Supreme Personality of Godhead) personal, internal potency, whereas the material world is a manifestation of His material, or differentiated, energy
- The sufferings are not extraneously imposed upon them; rather, the conditioned souls create their own suffering by their own acts
- The Supreme is also a living entity; He is not impersonal
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead does not appear as an ordinary child; He appears as He is. As stated in Bhagavad-gita, He appears by His own internal potency, atma-maya
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead is everlastingly, eternally the form of purusa, the predominator or enjoyer, and when He appears He never accepts anything of this material energy
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead is known as bhakta-vatsala. He is never described as jnani-vatsala or yogi-vatsala
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead is not formless; He is purusam, or the enjoyer, the original person. He is the time element and is all-cognizant. He knows everything - past, present and future - as confirmed in Bhagavad-gita
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead is the father of everyone. No one, therefore, is His father, but by His inconceivable energy He accepts some of the devotees as His parents and descendants
- The time factor is so pressing that in the course of time everything within this material world is spoiled or lost
- The varieties of transcendental forms exist simultaneously. That is also stated in the Brahma-samhita: ramadi-murtisu. .. nanavataram
- The woman must remain at home. She has only three stages of life: dependency on the father in childhood, dependency on the husband in youth and, in old age, dependency on the grown-up son, such as Kapila
- The word amsena indicates that the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, appeared as Kapiladeva in a portion of His portion
- The word bahu janma-vipakvena means after many, many births of mature yoga practice
- The word durasayat is very significant. Dur refers to trouble or duhkha, miseries. Asayat means "from the shelter." We conditioned souls have taken shelter of the material body, which is full of troubles and miseries
- The word kardamam is significant, for it indicates that the Lord had some devotional affection or relationship in devotional service with Kardama and Devahuti
- The word param is used in the beginning of Srimad-Bhagavatam, in the phrase param satyam, to refer to the summum bonum, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- The word parena is very significant. para means "transcendental, untinged by material contamination." Full consciousness that one is an eternal servant of the Lord is called para bhakti
- The word purtam means "in full." No one can claim that all wealth belongs to him, but Krsna can claim it, since He has full wealth
- The word samsaya means "doubtful knowledge." Speculative and pseudo yogic knowledge is all doubtful
- The word sevadhim means that He (The Supreme Personality of Godhead) is the original bestower of all the necessities of life upon the living entities
- The word sumadhyama means "a good daughter of a beautiful woman
- The word sva-mayaya, "by His own internal potency," indicates that whenever the Supreme Personality of Godhead descends, He comes in His own energy
- The yoga system of Bhagavad-gita was lost before the meeting of Krsna and Arjuna. Therefore Krsna again enunciated the same ancient yoga system to Arjuna, who could actually understand Bhagavad-gita
- There are different interpretations of tri-yuga, but it is accepted by all learned scholars that tri-yuga means Visnu
- There are many instances wherein the husband becomes the spiritual master. Lord Siva also is the spiritual master of his consort, Parvati
- There are many thousands and thousands of forms, but they are all visnu-tattva, Krsna
- There are three kinds of devotees - the neophyte devotee, the intermediate devotee and the advanced devotee
- There are two kinds of devotees of the Lord. One is called gosthy-anandi, which means those who are preachers & have many followers for preaching the glories of the Lord and who live among those many, many followers just to organize missionary activities
- There is a verse spoken by a brahmana in which he says that he does not know what the Vedas and what the puranas are, but while others might be interested in the Vedas or puranas, he is interested in Nanda Maharaja, who appeared as the father of Krsna
- There is an imitation Kapila who has a Sankhya philosophical system, but Kapila the incarnation of God is different from that Kapila

- There is no difference between the expansion, the expansion of the expansion, and the Supreme Personality of Godhead directly
- There should be no instance in which the disciple or the son says, "This is not correct. I cannot carry it out." When he says that, he is fallen
- They (atmanandi devotees of God) remain, alone with God. In this classification was Kardama Muni. He wanted to be free from all anxieties and remain alone within his heart with the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- They (fools and rascals) refuse to accept Krsna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead because they cannot understand Him
- They (people) are in want of something which they can enjoy eternally, but they do not understand how to attain that perfection
- They (people) aspire for an eternal body because even though they engage in sense enjoyment, that sense enjoyment is not eternal
- This does not mean that the nostril of Brahma or the pillar of Hiranyakasipu's palace or the semen of Kardama Muni is the source of the appearance of the Lord
- This identification of oneself with matter, which is called hrdaya-granthi, exists for all conditioned souls, and it becomes more and more tightened when there is too much affection for sex life
- This is a very important lesson. Even if one has God in his home as his son, one should still follow the Vedic injunctions
- This is confirmed in the prayers of Prahlada Maharaja: in Kali-yuga He does not directly appear, but He appears as a devotee
- This is explained in Bhagavad-gita: everything is resting on Him, the Supreme Lord, but that does not mean that the Supreme Lord is also everywhere. This mysterious position has to be understood by highly advanced devotees
- This is the process of spiritual realization; one has to receive instruction from a bona fide spiritual master
- This manifests His (the Lord) full independence to act in any way, and it does not mean that He is an ordinary living entity forced to take birth in a certain type of womb
- This material world is a place for suffering, which is due to the misdeeds of the inhabitants, the conditioned souls themselves
- This very example is cited in Bhagavad-gita: one should become like the ocean. The ocean is filled by many thousands of rivers, and millions of tons of its water evaporates into clouds, yet the ocean is the same unagitated ocean
- Those who are actually yogis practice in a secluded place, and after many, many births they become successful, provided they surrender unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is the completion of yoga
- Those who are forgetful of their eternal relationship with the Supreme Lord are in the blind well of family life; their position is very ominous
- Those who are searching after the Absolute Truth must take shelter of the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and worship Him
- To become free from birth and death is not an easy task. Birth and death are natural to this material body
- To go to the forest does not mean to become a monkey or a ferocious animal
- To go to the forest means to accept exclusively the shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and engage oneself in full service
- Two words in this (SB 3.24.13) verse are very important; one word is pitari, and another word is guroh
V
- Vedic authority says that a householder must leave home after his fiftieth year. Pancasordhvam vanam vrajet
- Vedic knowledge confirms that one becomes entangled in this material life because of ignorance and that one can become free from material embarrassment by becoming situated in factual knowledge
- Visnu, is known as tri-yuga. Another explanation of tri-yuga is that He has three pairs of divine attributes, namely power and affluence, piety and renown, and wisdom and dispassion
- Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura has stated that the order of the spiritual master is the life and soul of the disciples
- Vratam means that one should take a vow as explained in Bhagavad-gita, amanitvam adambhitvam, without hankering for personal respect and without being proud of one's material position
W
- We are conditioned souls, but He (Supreme Lord) is not affected, although the material nature has emanated from Him
- We learn from the pages of Srimad-Bhagavatam that the inhabitants of the planet called Siddhaloka can travel in space from one planet to another without impediment. They showered flowers on the earth when Lord Kapila, the son of Kardama, appeared
- We should not mistakenly understand that He (The Lord) was born just like an ordinary living entity from the semen of Kardama Muni in the womb of Devahuti
- What is that real truth? The real truth is knowledge of how to get out of the material body, which is the source of all trouble. Lord Kapila's incarnation, or descent, is especially meant for this purpose
- Whatever we see is an interaction of the three modes of material nature, but actually it is all an interaction of the Lord's energy
- When God descends in a form, this does not mean that He assumes His form with the help of the material energy. He manifests His spiritual form as He exists in His spiritual kingdom
- When he (Brahma) saw that Kardama Muni had already begotten nine nice daughters, he was hopeful that through the daughters many children would come who would take charge of the creative principle of the material world. He was therefore happy to see them
- When Kardama Muni understood that his son, Kapila, was Visnu Himself, he wanted to offer his obeisances. Therefore, when Kapila was alone he offered his respects and expressed his mind
- When Krsna or any one of His expansions or parts of the expansions descends on this material world, although He appears to have a material body, His body is not material
- When one engages in the transcendental devotional service of the Lord one becomes aware that his constitutional position, as an individual soul, is to be eternally a servitor of the Supreme Lord, Vasudeva
- When one is purely situated in the qualities of goodness, he can understand the form, name, quality, paraphernalia and entourage of the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- When one's mind is in full Krsna consciousness and one fully engages in rendering devotional service to the Lord, he becomes just like an ocean unagitated by waves
- When people forget their eternal relationship with God and engage in something other than devotional service, their engagement is called irreligion
- When the boy and girl are pleased in sex, they get married, and when there is deficiency in sex, they separate. That is not actual marriage, but a combination of men and women like cats and dogs
- When the conditioned soul realizes that he is subordinate to the Supreme Soul, his position is called labdhatma, self-realization, or mukta-bandhana, freedom from material contamination
- When the demigods become distressed by the sufferings of the conditioned souls, they approach the Lord to remedy the suffering, and the Personality of Godhead descends
- When the Lord appeared before Kardama Muni after his mature yoga practice, He promised that He would become Kardama's son
- When the Lord descends, all the demigods become enlivened
- When the Supreme Personality of Godhead appears, He brings with Him all His paraphernalia of Vaikuntha; therefore His name, His form, His quality, His paraphernalia and His entourage all belong to the transcendental world

- With a glad heart he (Brahma) praised Kardama Muni because the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as Kapila, had appeared as his son
- Without austerity and penance and without sacrificing one's riches, one cannot achieve the mercy of the Supreme Lord
- Without Krsna's mercy, no one can understand the Sankhya philosophy or any philosophy which is especially meant for liberation
Y
- Yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata (BG 4.7). Dharma means the real occupation of the living entity. When there is a discrepancy in the eternal occupation of the living entity, the Lord comes and introduces the real occupation of life
- Yogis can realize only the partial representation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead
