Lectures

Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

You have to take knowledge from the Vedas. And the Vedic knowledge is explained by guru. Therefore one has to take shelter of Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme guru or His representative. Then all these troubles, means ignorance, can be dissipated. Yac chokam ucchoṣaṇam indriyāṇām (BG 2.8).

In this way, Kṛṣṇa consciousness means adhokṣaja and aprakṛta: beyond the senses. Therefore, in the Bhagavad-gītā it is said adhokṣaja: where direct perception cannot reach. So where direct perception cannot reach, then how you can perceive anubhāva? That is śrota-panthā. That is śruti. You have to take knowledge from the Vedas. And the Vedic knowledge is explained by guru. Therefore one has to take shelter of Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme guru or His representative. Then all these troubles, means ignorance, can be dissipated. Yac chokam ucchoṣaṇam indriyāṇām (BG 2.8).

So now Kṛṣṇa may say: "There are . . . that's all right. You are, for temporarily, you go on fighting. And when you will get the kingdom, you'll be happy. There is no need of making Me guru. Neither it is . . ." Just like ordinary men, they think so that, "We are earning so much money. What is the use of making a guru? I can understand everything in my own way." And another rascal is, "Yes, yata mata tata patha. Whatever their opinion, that's all right. You can make your own opinion." That is going on. You can make your own opinion to understand God. So all foolish rascals, they're making their own opinion. No. That is not possible.

Therefore Kṛṣṇa . . . Arjuna says, avāpya bhūmāu asaptnam ṛddham (BG 2.8). This is very significant word, sapatni. Sapatni means rival wife, co-wife. If a man has got two, three wives . . . why two, three? Our Lord had 16,100. So this is God. So sapatnya, but there is no competition. You'll find in the statements of all the queens in Kṛṣṇa Book, when they were talking with Kuntī, er, Draupadī, every wife was giving description that how much she was anxious to become maidservant of Kṛṣṇa.
