Prabhupāda: Yoga means to connect with Kṛṣṇa. Nirbandhe kṛṣṇa-sambandha. That is yoga. (break) ...in touch with Kṛṣṇa, this Hare Kṛṣṇa. Always in touch. Because the Kṛṣṇa's name and Kṛṣṇa is nondifferent. So if you chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, then you are always in Kṛṣṇa, with Kṛṣṇa. Even while walking on the beach, chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa means we are walking with Kṛṣṇa.
Dr. Patel: And we are reading this Bhagavad-gītā. Here, we are chanting.
Prabhupāda: Yes. That is also.
Dr. Patel: Chanting, no?
Prabhupāda: That is also chanting. Yes, yes.
Dr. Patel:
- yāvat sañjāyate kiñcit
- sattvaṁ sthāvara-jaṅgamam
- kṣetra-kṣetrajña-saṁyogāt
- tad viddhi bharatarṣabha
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Dr. Patel: Samaṁ sarveṣu bhūteṣu...
Prabhupāda: The whole world... That is another way explained.
- apareyam itas tu (anyāṁ)
- viddhi me prakṛtiṁ parā
- jīva-bhūtāṁ mahā-bāho
- yayedaṁ dhāryate jagat
- (BG 7.5)
Why... Why this whole world is going on? Cosmic manifestation? The kṣetra-kṣetra-jña. Because the kṣetra is there, matter, and the spirit soul is there, therefore the whole world is going on. Why the trees, (I) mean, living? Because the kṣetra is there.
Dr. Patel: Kṣetra-jña.
Prabhupāda: Kṣetra-jña, yes. Kṣetra is also there; kṣetra-jña is also there.
Dr. Patel: Kṣetra is the tree and kṣetra-jña is...
Prabhupāda: This body's also. The kṣetra is there, kṣetra-jña is there. Similarly...
Dr. Patel: Samaṁ sarveṣu bhūteṣu...
Prabhupāda: Samaṁ sarveṣu bhūteṣu means the kṣetra-jña is there.
Dr. Patel: Tiṣṭhantaṁ parameśvaram...
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Dr. Patel: Vinaśyatsv avinaśyantaṁ...
Prabhupāda: There is also Paramātmā. It does not mean because he's dog, there is no Paramātmā. There is also Paramātmā. Because Kṛṣṇa says, īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati (BG 18.61). Kṛṣṇa does not discriminate that "I shall not remain within the body of dog. I shall remain within the body of a brāhmaṇa only." No. Sarva-kṣetreṣu bhārata. This is samatā, that... Because a devotee can understand that Kṛṣṇa is there within the dog, within the cat... Simi...,
- vidyā-vinaya-sampanne
- brāhmaṇe gavi hastini
- śuni caiva śva-pāke ca
- paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ
- (BG 5.18)
He knows that in everywhere, in every body, there is the Paramātmā. And ātmā also. Then samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu.
Dr. Patel:
- samaṁ sarveṣu bhūteṣu
- tiṣṭhantaṁ parameśvaram
- vinaśyatsv avinaśyantaṁ
- yaḥ paśyati sa paśyati
- (BG 13.28)
Prabhupāda: Ah.
Dr. Patel:
- samaṁ paśyan hi sarvatra
- samavasthitam īśvaram
- na hinasty ātmanātmānaṁ
- tato yāti parāṁ gatim
- (BG 13.29)
Prabhupāda: That, that samata, he knows that Paramātmā is everywhere. Aṇḍāntara-stha-paramāṇu-cayāntara-sthaṁ (Bs. 5.35). But that does not mean paramāṇu has become Paramātmā. Daridra has become Nārāyaṇa. This is rascaldom. This is rascaldom. Daridra is daridra. But you know, within the daridra, there is Nārāyaṇa. That is another thing. But that does not mean Nārāyaṇa has become daridra. This is rascaldom.
