In this material world, our propensity is predominating. We want to predominate over you; you want to predominate over me. That is the competition here. So when we give up this predominating, false predominating spirit, "I am Kṛṣṇa. I am the Lord of all I survey," this nonsensical understanding when we give up, surrender, vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti (BG 7.19). Understand "Kṛṣṇa is everything, I am simply part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa," so if we remain part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa, then our freedom is attained actually. Otherwise there is no freedom. That is false. Mano-dharma. I am thinking, "I am God," "I am Kṛṣṇa," "I am this," "I am that." Nothing. This will simply put me under the clutches of māyā.

So simply by understanding Kṛṣṇa, janma karma me divyaṁ yo jānāti tattvataḥ tyaktvā deham, that person, after leaving this body, mām eti, he goes to Kṛṣṇa. And who can go to Kṛṣṇa unless he has got a spiritual body, the same sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ (Bs. 5.1)?

Unless one has the same vigrahaḥ . . . just like we can understand that when we take birth in a particular place, say in Greenland, which is always full with ice, or some other place, so you have got a particular type of body you get. There the animals, there the man, they have got a particular type of body. They can bear the severe cold. We cannot.

Similarly, when you go to Kṛṣṇaloka you'll have a particular type of body. What is that particular type of body? Sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ (Bs. 5.1). Any planet you go, you must have particular body. So tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti (BG 4.9). And as soon as you get eternal body, then you don't have to come back again to this material world. And that body, sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ body, means one who is completely conversant with the service, devotional service of . . . because you cannot enter into the abode of Kṛṣṇa with your predominating propensity.

In this material world, our propensity is predominating. We want to predominate over you; you want to predominate over me. That is the competition here. So when we give up this predominating, false predominating spirit, "I am Kṛṣṇa. I am the Lord of all I survey," this nonsensical understanding when we give up, surrender, vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti (BG 7.19). Understand "Kṛṣṇa is everything, I am simply part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa," so if we remain part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa, then our freedom is attained actually. Otherwise there is no freedom. That is false. Mano-dharma. I am thinking, "I am God," "I am Kṛṣṇa," "I am this," "I am that." Nothing. This will simply put me under the clutches of māyā.

Therefore, ātmānaṁ sarvato rakṣet means to put oneself in this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Then your ātmā, your self, is protected. Ātmānaṁ sarvato rakṣet. Tato dharma. Tato dharma. After you understand. People do not understand what is his business. He thinks that "My business is to eat, sleep, mate and die. That's all." This is animalism. Simply they are misled by animalistic civilization—eating, sleeping. That's all.
