Lectures

Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Para-dāreṣu: "Except his wife." Except his wife. If he sees everyone as mother . . . and, mātṛvat para-dāreṣu para-dravyeṣu loṣṭravat: and others' money just like kula, garbage, not to touch. Para-dravyeṣu loṣṭravat. Just like there are so many pebbles on the street. Who is going to catch it or collect it? Similarly, others' money should be like that. Mā gṛdhaḥ kasya svid dhanam. Be satisfied what God has given you. This is paṇḍita. Not that making plan, "I am big lawyer, making plan how to grab others' money." That is not paṇḍita. How to entice others' woman—it doesn't matter. Even though relationship is very . . . so no, this is not . . . nobody's paṇḍita, even from material point.

You can produce food anywhere. Anywhere, any part. You haven't got to go from hundred miles away from Bombay city by the electric train hanging, full, for earning your livelihood. This is not civilization, making all people like asses. Kaṣṭān kāmān arhate viḍ-bhujāṁ ye. This is the philosophy of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Nāyaṁ deho deha-bhājāṁ nṛloke kaṣṭān kāmān arhate . . . (SB 5.5.1). Why you should? Kāma. We require to fulfill our . . . some desires. That desire means we have to eat something, we have to sleep somewhere, we must have a little sense gratification also, and we must defend. That is allowed. That is allowed. But why kaṣṭān kāmān? Why you should work so hard to satisfy your senses like the dogs, hogs and other animals?

That is the Kṛṣṇa philosophy. Be satisfied, plain living and high thinking. That is required. If you miss this opportunity of human life and spoil it like dogs and hogs, then you lose the opportunity. This is the . . . bahūnāṁ sambhavānte. Prahlāda Mahārāja says, kaumāra ācaret prājño dharmān bhāgavatān . . . durlabhaṁ mānuṣaṁ janma (SB 7.6.1). A child should be taught Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Kaumāra ācaret prājño dharmān bhāgavatān . . . dharmān . . . generally . . . (break) . . . kāma. Kāma means personal sense satisfaction, kāma. That may be extended, society-wise or family-wise or nation-wise, but that is kāma-saṅkalpa. But it should be extended to the topmost point, Kṛṣṇa. Aham ādir hi devānām (BG 10.2). Mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate. Then it will be kāma-saṅkalpa-varjitāḥ. And jñānāgni. Jñānāgni-dagdha-karmāṇaṁ tam āhuḥ paṇḍitaṁ budhāḥ. He is paṇḍita, he is learned. One who is working for Kṛṣṇa, not for sense gratification, he's learned person. Tam āhuḥ paṇḍitaṁ. Budhāḥ. Who will say paṇḍita? So this is paṇḍita. And Cāṇakya Paṇḍita also gave this description:

mātṛvat para-dāreṣu
para-dravyeṣu loṣṭravat
ātmavat sarva-bhūteṣu
yaḥ paśyati sa paṇḍitaḥ

Paṇḍita does not require any so-called education. Real education: paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ (BG 5.18). There is another place, here is also this paṇḍita. And Cāṇakya Paṇḍita also says paṇḍita. Who is paṇḍita? According to the material calculation, as Cāṇakya Paṇḍita says that, "That man is paṇḍita." Who? Mātṛvat para-dāreṣu: "One who sees every woman as mother." Para-dāreṣu: "Except his wife." Except his wife. If he sees everyone as mother . . . and, mātṛvat para-dāreṣu para-dravyeṣu loṣṭravat: and others' money just like kula, garbage, not to touch. Para-dravyeṣu loṣṭravat. Just like there are so many pebbles on the street. Who is going to catch it or collect it? Similarly, others' money should be like that. Mā gṛdhaḥ kasya svid dhanam. Be satisfied what God has given you. This is paṇḍita. Not that making plan, "I am big lawyer, making plan how to grab others' money." That is not paṇḍita. How to entice others' woman—it doesn't matter. Even though relationship is very . . . so no, this is not . . . nobody's paṇḍita, even from material point. Mātṛvat para-dāreṣu para-dravyeṣu loṣ . . . another paṇḍita, paṇḍita:

vidyā-vinaya-sampanne
brāhmaṇe gavi hastini
śuni caiva śva-pāke ca
paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ
(BG 5.18)

That is paṇḍita. And another paṇḍita here: jñānāgni-dagdha-karmāṇaṁ tam āhuḥ paṇḍitaṁ budhāḥ. These are the paṇḍitas. Not B.A.C, D.H.C., and doing all nonsense. That is not paṇḍita.
