Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures

So your name is Jagarini. Jagarini - who is always awake; never sleeps. Just see. This life is for jagarana. Uttisthata jagrata. Everyone is sleeping, dull, like animal. The animals are sleeping. Although they are running very fast, but according to śāstra, they are sleeping because they do not know what is life. So anyone who does not know what is the value of life, he is sleeping.


Jagadīśa: Everybody has neck beads? Bali-mardana?

Prabhupāda: (leads chanting of mantra again)

nama apavitraḥ pavitra vā
sarvāvasthāṁ gato 'pi vā
yaḥ smaret puṇḍarīkākṣaṁ
sa bahyābhyantaraḥ śuciḥ
śrī viṣṇu śrī viṣṇu śrī viṣṇu

So? Call. Come on.

Devotee: Andy.

Jagadīśa: Arjuna.

Prabhupāda: You know the principles?

Andy: Yes. No gambling, no illicit sex, no meat-eating, no intoxication.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Your name is Arjuna dāsa.

Devotees: Jaya.

Jagadīśa: Julie? Jagariṇī.

Prabhupāda: You know the rules and regulation? Yes.

Julie: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: So your name is Jagariṇī. Jagariṇī—who is always awake, never sleeps. (laughter) Just see. This life is for jagaraṇa. Uttiṣṭhata jāgrata. Everyone is sleeping, dull, like animal. The animals are sleeping. Although they are running very fast, but according to śāstra, they are sleeping because they do not know what is life. So anyone who does not know what is the value of life, he is sleeping.

And one who knows what is the value of life, he is jāgrata. The Vedic injunction is this, uttiṣṭhata jāgrata prāpya varān nibodhata (Kaṭha Upaniṣad 1.3.14): "Now, this time, in human form of life, you become awakened, and the benediction which you have got, utilize it." They do not know. They are just like animals, sleeping. Ignorance. Ignorance is sleeping. Does not know what is the value of life.
