Lectures

Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Any system of religion if it does not lead you to the platform of devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, that is defective. Therefore Bhāgavata says, sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo yato bhaktir adhokṣaje. (SB 1.2.6) That is first class system of religion. What is that? Which teaches one how to become unalloyed, unflinching devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is first class, all others they are defective.

Anyone who has neglected your personality, aravindākṣa, oh the lotus eyed Kṛṣṇa, aravinda, ye 'nye he aravindākṣa tvayy asta-bhāvāt. They cannot understand what you are, aviśuddha-buddhayaḥ. Their intelligence is still contaminated, not purified aviśuddha. Then what is the result? The result is, āruhya kṛcchreṇa paraṁ padaṁ tataḥ, after severe austerities, penances they may come to the impersonal understanding of your brahma-jyoti. But patanti adhaḥ, again comes to the material world. Therefore the impersonalist without understanding of Kṛṣṇa even very much advanced they do not get any occupation they come down again to the material platform to open hospital, school, college, why? Because the impersonalist says that this material world is false. If the material world is false why you come down again to the false platform to open schools and hospitals? That means, āruhya kṛcchreṇa paraṁ padaṁ tataḥ patanty adho 'nādṛta-yuṣmad-aṅghrayaḥ.

Just like if you go very high with your aeroplane, just like they are trying to go to the moon planet because they are not getting any shelter they are coming back again. And if you are going to the moon planet why you do not stay there? But they cannot stay. Similarly these so-called Brahma realisation or Brahma . . . actual Brahma realisation that will not help, you must stay some year, that is lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa. Samāśritā ye pada-pallava-plavaṁ, (SB 10.14.58) we have to take shelter that is Kṛṣṇa's aim paramaṁ guhyaṁ, you take shelter of my lotus feet. Sarva dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁśaraṇaṁ vraja (BG 18.66) that is Kṛṣṇa's advice. Not sarva-dharmān means there are so many system of religion. But any system of religion if it does not lead you to the platform of devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, that is defective. Therefore Bhāgavata says, sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo yato bhaktir adhokṣaje. (SB 1.2.6) That is first class system of religion. What is that? Which teaches one how to become unalloyed, unflinching devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is first class, all others they are defective. Sometimes they are described as cheating. Just in the beginning of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam it is said, dharmaḥ projjhita-kaitavo 'tra (SB 1.1.2), kaitavaḥ means cheating. So anything and going in the name of religion but it is cheating that is rejected here, dharmaḥ projjhita, projjhita means prakṛṣṭa-rūpeṇa ujjhita. Just like a sweep with a broomstick you cleans all the dust, throwaway. Similarly in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam in the beginning it is said that cheating type of religious system is some completely swept away, dharmaḥ projjhita-kaitavo 'tra paramo nirmatsarāṇāṁ. Then for whom it is meant? For paramo nirmatsarāṇāṁ.

Those who have achieved the stage of nirmatsarātaḥ, without any jealousy because the material disease is jealousy. I am jealous of you, you are jealous of me. This is the business here. Here however I may be very great personality but in the material affair there are many instances they become very, very jealous. That is material disease, material disease means we are all jealous therefore this bhāgavata-dharma, Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is meant for paramo nirmatsarāṇāṁ, who is not jealous. For him it is meant for, paramo nirmatsarāṇāṁ, vāstavam vedyaṁ atra. These are described there and actually our jealousy begins from Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is asking, sarva dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁśaraṇaṁ vraja but I am jealous, why shall I surrendered to Kṛṣṇa? Why? He is also as good as I am, maybe a little learned, avajānanti māṁ mūḍhā mānuṣīṁ . . . because he is asking, demanding your surrender and I am thinking he is an ordinary man. So I am losing the chance, avajānanti māṁ mūḍhā. So our jealousy business has begun from Kṛṣṇa. Oh why shall I accept Kṛṣṇa, as the supreme person although in the śastra's Kṛṣṇa says personally, mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat kiñcid asti dhanañjaya (BG 7.7) there is no more superior truth than me. But we don't believe it although we read Bhagavad-gītā but we don't accept Kṛṣṇa's person. This is our disease because jealous. Jealousy, why shall I except Kṛṣṇa as the supreme. This is jealous, therefore so long we are jealous we cannot understand Kṛṣṇa, paramo nirmatsarāṇāṁ, satāṁ, and who is not jealous? Satāṁ, satāṁ those who are devotees.
