You can realize the Supreme Personality of Godhead by chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra. That is the significance of spiritual and material. Otherwise, how people are satisfied simply by chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra? Let him chant some other name, material. No. You cannot chant more than three times. Then you will feel tired. But you can go on chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra for hundreds and millions of years; it will . . . still you will not feel tired. That is the difference. Therefore His name and He is not different. Abhinnatva.
- nāma cintāmaṇiḥ kṛṣṇaś
- caitanya-rasa-vigrahaḥ
- pūrṇaḥ śuddho nitya-mukto
- 'bhinnatvān nāma-nāminoḥ
- (CC Madhya 17.133)
This is the śāstric injunction. Nāma, the holy name of Śrī Caitanya . . . Kṛṣṇa, is abhinna, nondifferent from Kṛṣṇa. Nāma cintāma . . . pūrṇaḥ śuddhaḥ: full, complete. Not that little less, no. Full. Pūrṇaḥ śuddhaḥ. And uncontaminated. Just like Kṛṣṇa is uncontaminated, similarly, His name is also uncontaminated. Pūrṇaḥ śuddho nitya, eternal. As Kṛṣṇa is eternal, name is also eternal. Pūrṇaḥ śuddho nitya-mukto 'bhinnatvāt. Because they are not different one . . . with one another.
So the most important word is deśa-kālārtha-yuktāni. Deśa, time and space. Bhagavad-gītā is . . . because nondifferent from Kṛṣṇa. As Kṛṣṇa is everywhere, similarly, Bhagavad-gītā can be appreciated in every country, every season, every circumstances. That is deśa-kālārtha-yuktāni. Then hṛt . . . hṛt-tāpa upaśamāni ca. Hṛt-tāpa. There is a hṛt-tāpa. Hṛt means heart, and tāpa means . . . tāpa means, real meaning is temperature, or temperature-rooted. Just like agni-tāpa. Agni. Agni means fire, and tāpa, it has got temperature. So to a certain degree you can tolerate. But when the degree . . . just like in India we have got temperature in summer season 120 degree. Here, just like in your country, the temperature is less. In other country . . . the temperature in, I mean, the Middle East, the temperature is 135 degree, Arabian countries.
So there are three tāpas, three kinds of miserable condition, this material world. That also can be taken tāpa. Tāpa means suffering. Excessive heat and cold, that is called tāpa. So hṛt-tāpopaśamāni ca. The teachings of Bhagavad-gītā . . . We are suffering always within the heart. As Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura says, that viṣaya viṣānale, divā-niśi hiyā jvale (from Gītāvalī). Viṣaya. Viṣaya means this material enjoyment. it is just like poison. The more we are entangled in material enjoyment . . . there is no enjoyment, it is suffering. But we are taking suffering as enjoyment. Just like in this winter season we cover ourself very nicely with gloves, with overcoat. It is simply counteracting the suffering. But a man who has got a nice overcoat and gloves, he is thinking he is enjoying. This is māyā. He forgets that he is simply trying to counteract the suffering. Actually, he is suffering. But having a nice coat or nice place, he is thinking that he is enjoying. That is foolishness. That is called māyā. There is no enjoyment in this material world. Simply we are trying to counteract the suffering. This counteraction of suffering we are accepting as enjoyment.
