Lectures

Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

So our position is that, that we are spiritual sparks, lightning spark. But now we are covered by this illusory energy, māyā, and we are being dictated by the māyā and acting and becoming entangled more and more in material energy. And you have to get out from this entanglement by this yoga, or perfect yoga of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is yoga system.

The same mind—manasi means mind—when enlightened by bhakti-yoga, bhakti-light, bhakti-yogena manasi samyak praṇihite amale, when the mind becomes completely freed from all contamination. That can be done by bhakti-yoga. Bhakti-yogena manasi samyak praṇihite 'male apaśyat puruṣaṁ pūrṇam: he saw the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Māyāṁ ca tad-apāśrayam: and he saw this māyā just on the background. Apāśrayam. Light and darkness, along with. Just like here is light. There is darkness also here, little darkness. So darkness remains under the shelter of light. But light does not remain under the shelter of darkness.

So Vyāsadeva saw Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Lord, and this māyā, darkness, apāśrayam, just under His shelter. And who is this māyā? That is explained. Yayā sammohito jīva: the same māyā, the same illusory energy which has covered these conditioned souls. And who are those conditioned? Yayā sammohito jīva ātmānaṁ tri-guṇātmakam (SB 1.7.5).

Although this spirit soul is as light as Kṛṣṇa, or God, although small, but he's identifying himself with this material world. Yayā sammohitaḥ. This is called illusion, when we identify ourself with this matter. Yayā sammohito jīva ātmānaṁ tri-guṇātmakam, paro 'pi manute 'nartham.

Although he is transcendental, still he's engaged in nonsensical activities. Paro 'pi manute 'narthaṁ tat-kṛtaṁ cābhipadyate. And he acts dictated by this māyā. These are very nicely explained in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, in the First Canto you'll find, Seventh Chapter.

So our position is that, that we are spiritual sparks, lightning spark. But now we are covered by this illusory energy, māyā, and we are being dictated by the māyā and acting and becoming entangled more and more in material energy. And you have to get out from this entanglement by this yoga, or perfect yoga of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is yoga system.
