Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

It is said . . . as it is said in the Vedic literature, premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti (Bs. 5.38): we have to create our eyes or purify our eyes to see God. And that purification is possible when you apply the ointment of love of God, daily. How to love Kṛṣṇa? Take it as ointment. As we apply some ointment to increase the sight of our eyes . . . doctor gives some prescription. We use it also. So similarly, how to see God? You will see God with these eyes when it is clarified. Premāñjana-cchurita, by the ointment of love of Godhead.

The sooner you give up . . . yajña-dāna. This is called yajña and dāna, and tapas, tapasya. Tapasya means this following, voluntarily accepting, all restrictive principles. Because we are addicted to all this license or nonsense. Not license; it is nonsense. So unless you stop all these nonsense activities, you cannot understand Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Yeṣāṁ tv anta-gatam . . . if you want to be serious . . . that is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā.

So in this way we have to increase our attachment for Kṛṣṇa, and if we increase our attachment for Kṛṣṇa, mayy āsakta manāḥ pārtha yogam . . . this yoga system . . . this yoga system, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, is the topmost yoga system. Why it is topmost? Because it teaches how to increase your attachment for Kṛṣṇa; therefore it is topmost.

That is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā: yoginām api sarveṣāṁ (BG 6.47). There are different kinds of yogīs. "Of all the yogīs . . ." Yoginām api sarveṣāṁ. Sarveṣām means "of all." Mad-gata āntarātmanā: "one who is always thinking of Me." You can think of one if you are attached to him; otherwise, artificially you cannot do. That's not possible. If you love somebody, then you will always see his picture, his form, always. These are simple yoga.

And it is said . . . as it is said in the Vedic literature, premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti (Bs. 5.38): we have to create our eyes or purify our eyes to see God. And that purification is possible when you apply the ointment of love of God, daily. How to love Kṛṣṇa? Take it as ointment. As we apply some ointment to increase the sight of our eyes . . . doctor gives some prescription. We use it also. So similarly, how to see God? You will see God with these eyes when it is clarified. Premāñjana-cchurita, by the ointment of love of Godhead.

So these are the function, how to love. One has to rise early in the morning. He doesn't like, but, "No. I will have to satisfy Kṛṣṇa." This is the beginning. "Oh, I have to chant sixteen rounds." He is lazy. He doesn't want to do it. But if he loves Kṛṣṇa, he must do it. He must do it.
