The following is a lecture given by His Holiness Jayapatākā Swami Mahārāja on September 7, 1982 – in Toronto, Canada. The lecture begins with a reading from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.32.10.
Brah Brahma, Prādhām Bayamaya the yogis will become detached from the material world. By practice, their breathing exercises and control of the mind reach the planet of Brahma, which is far away. After giving up their bodies, they enter into the body of Lord Brahma, and therefore with Brahma is the pray that and goes to the supreme personality of Godhead, who is the supreme Brahman. Such yogis can also enter into the kingdom of God. Translation of repetition the yogis will become detached by perfecting their yogic practice, yogis can reach the highest animal, Brahma Loka or Satya Loka, and after giving up their material bodies, they can enter into the body of Lord Brahma. Because they are not directly devotees of the Lord, they cannot get liberation directly. They have to wait until Brahma is liberated. Only then, along with Brahma, are they also liberated.
It is clear that as long as the living entity is a worshipper of a particular dead God, his consciousness is absorbed in thoughts of that dementia, and therefore he cannot get direct liberation or entrance into the kingdom of God, nor can he merge into the impersonal divulgence of the supreme personality of Godhead. Satyogis or demigod worshippers are subjected to the chance of taking birth again when there is again creation. Thus, under purport of text ten, chapter 32, in the matter of intention and intuitive activities, because in the panda Brahman actually they will be respecting and worshipping Lord Brahman. In most of the cases, when they die, they will remain with Lord Brahma in his body in the roman state, until such time as Brahma goes back to Godhead at the end of his life, then the yoga should also entertain.
So therefore we see that in the bottom of Gītā, Kṛṣṇa recommends that one simply think of him. Then one can directly come to him. Maam ivaisaltite, you will come to me. This is a guarantee that Kṛṣṇa is giving. No one else can give that guarantee. Brahma or Shiva or Hindi. I’d rather if someone thinks of them, they will not be able to go directly back to Ghana. It describes how Jīva progressing back to home, back to Gadha, may sometimes be attracted or goa taken through different stages in the universe, going up from Tenara Lokata to Kaloka to. And then finally one gets to the Satya loka. Even if he goes beyond that and rose a river, there you find the shiva. Shiva is gone at that place as one leaves kailas and goes towards the Vaitunka lugas. The danger is there.
Sometimes if one hesitates even for a second he starts to merge into the impersonal. The bird that devoted was half nurse, went up again, got as far as I could stand and save there for a while, wasn’t satisfied with the hope. So by snap and God recommended reading. We’re going to do that in the future. That’s a dvd community. So you see, one has to have the 96. I am Kṛṣṇa akaha. Then one can directly go back to Kṛṣṇa along the way. As you can imagine, if a person is not clean, you go by Sītā Loka. There people are manifesting their yogic duplicate bodies. They’re doing so if a person is a little attractive. Let’s take a. What’s going on here? What’s this? Before you know, I have been here. Sit down. You didn’t make it back to my.
That’s why one has to train the mind even here to go up to indelot. Their indelot is filled with so many beautiful sceneries, beautiful demigods, demigoddesses, upstars. There people’s bodies are naturally scented, aromatic women are very beautiful, men are very nice. Everything is a very wonderful situation. No misery. Even people that go just one day die practically, just almost token misery is there. So someone slammed by. And here they just think like, there you are, you don’t go further. So one has to actually become so attached to Kajden that no matter where they go, they’re simply thinking of Kṛṣṇa. You taste. That’s why this process of Chetanya Mahathir is so wonderful, that while someone actually tastes the ecstasy, the vector of serving Lord Kṛṣṇa’s lotus seed of the Sankirtan, then even you go to the heavenly planet, you won’t be attracted.
That’s why it’s very important to perform devotional service so enthusiastically that we can develop spontaneous loving devotion while in this body. Otherwise it will be very hard to control the mind, say, if we’re progressing even back to God. Take the logo. Going by all these different planetary systems, the mind may be agītāted at any place to just check it out and checking it out in heavenly manner. Dreams. As you stay here, you have to stay here up to the whole life and go on. And even from there’s no guarantee you could also fall back down. These are very perfected yogis. Yogis, who it describes here, they have become detached from the material world. Doesn’t talk about attached persons in the heavenly kingdom. These are already detached. They’re already detached in the material world.
Still, just by a very subtle attachment to Lord Brahman they’re not able to go back to Ghana. Therefore what Prabhupāda is giving us is that direct mental Kṛṣṇa, very important. Last night you could see the different people, they’re not fully fixed up. One or two of those kids and all this. It’s very hard for them to go back to Kṛṣṇa, of course, as a matter of fact, at all. But even if a person has that type of faith in Lord Shiva, they will be directed towards Lord Shiva and they won’t be able to go beyond that. So therefore, Prabhupāda is so kind that he gave us Bhagavad Gītā. As it is, Śrī Lanka become as it is because the Vedas are actually directing us, especially in these literatures, which are the commendations, to go directly back to Kṛṣṇa.
And if one follows the parable chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa Mahama, serving in devotional service, one can immediately, directly go back to Ghana. That prophet confirms here that because they are not directly devoted to the Lord, they cannot get their liberation. That means those who are directly devotees of the Lord, they can deliver directly. It’s not that everyone has to wait till the end of the universe. The devotees can go directly back to Kṛṣṇa because they’re getting their spiritual form. They’re getting their, they have already developed that spiritual form. It’s like a spi within us, Siddha Devo. And that develops as devotional service to them. The residents of the Holy God. Those who have taken birth in this world as devotees in the holy God, those who are the permanent residents of the holy God, the demigods already see them with their spiritual form.
For instance, the Nawazeeta, they demigod see the devotees there to have the same type of spiritual form as an eternal associate of Lord Chaitan. And in Goromandogumi, the next surrounding area, the persons now are visible to the demigods having blue form and forearms. Also in Śrī Ketch, of those who are Deputy Rotis and Jagannath Woody, they are seen for described in the Quran because their relationship is already cohesimally fixed with the Lord, either Jagannātha Kṛṣṇa or Māyā Pranava Gītā, that they already become completely deformed. Their spiritual body where they’re going to go. In fact, their bodies already formed, they’re already acting in that relationship. But because they’re in an material world externally, therefore from material vision, they still have a material form.
So like that, a person develops this spiritual body simply by serving kids automatically devoted, that spiritual body perceives his spiritual bible thus confirmed in the human body with the first candle. As soon as Nira Muni left his body immediately, just like lightning, he achieved his spiritual life. You can see that there’s an adrenal body and he’s got his spiritual body, or immediately that body itself is transformed. In some cases because of the non difference. In the case of Guru Maharaj, I believe he went back to himself. So of course, in the beginning stages of the now with the dhamma is also served in the mekri of devotion described that one should always live in Matura Vrindavana. The Vrindavana math is not different than Vrindavan.
It’s the Gupta Vrindavan, but also describes one to live in a holy Dha, by separation, by mentally meditating on the God. And at past times of the Lord. Sapro Bhagavad has been so nice that he created Māyā poor vigna temples for all the devotees. So they can feel directly connected with the holy God while they are serving. Just as he has given a name to New Māyāpur, New Nagu and so on, so that the devotees, while serving in their temple, actually the Lord is Present there, that is also the mandate. And they can feel that I am not a resident of this material world, a native American or a Canadian or a british or indian or a Chinese, whatever. That I actually resident in this, that my relationship is directly with Kṛṣṇa says one is already living in the holy.
Now he’s already developing, and a Kṛṣṇa is already developing this vidai. Actually, even before, long before we had this center in Māyā, actually Prabhupāda already made the Māyāpur with albums. At that time, he’d already have a vision. Everybody had temples in my office. And the volunteer trustee appointed by Śrī was Śrīla Bhagavat. I remember that he was even we didn’t know what Māyā was at that time. There were no books, but he was already the trustee of the Māyā for his everything else that the prabhupāda for that. So that way he was right from the very beginning, even before. Although of course, like I was assigned that to go there for a physically. But even before that, Śrīla Bhagavad father was all the serving the holy God.
So he has got practically the longest connection of anyone, which is of course the greatest good fortune. So like that, by the spiritual adventures, mercy, we get the opportunity to serve the holy name, to serve the holy God, to serve the devotees. All these fashionable realities, quality, pastime, four devotees. Holy God, holy place. God means the holy place. The place where the Lord personally comes in the world and performs his chance. All of these are actually transcendental realities. And they’re more important to serve than to directly serve the Lord. Then he replied that have all the worship. The topmost worship is the worship of the supreme personality of God. But my dear demigod Mother Dhoyjar, this is one exception. More glorified than even worshipping Lord Vishnu is to worship God objects person connected with words.
To Diyan martial once again special favor of Lord Kṛṣṇa. To worship the most loved ones. Toward Kṛṣṇa there is a massive devotee. These are devoted lovers. The holy Dharma. Other things connected to Kṛṣṇa Kumasi Devī. He worships these. And to get Kṛṣṇa special things. He’s very mercifully inclined towards the devotee of his devotion. So much so that what they can he prayed. I am not Abraham, I am not a sanyasi, I am not a priest, I am not a nihasa, whatever. I am the servant of the servant of the Lord. This thing that God. Servant of the servant. On his enigma is very relative. And that is the way to get a special mercy. That way. Shri described as an offer of the child. He offered to our spiritual master. He offered to his spiritual master who offered to his spiritual master. Who offered to his spiritual master.
Goes up privileges. Who offers enough to Raha Kṛṣṇa. Raha Kṛṣṇa. Give that Mahap. Give that Mahaprabh. Goes down to all the spirits of ashes. Again like that. By the time we get it, we’re getting Maham how many times Mahā Masha that way, especially in college. So that’s why we offering a pratah to the Guru who follows this history. And also we directly may have. We are not able to directly approach. But we know that we can approach our will. We can offer our spiritual answer of the child. And he will accept it. And we know that his spiritual master will accept his Kṛṣṇa in this way, all the way up. We know that it will get to Kṛṣṇa. That’s why it’s essential that this Kṛṣṇa master has only one who is authorized to do the discipline.
Succession cannot be someone who’s now in a monopoly session. You can make a nicer box, you can even diamond sell it if you want and put it up on the street one. But if it’s not recognized by the post office, then where will the lettuce? Is this what you’re letting it go in some strong little package? Even it may be a very insignificant box. Post office boxes are not always as well contained as people’s personal mailboxes. They also get more use, whatever it may be. But if it’s authorized by most authors, then you know that I put my nail back. That’s essential. When I can see that the bad way, that difference than what is discussed here.
Here is discussion that the person is attached to Lord Brahma or to Lord Shiva or something that not as that exclusive relationship under this, but rather individual. In fact, there’s a system for offering obedience. Of course, it’s not always possible in our country, but it describes in the data to offer to Kṛṣṇa with your left. And then the guru is in front. First we offer the gurus in front, which has to be left. And all the other Vaishnavs are next to it. So that led the demogazer also to our right. But they’re amongst the Vaishnav. So we offer them a resistance with our right side. That way our left side is still facing sufficient.
So when you go to the temple of goddess, then if you want to offer a witness directly in front, we can’t go ahead also because then we also feel that problem is all you need to do is use the baby. Either way doesn’t make that much difference depending on what relation. Particularly the offering of profile of our left side Māyā usage. And we know that left hand profiles with Kṛṣṇa. The system is there just so that people wonder can build. They can’t tell their stories for the tree. They don’t know the difference between hindu and other than them. The gurus have exploited the whole situation. Some of the so called in such a way that people are. But that’s not the way it means. They don’t have a bona fide guru to tell them what is the actual process.
They go in some of these teacher groups, but they have everybody under the age of 33 million. They have, you know, at least a couple dozen. But if you know, there’s a lot of. So even the names, I don’t think anyone remembers all of them. But these planets are controlling unity. There are so many planets, big and small. So that way we are very fortunate been contaminated by all these type of computers here in the west. Cooper gives the example that in New York there was a school for learning how to play the drum and that they offered us a drumming lesson. It would cost $10 a lesson. You never took any lessons before. And if you took any lessons, you had to pay $20, which is why I took lessons and I could get the less. Because whatever you learn is Allah.
If you don’t have a bonus idea. Then you are at work because like this, you get attached to Brahma, you get attached to Śiva, you get attached to all these. It’s very hard because of our. And then it’s been more difficult to system mind our Kṛṣṇa. That’s why they have been to develop a type of faith that’s given by christians. So it’s not easy to just go right out. So even they developed some faith for christian field. That said, I do have some benign. There was one great place and right from Śrīka they came down in the temple as he’s doing his worship. They came down and said, you no longer get to the.
(Side B of the Cassette)
There would be danger for us. But that has happened in heaven. My pharisees also. So when a person tightens up, it’s not even that the answer leaves his body. The concrete is taking back in the sigma. That body becomes purified because of all the depression. What should I see the body of the spiritual master as material. If it is someone who’s explaining how they answered the. And he was saying that the disciples didn’t see. The spiritual man says in heaven and to the spiritual master’s body, because it fully engaged, becomes transcendentalized. This says what the Hebrew Bible describes, the fire sacrifice, the offering of oblation, the offer of oblation, the act of sacrifice. Everything becomes one and the absolute. It all becomes transcendental. The pure devotion is offered in THe SErvice of Christ. Therefore, the body itself is subject to.
The prophet said that all his devotees are few devotees. Of course there are some devotees who are just training, but there are many through devotees to this movement who have fully dedicated themselves to the surface of our system. And they’re carrying out that emotional service. And their bodies are actually already being developed. They’re not ordinary minds, they’re actually spiritual. But like spiritual masters, we accept so many from the disciples when one takes initiation from a spiritual master and those reactions are accepted by taking us through the spiritual master. So sometimes the spiritual master has to suffer on behalf of the disciples. The prophet said that even he has experience only that day because of the irresponsible acts of disciples. I can say that once in a deal I was personally taken to hell after being a grief.
And I can also know that this disciples did what basically did some of them think that some disciples did things are there that spirit from elsewhere. Sometimes it takes a disciple that disciples irresponsible. Then one has to suffer that is suffering that the type. That’s the difficulty. That’s why common the discipline is also not recommended. Another it is done because of the teaching word of worship. But there are many difficulties. All these things that we understand every version of the human mother help us to understand more about what is spiritual like. Who are we? Not just material bodies, how you ask? Maybe 110 thousand people. But as we develop in our devotional service, that journey actually develops and gradually we become fixed in our service to Kṛṣṇa. And from that we actually develop the spiritual body. This body we can’t focus.
That’s why we use this body to serve the Buddhist. But this body is not good in the material world in itself. It has to be spiritualized. The answer is suitable body which developed by using his body to spirit through the spiritual man. So that way prophet could make the best use of a bad heart and to get him to hear by it. But because we get the association with devotees, we get the mercy of spiritual master and we can church with. Therefore, this body itself becomes a vehicle to take us to the spiritual. But simply by accepting the children of the local seed of Moraya in this body to come is existing both under the shelter of Moriah. And we can drive over this ocean of Virginia, just like we step over the made by the group of persons that has reduced.
This is a small captive, so we can easily cross over. And those who don’t take shelter, the Lord will see which are like that vortex and his human life. And instead let him make this material world to them. This is an example. A man was walking in New York, and here that sidewalk is not left. So right in the sidewalk. And he tells what happened to us. Technically, they did nothing. Every self is protected. Therefore, the only instinct he’s got, his whole enjoyment I took off and they come out and I even your own. That means you hire. This is a situation in this world. But anyway, he had turned into the brokerage. Then someone wants to come to us and they have to be up. No one has ever said there isn’t himalayan, but they should know filled with God.
There are no very pure life yoga. Therefore, they want to enjoy their senses and burn them out at the same time. One can only have moments, but the spiritual body is at home. This way we can take advantage of and help others to assist. By helping others. This is a great opportunity to serve the devotees of the Lord and to develop our passion. Any questions? Yes, flat. There’s a flat upper back. And then the other has also. So that racial promotion, that’s one of those. And the secondary of the central portion is 16 hp. So in a 16 gross area that God the period. And then there’s 32 of the nicest. With Christmas, such a generator they get developed, but because of the mercy of that within that you want to go directly onto the top floor. Especially exact practice.
This is a basic practice of and it when I go to the border, then you can pass to any of the. So if they stand there once they passed, it has a lot of without you. By this process of from the material world. Generally yogī by their practice, because they’re not practicing boxes, they become detached to the material world and they become attached to the christian power. Let me know of meditation. If they’re taught to meditate on it. Liberation and the world’s reduction. Of course, this liberation also, unless you go back to the spiritual planet.
