Bhagavan

Why? Because that is the mean to survive, pran dharanam.

And survival is important because then he can do tattva vichar, then he can do meditation on the absolute reality, on Brahman, and if he is a devotee, then on Bhagwan.

Because without that you will not achieve the goal.

So by realizing that, then one will become liberated.

Sacha Madvikshahata.

And that is given up.

by having realization of Krishna, whether as Durman or as Bhagwan.

So either Brahma Satyam, Sarvam Khalo Vidam Brahma, or Vasudeva Sarvam Iti Samhatma Sadur Lama.

So Bhagavan is answering Arjuna's question.

And Arjuna's question was, Prompted by what does a person commit sin? Even though unwilling, although he is forcibly being committed to do that.

So in that sense, he says, the person does not have a desire to commit sin and yet people commit sin.

Why is it that? So there is no desire to commit sin and yet he is committing sin.

So Bhagavan answered, he does out of his desire.

So we saw in the last class how we are talking about two different desires.

One the desire of the intellect and the other the desire of the mind.

What is Maya? That cannot exist without the real object, but it does not exist in the real object.

That is the Maya of Bhagavan.

It gives example, yathabhasa, yathatama.

Abhasa means like reflection.

We are all His.

part of his tatastha shakti.

So the atma is part of Bhagavan and the body is also part of his shakti.

He says That this is the eightfold Shakti, separated Shakti, and that's what constitutes the body of everybody.

In spite of all the heat in Prasanthi Nilayam, either in schools or colleges, so wherever we look, we see a lot of youngsters.

So wishing all of them the very best and offering our humble pranams as always to Bhagawan's lotus feet.

Let's begin this week's show.

Last week on Reducy Answering Booth, I had a listener who asked us three questions and I could answer only one of them.

Right? athāto brahma-jigyāsa, Srimad Bhagavatam quotes this, tasmād gurum prapadyetajigyāsa śreya uttamaṁ śabde pari ca niṣṇātam brahmaṇi upasam āśrayam tasmād means therefore, because I am suffering in this material existence, I will inquire into the absolute truth from someone who is situated in the absolute truth.

Swami Prabhupāda says, one who has realized the Brahman, Paramatman, Bhagavan, they are liberated.

Self-realization.

The trees outside cannot realize the absolute truth.

worshiping.

And then we will worship to our husbands and to Bhagavan or to Narayana, to anyone.

We should worship, first day.

And if you are not accepting, then you are breaking the law of all dharmas.
