Bhagvat: When the quality of goodness is prominent, the sages and demigods flourish with the help of that quality, with which they are infused and surcharged by the Supreme Lord. Similarly, when the mode of passion is prominent the demons flourish, and when ignorance is prominent the Yakshas and Räkshasas flourish. The manifestations of the modes of goodness can be experienced when all the gates of the body are illumined by knowledge. When there is an increase in the mode of passion, the symptoms of great attachment, uncontrollable desire, hankering, and intense endeavor develop. When there is an increase in the mode of ignorance, madness, illusion, inertia and darkness are manifested.

TRANSLATION

My dear King Parikshit, the material qualities—sattva-guna, rajo-guna and tamo-guna—all belong to the material world and do not even touch the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

These three gunas cannot act by increasing or decreasing simultaneously.

PURPORT

The original position of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is one of equality.

There is no question of His being influenced by sattva-guna, rajo-guna or tamo-guna, for these material qualities cannot touch the Supreme Lord.

The Lord is therefore called the supreme isvara.

Isvaraù paramaù krshnaù: He is the supreme controller.

He controls the material qualities (daivi hy eshä guna-mayi mama mäyä).

Mayädhyakshena prakrtiù süyate: material nature (prakrti) works under His order.

How, then, can He be under the qualities of prakrti? Krshna is never influenced by the material qualities.

Therefore there is no question of partiality in the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

TRANSLATION

When the quality of goodness is prominent, the sages and demigods flourish with the help of that quality, with which they are infused and surcharged by the Supreme Lord. Similarly, when the mode of passion is prominent the demons flourish, and when ignorance is prominent the Yakshas and Räkshasas flourish. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is present in everyone's heart, fostering the reactions of sattva-guna, rajo-guna and tamo-guna.

PURPORT

The Supreme Personality of Godhead is not partial to anyone. The conditioned soul is under the influence of the various modes of material nature, and behind material nature is the Supreme Personality of Godhead; but one's victory and loss under the influence of sattva-guna, rajo-guna and tamo-guna are reactions of these modes, not of the Supreme Lord's partiality. Srila Jiva Gosvämi, in the Bhägavata-sandarbha, has clearly said:

According to this statement of the Bhägavata-sandarbha, the Supreme Lord, being always transcendental to the material qualities, is never affected by the influence of these qualities. 

This same characteristic is also present in the living being, but because he is conditioned by material nature, even the pleasure potency of the Lord is manifested in the conditioned soul as troublesome. In the material world the pleasure enjoyed by the conditioned soul is followed by many painful conditions. For instance, we have seen that in the two great wars, which were conducted by the rajo-guna and tamo-guna, both parties were actually ruined. 

The German people declared war against the English to ruin them, but the result was that both parties were ruined. Although the Allies were apparently victorious, at least on paper, actually neither of them were victorious. Therefore it should be concluded that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is not partial to anyone. Everyone works under the influence of various modes of material nature, and when the various modes are prominent, the demigods or demons appear victorious under the influence of these modes.

Everyone enjoys the fruits of his qualitative activities. This is also confirmed in Bhagavad-gitä (14.11-13):

"The manifestations of the modes of goodness can be experienced when all the gates of the body are illumined by knowledge.

"O chief of the Bhäratas, when there is an increase in the mode of passion, the symptoms of great attachment, uncontrollable desire, hankering, and intense endeavor develop.

"O son of Kuru, when there is an increase in the mode of ignorance, madness, illusion, inertia and darkness are manifested."

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is present in everyone's heart, simply gives the results of the increase in the various qualities, but He is impartial. He supervises victory and loss, but He does not take part in them.

The various modes of material nature do not work all at once. The interactions of these modes are exactly like seasonal changes. Sometimes there is an increment of rajo-guna, sometimes of tamo-guna and sometimes sattva-guna. Generally the demigods are surcharged with sattva-guna, and therefore when the demons and the demigods fight, the demigods are victorious because of the prominence of their sattva-guna qualities. 

However, this is not the partiality of the Supreme Lord.

आ मेरे रसिया आ मेरे प्यारे aa mere rasiya aa mere pyare

आ मेरे रसिया आ मेरे प्यारे  

आजाओ मेरे पी मतवारे 

आजाओ नैनों के तारे 

कितना निर्मल,कितना पावन था वो पल मिलन हमारा 

वो अल्प मिलन, जीवन को दे गया ,कैसा पूर्ण विराम निराला 

अल्प समय में पूर्ण की चाहत करने लगा ये दिल बेचारा 

पूर्ण करो, हे परम पूर्ण ,अल्प सा आग्रह हमारा 

तुममें मिलकर पूर्ण हो जाएं ,तुममें मिलकर तुममे ही हो जाये विलय हमारा 

 

इन आँखों को तलाश है जैसी 

वैसी इक तस्वीर दे दो 

और दिल चाहता है जैसी वैसी इक मुलाकात दे दो 

मैं ज़्यादा कुछ नहीं मांगती आपसे बस इक बार मुझे आप से आप दे दो 

मैंने समझा लिया है खुद को, आपसे दूर रहना और सीख लिया है

दूर रहके भी सिर्फ तुम्हारी हो के रहना 

फिर भी डरती रहती हूँ 

कहीं कोई कमी (out of  sight , out of  mind) इस दिल पर न दस्तक दे जाये 

इसलिए मांगती हूँ आप से आप दे दो 

 

कोई रिश्ता नहीं, कोई नाता नहीं , कोई वस्तु या कोई वादा नहीं  

इन सांसों को अब विराम दे दो, इक बार मुझे, आप से आप दे दो 

 (बड़ी अजीब होती है बंदिशे मोहब्बत की 

न ही तुमने कैद रखा, न ही हम फरार हुए) 

आ मेरे रसिया आ मेरे प्यारे

Gita shloka 5.11: By acting in Krsna consciousness for the satisfaction of the senses of Krsna, any action, whether of the body, mind, intelligence or even of the senses, is purified of material contamination, 1st Sept

Gita shloka 5.11: By acting in Krsna consciousness for the satisfaction of the senses of Krsna, any action, whether of the body, mind, intelligence or even of the senses, is purified of material contamination. There are no material reactions resulting from the activities of a Krsna conscious person. Therefore, purified activities, which are generally called sadachara, can be easily performed by acting in Krsna consciousness. He knows that he is not this body and that this body does not belong to him. 

TRANSLATION

The yogis, abandoning attachment, act with body, mind, intelligence, and even with the senses, only for the purpose of purification.

PURPORT

By acting in Krsna consciousness for the satisfaction of the senses of Krsna, any action, whether of the body, mind, intelligence or even of the senses, is purified of material contamination.

There are no material reactions resulting from the activities of a Krsna conscious person.

Therefore, purified activities, which are generally called sadachara, can be easily performed by acting in Krsna consciousness.

Sri Rupa Gosvami in his Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu describes this as follows:

iha yasya harer dasye karmana manasa gira

nikhilasv apy avasthasu jivanmuktah sa ucyate

A person acting in Krsna consciousness (or, in other words, in the service of Krsna) with his body, mind, intelligence and words is a liberated person even within the material world, although he may be engaged in many so-called material activities.

He has no false ego, nor does he believe that he is this material body, nor that he possesses the body.

 He knows that he is not this body and that this body does not belong to him.

He himself belongs to Krsna, and the body too belongs to Krsna.

When he applies everything produced of the body, mind, intelligence, words, life, wealth, etc. —whatever he may have within his possession—to Krsna's service, he is at once dovetailed with Krsna.

He is one with Krsna and is devoid of the false ego that leads one to believe that he is the body, etc.

This is the perfect stage of Krsna consciousness.

Vinod Agarwal Bhajan lyrics तुमसे मोहब्बत है तो है

तू नहीं मेरा मगर, तुमसे मोहब्बत है तो है

अगर यह रस्मो रिवाजों से बगावत है तो है

सच को मैंने सच कहा जब कह दिया तो कह दिया

यह जमाने की नजर में यह हिमाकत है तो है  (हिमाकत = Foolishness)

क्यों दुनिया की नजर में प्यार करना किसी मूर्खता से कम नहीं है 

और जो बुद्धि का इस्तेमाल करें वो प्यार कर भी नहीं सकता

कब कहा मैंने कि वह मिल जाए मैं उसे

लेकिन दूर ना हो जाए वह इतनी हसरत है तो है

गैर ना हो जाए वह इतनी हसरत है तो है

जल गया परवाना तो शम्मा की इसमें क्या खता

रात भर जलना जलाना उसकी किस्मत है तो है

यार बनके जालिमों सा वह सताता है मुझे

फिर भी उस जालिम पर मरना अपनी फितरत है तो है  (फितरत =nature)

दूर थे और दूर है हरदम जमीन और आसमान

दूरीयों के बाद भी, दोनों में कुरबत है तो है

(वो कौन सा पल है जब ज़मीन और आसमान आमने सामने नहीं होते)

(कुरबत ,i.e., सामीप्य, nearness)

मेरा शौक देख, इंतजार देख मेरे अरमान देख कह क्या रहे हैं यह

काश मेरे नसीब में एक और मुलाकात होती, फिर वही बात हो फिर वही रात हो

आ जाओ ओ रस पूरीत सावन मेरी प्रीति की जीवन मोरी (base)

सब व्यवधान समेट लो मनहर अब नेक रखो ना दूरी (व्यवधान=problems)

हे मेरे चिरंतन धर्म, अंतर स्थित के मर्म, चितहू के नागर चोर

तुम बिन सुना है सब ओर

दिल की हस्ती भी अजीब हस्ती है, यह लूटने वाले को ही तरसती है

इस विरह निशा में मेरे सुधाकर (moon) तुम ज्योति सुधा सरसाओ

प्राणों की पीड़ा को हर लो हे सुरभित योवन (सुरभित=fragrant)

आओ मेरे मोहन हीए के फूल, मत जाओ भूल, आओ मम मधुमत मन के भ्रमर (हीए =heart)

प्रिय तुम बिन सूना है सब ओर

गोविंद चले आओ

प्रीतम को कब लाएगा यह मेरा इंतजारे सनम

राहों में ही बीत रहा यह जीवन हसीन तोहफा सनम

प्यारे आओ तो फिर से हो जाए यह जीवन उमंगों का संगम

क्षण क्षण प्रतीक्षा में बीत रहा कब होगा खतम इंतजारे सनम

मरने से पहले आंखें मेरी चाहें तेरा दीदारे सनम

जाति बार वो कह गए अब हम सिर्फ ख्वाबों में आएंगे

ए सखी जा कर कह दे उन्हें कि वह वादा तो करें, हम जिंदगी भर के लिए सो जाएंगे

तेरी जगह कोई और होता तो कहां उसका मेरे दिल पर कोई जोर होता

अपनी अदा पे तुम्हें बहुत गरूर है, आंखों के तीर सहना भी हमको मंजूर है

लेकिन एक बात तुमसे कहनी जरूर है कि “इश्क में तुमसे मिलना रस्में फितूर है”

गोविंद चले आओ

Gita-shloka-5.10 : One who knows perfectly well that everything belongs to Krsna, that He is the proprietor of everything and that, therefore, everything is engaged in the service of the Lord, naturally has nothing to do with the results of his activities, whether virtuous or sinful, 31st Aug

Gita-shloka-5.10 : One who knows perfectly well that everything belongs to Krsna, that He is the proprietor of everything and that, therefore, everything is engaged in the service of the Lord, naturally has nothing to do with the results of his activities, whether virtuous or sinful.  A person without Krsna consciousness acts according to the concept of the material body and senses, but a person in Krsna consciousness acts according to the knowledge that the body is the property of Krsna and should therefore be engaged in the service of Krsna.

TRANSLATION

One who performs his duty without attachment, surrendering the results unto the Supreme God, is not affected by sinful action, as the lotus leaf is untouched by water.

PURPORT

Here brahmani means in Krsna consciousness.

The material world is a sum total manifestation of the three modes of material nature, technically called the pradhana.

The Vedic hymns, sarvam etad brahma, tasmad etad brahma nama-rupam annam ca jayate, and, in the Bhagavad-gita, mama yonir mahad brahma, indicate that everything in the material world is the manifestation of Brahman; and, although the effects are differently manifested, they are nondifferent from the cause.

In the Isopanisad  it is said that everything is related to the Supreme Brahman or Krsna, and thus everything belongs to Him only.

One who knows perfectly well that everything belongs to Krsna, that He is the proprietor of everything and that, therefore, everything is engaged in the service of the Lord, naturally has nothing to do with the results of his activities, whether virtuous or sinful.

Even one's material body, being a gift of the Lord for carrying out a particular type of action, can be engaged in Krsna consciousness.

It is beyond contamination by sinful reactions, exactly as the lotus leaf, though remaining in the water, is not wet.

The Lord also says in the Gita: mayi sarvani karmani sannyasya: "Resign all works unto Me [Krsna]." The conclusion is that a person without Krsna consciousness acts according to the concept of the material body and senses, but a person in Krsna consciousness acts according to the knowledge that the body is the property of Krsna and should therefore be engaged in the service of Krsna.
