कहीं खोटा (FAKE) ना रह जाऊं, तपा कर के देखते रहना Vinod Agarwal Bhajan lyrics, kahin khota na rah jaoon

कहीं खोटा (FAKE) ना रह जाऊं, तपा कर के देखते रहना   

LEST I TURN AWAY FROM YOU, PLEASE KEEP TESTING ME BY AGONISING ME   

मुसीबत की कसौटी पर लगा कर देखते रहना   

KEEP TESTING ME ON BENCHMARK OF ADVERSITY  

कहीं विश्वास में मेरे शिथिलता आ नहीं जाये

LEST MY BELIEF WEAKENS ...  

ग़मो के से मुझे तुम आजमा कर देखते रहना

KEEP CHECKING ME THROUGH SORROWS  

ये मुमकिन है कि माया में तुम्हे मैं भूल ही जायूँ

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT YOUR MAYA MAKES ME FORGET YOU  

तो ग़फ़लत से जगा कुर के, मुझे तुम देखते रहना

PLEASE KEEP AWAKENING ME FROM CARELESSNESS  

मेरे इन आँसूओं की लड़ी में प्रतिबिम्ब है तेरा

MY EYES ARE FILLED WITH YOUR LOVING DEVOTION  

जो चाहो देखना इनमे, रुला कर देखते रहना  

IF YOU WANT TO TEST THE SAME, PLEASE DO VERIFY THROUGH MY TEARS

तेरे विश्वास पर मैं, जहर को अमृत समझता हूँ

PURELY RELYING ON YOU, I CONSIDER EVEN POISON TO BE NECTAR  

तो मुझको तुम प्रभु मेरे, पिला कर देखते रहना

YOU CAN CONFIRM THE SAME BY MAKING ME DRINK IT  

जगत की वासनाओं में न लिप्त हो जाये मन मेरा

LEST MY MIND BE ENMESHED IN WORLDLY DESIRES  

तो इस दास को ठोकर लगा के देखते रहना  

PLEASE KEEP HITTING THIS SERVANT OF YOURS

हे दीन बंधू करुणा सिंधु, शरण में आयें हैं हम तुम्हारी Vinod Agarwal Bhajan lyrics

हे दीन बंधू करुणा सिंधु,  शरण में आयें हैं हम तुम्हारी

 

हे दीन बंधू करुणा सिंधु 

शरण में आयें हैं हम तुम्हारी 

करत रहे अपराध जगत में पहले हमने नाहीं विचारी 

 

जग दोषी कहे कितना ही हमें 

 हम को उस की परवाह नहीं 

प्रभु प्रेम पयोधि (sea) अगम्य (inaccessible) बड़ा

 उस की सब बातें हैं थाह (immeasurable depth) नहीं 

 

हँसते हँसते ये जीवन दे

 मुख से निकले पर आह नहीं

 बस चाह कृष्ण दर्शन की 

अब और नहीं कुछ चाह नहीं 

हे दीन बंधू करुणा सिंधु 

शरण में आयें हैं हम तुम्हारी

 

मेरी पांचो इन्द्रियों और पांचो कर्मेन्द्रियों को आदत है रस लेने की

 रस ले रहीं हैं  विषयों का विकारों का

 बस इनको divert करदो तुहारी ही रूप माधुरी की तरफ 

 तो  इन्द्रियों और पांचो कर्मेन्द्रियों की  आदत भी बनी रहेगी और बात भी बन जाएगी 

 

श्रवणो से सुनूं मुरली रब को

 तुम रूप द्रिगो से निहारा करूँ 

पट भूषण (ornaments) गंध (smell) लूँ नासिका (nose) से 

 मुख से हरे कृष्ण उचारा करूँ 

तन से करूँ सेवा तुम्हारी सदा

 मन से सुमिलाप (meeting You)विचारा करूँ 

इस भांति तुम्हे अपना करके 

 तन से मन से तुम्हें प्यार करूँ 

 

हे दीन बंधू करुणा सिंधु 

शरण में आयें हैं हम तुम्हारी 

 

देखो ये सब बातें कहीं हैं मैंने इस जनम के लिए 

 मगर आगे कोई और योनि में तू अगर डाले तो। ... 

 

उर (heart) ऊपर नित्य रहूँ लटका

अपनी वनमाल (Your garland) का फूल बनादे 

लहरें टकराती रहें जिससे

कामिनी ये कालिंदी (river Yamuna) का कूल (shore) बनादे

कर कमल (Your Lotus Hands) जिसे छूते हों जिसको

उस वृक्ष कदम्ब का  फूल बनादे 

पद (feet) पंकज (Lotus) तेरे छुएंगे कभी 

ब्रिज राज हमें ब्रिज धूल (dust) बनादे

Gita shloka 5.23. Unless one is able to relish happiness from within, how can one retire from the external engagements meant for deriving superficial happiness? A liberated person enjoys happiness by factual experience., 14th Sept

Gita shloka 5.23. Unless one is able to relish happiness from within, how can one retire from the external engagements meant for deriving superficial happiness? A liberated person enjoys happiness by factual experience.He can, therefore, sit silently at any place and enjoy the activities of life from within.Such a liberated person no longer desires external material happiness.

TRANSLATION

One whose happiness is within, who is active within, who rejoices within and is illumined within, is actually the perfect mystic. He is liberated in the Supreme, and ultimately he attains the Supreme.

PURPORT

Unless one is able to relish happiness from within, how can one retire from the external engagements meant for deriving superficial happiness? A liberated person enjoys happiness by factual experience.

He can, therefore, sit silently at any place and enjoy the activities of life from within.

Such a liberated person no longer desires external material happiness.

This state is called brahma-bhuta, attaining which one is assured of going back to Godhead, back to home.

Gita shloka 5.23. Before giving up this present body, if one is able to tolerate the urges of the material senses and check the force of desire and anger, he is a yogi and is happy in this world, 13th Sept

Gita shloka 5.23. Before giving up this present body, if one is able to tolerate the urges of the material senses and check the force of desire and anger, he is a yogi and is happy in this world. Material desires, when unsatiated, generate anger, and thus the mind, eyes and chest become agitated. One who is able to control the forces of all these different senses, and the mind, is called gosvami, or svami.

TRANSLATION

Before giving up this present body, if one is able to tolerate the urges of the material senses and check the force of desire and anger, he is a yogi and is happy in this world.

PURPORT

lf one wants to make steady progress on the path of self-realization, he must try to control the forces of the material senses.

There are the forces of talk, forces of anger, forces of mind, forces of the stomach, forces of the genitals, and forces of the tongue.

One who is able to control the forces of all these different senses, and the mind, is called gosvami, or svami.

Such gosvamis live strictly controlled lives and forego altogether the forces of the senses.

Material desires, when unsatiated, generate anger, and thus the mind, eyes and chest become agitated.

Therefore, one must practice to control them before one gives up this material body.

One who can do this is understood to be self-realized and is thus happy in the state of self-realization.

It is the duty of the transcendentalist to try strenuously to control desire and anger.

Gita shloka 5.22. there is no reason to labor very hard for sense pleasure while in this human form of life; such pleasures are available to the stool-eaters [hogs],12th Sept

Gita shloka 5.22. there is no reason to labor very hard for sense pleasure while in this human form of life; such pleasures are available to the stool-eaters [hogs]. Rather, you should undergo penances in this life by which your existence will be purified, and, as a result, you will be able to enjoy unlimited transcendental bliss. An intelligent person does not take part in the sources of misery, which are due to contact with the material senses. O son of Kunti, such pleasures have a beginning and an end, and so the wise man does not delight in them.

 

 

 TRANSLATION

An intelligent person does not take part in the sources of misery, which are due to contact with the material senses. O son of Kunti, such pleasures have a beginning and an end, and so the wise man does not delight in them.

PURPORT

Material sense pleasures are due to the contact of the material senses, which are all temporary because the body itself is temporary.

 

A liberated soul is not interested in anything which is temporary.

 

Knowing well the joys of transcendental pleasures, how can a liberated soul agree to enjoy false pleasure? In the Padma Purana it is said:

ramante yogino 'nante satyananda-cid-atmani
iti rama-padenasau param brahmabhidhiyate

"The mystics derive unlimited transcendental pleasures from the Absolute Truth, and therefore the Supreme Absolute Truth, the Personality of Godhead, is also known as Rama."

In the Srimad-Bhagavatam also it is said:

nayam deho deha-bhajam nr-loke
kastan kaman arhate vid-bhajam ye
tapo divyam putraka yena sattvam
suddhyed yasmad brahma-saukhyam tv anantam.

"My dear sons, there is no reason to labor very hard for sense pleasure while in this human form of life; such pleasures are available to the stool-eaters [hogs].

 

Rather, you should undergo penances in this life by which your existence will be purified, and, as a result, you will be able to enjoy unlimited transcendental bliss." (Bhag.5.5.1)

Therefore, those who are true yogis or learned transcendentalists are not attracted by sense pleasures, which are the causes of continuous material existence.

 

The more one is addicted to material pleasures, the more he is entrapped by material miseries.

 

तेरा दीदार क्यों नहीं होता, Vinod Agarwal Bhajan lyrics, tera deedar kyon nahin hota

 तेरा दीदार क्यों नहीं होता 

मुझपे उपकार क्यों नहीं होता

WHY CAN’T I SEE YOU?

WHY AM I NOT GRACED BY YOU ?

मैं गुनेहगार फिर भी तेरा हूँ

तुम पर एतबार क्यों नहीं होता 

मेरा उद्धार क्यों नहीं होता 

I KNOW I AM YOUR CULPRIT (THAT I FORGOT YOU ALTOGETHER)

BUT WHY MY FAITH IS NOT STEADIED 100% ON YOU?

WHY CAN’T I COME CLOSE TO YOU ?

लाखों पापी तूने तार दिए 

मेरा उद्धार क्यों नहीं होता 

LAKHS OF SINNERS HAVE BEEN REDEEMED BY YOU.

BUT WHY AM I NOT BENEFITTED ?(,I.E., HOW AM I DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SINNERS) 

तेरे दामन में छुपके रो लेता 

ऐसा इक बार क्यों नहीं होता 

I WOULD CRY AT YOUR FEET ATONING FOR MY LAPSES

BUT WHY DOES THIS NOT HAPPEN ATLEAST ONCE ?

तेरी रहमत की चार बूंदो का 

ये हक़दार क्यूँ नहीं होता 

FOR A DROP OF YOUR BENEVOLENCE

WHY THIS HARASSED BEING IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THIS ?

तेरी चौखट पे जो किया मैंने 

सिजदा स्वीकार क्यों नहीं होता

I HAVE PRAYED A LOT AT YOUR DOORSTEP FOR YOUR MERCY

BUT WHY IS MY PRAYER NOT ACCEPTED ?

Bhagvat: The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone's heart and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine, made of material energy, 10th Sept

Bhagvat: The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone's heart and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine, made of material energy. The body of the conditioned soul is planned by the Lord for suffering in the material world through the agency of the external energy. If a conditioned soul, thinking of the Lord as an enemy or a friend, somehow or other becomes attached to the Lord, he receives great benefit. The conditioned soul, being in the bodily conception of life, considers his body to be his self and considers everything in relationship with the body to be his. Because he has this wrong conception of life, he is subjected to dualities like praise and chastisement.

TRANSLATION

Sri Sukadeva Gosvämi said: After hearing the request of Mahäräja Yudhishthira, Närada Muni, the most powerful spiritual master, who knew everything, was very pleased. Thus he replied in the presence of everyone taking part in the yajna.

TRANSLATION

The great sage Sri Näradaji said: O King, blasphemy and praise, chastisement and respect, are experienced because of ignorance. The body of the conditioned soul is planned by the Lord for suffering in the material world through the agency of the external energy.

PURPORT

In Bhagavad-gitä (18.61) it is said:

"The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone's heart, O Arjuna, and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine, made of material energy." 

A material body is manufactured by the external energy according to the direction of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The conditioned soul, being seated on this machine, wanders throughout the universe, and because of his bodily conception of life he only suffers. 

Actually the suffering of being blasphemed and the enjoyment of being praised, the acceptance of a good welcome or of chastisement by harsh words, are felt in the material conception of life; but since the body of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is not material but sac-cid-änanda-vigraha, He is unaffected by insults or greetings, blasphemy or prayers. Being always unaffected and complete, He does not feel extra pleasure when offered nice prayers by the devotee, although the devotee benefits by offering prayers to the Lord. 

Indeed, the Lord is very kind to His so-called enemy because one who always thinks of the Personality of Godhead as an enemy also benefits, although he thinks of the Lord adversely. If a conditioned soul, thinking of the Lord as an enemy or a friend, somehow or other becomes attached to the Lord, he receives great benefit.

TRANSLATION

My dear King, the conditioned soul, being in the bodily conception of life, considers his body to be his self and considers everything in relationship with the body to be his. Because he has this wrong conception of life, he is subjected to dualities like praise and chastisement.

PURPORT

Only when a conditioned soul accepts the body as himself does he feel the effects of chastisement or praise. Then he determines one person to be his enemy and another his friend and wants to chastise the enemy and welcome the friend. This creation of friends and enemies is a result of one's bodily conception of life.

सिर्फ एक बार मुलाकात का मौका दे दे, Vinod Agarwal Bhajan lyrics, sirf ek bar mulakat ka mauka de de

सिर्फ एक बार मुलाकात का मौका दे दे 

sirf ek bar mulakat ka mauka de de

सिर्फ एक बार मुलाकात का मौका दे दे

हम तेरे दर पे आयें हैं दीवानों की तरह

GIVE ME ONLY ONE CHANCE TO MEET YOU, I HAVE COME TO YOUR PLACE MADLY IN LOVE WITH YOU

मेरी मंज़िल है कहाँ, मेरा ठिकाना है कहाँ

छोड़ कर तुमको ऐ प्यारे, मुझको जाना है कहाँ

आज की रात मुलाकात दे दे

OTHER THAN YOU THERE IS NO DESTINATION FOR ME, THERE IS NO RESTING PLACE FOR ME, WHERE ELSE DO I GO, GIVE ME ONLY ONE NIGHT TO FACE YOU

अपनी आँखों में छुपा रखें हैं आंसूं मैंने

अपनी पलको पे सजा रखें हैं जुगनूं मैंने

मेरी आँखों को भी बरसात का मौका दे दे

THERE ARE TEARS WELLED UP IN MY EYES, MY EYES ARE NOT READY TO SLEEP, GIVE MY EYES AT LEAST ONE CHANCE TO RAIN TEARS

 

छोड़ना ही था तो इकरार किया ही क्यों था

बेदर्दी तूने मुझे प्यार किया किया ही क्यों था

सिर्फ दो चार सवालात का मौका दे दे

IF YOU WERE TO LEAVE ME FOREVER WHY DID YOU PROMISE THAT YOU WOULD MEET ME ONE DAY AND WHY DID YOU LOVE ME, O STONE HEARTED, GIVE ME AT LEAST ONE CHANCE TO ASK YOU A FEW IMPORTANT QUESTIONS 

 

आज की रात मेरा दर्दे मोहब्बत सुन ले

कम्पकपाते हुए होठों की शिकायत सुन ले

आज इज़हारे ख्यालात का मौका दे दे

हम तेरे दर पे आयें हैं दीवानों की तरह   

LISTEN TO MY ANGUISH AT LEAST TONIGHT, FROM MY SHIVERING & GRIEVING LIPS, GIVE ME A CHANCE TO EXPRESS ALL MY FEELINGS WITH OPEN HEART, I HAVE COME TO YOUR PLACE MADLY IN LOVE WITH YOU

सांवरियां ले चल परली पार  

कन्हैय्या ले चल परली पार  

जहाँ विराजे राधा रानी, अलबेली सरकार           

गुण अवगुण सब तुझको अर्पण

पाप पुण्य सब तुझको अर्पण

बुद्धि सहित मन तेरे अर्पण  

यह जीवन भी तेरे अर्पण

मैं तेरे चरणों की दासी,  मेरे प्राण आधार  

सांवरियां ले चल परली पार  

तेरी आस लगा बैठी हूँ  

लज्जा शील गवां बैठी हूँ  

आंखें खूब पका बैठी हूँ 

अपना आप लुटा बैठी हूँ

सांवरियां में तेरी रागनी, तू मेरा मल्हार  

सांवरियां ले चल परली पार  

जग की कुछ परवाह नहीं है 

तेरे बिना कोई चाह नहीं है 

कोई सूझती राह नहीं है  

तेरे मिलन की आस यही है

मेरे प्रीतम मेरे माझी, कर दो बेडा पार  

सांवरियां ले चल परली पार  

जहाँ विराजे राधा रानी, सब रसिको की सरदार  

आनंद घन यहाँ बरस रहा है

पत्ता पत्ता हर्ष रहा है  

हरि बेचारा तरस रहा है  

पीपी कह कोई बरस रहा है 

बहुत हुई अब हार गयी मैं, मेरे प्राण आधार 

नैय्या ले चल परली पार  

सांवरियां ले चल परली पार  

कन्हैय्या ले चल परली पार  

जहाँ विराजे राधा रानी, अलबेली सरकार

हे गोविन्द मिलती मैं तुझको, पर तेरा पता मालूम नहीं 

he Govind milti main tujhko par tera pata maloom nahin 

 

हे गोविन्द मिलती मैं तुझको, पर तेरा पता मालूम नहीं 

कुछ कहती अपनी और सुनती, पर तेरा पता मालूम नहीं 

 

बेचैन है रोते रहते हैं,आँखों में फिर भी अश्क़ नहीं 

हैं शिकवे और गिले कितने, होंठों पर आते लफ़्ज़ नहीं  

तेरे सामने बैठ के मैं रोती, पर तेरा पता मालूम नहीं 

हे गोविन्द मिलती मैं तुझसे, पर तेरा पता मालूम नहीं 

 

सब सगे सम्बन्धी हैं यूँ तो ,पर इनमें कोई रस ही नहीं 

हसरत तेरे दीदार की है ,पर इनमें कोई रस ही नहीं 

 

कई जतन हरी कर देख लिए ,आशा की कली नहीं खिलती 

अँधियारा ही अँधियारा है, दिल में कोई ज्योति नहीं जलती 

जग छोड़ शरण तेरी आ जाती, पर तेरा पता मालूम नहीं

आप क्या जानो ऐ श्याम सुंदर, Vinod Agarwal Bhajan lyrics, aap kya jano ae Shyam Sunder

आप क्या जानो ऐ श्याम सुंदर 

aap kya jano ae Shyam Sunder

 

आप क्या जानो ऐ श्याम सूंदर, कैसे तुम बिन जिए जा रहें हैं 

तेरे मिलने की उम्मीद ले कर, ग़म के आंसू पिए  जा रहें हैं 

 

ये जुदाई सहेंगे श्याम कब तक, बिन दर्शन रहेंगे श्याम कब तक, 

दुनिया से हो गए हो बेगाने , तेरा नाम लिए जा रहें हैं 

 

श्याम सुन्दर  कहाँ खो गए हो गए हो , इतने बेदर्द क्यों हो गए हो 

आप की बेवफाई के सदके, लोग ताने दिए जा रहें हैं 

 

याद आती है आती रहेगी , याद तेरी सताती रहेगी , 

जितना जी चाहे तड़पा लो हमको, तेरी पूजा किये जा रहें हैं 

 

(मेरे होश और हवास पे छा गए हो तुम, इस कदर मुझे अपना बना गए हो तुम ,मैं तुम्हारे सिवा कुछ सोच नहीं पाती ,इस कदर मेरे दिल में समा गए हो तुम 

गुलाबों की महक भी फीकी सी लगती है , ये कौन सी खुशबू मुझमें बसा गए हो तुम, और ज़िन्दगी क्या है तेरी चाहत के सिवा 

ये कैसा ख्वाब मेरी आँखों को दिखा गए हो तुम ,मेरे होंठों पे रहता है तुम्हारा ही ज़िक्र, जब से मुझे सीने से लगा गए हो तुम)

 

किन गुनाहों की हैं ये सजाएँ, श्याम सुन्दर हमें कुछ बताएं , टुकड़े टुकड़े किया दिल है मेरा, फिर भी प्यार तुमसे किये जा रहें हैं 

 

आप क्या जानो ऐ श्याम सूंदर, कैसे तुम बिन जिए जा रहें हैं 

तेरे मिलने की उम्मीद ले कर, ग़म के आंसू पिए जा रहें हैं

मेरा आप की कृपा से, सब काम हो रहा है Vinod Agarwal Bhajan lyrics, mere apki daya se sab kam ho raha hai

मेरा आप की कृपा से, सब काम हो रहा है 

करते हो तुम कन्हैया, मेरा नाम हो रहा है 

पतवार के बिना ही, मेरी नाव चल रही है

हैरान है ज़माना, मंजिल भी मिल रही है  

करता नहीं मैं कुछ भी, सब काम हो रहा है

(पहले दया से, फिर कृपा से... क्या अंतर है? विनोदजी ने समझाया की दया होती है और कृपा की जाती है. उधाहरण के रूप में विनोदजी कहते है की 

दया AK-47 rifle की तरह है, सब तरफ बरस रही, जिसको लगी लगी. लेकिन कृपा तो Revolver की तरह निशाना लगा कर की जाती है)

तुम साथ हो जो मेरे, किस चीज़ की कमी है 

किसी और चीज़ की अब दरकार ही नहीं है  

मैं तो नहीं हूँ काबिल, तेरा प्यार कैसे पाऊँ

टूटी हुई वाणी से, गुणगान कैसे गाऊं

करता नहीं मैं कुछ भी, सब काम हो रहा है

(विनोद जी कहते ही की उसके साथ का मतलब क्या है? वोह कोई बांसुरी बजता हुआ, पीताम्बर लहराता हुआ सामने थोड़े ही आ जायेगा. यह तो आग्रह है, यह ही हमारे मिलन में बाधक बन जाता है. इस आग्रह को भक्ति में दुराग्रह भी कह देते है. उसको आना किसी और रूप से था लेकिन जब हमने अपना आग्रह रख दिया, तो वो कहता है की जब मौका लगेगा तभी आऊँगा

अवतार वाद से पूरी बात नहीं बनती. 

अवतार में भगवन भक्तो को जीवन जीने का तरीका बताते है. 

अगर उनको अपने अवतार में इतना कुछ सहना पड़ा तो हमारी औकात ही क्या. 

क्या वो अपने संकल्प मात्रा से हे सब संकट और बाधाएं दूर नहीं कर सकते है. 

लेकिन उन्होंने समझाया है

अगर हम परेशानी में हो, और किसी बात से हमारा काम बन जाए तो समझना की वो इश्वर की कृपा ही थी. 

ऐसे अवसर पर हम अपने पुरुषार्थ को, दूसरे के एहसान को ही मान लेते है. लेकिन अगर हम इश्वर की कृपा को मान लें, तो वोह अनुभव द्रढ़ हो जाएगा और हमें आगे लेता जाएगा

Bhagvat: Supreme Personality of Godhead, the controller of the material and spiritual energies, who is certainly the creator of the entire cosmos, creates the time factor to allow the material energy and the living entity to act within the limits of time, 4th Sept

Bhagvat: Supreme Personality of Godhead, the controller of the material and spiritual energies, who is certainly the creator of the entire cosmos, creates the time factor to allow the material energy and the living entity to act within the limits of time. “There is no truth superior to Me." Nothing can be above Krshna, for He is the controller and creator of everything.

TRANSLATION

O great King, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the controller of the material and spiritual energies, who is certainly the creator of the entire cosmos, creates the time factor to allow the material energy and the living entity to act within the limits of time. Thus the Supreme Personality is never under the time factor nor under the material energy.

PURPORT

One should not think that the Lord is dependent on the time factor. He actually creates the situation by which material nature acts and by which the conditioned soul is placed under material nature. Both the conditioned soul and the material nature act within the time factor, but the Lord is not subject to the actions and reactions of time, for time has been created by Him. To be more clear, Srila Visvanätha Cakravarti Thäkura says that creation, maintenance and annihilation are all under the supreme will of the Lord.

In Bhagavad-gitä (4.7) the Lord says:

"Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bhärata, and a predominant rise of irreligion—at that time I descend Myself." Since Krshna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the controller of everything, when He appears He is not within the limitations of material time (janma karma cha me divyam). In this verse the words kälam charantam srjatisa äsrayam indicate that although the Lord acts within time, whether sattva-guna, rajo-guna or tamo-guna is prominent, one should not think that the Lord is under time's control. 

Time is within His control, for He creates time to act in a certain way; He is not working under the control of time. The creation of the material world is one of the Lord's pastimes. Everything is fully under His control. Since creation takes place when rajo-guna is prominent, the Lord creates the necessary time to give facilities for rajo-guna. Similarly, He also creates the necessary times for maintenance and annihilation. Thus this verse establishes that the Lord is not under the limitations of time.

As stated in the Brahma-samhitä, isvaram paramam krshnam: Krshna is the supreme controller. Sac-cid-änanda-vigraham: He possesses a blissful, spiritual body. Anädim: He is not subordinate to anything. As the Lord confirms in Bhagavad-gitä (7.7), mattam parataram nänyat kiïcid asti dhanaïjaya: "O conqueror of wealth [Arjuna], there is no truth superior to Me." Nothing can be above Krshna, for He is the controller and creator of everything.

The Mäyävädi philosophers say that this material world is mithyä, false, and that one should therefore not bother about this mithyä creation (brahma satyam jagan mithyä). But this is not correct. Here it is said, satya-krt: whatever is created by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, satyam param, cannot be called mithyä. The cause of the creation is satya, true, so how can the effect of the cause be mithyä? The very word satya-krt is used to establish that everything created by the Lord is factual, never false. The creation may be temporary, but it is not false.

Gita shloka 5.13, The living entity in his conditioned stage identifies himself with the body, but when he identifies himself with the Lord within himself, he becomes just as free as the Lord, even while in the body. The Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is living within the body of a living entity, is the controller of all living entities all over the universe. When one takes to Krsna consciousness, one at once becomes completely aloof from bodily activities.

TRANSLATION

When the embodied living being controls his nature and mentally renounces all actions, he resides happily in the city of nine gates [the material body], neither working nor causing work to be done.

PURPORT

The embodied soul lives in the city of nine gates.

The activities of the body, or the figurative city of body, are conducted automatically by the particular modes of nature.

The soul, although subjecting himself to the conditions of the body, can be beyond those conditions, if he so desires.

Owing only to forgetfulness of his superior nature, he identifies with the material body, and therefore suffers.

By Krsna consciousness, he can revive his real position and thus come out of his embodiment.

Therefore, when one takes to Krsna consciousness, one at once becomes completely aloof from bodily activities.

In such a controlled life, in which his deliberations are changed, he lives happily within the city of nine gates.

The nine gates are described as follows:

nava-dvare pure dehi hamso lelayate bahih

vasi sarvasya lokasya sthavarasya carasya ca.

"The Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is living within the body of a living entity, is the controller of all living entities all over the universe.

The body consists of nine gates: two eyes, two nostrils, two ears, one mouth, the anus and the genital.

The living entity in his conditioned stage identifies himself with the body, but when he identifies himself with the Lord within himself, he becomes just as free as the Lord, even while in the body." (Svet.3.18)

Therefore, a Krsna conscious person is free from both the outer and inner activities of the material body.

Gita shloka 5.12: This is the secret of Krsna consciousness—realization that there is no existence besides Krsna is the platform of peace and fearlessness, 2nd Sept

Gita shloka 5.12: This is the secret of Krsna consciousness—realization that there is no existence besides Krsna is the platform of peace and fearlessness. The steadily devoted soul attains unadulterated peace because he offers the result of all activities to Me; whereas a person who is not in union with the Divine, who is greedy for the fruits of his labor, becomes entangled.

TRANSLATION

The steadily devoted soul attains unadulterated peace because he offers the result of all activities to Me; whereas a person who is not in union with the Divine, who is greedy for the fruits of his labor, becomes entangled.

PURPORT

The difference between a person in Krsna consciousness and a person in bodily consciousness is that the former is attached to Krsna, whereas the latter is attached to the results of his activities.

The person who is attached to Krsna and works for Him only is certainly a liberated person, and he is not anxious for fruitive rewards.

In the Bhagavatam, the cause of anxiety over the result of an activity is explained as being due to one's functioning in the conception of duality, that is, without knowledge of the Absolute Truth.

Krsna is the Supreme Absolute Truth, the Personality of Godhead.

In Krsna consciousness, there is no duality.

All that exists is a product of Krsna's energy, and Krsna is all good.

Therefore, activities in Krsna consciousness are on the absolute plane; they are transcendental and have no material effect.

One is, therefore, filled with peace in Krsna consciousness.

One who is, however, entangled in profit calculation for sense gratification cannot have that peace.

This is the secret of Krsna consciousness—realization that there is no existence besides Krsna is the platform of peace and fearlessness.
