Gita shloka 5.15, When one desires Krsna, the Lord takes special care and encourages one to desire in such a way that one can attain to Him and be eternally happy, 5th Sept

Gita shloka 5.15, When one desires Krsna, the Lord takes special care and encourages one to desire in such a way that one can attain to Him and be eternally happy. The Lord engages the living entity in pious activities so he may be elevated. The Lord engages him in impious activities so he may go to hell. By the will of the Supreme he can go to heaven or hell, as a cloud is driven by the air. Therefore the embodied soul, by his immemorial desire to avoid Krsna consciousness, causes his own bewilderment. Consequently, although he is constitutionally eternal, blissful and cognizant, due to the littleness of his existence he forgets his constitutional position of service to the Lord and is thus entrapped by nescience. And, under the spell of ignorance, the living entity claims that the Lord is responsible for his conditional existence. The Lord neither hates nor likes anyone, though He appears to.

TRANSLATION

Nor does the Supreme Spirit assume anyone's sinful or pious activities. Embodied beings, however, are bewildered because of the ignorance which covers their real knowledge.

PURPORT

The Sanskrit word vibhuh means the Supreme Lord who is full of unlimited knowledge, riches, strength, fame, beauty and renunciation.

He is always satisfied in Himself, undisturbed by sinful or pious activities.

He does not create a particular situation for any living entity, but the living entity, bewildered by ignorance, desires to be put into certain conditions of life, and thereby his chain of action and reaction begins.

A living entity is, by superior nature, full of knowledge.

Nevertheless, he is prone to be influenced by ignorance due to his limited power.

The Lord is omnipotent, but the living entity is not.

The Lord is vibhu, or omniscient, but the living entity is anu, or atomic.

Because he is a living soul, he has the capacity to desire by his free will.

Such desire is fulfilled only by the omnipotent Lord.

And so, when the living entity is bewildered in his desires, the Lord allows him to fulfill those desires, but the Lord is never responsible for the actions and reactions of the particular situation which may be desired.

Being in a bewildered condition, therefore, the embodied soul identifies himself with the circumstantial material body and becomes subjected to the temporary misery and happiness of life.

The Lord is the constant companion of the living entity as Paramatma, or the Supersoul, and therefore He can understand the desires of the individual soul, as one can smell the flavor of a flower by being near it.

Desire is a subtle form of conditioning of the living entity.

The Lord fulfills his desire as he deserves: Man proposes and God disposes.

The individual is not, therefore, omnipotent in fulfilling his desires.

The Lord, however, can fulfill all desires, and the Lord, being neutral to everyone, does not interfere with the desires of the minute independent living entities.

However, when one desires Krsna, the Lord takes special care and encourages one to desire in such a way that one can attain to Him and be eternally happy.

The Vedic hymn therefore declares:

esa u hy eva sadhu karma karayati tam yamebhyo lokebhya unninisate

esa u evasadhu karma karayati yamadho ninisate.

ajno jantur aniso 'yam atmanah sukha-duhkhayoh

isvara-prerito gacchet svargam vasvabhram eva ca.

"The Lord engages the living entity in pious activities so he may be elevated.

The Lord engages him in impious activities so he may go to hell.

The living entity is completely dependent in his distress and happiness.

By the will of the Supreme he can go to heaven or hell, as a cloud is driven by the air."

Therefore the embodied soul, by his immemorial desire to avoid Krsna consciousness, causes his own bewilderment.

Consequently, although he is constitutionally eternal, blissful and cognizant, due to the littleness of his existence he forgets his constitutional position of service to the Lord and is thus entrapped by nescience.

And, under the spell of ignorance, the living entity claims that the Lord is responsible for his conditional existence.

The Vedanta-sutras also confirm this:

vaisamya-nairghrnye na sapeksatvat tatha hi darsayati.

"The Lord neither hates nor likes anyone, though He appears to."

Bhagvat: "I envy no one, nor am I partial to anyone. I am equal to all." The Supreme Personality of Godhead cannot be partial; He is always equal to everyone, 5th Sept

Bhagvat: "I envy no one, nor am I partial to anyone. I am equal to all." The Supreme Personality of Godhead cannot be partial; He is always equal to everyone. Therefore when the demigods are favored and the demons killed, this is not His partiality but the influence of the time factor.

TRANSLATION

O King, this time factor enhances the sattva-guna. Thus although the Supreme Lord is the controller, He favors the demigods, who are mostly situated in sattva-guna. Then the demons, who are influenced by tamo-guna, are annihilated. The Supreme Lord induces the time factor to act in different ways, but He is never partial. Rather, His activities are glorious, and therefore He is called Urusravä.

PURPORT

The Lord says in Bhagavad-gitä (9.29), samo'ham sarva-bhüteshu na me dveshyo 'sti na priyam: "I envy no one, nor am I partial to anyone. I am equal to all." The Supreme Personality of Godhead cannot be partial; He is always equal to everyone. Therefore when the demigods are favored and the demons killed, this is not His partiality but the influence of the time factor. A good example in this regard is that an electrician connects both a heater and a cooler to the same electrical energy. 

The cause of the heating and cooling is the electrician's manipulation of the electrical energy according to his desire, but factually the electrician has nothing to do with causing heat or cold, nor with the enjoyment or suffering that results.

There have been many historical incidents in which the Lord killed a demon, but the demon attained a higher position by the mercy of the Lord. Pütanä is an example. Pütanä's purpose was to kill Krshna. Aho baki yam stana-käla-kütam. 

She approached the house of Nanda Mahäräja with the purpose of killing Krshna by smearing poison on her breast, yet when she was killed she attained the highest position, achieving the status of Krshna's mother. Krshna is so kind and impartial that because he sucked Pütanä's breast, He immediately accepted her as His mother. 

This superfluous activity of killing Pütanä did not diminish the Lord's impartiality. He is suhrdam sarva-bhütänäm, the friend of everyone. Therefore partiality cannot apply to the character of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who always maintains His position as the supreme controller. The Lord killed Pütanä as an enemy, but because of His being the supreme controller, she attained an exalted position as His mother. 

Srila Madhva Muni therefore remarks, käle käla-vishaye 'pisitä. dehädi-käranatvät suränikam iva sthitam sattvam. Ordinarily a murderer is hanged, and in the Manu-samhitä it is said that a king bestows mercy upon a murderer by killing him, thus saving him from various kinds of suffering. Because of his sinful activities, such a murderer is killed by the mercy of the king. Krshna, the supreme judge, deals with matters in a similar way because He is the supreme controller. The conclusion, therefore, is that the Lord is always impartial and always very kind to all living entities.

Vinod Agarwal Bhajan lyrics ना दौलत से, ना दुनिया से ना घर आबाद करने से तसल्ली दिल को मिलती है खुदा को याद करने से

https://youtu.be/QrSLreGLimg?t=55

ना दौलत से, ना दुनिया से ना घर आबाद करने से 

तसल्ली दिल को मिलती है खुदा को याद करने से  

BLISS IS NOT OBTAINED FROM MONEY, NOR FROM SELFISH NOURISHMENT OF FAMILY BUT HAPPINESS IS A CONSEQUENCE OF REMEMBERING LORD

 

वह दिल ही नहीं जिस दिल में कभी सांवरिया तेरी याद ना हो

THAT CANNOT BE CALLED A HEART WHEREIN THERE IS NO REMEMBRANCE OF YOU  

 

वह याद नहीं जिसमें तुझसे कुछ लुत्फ़ भरी फरियाद ना हो

THAT CANNOT BE CALLED A REMEMBRANCE WHEREIN THERE IS NO SWEET WISH ASKED FOR FROM YOU

 

 फरियाद भी वो क्या जिसमें हो न चाह तुझसे मिलने की

THAT CANNOT BE CALLED A SWEET WISH WHEREIN THERE IS NO EAGERNESS TO MEET YOU

 

वह चाह नहीं जिसमें कि तेरे आशिक का घर बर्बाद ना हो

THAT CANNOT BE CALLED AN EAGERNESS WHEREIN THERE IS NO DISTURBANCE IN MY HOME

 

बर्बादी भी वो क्या जिसमें कुछ रुसवा ना सरे बाजार हुए

THAT CANNOT BE CALLED AN DISTURBANCE OF HOME WHEREIN YOU ACTUALLY DO NOT GET SCORNED

 

(प्रेमी हो और उसकी बदनामी ना हो कैसे संभव है, लेकिन वह प्रेम क्या कि बदनामी के डर से कदम पीछे हट जाएं)

 

रुसवाई ही वो क्या जिसमें कोई जोशे जनूँ आबाद ना हो

THAT CANNOT BE CALLED A SCORN WHEREIN THERE IS NO FURTHER ENTHUSIASM GENERATED (TO MEET YOU)

 

(जितनी जितनी बदनामी बढ़ती जाती है प्यार परवान (ROCKETS UP) चढ़ता जाता है, और भी उमंग और भी तरंग बढ़ती जाती है, कि जो होना था सो तो हो गया, अब किस बात की शर्म, आप कैसा शील (MODESTY), कैसा संकोच (DOUBT), कैसी मर्यादायें (LIMITATIONS), कैसी परंपराए (TRADITIONS), कैसी मान्यताएं (BELIEFS)

 

 वो जोशे जनूँ भी क्या जिसमें, कुछ बिंदु ना आंखों से टपकें

THAT CANNOT BE CALLED AN ENTHUSIASM WHEREIN THERE ARE NO TEARS SEEN IN YOUR EYES

 

 वह बिंदु भी क्या जिसमें उल्फत दरिया की लहर इजात ना हो (उल्फत=LOVE, उल्फत = INCREMENTED)

THAT CANNOT BE CALLED A TEAR WHICH DOES NOT ADD UP TO MAKE A RIVER

Gita shloka 5.14, As soon as the living entity becomes aloof from the activities of the body, he becomes free from the reactions as well, 4th Sept

Gita shloka 5.14, As soon as the living entity becomes aloof from the activities of the body, he becomes free from the reactions as well.As long as he is in the city of body, he appears to be the master of it, but actually he is neither its proprietor nor controller of its actions and reactions.He is simply in the midst of the material ocean, struggling for existence.The waves of the ocean are tossing him, and he has no control over them.His best solution is to get out of the water by transcendental Krsna consciousness.That alone will save him from all turmoil.

TRANSLATION

The embodied spirit, master of the city of his body, does not create activities, nor does he induce people to act, nor does he create the fruits of action. All this is enacted by the modes of material nature.

PURPORT

The living entity, as will be explained in the Seventh Chapter, is one in nature with the Supreme Lord, distinguished from matter, which is another nature—called inferior—of the Lord.

Somehow, the superior nature, the living entity, has been in contact with material nature since time immemorial.

The temporary body or material dwelling place which he obtains is the cause of varieties of activities and their resultant reactions.

Living in such a conditional atmosphere, one suffers the results of the activities of the body by identifying himself (in ignorance) with the body.

It is ignorance acquired from time immemorial that is the cause of bodily suffering and distress.

As soon as the living entity becomes aloof from the activities of the body, he becomes free from the reactions as well.

As long as he is in the city of body, he appears to be the master of it, but actually he is neither its proprietor nor controller of its actions and reactions.

He is simply in the midst of the material ocean, struggling for existence.

The waves of the ocean are tossing him, and he has no control over them.

His best solution is to get out of the water by transcendental Krsna consciousness.

That alone will save him from all turmoil.

भगवान की कृपा है तभी तो आप मनुष्य हैं, It is only by His grace that you are born a human #Blog0083

It is only by His grace that you are born a human

भगवान की कृपा है तभी तो आप मनुष्य हैं

तभी तो आप भारत में पैदा हुए हैं

तभी तो यह आप संदेश पढ़ पा रहे हैं सत्संग कर पा रहे हैं                              

भगवान की कृपा प्राप्त करने के लिए प्रयास नहीं करना पड़ता                

सूर्य का प्रकाश पाने के लिए कितनी मेहनत करनी पड़ती है आपको कुछ भी नहीं              

 क्या करना है अधिक से अधिक केवल आंख ही तो खोलनी है                 

यह बात अलग है कि कोई हाथ चलाए पैर चलाए, बहुत परिश्रम कर 

लेकिन आंख ही ना खोले फिर कैसे उसको प्रकाश की अनुभूति हो                               

सब कुछ हो जीवन में लेकिन सुख की अनुभूति के लिए जो वस्तुत: चाहिए 

पात्रता 

वह केवल सत्संग से ही मिलती है 

साधु (devotee) संग से, सेवा से सुमिरन से                              

सत्संग, सेवा, सुमिरन से पूर्व मंदिर में आप दर्शन करते होंगे भगवान का                              

मगर सत्संग, सेवा, सुमिरन के बाद भगवान भी आपको देखने लगते हैं 

जिससे कि आपको सुख की अनुभूति स्थिर होने लगती है
