Bhagvat: "Those who are envious and mischievous, who are the lowest among men, are cast by Me into the ocean of material existence, into various demoniac species of life." He takes account of the conditioned soul's chanting of "Krshna, Krshna" so many times, 12th Sept

Bhagvat: "Those who are envious and mischievous, who are the lowest among men, are cast by Me into the ocean of material existence, into various demoniac species of life." He takes account of the conditioned soul's chanting of "Krshna, Krshna" so many times. He sometimes punishes such demons for one life by putting them in a lower species, but then, when they have stopped accusing Him, they are liberated in the next life because of chanting Krshna's name constantly. Krshna, being very kind, punishes the conditioned soul in one life for such sinful activities and then takes him back home, back to Godhead. When Krshna punishes a demon or conditioned soul, He stops that soul's habit of blaspheming Him, and when the soul becomes completely pure, the Lord takes him back to Godhead.



TRANSLATION
Because of the bodily conception of life, the conditioned soul thinks that when the body is annihilated the living being is annihilated. Lord Vishnu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the supreme controller, the Supersoul of all living entities. Because He has no material body, He has no false conception of "I and mine." It is therefore incorrect to think that He feels pleasure or pain when blasphemed or offered prayers. This is impossible for Him. Thus He has no enemy and no friend. When He chastises the demons it is for their good, and when He accepts the prayers of the devotees it is for their good. He is affected neither by prayers nor by blasphemy.

PURPORT
Because of being covered by material bodies, the conditioned souls, including even greatly learned scholars and falsely educated professors, all think that as soon as the body is finished, everything is finished. This is due to their bodily conception of life. 

Krshna has no such bodily conception, nor is His body different from His self. Therefore, since Krshna has no material conception of life, how can He be affected by material prayers and accusations? Krshna's body is described herewith as kaivalya, nondifferent from Himself. Since everyone has a material bodily conception of life, if Krshna had such a conception what would be the difference between Krshna and the conditioned soul? 

Krshna's instructions in Bhagavad-gitä are accepted as final because He does not possess a material body. As soon as one has a material body he has four deficiencies, but since Krshna does not possess a material body, He has no deficiencies. He is always spiritually conscious and blissful. Isvaram paramam krshnam sac-cid-änanda-vigraham: His form is eternal, blissful knowledge. Sac-cid-änanda-vigraham, änanda-chinmaya-rasa and kaivalya are the same.

Krshna can expand Himself as Paramätmä in the core of everyone's heart. In Bhagavad-gitä (13.3) this is confirmed. Kshetrajnam chäpi mäm viddhi sama-kshetreshu bhärata: the Lord is the Paramätmä—the ätmä or Superself of all individual souls. Therefore it must naturally be concluded that He has no defective bodily conceptions. Although situated in everyone's body, He has no bodily conception of life. 

He is always free from such conceptions, and thus He cannot be affected by anything in relation to the material body of the jiva.

Krshna says in Bhagavad-gitä (16.19):
"Those who are envious and mischievous, who are the lowest among men, are cast by Me into the ocean of material existence, into various demoniac species of life." Whenever the Lord punishes persons like demons, however, such punishment is meant for the good of the conditioned soul. 

The conditioned soul, being envious of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, may accuse Him, saying, "Krshna is bad, Krshna is a thief" and so on, but Krshna, being kind to all living entities, does not consider such accusations. Instead, He takes account of the conditioned soul's chanting of "Krshna, Krshna" so many times. 

He sometimes punishes such demons for one life by putting them in a lower species, but then, when they have stopped accusing Him, they are liberated in the next life because of chanting Krshna's name constantly. 
Blaspheming the Supreme Lord or His devotee is not at all good for the conditioned soul, but Krshna, being very kind, punishes the conditioned soul in one life for such sinful activities and then takes him back home, back to Godhead. 
The vivid example for this is Vrträsura, who was formerly Chitraketu Mahäräja, a great devotee. 

Because he derided Lord Siva, the foremost of all devotees, he had to accept the body of a demon called Vrtra, but then he was taken back to Godhead. Thus when Krshna punishes a demon or conditioned soul, He stops that soul's habit of blaspheming Him, and when the soul becomes completely pure, the Lord takes him back to Godhead.

तेरा दामन ना छोडूंगी मैं, tera daman na chodungi, 12th Sept


तेरा दामन ना छोडूंगी मैं, tera daman na chodungi

तेरा दामन ना छोडूंगी मैं

दिल दिया तुमको ऐ प्राण प्यारे

आशा तुमसे लगाई हुई है 

मेरे दिल में पड़े हैं जो  छाले 

देख के आ के ओ मुरलीवाले 


प्रीत जब से लगाई है तुमसे,अच्छी जग में हसाई हुई है 

तूने सबकी है बिगड़ी बनाई

तेरे द्वारे पे मैं भी हूँ आई 

क्या खता ऐसी मुझसे हुई है

क्यों न मेरी सुनाई हुई है 


जग ने मुझको कहीं का न छोड़ा 

नाता इस वास्ते मैंने तोडा 

दुश्मनों ने है मुझको है बक्शा

चोट अपनों से खाई हुई है

Gita shloka 5.21: Such a liberated person is not attracted to material sense pleasure or external objects but is always in trance, enjoying the pleasure within, 11th Sept

Gita shloka 5.21 Such a liberated person is not attracted to material sense pleasure or external objects but is always in trance, enjoying the pleasure within. In this way the self-realized person enjoys unlimited happiness, for he concentrates on the Supreme.


TRANSLATION

Such a liberated person is not attracted to material sense pleasure or external objects but is always in trance, enjoying the pleasure within. In this way the self-realized person enjoys unlimited happiness, for he concentrates on the Supreme.

PURPORT

Sri Yamunacarya, a great devotee in Krsna consciousness, said:

yadavadhi mama cetah krsna-padaravinde

nava-nava-rasa-dhamanudyata rantum asit

tadavadhi bata nari-sangame smaryamane

bhavati mukha-vikarah sustu nisthivanam ca

"Since I have been engaged in the transcendental loving service of Krsna, realizing ever-new pleasure in Him, whenever I think of sex pleasure, I spit at the thought, and my lips curl with distaste." 


A person in brahma-yoga, or Krsna consciousness, is so absorbed in the loving service of the Lord that he loses his taste for material sense pleasure altogether.


The highest pleasure in terms of matter is sex pleasure.


The whole world is moving under its spell, and a materialist cannot work at all without this motivation.


But a person engaged in Krsna consciousness can work with greater vigor without sex pleasure, which he avoids.


That is the test in spiritual realization.


Spiritual realization and sex pleasure go ill together.


A Krsna conscious person is not attracted to any kind of sense pleasure due to his being a liberated soul.

Bhagvat: In the material world a so-called family is a combination of several persons in one home to fulfill the terms of their imprisonment. As criminal prisoners scatter as soon as their terms are over and they are released, all of us who have temporarily assembled as family members will continue to our respective destinations, 11th Sept

Bhagvat: In the material world a so-called family is a combination of several persons in one home to fulfill the terms of their imprisonment. As criminal prisoners scatter as soon as their terms are over and they are released, all of us who have temporarily assembled as family members will continue to our respective destinations. Another example given is that family members are like straws carried together by the waves of a river. Sometimes such straws mix together in whirlpools, and later, dispersed again by the same waves, they float alone in the water. "The bewildered soul, under the influence of the three modes of material nature, thinks himself the doer of activities, which are in actuality carried out by nature." To become a demigod or to become godly, whatever one's occupation, one must satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead.


TRANSLATION

Some of the demons took digging instruments and broke down the bridges, the protective walls and the gates [gopuras] of the cities. Some took axes and began cutting the important trees that produced mango, jackfruit and other sources of food. Some of the demons took firebrands and set fire to the residential quarters of the citizens.


PURPORT

The cutting of trees is generally prohibited. In particular, trees that produce nice fruit for the maintenance of human society should not be cut. In different countries there are different types of fruit trees. In India the mango and jackfruit trees are prominent, and in other places there are mango trees, jackfruit trees, coconut trees and berry trees. Any tree that produces nice fruit for the maintenance of the people should not be cut at all. This is a sästric injunction.


TRANSLATION

Thus disturbed again and again by the unnatural occurrences caused by the followers of Hiranyakasipu, all the people had to cease the activities of Vedic culture. Not receiving the results of yajna, the demigods also became disturbed. They left their residential quarters in the heavenly planets and, unobserved by the demons, began wandering on the planet earth to see the disasters.


PURPORT

As stated in Bhagavad-gitä, the performance of yajna brings reciprocal good fortune for both the human beings and the demigods. When the performances of yajna were stopped by the disturbances of the demons, the demigods were naturally bereft of the results of yajna and hampered in executing their respective duties. Therefore they came down to the planet earth to see how people had become disturbed and to consider what to do.



TRANSLATION

After performing the ritualistic observances for the death of his brother, Hiranyakasipu, being extremely unhappy, tried to pacify his nephews.


TRANSLATION

O King, Hiranyakasipu was extremely angry, but since he was a great politician, he knew how to act according to the time and situation. With sweet words he began pacifying his nephews, whose names were Sakuni, Sambara, Dhrshti, Bhütasantäpana, Vrka, Kälanäbha, Mahänäbha, Harismasru and Utkaca. He also consoled their mother, his sister-in-law, Rushäbhänu, as well as his own mother, Diti. He spoke to them all as follows.


TRANSLATION

Hiranyakasipu said: My dear mother, sister-in-law and nephews, you should not lament for the death of the great hero, for a hero's death in front of his enemy is glorious and desirable.


TRANSLATION

My dear mother, in a restaurant or place for drinking cold water, many travelers are brought together, and after drinking water they continue to their respective destinations. Similarly, living entities join together in a family, and later, as a result of their own actions, they are led apart to their destinations.


PURPORT

"The bewildered soul, under the influence of the three modes of material nature, thinks himself the doer of activities, which are in actuality carried out by nature." (Bg. 3.27) All living entities act exactly according to the directions of prakrti, material nature, because in the material world we are fully under a higher control. All the living entities in this material world have come here only because they wanted to be equal to Krshna in enjoyment and have thus been sent here to be conditioned by material nature in different degrees. 


In the material world a so-called family is a combination of several persons in one home to fulfill the terms of their imprisonment. As criminal prisoners scatter as soon as their terms are over and they are released, all of us who have temporarily assembled as family members will continue to our respective destinations. Another example given is that family members are like straws carried together by the waves of a river. Sometimes such straws mix together in whirlpools, and later, dispersed again by the same waves, they float alone in the water.


Although Hiranyakasipu was a demon, he had Vedic knowledge and understanding. Thus the advice given to his family members—his sister-in-law, mother and nephews—was quite sound. The demons are considered highly elevated in knowledge, but because they do not use their good intelligence for the service of the Lord, they are called demons. The demigods, however, act very intelligently to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is confirmed in Srimad-Bhägavatam (1.2.13) as follows:


"O best among the twice-born, it is therefore concluded that the highest perfection one can achieve, by discharging his prescribed duties [dharma] according to caste divisions and orders of life, is to please the Lord Hari." To become a demigod or to become godly, whatever one's occupation, one must satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

चार चपेरे कानू पे टक्करां मारनै , O MAN, WHY YOU LABOUR DAY IN & DAY OUT ALL OVER



https://youtu.be/1BBkAeeeWm8?list=PLBdDLcI6qE-3AMVksRehgRPZV-Zqab_jx&t=99

चार चपेरे कानू पे टक्करां मारनै   

O MAN, WHY YOU LABOUR DAY IN & DAY OUT ALL OVER


वे जित्तियाँ होइयाँ बाजियाँ कानू हारनै   

& THEREFORE LOSE THE WON BATTLE     


वेख ओ सोना हर हर दे विच वसदा   

SEE, THAT LOVELY LORD IS SEATED HIMSELF IN ALL THE HEARTS     


तेरियाँ ओ करतूतां वेख के हसदा   

& HE LAUGHS AT YOUR FRIVOLOUS MIS DEEDS          


घरे गवाची चीज, टन्डोरा शहर विच   

YOU HAVE LOST HIM INSDE YOUR HEART BUT TRYING TO SEARCH AT ALL THE PLACES OUTSIDE


फर्क नहीं दिसदा तैनू अपने गैर विच   

WAKE UP, O MAN, YOU WHO CANNOT SEE WITH YOUR EYES THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHO IS YOUR OWN & WHO IS NOT      


तेरे दिल विच बंद खजाना नूर दा   

IN YOUR HEART IS TREASURE OF IMMEASURABLE POWER


वे घर विच बैठा, कर लै जलवा दूर दा   

BY MERELY CONTEMPLATING, YOU CAN BEHOLD HIS POWER


कहन सयाने दिल है खाणा रब दा   

WISE SAY THE HEART IS WHERE LORD IS 

जे लब्बे ते यार खजाना लबदा 

& IF YOU TRY TO FIND HIM, HE IS INDEED FOUND     

     

"उठ फरीदा वेख अकल दे अन्नया, वे कुदरत वेखी ,फ़ेर वी रब न मनया"      

YOU HAVE SEEN ALL OF NATURE & YET YOU DO NOT BELIEVE THAT HE IS BEHIND ALL THIS              

"EVEN AFTER SEEING HIS NATURE -SUN,MOON, PLANETS FLOATING METICULOUSLY IN THIN AIR CRORES OF MILES APART, SINCE TIME IMMEMORIAL & TIMELY SEQUENCE OF SEASONS, CREATION AND MAINTENANCE OF ALL LIVING BEINGS - IN SPITE OF OBSERVING ALL THIS, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TOTAL FAITH IN HIS INFINITE POWER, DEFINITELY DISCRIMINATION POWER IS DEEP ASLEEP, O MINDLESS !"
