[00:01] okay if you like We Can chant together
[00:06] oh my God
[00:14] [Music]
[00:30] Rama
[01:05] Foreign.
[01:29] Okay, thank you.
[01:29] So I think we are done with uh first six chapters.
[01:34] Many of you are done there.
[01:41] So we'll start a new chapter today, Chapter 9.
[01:46] And this will be a new chapter for Divya mataji, but I'm going to give a summary.
[01:53] So title of this chapter is the most confidential knowledge.
[01:56] 18 chapter Bhagavad-Gita has.
[02:01] And uh Bhagavad-Gita is considered a
[02:08] Sense of all Vedic teaching.
[02:13] Because it's words of Krishna directly.
[02:17] So it's essence gito.
[02:23] And 9 and 10 chapter is right in the middle of Bhagavad-Gita.
[02:34] So in the very middle of the Bhagavad-Gita, Krishna talks about should bhakti.
[02:44] Pure, unalloid devotional service yoga.
[02:56] Or guni bhuta bhakti foreign.
[03:11] so let's try to understand this one will give you some background so chapter 8.
[03:19] in chapter seven talks about bhakti.
[03:24] what is prominent and there is some some aspect of Gyan Karma Yoga.
[03:38] so gooni three terms we have to remember Buddha bhakti.
[03:48] foreign is there but it's mostly in different different modes more in fashion or you know.
[04:11] in the mode of goodness
[04:14] so it's Guna because there is some desire
[04:20] for self enjoyment or for self laser
[04:23] so it's still within the Guna
[04:32] Pradhan bhakti
[04:35] where bhakti is prominent
[04:38] but since devotee is not purified completely
[04:39] there is still some things of Desire
[04:48] so that's we'll talk about that and then
[04:53] highest most is
[04:55] kevale bhakti and allowed devotional service
[04:59] where anukulenu krishnano bhakti rutma
[05:06] the code Drive
[05:07] the core Foundation
[05:13] for acting in devotional services for the pleasure of Krishna Village.
[05:25] so first six after bhagavad-gita talks about guni Buddha bhakti.
[05:30] 7th and eighth chapter talks about.
[05:37] in seventh chapter Krishna musli is talking about.
[05:45] who are the people who approach him.
[05:55] foreign.
[06:03] and then he also says.
[06:07] there is another type of person who is seeking Liberation from.
[06:14] In the old days and dates.
[06:16] And that's basically.
[06:18] Uh, that's basically Yog Mishra Bhakti.
[06:24] And then he says,
[06:32] So six types of personalities are mentioned in seven chapter.
[06:38] And then Krishna in seventh chapter, he says that the essence is to remember me.
[06:48] But the one who knows me as, they can remember me.
[07:02] So Krishna has, you know, tossed multiple terms such as.
[07:13] Added that your.
[07:15] and then in a chapter Arjun is asking what those terms are.
[07:22] and then ah also in seventh chapter Krishna has spoken how to uh attend him.
[07:31] at the time of death whoever remembers him can attain him.
[07:39] so chapter 8 very much talks about how one can remember Krishna.
[07:48] right so first four verses krsna has answered arjuna's questions.
[07:53] and then he is helping Arjun to understand how one can remember him.
[08:01] so uh he gave two uh levels of understanding.
[08:07] first foreign how they can remember him how Yogi can remember him and then he is uh
[08:18] giving understanding how a pure bhaktiya can remember him
[08:21] and then he gives the comparative study
[08:24] that material world is uh coming and going
[08:28] objectum manifests and it unmanifest
[08:38] but out of this out of this material creation or Beyond this material creation
[08:43] there is a spiritual word that is not affected by this inhalation and creation it's eternal
[08:50] so how one should aspire to attain that pure abode
[08:57] which is eternal and only those who are engaged in pure devotional service can attain his abode
[09:05] so in eighth chapter last two verses krsna is talking about
[09:19] Pure devotional service.
[09:21] So he says.
[09:33] Foreign.
[09:37] So he makes recommendation to Arjun.
[09:41] That in every situation.
[09:46] One should fix.
[09:49] Once you try to fix his mind unto him.
[09:54] Without any deviation.
[09:56] The smart therefore the smart is always concluding the smart.
[10:04] Therefore every time all the time.
[10:10] Always fully situated yourself and devotional service.
[10:15] Always remember Krishna.
[10:21] So that's the recommendation he gives.
[10:24] And he further says.
[10:47] Krishna is their sense of studying the Veda.
[10:53] He is a sense of all the Australian sacrifice that's being performed.
[11:00] All the charity.
[11:03] All the pious deed.
[11:06] The one is English the results of that high state.
[11:13] And even the result that comes out of.
[11:20] And even the result that comes out of all of this.
[11:24] one can surpass results so not only the result of studying the Veda or doing the tapasya or doing the dhan or doing the punya past activity even beyond that more than that not only that but more than that one can achieve by engaging in his pure devotional service.
[11:56] so such devotee yogip such a person such a devotee will attain his Supreme abode.
[12:08] so now discussion has very much come to your analyzed devotional service.
[12:16] so in ninth chapter krsna is now going to talk about the
[12:24] Most confidential law is and this knowledge of unallured bhakti is most confidential knowledge.
[12:43] So first reverse isna talks about how powerful this knowledge is.
[12:55] Which knowledge, the knowledge of bhakti, pure bhakti that Krishna is going to teach Arjuna, how powerful this knowledge is.
[13:06] And then Krsna is talks about his Aishwarya Gyan.
[13:13] So what are two different types of Gyan.
[13:15] We have talked, can somebody who attended seventh chapter can say what are the two types of Gyan Vishna is saying.
[13:37] yes
[13:43] so there are two types of knowledge
[13:47] knowledge has to aspect foreign to act in madhuria otherwise it becomes sahaja
[14:07] you know how powerful Lord is one has to know
[14:13] right
[14:14] and sometimes uh you may hear oh no knowledge is needed
[14:23] so when we say that there is no knowledge needed many time you will hear devotee do say that
[14:31] but the knowledge that we are saying
[14:33] that not needed.
[14:35] is not this knowledge.
[14:38] the knowledge of bhagavad-gita knowledge.
[14:40] of bhagavatam is needed.
[14:42] because this knowledge is not can yoga.
[14:45] this knowledge is bhakti yoga.
[14:49] by knowing this knowledge.
[14:52] he will become a better devotee.
[14:56] so for you to be pure devotee.
[15:00] for you to chant the name of Krishna.
[15:02] purely.
[15:05] for us to perform pure devotional.
[15:07] service we have to know this knowledge.
[15:10] so this is.
[15:12] knowledge of bhakti.
[15:15] this is not Gan Yogi knowledge you're.
[15:18] not studying something to be the.
[15:20] prosperior learned in a scholar or you.
[15:22] know in a scripture this study of.
[15:25] bhagavad-gita is needed for one to.
[15:28] become a better devotee.
[15:30] to.
[15:32] so we have to add this knowledge so is.
[15:35] needed.
[15:39] opulence of Krishna is needed.
[15:42] Krishna has talked about that in seventh.
[15:44] chapter.
[15:45] and he's going to talk in this chapter.
[15:47] so Aishwarya is needed to develop the.
[15:50] Madhuri of how.
[15:51] they say that.
[15:53] you know just a very simple example.
[15:55] don't take it otherwise if wife does not.
[15:58] know why if wife does not have respect.
[16:01] for the husband she would never engage.
[16:04] in the Madhuri Rasha she would never.
[16:05] have the due respect.
[16:08] you know for the husband.
[16:10] so in that way unless and until you do.
[16:12] not know who the Lord is.
[16:15] you know the the next change of the.
[16:18] relationship.
[16:20] or how to.
[16:21] deal in a specific relationship which is.
[16:24] not going to manifest.
[16:27] King.
[16:29] has his.
[16:31] uh you know assembly member.
[16:35] who gives advice who works with King
[16:38] King has his you know soldiers who are guarding his kingdom
[16:45] King has servants who are serving him so knowing the position of King everybody
[16:52] King says mother and father also so knowing the position of King everybody
[16:58] is situated in a specific relationship and then they are dealing in that relationships so knowledge of that relationship is not Gyan yoga knowledge
[17:11] of that listens if it's bhakti yoga so we are studying bhakti sastri or bhagavad-gita is not something that should be criticized it's very much needed to understand
[17:22] Lord and how we can situate ourselves in the relationship so that is why Krishna is in the ninth chapter when he is talking about the fact yoga is talking about his Surya
[17:37] Gyan it's very much needed ninth Kanto.
[17:38] Bhagavatam must be studied very systematically very thoroughly to understand the subject that is presented in 10th Canto.
[17:48] Ninth Scandal Bhagavatam is talking about Aishwarya so Krishna is going to talk about here resource again.
[17:55] And this is where again is needed to serve him to understand who he is so that we can in a specific relationship serve him and work under you know his guidance.
[18:09] And then Krishna talks about different types of worshiper worshiper of Lord.
[18:16] And then finally he again summarizes this chapter about saying the glorification of bhakti yoga how powerful how glorious is the uh bhakti bhakti of supreme Lord.
[18:39] So this slide, please, I'll keep on sowing.
[18:43] And please, uh, remember the slide.
[18:48] So this is term given by Vishva Thakur.
[18:51] If somebody will ask you from where this term is coming, the answer should be given as given by our Acharya.
[19:01] Is three terms.
[19:10] Foreign.
[19:30] Only bhakti.
[19:33] So bhakti yoga, Mishra bhakti, bhakti is prominent or karma is there, so karma.
[19:41] Mishra bhakti mishram means mixed up.
[19:44] Right mixer so bhakti is prominent but karma is a little bit there.
[19:48] Bhakti is prominent but guys were there.
[19:51] Bhakti is prominent but yoga is there.
[19:53] But in kewalya bhakti it's only pure devotional service and that devotional service is performed in different different relationships.
[19:57] Such as.
[20:09] So what's happening is that uh first sixth chapter is talking about.
[20:14] So chapter 2 and 3.
[20:24] Foreign.
[20:36] This is done for purification.
[20:41] so once
[20:43] we have a purified heart
[20:46] then we can continue performing
[20:50] niscom yoga which is at the stage of
[20:54] purification and Gan yoga
[20:58] so that's so nice
[21:02] that was the uh topic of third and
[21:06] fourth chapter
[21:07] and fifth chapter
[21:10] yoga
[21:14] and chapter 6 talks about Astan yoga
[21:16] right then you've got a stand yoga
[21:19] so first six chapter is talking about
[21:24] and then
[21:25] chapter 7 talks about karmasra bhakti
[21:29] and Gyan Mishra bhakti
[21:35] and chapter 8 we talked about
[21:42] can remember him but there are also uh
[21:47] Cavalier bhakti too
[21:49] right chapter 7 to 12 we're going to
[21:53] talk about
[21:55] so there was some verses
[21:59] that was talking about pure devotional
[22:02] service such as
[22:13] so
[22:15] there were some verses here and there
[22:18] was talking about uh
[22:22] pure devotional service
[22:24] but the major
[22:27] or prominent content of the
[22:30] first accepted is
[22:33] and seventh and eighth chapter
[22:36] is talking about Pradhan Buddha bhakti
[22:38] and chapter 9
[22:42] and we are going to talk this chapter is
[22:45] talking about
[22:47] unalued devotion
[22:50] Ally bhakti
[22:53] so is it clear so far before we start
[22:55] talking about
[22:57] the verses from this chapter was it
[22:59] enough background to make you understand
[23:01] where we are
[23:07] yeah thank you very much it was very
[23:10] comprehensive
[23:13] thank you bro
[23:18] are we clear so far where we are
[23:22] yes
[23:23] okay so we are not lost right we are not
[23:25] lost good thank you so much
[23:28] yeah that is very important we want to
[23:30] make sure because there is so many
[23:33] subject I will be talking
[23:36] and that's why systematic study is very
[23:38] very important because it will help us
[23:40] understand exactly what is being spoken
[23:43] what is being thought in a particular
[23:45] chapter and the flow
[23:49] okay so we'll get into
[23:51] ninth chapter
[23:53] so anybody would like to share anything
[23:55] so far before we proceed to next chapter
[24:05] thank you very much for explaining the
[24:08] difference between 7th chapter and nine
[24:11] chapters
[24:12] because something back we try to
[24:15] remember all the verses of seventh and
[24:17] 9th and after some time we got confused
[24:19] because this verses and the themes were
[24:21] similar
[24:22] yeah
[24:24] yes
[24:27] [Music]
[24:32] bhakti prominent
[24:34] so yes it appears you are you are I I
[24:38] also had the same question
[24:40] that it appears that it's talking only
[24:42] about pure bhakti right
[24:45] or yeah I would totally agree with that
[25:00] it's uh
[25:04] so why is it that was not very clear
[25:10] so now it's clear
[25:12] yeah
[25:15] so this this slide
[25:18] something in the center right yeah this
[25:22] is nice
[25:23] we have to hit the
[25:26] middle portion yes the most delicate
[25:29] part
[25:31] in the center
[25:33] so you have to peel it off right
[25:36] but you have to peel it off
[25:39] the skin
[25:41] then there will be some you know
[25:44] me some yeah some food
[25:47] then if you go deeper then even sweeter
[25:50] fruit
[25:51] so sweet sweeter and in the center is
[25:55] the sweetest
[25:57] fruit
[25:59] they say that the most important thing
[26:01] in the sandwich is the middle part right
[26:04] so we'll see the very first verse
[26:07] Krishna is going to talk
[26:08] is about that specific point that you
[26:12] just raised so first verse
[26:18] Lord SRI Krishna is saying
[26:22] that's the word comes here
[26:25] away
[26:39] foreign
[26:41] means
[26:44] I'm going to speak
[26:46] I'm going to talk I'm going to talk to
[26:49] you
[26:50] about
[26:52] a very confidential subject
[26:58] so Lord himself says here that bhakti is
[27:01] a confidential subject
[27:03] now
[27:06] you know see one after another
[27:21] so you can see you know Krishna is not
[27:24] saying that bhakti is very easy every
[27:27] and each and everybody will take it
[27:29] whoever you go and say that hey why is
[27:31] that your chant name of Krishna
[27:33] they'll say yeah yeah
[27:35] thank you so much I'll take it no
[27:40] no there is
[27:46] so have to have some past credit
[27:51] to accept bhakti of Krishna because
[27:54] krsna himself has said that
[27:57] so again he is saying that I am now
[28:01] going to talk to you
[28:04] about
[28:08] the most confidential knowledge
[28:10] and this knowledge has two aspect he
[28:14] says
[28:15] what are those aspect who can say
[28:20] what are those two aspect of those
[28:22] knowledge
[28:23] as given in this verse
[28:31] then
[28:33] again again yeah
[28:40] yes thank you
[28:42] so
[28:44] krsna says that I am going to tell you
[28:46] the most confidential knowledge
[28:49] and this knowledge has Ghana part and it
[28:53] has
[28:57] translate it as
[29:00] phenomenal and numeral
[29:04] you know again and began
[29:07] translated as Gyan is a Surya foreign
[29:16] so one need to have that Aishwarya
[29:19] understanding to act in mathura
[29:23] relationship
[29:24] this the knowledge has two components
[29:27] okay so always remember
[29:30] now let's add these two components so he
[29:32] is saying that I am going to tell you a
[29:34] very confidential knowledge Arjun
[29:36] and this knowledge has to aspect
[29:39] one is Gyan
[29:42] which is my yes Warrior
[29:45] which is Luminous
[29:47] sorry phenomenal knowledge
[29:49] and it has begun also realized aspect
[29:57] so
[29:59] by devotional service
[30:01] all of us
[30:04] have our own realizations every day you
[30:07] get up in the morning
[30:09] and you'll see that one curtain is open
[30:11] you know by engaging in devotional
[30:14] service by sowing our honesty sincerity
[30:18] you know Krishna will remove the curtain
[30:21] one by one
[30:23] this is very personal relationship
[30:25] although we practice bhakti in
[30:28] association
[30:30] but still our relationship with Krishna
[30:34] is very personal
[30:36] you with your Krishna
[30:39] your sincerity
[30:41] your desire to serve him
[30:45] and then krsna deals
[30:49] with you in a very individual basis
[30:52] and then he will slowly slowly slowly
[30:56] remove the curtain
[30:59] and it will reveal
[31:01] now
[31:03] if somebody will ask you
[31:05] to
[31:07] eat
[31:08] you know at end sanitary police
[31:11] unsanitary place
[31:13] or eat food which are unsanitary
[31:18] you would not agree it is not part of
[31:20] you part of you you have no test for it
[31:24] you have not I mean there is no taste do
[31:26] I hanker to eat meat there is nothing I
[31:29] mean I can't even think about I mean if
[31:31] people are eating I don't know why
[31:33] people are eating it we have nothing to
[31:35] do with that thing I mean this is not
[31:37] even something that that is on our radar
[31:40] how it has happened
[31:43] mercy of Krishna
[31:45] some truth has revealed how come all
[31:50] living beings are part and parcel of
[31:52] Krishna Mama Evans
[31:55] so some realization has come upon us and
[31:58] that realization is driving us
[32:01] making us act oh you know whole world
[32:04] get them do whatever
[32:07] uh that trying to do
[32:10] let me
[32:12] let me serve
[32:15] one of the realizations that I got today
[32:17] coming from the temple I was just
[32:20] thanking my forefathers
[32:23] that they were so nice that they stayed
[32:27] as Hindu
[32:28] they didn't change their religion no
[32:30] because at Medieval India history if you
[32:33] read
[32:35] and if you understand how Mughal was
[32:37] torturing the Hindu believer
[32:40] and uh and they were you know left and
[32:44] right changing People the whole Pakistan
[32:47] that now they are on the globe they're
[32:49] all Hindus their forefathers are Hindus
[32:51] right now they are supporting Islam and
[32:55] all of that but their fathers were
[32:57] Hindus now to criticize but just
[32:59] realization and I was just thanking my
[33:02] grandfather whoever I know all the names
[33:04] and I said thank you so much maybe they
[33:06] were very poor they never came on the
[33:08] radar and uh nobody even attempted to
[33:13] convert them Google didn't even think
[33:16] about them
[33:17] so all of us are very very thankful to
[33:20] our forefather because
[33:23] they stayed
[33:24] at the course of time we had some seed
[33:27] and that's it later fructified and we
[33:31] have no opportunity to practice so there
[33:33] are tons and tons of realizations like
[33:35] that
[33:36] that will come to you on day to day
[33:38] basis thank you you know if somebody's
[33:40] engaging in your service thank you that
[33:43] helped me thank you for being so heavy
[33:45] on me thank you all of that realization
[33:49] so Krishna is saying here that I am
[33:51] going to give you a very confidential
[33:53] knowledge
[33:54] and This Confidential knowledge has to
[33:57] aspect ganum and beganum
[34:02] what will happen
[34:04] foreign
[34:10] this
[34:14] knowledge
[34:16] which is
[34:18] it will
[34:21] remove all the
[34:24] issue it will you know it will bring you
[34:27] to my Abode by knowing this knowledge
[34:33] it will bring you it will give you the
[34:37] Eternal liberation
[34:39] which means you will realize me and he
[34:41] will come to me so that's knowledge
[34:44] Krishna is saying it's very it's in one
[34:46] verse there's a lot of message are
[34:48] loaded
[34:49] krsna says that uh I'll give you this
[34:53] knowledge that has gone and began
[34:55] element and by this knowing by knowing
[34:58] this knowledge he will come to me you
[35:01] will know me so this is such a powerful
[35:02] knowledge now Krishna is giving the
[35:04] knowledge of knowing himself and coming
[35:06] to his Abode so here you know we would I
[35:09] would like to remind that the word that
[35:11] is being used
[35:14] so
[35:16] the Guna bhuta bhakti or guni
[35:22] confidential knowledge
[35:30] and pure
[35:32] unalua devotion is
[35:36] so this is a question that normally I
[35:38] ask in the exam
[35:40] that what is
[35:45] and the answer you have to give is that
[35:48] knowledge of
[35:49] uh
[35:52] or guni Buddha bhakti where there is
[35:55] some degree of bhakti
[35:57] is
[35:59] known as
[36:05] pect of
[36:07] Lord so even here too by the way
[36:13] PA says that brahmamati paramamati that
[36:17] says but it's in first country
[36:20] says that all of these are
[36:23] transdentalists it took time for me to
[36:25] understand why probadh is saying
[36:32] all of them are
[36:34] all of them are basically
[36:38] transdental you have you know true and
[36:41] false in your exam
[36:43] that knowing certain thing
[36:47] whatever we know is knowing the
[36:50] difference different aspect of Krishna
[36:52] and the answer is true many of you have
[36:54] answered true yes
[36:56] so different degree of understanding
[36:59] Maybe
[37:00] it's not complete understanding of
[37:02] Krishna
[37:04] but it is knowledge of different aspects
[37:06] of krsna Brahman
[37:08] is
[37:10] is krsna with effordance paramatma is
[37:14] Krishna and bhagwan Islam Krishna
[37:17] right so bhagwan say Krishna is
[37:22] ma is pursa
[37:25] and brahmanas is effulgence but still
[37:28] it's Krishna so that's why this is go
[37:31] here
[37:32] Yogi meditate on
[37:36] Lord Brahman
[37:38] form
[37:39] it's good here
[37:41] coming to krsna Vishnu itself is but
[37:45] higher than that is this
[37:49] where one is
[37:53] prominently engaging in bhakti
[37:56] and maybe a little bit tinge of Guna
[38:00] and it's
[38:02] it's a supreme most Fortune
[38:05] when we are purely and perfectly engaged
[38:09] in pure devotional service this is good
[38:12] fortune
[38:14] of a soul
[38:16] what is the Good Fortune not coming to
[38:19] America not becoming the engineer and
[38:21] doctor not becoming the Indian not
[38:23] becoming the American not becoming the
[38:25] North Indian South Indian or Asian or
[38:28] African or American none of these are
[38:30] good fortune
[38:32] The Good Fortune is that that somehow or
[38:36] other
[38:39] we have come to this stage where we are
[38:43] trying to perform pure devotional
[38:46] service
[38:47] we have a we have a test we have a
[38:51] Direction
[38:52] at some point I would like to be pure
[38:54] devotee of the Lord
[38:56] okay and that's the extreme Good Fortune
[39:04] because that good fortune will save not
[39:08] only this life
[39:10] or all of our Future's life unless and
[39:12] until this desire of becoming the pure
[39:15] devotee
[39:16] or pure uh
[39:19] servant of the Supreme Lord is fulfilled
[39:21] so this verse is very very loaded please
[39:25] read slap our past perfect and let us
[39:27] discuss if there is anything then after
[39:30] that Krishna talks about
[39:33] the it features
[39:38] unique features
[39:40] of devotional service and see how nicely
[39:43] this works talks about those Raj Vidya
[39:48] Raj goyam
[39:50] pavitram tamam
[39:57] ayam
[40:06] is there
[40:10] right now this Vidya
[40:15] that krsna is going to talk about pure
[40:17] devotional service this is
[40:20] king of all the knowledge my dear
[40:22] devotees so powerful king of all the
[40:25] philosophy
[40:26] Suraj Vidya
[40:30] Vidya wow I like I like that word and
[40:34] not only that it's
[40:37] [Music]
[40:42] Kings of all the secret
[40:47] foreign
[41:06] [Music]
[41:15] so
[41:16] bhakti
[41:19] what is the gun after bhakti can
[41:21] somebody tell
[41:22] what is the Goon Guna of bhakti
[41:29] which Guna bhakti is performed
[41:32] foreign
[41:45] [Music]
[42:03] o Arjun
[42:06] what is the subject of the Veda triguna
[42:11] so either it's talking about
[42:14] ignorance
[42:16] helping people to come from ignorance to
[42:18] Passion helping people to come from
[42:22] Passion to goodness
[42:27] come out of this Guna
[42:30] so uttamam
[42:33] means
[42:36] so bhakti
[42:38] is Beyond Guna
[42:43] so this four
[42:47] words four
[42:50] words four
[42:50] words four silent features of bhakti Raja Vidya
[42:54] please remember
[43:01] it's beyond Guna
[43:04] is purest of All Pure secret of all
[43:07] secret and king of all education
[43:17] foreign
[43:23] means reveals
[43:28] so it directly works with devotee it
[43:33] reveals
[43:36] devotee have their own self-realization
[43:42] it gives direct perception about the
[43:46] Supreme Lord
[43:54] is perfection of all the
[43:57] or religious practices
[44:02] it's Perfection of all the
[44:06] religious practice practices
[44:10] so when devotee says that
[44:12] become krsna conscious your life will be
[44:15] perfected it's not like we are
[44:17] concocting it krsna is saying here
[44:19] it's actually listening here and this is
[44:21] Dharma this is a culmination of all the
[44:24] Dharma
[44:28] come
[44:31] shoe means performer you
[44:35] should come it gives happiness
[44:41] it gives
[44:42] pleasure to the performer
[44:46] okay it gives pleasure
[44:50] to the devotee who are performing
[44:52] enthusiasm
[44:54] love Worship the Lord
[44:57] when we see deity of
[45:01] directly see we perceive
[45:05] you know
[45:08] presence of krsna and balram right there
[45:11] so that perception
[45:15] that self
[45:17] perception
[45:19] of Lord
[45:20] that is cause of happiness
[45:25] that is given to performer
[45:29] who is who is engaging devotional
[45:32] service and Away um
[45:37] he says
[45:39] foreign
[45:55] devotional service that you have
[45:57] performed
[45:58] that will protect you
[46:01] from greatest Danger
[46:09] it is never
[46:11] ever lost so away I'm
[46:16] is a
[46:18] uh in a word that is being that that is
[46:21] being used in Sanskrit grammar also
[46:25] which doesn't change the Rope like Rama
[46:28] Rama Rama you know
[46:31] is the form of the word
[46:34] that is always stays in that form and
[46:37] wherever you use you use with singular
[46:40] or you use with plural
[46:43] it stays as it is doesn't change
[46:47] you know like funny
[46:52] there is nothing
[46:54] like that
[46:56] so bhakti is like that
[46:59] bhakti is
[47:03] whatever devotional service we have
[47:06] performed it's going to last with us
[47:09] so why not to just try to perform your
[47:11] devotional service
[47:13] swastik understanding will help you
[47:16] slowly and slowly lot of conditioning
[47:18] lot of layers
[47:19] slowly and slowly studying these again
[47:22] and again
[47:24] helps one understand what what type of
[47:28] activity we are engaged in we are
[47:31] engaged in performing activity
[47:34] we are engaged in performing
[47:36] that action which is
[47:40] essence of all the Vidya
[47:43] which is secured of all the secrets
[47:46] which is purest of all
[47:48] and which is beyond the Guna
[47:51] which directly help perform or to
[47:54] perceive the Lord
[47:58] its highest of all the Dharma
[48:03] and it gives Everlasting Joy
[48:07] and pleasure
[48:09] and it's never get lost so these are the
[48:13] eight silent characters or features
[48:17] of bhakti
[48:19] that is given here I can tell you for
[48:22] sure this is declared question that we
[48:25] ask you know if you do bhakti sassy exam
[48:27] you must have to ask this question
[48:28] please mention the eight characters of
[48:30] the pure bhakti so I can even tell you
[48:33] that this this question is going to be
[48:34] in that job this we have to ask what are
[48:37] the you know eighth Salon feature
[48:41] of pure devotional service
[48:44] then Krishna says here
[48:47] uh one more thing that I forgot to
[48:50] mention here it says which I had
[48:52] highlighted but didn't say he says but I
[48:54] can tell This Confidential knowledge to
[48:58] you
[48:59] krsna says because you are
[49:01] anushuy away
[49:08] means you are not envious of me
[49:11] okay so Krishna presents one right area
[49:16] here it says that that you can receive
[49:20] this
[49:23] knowledge which have all of these Eight
[49:26] Features because you are not envious of
[49:29] me
[49:30] and then he says
[49:38] foreign
[49:53] sad those who are not faithful
[49:57] foreign
[50:04] process of devotional service
[50:10] they cannot attend me
[50:22] right is the
[50:25] very first step
[50:29] s
[50:36] like that
[50:40] is very
[50:42] uh prerequisite very not right sorry for
[50:47] that I should not use the word
[50:48] prerequisite there is no prerequisite
[50:50] for bhakti
[50:51] no foreign
[51:09] who have bhakti in their heart can give
[51:11] bhakti to somebody that's how that's how
[51:13] bhakti spreads only devotee can give up
[51:16] so
[51:19] those who do not have faith
[51:23] in this
[51:25] process dharmasya
[51:27] what happened
[51:29] they cannot attain me and what happens
[51:31] if they don't attend me
[51:37] that person is caught into the cycle of
[51:40] samsara
[51:45] he is going to have ripped birth and
[51:49] death
[51:51] so
[51:53] two qualification
[51:56] until now
[51:58] Krishna had mentioned what are those two
[52:00] qualifications
[52:01] for one to perform bhakti can somebody
[52:04] share that
[52:08] the normal ways
[52:12] [Music]
[52:14] so please everybody note that point
[52:17] Krishna says here that being
[52:20] non-enviously
[52:26] and
[52:29] having faith in him these are the two
[52:35] qualities needed
[52:41] mom
[52:45] in these four people
[52:47] they are sukritosana
[52:50] they have Pious Deeds I have square it
[52:54] why
[52:55] because they're not envious to me as
[52:58] they have some faith in me
[53:01] okay so Faith so please continue you
[53:04] know understanding these things very
[53:06] clearly
[53:07] and then after that
[53:09] krsna starts talking about his Aishwarya
[53:14] is opulence he says
[53:31] they show
[53:34] very clearly
[53:40] two Tatum Edam
[53:44] sarvam
[53:46] sarvam all of these
[53:50] is
[53:54] pervaded is acting
[53:58] is active
[54:00] because
[54:02] of me
[54:05] we all are active
[54:07] I'm ready to hear you
[54:09] ready to see you
[54:11] you are ready to hear me I'm gonna chew
[54:15] this each and every word you know World
[54:18] verse of this chapter so don't lose
[54:20] patience you also learn how to chew and
[54:22] enjoy and understand the deeper meaning
[54:24] of this this is our life and soul so no
[54:27] rush okay
[54:28] we are doing bhakti shastri so it should
[54:30] somehow other transform your
[54:32] Consciousness towards krsna
[54:34] otherwise knows purpose is not myth
[54:38] right we are changing our devotional
[54:41] devotion it's devotional Exchange
[54:44] now we change our devotion
[54:47] about Supreme Lord
[54:49] and the basic study
[54:54] so
[54:56] he says
[54:59] all of these things are
[55:02] acting
[55:04] because of my present wow
[55:14] and this jagat has
[55:18] manifested
[55:19] and
[55:21] unmanifested
[55:24] butinam
[55:29] right
[55:31] form right
[55:33] right
[55:35] he says
[55:37] a form that is not backed
[55:41] that is not visible
[55:43] the ordinary portion
[55:45] am
[55:51] means I am
[55:54] present
[55:56] in jagad
[55:58] in entire
[56:00] jacket an entire world in the entire
[56:03] universe
[56:05] as
[56:07] unmanifested murti Super Soul
[56:11] matastani Surah bhutani
[56:14] and all of living beings are astani
[56:17] situated
[56:19] or the living being
[56:21] Astan is situated mud inside me
[56:27] all of these living beings are
[56:30] Associated Within Me
[56:33] na chaham
[56:37] but I
[56:40] mean
[56:47] but I am not situated in him he says so
[56:51] see what are the points that Krishna is
[56:53] making here
[56:57] I am present
[56:59] in all the living being
[57:02] or the action that is being performed
[57:05] by all the living beings
[57:08] it's because of my present
[57:11] but how I am
[57:13] presenti naha I am presented in my
[57:16] unmanifested form
[57:18] as a Super Soul
[57:22] all of these living beings are astani
[57:25] Surah bhutani all of these living beings
[57:27] are situated in me
[57:30] but one should not think
[57:32] that since they are situated in me
[57:37] they are like me or I am like them
[57:40] foreign
[57:45] I am not dependent on them
[57:47] rather I am away from them I am
[57:52] segregated from them I am different from
[57:56] them
[57:57] okay so little hard to understand but
[58:01] that's understanding we have to develop
[58:04] you know the how everything is situated
[58:07] in Krishna
[58:08] but still it's not
[58:12] it's not
[58:15] everything is stated in Krishna
[58:18] but
[58:19] krsna is not situated in them that's the
[58:22] point I'm going to make one should not
[58:24] think that krsna has become like me so
[58:30] how powerful this statement is
[58:35] everything that is pervading it's for
[58:38] wedding because of me
[58:43] yoga meshwaram bhut Brin
[58:48] foreign
[58:57] little bit uh
[58:59] creating some confusion or contradiction
[59:02] he says that bhutani
[59:06] yoga ashwaram
[59:15] see my yoga ashwaram
[59:18] see my opulence Mystic opulence
[59:22] what is that uh Mystic opulence
[59:26] that everything
[59:37] means living being and bhakta
[59:41] bharta bhakta Prabhu so green means
[59:46] there
[59:48] uh palan you know their their taking
[59:51] care of them
[59:52] you know I'm maintaining them
[59:54] so
[59:55] see my
[59:57] stic opulence
[01:00:00] all of these living beings
[01:00:02] who are maintained by me
[01:00:10] they are not resting on me resting on me
[01:00:15] means you know uh there is a nice uh
[01:00:20] uh sculptural sculptural
[01:00:24] there is a nice uh you know picture you
[01:00:27] would see that a very strong man he has
[01:00:30] big big you know muscle very healthy
[01:00:33] very strong and he's holding the globe
[01:00:36] on his back
[01:00:38] right
[01:00:39] so one should not think that uh Krishna
[01:00:44] is holding
[01:00:46] so when he says that uh Edam Sharma
[01:00:50] bhutani all of his living beings are
[01:00:53] living inside me then one should not
[01:00:55] think that you know Krishna has such a
[01:00:56] biggest stomach and everybody is living
[01:00:58] in that instrument or maybe he has a you
[01:01:00] know he has a big you know very strong
[01:01:03] sort of body and he's holding the you
[01:01:07] know Globe normally that we see that
[01:01:10] type of understanding is not what being
[01:01:13] recommended hit here bhutani
[01:01:18] it's not like that is
[01:01:22] it is done
[01:01:24] by his Mystic opulence
[01:01:27] always living beings who are maintained
[01:01:35] means the one who has who has created so
[01:01:38] Lord is saying that although in a very
[01:01:41] if you summarize it is saying that all
[01:01:44] of the living beings are inside me or
[01:01:46] Buddha is they are maintained by me
[01:01:49] Buddha they are supported by me means
[01:01:52] supported by me Buddha is maintained by
[01:01:55] me and Buddha is created by me so all
[01:01:58] these living beings are maintained
[01:02:00] supported and created by me but all of
[01:02:05] that is done by
[01:02:07] my yoga ashwaram
[01:02:10] by my Mystic Appliance one should not
[01:02:15] think that that you know I'm holding
[01:02:19] them like you know you hold some heavy
[01:02:21] weight okay it's not like that but this
[01:02:23] is managed by yugam ashwaram by by
[01:02:29] Mystic affluence okay so with that I
[01:02:33] would like to stop and hear from some of
[01:02:36] you before we adjourn
[01:02:40] so what did we learn can we summarize
[01:02:42] some of the points that we learned today
[01:02:47] let's hear from those who have not
[01:02:48] spoken so far so what are some of the
[01:02:50] things that we learned today
[01:02:55] so how this knowledge is the most
[01:02:58] confidential knowledge Krishna is
[01:03:00] explaining in this uh in this verses and
[01:03:03] as well as how if one is not devotional
[01:03:08] to Krishna or no faith or envious
[01:03:11] towards to him and we cannot understand
[01:03:13] that is one more point take away so one
[01:03:16] question here producer have uh this is
[01:03:19] uh basically asked by a kid who to whom
[01:03:22] I I was helping um to learn the
[01:03:24] bhagavad-gita slokas so this chapter
[01:03:27] right more confidential knowledge
[01:03:29] Krishna is explaining and it is uh
[01:03:32] everything is there it is visibly
[01:03:34] everybody can see it right but at the
[01:03:38] same time it is it is mentioned as a
[01:03:40] confidential knowledge
[01:03:42] uh right so why it is so like that uh
[01:03:46] that is the question so easily I will
[01:03:49] give an example that uh the rocket
[01:03:51] science is available publicly but nobody
[01:03:54] could understand it unless they study
[01:03:56] and uh and
[01:03:57] um in the proper channel so here also
[01:03:59] same thing unless we go to a guru and
[01:04:03] um
[01:04:03] um the proper systematic way to study
[01:04:06] and understand Krishna unless Krishna
[01:04:08] gives that intelligence we cannot
[01:04:10] understand it this knowledge so can you
[01:04:12] please elaborate our requirement
[01:04:14] I think you gave the answer okay
[01:04:18] you gave the answer I was hearing your
[01:04:21] question and I think what I'm going to
[01:04:23] say is uh right there in your question
[01:04:27] the answer is there right
[01:04:33] so we see
[01:04:35] still we don't see
[01:04:40] and uh
[01:04:42] why
[01:04:44] is
[01:04:47] the desire to
[01:04:49] hoga
[01:04:51] you know I want to enjoy
[01:04:56] Astoria people should know I'm somebody
[01:05:01] attached to it
[01:05:04] so
[01:05:08] this uh desire
[01:05:11] an attachment
[01:05:14] makes one blind
[01:05:17] and
[01:05:19] they would not have
[01:05:22] it's nice saying
[01:05:25] one should not be non-envious and one
[01:05:28] should have faith so when there is
[01:05:32] this type of things are there
[01:05:34] then it makes people envious why Krishna
[01:05:38] has 16 108 Queens
[01:05:42] one one problem you have
[01:05:45] right so there is envy
[01:05:47] you know why Krishna why not XYZ
[01:05:53] you know
[01:05:54] does x y z say that uh
[01:06:00] you believe in it
[01:06:02] because
[01:06:04] you know at some point you have none
[01:06:07] envious
[01:06:08] and some degree of faith
[01:06:10] towards Krishna
[01:06:13] and that's one that's higher level of
[01:06:16] understanding
[01:06:17] the
[01:06:19] another
[01:06:21] way we can see
[01:06:23] not everybody
[01:06:25] uh is exposed to this knowledge also
[01:06:30] so ignorance is the Bliss
[01:06:33] you know I have been busy studying
[01:06:36] science technology engineering and math
[01:06:39] and I never got chance to study Bible
[01:06:41] the systematically so although I can
[01:06:44] have faith but I never studied that's
[01:06:47] why I'm away from it
[01:06:49] right
[01:06:50] that could be also you know a reason
[01:06:55] and another understanding would be that
[01:07:00] uh I'm not even ready to
[01:07:03] take anything like that right now my
[01:07:05] priority is different
[01:07:07] you know my priority right now is to
[01:07:09] make money
[01:07:11] or help my family or stabilize in my job
[01:07:14] or get situated then I'll think about so
[01:07:17] there are multiple you know
[01:07:19] kind of
[01:07:21] uh concentric circles you know
[01:07:25] and different different distance very
[01:07:28] different different way one can see that
[01:07:32] so
[01:07:35] if one has a desire
[01:07:39] to know
[01:07:41] then they can they can know like all of
[01:07:43] us
[01:07:44] I mean none of us if I make assumption
[01:07:48] none of us were born in a you know
[01:07:49] devotee family
[01:07:51] not from our childhood we're a spoon
[01:07:53] feed about bhagavad-gita but at some
[01:07:56] point we were seeking something and when
[01:07:58] somebody said they started making sense
[01:07:59] to us then we are following it
[01:08:02] so there was time when we were looking
[01:08:04] for it
[01:08:06] and we came to this answer
[01:08:09] so there are multiple you know way
[01:08:12] you can uh
[01:08:14] look at it
[01:08:16] but I personally think
[01:08:19] is
[01:08:22] the topmost reason
[01:08:24] for even people who are reading it
[01:08:27] studying it
[01:08:28] but they don't have understanding that
[01:08:32] this is the most confidential knowledge
[01:08:33] because they are they have some other
[01:08:37] ulterior motivation
[01:08:39] and that motivation could be in the form
[01:08:42] of
[01:08:43] they are tied up with some belief
[01:08:45] like I was talking to one of the uh
[01:08:50] person
[01:08:51] and he said talks about Gyan he says he
[01:08:55] said
[01:08:56] he says that you know it's talking about
[01:08:58] Ghana is the highest most
[01:09:01] subject
[01:09:02] he didn't see that Krishna is talking
[01:09:04] about bhakti and he is sanskrit acharya
[01:09:07] very learned in Sanskrit
[01:09:10] and he was in there I just heard I said
[01:09:12] I'll I can just respect what you think
[01:09:16] but you know I would pray Krishna to
[01:09:19] help you maybe get at the higher
[01:09:21] understanding there are multiple factors
[01:09:23] as I see but let's hear from other
[01:09:27] devotee what they think
[01:09:34] um
[01:09:37] probably as you only said we are clouded
[01:09:41] with our Indus misunderstanding of
[01:09:42] ignorance uh the modes so desires so our
[01:09:48] own clouds
[01:09:50] of Illusion uh
[01:09:54] basically as you said you know our own
[01:09:57] desires brings in those clouds which
[01:09:59] prevents us from seeing
[01:10:01] things as they are
[01:10:03] [Music]
[01:10:05] so that is nice I mean it is today only
[01:10:07] that I am seeing the difference between
[01:10:09] chapter 7 and chapter nine so these are
[01:10:12] the clouds which go away
[01:10:14] um as we
[01:10:16] are exposed the other thing which one of
[01:10:19] the to answer that kid question is that
[01:10:24] uh you know
[01:10:25] the password to bhagavad-gita is bhakti
[01:10:28] so if you put that password in then it
[01:10:33] unlocks itself right
[01:10:38] angry
[01:10:41] totally agree
[01:10:43] without
[01:10:45] devotion some degree of devotion
[01:10:48] we cannot you know really understand it
[01:10:51] that's right
[01:10:53] what else anybody else has anything else
[01:10:55] that they would like to share
[01:10:58] and sure uh you know Prabhu also has his
[01:11:02] own understanding so I'm sure he would
[01:11:04] have answered it
[01:11:06] but we wanted to a little bit see the
[01:11:09] different perspective
[01:11:11] so mataji do you have anything
[01:11:19] approval yeah
[01:11:23] uh I just want to add one point
[01:11:26] sometimes again in science get too
[01:11:32] confused for a modern day person person
[01:11:34] who thinks like you know being PhD is a
[01:11:37] gunny yeah and uh then they don't
[01:11:41] understand the they they are like you
[01:11:44] know so much of contamination uh takes
[01:11:47] place that new uh again actual again
[01:11:51] doesn't get in so unless and until we
[01:11:55] make room for
[01:11:56] um you know to perceive those gun it
[01:12:00] it's difficult so even though they are
[01:12:03] they know they can read
[01:12:06] but they will just have a word meaning
[01:12:10] not the real you know the real
[01:12:14] understanding of what uh means
[01:12:18] very good point recently somebody was
[01:12:21] telling me Oh being PhD you think you
[01:12:23] believe in this thing you're saying
[01:12:25] your scientists to believe in this thing
[01:12:28] it says you know this is
[01:12:31] beyond the science science cannot even
[01:12:34] help you understand there
[01:12:35] a good point good point Sometimes some
[01:12:38] degree of opulence could be hindrance
[01:12:40] also
[01:12:42] yeah poverty sometimes is better than
[01:12:44] being rich
[01:12:54] yes
[01:13:02] and hear from
[01:13:03] you what you have some advice
[01:13:13] it says
[01:13:16] daughters and Provost name there
[01:13:23] I like the way you summarize like
[01:13:26] everybody said that makes us like you
[01:13:28] know able to connect to the various
[01:13:30] chapters and gives us like it lays the
[01:13:33] foundation you know for understanding
[01:13:35] this chapter
[01:13:36] um like
[01:13:38] uh about this most confidential
[01:13:40] knowledge bro I like I mean I think
[01:13:44] um in the first verse what Krishna tells
[01:13:47] is like because Arjuna is not envious of
[01:13:50] that is the only mood that we can
[01:13:53] understand right the real essence you
[01:13:56] know so
[01:13:57] um
[01:13:58] I think that
[01:14:01] so yes good point yes
[01:14:04] already saying you know that you know
[01:14:07] you have to be non-envious to understand
[01:14:09] this yes
[01:14:11] yes agree thank you mataji yeah do you
[01:14:15] have anything else
[01:14:16] I want to share from India yes
[01:14:23] and Faith one of our faith will
[01:14:25] understand the real knowledge
[01:14:28] yes
[01:14:31] Faith so that has to be there so
[01:14:35] yes Faith so that has to be there so
[01:14:35] these are the answer Divya Mata do you
[01:14:38] have anything
[01:14:40] no praguchi
[01:14:44] thank you mataji I see there is uh
[01:14:48] two uh names by the same person
[01:14:52] so basketball what realization you have
[01:15:00] hey
[01:15:02] the the
[01:15:04] I I still have a doubt about that uh I
[01:15:08] don't know why krsna mentioned because
[01:15:10] this this knowledge he he told in like
[01:15:14] you know different chapters but why he
[01:15:16] is telling like this most confidential
[01:15:18] knowledge
[01:15:20] that that part which I didn't understand
[01:15:23] it because bhakti bhakti is the most
[01:15:25] confidential knowledge that's how we
[01:15:28] have to take it
[01:15:30] so bhakti the knowledge of kevale bhakti
[01:15:33] you are an aloeia devotional service is
[01:15:36] the most confidential knowledge that's
[01:15:37] what Krishna is saying so that's how we
[01:15:39] have to take it
[01:15:41] whatever Krishna says is the Dharma
[01:15:46] okay yes so and our acharyas also have
[01:15:51] you know explained and given the
[01:15:52] commentary that uh
[01:15:55] uh mosque bhakti is the most
[01:15:57] confidential knowledge
[01:16:00] I just stated by Krishna
[01:16:03] okay
[01:16:07] and that's why we talked about uh
[01:16:09] the subject of first six chapter
[01:16:12] and subject of seventh and eighth
[01:16:14] chapter and then uh we talked about
[01:16:18] ninth chapter
[01:16:20] and this is given a business
[01:16:23] is saying that this chapter
[01:16:26] the most confidential knowledge
[01:16:28] and Krishna is also saying that business
[01:16:30] gives his comment free and the flow that
[01:16:33] you saw
[01:16:35] that sixth surprise
[01:16:44] because uh
[01:16:50] they can understand they can see
[01:16:56] they have empowerment
[01:17:02] plus Christian is also saying in the
[01:17:04] verse
[01:17:07] okay
[01:17:10] Santa mataji do you have something on
[01:17:12] that particular question that you want
[01:17:14] to share
[01:17:25] was asking one question and everybody is
[01:17:28] trying to share their understanding so
[01:17:30] did you hear the question mataji
[01:17:37] yes
[01:17:41] he was asking bro can you repeat for
[01:17:44] mataji
[01:17:45] um
[01:17:45] so the kid was asking so is the the
[01:17:49] chapter is titled as most confidential
[01:17:52] knowledge so it is available to everyone
[01:17:54] everybody can read it right and see it
[01:17:57] but at the same time why it is so
[01:18:00] confidential when it is everybody can
[01:18:01] see and read it why it is so
[01:18:04] confidential it's not secret right
[01:18:08] this but it was
[01:18:11] yeah according to my understanding is so
[01:18:13] it's all open Secrets
[01:18:16] like uh
[01:18:19] whatever it may be uh how how many maybe
[01:18:24] so everyone may tell but it should be
[01:18:28] understandable right uh
[01:18:31] understandable and implementable so
[01:18:33] maybe that's where I feel like that is
[01:18:35] the secret because maybe you know but
[01:18:38] you don't know
[01:18:40] same suppose
[01:18:42] you tell one statement
[01:18:45] if you know about that completely then
[01:18:47] you will say you'll know
[01:18:49] yeah right yes but uh here maybe we are
[01:18:53] saying it how many people says maybe how
[01:18:56] much you understood
[01:18:58] still I'll say maybe hey what is it
[01:19:00] means whenever we are asking what does
[01:19:02] it means you don't know so that's where
[01:19:04] it is a secret
[01:19:06] that's what my understanding yes you
[01:19:10] know everybody knows that don't
[01:19:11] overspeed but still you over speed
[01:19:14] so if you have our speed that means you
[01:19:16] are disobeying the rule
[01:19:19] and you are acting that you don't know
[01:19:21] the rule so yes
[01:19:25] so just by reading one would not
[01:19:27] understand the deeper intent
[01:19:30] rather they have to have
[01:19:33] non-enviousness and have to have shradha
[01:19:38] so
[01:19:40] you understand it
[01:19:42] and if they don't have it then it's
[01:19:45] never going to reveal
[01:19:47] nice nice discussion thank you so much
[01:19:49] everybody so I would like to conclude
[01:19:52] here once again
[01:19:59] I'll see you all next Saturday at 11
[01:20:01] o'clock to everybody thank you so much
