    Bhagavad-gītā 9.

    20–22
    Date: Dec. 7, 1966
    Location: New York

    · The first He has described about the mahātmā—mahātmā, the


    great soul. satataṁ kīrtayanto mām .They are engaged twenty-four
    hours, cent percent, in the transcendental loving service of the
    Lord.
    · yatantaś ca dṛḍha-vratāḥ, and trying to serve the Lord very
    carefully, with vow.
    · ultimate goal is to know Kṛṣṇa, or the Supreme Lord.
    · Surendra-lokam means where the demigods live. They are also
    human being, but they are highly intellectual, and their duration of
    life is very long, and their standard of living is very high, most
    costly. We cannot imagine even.
    · Soma-pāḥ is a kind of beverage, just like in this material world we
    have got different kinds of liquors.
    · One who will drink the soma-rasa, he will be freed from sinful
    reaction. Just the opposite.

    · Here, just like when we become intoxicated, we become addicted


    to so many sinful actions, it is soma-pāḥ. When we drink soma-
    rasa, it is just the opposite.

    · There are three kinds of knowledge in the Vedas, trai-vidyā:


    karma-kāṇḍa, upāsanā-kāṇḍa and jñāna-kāṇḍa. Karma-
    kāṇḍa means this how we can adjust material happiness or
    material living very nice. That is called karma-kāṇḍa. And
    then upāsanā-kāṇḍa. Upāsanā-kāṇḍa means how to worship the
    Supreme Lord or the demigod or different types of... There are
    demigods. Jñāna-kāṇḍa means knowledge, philosophical.
    · So the higher-grade life and lower-grade life means those who are
    proportionately greater sinful, they have got lower-grade life, and
    those who have got greater pious life, they get higher-grade life in
    higher planets, in Brahmaloka, Janaloka, Tapoloka.

    · In Tapoloka, when there is destruction, annihilation of this material


    world, in the Tapoloka there is no destruction.

    · The idea of going there is the materialist, they are always seeking
    of better comforts of life.

    · Variyāgasan means that the goats, the goats, the goat merchant,
    they are taking to the slaughterhouse, and they are going hither
    and thither. But if one goat enters the door, all the variyas, they
    will enter. You see? So because one has entered... But nobody will
    consider that he has entered the slaughterhouse. No. "One has
    entered; therefore let us enter all." This is advancement. "Oh, one
    has entered, therefore I must enter also. I do not care where I am
    entering. That I do not know." So this is going on, gatāgatam.

    · transcendentalist, they have understood that "This sense


    gratification process will not help me." This is called Kṛṣṇa
    consciousness. One must understand perfectly well that this
    process of sense gratification, variyāgasan, that will not help me.
    He is very intelligent.

    · So long I have got a pinch of desire for sense gratification, I will


    have to take this material body. And as soon as I have got this
    material body, then all the material miseries are along with it.

    · those who want to have perfect knowledge, those who want to


    have blissful life, they understand that "This material existence,
    either this Svargaloka or the heavenly planet or this planet or that,
    will never give me happiness. I will have to... As Kṛṣṇa informs
    herein, that yad gatvā na nivartante tad dhāma paramaṁ
    mama [Bg 15.6],
    · I will have to enter the kingdom of God, spiritual planet, where
    going I will have not to return back again to accept this material
    body." That seriousness, one who has taken that serious attitude,
    they can actually perform this Kṛṣṇa consciousness very nicely.

    · here the assurance is from the Lord that "Those who are
    unflinching and cent percent devoted in the transcendental service
    of Me, for them I take charge of the maintenance, all comforts."
    Nityābhiyuktānāṁ yoga-kṣemaṁ vahāmy aham.
