So unless one becomes detestful of this material world, it is to be understood that he has not yet entered in the spiritual understanding. Bhaktiḥ pareśānubhavo viraktir anyatra syāt [SB 11.2.42]. This is the test of bhakti. If one has entered the domain of devotional service, this material world will be not at all tasteful for him. Virakti. No more.
[…] Āra nāre bapa (?). The Jagāi-Mādhāi, too much materialistic, woman-hunters, drunkard, meat-eater… So these things have become now common affairs. But it is very, very fearful for the devotees. Therefore we say, “No intoxication; no illicit sex; no meat-eating.” It is very very fearful. But they do not know. Mūḍhaḥ nābhijānāti. They do not know it. They indulge in. The whole world is going on on this platform. He does not know that he is creating a very, very fierceful situation by indulging in these sinful activities.
To understand God, to understand Kṛṣṇa, is not very easy job; very, very difficult job. Therefore we don’t find anyone is interested in Kṛṣṇa. Anywhere you go, all over the world, you make a statistic: nobody is interested in Kṛṣṇa. Is it not a fact? Out of millions. Kṛṣṇa says, manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu, “Out of millions…” That’s a fact. Nobody is interested in Kṛṣṇa. Manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu. So therefore, to understand Kṛṣṇa is not very easy job. But by the grace of Kṛṣṇa You can understand Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is explaining Himself. That is Kṛṣṇa, great. You take. And again Kṛṣṇa is coming as Caitanya Mahāprabhu to show us the way how to understand Kṛṣṇa. Caitanya Mahāprabhu means Kṛṣṇa Himself, present to teach us how to understand Kṛṣṇa. So Kṛṣṇa is so kind: He is coming Himself. He’s teaching Bhagavad-gītā. Again He is coming as Caitanya Mahāprabhu, as devotee, to become a devotee of Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa-prema-pradāya te [Madhya 19.53] He’s not only teaching Kṛṣṇa but love of Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa, when He personally came, He did not teach how to love Him. He simply asked, “You rascal, surrender to Me.” That’s all. “You are all rascals. You have forgotten Me. I am the Supreme. You are searching after so many wrong things. You have created so many so-called occupational and religious duties, but these are all useless.” That much. But again Kṛṣṇa came to teach people how to love Kṛṣṇa. Therefore Rūpa Gosvāmī offers his respect to Caitanya Mahāprabhu, namo mahā-vadanyāya kṛṣṇa-prema-pradāya te: [Madhya 19.53] “You are not only giving Kṛṣṇa but giving love of Kṛṣṇa.” That is very rare thing. Prema pumārtho mahān. People are after dharma, after kāma, mokṣa, but Caitanya Mahāprabhu says, “No, above this, there is fifth perfection. That is prema, Kṛṣṇa-prema.” Prema pumārtho mahān.
So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is the topmost education, culture. Those who have come to Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, they should seriously take it and try to understand Kṛṣṇa. Their life will be successful.
Thank you very much. (end)

pamho agtACBSP,
JAHNU SAPTAMI KI JAI
Wow is not everywhere that we can listen such wonderful class straight away from the transcendental vibration of SRI SRI GURU GAURANGA lotus mouth,thank you for posting this special lecture by HDG ACBSP. The picture above of the deity also is a proper one only for pure devotees, it’s true what SRILA PRABHUPADA said here, akuto bhayam, they are getting plenty of fear by keeping to be sinful but they haven’t got enough brain to understand that they need to give up krsna property because they have not power at all to control the three guna of the material nature.
Lose everything with a mashed ego including the own freedom is not a wise idea better to surrender, as SRILA PRABHUPADA mentions several times through HIS not ordinary conferences, so many fake devotees coming from bogus gurus are more dangerous then the karmi, they can’t catch the namo maha vadanyaya krsna prema pradaya-te because they are mada intoxicated by their mental concoction philosophy which is in the opposite site of what SRILA PRABHUPADA clearly explains here in this wonderful article.
This means trapped, I mean although there so many sastric evidences by SRI KRSNA and SRI GAURANGA their dull brains keeps going in the wrong direction,for example I visited some website of these guru hoaxers wretches for a little while months ago and I could not believe how much rubbish was going on there by making propaganda that one have to offer respect to SRILA PRABHUPADA as siksa guru and full respect to the diksa guru by not disrespecting the siksa guru, this is mada craziness their tiny brains can’t understand that SRILA PRABHUPADA is both of them, like HDG JESUS CHRIST HE had nothing to do with san paul san marc etc..
I mean all these deviants kangoorus used to be lower than candalas, dog eaters in quality before they came in contact with a saktya avesa avatara and now that they got the way out they are getting more trapped because they want to be SRILA PRABHUPADA without any qualification in understanding the own svaupa murti spiritual body. SRILA PRABHUPADA used to say that the pukka guru must be a liberated soul, it doesn’t matter if come straight away from the paravyoma spiritual sky or if he become liberated in mrityu loka, but the guru must be a liberated soul mukta purusa maha purusa by knowing the own spiritual identity otherwise is just another living dead who is pass through the troublesome journey in the material world until he gets fully understanding about the real guru tattva.
Don’t share your spiritual sentiments with all these unqualified betrayers here is the real guru tattva who speak the truth straight away without any misunderstanding by giving us the real nectar we are waiting in for from ages. Don’t waste your time by supporting all these polluted guru hoaxers because you will share also the suffering coming from their sins against the transcendental institution of SRILA PRABHUPADA. It’s a serious offence to SRILA PRABHUPADA to support all these deviants, so be safe only with SRILA PRABHUPADA
