MAN WOMAN INTERACTION LECTURE #7 Eger, Hungary https://usercontent.one/wp/bhaktividyapurnaswami.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/20070803_1_BVPS_Eger_Hungary.mp3 HH BVPS Maharaja: So we'll begin with these questions on the varnashrama. So it opens with... Written question: Problem nowadays, how to realize Daivi-varnashrama? HH BVPS Maharaja: It's a matter of understanding. Only if you understand then you can actually apply. First
It is true, we just chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, but what does that mean? How do we apply that as a conditioned soul? That we have to understand. We do chant, that is our main focus, yes. But since we are not satisfied with that, therefore there are other processes.
The whole mood of the vrata is that it’s about Kṛṣṇa, but here it’s just all about their inconvenience of fasting. So better they not fast. They will get more spiritual benefit.
Just as you can overeat, oversleep, overindulge in sex, you can overindulge in fearing. So conspiracy theories are overindulgence in fear.
Of all the senses, the most important is the speech. If the speech is engaged properly, then we will see, all the other senses we can bring into line. We can control what we speak about, the intelligence is controlled, so we can bring everything into line.
Forget doesn’t mean you are stupid. It doesn’t mean that if any symptoms come up of their previous behavior that wasn’t correct, you are not at that point not defending against it. It doesn’t mean you are just open and trust and therefore you get run over.
The unfailing recipe of success
If it is connected to Krishna, it is spiritual. It is not connected to Kṛṣṇa - it is material, that's all. But the form between the two is the same. That must be understood, otherwise relationships cannot be understood.
