1974 Conversations and Morning Walks

Dr. Patel: Especially spontaneously you feel some light . . .

Prabhupāda: That's all right, Brahman light. But the Brahman light, according to Bhāgavata philosophy, even one enters in the Brahman effulgence, still he falls down. Still he falls down. Arūhya kṛcchreṇa paraṁ padaṁ tataḥ patanty adhaḥ anādhṛta-yusmad-aṅghrayaḥ (SB 10.2.32). Unless one is fixed up in the personal form of the Lord, there is chance of falling down. They fall down actually. We have seen so many sannyāsīs. Just like at the present moment, Korpatali(?). He's now busy in politics.

Prabhupāda: . . . varṇa. That is . . . āditya-varṇa means self-effulgent. Yasya prabhā prabhavato jagad-aṇḍa-koṭi (Bs. 5.40). That is āditya-varṇa. Āditya is never in darkness.

Chandobhai: Prayāṇa-kāle manasācalena . . .

Dr. Patel: Prayāṇa-kāle manasācalena. Acalena.

Prabhupāda: Again . . . acalena. Acalena means he has been practiced to fix his mind to Kṛṣṇa. Then, if he's successful, the prayāṇa-kāle, he must remember.

Chandobhai: Yes, yes. Here. Bhaktyā yukto yoga-balena caiva.

Prabhupāda: Yoga. Bhaktya. That is the bhakti-yoga. Not otherwise.

Chandobhai: Bhruvor madhye prāṇam āveśya samyak (BG 8.10).

Prabhupāda: Ah. (aside) Hare Kṛṣṇa. (break) . . . they meditate all the life, the so-called yogīs. Something impersonal . . . Some light, like this, like that. Light may be also, if that Brahman light. But here it is specifically mentioned . . .

Dr. Patel: Especially spontaneously you feel some light . . .

Prabhupāda: That's all right, Brahman light. But the Brahman light, according to Bhāgavata philosophy, even one enters in the Brahman effulgence, still he falls down. Still he falls down. Arūhya kṛcchreṇa paraṁ padaṁ tataḥ patanty adhaḥ anādhṛta-yusmad-aṅghrayaḥ (SB 10.2.32). Unless one is fixed up in the personal form of the Lord, there is chance of falling down. They fall down actually. We have seen so many sannyāsīs. Just like at the present moment, Korpatali(?). He's now busy in politics.

Dr. Patel: One man married in America, some sannyāsī.

Chandobhai: Citrabhanu, Citrabhanu.
