Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Anāryan civilization means bodily concept of life, and Āryan civilization means spiritual concept of life, how to make spiritually advancement. That is real civilization. Those who are compact in the thought of bodily comforts of life, they are all anāryas, and that is now deprecated, nānuśocitum arhasi: "Don't lament on these immaterial things."

Your problem is how to be reestablished again as eternal. Because we are eternal. Some way or other, we have fallen in this material world. Therefore, we have to accept birth and death. So our problem is how to again be eternal. That is amṛtatva.

But these rascals, they do not know that there is possibility of becoming eternal. Simply by trying to understand Kṛṣṇa, one can become immortal. Janma karma me divyaṁ yo jānāti tattvataḥ (BG 4.9). Simply try to understand Kṛṣṇa, what is Kṛṣṇa. Then tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti: simply by understanding Kṛṣṇa, even you don't serve Kṛṣṇa. If you serve, then you are already liberated. If you simply philosophically try to understand the position of Kṛṣṇa. But no, the mūḍhas, the rascals, they will say: "We accept Kṛṣṇa as a great man. We don't accept Kṛṣṇa as God." The Ārya-samājīs say. All right, if you accept a great man, great personality, why don't you accept His teaching, huh? Then what kind of accepting a great personality? If you actually accept Kṛṣṇa as a great personality, at least you must follow the instruction of Kṛṣṇa and no, that also they'll not do.

And still they are Ārya-samāj. Ārya means advancing party. They are degrading party. Real advancing party is Kṛṣṇa conscious person, the devotees of Kṛṣṇa. They're Āryan. Just like Arjuna, when he was trying to neglect the instruction of Kṛṣṇa, "Sir, I'll not fight," He said, anārya-juṣṭam (BG 2.2). Anyone who disobeys the instruction of Kṛṣṇa, he's anārya. And one who obeys the instruction of Kṛṣṇa, he's āryan. That is the distinction. Therefore, the so-called Ārya-samāj, they disobey the instruction of Kṛṣṇa, and still they claim to be āryan. Actually they are anāryan. Anārya-juṣṭam. These things are in the Bhagavad-gītā.

So nānuśocitum arhasi. Kṛṣṇa has here said: "You are eternal. Your business is how to achieve that eternal position, and, so far the body is concerned, antavanta ime dehāḥ (BG 2.18), this is in . . . this is destructible. So you should not be very much serious about this body." This is the distinction between the Vedic civilization, Āryan civilization. Vedic civilization means Āryan. And anāryan civilization.

Anāryan civilization means bodily concept of life, and Āryan civilization means spiritual concept of life, how to make spiritually advancement. That is real civilization. Those who are compact in the thought of bodily comforts of life, they are all anāryas, and that is now deprecated, nānuśocitum arhasi: "Don't lament on these immaterial things."
