Abhidheya means that is the transaction. So in this life, while we are in the material world, so we have our material body. So this devotional service, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, doing everything in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, this is just like, what is called, apprenticeship to reach that highest stage.
The same thing will be there in your liberated stage in the spiritual kingdom. But here, by the order of the śāstra, by the guidance of the spiritual master, you are being trained up as apprentice. This is called abhidheya, abhidheya, practice. Practice. But even in practice you will feel that, "I am making progress." It is such a thing. 'Abhidheya' bali' tāre sarva-śāstre gāya. And:
- dhana pāile yaiche sukha-bhoga phala pāya
- sukha-bhoga haite duḥkha āpani palāya
- (CC Madhya 20.140)
- taiche bhakti-phale kṛṣṇe prema upajaya
- prema kṛṣṇāsvāda haile bhava nāśa pāya
- (CC Madhya 20.141)
Very important passage. Just note it with carefully. Now, by apprenticeship, by practice, if one sincerely follows this practice, then what is the result? That dhana pāile yaiche sukha-bhoga phala pāya. Just like a poor man, if he gets sufficient money, then at once his all distress is over. At once, immediately.
Simultaneously, as soon as the sun is in the sky, at once the darkness is gone. Just in the morning, a little, not sun directly, but even there is sunshine far away, immediately the darkness goes away. I am in distress; I am in poverty-stricken. Suppose I get immediately some large amount of money. Immediately my distress gone.
So exactly like that, dhana pāile yaiche sukha-bhoga phala pāya, then automatically he becomes happy, a poor man when he gets money, similarly, as soon as we have little taste of this devotional service, at once all our miserable life becomes happy. At once. Yes. Sukha-bhoga haite duḥkha āpani palāya. And if there is happiness, where is the question of misery? If there is light, where there is question of darkness?
So a person in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he cannot be in distress of material miseries. It goes automatically. Automatically. Taiche bhakti-phale kṛṣṇe prema upajaya. Similarly, by execution of this devotional service, gradually you develop love of God. Love of God. And preme kṛṣṇāsvāda haile bhava nāśa . . . and as soon as you get a taste for Kṛṣṇa, you at once lose all this nonsense taste, culminating into sex life.
The material taste means we want to gratify senses in so many ways, and the supermost point is sex life. So as soon as you get into touch with Kṛṣṇa and you develop Kṛṣṇa love, all this nonsense finished. Then you are liberated. And so long you are attached even to a pinch of material taste, there is no question of liberation from material miseries; you have to continue this transmigration from one body to another, and body means material miseries.
