Lectures

Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Rūpa Gosvāmī says one who has control over all this pushing machine, he can become spiritual master. Not that spiritual master is manufactured. One has to learn this, how to check the pushing of these things. Etān vegān yo viṣaheta dhīraḥ (NOI 1). One who can control over these pushing and remains dhīraḥ, steady, pṛthivīṁ sa śiṣyāt: he can make disciples all over the world. Open. Yes. So everything depends on training. That is yoga system. Yoga means . . . the whole yoga system means training—our senses, our mind, our this, that, so many things—then we are fixed up in the self. Do you think that simply by fifteen minutes' meditation we realize? And do all nonsense all the day? No. It requires training. You are going to solve the problems of life, you want to do it very cheap? No. Then you'll be cheated. You have to pay for it. If you want the nicest thing, then you have to pay for it.

He says there are six impetus, pushing, vegam. Pushing. Vegam, you can understand: just like you are called by nature, you have to go to the toilet room. You cannot check; you have to answer. That is called vegam, pushing. So there are six vegam, pushing. What is that? Vāco vegam: vegam, pushing of talking, unnecessarily talking. That is called pushing of the talks. Krodha-vegam: There is sometimes pushing of the anger. If I am very much angry, I cannot check myself; I do something which I ought not to do. Sometimes in anger kills his own men. This is called vegam, pushing. So pushing of the talking, pushing of the anger.

Similarly, pushing of the mind. Mind dictates, "You must go at once there." Immediately. Pushing of the talking, pushing of the mind, pushing of the anger. Then jihvā-vegam. Jihvā-vegam means tongue. I want to taste such nice thing, some sweetballs or something else which I like very much. So one has to control this. One has to control his talking unnecessarily. One has to control his mind, dictation of mind. The yoga practice only on the mind.

But our Kṛṣṇa conscious practice . . . except mind, there are so many other things, just like anger, tongue, then jihvā-vegam, then udara-vegam. From tongue come little down. Udara means belly. The belly is already filled up; still I want to fill it more. That is called vegam, pushing of the belly. And when there are so much pushing of the tongue and pushing of the belly, the next underneath the genital, there is force of the genital. Then I require some sex. If I eat more, if I use my tongue unnecessarily, if I allow my mind to do anything and everything, then I cannot check my genital also. There will be sex urge which I cannot check. In this way there are so many pushings.

Rūpa Gosvāmī says one who has control over all this pushing machine, he can become spiritual master. Not that spiritual master is manufactured. One has to learn this, how to check the pushing of these things. Etān vegān yo viṣaheta dhīraḥ (NOI 1). One who can control over these pushing and remains dhīraḥ, steady, pṛthivīṁ sa śiṣyāt: he can make disciples all over the world. Open. Yes.

So everything depends on training. That is yoga system. Yoga means . . . the whole yoga system means training—our senses, our mind, our this, that, so many things—then we are fixed up in the self. Do you think that simply by fifteen minutes' meditation we realize? And do all nonsense all the day? No. It requires training. You are going to solve the problems of life, you want to do it very cheap? No. Then you'll be cheated. You have to pay for it. If you want the nicest thing, then you have to pay for it.
