Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

If you are actually situated in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, under the shelter of Kṛṣṇa's lotus feet, then guruṇāpi duḥkhena, very heaviest type of danger may be before me, I shall not be disturbed. Or anyone who has taken the shelter like that, he will never be disturbed. He will never be disturbed. Taṁ vidyād duḥkha-saṁyoga-viyogaṁ yoga-saṁjñitam (BG 6.23). Sa niścayena yoktavyo, yogo 'nirviṇṇa-cetasā (BG 6.24).

So one who has taken shelter there, for him this great ocean of nescience is just like the water containing on the impression of calf leg. Of course, you have no experience. In India I have got experience, because these calfs and cows, they go on the pasturing ground, and in rainy season their hoofs makes holes, and in that hole there are some water. So that water . . . this great ocean is compared like that water. So nobody has any difficulty to cross it.

So bhavāmbudhir vatsa-padaṁ paraṁ padam: "And for them, those who have taken shelter of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, for them is waiting paraṁ padam, the supreme abode." Padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadāṁ na teṣām: "This place, wherein every step there is danger, this place is unfit for them." Padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadāṁ na teṣām. It is very nice. So yasmin sthito na duḥkhena guruṇāpi vicālyate (BG 6.22).

If you are actually situated in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, under the shelter of Kṛṣṇa's lotus feet, then guruṇāpi duḥkhena, very heaviest type of danger may be before me, I shall not be disturbed. Or anyone who has taken the shelter like that, he will never be disturbed. He will never be disturbed. Taṁ vidyād duḥkha-saṁyoga-viyogaṁ yoga-saṁjñitam (BG 6.23). Sa niścayena yoktavyo, yogo 'nirviṇṇa-cetasā (BG 6.24).

Taṁ vidyā. Taṁ vidyād duḥkha-saṁyoga-viyogaṁ yoga-saṁjñitam. Now, this understanding of miseries or happiness can be appreciated by the yoga process. Therefore yoga process is so important.

sa niścayena yoktavyo
yogo 'nirviṇṇa-cetasā
saṅkalpa-prabhavān kāmāṁs
tyaktvā sarvān aśeṣataḥ
manasaivendriya-grāmaṁ
viniyamya samantataḥ
(BG 6.24)

So this yoga process is . . . because we are being entangled in this material world due to these uncontrolled senses. So the whole process of yoga indriya-saṁyama: we have to control the senses and turn our face toward that actual spiritual happiness. Then our life will be successful. Manasaivendriya-grāmaṁ viniyamya. Mind and the indriya-grāmam, and the whole range of the senses, that has to be controlled. Then we can gradually, if we practice, gradually we shall understand what is the real happiness and how to attain it.
