One who has practiced to become dhīra, not to become disturbed by the sensuous or bodily sensations, he's supposed to be kalpate; he's supposed to be, to become immortal at the end. And the Bhāgavata says also that you do not become a spiritual master, you do not become a father, you do not become a mother, you do not become a friend, a relative, in this way, if you cannot make your subordinate immortal. Pitā na sa syāt gurur na sa syāt . . . gurur na sa syāt, jananī na sā syāt pitā na sa syāt (SB 5.5.18).
In this way, there is a list. You become father of hundreds of children. That's all right. No restriction. You beget children. But you must make your children immortal. That is the injunction. You have become guru. That's all right, Guru-ji Mahārāja. That's all right. But make your disciples immortal. Otherwise, don't . . . don't cheat others. Cheaters. Illicit father, illicit mother. As we say illicit sex, similarly illicit father, illicit mother. Who is illicit father, illicit mother? Who cannot make his children immortal.
That is the aim of human life: How to become immortal. How not to become . . . we are immortal. Just like a person, he's diseased, attacked by fever. Fever is not his natural condition, but somehow or other, he has got fever. Similarly, we are immortal. That will be explained. Na jāyate na mriyate vā (BG 2.20). The living entity never takes birth, never dies; therefore immortal. Immortal means no birth, no death. That is immortal. Whenever there is birth, there is death. If there is no birth, there is no death. That is immortality.
So the whole scheme is—Vedic scheme, not otherwise—how to become immortal. You'll find in Bhagavad-gītā, yad gatvā na nivartante tad dhāma paramaṁ mama (BG 15.6). In many places, the śāstra only aims at. In another place, in Bhakti-kāvya, when Viśvāmitra Muni came to see Mahārāja Daśaratha to ask his son, Rāmacandra and Lakṣmaṇa, to take them . . . they were boys at that time, and there was a demon disturbing in the forest. So Viśvāmitra . . .
(aside) Not back side . . .
Viśvāmitra Muni came to Mahārāja Daśaratha for help. Viśvāmitra Muni could kill that demon immediately, but that is not the business of the brāhmaṇa. Killing business is for the kṣatriya. Just see how . . . he was quite powerful. He could kill that demon simply by saying that, "You die." He was so powerful, Viśvāmitra Muni. But still, he came to the king for help.
So when Viśvāmitra Muni came to Mahārāja Daśaratha, as we ask: "How are you?" so Daśaratha, Mahārāja Daśaratha, inquired from you, er, from Viśvāmitra Muni, aihistam yad punar janmajaya: "My dear sir, if there is anything disturbance in your occupation? Because you are trying to conquer over death." All the great ṛṣis and saintly persons, all spiritual realization means to conquer over death. So this was the question, ihistam yad tam punar janma-jayāya. Punar janma, "You are trying to own over repetition of birth." The modern civilization, they do not know that it is possible. It is possible to become immortal, to have eternal, blissful life of knowledge. That is called immortality. Sac-cid-ānanda. Sat means eternity, and cit means knowledge, and ānanda means pleasure, bliss.
