Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

We have to see through the śastra, not by our blunt eyes and senses, that is useless, adukik. Those who are bringing spiritual master as spiritual matter to be, to be subjected to the experimental knowledge, it is not possible. Experimental knowledge is defective, therefore we have to understand spiritual subject matter, śastra-yonitvāt.

In the Bhagavad-gītā also it is said, īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati. (BG 18.61) Īśvaraḥ, the supreme Lord is situated in everyone's heart. Your heart, my heart, it is particularly mentioned in the heart. We are searching out, where is the soul, where is the Supersoul but it is in the heart. And we see also so long the heart is going on beating the living condition is there as soon as the heart stops everything finished. And the śastra says also, īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati. Now you find out where is the Supersoul and the soul but because you cannot find out it does not mean that there is no soul, no Supersoul. That does not mean. That is your imperfectness of knowledge, or process of knowledge. And how you can find out? The magnitude of the soul is stated in the śastra, 1/10000 part of the tip of the hair. We cannot measure even the tip of the hair, and why, how we can measure it? And because we cannot find out we say there is no soul. No. There is soul.

keśāgra-śata-bhāgasya
śatadhā kalpitasya ca
jīvaḥ bhāgo sa vijñeyaḥ
sa cānantyāya kalpate
(CC Madhya 19.140)

Therefore we have to see through the śastra, not by our blunt eyes and senses, that is useless, adukik. Those who are bringing spiritual master as spiritual matter to be, to be subjected to the experimental knowledge, it is not possible. Experimental knowledge is defective, therefore we have to understand spiritual subject matter, śastra-yonitvāt. The Vedānta-sūtra says, you have to learn from the śastra. So here Kṛṣṇa says that everything can be converted into Brahma. It is a fact, sarvaṁ khalv idaṁ brahma. How to realise, that is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is described in the Bhagavad-gītā very nicely. Just like Kṛṣṇa says, everything is Kṛṣṇa, how to realise? The Kṛṣṇa says those who are not very advanced they have been advised to understand Kṛṣṇa, how? Raso 'ham apsu kaunteya, (BG 7.8) my dear Arjuna, I am the taste of the water. Begin like that. Raso 'ham apsu kaunteya, apsu, in liquid, any liquid thing you have some taste, otherwise how you will drink the liquid things. You have got some, everything has got taste. The whole world is full of taste, unless there is taste no one can be inclined to enjoy something. Anything you take. Therefore sex life is called ādi-rasa, the original taste. So in the water, when we drink water, or milk, or even wine, any liquid thing, if you simply try to practice this, that this taste where what I am enjoying that is Kṛṣṇa. That begins Kṛṣṇa consciousness. It is not very difficult, everyone can do that. If you cannot chant, if you cannot hear about Kṛṣṇa, if you cannot understand about Kṛṣṇa because the devotional method is, śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ smaraṇaṁ pāda-sevanam. (SB 7.5.23-24)

So to hear about Kṛṣṇa it does not appeal to everyone. Kṛṣṇa is fighting in the battlefield of Kurukṣetra and Kṛṣṇa is playing on the courtyard of Yaśodāmayī. There are so many description in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, ordinary less intelligent man they cannot understand that the Paraṁ Brahma, supreme Brahma can crawl in the courtyard of mother Yaśodā. It is very difficult for them to understand. Therefore the 10th Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam there is description of Kṛṣṇa's activities because unless one understands what is Kṛṣṇa, he is not interested in the activities of Kṛṣṇa. But those who are devotees they know that Kṛṣṇa's and Kṛṣṇa's activities are one and the same. Absolute. So if we cannot understand Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa is so kind that he descends and plays in so many ways, if we simply hear about Kṛṣṇa, then that means that we associate with Kṛṣṇa, chanting of Kṛṣṇa, Hare Krishna nāma is Kṛṣṇa, nāma-cintāmaṇi-kṛṣṇaḥ caitanya-rasa-vigrahaḥ. (CC Madhya 17.133) these are the statement of the śastra. Kṛṣṇa's name, cintāmaṇi is spiritual, it is not material.
