As you are, you young boys and girls, why you are after me? The natural sequence is that, "Now we have to inquire what is the next, because this material happiness has not given us any happiness actually." So when a man becomes civilized, when a man has enjoyed enough of this so-called material, the next inquiry is about the Absolute Truth. That is natural. That is natural, because every living entity is spiritual spark. He's not this body.
Therefore . . . Kṛṣṇa has already explained. To understand what the kṣetrajña, the knower of the body, and to understand what is this body, kṣetra-kṣetrajñayoḥ, and who is the another, real proprietor of the body, Kṛṣṇa—kṣetrajñaṁ ca api māṁ viddhi. So if one can understand these three things—kṣetra, kṣetrajna, and the supreme kṣetrajna—he . . . it is . . . even by common sense we can understand. It requires little cool brain. But that cool brain cannot act without giving us . . . giving up these four things, namely illicit sex, meat-eating, intoxication and gambling. If your brain is congested always with all these four rubbish things, you cannot think of higher, finer things. That is not possible.
Therefore we restrict, to make the brain clear to understand about Kṛṣṇa. Parīkṣit Mahārāja said, vinā paśughnāt.
- nirvṛtta-tarṣair upagīyamānād
- bhavauśadhāc-chrotra-mano'-bhirāmāt
- ka uttama-śloka-guṇānuvādāt
- . . . virajyeta vinā paśughnāt
- (SB 10.1.4)
Vinā paśughnāt. And these are the śāstric injunction. The meat-eaters, they have no brain to understand about the Absolute Truth. It is no . . . they simply speculate. They cannot understand. It is not possible. That is the . . . Parīkṣit Mahārāja says, vinā paśughnāt: "Except the rascals who are accustomed to kill animals, all, everyone, will take shelter of the glorification of the Lord, except these persons." Vinā paśughnāt (SB 10.1.4). He says, nirvṛtta-tarṣair upagīyamānāt. Glorification of the Lord:
- Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare
- Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare
It is chanted by the liberated person. It is not chanted by the conditioned soul. It is not possible. Therefore not everyone can chant. You'll . . . you have seen it, experienced, that your chanting, dancing, is very in ecstasy, emotion—others are standing, without opening their mouth. They cannot chant. That is a very difficult job for them, because it is the property of the liberated person, not for the conditioned soul.
Therefore Parīkṣit Mahārāja said, nirvṛtta-tarṣaiḥ. Tarṣaiḥ. Tṛṣṇa. Tṛṣṇa means hankering. Hankering. Just like if you are thirsty, you feel, "Where is water? Where is water? Where is water?" That is called tṛṣṇa. So nirvṛtta-tarṣaiḥ means one who has finished all hankering for material enjoyment. He's called nirvṛtta-tṛṣṇa. Nirvṛtta means finished, and tṛṣṇa means hankering. The same thing is described in the Śrīmad . . . Bhagavad-gītā: brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā na śocati na kāṅkṣati (BG 18.54). Kāṅkṣati. Kāṅkṣati means if I hanker, that means still I am hungry or thirsty. But there is a position, brahma-bhūta position, by brahma-jijñāsā, that we can get relief of these two activities, hankering and lamenting.
