Many times devotees feel that they are
Engaged in sinful activity even though they
do not want to do it.
This same query aroused in mind of Arjuna
& Krishna solved it in Bhagavad Gita 3.37:-
śrī-bhagavān uvāca
kāma eṣa krodha eṣa
rajo-guṇa-samudbhavaḥ
mahāśano mahā-pāpmā
viddhy enam iha vairiṇam
The Blessed Lord said: It is lust only,
Arjuna, which is born of contact
with the material modes of passion
and later transformed into
wrath, and which is the all-devouring,
sinful enemy of this world.
So it is lust that is eternal enemy of
living entity & this lust develops from
Mode of passion.
But why this lust & mode of passion has to be
Imposed that’s next question.
This is because living entity has
lots & lots of desire & to fulfil these desires of
Living entity Krishna created this material world
& for creation it requires mode of passion.
So Krishna has given us minute freedom to
Fulfill our desire but that in a regulated way so
Eventually living entity come to the point of
Krishna consciousness.
But humans have misused this opportunity
& become more engrossed in mode of
passion & degraded to mode of ignorance
& developed wrath.
It is said in manu samhita that no amount
Of sense gratification satisfy one & it will only
Increase it more & more like forest fire.
Like if you constantly supply fuel then fire
Is not going to be extinguished
but it flares up only.
This lust has different layers
of covering of consciousness.
Like smoke covering fire,
dust on the mirror & embryo in womb.
Trees are like embryo in womb who are in
Helpless condition& most dense covering
Of consciousness. No chance to escape this
covering of lust.
Next are beast & birds who are
like mirror on dust type
covering of consciousness.
& lastly humans who have lust
covering like that of the smoke
covering fire. There is a chance if you
Properly clear smoke then fire will flare up
& your consciousness may be uncovered &
attain real consciousness that is Krishna
Consciousness.
So what is this Krishna consciousness
& how to develop it?? Is the next question.
Lust is to satisfy one’s own sense & that
develops by forgetting serving attitude towards
Krishna.So all we have to do is reverse this process
& become engaged in Krishna’s service &
avoid sense gratification.
This can be developed by :
Nitya siddha Krishan Prema
Sadhya kabu noy
Shravan adi suddh chitte
Karo udaya
This Krishna consciousness is eternal part of Jiva
& we can revive it by Shravan That is
Hearing & chanting names of Krishna & Krishna Katha
Under bonafide spiritual master’s guidance & serving
Guru & Krishna with humility,Submission & surrender with
Utmost sincerity & seriousness.
Hare Krishna 🙏🏻
