SIMPLY YOU LEND YOUR EAR TO THE

DISCOURSES GIVEN BY REALIZED SOUL

 

 

 

 

So Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, jnane prayasam udapasya namanta eva... "Or then

I, I give up the speculative process and I become humbler, as you advise. Then

what is My next duty?" Next duty is: namanta eva, being humble, san-mukharitam

bhavadiya-vartam, you should approach a person who is a devotee, and you should

hear from him. Sthane sthitah. You remain in your place. You remain American.

You remain Indian. You remain Christian. You remain a Hindu. You remain black.

You remain white. You remain woman, man, whatever you are. Simply you lend your

ear to the discourses given by realized soul. This is recommended. And when you

hear, then you contemplate also. Just like you are hearing me. If you

contemplate that "What Swamiji said...?" Sthane sthitah sruti-gatam

tanu-van-manobhih. Sruti-gatam. Sruti means just receiving through the ear. If

you contemplate and try to understand with your body, mind, then gradually

you'll... Because your aim is self-realization. So self means Superself. The

Supreme Lord, He's the Supreme Self. We are part and parcel. So by this

process, Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, God, Ajita, one who is never conquered... If

you... By challenge, if you want to know God, you'll never understand. God

never accepts challenge. Because God is great. Why should He accept your

challenge. If you say, "Oh, my dear God, please come here. I shall see You," so

God is not like that, that He will carry your order. You must carry His order.

Then God realization. God says: "You surrender," sarva-dharman parityajya mam

ekam saranam vraja. That process, you'll learn God. Not that "Oh, I shall know

God. I have got good intelligence, speculate." No.

So this hearing... We are talking of the hearing. The hearing process is so

important. All our, this institute, Krsna consciousness movement has spread

because the students who have joined us, they have given aural reception, by

hearing. The hearing, everything was changed within themselves and they have

joined with full, whole-heartedness, and the... Going on. So hearing is so

important. We are opening so many centers just to give people chance of hearing

about the transcendental message. So you take chance, you take, I mean to say,

the advantage of this hearing process.
