Will-o'-the wisp

[krsna]

Bhagavad-gita 7.4 Class

 

Vrndavana, August 10, 1974

Vidyapati sings,

tatala saikate vari-bindu-sama,

suta-mita-ramani-samaje.

We have created this society,

friendship and love in this material world

for becoming happy.

 

Everyone wants to be happy,

because that is his natural inclination. Anandamayo 'bhyasat.

As Krsna is happy always...

You will see.

Krsna is enjoying His life with Srimati Radharani

and the gopis or the cowherds boys

or His father, mother.

That is spiritual, everything.

Ananda-cinmaya-rasa-pratibhavitabhih.

That is ananda-cinmaya.

 

A similar imitation here in this material world.

The same thing, suta-mita-ramani-samaje.

But it is false.

Just like you see water in the desert.

You'll see there is vast mass of water in the desert,

and the animal falsely go to drink the water and dies.

 

Similarly, in this material world,

this suta-mita-ramani-samaje,

what we are trying to become happy,

that is like will-o'-the wisp, false thing.

Real life is in the society of Krsna.
