# Morning Walk *Type: Walk Dated: November 24th 1975 Location: Bombay Audio file: 751124MW.BOM.mp3* Prabhupāda: ...and therefore they are suffering. Dr. Patel: Yes. [laughs] Prabhupāda: Yes. The whole world is suffering on this misconception. The horse also. As soon as it gets on somebody on his back, he become jubilant immediately. This is the nature. *Jīvera 'svarūpa' haya-nitya kṛṣṇa dāsa* Cc. Madhya 20.108-109. [aside:] Hare Kṛṣṇa. *Jaya. Jaya.* [break] > ...vantam eva caran nirāntaraṁ > prasanta-niḥśeṣa-mano-rathāntaram > kadāham aikāntika-nitya-kiṅkaraḥ > praharsayīśyāmi sanātha-jīvitam Cc. Madhya 1.206 This is Vaiṣṇava aspiration. *Bhavantam eva caran nirāntaram:* "Twenty-four hours simply carrying Your orders." And you can do it. But it is not possible; the mind is checking. *Prasanta-niḥśeṣa mano-rathāntaram.* Unless one's mind is fixed up, he cannot become servant of God. *Kadāham aikāntika-nitya-kiṅkara.* "In this way, when I shall be absolutely Your servant and live very joyfully, that 'I have got my master'?" This is Yamunacārya's verse. > bhavantam eva caran nirāntaraṁ > prasanta-niḥśeṣa-mano-rathāntaram > kadāham aikāntika-nitya-kiṅkaraḥ > praharsayīśyāmi sanātha-jīvitam Cc. Madhya 1.206 Dr. Patel: *Sanātha-jīva.* Prabhupāda: They are all *anātha-jīvita.* Yes. Everyone is independence and *anātha.* There is *nātha,* but he'll not recognize. *Anātha-jīvita. Bhavantam eva caran nirāntaraṁ prasanta...* So we are educating people how to become *sanātha-jīvitam.* Live on your master's... Everyone is living at the cost of master, but foolishly... *Ahāṅkara-vimūḍhātmā kartāham iti manyate* Bg. 3.27. They are living at the cost of the master, but they will not accept. This is the disease. [break] ...natural life, *sanātha-jīvitam.* From the birth the child is *sanātha,* parents. Where is the possibility of living independently? That is not possible. Dr. Patel: Yamunācārya was *śiṣya* or *guru* of Rāmānujācārya? Prabhupāda: Rāmānujācārya. Dr. Patel: Rāmānujācārya was *guru* or *śiṣya?* Prabhupāda: Yes, *guru.* Dr. Patel: *Guru.* I think Viṣṇu Svāmī was his *śiṣya.* Prabhupāda: No. Viṣṇu Svāmī sampradāya, different. That is Rudra-sampradāya. And Rāmānujācārya is Śrī-sampradāya. The Vallabhācāryas, they belong to Viṣṇu Svāmī. We belong to Madhva-sampradāya. Four *ācāryas.* Yaśomatīnandana: Who was the originator of Śrī-sampradāya? Prabhupāda: Hmm? Yaśomatīnandana: Who was before...? Prabhupāda: Lakṣmījī. *Pāda-sevanam. Śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ smaraṇaṁ pāda-sevanam* [SB 7.5.23]. Lakṣmījī is always engaged in massaging the feet of Lord Viṣṇu. Yaśomatīnandana: Rāmānujācārya is the biggest in line? Prabhupāda: Yes. [aside:] Hare Kṛṣṇa. *Jaya.* Indian man: [Hindi] [dogs barking] [break] Dr. Patel: ...dog and the other. That is the bulldog. Russian is defeated. [laughs] Prabhupāda: Who is defeated? Dr. Patel: Other is English dog. Prabhupāda: He is Russian dog? Dr. Patel: This one is Russian. Brahmānanda: That's German. Dr. Patel: They have crossed the dog with the, what you call, the bull. Brahmānanda: German shepherd. Dr. Patel: So Germany is defeated, no? That's the same... Prabhupāda: The bulldogs are English? Dr. Patel: They are English. And Mr. Churchill is the representative of all the bulldogs. [break] Prabhupāda: ...thinking, "I am English dog," [laughter] and he is thinking, "I am..." And the man is also thinking like that. What is the difference? Dr. Patel: Both are animals. Prabhupāda: *Yasyātmā buddhiḥ kuṇape tri-dhātuke* SB 10.84.13. Dr. Patel: That is right. We have got a *dvija, dvija-karma kriya. Dvijā-karma-kriya?* What do you call it? Prabhupāda: *Saṁskāra.* Dr. Patel: All are born as animal. Prabhupāda: *Saṁskārād bhaved dvijaḥ.* Dr. Patel: *Saṁskāra,* yes. *Dvija-saṁskāra.* Second birth. Prabhupāda: That *saṁskāra* is now stopped; therefore all of them are animals. Yes. [break] The *murgis* [chickens], they are in the cowshed? Dr. Patel: That man who is looking after cows, he must be keeping. Prabhupāda: For *andha* [eggs]? Dr. Patel: For everything. They eat even the *murgis.* Nowadays this meat-eating has become very widespread in India. Even *brāhmaṇas* are eating meat. I don't mean those who have gone to Europe or America and come back, but people who are staying here. Extremely common. Prabhupāda: That is the sign that in very near future there will be no food grains. That is the sign. There will be no rice, no wheat, main food grain. Yaśomatīnandana: Already in Bombay it's about six, seven rupees per kilo, rice. Prabhupāda: *Ācchā?* Dr. Patel: No, no. Now rice will be very much down. In Gujarat it is two rupees. I bought some land here and sown the rice. We are going to get about eight hundred or a thousand *maunds* of rice. And when we sown the field it was sixty rupees, rice. Today it is thirty-two rupees. It is coming down. The crop is very good everywhere, all over India, this year. Prabhupāda: Because there was sufficient rain. Dr. Patel: Very good rain, yes. Gujarat will be more than self-sufficient. It is already the richest part of this country. Prabhupāda: *Parjanyāt.* Dr. Patel: *Parjanyād anna-sambhavaḥ. Annād bhavati bhūtāni* Bg. 3.14. It is... Prabhupāda: This is cycle. Perform *yajña,* and everything will come. They have stopped *yajña.* Therefore *hari-nāma-yajña,* this is the *yajña.* Dr. Patel: Viṣṇu... *Viṣṇur vai yajñaḥ.* Viṣṇu Himself is *yajña.* Prabhupāda: Yes. [break] Devotee (1): ...were saying that it is because of our chanting twenty-four hours a day that there is more rain this year. Prabhupāda: Yes. In Hyderabad they also say. For six or seven years there was no rain. Now it is raining. This is practical. [break] *...yanti bhūtāni.* Devotee in distance: *Haribol!* Prabhupāda: Hare Kṛṣṇa. *Jaya.* Dr. Patel: Who is that? Old man? Prabhupāda: Yes. [Hindi] [break] ...has died. His grandson is maintaining. [break] Dr. Patel: *...yajñaḥ karma-samudbhavaḥ.* Prabhupāda: [Hindi] *...yajñaḥ karma-samudbhavaḥ.* Not for sense gratification. Then you will suffer. But they are all working for sense gratification, not *yajñārthe. Yajnārthe karmaṇo 'nyatra loko 'yaṁ karma-bandhanaḥ* Bg. 3.9. Dr. Patel: *Tad arthaṁ karma kaunteya mukta-saṅgaḥ samācara.* Prabhupāda: *Samācara.* Dr. Patel: But here, sir, *parjanyād anna sambhavaḥ.* There, *yajñad bhavati bhūtāni, yajñaḥ karma-samudbhavaḥ, karma brahmodbhava viddhi brahmākṣara-samudbhavam.* That means *karma* as ordained by the scriptures, *brahmodbhavam.* Prabhupāda: Yes. That is *karma.* Otherwise *vikarma.* But they are doing *vikarma. Nunaṁ pramattaḥ kurute vikarma yad indriya-prītaya āpṛṇoti* SB 5.5.4. This is *vikarma,* anyone working hard day and night for sense gratification. That means sinful, *vikarma.* Dr. Patel: And if you don't do the ordained *karmas,* it is *akarma.* No. It is *akarma.* Prabhupāda: *Karma* means according to the *śāstra's* direction. Dr. Patel: But if you don't do that, that becomes *akarma.* Prabhupāda: *Vikarma.* Dr. Patel: [Hindi] *Akarma* means... [Hindi] Prabhupāda: Yes. *Akarma* means no resultant action. When it is done for Viṣṇu... Dr. Patel: Then it becomes *akarma.* Prabhupāda: *Akarma.* Dr. Patel: *Akarma.* But *akarma,* the... In this *bhāṣya* of Rāmānujācārya, he says *akarma* means knowledge. Prabhupāda: Yes. Knowledge. That is knowledge, that "I have to work for Viṣṇu." That is knowledge. Dr. Patel: *Akarma* means knowledge. Prabhupāda: Yes. [aside:] Hare Kṛṣṇa. [end]
