Prabhupāda: This is Bhagavad-gītā. (break) śrī-bhagavān uvāca . . .(aside) That's all right. bhūya eva mahā-bāhośṛṇu me paramaṁ vacaḥyat te 'haṁ prīyamāṇāyavakṣyāmi hita-kāmyayā (BG 10.1) (aside) Why this talk? • Devotee: (aside) Turn it down.Prabhupāda: Bhūyaḥ. Bhūyaḥ means again, repeated. Kṛṣṇa consciousness, it is very easy, at the same time it is very difficult. If we take it easily, just like Kṛṣṇa says, sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁśaraṇaṁ vraja (BG 18.66), then it is very easy. God, Kṛṣṇa, is great, and I am a fractional portion, minute portion, of God. It is my duty to remain surrendered unto Him. Then the matter is very easy. But we have made the matter very difficult.We are thinking in different ways, that I am God, God is dead, Why you are searching God? The God is loitering in the street, so many Gods. Why you are going to temple? So many. Means it is the business of the asuras to get away God. Kaṁsa's business, Rāvaṇa's business, Hiraṇyakaśipu's business, demon's business is to drive away God consciousness.(aside) Just you have to stop this, this disturbance. (noisy ceiling fans)Therefore, because this material world is full of demons . . . every one of us who is in this material world is more or less a demon. Every one of us. Because just like in the prison house there may be some first-class prisoners, second-class prisoners or third-class prisoners, all of them to some extent are criminals—violated the laws of the state. That is the position. Everyone. Similarly, anyone who is in this material world, he is to some extent a criminal. Criminal in this respect: that he has defied the authority or the supremacy of God. The degree may be different, but all of them, they have defied.That is the explanation given by one Vaiṣṇava kavi:kṛṣṇa bhuliya jīva bhoga vāñchā karepāsate māyā tāre jāpaṭīyā dhare(Prema-vivarta 6.2)Our this material contact is due to our forgetfulness of Kṛṣṇa—that Kṛṣṇa is the only enjoyer, Kṛṣṇa is the predominator, Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme, Kṛṣṇa is the proprietor. That we have forgotten. Why Kṛṣṇa should be only proprietor? I shall be proprietor. Why Kṛṣṇa should be only enjoyer? I shall also enjoy. This mentality has put us in the material world.kṛṣṇa bhuliya jīva bhoga vāñchā karepāsate māyā tāre jāpaṭīyā dhare(Prema-vivarta 6.2)This is our position.So the māyā has captured us. Why? Because we have defied the supremacy of Kṛṣṇa. So all of us, more or less. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says in the Tenth Chapter, bhūya eva mahā-bāho (BG 10.1). Arjuna is great soldier; therefore he is addressed as mahā-bāho. Bāho, we have got bāho. We have got bāho. But Arjuna's bāho is different: he can fight with thousands of men alone. We cannot fight even with one man, although we have got this bāho. Therefore he is addressed as mahā-bāho. And another meaning is that unless one is very strong in determination, he cannot make any advancement in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. He must be a hero. He must be able to fight with the laws of material nature.Just like in our society there are four prohibited principles: no illicit sex life, no intoxication, no meat-eating, no gambling. So especially at the modern age, it is very difficult to give it up unless one is mahā-bāho, very strong. Very strong. They cannot even give up drinking tea. How much strength required? So many people come, respectable gentlemen, they want me to initiate them. As soon as I say that You have to follow these principles, immediately they go away. It is very difficult.Therefore Kṛṣṇa says that bhūya eva mahā . . . śṛṇu me paramaṁ vacaḥ (BG 10.1). Everything what Kṛṣṇa says, that is paramaṁ, supreme truth. Kṛṣṇa cannot commit any mistake. The difference between Kṛṣṇa and ourself is that whatever we do, they are subjected to so many deficiencies, because we commit mistake, we are disillusioned, and our senses are imperfect and we cheat. Kṛṣṇa is not like that. Therefore whatever He says, that is supreme, that is transcendental. And still, because we are conditional, Kṛṣṇa is speaking to Arjuna in so many different ways just to convince him. This is the duty, because Kṛṣṇa has been accepted by Arjuna as the spiritual master. Śiṣyas te 'haṁśādhi māṁ prapannam (BG 2.7). And Kṛṣṇa is teaching him. • ______________________________________ • Given that the original recordings are often difficult to hear, Prabhupada Enhanced project focuses on restoring A.C.
