enjoying

 
Imported quote 16187
This is a prayer of a Vaisnava, pure devotee. Like Caitanya Mahaprabhu teaches: na dhanam na janam na sundarim kavitam va. What do the karmis want in the world? They desire more wealth and want to become leader-janam, want many people to follow them. They want to become a big leader, [...], and want money, and want beautiful women. These are the objects of sense gratification: labha, pūja, pratistha [Cc. Madhya 19.159] [profit, adoration and distinction]. But a real pure devotee says "I do not want all these things". And what else does He say? Mama janmani jamani. Janmani janmani means he does not even want liberation. Because if liberated then where is the question of janma [birth]. So janmani janmani, "wherever is borned", bhavatad bhaktir ahaituki tvayi. Only unalloyed devotion to the Lord remains. This is a prayer of a devotee. Therefore he is called niskama, krsna-bhakta-niskama. As long as material desires persist there is no peace, ataeva 'santa', he has become desireless. One who has become a pure devotee is peaceful. And bhukti-mukti-siddhi-kami, bhukti means "one who wants to enjoy in material world", and mukti..., jnanis want to be one with the Lord. Bhukti and siddhi..., yogi; yogi wants many types of siddhis [mystic perfections]. All these are without peace. No peace, they cannot have peace. Because, the reason is, just like you are sitting here, and if you have any work at home then being in flickering state you will leave, because you do not have peace. Anybody who wants anything other than God cannot attain peace. Only a person who is always engaged in devotional service without any desires can attain peace. He is the highest yogi, and only he is peaceful, and others have no peace.    (More...)
