house, tennant and landlord

Imported quote 17002 That is enquired here, ksetra..., ksetram ksetra-jnam ca. This body is ksetra, field of activities. But the field worker is different. Therefore this is the enquiry. Ksetram ksetra-jnam. We are taking care of this ksetra, this body, but we do not take care of the occupier of the body or the owner of the body. There are two ksetra-jna, you will find in this verse, two living entities. One is called the soul, and the other is called the Supersoul. In this body there are two souls. One is the occupier soul, and the other is the proprietor soul. Proprietor soul... Just like in a house there are two kinds of persons: the occupier and the landlord. The landlord is actually the proprietor of the house, and the tenant is occupier. Similarly, there are two souls within this body. That is stated in the Vedic literature. Just like two birds on one tree. So the living entity, the individual soul, is there. He is also one bird. And the Supersoul, or God, is also there.
(More...) Imported quote 18008 Simply going and asking the spiritual master or guru, and not to accept his instruction, then don't waste your time. Don't waste your time. In a challenging spirit, if you go to a spiritual master without any service, sevaya, and pranipatena... Pranipatena... Prakrsta-rūpena nipata. Nipata means fall down, and pra means prakrsta-rūpa, sufficiently; no reservation. This knowledge, the transcendental knowledge, is based on this pranipata. Therefore Krsna says, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja [Bg 18.66]: "You just surrender unto Me." And similarly, we have to surrender to Krsna or His representative. So guru is representative, external representative. Internal guru is Krsna Himself. Īsvaraḥ sarva-bhūtanam hrd-dese arjuna tisthati [Bg 18.61]. Not that Īsvara, Krsna, is in Vaikuntha or Goloka Vrndavana. He is everywhere, even within the atom. Goloka eva nivasaty akhilatma-bhūtaḥ [Bs 5.37].
