belongs to krishna

So real sanity is to understand that this body belongs to Krsna. We are misunderstanding that this body belongs to my father, mother, or my master or to the cats and dogs or the vultures-in so many ways. That is material. Materially, we can understand that. But spiritually, this body belongs to Krsna because the body is made of, I mean to say, prepared by the eight elements. We have got the five elements, bhūmir apo 'nalo vayuḥ [Bg 7.4]. There is earth, water, air, fire, and the mind and the intelligence and the false ego. This is the eight combination of the matter. Then, the matter being agitated, there are ten senses and then sense objects. In this way this body is composition of twenty-four elements. But all these elements, Krsna says, bhinna me prakrtir astadha [Bg 7.4]: "That is My energy."    (More...)

So actually our body belongs to Krsna, and I also belong to Krsna. Parakya. In both senses it belongs to other. Other means Krsna. So logically, both the body, mind, intelligence and myself, everything should be engaged for Krsna's interest. That is real knowledge. That is real knowledge. Krsna says that ksetra-jnam capi mam viddhi sarva-ksetresu bharata [Bg 13.3]. He is also ksetra-jna. I am ksetra-jna because I possess this body, and the body is ksetra, the field of activities. Just like here the cultivators, they have got... Each one of them have got some land, and they are producing food grains or any other products according to his ability and capacity, and he's enjoying this property. Therefore he's called ksetra-jna or ksetri. The field is called ksetra and the owner is called ksetri, or ksetra-jna. Ksetra-jna means that cultivator knows that "This earmarked land is mine." Ksetra-jna. "It belongs to me." So actually this field does not belong to him; it belongs to the government, because he has to pay, collect tax, to the collector. So actually land does not belong to him; it belongs to the government. Similarly, where is the difficulty to understand that although I am cultivating this body, karma... Taking this body as my field of activities, we are doing work. Everyone can understand it. But finally this body belongs to Krsna, as this land belongs to the government.    (More...)
