become disgusted

So real business of..., especially of human being... The animals, they do not know. They have no capacity to know that we are in the darkness-darkness of knowledge and actually darkness. So one has to be..., become nirvinna, disgusted. One, intelligent man, should be disgusted. One must be intelligent to know that "I am eternal." Na hanyate hanyamane sarire. It is the preliminary study of Bhagavad-gita. Krsna is instructing about the constitutional position of the soul: na hanyate hanyamane sarire, na jayate na mriyate kadacit [Bg 2.20]. Kadacit, at any time, the soul does not take birth, does not die. And more explicitly it is said, na hanyate hanyamane sarire. The covering..., the body is the covering. So after destruction of this body, the soul is not destroyed. Just like if I change my shirt and coat or somehow or other the shirt and coat is destroyed, I, the person who put on this dress, I am not destroyed. This simple knowledge is instructed in the beginning of the Bhagavad-gita. There are so many big, big scholars, big, big leaders, and still, they cannot understand that "I am not this body." This is the result, because they do not study Bhagavad-gita in the proper way. We have got so many leaders, big, big leaders, they are teaching Bhagavad-gita. But nobody is fully aware or convinced that "I am not this body." This is called darkness. This is called darkness. And when one becomes disgusted with this darkness, or this position in the darkness, that is human life. Tasmad gurum prapadyeta jijnasuḥ sreya uttamam [SB 11.3.21]. Such person who has become disgusted with this material existence, he requires the instruction of a guru.    (More...)
