Therefore, in the sastras it is advised, acintyah khalu ye bhava na tams tarkena yojayet. Acintyah khalu ye bhavah. Things which are beyond your perception, sense perception, acintya, mental speculation, not cintaniya... Acintya. Acintya means mentally speculating. Beyond that, acintya, you cannot think of how this pealike form develops into such a big brain or small brain. The hands, legs, and the mechanical process of different body... This is a machine. In the material world we manufacture machine, manufacturing different parts and assembling them. (aside:) The child may be... But this machine is automatically developing. There is no question of manufacturing each part and then assembling. It is yantra. This body is yantra, machine. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita:

So here it is said, therefore, dravya-sphurana-vijnanam. Dravya means physical. Dravya-jnana. Dravya-jnana means physical knowledge. And brahma-jnana means spiritual knowledge. So here it is said, dravya-sphurana. The material, physical, phenomenal atmosphere is developing one after another. The medical science, they are trying to study different cells; but wherefrom the cells came into action? That is by the influence or by the manipulation of prakrti. Prakrteh kriyamanani [Bg. 3.27]. And prakrti is working under the direction of Supreme Lord, Krsna. Mayadhyaksena prakrtih [Bg. 9.10]. Therefore, ultimately, by the superintendence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead everything is going on. But how it is going on, that we cannot explain. We have got limited knowledge. Therefore sastra says, "Don't try to speculate, because you are imperfect, but things are going on like this." Try to understand. Acintyah khalu ye bhava na tams tarkena yo... Simply by your so-called argument and logic you cannot understand. You have to hear from the authorities that "Things are going on like this."

This is called sruti, Veda-jnana. Sruti, Veda, perfect knowledge is called sruti. Srutibhih pratipanna, pratipanna. What is established by the sruti, by the Vedic knowledge, that we have to accept. Otherwise there is no other way. So this is even in the material field of activities, and what to speak of the spiritual. Therefore we have to hear from the authorities of sruti. Authorities of sruti... Krsna is the original speaker of sruti, or Veda knowledge. Therefore Vedic knowledge is called apauruseya. It is not manufactured or concocted by some mental speculator. It is coming from the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and it was imparted first of all to Lord Brahma, not by personal presentation, but through the heart. Brahma is the original person to understand Vedic knowledge. So after his birth he meditated for hundreds of years, and by meditation, through his heart the knowledge of Vedas, sruti, became revealed. Tene brahma hrda adi-kavaye. Adi-kavi means Brahma. And Brahman means Vedic knowledge. So we have to accept in that way. There is no physical science which can ascertain all this, how the things are taking place. But they are coming. In this way we have to learn from the sruti. Dravya-sphurana-vijnanam indriyanam anugrahah.

So dravya, the physical body, that is influenced by the taijasat vikurvanat . This physical body is developed by the mode of passion, the ego. The false ego of the spirit soul, when it is influenced by the mode of passion, then these indriyas, different indriyas, senses-eyes, ear, nose, tongue, hands, legs, genital, rectumall these thingsnine chidras, holes in the bodydevelop. And they ultimately come to become the different parts and limbs of the senses of the body.

The same example as I have already spoken several times, that a gentleman takes his dog chained, and the dog passes urine, and the gentleman also stands. He passes. He wants to go there, this and there, gives the facilitybut under the control of the chain. Similarly, we, after forgetting our relationship with Krsna, when we want to enjoy independently, the chance is given. This chance is given. That is material world. We get a material body, and we are given chance to enjoy as we like. But that is not very fruitful for our satisfaction. After all, we are part and parcel of sac-cid-ananda-vigraha [Bs. 5.1]. Sat, cit, ananda. Sat means eternal, cit means knowledge, and ananda means bliss. So we, being part and parcel of Krsna, the sac-cid-ananda-vigraha, we have got also the same type or same quality of constitutional position. But because we wanted independently, therefore we are in a position or in a circumstance which is neither sat nor cit nor ananda. Asat acit nirananda.

This body, material body, is asat. Everyone knows. It will not stay: temporary. Avinasi tu tad viddhi yena sarvam idam tatam. This body is vinasi, and the dehino 'smin yatha dehe [Bg. 2.13], the dehinah, the proprietor of the body, he is avinasi. He is sat, but this body is asat. Asad-grahat. The sastra says that sada samudvigna-dhiyam asad-grahat [SB 7.5.5]. This living entity, although part and parcel of the Supreme Being, Krsna, sac-cid-ananda-vigraha, so why, instead of ananda, we have got anxieties? Instead of ananda... Actually, we should have been in ananda. Anandamayo 'bhyasat (Vedanta-sutra 1.1.12). Just like Krsna is before us. He is ananda, He is enjoying, He is playing on His flute, and Srimati Radharani is serving Him, and all the gopis serving Him. And those who are devotees, they are also trying to assist Srimati Radharani and the gopis to give Krsna pleasure. Ananda-cinmaya-rasa-pratibhavitabhih. All the expansion, KrsnaSrimati Radharani and the gopisthey are expansion of ananda-cinmaya-rasa; they are not material. They are all ananda-cinmaya-rasa-pratibhavitabhis tabhir ya eva nija-rupataya kalabhih [Bs. 5.37]. They are also Krsna's. Everything is Krsna, separated and personal. So these are personal expansion. We are also Krsna's. We are separated now in this material... Therefore we have forgotten Krsna.

So ananda-cinmaya-rasa-pratibhavitabhis tabhir ya eva nija-rupataya kalabhih. Krsna is enjoying, sac-cid-ananda-vigraha [Bs. 5.1], by expanding His ananda-cinmaya-rasa, transcendental bliss and spiritual, cinmaya, not material. And so unless we do not know the difference between the material and spiritual, we should not try to understand Krsna's pleasure potency. If we try to understand Krsna's pleasure potencies, then we will misunderstand that "Krsna is also like us. He is enjoying amongst the young girls. Let us imitate it." That is falldown. Yes. That is called sahajiya. But Krsna's this enjoyment is not material. They are all spiritual. They are explained in the Srimad-Bhagavatam, that when the gopis came to Krsna, they came in their spiritual body. The material body was lying down with their husband. The husband could not know that "My wife has gone to Krsna." These are explained in the Srimad-Bhagavatam.

So this is all spiritual. Ananda-cinmaya-rasa. Rasa, rasa means mellow, the juice. There is juice, but that is not material juice. Material juice is different. That is temporary, asat. That is not sat. So if we want to taste this material juice, then we must be put into always in anxiety. Material life is anxiety. Therefore in this material world we..., I may love somebody, but it is full with anxieties. "My lover may not cheat. She may not go away" or "He may not go away." Because we are not in the spiritual platform, asad-grahat, we are simply trying to love the external feature which is asat, which will not exist. Just like if you try to love a doll made of earth, dirt, very nicely painted as they are exhibited in the window of the tailor's shop. Who is going to love that? Nobody is going to. Everyone knows that this is imitation. Similarly, this body is imitation. It is a layer on the spiritual body. The spiritual body, when gives up this body, it has no value. A dead body of a beautiful man or beautiful woman, nobody likes because the spiritual essence is gone. Therefore love is actually on the spiritual platform. Material love is simply superficial, and it will cheat you. We must know this. Asad-grahat. Sada samudvigna-dhiyam asad-grahat [SB 7.5.5].

So on the sat existence, this material existence develops, and the process of development is described here. And the development of the body is described here, dravya-sphurana-vijnanam. Dravya-sphurana. Dravya means physical, development of physical body. Vijnana, this is the vijnana, how things are developing one after another, one after another. Prakrteh kriyamanani. This is all by the material nature.

So one should be inquisitive to know "How this physical body has come into existence, covering myself, the spiritual body?" Aham brahmasmi. So to understand this science, Kapiladeva is explaining the physical Sankhya philosophy, how things are developing. To understand that... The same thing: to understand the simple thing, that "I am not this body. The body has developed from the soul." Therefore we challenge the material scientists. They say that the soul has developed from the body. No. Soul has not developed from the body, but the body has developed from the soul. Just the opposite. The material scientists, they think that combination of these physical elements creates a situation where is..., when there is living, life symptoms. No. That is not. The real is that, fact is, that the spirit soul is there. They are wandering all over the universe. Brahmanda brahman. Brahmanda means all over the universe. The spirit soul is sometimes in one species of life; sometimes he's another species of life. Sometimes he is in this planet; sometimes another planet. In this way, according to his karma, he is wandering. That is his material life. So ei rupe brahmanda bhramite [Cc. Madhya 19.151]. He is loitering, wandering without any aim. "What is the aim of life? Why I have put into this condition, accepting this material body, the source of all miseries?"these questions should be asked. This is called brahma-jijnasa. And that should be answered properly. Then our life will be successful. Otherwise it is as useless as the body of a cat or a dogno understanding, mudha. Mudha.

So the cats' and dogs' life or the cats and dogs in two legs... Any human being who has no spiritual knowledge, he is no better than the cats and dogs, but difference is: the cats and dogs have got four legs, and this animal has got two legs, that's all. Dvipada-pasu. They have been described as dvipada-pasu. Dvi means two, and pada means leg. So anyone who has no knowledge of the spiritual existencehow this material body has developed, how we are put into different conditions lifewithout this knowledge he is two-legged animal, that's all. So don't remain as two-legged animal. You may develop from two-legged animal another bodyfour-legged animalbut that is not our business. Our business is athato brahma jijnasa. That is our life. Now this human form of life should be inquisitive: jijnasuh sreya uttamam. That is life. You must be very much inquisitive to understand what is your ultimate goal of life. Sreya uttamam. Tasmad gurum prapadyeta jijnasuh sreya uttamam [SB 11.3.21].

Therefore Bhagavata says that in order to understand the Supreme goal of life, sreya uttamam... Sreya means the best. Sreya and preya. Preya means immediately palatable, and sreya means ultimately beneficial. That is called sreya. Just like for a child, playing is priya, preya. He likes to play. But he is by force, by the parents, he is studied books. That is called preya. But because without education, his future life will be dark. So parents know it. Therefore, although the child likes to playthat is preyathe parents engages them into sreya, into education. So that is the Vaisnava's duty. These rascals and fools, they are busy in material sense gratification, and it has become the duty of the devotee. Because the devotees means the servant of the supreme father, Krsna. So they have been engaged. Just like Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, yare dekha, tare kaha 'krsna'-upadesa [Cc. Madhya 7.128]. So devotees are so confidential servant of the Supreme Lord. Therefore they are engaged in preaching Krsna consciousness. They have no business for themselfthey are completely perfect as soon as they have accepted Krsnabut they are working on behalf of Krsna to turn these two-legged animals to become Krsna conscious. This is the meaning of Krsna consciousness movement.

Thank you very much. (end)
