happy, joyful, blissful

Yad-avadhi mama cetah krsna-padaravinde. One emperor, he was king, so naturally he was lusty also. So he gave up this life, became a devotee. So when he was perfectly situated, so he said, Yamunacarya-he was the guru of Ramanujacarya-so he said that yad-avadhi mama cetah krsna-padaravinde: "Since I've trained my mind to be engaged in the service of the lotus feet of Krsna," yad-avadhi mama cetah krsna-padaravinde nava-nava-dhamany udyatam rasa, "daily I am offering service to Krsna, I am getting new, new pleasure." The spiritual life means... If one is actually situated in spiritual life he'll get spiritual pleasure, transcendental bliss, by serving more and more, new and new. That is spiritual life. So Yamunacarya said, yad-avadhi mama cetah krsna-padaravinde nava-nava-dhamany udyatam rantum asit: "When I am now realizing transcendental pleasure every moment by serving Krsna's lotus feet," tad-avadhi, "since then," bata nari-saṅgame... Sometimes we enjoy subtle pleasure, thinking of sex life. That is called nari-saṅgame. Nari means woman, and saṅga means union. So those who are practiced, so when there is actually no union, they think of union. So Yamunacarya says that "Not actually union with woman, but if I think of union," tad-avadhi bata nari-saṅgame smaryamane, smaryamane, "simply by thinking," bhavati mukha-vikarah, "oh, immediately I becomes disgusted: 'Ah, what is this nasty thing?' " Susthu nisthi... [makes spitting sound] This is perfect. [chuckles] This is perfection. Yes. So long we'll think of, that is called subtle sex, thinking. They read the sex literature. That is subtle sex. Gross sex and subtle sex. So one has to become completely free from these lusty desires, not to become implicated which will never be satisfied-unsatiated, duspuram.    (More...)

And in the previous verse we have discussed rjubhir yoga-margaih [SB 3.25.26]. Rju, very simple method. Rju means very simple. Everyone can perform it. Susukham kartum avyayam [Bg 9.2], in the Bhagavad-gita. Very happy. If you chant Hare Krsna and dance, it is very happy thing. And by dancing, dancing, as soon as you become hungry, take prasadam, ready. So where is the trouble? Therefore it is rjubhir yoga-margaih. Our Krsna consciousness movement is so nice there is no trouble only. And another thing is that there is great hope. Everything we are doing under the spell of maya, we do not know where we are going, what is the ultimate aim. We do not know. Prakrteh kriyamanani. We are under the spell of maya, driven by the gunas. You must accept. If you don't take to Krsna consciousness and give it ourselves on the waves of maya, then we do not know where we are going. The Caitanya..., Bhaktivinoda Thakura says, mayar bose, jaccho bhese', khaccho habudubu bhai. Just like a straw in the waves of the ocean or the river, it is fully under the control of the waves-sometimes diving, sometimes coming out, sometimes going this way, going that. Our position is like that. We do not know that prakrteh kriyamanani [Bg 3.27]. Under the material nature we are being carried by the waves of material nature, and you do not know where you are going, because you have no control.    (More...)

So this Krsna consciousness movement means to give them idea of real enjoyment. If... So real enjoyment means that when you are uncontaminated with this material body. Spiritual enjoyment. Now we are trying to enjoy with this body. The body is senses. Indriyani parany ahuh. Bodily enjoy means the sense enjoyment. Indriyani parany ahur indriyebhyah param manah, manasas tu para buddhih [Bg 3.42]. In this way we have to understand that this body is false; therefore the bodily enjoyment is also false. That they cannot understand. This is their misfortune. Therefore one who does not understand in the beginning of spiritual life that "I am not this body. I am different from body..." Then his spiritual life begins. Otherwise, cats and dogs and everyone is engaged with this bodily enjoyment. So long we shall be captivated by this bodily enjoyment, we are in the groups of animals. That's all.    (More...)
