eggs, horses [no such thing]

In Bengal the word ghoda-dimba is used, which means "the egg of a horse." Since a horse never lays an egg, the word ghoda-dimba actually has no meaning. In Sanskrit there is a word kha-puspa, which means "the flower in the sky." No flower grows in the sky; therefore no one is interested in asking for kha-puspa or ghoda-dimba. During the reign of Maharaja Rsabhadeva, people were so well equipped that they did not want to ask for anything. They were immensely supplied with all necessities for life due to King Rsabhadeva's good government. Consequently everyone felt full satisfaction and did not want anything. This is the perfection of government. If the citizens are unhappy due to bad government, the heads of government are condemned. During these democratic days, monarchy is disliked by the people, but here is an example of how an emperor of the whole world kept all the citizens fully satisfied by supplying the necessities of life and following the Vedic principles. Thus everyone was happy during the reign of Maharaja Rsabhadeva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. (More...)

So we are thinking that we are better situated. No, we are not better situated. Our the principle is the same, that you come here, you accept a certain type of body, and whole night, or whole life... Night means ignorance, darkness. So in ignorance you go on struggling whole life, and then you become dead, finished. The same thing. There is no difference between the life of the insect... Therefore Prabodhananda Sarasvati says that, that the..., these big, big demigods... Yat karunya-kataksa-vaibhavavatam. There is a verse; I just now forget it. Kaivalyam narakayate [Caitanya-candramrta ]. Prabodhananda Sarasvati says that kaivalya, the impersonalists' theory of becoming one, monist, with the Absolute... That is called kaivalya. So he says, kaivalyam narakayate: "For a devotee who has got little favor of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, for him, this kaivalya-sukha, happiness of becoming one with the Supreme, is as good as the hell." Kaivalyam narakayate. And tri-dasa-pura akasa-puspayate. Tri-dasa-pura means where thirty-three millions of demigods live, heavenly planets, it is something like phantasmagoria, akasa-puspa, which has... Just like in Bengal they say, jokingly, ghodara dima. Ghodar dima means a ghoda, a horse, never gives eggs. It is fantastics. It is not possible. Similarly, these heavenly planets, for a Vaisnava, is ghodar dima. They don't care for it. It is no fact. (More...)
