Nectar Points 1 : Mind control By H.H.Devamrita swami

  • Sex life destroys finer tissues , thus mind becomes dull and spiritual issues cannot be understood
    Successful materialistic life means satistying tongue & genitals
    How to tell that falldown has been accidental or premeditated?
    Sp : only Spiritual master can tell not easy to discover
  • Api cet suducharo verse is not for ordinary devotees , neophytes, its for highly advanced devotees, so we have to be careful ,
  • Ajamila's falldown was accidental falldown , so we should not disrespect him or compare ourself with ajamila
  • The questions in bhagvatam are as important as the answers , that will guide us to focus properly .
  • Don’t think that as thinking in mind has no reactions I can think whatever I want , mental deviation precedes physical deviation , dhayate visayan pumsa , nip it in the bud
  • You have to sumbit your mind to training , krsanize it , only rituals will not yield you results,
  • We are not ashamed of begging to material energy for comforts but don’t want to beg to krsna
  • When we r chewing the chewed and don’t get any taste we start finding taste in the skin like skin of lemon , orange & say o I never tasted that its so nice, we are in total darkness but we imagine we r seeing
  • The Job of material energy is to cheat you , we thing material energy will provide us money & respect if we work hard & get a good boss, it will give us perfect partner who can understand us perfectly , but that's not the reality.
  • Who says I have no determination , but see even though u have been frustrated by material energy so many times but u still don’t give ur material tendency for sense gratification.
  • Karmic activity means : I shall act for my pleasure,
  • We think the materialistic goals I have are not so bad , I am not working for mafia or something
  • Our peace formula , krsna I am chanting ur name provide me all my material necesseties and fulfill all my material desire
  • As you progress in bhakti that physical association of spiritual master is not so intense as the association of his instructions his vani why is that ? Generally there is a problem with physical things , they appear & disappear , sometimes u get sometimes not , so an intelligent devotee can get constant association through vani .
  • The intelligent devotee never thinks I am serving krsna enough , always looking for service more & more , tries to improve his service more and more , This is the luxury of a devotee that his illuminations keeps on increasing more and more as he progresses in dev.service.
  • When we engage in sense gratification we are shaping our mind which troubles us later its like making ur own prison.
    Krsna has much better gifts for us but we are not willing to take them .
  • The 1 st mistake we identify with body & mind it opens the door for mode of passion , intense longing & no satisfaction , frustration in end , u get bitter feeling, crying moan lament & search for friends to console u .
  • The mind is abusing us , pushing us troubling us but we cant give it up bcos we don’t know anything better than that so a bhakti yoga & association of devotees is a very imp .
  • One has to be humble enough to admit that I am being abused by my mind .
  • Uddhava :Since sense objects & mind are embedded deeply how to get out of this loop ?
    Krsna says think of me , engage in my service then only its is possible to get out of this loop .
  • But don’t become overly confident , material life is like walking on land mines , be very careful
  • Just like a husband is careful not to get allured by other woman as a sign of his love towards wife , its not simply out of fear , its out of love , u avoid sense gratification to avoid jeopardizing ur relationship with krsna ,
    We are fearful of maya but that intelligent fear is a sign of love , we want to protect our bhakti lata that’s intelligence.

Being careful in the material world is a sign of spiritual intelligence.

Pray to krsna to appreciate devotees in their vareigatedness.

Being krsna conscious means being conscious of krsna 's part & parcels also.

Devotional service gives pleasure , nourishment satisfatcion just like when u eat food it gives pleasure , nourishment & satisfaction.

By serving krsna & not thinking about you , u will be relived of all ur sufferings ,

Material sufferings are bcos of material desires, u have the pain of wanting & even when u get ur frustrated it’s a holocaust , dev.service gives u relief.

Instead of shaping the mind through material desires shape it according to devotional principles.

Even lord chaitanya used to take consultation from vaisanavas , he is the supreme bhakti teacher .

We should not go to vrindavan for getting material fame prestige amongst devotees

Swarup damodar, gadadhar pandit , haridas thakur never went so we should be very careful while doing things .
