Thought Of The Day

Krsna consciousness is described by Krsna in the Bhagavad-gita, man-mana bhava mad-bhaktah. That's all. Always think of Me, man-manah, and bhava mad-bhaktah, be ready always to serve Me. Bhakta means, where there is bhakti and Bhagavan. Then bhakta. If there is no Bhagavan, and there is no activities to serve Bhagavan, there is no bhakta also. They are demons. So bhakta means there must be Bhagavan. Sevya, sevaka, and seva. Sevya sevaka seva, three things. Sevya means who is to be served, the master, sevya. And sevaka means the servant. If there is master and servant then there is seva. This seva is called bhakti. So, here mano-hrdaya-granthir asya karmanubaddho drdha aslatheta. When he decides no more these things. Ato grha-ksetra-sutapta-vittair janasya moho 'yam. When we understand that I am becoming more and more implicated, pumsah striya mithuni-bhavam etam [SB 5.5.8], by this sex desire I am becoming more and more implicated. This implication is engaging me more and more in karma, karmanubaddha. When we understand this, and try to get free from this business, then we become eligible for going back home back to Godhead. Tada janah samparivartate 'smad. Samparivartate, returns to his original position, asmat. And when he turns back towards back home, back to Godhead, then he is mukta. That is liberation.
