Pradyumna: (leads chanting, etc.)

 

srnvatam sva-kathah krsnah

punya-sravana-kirtanah

hrdy antah-stho hy abhadrani

vidhunoti suhrt satam

[sB 1.2.17]

 

Translation: "Sri Krsna, the Personality of Godhead, who is the Paramatma,

Supersoul, in everyone's heart and the benefactor of the truthful devotee,

cleanses desire for material enjoyment from the heart of the devotee who

relishes His messages, which are in themselves virtuous when properly heard and

chanted."

 

Prabhupada:

 

srnvatam sva-kathah krsnah

punya-sravana-kirtanah

hrdy antah-stho hy abhadrani

vidhunoti suhrt satam

[sB 1.2.17]

 

There is a English proverb that "God helps him who tries to help himself."

That is a English proverb. So to become Krsna conscious is not very difficult

thing. People have no taste. They do not understand the importance of this Krsna

consciousness movement. But this is the only way by which one can become perfect

and happy.

 

It is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita that just to become happy and

peaceful one has to learn three things.

 

bhoktaram yajna-tapasam

sarva-loka-mahesvaram

suhrdam sarva-bhutanam

jnatva mam santim rcchati

[bg. 5.29]

 

If you want... Because the problem is that we want to be happy and

peaceful. Everyone says, "I want peace. There is no peace in my mind." That is a

general understanding. Nobody can say that "I am completely happy and peaceful."

No, that is not possible. The material world is made in such a way that you

cannot feel happy. That is not possible. First of all, we have come to this

material world to enjoy sense gratification, but that is not our proper

business. Our proper business is to satisfy the senses of Krsna, not our senses.

So because we have deviated from our original position, therefore it is always a

perplexity of our life. But due to illusion we cannot understand it.

 

 

and when the intelligence is purified, hrdy antah-stho hy abhadrani,

purified, simply by hearing about Krsna, then immediately you are raised to the

platform of spiritual life. This is the process.

srnvatam sva-kathah krsnah

punya-sravana-kirtanah

hrdy antah-stho hy abhadrani

vidhunoti suhrt satam

[sB 1.2.17]

 

He is very intimate friend of the sadhus, of the devotees. He is

everyone's friend. Suhrdam sarva-bhutanam. He's everyone's friend. God, Krsna,

He's everyone's friend, but He's a special friend for the devotees. That is

stated in the Bhagavad-gita. He says,

 

-------samo 'ham sarva-bhutesu

na me dvesyo 'sti na priyah

ye bhajanti tu mam bhaktya

mayi te tesu capy aham

 

Priyah tesu te mayi: because He's God, He's kind to everyone; without His

kindness, we cannot live for a moment. That is a fact. But if one becomes a

devotee, He gives special protection. Kaunteya pratijanihi na me bhaktah

pranasyati. So therefore this human form of life is a special prerogative for

the living entity, and if we take advantage of it and simply try to hear about

Krsna, then our life is successful.

 

Thank you very much. (end)
