PURPORT
A strong faith that by Kåñëa consciousness one will be elevated to the
highest perfection of life is called vyavasäyätmikä intelligence. The
Caitanya-caritämåta (Madhya 22.62) states:
’çraddhä’-çabde——viçväsa kahe sudåòha niçcaya
kåñëe bhakti kaile sarva-karma kåta haya
Faith means unflinching trust in something sublime. When one is engaged
in the duties of Kåñëa consciousness, he need not act in relationship to the
material world with obligations to family traditions, humanity, or nationality.
Fruitive activities are the engagements of one’s reactions from past good or bad
deeds. When one is awake in Kåñëa consciousness, he need no longer endeavor
for good results in his activities. When one is situated in Kåñëa consciousness,
all activities are on the absolute plane, for they are no longer subject to
dualities like good and bad. The highest perfection of Kåñëa consciousness is
renunciation of the material conception of life. This state is automatically
achieved by progressive Kåñëa consciousness.
The resolute purpose of a person in Kåñëa consciousness is based on
knowledge. Väsudevaù sarvam iti sa mahätmä su-durlabhaù: a person in Kåñëa
consciousness is the rare good soul who knows perfectly that Väsudeva, or
Kåñëa, is the root of all manifested causes. As by watering the root of a tree
one automatically distributes water to the leaves and branches, so by acting in
Kåñëa consciousness one can render the highest service to everyone—namely
self, family, society, country, humanity, etc. If Kåñëa is satisfied by one’s
actions, then everyone will be satisfied.
Service in Kåñëa consciousness is, however, best practiced under the able
guidance of a spiritual master who is a bona fide representative of Kåñëa, who
knows the nature of the student and who can guide him to act in Kåñëa
consciousness. As such, to be well versed in Kåñëa consciousness one has to act
firmly and obey the representative of Kåñëa, and one should accept the
instruction of the bona fide spiritual master as one’s mission in life. Çréla
Viçvanätha Cakravarté Öhäkura instructs us, in his famous prayers for the
spiritual master, as follows:
yasya prasädäd bhagavat-prasädo
yasyäprasädän na gatiù kuto ’pi
dhyäyan stuvaàs tasya yaças tri-sandhyaà
vande guroù çré-caraëäravindam
yasyäprasädän na gatiù kuto ’pi
dhyäyan stuvaàs tasya yaças tri-sandhyaà
vande guroù çré-caraëäravindam
“By satisfaction of the spiritual master, the Supreme Personality of
Godhead becomes satisfied. And by not satisfying the spiritual master, there is
no chance of being promoted to the plane of Kåñëa consciousness. I should,
therefore, meditate and pray for his mercy three times a day, and offer my
respectful obeisances unto him, my spiritual master.”
The whole process, however, depends on perfect knowledge of the soul
beyond the conception of the body—not theoretically but practically, when
there is no longer a chance for sense gratification manifested in fruitive
activities. One who is not firmly fixed in mind is diverted by various types of
fruitive acts.
