Prabhupāda: deho, geho, jo kichu mor. mānasa, deho, geho, jo kichu mor. This is a song sung by Bhaktivinode Ṭhākur. He is teaching the process of full surrender. Mānasa, deho, geho, jo kichu mor. First of all, he is surrendering the mind, because mind is the origin of all kinds of speculations; and surrendering, rendering devotional service means first controlling the mind. Therefore he says mānasa, means “mind,” then deha: “senses.” Śarīra. Deha means this body; body means senses. So, if we surrender the mind unto the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, then automatically the senses also become surrendered. Then, “my home.” Deha, geho. Geho means home. Jo kichu mor. Our all possessions are comprising these three things: mind, body and our home. So Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura proposes to surrender everything. Arpilū tuwā pade, nanda-kiśor. Nanda-kiśor is Kṛṣṇa. So “I am surrendering my mind, my body and my home unto You.” Now, sampade vipade, jīvane-maraṇe: “Either I am in happiness or I am in distress, either I am in living condition or I am dead.” Dāy mama gelā, tuwā o-pada baraṇe:“ Now I am relieved. I am feeling relief because I have surrendered unto You everything.” Mārobi rākhobi-jo icchā tohārā: “Now it is up to You whether You like to keep me or You want to kill me; that depends on You.” Nitya-dāsa prati tuwā adhikārā: “You have got every right to do whatever You think right in relation with Your servant. ...

Prabhupāda: Law of relativity, just explain what is that. Svarūpa Dāmodara: Everything in this material world is all relative. Nothing is absolute. For example, time and space, these are all relative terms; there is nothing absolute. That means something is bigger than something. If you compare two things, like small ball and the big ball, the big ball is big enough compared with the small one. Same thing, if you compare the length of certain pole, that length will be relative to a certain standard. So everything is related. Prabhupāda: So on the strength of law of relativity, you have to express God. Devotee: So far I have only experienced how this material world is relative. Prabhupāda: Yes. Devotee: And God is absolute. Prabhupāda: Yes. God is only absolute. Everything relative. God is great; that is absolute. Otherwise anything, it is great or…small, small. Devotee: Because compared to Him, everything is very small. Prabhupāda: Yes. Absolute, means there must be relative also.

Prabhupāda: This is very interesting verse. [laughs] [laughter] To have very charming wife is not very good. [chuckles] And in your country you have got all charming wives. Cāṇakya Paṇḍita says that there are four kinds of enemies in family life. These are very experienced version. He says, mātā śatru. In family means we live with father, mother, wife, children. This is family. In your country family does not mean father-mother, only wife and children. But in our country, according to Vedic civilization, family is a large conception: father, mother, brother, sister, sister’s son, brother’s son. If there are difficulty, one has to [indistinct]. So on the whole, father, mother, wife and children, consisting of, family. Now Cāṇakya Paṇḍita says, “In the family there are enemies.” How? Ṛṇa-kartā pitā śatruḥ. Cāṇakya Paṇḍita said, “A father who is a great debtor, he is enemy.” Because the son inherits the money of the father, similarly, the law is that if the father dies a debtor, the son becomes responsible to pay the debts. That is the law, Manu-saṁhitā. I do not know what is the law here. I don’t think the son is responsible for paying the debts of father, but in India that is the law.

Prabhupāda: Ah. Anye te ajānantaḥ. Generally, people, they do not know what is the value of spiritual knowledge. Mūḍha. They have been called as mūḍha. And duṣkṛtina. Duṣkṛtina means always engaged in sinful activities. If you do not have Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then your eating, sleeping or walking, whatever you are doing, it is all sinful. All sinful. You do not know how you are becoming responsible for killing so many ants while you are walking. You are walking, you do not know… We have seen, so many ants are loitering on the street, and you are killing. That means you are responsible. You cannot kill even a single ant. So therefore, unless you come to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, whatever you are acting in your daily life, it is sinful. And you are becoming complicated, involved. This is the… Padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadām. This world is so made that in every step you are creating some dangerous position. Padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadām. This material world is like that. Bhuñjate te aghaṁ pāpā ye pacanty ātma-kāraṇāt. Generally, people, they cook for themselves nice, palatable foodstuffs for eating and enjoying. But they do not know that they are eating all sinful reaction. Bhuñjate te aghaṁ pāpā ye pacanty ātma-kāraṇāt. What is the difference between this house and the next house? Here we cook for Kṛṣṇa, not for ourselves. Therefore we are being saved. Otherwise, if you don’t cook for Kṛṣṇa, if you cook for yourself, then ...

So, Kṛṣṇa, the original Personality of Godhead—sākṣāt, not imagination. Here it is said, sa eva jīva-lokasya māyā sākṣād… Here, yes, yes. Tvam ādyaḥ puruṣaḥ sākṣād īśvaraḥ. Sākṣāt, directly. Not indirectly. Just like we are meeting face to face. It is not that I am imagining. Face to face, sākṣāt. Sa-akṣa. Akṣa means eyes or senses. With senses. Kṛṣṇa cannot be seen with these material senses. Ataḥ śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāmādi na bhaved grāhyam indriyaiḥ. It is not possible to experience Kṛṣṇa by our these material blunt senses. It is not possible. We have to make purified. How it is purified? Sevonmukhe hi jihvādau svayam eva sphuraty adaḥ. When you engage yourself in the service of the Lord, sevonmukha—“Kṛṣṇa, I want to serve You”—this much wanted, qualification. No educational qualification, no Ph.D. degree or to take birth in very high family or to become rich. Nothing. Simply a true feeling, desire: “Kṛṣṇa, so long I remained forgetting You. Now, somehow or other, I’ve come to the sense that You are everything. By hearing from my guru, or the spiritual master, or from the śāstra…” Sādhu-śāstra. Sat-saṅga-sādhu-śāstra. Lava-mātra sādhu-saṅge sarva-siddhi haya. Caitanya Mahāprabhu said, ‘sādhu-saṅga’, ‘sādhu-saṅga’—sarva-śāstre kaya lava-mātra sādhu-saṅge sarva-siddhi haya It is required, sādhu-saṅga. Then if he meets sādhu… By one or two ...
