Devotional Service Without Any Check

0:00Prabhupāda: ...yenātmā samprasīdati. Yena-ātmā samprasīdati SB 1.2.6

Formula for pleasing the self

0:09If you want to please yourself... Everyone is trying to please himself, but here is the formula = yenātmā samprasīdati. Ātmā means soul, the Supersoul, the mind and the body also.

Different meanings of atma

0:43According to the different position, the ātmā is accepted in different angles of vision.

0:53But on the whole, we are searching after bodily comforts, mental peace, and satisfaction of the soul and satisfaction of the Supersoul.

Devotional service as topmost religion

1:11So this is the only process. Yato bhaktir adhokṣaje. If you engage yourself in devotional service, bhakti, sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo... SB 1.2.6And that is the topmost system of religion.

1:38There are different religious systems, different parts of the world, of the universe. But the real purpose of religion is yato bhaktir adhokṣaje, how to become engaged in the service of the Lord.

Unconditional and spontaneous service

1:59That is religion. And this service of the Lord cannot be checked. Ahaituky apratihatā. It is not that for certain reason one has to engage himself in devotional service. It is spontaneous.

2:26And apratihatā, without any check.

Performing kirtan in any climate

2:33Just like we are sitting down here, there is no check. Anywhere we can sit down. Of course, sometimes the climatic condition different, but there are different climates also.

2:57In India we have got almost all the year climate like this, except in the rainy season—that is also not constantly.

3:11Therefore India is supposed to be the best place for developing Kṛṣṇa consciousness, because the climate is very suitable. So here also, now this climate.

3:31It is not conditional, but you can perform service, kīrtana, without any check.

Chanting without material conditions

3:42Not that we have to live in that palace, then we can chant. No. We can live..., we can sit down underneath a tree and chant. There is no limit. We can go on.

4:00So we have to adjust things in such a way that without any condition, without any check, we can go on with our devotional service. Just like we can sit down here or anywhere. Here is the opportunity. This land is very good.

4:32You can sit down anywhere and chant this Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra. There is no need of chair or cushion or nothing else. Ahaituky apratihatā. Any condition.

Easiest method for highest perfection

4:48And yenātmā samprasīdati, that will please your everything—your heart, your mind, your body, your soul, everything. Yenātmā samprasīdati. This is the easiest method for achieving the highest perfection of life.

5:12So go on with this process without any check and be happy. Thank you very much.
