# February 3 *Lectures from this day: 6 recordings* --- **[[../../spoken/1967/670203cc.sf.md|Cc. Ādi 7.49-65 — February 3, 1967, San Francisco]]** *[Lecture file not found]* --- **[[spoken/750203bg.hon|Bg 16.7 — February 3, 1975, Honolulu]]** **Nitāi:** *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. **O**ṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.* [devotees repeat] [leads chanting of verse, etc.] "Those who are demoniac do not know what is to be done and what is not to be done. Neither cleanliness nor proper behavior nor truth is found in them." **Prabhupāda:** > pravṛttiṁ ca nivṛttiṁ ca > janā na vidur āsurāḥ > na śaucaṁ nāpi cācāro > na satyaṁ teṣu vidyate > [[bg/16/7|[Bg. 16.7] ]] --- **[[spoken/750203mw.hon|Morning Walk — February 3, 1975, Honolulu]]** **Prabhupāda:** Under Kṛṣṇa's plan. Therefore you cannot violate nature's law. As soon as you violate nature's law, then you will be punished. [pause] **Prabhupāda:** *...guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśaḥ* [[bg/3/27|[Bg. 3.27] ]]. Yes, and *prakṛti* is working under the direction of Kṛṣṇa. That means..., nature's law means Kṛṣṇa's law or Kṛṣṇa's plan. So what is the Kṛṣṇa's plan? What Kṛṣṇa wants? **Prabhupāda:** Thank you. This is the plan. If this plan is not executed, then there is suffering. So this human life is given to the living entity for understanding this plan and do the needful. If they do not understand, then they are punished. [break] --- **[[spoken/760203mw.may|Morning Walk — February 3, 1976, Māyāpur]]** **Prabhupāda:** Then?** Spriritual advancement. That is India's philosophy. Throughout the whole universe. Not only on this planet but throughout the whole universe. India has got the facility—Bhārata-varṣa. Therefore Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, *bhārata-bhūmite haila manuṣya-janma haila yāra.* [Cc Ādi*9.41*]. If somebody has got this opportunity of to take birth in India, Bhārata-varṣa, he is the right person to distribute the real knowledge, *para-upakāra*. Otherwise they are in darkness. *Bhārata-bhūmite haila manuṣya-janma jāra.* So, Jayapatākā Mahārāja, explain this. You have got practical experience. **Jayapatākā:** *Bhārata-bhūmite haila manuṣya-janma haila yāra.* Those people who are born on the sacred land of Bhārata-varṣa, they should perfect their life, *janma sārthaka kari',* and help others. Purpose of Kṛṣṇa consciousness is to perfect one's own spiritual knowledge and then to go and help other people. So people that are born here in Bhārata-varṣa have a special facility because of the Vedic culture, Āryan culture, to perfect their lives. And just as Śrīla Prabhupāda has gone all over the world spreading the Kṛṣṇa consciousness—one person from this Bhārata-varṣa has been able to do so much—if other pure devotees would come and preach as Śrīla Prabhupāda has done, then how many unlimited amount of fallen souls could receive the benefit of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. [break] **Prabhupāda:** ...in so-called transcendental meditation, go to the Himalaya and go to the forest. We are not interested in all this nonsense. Our only business is to spread *Bhagavad-gītā as it is,* door to door, town to town, city to city. We are not going to seclusion. Prahlāda Mahārāja said, "This is professional bluff: 'I am going to the Himalaya. I am going to the forest.'" Prahlāda Mahārāja condemns, that "These are professional bluffs." Or they may be sincere, but still, they are trying for their own salvation. Prahlāda Mahārāja said, "I am not interested in that sal... I am interested for everyone's salvation. Everyone must go back to home, back to..." That is Vaiṣṇava. Not that "For my own salvation I go to Himalaya or in the forest and transcendental meditation," nonsense. We are not interested in those things. [laughs] And our men... Just like that Gaurasundara. He is doing all nonsense, transcendental meditation.
