# March 10 *Lectures from this day: 6 recordings* --- **[[spoken/670310sb.sf|SB 7.7.22-26 — March 10, 1967, San Francisco]]** **Prabhupāda:** > aṣṭau prakṛtayaḥ proktās > traya eva hi tad-guṇāḥ > vikārāḥ ṣoḍaśācāryaiḥ > pumān ekaḥ samanvayāt > [[sb/7/6/22|[SB. 7.6.22] ]] Now we are presenting self-analysis. What is that self? Prahlāda Mahārāja is describing. This is self-realization, Kṛṣṇa consciousness. A boy of five years old, because he has received the knowledge from the right source, he is presenting everything very competently and very scientifically. This is the beauty of knowledge received from the authorities. [pause] So we have discussed this *aṣṭau prakṛtayaḥ*..., eight different, differential elements, material elements. What is that? Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego. And these eight elements are described in the *Bhagavad-gītā* as separated energy. Separated energy you'll understand: just like I am speaking, and my speech is being recorded in the tape recorder. So even I am not here, if you apply the machine, it will exactly speak like me. That is my energy, but now it is separated. It cannot be changed. Suppose I am personally sitting here. If I want to speak something and I can change into another, but that machine cannot change. It will simply produce the sound, what is recorded there. Therefore it is separated energy. --- **[[spoken/680310in.sf|Initiation Lecture — March 10, 1968, San Francisco]]** **Prabhupāda:** Yes. **Chant.[devotee leads chanting] * [*kīrtana*] [*prema-dhvani*] Thank you very much.

Eh? **Prabhupāda:** So I think the *gṛhastha* themselves should form a small committee and define what they will do, instead of forcing something, because in this age, nobody can follow strictly all the stricture in the *śāstras.* **Tamāla Kṛṣṇa:** Any of our resolutions, it doesn't say anything about what they should do. It simply says what should..., how our Society should be run, our temples. It doesn't state anything about how the *gṛhasthas* should live. --- **[[spoken/760310sb.may|SB 7.9.32 — March 10, 1976, Māyāpur]]** **Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa:Translation:** "O my Lord, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, after annihilation, the creative energy is kept in Yourself, but the energy being put within Yourself, it appears that You are sleeping with half-closed eyes. Actually, there is no sleeping like an ordinary human being. You are always in the transcendental stage, beyond the creation of the material world, and You always feel in transcendental bliss. In this way, You, Kāraṇodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, remain in Your transcendental status, but although it appears that Kāraṇodakaśāyī Viṣṇu is sleeping, it is not that; sleeping distinct from sleeping in ignorance." **Prabhupāda:** > nyasyedam ātmani jagad vilayāmbu-madhye > śeṣetmanā nija-sukhānubhavo nirīhaḥ > yogena mīlita-dṛg-ātma-nipīta-nidras > turye sthito na tu tamo na guṇāṁś ca yuṅkṣe > [[sb/7/9/32|[SB. 7.9.32] ]] This is the position, transcendentally. How we use this word "transcendental," that is explained here, what is transcendental. *Turya. Turya,* the fourth dimension. Here, in this material world, there are three dimensions: length, breadth and height. And spiritual world, beyond that, not within the measurement of length, breadth and height, that is called *turya.* --- ## Letters - [[../../letters/1969/690310_brahmananda.md|Letter to Brahmananda, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1969/690310_madhusudana.md|Letter to Madhusudana, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1969/690310_purusottama.md|Letter to Purusottama, 1969]] - [[../../letters/1970/700310_japanese_brothers_and_sisters.md|Letter to Japanese Brothers And Sisters, 1970]] - [[../../letters/1971/710310_k._k._birla.md|Letter to K.
