Varnashrama System

Verse 1.15.39 (Sundari Mataji):

* SP is commenting very nicely on the Varnashrama system mentioned in the Vedic System.
* The scientific system of varṇāśrama-dharma divides the human life into four divisions of occupation and four orders of life. The four orders of life as brahmacārī, grhastha, vānaprastha and sannyāsī are to be followed by all, irrespective of the occupational division.
* Grhasthaashrama = raising the family in a Krishna Conscious way. From the beginning we need to prepare to enter into the Vanaprastha life, for self realization. Cause that is the goal of human life.
* Otherwise we will be entangled in material situations. Only one person can remove us from here, that is Krishna.
* For that we must cry for Krishna's help as much as a baby cries for its mother, cause it is absolutely dependent on its mother. Then that will really attract the mercy of Krishna!
* "Temporary inconvenience for Permanent convenience", is the false promise of Maya.
* What we have to understand is that if we live simply, then we can divert our energies to main purpose of human life.
* In the US, usually it is a very luxurious life. But in the bad economic condition, ppl are not able to adjust cause they are so used to the luxurious life, attached to material temporary happiness.
* Attachment to service is what we need to develop.
* It doesn't matter where u are, just stay where you are and try to understand Krishna, serve Him, then you will go back for sure... CC
* Chant to attract the mercy of Krishna and be happy!
