Aug 4: So vedas are full of descriptions of Karma kanda, 95% actually. Means you do this yajna, you go to this loka, heavenly planets etc.
But once we understand that Krishna is the Supreme Absolute Truth, then we can close the vedas and come to the Upanishads. The sum and substance of which is the Bhagavad-Gita. And aiding to it is the Srimad Bhagavatam. In here, we understand that God is a person, as brahman form he is pervading everywhere, as paramatma He is in everyone. And when we know we are one with Him, but simultaneously His servant, then we come to Bhagavan realization.
Today everyone is suffering, why, because we want to be Krishna. So we come under 3 modes of material nature. But when we take to bhakti, we come under the protection of yoga maya, Srimati Radharani, then there is no misery.
People think that by material sense enjoyment, they will be happy. But that is not true and ppl do not know it. So how do we attain bhakti, only sravanam and kirtanam.
Unless we enjoy, we cannot continue. We need to get Krishna's mercy. Sometime or the other we will get realizations and that will help us go forward.
When we chant Hare Krishna Mahamantra, we are calling for Krishna and we are not asking for anything else other than service. Then Krishna feels indebted and He reveals to us through the mercy of Srimati Radharani.
Just keep Krishna in the center, there is no need to do anything else. That is the only way for us to go back hom back to Godhead.
