Bhaktivedanta Manor’s week-long celebrations of Srila Prabhupada continued with Giriraj Swami reading and speaking from Srimad-Bhagavatam 10.2.31 in the morning class.
“Srutakirti prabhu asked Srila Prabhupada, ‘We know that you have preserved basic principles that have come to us through scripture and parampara and made adjustments only in the details. Now, how do we distinguish what is a principle and what is a detail?’ Srila Prabhupada paused and replied, ‘That requires some intelligence.’ It is not so easy, and it is not for us to do. It is for empowered acharyas like Srila Prabhupada to do.”

Well, it’s a boxcar, so I had to take a photo of it. I’ve been through here four times, and have photographed it with each pass. This was my first with film, though. You can see an old doctored one here, taken in 2004.
I don’t seem too chatty this week. I apologize.

Srimati Radharani is the perfect answer to all of Krsna’s desires. Only she can fully satisfy the desires of Krsna. We cannot do so, even though we may come to a point of pure dedication, even when we come to that point, still, we are better off in the role of assistants of the assistants of Srimati Radharani, gopī-bhartuḥ pada-kamalayor dāsa-dāsānudāsaḥ (CC Madhya 13.80). The pure devotees understand that they don’t have the same capacity to please Krsna as Srimati Radharani has. That’s why they become the assistant of the assistant of Srimati Radharani.

Of all the holy places in the universe, Vrindavan is most sacred. Of all sacred places in Vrindavan, Govardhan Hill is supreme. The topmost places on Govardhan Hill are Radha kunda and Syama kunda. Our great fortune was to traverse such transcendental grounds - all the while begging for mercy.

Brahmā: How can I personally realize all these things?
Hari: You must certainly investigate them to the fullest extent!
Brahmā: How?
Hari: By inquiring.
Brahmā: From who?
Hari: From individuals who have themselves comprehended these truths.
Brahmā: How did they realize these truths?
Hari: By their own investigative inquiry.
Brahmā: From who?
Hari: From those who inquired before them.
Brahmā: Does this chain of inquiry have an origin?
Hari: I am the origin. It is only by my mercy that anyone can realize anything about me, who am beyond everyone. My mercy spreads out in the world through those who have already availed themselves of it.
To put it simply, I am saying that you will learn the method of realizing these truths by inquiring from one who has already realized, guru. Without receiving my mercy through this channel, it’s not possible to comprehend me by independent conjecture.
Brahmā: How should I inquire?
Hari: Always and everywhere, directly and indirectly.
Brahmā: Would you elaborate on “always and everywhere”?
Hari: There is no circumstance in which you cannot strive for me. No matter who you are, where you are, when you are, or what your condition is – pious or impious – you can always immediately strive for me via sincere inquiry and investigation.
Another implication is that the process of searching for me is itself transcendental and eternal. Even in perfection, the essence of this adventure does not cease.
Brahmā: Would you elaborate on “directly and indirectly.”
Hari: Inquire directly: “What am I?”, and indirectly: “What am I not?” Directly: “What is the Absolute Truth?” Indirectly: “What is ignorance of the Absolute Truth?” Inquire about the value of my love, and the worthlessness not having my love. Inquire about the direct taste of my love when united with me, and the indirect taste of my love when separated from me.
