KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM HH HARIVILAS MAHARAJ’S MORNING BHAGAVATAM CLASS ON SB 2.7.47 – Part 3 TODAY (11/03/21):
- The relationship with the Lord is never broken; thus there is no grief and no fear. Such happiness is inexplicable by words, and there can be no attempt to generate such happiness by fruitive activities by arrangements and sacrifices.
- The unbroken happiness exchanged with the Supreme Person, the Personality of Godhead as described in this verse, transcends the impersonal conception of the Upaniṣads.
- In the Upaniṣads the description is more or less negation of the material conception of things, but this is not denial of the transcendental senses of the Supreme Lord.
- The word śuddham indicates that the senses of the Personality of Godhead are not made of the material elements; they are all transcendental, free from all contamination of material identification.
- The liberated souls are not devoid of senses; otherwise there cannot be any reciprocation of unhampered spiritual happiness exchanged between them in spontaneous unbroken joy.
- All the senses, both of the Lord and of the devotees, are without material contamination.
- They are beyond the material cause and effects. The illusory, material energy cannot work there, being ashamed before the Lord and His transcendental devotees.
- In the material world the sense activities are not without grief, but here it is clearly said that the senses of the Lord and the devotees are without any grief.
- There is a distinct difference between the material and spiritual senses. And one should understand it without denying the spiritual senses because of a material conception
SB 2.7.47 – 11/03/21
What is realized as the Absolute Brahman is full of unlimited bliss without grief. That is certainly the ultimate phase of the supreme enjoyer, the Personality of Godhead. He is eternally void of all disturbances and is fearless. He is complete consciousness as opposed to matter. Uncontaminated and without distinctions, He is the principle primeval cause of all causes and effects, in whom there is no sacrifice for fruitive activities and in whom the illusory energy does not stand.
SP describes this verse as “this verse is all about the unlimited bliss without grief and it is an exposition of the unbroken happiness exchanged with Krsna” – This verse is a very very special verse and purport. This verse is giving a window of view of the fifth dimension. There are 5 amazing dimensions of consciousness. This is explained in 13th chapter BG. BG 13.5 – called Brahma Pucham.
BG 13.5
As stated before, kṣetra is the field of activities, and there are two kinds of kṣetra-jña: the individual living entity and the supreme living entity. As stated in the Taittirīya Upaniṣad (2.5), brahma pucchaṁ pratiṣṭhā. There is a manifestation of the Supreme Lord’s energy known as anna-maya, dependence upon food for existence. This is a materialistic realization of the Supreme. Then, in prāṇa-maya, after realizing the Supreme Absolute Truth in food, one can realize the Absolute Truth in the living symptoms or life forms. In jñāna-maya, realization extends beyond the living symptoms to the point of thinking, feeling and willing. Then there is Brahman realization, called vijñāna-maya, in which the living entity’s mind and life symptoms are distinguished from the living entity himself. The next and supreme stage is ānanda-maya, realization of the all-blissful nature. Thus there are five stages of Brahman realization, which are called brahma puccham.
This verse explains the Ananda maya – all blissful nature.. Unending bliss, with no grief and no fear. It is not something based on plumbing. That is the description of the genitalia of people.. People think through this genitalia one can achieve some ecstasy. That is not how people can achieve ecstasy in the spiritual world. Therefore hearing about Krsna’s loving pastimes with the Gopis should not be done until one is free from the plumbing concept of sense gratification. It has nothing to do with that. What is this transcendental ecstasy? Well it is felt in the body in the spiritual body and not the material body. It is something connected through bodily movements of Krsna;s body, his eyelashes, smile, and different facial expressions. It could be in one sense like the facial and bodily expressions of BHaratanatyam dancers.. In the spiritual world, there is a spiritual body.. Spiritual senses.
You will not get it through the plumbing.. Everyone wants the unending bliss but does not want to follow the process given to get there.
As such, there is an unlimited flow of everlasting happiness, without the fear of its being broken as we have experienced here in the material world. The relationship with the Lord is never broken; thus there is no grief and no fear. Such happiness is inexplicable by words, and there can be no attempt to generate such happiness by fruitive activities by arrangements and sacrifices. But we must also know that happiness, unbroken happiness exchanged with the Supreme Person, the Personality of Godhead as described in this verse, transcends the impersonal conception of the Upaniṣads.
The relationship with Krsna is never broken – We can walk away from Krsna. But HE never walks away from us. He is present as Paramatma in our heart and is always guiding us. Imagine living without grief and fear. These two things are omnipresent in the material world but not in the spiritual world. These statements in this paragraph are phenomenal..
Upanishads do not explain this unending bliss.. Nor is it there in the Bible or Quran.. Muslims do not agree that Jesus is the son of God, they just say he is a messenger. That is they believe cannot have children as he cannot have sex like man beings. But that does not mean that GOD cannot have a son. If you try to understand the supreme absolute truth with mundane logic and reason. You will always make mistakes. Michael Angelo painted the God picture with wrinkles and grey hair. The pope told him. They do not have the correct understanding of supreme absolute truth.. Christians bury dead bodies. So there can be resurrection. Christianity has much more transcendetal stuff than Islam or Judaism.
Bin Laden’s body was thrown in the ocean. Dead bodies were wrapped in Pig skin and buried..
Anytime you say GOD cannot do this and do that then you made a mistake.
The Television program of Maharaj – Salim and Sikh agreed that God does not have a body and does not have a son. Maharaj said – If you say God does not have Body then you are insulting God.
In the Upaniṣads the description is more or less negation of the material conception of things, but this is not denial of the transcendental senses of the Supreme Lord.
Atmavan manyate – you project your limitations to God. God is not like us at all. Material conceptions of life – Forgetfulness of Lord Krsna, everything that follows is ignorance. False hope of achieving material peace, happiness and love. They sugar coat it. Would you eat an ant? Would you eat chocolate covered ant.. You might eat it… This is the way they sell things. It is a trick. This is the deception that is happening all the time..
Material conception of life – BOOKLET written by Maharaj??
Herein also the same is affirmed in the statement that the Supreme Lord is pure (śuddham). The word śuddham indicates that the senses of the Personality of Godhead are not made of the material elements; they are all transcendental, free from all contamination of material identification. And also the liberated souls are not devoid of senses; otherwise there cannot be any reciprocation of unhampered spiritual happiness exchanged between them in spontaneous unbroken joy. All the senses, both of the Lord and of the devotees, are without material contamination. They are so because they are beyond the material cause and effects, as clearly mentioned herein (sad-asataḥ param). The illusory, material energy cannot work there, being ashamed before the Lord and His transcendental devotees. In the material world the sense activities are not without grief, but here it is clearly said that the senses of the Lord and the devotees are without any grief. There is a distinct difference between the material and spiritual senses. And one should understand it without denying the spiritual senses because of a material conception
If the senses were only material it is not possible to transform or change them into spiritual things which they are not. Our senses are transcendental. That is why it is possible to reagan functioning spiritual senses even in the material body.. Sanjaya is able to see what is happening in Kurukshetra.
Material world is also spiritual apara prakriti. It is Inferior spiritual energy.

They say that there is nothing after death. Everyday we are dying when we sleep. Then you wake up and you are there again.
False promises of scientists – one day we will create an AI computer which loves or shows affection.
Can the computer love someone, express affection? They can program the computer. Does that mean the computer loves you. All you need to do is to take the battery off the computer and it will no longer say the love you phrases. Just like if there is no Sun then everything dies away. The sun has be pouring out unlimited energy
The senses in the material world are surcharged with material ignorance. In every way, the authorities have recommended purification of the senses from the material conception. In the material world the senses are manipulated for individual and personal satisfaction, whereas in the spiritual world the senses are properly used for the purpose for which they were originally meant, namely the satisfaction of the Supreme Lord. Such sensual activities are natural, and therefore sense gratification there is uninterrupted and unbroken by material contamination because the senses are spiritually purified. And such satisfaction of the senses is equally shared by the transcendental reciprocators. Since the activities are unlimited and constantly increasing, there is no scope for material attempts or artificial arrangements. Such happiness of transcendental quality is called brahma-saukhyam, which will be clearly described in the Fifth Canto.
