Acharya compare this material world like ocean...from a distant it look attractive but the moment you go inside its very precarious place..very very dangerous.
So thakur mentions..
The first thing he gets confronted is -tidal waves
3 miseries -adibhautik, adijaivik, adhyatmic.
So, he gets tired , frustrated from this struggle..this tribulations so he drinks this water ..which is salty..material sense gratification... But it actually increases his thirst instead of quenching.
Then he tries to mingle with aquatic animals..that is octopus, sharks etc which are compared to relatives.
So afterwards he tries to save himself from this situation...catching some straw in ocean... That is karma kanda..
The only hope we have..is strong boat which can lead us towards destination... That is KC boat..and the captain is spiritual master because he knows the path.
So, prabhu life..why should u take KC?
Young age, handsome, nice salary..but nowhere he found security..freedom from material struggle..tides kicking.
Jadabharat to rahuguna-
Sense gratification 3 attributes:
1. Kama madhulubhana- yes there is happiness but it very insignificant.
Ex. Zen master meditation camp..observing fast then grape plate came to break the fast..so everybody disciplines waiting for master's order but he came and said you can take just one grape..so it does not satisfy our thirst.
2. Very big sacrifices to gain this happiness. Big big arrangements.
Lots of examples like private jet to get some fried chicken from africe, a rixh person from Britain do this...just for insignificant happiness.
3. Reactions? Very significant price one has to pay.
Suffer in so many planets..which you cant avoid.
1. Stika prabhu telling once..the reason why we fell down in this material world-
We are like glowworms..so the light of glowworms is nothing in comparison to Krishna's effulgence so it has to go to some dark place. So with our little free will we have come to this dark world to enjoy that little happiness.
2. 3 class of intelligent ppl-
We come in the third/4th class (rupa goswami).
KC is very very simple...but the amount of happiness one gets is like an ocean in comparison to material world rasa..parthiva rasa.
3 things required to Btg as promised by srila prabhupada- chant, read books, 4 rules.
2 inch less in damodara leela- 2 inches depict 2 things required to control krishna- free will, krsna mercy.
Inspiration examples -4 do's
1. Chataka ..drinks only from rain not any source.
2. Swan- can differentiate between..can separate good from others and not get contaminated.
3. Parrot- repeat as it is whatever listen.
4. Fish- continuously swims and breaths also. So without mind getting wavered just hears. Hearing itself is so pwerful will bring all the transformation.
4 don't s
1. Wolf- howling..after puffed up howls some devotees.. So no hauling.
2. Crow- nice garden may be there..still goes to the garbage...associate with materialistic people..who plans for sender gratification.
4. Bull- goes one to other. Now iskcon tomorrow shri shri.
5. Camel- eat thrones..thinks it gives pleasure.
Prabhupada asked why you want sex..why sex desire?
Because you want to have it. You last your relationship with krishna..so you go for alternative.
Same for marriage, for children. Then , want to show this to others..like FB etc.
So today take wow..increase your KC. Otherwise this life is very small. Everyday we get more close to finish line that is death.
