Jada Bharat's teachings to Maharaj Rahugana: Some snippets

Some snippets from Jada Bharat's teachings to Maharaj Rahugana


  1. Srila Prabhupada's purport in SB 5.11.8:
    1. As stated in the Nārada-pañcarātra, sarvopādhi-vinirmuktaṁ tat-paratvena nirmalam: when the mind and senses are purified, one’s total existence is purified, and one’s designations are also purified.
  2. Srila Prabhupada's purport 5.12.4:
    1. Formal inquiries and answers about the bodily conception do not constitute knowledge of the Absolute Truth. Knowledge of the Absolute Truth is quite different from the formal understanding of bodily pains and pleasures. In Bhagavad-gītā Lord Kṛṣṇa informs Arjuna that the pains and pleasures experienced in relation to the body are temporary; they come and go. One should not be disturbed by them but should tolerate them and continue with spiritual realization.
  3. Srila Prabhupada's purport to SB 5.13.7
    1. Śrīla Vidyāpati has therefore sung: tāṭala saikate, vāri-bindu-sama, suta-mita-ramaṇi-samāje. The happiness of family life, friends and society is compared to a drop of water in the scorching desert.
  4. Srila Prabhupada's purport SB 5.13.8 : 
    1. kauṭumbikaḥ krudhyati vai janāya: When one’s mind is disturbed in so many ways, he satisfies himself by becoming angry with his poor wife and children. The wife and children are naturally dependent on the father, but the father, being unable to maintain the family properly, becomes mentally distressed and therefore chastises the family members unnecessarily.
