SB 5.4.14 to 5.5.5

1. Write the flow of the first 5 teachings of Lord Rsabhadev.
1. One should not waste the human form of life in sense gratification which is also available to the animals.Instead one should live a life of austerity and penance to attain pure devotional service. By this one's heart gets purified and one is situated in bliss much greater than what is possible by sense gratification
2. To attain relief from material bondage one must serve the advanced devotees - they are equipoised, see everyone equally and work for the benefit of everyone.But if we associate with people attached to women and sex then the path to hell is wide open
3. Always o things connected to Krishna. Avoid association with those who are attached to eating, sleeping , mating and defending. Also avoid attachment to home and family life without being indifferent to the execution of your grhastha ashram duties.
4. We should not involve ourselves in sense gratification as that will give us a new body. We want to stop the cycle of repeated birth and death because of our desire to enjoy sense gratification.
5. We must enquire about the spiritual values of life else we will be afflicted by material miseries. IF we do not our mind will remain impure and consciousness will be unclear.

1. Write Verse and Translation 5.5.1 näyaà deho… WBN on the importance of human life (1P).
1. Prabhu I copied the verse and translation
1. ṛṣabha uvāca
   nāyaṁ deho deha-bhājāṁ nṛloke
   kaṣṭān kāmān arhate viḍ-bhujāṁ ye
   tapo divyaṁ putrakā yena sattvaṁ
   śuddhyed yasmād brahma-saukhyaṁ tv anantam
2. Lord Ṛṣabhadeva told His sons: My dear boys, of all the living entities who have accepted material bodies in this world, one who has been awarded this human form should not work hard day and night simply for sense gratification, which is available even for dogs and hogs that eat stool. One should engage in penance and austerity to attain the divine position of devotional service. By such activity, one’s heart is purified, and when one attains this position, he attains eternal, blissful life, which is transcendental to material happiness and which continues forever.
2. Brief note on the importance of human life:
1. Human life one is blessed with the intelligence to discriminate between matter and spirit unlike animals.
2. Therefore we must not waste our human form of life in activities of eating, sleeping, mating and defending, we must use our intelligence properly and cultivate higher spiritual values and live them.
3. One must avoid sense gratification for the further propagation of bodies and rather one must live a life if austerity and penance immersed in service to Krishna.
4. Austerities with a desire to please Krishna purifies the heart and makes it fertile to accept loving pure devotional service to Krishna
2. WVT 5.5.2. mahat seväm… Describe the path of liberation and the path of hellish life (2P).
1. Prabhu I copied the verse and translation
1. mahat-sevāṁ dvāram āhur vimuktes
2. tamo-dvāraṁ yoṣitāṁ saṅgi-saṅgam
3. mahāntas te sama-cittāḥ praśāntā
4. vimanyavaḥ suhṛdaḥ sādhavo ye

2. One can attain the path of liberation from material bondage only by rendering service to highly advanced spiritual personalities. These personalities are impersonalists and devotees. Whether one wants to merge into the Lord’s existence or wants to associate with the Personality of Godhead, one should render service to the mahātmās. For those who are not interested in such activities, who associate with people fond of women and sex, the path to hell is wide open. The mahātmās are equipoised. They do not see any difference between one living entity and another. They are very peaceful and are fully engaged in devotional service. They are devoid of anger, and they work for the benefit of everyone. They do not behave in any abominable way. Such people are known as mahātmās.
3. Brief note:
1. Path of liberation focusses on sat- the eternal, the spiritual, the Suprme Personality of Godhead and it can be achieved by associating with sadhus
2. Path of hellish life focusses on aasat, the temporary, the material, objects of sense gratification and it is surely achiveed by associating with those attacehd to bhoga and aisvarya.
