मन नै भौतिक बन्धनको मूल कारण || HG Balgauranga Prabhuji || SB 5.6.5 || ISKCON Dharan

CHAPTER SIX
The Activities of Lord Ṛṣabhadeva

ŚB 5.6.5

कामो मन्युर्मदो लोभ: शोकमोहभयादय: ।
कर्मबन्धश्च यन्मूल: स्वीकुर्यात्को नु तद् बुध: ॥ ५ ॥

kāmo manyur mado lobhaḥ
śoka-moha-bhayādayaḥ
karma-bandhaś ca yan-mūlaḥ
svīkuryāt ko nu tad budhaḥ

Synonyms
kāmaḥ — lust; manyuḥ — anger; madaḥ — pride; lobhaḥ — greed; śoka — lamentation; moha — illusion; bhaya — fear; ādayaḥ — all these together; karma-bandhaḥ — bo***ge to fruitive activities; ca — and; yat-mūlaḥ — the origin of which; svīkuryāt — would accept; kaḥ — who; nu — indeed; tat — that mind; budhaḥ — if one is learned.

Translation
The mind is the root cause of lust, anger, pride, greed, lamentation, illusion and fear. Combined, these constitute bo***ge to fruitive activity. What learned man would put faith in the mind?

Purport
The mind is the original cause of material bo***ge. It is followed by many enemies, such as anger, pride, greed, lamentation, illusion and fear. The best way to control the mind is to engage it always in Kṛṣṇa consciousness (sa vai manaḥ kṛṣṇa-padāravindayoḥ). Since the followers of the mind bring about material bo***ge, we should be very careful not to trust the mind.

पत्नी र मन || HG Yugala Murti Prabhuji || SB 5.6.4 || ISKCON Dharan

CHAPTER SIX
The Activities of Lord Ṛṣabhadeva

ŚB 5.6.4

नित्यं ददाति कामस्यच्छिद्रं तमनु येऽरय: ।
योगिन: कृतमैत्रस्य पत्युर्जायेव पुंश्चली ॥ ४ ॥

nityaṁ dadāti kāmasya
cchidraṁ tam anu ye ’rayaḥ
yoginaḥ kṛta-maitrasya
patyur jāyeva puṁścalī

Synonyms
nityam — always; dadāti — gives; kāmasya — of lust; chidram — facility; tam — that (lust); anu — following; ye — those; arayaḥ — enemies; yoginaḥ — of the yogīs or persons trying to advance in spiritual life; kṛta-maitrasya — having put faith in the mind; patyuḥ — of the husband; jāyā iva — like the wife; puṁścalī — who is unchaste or easily carried away by other men.

Translation
An unchaste woman is very easily carried away by paramours, and it sometimes happens that her husband is violently killed by her paramours. If the yogī gives his mind a chance and does not restrain it, his mind will give facility to enemies like lust, anger and greed, and they will doubtlessly kill the yogī.

Purport
In this verse the word puṁścalī refers to a woman who is easily carried away by men. Such a woman is never to be trusted. Unfortunately, in the present age, women are never controlled. According to the directions of the śāstras, women are never to be given freedom. When a child, a woman must be strictly controlled by her father. When she is young, she must be strictly controlled by her husband, and when she is old, she must be controlled by her elderly sons. If she is given independence and allowed to mingle unrestrictedly with men, she will be spoiled. A spoiled woman, being manipulated by paramours, might even kill her husband. This example is given here because a yogī desiring to get free from material conditions must always keep his mind under control. Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura used to say that in the morning our first business should be to beat the mind with shoes a hundred times, and, before going to bed, to beat the mind a hundred times with a broomstick. In this way one’s mind can be kept under control. An uncontrolled mind and an unchaste wife are the same. An unchaste wife can kill her husband at any time, and an uncontrolled mind, followed by lust, anger, greed, madness, envy and illusion, can certainly kill the yogī. When the yogī is controlled by the mind, he falls down into the material condition. One should be very careful of the mind, just as a husband should be careful of an unchaste wife.

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 5.6.3
HG Jagadishwar Prabhuji
ISKCON Dharan

CHAPTER SIX
The Activities of Lord Ṛṣabhadeva

ŚB 5.6.3

तथा चोक्तम्—
न कुर्यात्कर्हिचित्सख्यं मनसि ह्यनवस्थिते ।
यद्विश्रम्भाच्चिराच्चीर्णं चस्कन्द तप ऐश्वरम् ॥ ३ ॥

tathā coktam —
na kuryāt karhicit sakhyaṁ
manasi hy anavasthite
yad-viśrambhāc cirāc cīrṇaṁ
caskanda tapa aiśvaram

Synonyms
tathā — so; ca — and; uktam — it is said; na — never; kuryāt — should do; karhicit — at any time or with anyone; sakhyam — friendship; manasi — in the mind; hi — certainly; anavasthite — which is very restless; yat — in which; viśrambhāt — from placing too much faith; cirāt — for a long time; cīrṇam — practiced; caskanda — became disturbed; tapaḥ — the austerity; aiśvaram — of great personalities like Lord Śiva and the great sage Saubhari.

Translation
All the learned scholars have given their opinion. The mind is by nature very restless, and one should not make friends with it. If we place full confidence in the mind, it may cheat us at any moment. Even Lord Śiva became agitated upon seeing the Mohinī form of Lord Kṛṣṇa, and Saubhari Muni also fell down from the mature stage of yogic perfection.

Purport
The first business of one trying to advance in spiritual life is to control the mind and senses. As Śrī Kṛṣṇa says in Bhagavad-gītā (15.7):

mamaivāṁśo jīva-loke
jīva-bhūtaḥ sanātanaḥ
manaḥ ṣaṣṭhānīndriyāṇi
prakṛti-sthāni karṣati

Although the living entities are part and parcel of the Supreme Lord and are therefore in a transcendental position, they are still suffering in this material world and struggling for existence due to the mind and the senses. To get out of this false struggle for existence and become happy in the material world, one has to control the mind and senses and be detached from material conditions. One should never neglect austerities and penances; one should always perform them. Lord Ṛṣabhadeva personally showed us how to do this. In the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (9.19.17) it is specifically stated:

mātrā svasrā duhitrā vā
nāviviktāsano bhavet
balavān indriya-grāmo
vidvāṁsam api karṣati

A gṛhastha, vānaprastha, sannyāsī and brahmacārī should be very careful when associating with women. One is forbidden to sit down in a solitary place even with one’s mother, sister or daughter. In our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement it has been very difficult to disassociate ourselves from women in our society, especially in Western countries. We are therefore sometimes criticized, but nonetheless we are trying to give everyone a chance to chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra and thus advance spiritually. If we stick to the principle of chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra offenselessly, then, by the grace of Śrīla Haridāsa Ṭhākura, we may be saved from the allurement of women. However, if we are not very strict in chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, we may at any time fall victim to women.

''चञ्चल मनबाट सधैं सावधान''
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 5.6.2
HG Bhaktanath Keshav Prabhuji
ISKCON Dharan

CHAPTER SIX
The Activities of Lord Ṛṣabhadeva

ŚB 5.6.2

ऋषिरुवाच
सत्यमुक्तं किन्‍त्विह वा एके न मनसोऽद्धा विश्रम्भमनवस्थानस्य शठकिरात इव सङ्गच्छन्ते ॥ २ ॥

ṛṣir uvāca
satyam uktaṁ kintv iha vā eke na manaso ’ddhā viśrambham anavasthānasya śaṭha-kirāta iva saṅgacchante.

Synonyms
ṛṣiḥ uvāca — Śukadeva Gosvāmī said; satyam — the correct thing; uktam — have said; kintu — but; iha — in this material world; vā — either; eke — some; na — not; manasaḥ — of the mind; addhā — directly; viśrambham — faithful; anavasthānasya — being unsteady; śaṭha — very cunning; kirātaḥ — a hunter; iva — like; saṅgacchante — become.

Translation
Śrīla Śukadeva Gosvāmī replied: My dear King, you have spoken correctly. However, after capturing animals, a cunning hunter does not put faith in them, for they might run away. Similarly, those who are advanced in spiritual life do not put faith in the mind. Indeed, they always remain vigilant and watch the mind’s action.

Purport
In Bhagavad-gītā (18.5) Lord Kṛṣṇa says:

yajña-dāna-tapaḥ-karma
na tyājyaṁ kāryam eva tat
yajño dānaṁ tapaś caiva
pāvanāni manīṣiṇām

“Acts of sacrifice, charity and penance are not to be given up but should be performed. Indeed, sacrifice, charity and penance purify even the great souls.”

Even one who has renounced the world and has taken sannyāsa should not renounce chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra. Renunciation does not mean that one has to renounce saṅkīrtana-yajña. Similarly, one should not renounce charity or tapasya. The yoga system for control of the mind and senses must be strictly followed. Lord Ṛṣabhadeva showed how severe types of tapasya could be performed, and He set an example for all others.
