True protection in this material prison comes only through Krishna consciousness and divine sanction, not material arrangements.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Bhagavad-gītā 7.1 — June 29, 1972, San Diego 720629BG-SAN DIEGO [33:37 Minutes] Bg-07.01_720629BG-SAN DIEGO Pradyumna: [leads chanting of verse, etc.] [Prabhupāda and devotees repeat] śrī-bhagavān uvāca mayy āsakta-manāḥ pārtha yogaṁ yuñjan mad-āśrayaḥ asaṁśayaṁ samagraṁ māṁ yathā jñāsyasi tac chṛṇu [Bg. 7.1] Prabhupāda: [indistinct] Pradyumna: [leads chanting of verse again] mayy āsakta-manāḥ pārtha yogaṁ yuñjan mad-āśrayaḥ asaṁśayaṁ samagraṁ māṁ yathā jñāsyasi tac chṛṇu [Bg. 7.1] Prabhupāda: [indistinct] Pradyumna: [leads chanting of verse again] mayy āsakta-manāḥ pārtha yogaṁ yuñjan mad-āśrayaḥ asaṁśayaṁ samagraṁ māṁ yathā jñāsyasi tac chṛṇu [Bg. 7.1] Prabhupāda: Hmm. So anyone can recite. [devotees chant; Prabhupāda corrects pronunciation] Yogaṁ yuñjan mad-āśrayaḥ… [devotees repeat] ...asaṁśayaṁ samagraṁ māṁ yathā jñāsyasi tac chṛṇu. That's all.
Carry on nicely. [more devotees chant] All right. [another devotee chants; Prabhupāda corrects pronunciation] Yathā jñāsyasi..., yathā jñāsyasi tac chṛṇu. [devotees repeat] All right.
Now read the word meaning. Pradyumna: [leads chanting of synonyms] śrī bhagavān uvāca—the Supreme Lord said; mayi—unto Me; āsakta-manāḥ—mind attached; pārtha—O son of Pṛthā; yogam—self-realization; yuñjan—so practicing; mat-āśrayaḥ—in consciousness of Me (Kṛṣṇa consciousness); asaṁśayam—without doubt; samagram—completely; mām—unto Me; yathā—as much as; jñāsyasi—you can know; tat—that; śṛṇu—try to hear. [06:28] Translation: "Now hear, O son of Pṛthā [Arjuna], how by practicing yoga in full consciousness of Me, with mind attached to Me, you can know Me in full, free from doubt." Prabhupāda: Hmm. So it is said, śrī-bhagavān uvāca: Bhagavān, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, He said. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is so kind that He comes down in His original form to reclaim the conditioned souls. We are, at the present moment, we are conditioned.
We are not free; we are under the bondage of the material energy. So we are suffering, every one of us. There are three kinds of sufferings: adhyātmika, adhibhautika and adhidaivika. Adhyātmika means pertaining to the body and the mind—some trouble, not feeling well this morning due to this body. So body means a temple of disease, that's all. Śarīraṁ vyādhi-mandiram.
Body means temple of disease. Just like here is temple of God, similarly this body is temple of disease. While walking on the street we saw a huge establishment, medical center. There are so many medical centers, so many drug shops. Why?
Because this body is a temple of disease. So, śrī-bhagavān uvāca. Bhagavān, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, He comes down, avatāra. The Sanskrit word avatāra, avatāra means who comes down from up; coming down, descends. Why does He come?
Paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām [Bg. 4.8] There are two classes of men—one is sādhu and another is miscreant. Sādhu means devotees of the Lord, and miscreant means always committing sinful activities. That's all. So there are two classes of men anywhere you go within this material world.
