Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 2.2.6 — March 6, 1975, New York 750306SB-NEW YORK [73:57 Minutes] SB-02.02.06_750306SB-NEW YORK [kirtana]
Prabhupāda: [Prema-dvani] Thank you very much. [28:48] Hmm. [sings Jaya Rādhā-Mādhava] [Prema-dvani] Thank you very much. [Devotees offer obeisances] Nitāi: Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.
Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. [Prabhupāda and devotees repeat] Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 2nd Canto, 2nd Chapter, verse number 6. evaṁ sva-citte svata eva siddha ātmā priyo 'rtho bhagavān anantaḥ taṁ nirvṛto niyatārtho bhajeta saṁsāra-hetūparamaś ca yatra [SB 2.2.6] [38:19] "Thus being fixed, one must render service unto the Supersoul situated in everyone's own heart by His omnipotency. Because He is the Almighty Personality of Godhead, eternal and unlimited, He is the ultimate goal of life, and by worshiping Him one can end the cause of conditioned state of existence." Prabhupāda: evaṁ sva-citte svata eva siddha ātmā priyo 'rtho bhagavān anantaḥ taṁ nirvṛto niyatārtho bhajeta saṁsāra-hetūparamaś ca yatra [SB 2.2.6] So last night we discussed that why one should bother about his maintenance and go to beg from a person who is very proud of his wealth.
He can arrange his own living condition. The living condition is āhāra-nidrā-bhaya-maithunaṁ [Hitopadeśa 25]. So far one is in the renounced order of life, so he should first of all renounce the sex life and the state of fearfulness. That is renounced.
Just like here there are many brahmacārīs, sannyāsīs. They are supposed to be renounced order, especially the sannyāsī, and vānaprastha, brahmacārī. Renounced. First renunciation is to renounce sense gratification.
Therefore the person in renounced order is called svāmī. Svāmī means master. Or gosvāmī. So go means "senses," and svāmī means "master." One who has become master of his senses, he is gosvāmī or svāmī.
Otherwise, if one is servant of his senses, how he can be svāmī or gosvāmī? Every word has got meaning. So one has to renounce. This is material life.
