Purify the senses through devotional service and constant chanting of Krishna's holy names to escape material entanglement.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Pradyumna: Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. [devotees repeat] [leads chanting of verse, etc.] mano-vaco-dṛk-karaṇehitasya sākṣāt-kṛtaṁ me paribarhaṇaṁ hi vinā pumān yena mahā-vimohāt kṛtānta-pāśān na vimoktum īśet [SB 5.5.27] [break] [01:40] Translation: "The true activity of the sense organs—mind, sight, words and all the knowledge-gathering and working senses—is to engage fully in My service. Unless his senses are thus engaged, a living entity cannot think of getting out of the great entanglement of material existence, which is exactly like Yamarāja's stringent rope." [break]
Prabhupāda: mano-vaco-dṛk-karaṇehitasya sākṣāt-kṛtaṁ me paribarhaṇaṁ hi vinā pumān yena mahā-vimohāt kṛtānta-pāśān na vimoktum īśet [SB 5.5.27] So the entanglement is made by the senses. Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has sung that śarīra avidyā-jāl, jonendriya tāhe kāl, jīve phele vinaya-sāgore. This body is covering of ignorance, śarīra avidyā-jāla. Everyone has got a material body, and according to the different proportion of ignorance [child loudly crying in background] [aside:] This child is so crying.
From three miles we can hear. Balanar rodanar balam. This is strength of the children: crying. They can disturb the whole world [laughter] simply by crying.
So just see. This is the body, immediately. You cannot cry like that. Even if you are aggrieved, you cannot cry so loudly that up to four miles one can hear.
That is not possible. Why it is not possible? Because he has got a different body and you have got a different body. Everything is going on according to the body.
This is mahā-vimoha. This is going on, 8,400,000's of different forms of body according to mano, vaca, dṛk, karaṇa, etc. This body is the entanglement, and the senses are the instruments, and we are acting with the senses and we creating another type of body. This is going on. Śarīra avidyā-jāla, jaḍendriya tāhe kāla.
Therefore the first business is how to purify the senses. Bhakti means that. Bhakti, devotional service, means purifying the senses. In the Bhagavad-gītā it is said...
