	God, Kṛṣṇa, He's the original person, because from the original father, you can take, from whom everyone has come. Therefore He's the oldest. ''Advaitam acyutam anadim ādyam. Ādyam'' means the original person. Man is made after God; therefore God is original person. So that person, ''ādyam, acyutam, anAdim, nava-yauvanaṁ ca''.

Ādyam'' means the original person. Man is made after God; therefore God is original person. So that person, ''ādyam, acyutam, anAdim, nava-yauvanaṁ ca''.

	''Nava-yauvanaṁ ca'' means He is always a young man. Just like you are all young men, attractive. Young life is attractive. So that youthful age is always in the spiritual world. And as the youthful means joyful life, ''ānandamayo 'bhyāsāt'' . . . (''Vedānta-sūtra'' 1.1.12). All young boys and young girls, they are after joyfulness, but they are being frustrated in this material world. That is the inebriety.		''Nava-yauvanaṁ ca'' means He is always a young man.

(Vedānta-sūtra 1.1.12). All young boys and young girls, they are after joyfulness, but they are being frustrated in this material world. That is the inebriety.

	The spiritual world means these things are there, but without any inebriety. Here we love. A boy loves a girl; a girl loves . . . but they are frustrated. After few days it is broken. Or if it is married, then again there is divorce. He finds out another husband; she finds out another . . . like that. These things are not there. Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa, the love of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa is never broken. Never broken.		The spiritual world means these things are there, but without any inebriety. Here we love.

	Very nice verse. What is this? It is said, ''samāśritā ye pada-pallava-plavam''. The lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa is compared with a very nice boat. Boat just like lotus flower. His everything is like lotus flower. One who has accepted this boat . . . because this material world is a great ocean of nescience, darkness. This is the nature. Just like at night you see, this space is a great ocean of darkness. That is the nature. Therefore it is called ''tama''.		Very nice verse. What is this?

That is the nature. Therefore it is called ''tama''.

	This world's nature . . . here we require the sunlight, the moonlight, the electricity; otherwise it is dark. By nature it is dark. So you are put into the darkness. There is no light. But there is another nature, which is full of light. Therefore Vedic injunction is ''tamasi mā jyotir gamaḥ'' (''Bṛhad-āraṇyaka Upaniṣad'' 1.3.28): "Don't remain in this darkness. Try to come out to the light." That is spiritual world. That is spiritual world. ''Jyotir gamaḥ tamasi mā''. Don't remain in this darkness.

	So the whole process is how to get out of this darkness. How to get out of this darkness. That is stated in the ''Bhagavad-gītā: yad gatvā na nivartante tad dhāma paramaṁ mama'' ([[BG 15.6 (1972)\|BG 15.6]]). The world of light is the kingdom of God, or Kṛṣṇaloka. Everything. Because just like you find day. What is this day? Day means a planet which is called sun globe appears. That is day. That means when your this planet, world planet, turns and comes in front of the sun, it is day. Actually, it is darkness, but when we come in front of light, it is day.

	Prabhupāda: In the last meeting we were discussing why people are forced to commit sinful activities. This point is also discussed in the ''Bhagavad-gītā''. Arjuna inquired from Kṛṣṇa, "What is that thing which forces a man to commit sinful activities?" ([[BG 3.36 (1972)\|BG 3.36]]). Just like the same example that one man is seeing practically that one who has committed something criminal, he is punished. And he has heard it also from authorities—from lawyers or from respectable gentlemen—that, "If you commit such-and-such sinful activities . . . if you steal, then you will be imprisoned for six months. If you cheat, you'll be imprisoned for such-and-such period. If you commit murder, then you'll be hanged." These things are taught some way or other. Either in religious scripture or by law books or by morality or ethical principle, they are taught to the human, civilized human society. And he sees also practically that "This man has committed this kind of criminality, and he is punished." And again why does he commit? That is the problem.

	So ''kāma eṣa krodha eṣa rajo-guṇa-samudbhavaḥ'' ([[BG 3.37 (1972)\|BG 3.37]]). ''Kāma'' and ''krodha''. ''Kāma'' means desire, lust. ''Kāma''. And when the desire lust is not fulfilled, then there is ''krodha''. ''Krodha'' means anger. There are so many cases of criminality, when the lust is not fulfilled, one commits some criminal action and he is punished and so many things happen. So ''kāma eṣa krodha eṣa rajo-guṇa-samudbhavaḥ''.		So ''kāma eṣa krodha eṣa rajo-guṇa-samudbhavaḥ'' ([[BG 3.37 (1972)\|BG 3.37]]). ''Kāma'' and ''krodha''. ''Kāma'' means desire, lust. ''Kāma''.
