	So this is misunderstanding. So this misunderstanding has to be cleaned. That is the aim of life. Therefore Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu recommends that if you chant Hare Kṛṣṇa ''mahā-mantra'', then the first installment of benefit is ''ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanam'' ([[CC Antya 20.12\|CC Antya 20.12]]). Because misunderstanding means within the heart. If the heart is clear, consciousness is clear, then there is no misunderstanding. So this consciousness has to be cleansed, and that is the first installment of the result of chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa. ''Kīrtanād eva kṛṣṇasya mukta-saṅga paraṁ vrajet'' ([[SB 12.3.51\|SB 12.3.51]]). Simply by chanting Kṛṣṇa's, ''kṛṣṇasya'', holy name of Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa. Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Rāma, the same thing. Rāma and Kṛṣṇa there is no difference. ''Rāmādi-mūrtiṣu kalā-niyamena tiṣṭhan'' (BS 5.39). So we require. The present position is misunderstanding that, "I am product of this material nature," "I am this body," "I am Indian," "I am American," "I am ''brāhmaṇa''," "I am ''kṣatriya''," and so on, so on . . . so many designations. But we are none of them. This is the clearing. Ceto-darpaṇa. When you understand clearly that "I am not a Indian, I'm not a American, I'm not ''brāhmaṇa'', I'm not ''kṣatriya''"—means "I am not this body"—then the consciousness will be ''ahaṁ brahmāsmi''. ''Brahmā-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā na śocati na kāṅkṣati'' ([[BG 18.54 (1972)\|BG 18.54]]). This is wanted. This is success of life. Otherwise, if we remain in darkness of our existence . . . everyone is ''abodha-jāto''. Anyone born in this material world in different platform . . . one may take birth as demigod in the heavenly planets or one may take birth as a human being in the lower planets. And lower than that, animal, plants. There are 8,400,000 different species of life.		So this is misunderstanding. So this misunderstanding has to be cleaned. That is the aim of life.

And lower than that, animal, plants. There are 8,400,000 different species of life.

	So any form of life, we are bound up by the laws of nature, and ''bhuṅkte prakṛti-jān guṇān'' ([[BG 13.22 (1972)\|BG 13.22]]). The ''puruṣaḥ . . . puruṣaḥ'' means the living entity. ''Puruṣaḥ'' . . . ~~Actually~~, nobody is ''puruṣaḥ;'' everyone is ''prakṛti. Apareyam itas tu viddhi me prakṛtim parā'' ([[BG 7.5 (1972)\|BG 7.5]]). Parā prakṛti. The material, matter, is the ''aparā-prakṛti'', and spirit soul is ''parā-prakṛti''. So in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' it is clearly explained, ''bhūmir āpo 'nalo vāyuḥ'' ([[BG 7.4 (1972)\|BG 7.4]]). This is . . . ''bhinnā me prakṛtir aṣṭadhā''. This is separated. This is also nature, but inferior. ''Apareyam itas tv viddhi me prakṛtiṁ parā''. There is another ''prakṛti''. What is that? ''Jīva-bhūto'', this living entity. So living entity is also ''prakṛti'', but because he has the tendency to enjoy this material world, he is sometimes described as ''puruṣaḥ''. ''Puruṣaḥ'' means enjoyer, and ''prakṛti'' means enjoyed. So the ''prakṛti'' forgets her position, and artificially he wants to become ''puruṣaḥ.''		So any form of life, we are bound up by the laws of nature, and ''bhuṅkte prakṛti-jān guṇān'' ([[BG 13.22 (1972)\|BG 13.22]]). The ''puruṣaḥ . . . puruṣaḥ'' means the living entity. ''Puruṣaḥ'' . . . actually, nobody is ''puruṣaḥ;'' everyone is ''prakṛti. Apareyam itas tu viddhi me prakṛtim parā'' ([[BG 7.5 (1972)\|BG 7.5]]). Parā prakṛti.

''Puruṣaḥ'' means enjoyer, and ''prakṛti'' means enjoyed. So the ''prakṛti'' forgets her position, and artificially he wants to become ''puruṣaḥ.''

	So this ''puruṣaḥ, prakṛti 'stho'' . . . ''puruṣaḥ prakṛti 'stho bhuṅkte prakṛti-jān guṇān'', so long he's in this material world, he has to associate with the modes of material nature, ''sattva-guṇa, rajo-guṇa, tamo-guṇa''. ''Bhuṅkte prakṛti-jān guṇān''. And on account of the influence of the ''prakṛti-jān guṇa'', he has to take different types of body. ''Puruṣaḥ prakṛti 'stho bhuṅkte prakṛti-jān guṇān kāraṇaṁ guṇa saṅgo 'sya'' ([[BG 13.22 (1972)\|BG 13.22]]). This is the kāraṇa. He's associating with a particular type of the modes of ''prakṛti-jān guṇān—sattva-guṇa, rajo-guṇa, tamo-guṇa''—and on account of this he gets different types of body. You have to change your body. ''Dehāntaram. Tathā dehāntaram-prāptir'' ([[BG 2.13 (1972)\|BG 2.13]]). But different grades of body is awarded by the laws of nature according to our ''karma, karmaṇā daiva netreṇa'' ([[SB 3.31.1\|SB 3.31.1]]).		So this ''puruṣaḥ, prakṛti 'stho'' . . . ''puruṣaḥ prakṛti 'stho bhuṅkte prakṛti-jān guṇān'', so long he's in this material world, he has to associate with the modes of material nature, ''sattva-guṇa, rajo-guṇa, tamo-guṇa''.

	So the Hanumān is example. Hanumān was ordered to bring some medicine from some mountain. And he was a monkey, he was animal, he did not know how to pick up it—"Take the whole mountain. Execute the order. And then Rāmacandra and Lakṣmana, They'll find out what is that medicine." So this is Vaiṣṇava. In one's own capacity he should give the best service to the Lord and that is bhakti. ''Bhakti'' is not laziness. If somebody thinks that, "The ''bhaktas'' are lazy fellows, and they are out of the worldly activity," that is mistake. It is mistake. ''Ānukūlyena kṛṣṇānu-śīlanam''. Kṛṣṇa says personally, ''yat karoṣi yaj juhoṣi dadāsi yat tapasyasi yat kuruṣva mad-arpaṇam'' ([[BG 9.27 (1972)\|BG 9.27]]): "Come on! Do it for Me." That is ''bhakti''. He does not say that "You become a lazy fellow. Give up your occupational duty and sleep and snore, and become a great devotee." No. He never says. He says that "You are attached to this kind of work. All right, do it, but the result you give Me," that is ''bhakti''. "Arjuna, you are a military man. All right, I ask you to fight. You become a fighter and become My devotee." ''Bhakto 'si priyo 'si me'' ([[BG 4.3 (1972)\|BG 4.3]]). Just see. What is that? He was not chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa. But Kṛṣṇa says, ''bhakto 'si priyo 'si me:'' "You are very dear friend and My devotee." Did he go on the Battlefield of Kurukṣetra . . . so not that imitation. Of course, ultimate is always be absorbed in glorifying the Lord. But not in the beginning. In the beginning you must work very hard; you come to the stage of pure devotional platform. Then you can fully engage yourself meditation or chanting. Not in the beginning. In the beginning you should be very expert and active. That is wanted. That is Caitanya Mahāprabhu's . . . ''udilo'', from the early in the morning, active. "Come on, chant. Come with Me so that others will see. If we make a party chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, so in the beginning they may be disturbed because they have been accustomed to sleep up to nine o'clock, but as they will hear, gradually they'll become purified. They'll receive it."		So the Hanumān is example. Hanumān was ordered to bring some medicine from some mountain. And he was a monkey, he was animal, he did not know how to pick up it—"Take the whole mountain. Execute the order. And then Rāmacandra and Lakṣmana, They'll find out what is that medicine."

They'll receive it."

	So that is Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mission. He practically did it, and He asked everyone to do it. ''Āmāra ājñāya guru hañā tāra ei deśa'' ([[CC Madhya 7.128\|CC Madhya 7.128]]). "This is My order." He could remain a big devotee at His home. He was very popular in Navadvīpa, even when He was twenty years old. But still, He took sannyāsa and went door to door, village to village, town to town in India, and He left His order, ''pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi-grāma:'' "All over the world, as many towns and villages are there, this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement should be . . ." (CB Antya-khaṇḍa 4.126). Not that "We are big, big ''gosvāmīs'' and ''bābājīs''. We do not go out of Vṛndāvana." They say that "We do not go out of . . ." You are imitating them. (chuckles) Caitanya Mahāprabhu says that ''pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi-grāma''. And they have become very big Vaiṣṇava: "No, I don't go beyond the limits of Vṛndāvana." What is this nonsense? Did Caitanya Mahāprabhu say like that, that "You do not go beyond the limits . . ."? A devotee, wherever he is, that is Vṛndāvana. That is Vṛndāvana. ''Tīrtha-kurvanti tīrthāni'' ([[SB 1.13.10\|SB 1.13.10]]). A devotee, a pure devotee, can make any hell a tīrtha, a holy place. That is devotee. ''Tīrthī-kurvanti tīrthāni''. That was Bhagīratha. Gaṅgā was hesitating, mother Gaṅgā, that "I shall go to the material world. People will take . . . all sinful men will take bathing, and I'll be overloaded with sin. Then how I shall get out of this sinful, accumulation of sins?" So the Bhagīratha said, "My mother, don't hesitate. When a holy man will take bath in your water, then all the sins he will assimilate." Then she agreed, "Yes. That's all right" So if we become holy man, actually, then immune. There is no difference. That is Caitanya Mahāprabhu. These are bogus that, "I do not go out of Vṛndāvana." They are making Vṛndāvana limited. Vṛndāvana is not limited. Wherever there is Kṛṣṇa, wherever there is Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa temple, that is Vṛndāvana. That is Vṛndāvana. Caitanya Mahāprabhu said. Caitanya Mahāprabhu, He, once only, He went to Vṛndāvana. Does it mean He was not in Vṛndāvana?		So that is Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mission. He practically did it, and He asked everyone to do it. ''Āmāra ājñāya guru hañā tāra ei deśa'' ([[CC Madhya 7.128\|CC Madhya 7.128]]). "This is My order." He could remain a big devotee at His home.

When a holy man will take bath in your water, then all the sins he will assimilate." Then she agreed, "Yes. That's all right" So if we become holy man, actually, then immune. There is no difference. That is Caitanya Mahāprabhu. These are bogus that, "I do not go out of Vṛndāvana." They are making Vṛndāvana limited. Vṛndāvana is not limited. Wherever there is Kṛṣṇa, wherever there is Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa temple, that is Vṛndāvana. That is Vṛndāvana. Caitanya Mahāprabhu said. Caitanya Mahāprabhu, He, once only, He went to Vṛndāvana. Does it mean He was not in Vṛndāvana?

	So this is Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mission, that preaching must go on in hell and heaven. We should be very much expert and follow the instruction of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, the simple instructions. ''Mukunda mādhava yādava hari bolena bolo re vadana bori''. Simply chant the holy names of Lord, ''mukunda mādhava yādava''. This is Caitanya . . . rise early in the morning. You go preach, and work hard, day and night, and that is Caitanya Mahāprabhu's . . . this song indicates. That's all.
