[We use the word ‘love’ in worldly affairs and this same love is called by the word ‘Bhakti’ in the case of God, who is the Lord of this creation. It is impossible to kill the worldly fascination and give new birth to divine fascination. Instead of this impossible effort, it is very easy to divert the same worldly fascination towards God as fascination for God.]

 

[Just like a person attracted by a prostitute and just like a person attracted in earning corrupt money do not mind even to cheat their own opposing people in order to attain their goals, the saint, who is attracted by God, also does not mind even to cheat his/her own opposing family members in order to attain God.]

 

[Avoiding the worldly bonds that oppose the spiritual effort of a saint by following the curved path is the essence of the human mind (called Kuṇḍalinī) crossing the worldly bonds represented by six wheels by taking the curved path of a serpent and this is the real background essence of the subject called Yoga.]

 

[The soul having climax ignorance is like the dark bumblebee. The beloved family bonds are like the scented lotus flowers attracting this ignorant soul. These lotus flowers become closed on the sunset and the bee gets arrested by the lotus flowers. Similarly, the ignorant soul in the absence of a divine spiritual preacher gets arrested by these worldly bonds. This is the real sense of the path of Yoga involving kundalini moving in curved path to cross the cakras. Without knowing this real essence, ordinary souls are blinded by the words like kuṇḍalinī, cakra etc.]

 

[These Gopikas are also like the kuṇḍalinī serpents, not only avoiding the opposition of their family members, but also making them happy. These Gopikas come to Brundaavanam in the midnight when all their family members sleep. In that time itself, they come with vacant pots and after finishing this dance in the early morning, they reach their homes with the pots filled with water of the Yamuna river. Looking at these Gopikas, their elders become very happy thinking that these Gopikas left the houses in the early morning only and are bringing water from the Yamuna river before they awake!]

 

[These Gopikas are defeating māyā (illusion) with the help of māyā (illusion) only just like a thorn is plucked out with the help of another thorn only. If this type of cheating one’s own people is done for the sake of another more beautiful human being (Dushpravrutti), the result will be horrible hell. But, if this same cheating is done for the sake of reaching God, the ultimate salvation is the final result in which reaching God is the result (Nivrutti).]

 

[All these worldly bonds are cheating bonds only and hence, can be avoided by counter cheating. These bonds appear as if they are loving the soul, but, the actual fact is revealed in the Veda (Ātmanastu kāmāya…). Actually, they love the soul for their happiness only and not for the happiness of others. In the case of God, He, being the infinite ocean of bliss, is not in need of any happiness from any soul. God loves every soul for the sake of the welfare of that soul only. Hence, the bond with God alone is the true selfless bond. In Nivrutti, the devotee shall vote for God even against justice, if necessary. In Pravrutti, the devotee shall always vote for justice against injustice.]

 

[Anyway, soon the death in this short life is inevitably going to destroy all these worldly bonds and the soul will not have even a trace of connection with these bonds after death. Hence, these worldly bonds are certainly temporary. In such case, at least in old age, in which the death is very near, if the soul itself breaks the worldly bonds and forms a single bond with God, God’s grace is earned by the soul. Suppose that the Income Tax Department is going to seize your accumulated money tomorrow. In such case, why don’t you donate that accumulated money to God and get His grace? Can there be a more foolish soul than the soul licking the worldly bonds till the last minutes of death?]

 

[There is no greater saint than Gopikā. There is no greater God than Lord Krishna. There is no greater path than fascination for God. There is no spiritual preacher other than this Śrī Rādhā Kṛṣṇa Gītā.]

 

[The four items (Puruṣārthas) are i) Justice, ii) wealth, iii) sex and iv) salvation. If justice exists in wealth and sex, it is called Pravrutti, which is attachment with justified worldly bonds. If salvation exists in wealth and sex, it is called Nivrutti, which is liberation even from justified worldly bonds.]

 

[Justice took the form of cow and surrendered to God Datta, whose human incarnation is this Lord Krishna. I am also protecting cows in this village indicating that I am the protector of justice. Hence, justice is not greater than God. Justice is in the form of an animal representing ignorance. This means that justice follows the divine constitution composed by Me like the cow following his owner. The deity of justice is nothing but the divine constitution composed by Me for the worldly administration. The constitution is not greater than its author.]

 

[Attachment to unjust bonds is Dushpravrutti. In Pravrutti, these unjust bonds are left and the soul is confined only to justified bonds like parents, wife and children. In Nivrutti, even these justified bonds are left for the sake of God. Leaving justified bonds is the meaning of leaving justice (Sarvadharmān parityajya… - Gita)].

 

[In the Veda, it is told that you have to throw away both merit and sin to reach God (Puṇyapāpe vidhūya nirañjanam… - Veda, Ubhe sukṛta duṣkṛte… - Gita). This statement applies to the state of Nivrutti and not to the state of Pravrutti. Moreover, here, merit means justified bonds and sin means unjust bonds. For the sake of God, the soul has to sacrifice both the justified bonds of Pravrutti and the unjust bonds of Dushpravrutti. Both types of these bonds mean all types of worldly bonds.]

 

[Among the worldly bonds, three justified bonds are considered to be the strongest, which are the bonds with spouse, children and money/wealth. If the soul defeats these three worldly bonds, the soul can be considered to be relieved from all the worldly bonds. If three strongest boxers in a town are defeated in boxing by a person, such person is considered to have defeated all the people in the town.]

 

[The joint bond of wealth and children is the strongest, which is famous everywhere. All the earnings of any soul are finally given to its children only through the property-will. The spouse-bond is the weakest of all bonds. One can observe that all the female souls have attended this rāsa dance.]

 

[When I stole the butter preserved by the Gopikas for the sake of their children, all these Gopikas approached My mother and quarreled with her about My theft of butter, which is a joint test of wealth (butter) and children. But, all the females have reached this Rāsa dance!]

 

[I am conducting this Rāsa dance from midnight to the early morning during which all the village is in deep sleep. Hence, this Rāsa dance is maintained as a top secret. This means that the entire Pravrutti will jump into Dushpravrutti provided such a jump is maintained as a high secret. This is the tendency that is going to appear in the coming Kali Age!]

 

[The first joint test of bond with children and wealth was conducted by Me for 10 years repeating the test again and again. The second test of bond with spouse is conducted through this Rāsa dance in this 11^th year and in the beginning itself, all the Gopikas passed this test. In the first joint test, only twelve Gopikas have passed. In this second test of Rāsa dance, all the Gopikas have passed.]

 

[The most wonderful point in this episode is that all these Gopikas very well know that I am God. They have this knowledge due to their supernatural power obtained through very long penance. The most pitiable point is that even though God is recognized, the soul is unable to break its joint bond with children and wealth for the sake of such recognized God, who is present just before its eyes.]

 

[Artha, which is wealth or money and then Kāma, which is sex in spouse-bond are examined to certify the salvation from all the worldly bonds. If the second test is conducted before the first test, even a prostitute will pass the test. Hence, the divine test is always conducted for Artha or wealth first and then, for Kāma or sex with spouse-bond.]

 

[It is always better to leave the worldly bonds without any effort and tension. This is possible if the soul develops the strongest fascination towards God in the first step so that due to the influence of the first step, the worldly bonds are spontaneously dropped by themselves. If one drinks the divine nectar, other worldly drinks are automatically dropped by themselves without any trace of effort. Similarly, if God is tasted through devotion, the worldly bonds will spontaneously drop by themselves without any trace of tension and effort. Moreover, one important point to be noted is that leaving worldly drinks is not a pre-requisite for attaining the divine nectar. Similarly, leaving worldly bonds (Vairāgya) is not an essential pre-requisite to get fascination to God (Bhakti). If Bhakti is attained, Vairāgya is a spontaneous by-product.]

 

[The word ‘saṃnyāsa’ means both taking and leaving. The word ‘nyāsa’ is used for both actions of placing a thing from soul to outside and placing a thing from outside into the soul. The word ‘saṃ’ means complete action. Hence, the word ‘saṃnyāsa’ means both placing yourself in God and placing yourself outside the world. Both mean attachment to God resulting in the detachment from all the worldly bonds. Hence, both devotion in God and liberation from all the worldly bonds can be the meanings of the same word ‘Saṃnyāsa’. As told above, it is the best way to keep the soul in God in the first step and then, leave the worldly bonds in the second step since in the second step, the worldly bonds leave you by themselves.]

 

[Without devotion to God, leaving the family bonds is useless. Even a stone doesn’t have any worldly bond. What is the use of such a state of the stone? Can we say that the stone is a liberated soul? Hence, there is no trace of use in simply leaving the worldly bonds. Moreover, without attaining the devotion to God, leaving the worldly bonds is not only useless but also impossible. Even if you leave the worldly bonds, it is only temporary because you can’t stay for a long time in an isolated state without the worldly bonds. You will be soon back to your worldly bonds with more vigorous attachment. Moreover, in the absence of devotion to God, is it not a double loss to the soul by leaving worldly bonds? If the divine nectar is not obtained, at least let the soul be entertained with the existing worldly drinks. If the soul leaves the worldly drinks also, it has lost both the divine nectar and worldly drinks.]

 

[The strongest worldly bond is decided to be the joint bond with children and wealth. Due to this strongest bond for children, the soul is involved in illegal earnings. The soul is interested to earn more and more through corruption even though the accumulated property is sufficient for future ten generations! Due to this bond, the world is always imbalanced since rich become richer and poor become poorer! In the sacrifice of this bond, the sacrifice is real since the donor is in loss after doing the donation. In the spouse-bond test, the tested soul is in profit only due to receiving some pleasure through sex without any financial loss.]

 

[An ordinary good human being of Pravrutti is always fond of justice and justified worldly bonds. The saint is always fascinated towards the devotion to God leaving justice and justified worldly bonds also. The saint is quite different and greater than such good person of Pravrutti also.

Extra clarification:-

i) Justice (Dharma):- A Pravrutti-soul is always fond of Dharma (justice) because if dharma is followed, he/she is happy here as well as in the temporary heaven after death. But a saint is fond of God, the author of justice, which is a legal divine constitution composed by Himself. The saint believes that the author of a book is greater than the book itself, giving the highest importance to God, who is the creator and protector of justice.

ii) Wealth/money (Artha):- For a Pravrutti-soul, all his/her earnings are to be given to his/her children, who are going to be permanently separated by death. A saint works for God and donates all his/her earnings for the spiritual mission of God, who is permanently associated with the soul in all the births here and there after death.

iii) Spouse (Kāma):- A Pravrutti-soul is dedicated to his/her spouse in sexual life fearing for the illegal sex that leads the soul to hell. A saint doesn’t have the idea of sex since God is a perfect celibate.

iv) Salvation (Mokṣa):- A Pravrutti-soul tries to develop detachment from the family-worldly bonds at least in old age so that he/she can have free mind to be attached to God because he/she realizes that shortly the death is going to cut all the family-worldly bonds permanently. A saint never tries to cut the family-worldly bonds because they are already spontaneously dropped due to his/her strongest fascination to God.

In this way, the saint is different and greater than even the staunch followers of Pravrutti.]

 

[These Gopikas praise Me that I am their father, mother, sister, brother, husband and friend. This means all the worldly bonds are merged into one single bond with God so that all the worldly fascinations are merged into single fascination for God. In this single fascination to God, the existence of romantic fascination for the spouse also exists, which is justified from the angle of the devotee. In this romantic angle of devotion, self-aspiration exists because the soul aspires for selfish pleasure in this angle. The devotion to God must lack any self-aspiration to be fulfilled from God in return. Hence, this angle shall not be forced on God because the service of the devotee shall always be for the pleasure of God and not for selfish pleasure. The devotee must be totally surrendered to God without any selfish desire.]

 

[Some male devotees speak nonsense by saying that why God is not coming in female form for the sake of male devotees as He is coming in  male form for the sake of female devotees like the Gopikas. Even in the case of Gopikas, God did not unite directly with the Gopikas since God created His duplicate forms for the sake of the Gopikas. Moreover, God is said to be Bhartā or husband or purusha or male. Bhartā means the bearer of all the world in which souls are a tiny part. How can a petty male soul bear God as the husband of God? A table acting as the basic substratum for several items can’t be borne by a single item. Some male devotees like Chaitanya Mahā Prabhu feel God as the husband and burn with separation-fever since this special devotee is the incarnation of Radha. Even this devotee did not aspire for the embracement of God since the devotee shall not have any personal aspiration to be fulfilled by God. Impressed by this devotee, God Krishna Himself appeared to embrace this devotee daily to bring down his fever. Desire shall always be from the side of God and not from the side of a devotee, who totally surrenders to God like a slave.]

 

[You, Radha, are the leader of all the saints. You neither touched your husband nor allowed him to touch you. This is the sacrifice of your bond with spouse (Dāreṣaṇā). You avoided getting children from your womb and this is your sacrifice of your bond for children (Putreṣaṇā). You did sacrifice of these two strongest worldly bonds and reached Me by jumping over the justice, not caring for the justified social traditions like marriage and getting children.]

 

[In the three strongest worldly bonds, called ‘Eṣaṇātrayam’, bond with spouse (Dāreṣaṇā) and bond with child (Putreṣaṇā) are alive bonds with awareness. The third strongest worldly bond, which is fascination for money (Dhaneṣaṇā) is the bond with inert money. This inert bond is based on the above mentioned two alive bonds only. This means fascination for earning money is only for the sake of spouse and child. If the bonds with spouse and child are broken, the bond with money is also spontaneously broken. In this way, Radha has crossed all the three strongest worldly bonds, which means that Radha broke all her worldly bonds. Radhaa broke all the worldly bonds for the sake of God, who is Myself. You are the embodiment of the greatest spiritual phase (Mahā Nivrutti).]

 

[Radha is the spiritual preacher preaching the devotees through her practice. I am the goal to be reached by any devotee. We both are one only, which means that the same one God became both guide and goal, called as Sadguru. ‘Sat’ means goal and ‘Guru’ means guide. The devotee, who knows both of us in this way shall certainly find the ultimate goal called Goloka.]

 

[The preacher or guide is greater than the goal. Scholars say that the right part of God Datta is preacher and the left part is God. Usually, the right part is always considered to be greater than the left part. Therefore, Radha is greater than Krishna. Hence, the word ‘RadhaKrishna’ is uttered in which Radha is remembered first and then only Krishna.]

 

Iti Śrī Datta Svāmi viracita Śrī RādhāKṛṣṇa Gītāyāṃ Saṃnyāsa tattva Yogo Nāma dvitīyādhyāyaḥ |

[Like this, in the Śrī RādhāKṛṣṇa Gītā, composed by Shri Datta Swami, the second chapter called ‘The essence of sainthood-yoga’ is completed.]
