#SoulFood# Srimad Bhagavatam 5.5.7


Sep 27 2016 Tuesday
1. Who is wise in this world?
- He who sacrifices material pleasure for spiritual gain
2. Why is material pleasure not relishable for a wise man?
- Higher Taste!
3. What are lower and higher tastes?
- Pleasure derived from Material enjoyment based on sleep and sex is considered lower. The higher taste is the bliss derived from serving Sri Krsna
4. So someone who uses this human form for material sense gratification is a fool?
- Could say so, material sense gratification is found in all creatures.
Why would a wise man use this rare human birth for the same purpose?
5. What is our real interest?
- Enter a college to graduate out of college! So now that we are in the college of this material world, high time we graduate and go home!
6. Return to our spiritual home?
- Yes back to our spiritual home. Back to Godhead
7. Why do we not remember our goal all the time?
I hear this philosophy so many times, still I forget.
- Lack of focus and enthusiastic endeavour
8. I wish to remember the lord always. How can I do that?
- Always remain connected in service and Nama bhajan
- Nama bhajan must be with attention and faith
- Krsna will help you remember him
9. Any practical tips?
- Sip water and remember, this taste is krsna!
- See the sun and remember, this effulgence is krsna!
- Smell the flowers and remember, this scent is Krsna!
- Feel the moonbeams and remember, this coolness is krsna!
- touch the lotus and remember, this soft beauty is Krsna!
10. Thank you very much.
-Jay Srila Prabhupada!
