Purport

A strong faith that by Kṛṣṇa consciousness one will be elevated to the highest perfection of life is called vyavasāyātmikā intelligence. The Caitanya-caritāmṛta (Madhya 22.62) states:

Trdna vera, da bomo z razvijanjem zavesti Kṛṣṇe dosegli najvišjo popolnost življenja, se imenuje inteligenca vyavasāyātmikā. V Caitanya-caritāmṛti (Madhya 22.62) je rečeno:

‘śraddhā’-śabde – viśvāsa kahe sudṛḍha niścaya
kṛṣṇe bhakti kaile sarva-karma kṛta haya

Faith means unflinching trust in something sublime. When one is engaged in the duties of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he need not act in relationship to the material world with obligations to family traditions, humanity or nationality. Fruitive activities are the engagements of one’s reactions from past good or bad deeds. When one is awake in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he need no longer endeavor for good results in his activities. When one is situated in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, all activities are on the absolute plane, for they are no longer subject to dualities like good and bad. The highest perfection of Kṛṣṇa consciousness is renunciation of the material conception of life. This state is automatically achieved by progressive Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Vera je neomajno zaupanje v nekaj vzvišenega. Kdor opravlja dolžnosti, ki jih ima do Kṛṣṇe, ni dolžan opravljati materialnih dejavnosti in izpolnjevati obveznosti do družine, človeštva in naroda. Naše sedanje delovanje z željo po čutnem uživanju je posledica dobrih in slabih del, ki smo jih opravljali v preteklosti. Če človek obudi svojo zavest Kṛṣṇe, se mu ni treba več truditi, da bi bile posledice njegovega dela dobre. Vsa njegova dejanja so tedaj absolutna, saj niso več pod vplivom dobrega in zla ter drugih nasprotij. Najvišjo popolnost zavesti Kṛṣṇe dosežemo, ko zavržemo materialističen pogled na življenje. To stopnjo avtomatično dosežemo z napredovanjem v zavesti Kṛṣṇe.

The resolute purpose of a person in Kṛṣṇa consciousness is based on knowledge. Vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā su-durlabhaḥ: a person in Kṛṣṇa consciousness is the rare good soul who knows perfectly that Vāsudeva, or Kṛṣṇa, is the root of all manifested causes. As by watering the root of a tree one automatically distributes water to the leaves and branches, so by acting in Kṛṣṇa consciousness one can render the highest service to everyone – namely self, family, society, country, humanity, etc. If Kṛṣṇa is satisfied by one’s actions, then everyone will be satisfied.

Neomajna odločnost pri razvijanju zavesti Kṛṣṇe je rezultat znanja. Vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā su-durlabhaḥ: oseba, zavestna Kṛṣṇe, je redka dobra duša, ki ve, da je Vāsudeva ali Kṛṣṇa izvor vseh pojavnih vzrokov. Kakor z zalivanjem drevesne korenine avtomatično priskrbimo vodo tudi listom in vejam, tako z delovanjem za Kṛṣṇo najbolje služimo vsem: sebi, družini, družbi, državi, človeštvu itd. Če je z našimi dejanji zadovoljen Kṛṣṇa, bodo z njimi zadovoljni vsi.

Service in Kṛṣṇa consciousness is, however, best practiced under the able guidance of a spiritual master who is a bona fide representative of Kṛṣṇa, who knows the nature of the student and who can guide him to act in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. As such, to be well versed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness one has to act firmly and obey the representative of Kṛṣṇa, and one should accept the instruction of the bona fide spiritual master as one’s mission in life. Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura instructs us, in his famous prayers for the spiritual master, as follows:

Pri razvijanju zavesti Kṛṣṇe bomo svojo službo najbolje opravljali, če delujemo pod veščim vodstvom duhovnega učitelja, Kṛṣṇovega verodostojnega predstavnika, ki pozna učenčevo naravo in lahko učenca vodi na poti zavesti Kṛṣṇe. Da bi resnično napredovali v zavesti Kṛṣṇe, moramo biti pri svojem delovanju odločni in moramo ubogati Kṛṣṇovega predstavnika, verodostojnega duhovnega učitelja, izpolnjevanje njegovih navodil pa moramo sprejeti za svoje življenjsko poslanstvo. Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura nas v svoji znani molitvi duhovnemu učitelju poučuje:

yasya prasādād bhagavat-prasādo
yasyāprasādān na gatiḥ kuto ’pi
dhyāyan stuvaṁs tasya yaśas tri-sandhyaṁ
vande guroḥ śrī-caraṇāravindam

“By satisfaction of the spiritual master, the Supreme Personality of Godhead becomes satisfied. And by not satisfying the spiritual master, there is no chance of being promoted to the plane of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. I should, therefore, meditate and pray for his mercy three times a day, and offer my respectful obeisances unto him, my spiritual master.”

„Kdor zadovolji duhovnega učitelja, zadovolji Vsevišnjo Božansko Osebnost, kdor pa ga ne zadovolji, ne more postati zavesten Kṛṣṇe. Zato moram trikrat na dan meditirati o svojem duhovnem učitelju, ga prositi za milost in mu izkazati spoštovanje.“

The whole process, however, depends on perfect knowledge of the soul beyond the conception of the body – not theoretically but practically, when there is no longer a chance for sense gratification manifested in fruitive activities. One who is not firmly fixed in mind is diverted by various types of fruitive acts.

Celoten proces temelji na popolnem znanju o duši, ki presega telesno razumevanje življenja – ne na teoretičnem, temveč na praktičnem znanju, ki človeka pripelje do stopnje, ko ne deluje več z željo po čutnem uživanju. Tistega, ki ni obvladal uma, zavedejo različna dejanja, katerih cilj je čutno uživanje.
