Translation

Being freed from attachment, fear and anger, being fully absorbed in Me and taking refuge in Me, many, many persons in the past became purified by knowledge of Me – and thus they all attained transcendental love for Me.

Oslobođeni vezanosti, straha i srdžbe, potpuno svjesni Mene, nalazeći utočište u Meni, mnogi su se u prošlosti pročistili znanjem o Meni i tako dostigli transcendentalnu ljubav prema Meni.

Purport

As described above, it is very difficult for a person who is too materially affected to understand the personal nature of the Supreme Absolute Truth. Generally, people who are attached to the bodily conception of life are so absorbed in materialism that it is almost impossible for them to understand how the Supreme can be a person. Such materialists cannot even imagine that there is a transcendental body which is imperishable, full of knowledge and eternally blissful. In the materialistic concept, the body is perishable, full of ignorance and completely miserable. Therefore, people in general keep this same bodily idea in mind when they are informed of the personal form of the Lord. For such materialistic men, the form of the gigantic material manifestation is supreme. Consequently they consider the Supreme to be impersonal. And because they are too materially absorbed, the conception of retaining the personality after liberation from matter frightens them. When they are informed that spiritual life is also individual and personal, they become afraid of becoming persons again, and so they naturally prefer a kind of merging into the impersonal void. Generally, they compare the living entities to the bubbles of the ocean, which merge into the ocean. That is the highest perfection of spiritual existence attainable without individual personality. This is a kind of fearful stage of life, devoid of perfect knowledge of spiritual existence. Furthermore there are many persons who cannot understand spiritual existence at all. Being embarrassed by so many theories and by contradictions of various types of philosophical speculation, they become disgusted or angry and foolishly conclude that there is no supreme cause and that everything is ultimately void. Such people are in a diseased condition of life. Some people are too materially attached and therefore do not give attention to spiritual life, some of them want to merge into the supreme spiritual cause, and some of them disbelieve in everything, being angry at all sorts of spiritual speculation out of hopelessness. This last class of men take to the shelter of some kind of intoxication, and their affective hallucinations are sometimes accepted as spiritual vision. One has to get rid of all three stages of material consciousness: attachment to material life, fear of a spiritual personal identity, and the conception of void that arises from frustration in life. To get free from these three stages of the material concept of life, one has to take complete shelter of the Lord, guided by the bona fide spiritual master, and follow the disciplines and regulative principles of devotional life. The last stage of the devotional life is called bhāva, or transcendental love of Godhead.

SMISAO: Kao što je već bilo opisano, osoba koja je previše sklona materijalnom životu teško može shvatiti osobnu prirodu Vrhovne Apsolutne Istine. Ljudi vezani za tjelesno shvaćanje života obično su toliko obuzeti materijalizmom da je za njih gotovo nemoguće shvatiti kako Svevišnji može biti osoba. Takvi materijalisti ne mogu čak ni zamisliti da postoji transcendentalno tijelo, neuništivo, puno znanja i vječno blaženo. Prema materijalističkom shvaćanju tijelo je uništivo, puno neznanja i bijede. Zato ljudi, kad čuju za Gospodinov osobni oblik, imaju istu tjelesnu predodžbu. Takvi materijalistički ljudi smatraju golemo materijalno očitovanje vrhovnim oblikom. Zato misle da Svevišnji nije osoba. Budući da su previše obuzeti materijalnim životom, zamisao o zadržavanju osobnosti nakon oslobođenja od materije budi u njima strah. Kad saznaju da je duhovni život individualan i osoban, plaše se da ponovno ne postanu osobe i tako prirodno više vole neku vrstu stapanja s neosobnom prazninom. Obično uspoređuju živa bića s mjehurićima u oceanu, koji se stapaju s oceanom. To je najviše savršenstvo duhovnog postojanja koje se može dostići bez osobnosti. Lišeno savršenog znanja o duhovnom postojanju, takvo je stanje života zastrašujuće. Pored njih ima mnogo osoba koje uopće ne mogu shvatiti duhovno postojanje. Kad im se smuče razne teorije i proturječnosti raznih vrsta filozofskih spekulacija, postaju zgađeni ili ljuti te budalasto zaključuju da nema vrhovnog uzroka i da je sve u biti praznina. Takvi se ljudi nalaze u bolesnu stanju života. Neki su ljudi previše materijalno vezani i zato ne obraćaju pozornost na duhovni život, neki se žele stopiti s vrhovnim duhovnim uzrokom, a neki ne vjeruju ni u šta, jer su zbog beznađa ljuti na sve vrste duhovne spekulacije. Ta posljednja vrsta ljudi nalazi utočište u opojnim sredstvima i svoje bolesne halucinacije ponekad prihvaća kao duhovne vizije. Čovjek se mora osloboditi svih triju stanja vezanosti za materijalni svijet: zanemarivanja duhovnog života, straha od osobnoga duhovnog identiteta i shvaćanja o praznini koje potječe od razočaranja u životu. Da bi se oslobodio tih triju stanja materijalnoga shvaćanja života, mora potpuno prihvatiti utočište Gospodina pod vodstvom vjerodostojna duhovnog učitelja i slijediti pravila i propisana načela života predanosti. Posljednji stadij života predanosti naziva se bhāva ili transcendentalna ljubav prema Bogu.

According to Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu (1.4.15–16), the science of devotional service:

Prema Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhuu (1.4.15–16), koji predstavlja znanost o predanom služenju:

ādau śraddhā tataḥ sādhu-
saṅgo ’tha bhajana-kriyā
tato ’nartha-nivṛttiḥ syāt
tato niṣṭhā rucis tataḥ

athāsaktis tato bhāvas
tataḥ premābhyudañcati
sādhakānām ayaṁ premṇaḥ
prādurbhāve bhavet kramaḥ

“In the beginning one must have a preliminary desire for self-realization. This will bring one to the stage of trying to associate with persons who are spiritually elevated. In the next stage one becomes initiated by an elevated spiritual master, and under his instruction the neophyte devotee begins the process of devotional service. By execution of devotional service under the guidance of the spiritual master, one becomes free from all material attachment, attains steadiness in self-realization, and acquires a taste for hearing about the Absolute Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa. This taste leads one further forward to attachment for Kṛṣṇa consciousness, which is matured in bhāva, or the preliminary stage of transcendental love of God. Real love for God is called prema, the highest perfectional stage of life.” In the prema stage there is constant engagement in the transcendental loving service of the Lord. So, by the slow process of devotional service, under the guidance of the bona fide spiritual master, one can attain the highest stage, being freed from all material attachment, from the fearfulness of one’s individual spiritual personality, and from the frustrations that result in void philosophy. Then one can ultimately attain to the abode of the Supreme Lord.

„Na početku osoba mora željeti dostići samospoznaju. To će je dovesti do stadija u kojem se pokušava družiti s duhovno naprednim osobama. U sljedećem stadiju prihvaća inicijaciju od uzvišena duhovnog učitelja. Tako pod njegovim vodstvom bhakta početnik započinje proces predanog služenja. Predano služeći po uputama duhovnog učitelja oslobađa se sve materijalne vezanosti, dostiže postojanost u samospoznaji i stječe ukus za slušanje o Apsolutnoj Božanskoj Osobi, Śrī Kṛṣṇi. Taj ga ukus vodi do vezanosti za svjesnost Kṛṣṇe, koja sazrijeva u bhāvi, početnom stadiju transcendentalne ljubavi prema Bogu. Prava ljubav prema Bogu naziva se prema, najviši savršeni stadij života." U stadiju preme, bhakta neprestano transcendentalno služi Gospodina s ljubavlju. Tako postupnim procesom predanog služenja pod vodstvom vjerodostojna duhovnog učitelja može dostići najvišu razinu, oslobodivši se sve materijalne vezanosti, straha od vlastite duhovne osobnosti i razočaranja koje vodi do filozofije ništavila. Tako, na kraju, može dostići carstvo Svevišnjega Gospodina.
