Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Matajis,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva.

This is in conclusion of the previous offerings titled, "Come to Your Senses", the transcription of a powerful class, given by our beloved spiritual master H H Mahavishnu Goswami Maharaj, in Sri Sri Radhaneelmadhav dham, Rajkot on 6th December 2005. In the previous offering we heard from Maharaj that

1. We should never neglect the scriptures.
2. Engaging the mind in Krishna's service and not in concoctions.
3. Clean and chant.
4. Come to your senses.

Now let us continue to hear more nectar from Maharaj on the topic 'Come to your senses'.

5. Come to your senses: We feel like running after every woman. But you can't do it. If you do it, you will be stoned or punished or beaten or arrested. So we can't do it. "I want to do it, but I can't do it so I have to control myself." So if the control is there, why not to have more control by going to the scriptures? We have seen in Bhagavatam millions of times. How many times we have heard! How many times we have discussed! What have you heard and what have you discussed! Even now, if you are running after these things, how you are going to save yourself! Be a nice devotee. Nice devotees have always very pleasing nature; and very comfortable in their own situation; they are in control of their body and, not only that, but always in control of their energies i.e. we are heir-apparent to Krishna. Krishna's name is Vasudev. Vasudev means fully in control of His energy and consciousness. He is the supreme consciousness. That is why, every tree is conscious here; every particle of the dust is conscious here and all over the material manifestation, what to talk of only this planet! All over the universe!! This is consciousness. And we are part of this consciousness. That is why it is said part and parcel. Part is part – simple. But we have parcel. Parcel means, you are in possession of consciousness and you are completely controlling the consciousness. So anybody touches any hair on your body, you know. In every follicle of the hair, the consciousness is there. This is the meaning of parcel. Why ignore the parcel word! And we are fully in control of this consciousness because we are part and parcel of Krishna. That is why whatever quality there is in Krishna's consciousness, we are having in us in tiny proprotions. With all our energies under our control and with all the consciousness under our control in this mini body, Krishna is supreme consciousness and supreme controller in this sense. Why is He known as ishvaram? It is because He is fully in control of His energies and of His consciousness.

Why can't we meditate on these things? Try to find out what brahmacarya is. Try to find out from Prabhupada's writings what he means. Try to instigate your intelligence. You are fully experienced. Try to control yourself and be a man in the real sense of the term. We are known as manava. We are Manu's followers. And Manu is highly elevated living entity. Even now, the code given for behavior is known as Manu-samhita. It is coming from Manu. He has recommended a code. And all the codes followed all over the planet are given by Manu. Different scriptures have different codes. Nobody recommends thieving. Nobody recommends running after women. But we are following that. There is no recommendation. Why are you following that? Because in the West – women liberation. Liberation of women is some scoundrel man's idea. If the women are protected by the husband, she cannot be enjoyed by anybody and everybody. So this scoundrel wanted to enjoy so he was very clever. He said, "Unless I speak in their language, women will not do." Liberation is death for a woman. As it is, sex is death; and liberation means, how many people will have sex! So it is as good as death. She cannot survive with this. Even the prostitutes can't survive more than 10-20 years because they are losing everything. This is not the way. That is why the controlled woman is necessary in this age. Liberation is a completely nasty idea. They think that, "Now I am earning money, I don't need a husband." It is not the money; It is the care. They will enjoy and go away. Who will take care? Children will be left to her. Please, this is all varna-shankara behavior we are doing. I don't know how to stop these things. But one thing we should do, that continuous harinama must go on. That is the remedy for this. You people please come together… and please these young people must crowd together here. Why they are wasting their time I don't know! Why they can't come together and try to follow something by which the society will be helped! Your earning will go on definitely. But you do these things. Why can't you come to this point? The school is already there. We are craving for the young people to serve Krishna. Please, propagate these things to young people. And celibacy must be there, and celibacy will be only possible if they are controlled. For your good you should be under control. Otherwise, you are losing. Outside world is completely nasty. So please take care. Hare Krishna !

Our heartfelt thanks to Maharaj for this powerful class full of strong, sublime and practical instructions which can save us from all miseries in this world.

Thank you very much.
Yours in service of Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva,
Bhupati Krishna das, New York.
