Tips for attaining success in Krsna Consciousness

The police department may be horrible for the criminals, but to the government it is a department as good as university department.  Similarly, Mahaamaaya is horrible to the conditioned soul, but to the liberated soul, there is no fear of Mahaamaaya, because he is protected by Yogamaaya.

Police Dept is horrible for the criminals!

by H.H.Jayadvaita Swami

According to an authoritative book on body language there is one device: you are not looking at her but while you are not looking at her she looks at you and keeps looking at you, and keeps looking at you until you get the creping feeling that someone is looking at you. Then, because you get this feeling that she is looking at you, you turn toward her. And that's when she turns away. And it is done with a certain gesture – what are you looking at me for??! And that of course creates further interest. Now, that she has turned away, he is totally confused, this is what is called in the hypnosis the "confusion technique". Now he is confused, was she looking at me, or was she not looking at me? I thought she was looking at me but now I was looking at her. He is completely bewildered and he does not know what's going on except that his mind is drown in thinking about the women – was she looking at me, or was she not looking at me? Was I looking at her?

So sanair, slowly the woman attracts the man. One of our ISKCON teachers of young ladies confided with me that at a certain age the girls discover that if they move in certain way, dress in certain way, they can melt the guy down. And that power becomes a kind of fascination for the girl, she has to use it.

So women all over the world would act in a way that's attractive, it's just their nature. They are constructed by the world's great expert, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He says, "mama maya durataya", my illusory energy is practically unsurpassable because I did really god job in constructing it. Particularly in the form of woman. Some place in the second canto, I think, it is said that Lord Brahma after creating so many things saw that the material energy was not sufficiently manifest, and therefore he created the form of the woman to finish the job.

So the woman is naturally made in such a way that she will be attractive to man and she will act in a way that will be attractive to man. Even if she is chaste and she is shy, that will be attractive to man. How chaste and shy that girl is! That will be attractive. Women are by nature attractive because Krsna made them in that way.
So sanair maya, maya means that what it's not what you think it is. Yopayati sanair maya yosid deva-vinirmita. The woman who slowly attracts one tam ikseta, one should see in this way – atmano mrtyum, as death.

And not just an ordinary death but ätmano måtyum, death for the soul. Death of this body, that's inevitable. For one who is born death is certain. But this is ätmano måtyum, death for the soul. The killer of the soul is mentioned in Isopanisad. How does one kill the soul? The soul is described as eternal, everlasting. So how do you kill the soul? You kill the soul by identifying it with material energy. You kill spirit by identifying with matter. Soul is sat cid ananda but matter is temporary. Matter is a source of misery and covers knowledge. So when the soul is identifying with matter then it is practically killing himself. Or if you get the soul to identify with matter you are killing the soul.

And how is the soul identifying with matter? By association, attraction between man and woman.

The attraction between male and female is the basic principle of material existence. On the basis of this misconception, which ties together the hearts of the male and female, one becomes attracted to his body, home, property, children, relatives and wealth. In this way one increases life's illusions and thinks in terms of "I and mine." (Bhagavatam 5.5.8)

She is looking at me or not? **Confused???

Freedom!

Our Society (ISKCON) is like one big family and our relationships should be
based on love and trust. We must give up the fighting spirit and use our
intelligence to push ahead.
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
In his letter to Upendra, 6th August, 1970.

Krishna is gopika-kaantha. Radha-kaantha. That is Krishna's real
identification. He is gopika-kaantha, and He is Radha-kaantha. This
relationship with Krishna and gopis, that is the highest perfectional
realization of the Absolute Truth.
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
In his conversations in Mayapur, 29th March, 1975.

Relationship matters!
