Translation
All occupational engagements are certainly meant for ultimate liberation. They should never be performed for material gain. Furthermore, according to sages, one who is engaged in the ultimate occupational service should never use material gain to cultivate sense gratification.
Srimad Bhagavatam 1.2.13
ŚB 1.2.13
अत: पुम्भिर्द्विजश्रेष्ठा वर्णाश्रमविभागश: । स्वनुष्ठितस्य धर्मस्य संसिद्धिर्हरितोषणम् ॥ १३ ॥
O best among the twice-born, it is therefore concluded that the highest perfection one can achieve by discharging the duties prescribed for one’s own occupation according to caste divisions and orders of life is to please the Personality of Godhead
Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita that everyone has to work and that one can not even maintain a physical body without work .
In every species of life, this principle applies . No person or creature can stop doing something not even for a moment, either physically, mentally, or intellectually.
Thus, the practical Srimad Bhagavatam recommends a therapeutic process of linking ones natural occupational activities in a sacrifice toward Divinity for the purposes of understanding original occupations and the origin of all activity.
This can be done either directly or indirectly, the Vedas say.
The peripheral goals of the Vedas always link to the cor values of the Vedas when properly understood they should be heard with attention from the pure person Bhagavat , meaning a person who has understood the Vedas.
Depending on one’s circumstances, one chooses a path suitable that is recommended . Such recommendations are given in progression modes , one should stay on the elevator of sacrifice and not hop off on one floor and stay there . One floor may be suitable for one stage of life but not for all stages ..
Everything about the Vedas is perfectly complete and one can find completeness within oneself at all stages of life .
The complete systems of social sciences are fully described in the Srimad Bhagavatam from start to finish , all kinds of people at every stage of their lives are facilitated , and the Param Gatim , the ultimate goal of pure loving services to Krishna the Supreme Personality of Godhead is given
Everyone serves a purpose . It is said in the Vedas , if we do not want to serve purposefully in the higher realms, then we must serve somewhere . If we look at material nature and the living beings within it , everything and everyone are closely related and interactive . One part of nature or one living being is dependent on another . Srila BR Sridhar Swami would say its better to serve something superior than to be an artificial master of something inferior. In the world of illusion people think themselves masters , but in their own way they are also serving a purpose .The purpose of a high court judge is to inflict punishments , he serves by inflicting misery for the criminally minded . Much misery in the material world is caused by other living beings , so karmic synchronicities play out in many unseen ways . Service is bliss when carried out to the master of the senses , Krishna, the Vedas say , and Krishna Himself is very expert at reciprocating any service offered to Him .He is so expert that to increase services and bliss He mysteriously and occasionally does not reciprocate . The trancendental reasons for intensifying relationships within the spiritual world are ultimately to intensify loving exchanges of spiritual emotions .Service means love , that’s its origins and the original meaning of performing service .In the material world, the original service mode becomes somewhat perverse by selfish motives for a service .Business deals are absent in the spiritual realms. The Srimad Bhagavatam makes these matters clear , as well as describing service to Divinity http://www.thevedicspectator.com
……well let’s see … As has been pointed out .. The information in the dna genome. The codes and information exchanges. The amino acids left handedness . And sugars right-handedness. The obvious lack of transtions . that led Gauld to punctuated equilibrium. Lucy has a gait of an ape. Mutational math calculations and its odds are ignored by the Darwinians . The myth of junk dna as a left over if evolution. The obvious guessing of the Darwinian presentation cannot be classed as objective sciences . The obvious cheating in presenting guesses as fact based sciences is a dishonest attempt to dismiss theological sciences by the neo Darwinians who really have nothing much more to offer than Darwin . There has been no progress since the Miller Uray declaration of the possibilities of the primordial soup. The most obvious fact is that we all experience consciousness remaining steady ,and the body changing around it . The list could go on . But importantly..if the scientific materialism followers or the Darwinians don’t know …..which they don’t…….they should make it clear , and not mislead the public . We applaud sciences. When they honestly present themselves. The physicists who see the possibilities of multidimensional universes who study quantum physics and its suggestions that an observer affects the outcomes of a particular state of matter , are good contributions. As are the synthetic chemists who show how difficult it is to form chemical bonds , but demonstrate how nature somehow achieves it perfectly. Or, as Sir Fred Hoyle observed and drew the objective conclusions, someone has monkeyed with the universe….
Evolve means a process..
The Vedic cyclic cycle is a process enacted by higher authorities using informational exchanges , utalising sound , ethereal energies , and atomic realms.The third Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam tells.
The fundermental principles of material nature are written on .
There has never been any scientific evolution of mankind that has truly ever been objectively seen .
The evolution of consciousness is taking place , and consciousness is transfered into another appropriate body , the Vedas indicates. Thus, every species of life is conscious , consciousness is simultaneously one and different from Divinity, Krishna says in His Bhagavad Gita . The laetoli Footprints of Leaky is one of many examples of archaeological anomalies , in many places, it’s indicates that man has been around a long, long time . Practically, the dates are always changing for the so-called “origins of man “ In fact, the Vedas, like the physicists, point to a cyclic cycle of creation , maintenance, and destruction that is repeatedly taking place eternally . Relatively speaking , this universe is 155 trillion years old, and Vedas calculates .Two-thirds of our universe are partially devastated before being reconstituted, every approx 4.5 billion years , allowing for a partial resting period and rejuvenation of the engineers who are maintaining it , everything is personal. The Vedas indicate that consciousness has always existed and the consciousness is eternally being given different bodies , until such times when it becomes liberated from that condition. It’s our experience also that we are not the body, that’s also objective science. What happened to our childhood body? Youthful body? When, in terms of a time , the first human “machine,” was manufactured by Divinity and His expansions , a machine of subtle and gross energies that a consciousness particle inhabited , can not be calculated , because time and histories are incalculable in universal affairs. Just a the fruits of a tree return every season ,and no one can say how exactly the cyclic process operates under natures laws . Laws mean law giver . The supreme scientist Krishna is highly intelligent , this intelligence is clearly seen in the workings of material nature . The universal cycles repeatedly return , and although the planet’s are first filled with water and aquatics , its recorded ,the Vedas say that they appear first , but soon after , with the movements of gravitational forces and the heat of the sun , along with the endlessly changing volcanic cycles, land becomes available. The agents of the supremely scientific creator have at their disposal every genetic code .The third Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam tells by using sound ,ethereal, and atomic energies along with all ready existing codes , discoverd by Watson Crick , continue on with the recreation where the previous creation left off . All the species are enacted . In the Vedas, assisting in the recreation of the partial universe, there are demigods to help Bramha, the cheif engineer . They are capable of regeneration and “giving birth ” to all the species , having the particular information and procedures, we now know codes , of how to reconstitute the particular bodies required . They possess particular knowledge that Divinity designated to them of how to speciate . In reality, they are arranging to carry on from where the last creation left off , as an engineering factory after a two month break from manufacturing a particular component, again produces another batch automatically by robotic and computer input.
It’s also recorded in the Vedas that the Demigods are present in the beginnings of the reconstituted world. They guide giving instructions to the first of the recreated beings with interactions , as parents do with children. Within the hearts of all beings lies their previous knowledge and experience to one degree or another , as well , Divinity Himself is always a guide within . Inspirational thinking in todays world is enacted by the supreme intelligence within. Today on a daily basis we see the same thing going on , the consciousness is injected into matter , and within unlimited wombs a specific body develops….no one can manufacture a body , and nobody understands the informational exchanges taking place that build them . The scientific community is trying to find out . One thing is for sure the hox gene is not a lone body builder . Much information is contained, even in the sugars within the cell , that are incalculable mathematical variation. Importantly, molecules dont move towards life . Something is bringing them together .
It’s common knowledge that people take birth already with specific skills and talents, and some are highly intelligent. No one knows how it is, the Vedas says it’s from a previous birth , it’s carried on , or it’s taken away, and we are put into animal bodies.
Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur has clearly described who Sri Guru is .
He is not of this realm, and accordingly, he may, for preaching purposes, have one foot in the material world and one in the spiritual planes.
The materially motivated disciple may attempt to bring his Guru to the material plane by making their own material calculations why Sri Guru says and acts in ways that may go against the grain of modern materialistically accepted norms . Essentially perhaps after being influenced by the current new age hypocrisy of , ” let’s all me nice to each other,” but at the same time, practice cancel culture . The mundane disciple may give up on trancendental consciousness and loose faith in something truly sublime , ultimately, such a person places more faith in material sentiments.
Current times bring many fake narratives, and the net and mainstream media are awash .With so much new age thinking and supercharged hypocrisy in the form of liberalism permeating the airwaves each giving subjective opinions as to what is good or what is bad . The prospective spiritual searcher may not understand Sri Guru and his position beyond the dualism of good and bad . Sri Guru is a direct representation of Divinity Himself and thus trancendental to material calculations. He represents the all good Supreme trancendental autocrat . As such, by following his strict path along with all the disciplines , we begin to leave the dualities of material life far behind us , those that are based on our own sensual or mental space . Then, and only then, we can begin to enter transcendence , making Radha Krishna the original trancendental couple the objects of our sole attention, not other mundane couples .
On the battlefield of Kuruksetra, Arjuna initially had so many material considerations why he should not fight . Krishna, in His Bhagavad Gita, dismissed all of them .
The real messages of the Rasika bhaktas are capable of penatrating the hearts of the sincere . It’s never dependent on perfect management strategies or any mundane considerations . In communicating their all-important messages , Divinity Himself appears in trancendental sound. Such a trancendental sound enters the heart directly of the disciple. Some persons who are expert at managment theory and its applications and who are perceived as “nice ” externally with perfect dealings along with social customs , but within their own hearts carry duplicity and have no depths or taste for real krishna consciousness can never help us . Rather, they can hinder us with material calculations. Whilst the Rasika bhakta can easily be misunderstood by his external behaviour , verses in the Vedas say that to understand the mind of the pure devotee is not easy , similarly, occasionally his external behaviour and speaking . Sometimes, Srila Prabhupada brought his disciples to tears with his trancendental anger . Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja would smash his fists on the table and become red with anger . On one occasion, he said that a particular disciple could never directly come in touch with him ever again and could only get his association indirectly and only through some of his leading disciples . Many examples can be given of what might appear apparently as unreasonable and ” unvaisnava ” like behaviour of pure devotees throughout the history of Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
In Vedic Culures, the unfathomable complexities of the living beings are spoken of , not just in human life but also the 8400000 species of life, 400,000 of which are ” humanoids “
Generally , it is said that good and pious activities bring greater facilities . These include and are in terms of beauty , wealth , widom and insights , particular talents ,intelligence, etc, etc . If such facilities are offered in services to humanity and ultimately Divinity Himself , a further progressed state of consciousness ensues that gives an opportunity to reach the Lands of Divinity Himself who has supremely cultured consciousness along with emotions .
The problems come when those who have karmically earned good credits and opulences become intoxicated by such gifted opulences . They can become proud and exploitative . In that condition , great offences and harm to others might take place , and instead of elevation of consciousness on the back of pious credit , an opportunity is wasted and one takes a step back in the great consciousness journey to Divinity.
In the same way , someone can quickly rise in their consciousness, even though initially born with lesser facilities . They can become humble and learned , if their life is led according to Vedic directions. An association with the good and great is possible for the humble . Spiritual and material mobility works both ways , with plenty of swings and roundabouts or snakes and ladders going on .
Pick up Bhagavad Gita as it is Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains all .
The Srimad Bhagavatam delves even deeper into these topics , the science of consciousness and the responsive universe.

TRANSLATION
I am seated in everyone’s heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness. By all the Vedas am I to be known; indeed I am the compiler of Vedanta, and I am the knower of the Vedas.
Divinely has three aspects to Him , the Vedas tell us .
1. His impersonal effulgence that the atoms , elements compounds, and every aspect of electromagnetic energies, including light frequencies, are devolved from . The whole material world is built on this superior energy to matter , beyond Higgs Boson .
2, He is also situated in everyone’s heart, providing remembrance and forgetfulness , He is reminding us of our previous desires and directs everyone’s activities accordingly. Inspiration of all sorts originates from His supreme majesty, in one sense everything we have, at least in the material world , are borrowed plumes . 3. Above and beyond those two aspects, He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and He exchanges love in an unlimited variety of ways with unlimited living beings. These affairs take place within His own abode with all His associates, and we are all invited to participate. Any artist worth their salt will convey something of Divinity and increase our inquisitive nature of life . Art is meant for that purpose. to inspire us to further understand life’s sometimes hidden purposes . We can say Krishna is the obvious cause of all causes because, scientifically, everything must have a cause . So , the origins should be thought about and learned about . Something never comes out of nothing after all , that’s an absurdity . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
“The speed of an ocean wave generally decreases as it recedes onto the shore in shallower water due to friction with the seafloor, which causes the wave to slow down, shorten its wavelength, and increase its height. This phenomenon, known as the shoaling effect, is the reason why waves build up and break as they approach land. “
In Srimati Radharani’s case , She in known as Suratarangani, the great wave , an unstoppable force of love for Krishna, there is no stronger force in the spiritual or material realms than that of Her determination to meet and give all pleasure to Krishna, as She runs through Vrndavana’s forests assisted by her friends, who can hardly keep up the pace , having heard the flute sound of Kṛṣṇa.
This strong wave breaks the barriers of family traditions, principles of normally calculated moral discrimination , and any sobriety one should have, as well as any sense of fear or shyness .
Having met with Krishna, the return or the receeding wave of Srimati Radharani back to her Mother in laws house is at a slower pace , having feelings of separation from Krishna and the dread of having again to return to her ” family duties ” causing “shoaling “
Hegel was a somewhat enlightened German philosophical deeper thinker . In his philosophy, he has given a concept: The Absolute Truth, the Prime Cause of everything, must have two qualifications. What are they? It must be by itself and for itself.
“Please try to pay attention. ‘By itself’ means that He is His own cause—nothing else created Him. If anything has created Him, that creator will have the primary importance. Therefore, to be the Absolute He must be anadi, eternally existing, and not created by anything. The absolute must have this qualification.”
The teaching of HH Bhakti Rakshak Sridhar Swami.
Vedas indicates Krishna is the cause of all causes , and He has become many to expand His pleasure . His first expansion is Balarama , who expands into Mula Sankarsana and then Maha Sankarsan , who the jivas respectively expand from, and from Maha Sankarsana comes Maha Visnu , who is one could say a functional form of Divinity, it was the jiva who desired independence from God , but that’s impossible, so God gives the impressions of independence. Thus, both the spiritual and material realms are facilitated .
God is the supreme enjoyer , and He attracts and entices all His parts and parcels to independently and by their own volition and free will join Him in His ecstatic blissful life .
Love is an action word and love must necessarily be voluntary , one has to consider..why do you love someone ?
And see what answers you might come up with .
Ultimately, we are not dead stones or downloads of God , but we have free will , and if we want, we can love Krishna and His family or any of His expansions. Learning to love is a very important expression , and a reality , Krishna is unlimited in all respects , there is always something new to be relished and understood about Him .
Or , the alternative, we can wonder wonder wonder all over the universes in different species of life to see if there is anything that might be better . Krishna knows our independent nature, and in our wonderings within the material universes , He also makes arrangements for a rescue mission by incarnations of Himself as well as sending His pure devotees to carry out that task .
“The report also found more children are stumbling across pornography accidentally, with some of the 16 to 21-year-olds surveyed saying they had viewed it “aged six or younger”.
More than half of respondents to the survey had viewed strangulation as children, prompting Dame Rachel to also ask the government to ban depictions of it.
Pornography depicting rape of a sleeping person was also seen by 44% of respondents as children.
The data was gathered prior to the amendments to the Online Safety Act in July, which brought in age verification tools for pornography.
Dame Rachel described the findings as “rock bottom”.
“This tells us how much of the problem is about the design of platforms, algorithms and recommendation systems that put harmful content in front of children who never sought it out,” the commissioner said, calling for the report to act as a “line in the sand”.
The Department of Science, Innovation and Technology told the BBC “children have been left to grow up in a lawless online world for too long” and “the Online Safety Act is changing that.”
The Vedic view ….
This is what happens when businessmen rule the world and have politicians in their pockets and when the intelligentsia are silenced or are fraudulent.
Mind body and consciousness knowledge is the business of a real intelligensia, scientific materialism, and atheistic Darwinian hypothesis are thd workings of thd fraudulent who ignore objective sciences.
It’s a question of applying theological and social cultures intelligently to every individual in every walk of life who are obviously at different stages of their journeys . This approach can offer and is designed to take everyone to more elevated consciousness based on the real science of self realisation. One could say meaningful mindfulness .That means meaningful authorities giving guidance and protection as a good parent does to a child . Offering balanced and educated choices is the Vedic way , currently, for instance, in science. For example, a one-sided Darwinian hypothesis is presented as fact based science to school children . In reality, the Darwinion offers a subjective opinion of an observed world , a world that looks to all intent and purposes to be highly organised with ridged laws , the kind of things described in theological sciences. The Darwinians philosophy is one life one death . Their perverse science presentation is pummelled into school children they lie and say science has proved it . This Darwinian model suits the global conglomerates , they both work hand in hand . These conglomorates are ruining peoples minds and lives , they infiltrate cultures everywhere and sell at any cost . In this libertine cultures children at young as six download free pornography and by the age of twelve half of children have watched pornography. The real spiritual intelligensia along with decent scholars, know how to guide societies . Political classes must be guided by them , not businessmen .Under their care, appropriate measures can be illuminating to all. Vedic societies were not theocratic but a balanced approach for all societies. Attachments to traditional cultures and family values based on theologies are found to be middle ground , but the teachings of objective sciences are crucial.
The results of super liberalism and cheating science is plane to see , misery , mental health issues , etc etc along with the destruction of good sociopolitical influences. instead. The wrong type of persons and fake leaders who are not advised by the intelligensia but only profit driven businessmen run democracies. The Varna Ashram system of the Vedas is a balanced application and takes in all the needs of the people, the creatures, and the planet itself.
Extremists have no place , whatever their particular leaning .
