# Special Class : Ek NazarAjamila (diverted by SEEING)
It is about a very gentle, learned son of brahmana. His name was Ajamila. This Ajamila was very well behaved. He was most obedient to his parents. He was most faithful to his guru. His senses were most well controlled. He was kind to everyone. He was pleasing and gentle in all manners and was religious. Indeed he was an ocean of virtue. One day it is explained, he is asked by his father to go out to collect some wood and some grass for the Brahminical sacrifices that were taking place in the house. As Ajamila was coming back with those articles that he had collected for his father, he came across a fourth class man who was in a drunken state, he was embracing a prostitute and enjoying his senses to a very extreme degree. - They were both singing songs, embracing one another, kissing one another, they were both drunk with liquor and their eyes were rolling in their heads in mundane pleasure. - And as they were merged in their situation of life, the prostitutes clothing became loose and some part of the body was being displayed. - When Ajamila saw this woman enjoying sense gratification in such a degraded and sinful way, it is described that the arrow of cupid appears into his heart and he became very attracted and wanted to enjoy this low class sinful woman. - And then he began to remember the instructions of his father, the instructions of the scriptures and the instructions of his spiritual master. But it was very difficult for him to get this idea out of his mind. So he went home. Then he could not forget the beauty of the prostitute. So he hires this prostitute as his maid servant. Due to the influence of association his only business in life was to satisfy her so that she will satisfy him. Thus he had aged parent’s he was their only son. He completely neglected them and disgraced them. His beautiful and chaste wife, who has noble virtues coming from a very rich brahmana family, he gave her up. He disowned her. And in order to support this prostitute he began to gamble, he began to steal like a thief, he became so degraded he began to engage in all sinful activities to supply her with unlimited desires for sense gratification. He became a drunkard, thief and sex maniac and he was producing child after child after child with the womb of that prostitute. In this way enjoying his senses in the most degraded manner, he spent the duration of his life. When he was 88 years old he still could not give up having sex with that prostitute. And he had another child. (Just see what association with low class people can do to one’s consciousness.) This is the greatest lesson you learned. This story took place long ago and in a previous yuga. **At that time there was practically no such thing as a prostitute. There was no such thing as people drinking, and engaging in sensual activities openly in public. There was only one such person and yet by seeing such a person Ajamila’s heart became contaminated and the spirit for sinful enjoyment overwhelmed his mind. His mind became uncontrolled in that association.** But in these days and age practically everywhere we go, practically everywhere we look, we see these incidents taking place.Saubhari Muni (diverted by SEEING)
[https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/9/6/39-40/](https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/9/6/39-40/) till end of chapter - Such a powerful yogi he was. He was in the Yamuna under the water for thousands of years performing meditations. Who of us could do that? Such power of control that he even had the power to control his breath. He did not even have to breathe air for thousands of years. This is the power he had to control his senses. - While he was living under the water one day, he saw a male and female fish enjoying the pleasures of sex together. Now what is our position in comparison to his as far as the ability to control our senses. And when we see birds or insects or fish having sexual pleasure together, does it disturb our minds? We just go on walking, doesn’t mean anything to us, but illusory energy of the Lord is so powerful, that if one is not protected by the lord then even something so insignificant as that, can completely infatuate one’s attention. - So Shaubhari muni was thinking when he saw all this that “Oh! the pleasures of sex are so wonderful .Look at how these fish are enjoying.” He thought I must have this facility. He came out of the water, simply hunting for a consort to enjoy material pleasures with and he came across some beautiful damsels who were princesses. He approached their father who said,” You are an old man and my daughters are not attracted to you. Besides being very old and having long-matted grey hair, and because he was under water for so long, his skin was all wrinkled from too much exposure to water. They were not at all attracted. - After all young ladies do not wish to have a husband who is an old sadhu . They like someone who is very strong, handsome and wealthy. So by his mystic power he transformed his form into the most young beautiful, handsome prince . Who of us could do that? Then when he came, all the princesses wanted him. So he expanded himself to satisfy each and every one of them. In this way he married, he enjoyed like anything. He was given tremendous wealth , tremendous powers. By his mysticism, he was able to create beautiful kingdoms, wonderful wonderful facilities to enjoy. He had literally at his control everything he wanted by his mystic powers and by the inheritance of what he had been given by his father -in- law. - With these beautiful princesses, to the extent that anyone could imagine, he was enjoying material life. But after a short time of doing like this, he realized that no matter in how many forms I expand myself, no matter how much wealth I create by my mystic powers, no matter how beautiful these young girls are, he is frustrated and they were frustrated. He could understand what a great mistake he had made and he realized that this is because I had offended this great devotee of the Lord that I lost all my intelligence completely. Ultimately he and his wives all renounced everything and accepted the renounced order. So what is there to be learnt from this story. First of all whoever we are, however great we are, unless we are humbly taking shelter of the lotus feet of the Lord it is not possible for us ultimately to control our senses because we are all under His power. He can take away our intelligence. He can cover us by Maya. He can cover us by yoga maya. He can do anything He wants. We are eternally His servitors.Vishwamitra (diverted by HEARING)
- We read a similar story in the life of Vishvamitra muni. He was such a great powerful yogi that he was able to sit in meditation in the winter in the peaks of the Himalayas with breaking ice and keeping his body up to his neck in the ice for 6 months at a time. Sometimes we are afraid of a cold bath which lasts about 15 or 20 seconds . He spent 6 months in ice without being disturbed, such was his power. - But by the power of the illusory energy, just the tinkling of the ankle bells of Menaka was able to bewilder his mind and cast him deeply into the abyss of the material sense enjoyment. - But it is described that Srila Haridas Thakur, even the personification of Maya with all of her potencies came before him to try to dissuade him from his wows. Because with great humility he was taking shelter of Krishna through His name, ultimately Maya became his disciple. Ultimately she surrendered to him. - So the conclusion is that the devotee of the Lord understands that it is only by the power of God, it is only by the power of Krishna that we can do anything. It is only by power of Krishna that we can be protected and therefore, the devotee with all humility is always seeking shelter of the lord. Therefore such a devotee is never vanquished by the material energy. But those foolish materialistic people and even those less intelligent spiritualists who are dependent on their own powers, on their own abilities, on their own opulence, they are birth after birth after birth frustrated , frustrated by the inflictions of the modes of material nature.BG verses

Let’s consider the queer world of quantum physics, as explained in many books like science author David Peat’s From Certainty to Uncertainty: “\[In classical physics\] an electron can be observed at point A and then, later, at point B. But in the quantum case one cannot speak of it having a path from A to B, nor can one say that when it was not being observed it still had a speed and position.” In other words, in quantum physics, we cannot say the electron was existing when we were not observing it. The logic for this strange notion is that quantum physics sees the world as made of wave functions and probability patterns, which materialize as gross objects only when there is a conscious observer measuring their properties. No doubt, this quantum view of looking at the world as being comprised wave functions when we see it as comprising solid objects seems absurd and contrary to common sense, but the quantum vision, in its own way, works; it has led to major technological advances. That’s why Noble Laureate physicist Richard Feynman candidly states: “\[our current physics\] describes nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And it agrees fully with experiment. So I hope you can accept nature as she is – absurd.” According to quantum physicists, to comprehend quantum reality takes **eight to ten years of rigorous re-education**, during which one sets asides one’s past notions of reality and open-mindedly assimilates the concepts of the quantum universe. It’s almost as if the quantum universe exists as an alternate or parallel reality, which can be perceived only by one with an informed vision. Similarly, parallel to the seemingly obvious perception that the Deity is just a stone idol, there is a higher reality, which when perceived, can lead to enormous spiritual advancement. But to perceive that higher reality requires thorough philosophical education and systematic devotional training.\#2

SS: When we want knowledge about physics, we refer to the authorized textbooks of physics. Similarly, when we want knowledge about God, should we not refer to the authorized textbooks about God – the scriptures? The scriptures of the great religions of the world repeatedly refer to God in a personal, humanlike way. For example, the Bible talks about “under his feet” (Exodus 24:10); “inscribed with the finger of God” (Exodus 31:18); “the hand of the Lord” (Exodus 9:3); “the eyes of the Lord” (Genesis 38:7); “the ears of the Lord” (Numbers 11:1). Ezekiel (1:26) describes God as having “the semblance of a human form.” Such phrases permeate the biblical literature. Similarly, in the Quran, there are references to “the face of your Lord” (055:027), “under My eye” (020:039), “under our eyes” (052:048) & (054:014), “the hand of Allah” (048:010), (038:075) & (039:067). # BG CHAD ##### BG.2 ##### TEXT 1 ##### सञ्जय उवाच तं तथा कृपयाविष्टमश्रुपूर्णाकुलेक्षणम् । विषीदन्तमिदं वाक्यमुवाच मधुसूदनः ॥ १ ॥ ##### *sañjaya uvāca* taṁ tathā kṛpayāviṣṭam aśru-pūrṇākulekṣaṇam viṣīdantam idaṁ vākyam uvāca madhusūdanaḥ ##### Sañjaya said: Seeing Arjuna full of compassion, his mind depressed, his eyes full of tears, Madhusūdana, Kṛṣṇa, spoke the following words. ##### TEXT 2 ##### श्री भगवानुवाच कुतस्त्वा कश्मलमिदं विषमे समुपस्थितम् । अनार्यजुष्टमस्वर्ग्यकीर्तिकरमर्जुन ॥ २ ॥ ##### śrī-bhagavān uvāca kutas tvā kaśmalam idaṁ viṣame samupasthitam anārya-juṣṭam asvargyam akīrti-karam arjuna ##### The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: My dear Arjuna, how have these impurities come upon you?
