Nectar from Maharaj's Diary - Part 5

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

We will continue to relish some more nectar from Maharaj's diary. These are some of the notes written by Maharaj for the verses in 5th chapter of Bhagavad Gita.

Verse 5.15: 
आहार-निद्रा-भय-मैथुनम च सामान्यं एतद पशुभिर नराणां
धर्मो  ही तेषां अधिको विशेषो धर्मेण हीनाः पशुभिः समानाः

āhāra-nidrā-bhaya-maithunaṁ ca sāmānyam etat paśubhir narāṇām
dharmo hi teṣām adhiko viśeṣo dharmeṇa hīnāḥ paśubhiḥ samānāḥ

Eating, sleeping, sex, and defence—these four principles are common to both human beings and animals. The distinction between human life and animal life is that a man can search after God but an animal cannot. That is the difference. Therefore a man without that urge for searching after God is no better than an animal.

Verse 5.19:
सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः ।
सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चिद्दुःखभाग्भवेत्

sarve bhavantu sukhinah sarve santu niraamayaah
sarve bhadraanni pashyantu maa kashcid-duhkha-bhaag-bhavet 

May All be Happy, May All be Free from Illness. May All See what is Auspicious, May no one Suffer.

कफ वातादि दोषेण मद भक्तो न च मां स्मरेत
तस्य स्मरामि अहम् नो चेद कृतघ्नों नास्ति मद परः

kapa vātadi doshena mad-bhakto na ca mām smaret
tasya smarāmyaham no-cet krtagno nāsti mat-parah

कप वातादि दोषों के कारण मेरा भक्त यदि मृत्यु के समय मेरा स्मरण नहीं कर पाता तो मैं स्वयं उसका स्मरण करता हूँ. यदि ऐसा न करूँ तो मेरे से बढ़कर कृतघ्न कोई नहीं हो सकता |

At the time of death, due to phlegm and wind and so on, if the devotee is unable to think of Me, I myself think of him. If I don't do so, then no one else can be considered to be more ungrateful (than I am).

Krishna willing, we will relish some more nectar from Maharaj's diary in the next offering.

Thank you very much
Yours in service of Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva
