INERTNESS<\/p>\n
In the Tenth Canto, twenty-first chapter, verse 13 of \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam, there is an appreciation by the gop\u012bs of the inertia of the cows in V\u1e5bnd\u0101vana. The gop\u012bs saw that the cows were hearing the sweet songs vibrated by K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a\u2019s flute and were appearing to be drinking the nectar of these transcendental sounds. The calves were stunned, and they forgot to drink the milk from the milk bags. Their eyes seemed to be embracing K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, and there were tears in their eyes. This is an instance of inertia resulting from hearing the transcendental vibrations of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a\u2019s flute.<\/p>\n
When Lak\u1e63ma\u1e47\u0101 became disturbed upon hearing words against K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, she remained inert and did not move her eyelids. This is another example of inertia caused by hearing.<\/p>\n
In the Tenth Canto, seventy-first chapter, verse 39 of \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam, there is an account of King Yudhi\u1e63\u1e6dhira\u2019s bewilderment after his bringing K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a into his home with the greatest respect. King Yudhi\u1e63\u1e6dhira was very much bewildered because of his transcendental pleasure at having K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a present in his house. In fact, while receiving K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, King Yudhi\u1e63\u1e6dhira forgot himself. This is an instance of inertia resulting from the ecstasy of seeing K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a.<\/p>\n
There is another instance in the Tenth Canto, thirty-ninth chapter, verse 36 of \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam. When K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a was going to Mathur\u0101, all of the gop\u012bs were standing behind K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, and upon seeing the chariot leaving, they stood there stunned and did not move. They remained like that until the flag of the chariot and the dust thrown up by its wheels became invisible.<\/p>\n
K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a was once addressed by His friend thus: \u201cMy dear Mukunda [K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a], due to their being separated from You, the cowherd boys are standing just like neglected Deities in the house of a professional br\u0101hma\u1e47a.\u201d There is a class of professional br\u0101hma\u1e47as who take to Deity worship as a means of earning their livelihood. Br\u0101hma\u1e47as in this class are not very interested in the Deity; they are interested mainly in the money they can earn as holy men. So the Deities worshiped by such professional br\u0101hma\u1e47as are not properly decorated, Their dress is not changed, and Their bodies are not cleaned. They look dirty and are not very attractive. Actually, Deity worship should be done very carefully: the dress should be changed daily, and as far as possible there should be ornaments. Everything should be so clean that the Deity is attractive to all visitors. Here the example is given of the Deities in the house of a professional br\u0101hma\u1e47a because such Deities are not at all attractive. The friends of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, in the absence of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, were appearing like such neglected Deities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
