Translation

Traducción

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is very merciful to the poor, will fulfill all of your desires, for devotional service unto Him is infallible. Any method other than devotional service is useless. That is my opinion.

La Suprema Personalidad de Dios, que es muy misericordioso con los pobres, satisfará todos tus deseos, pues el servicio devocional que se Le ofrece es infalible. Cualquier otro método que no sea el servicio devocional es inútil. Esa es mi opinión.

Significado

There are three kinds of men, who are called akāma, mokṣa-kāma and sarva-kāma. One who tries to get liberation from this material world is called mokṣa-kāma, one who wants to enjoy this material world to its fullest extent is called sarva-kāma, and one who has fulfilled all his desires and has no further material desires is called akāma. A bhakta has no desire. Sarvopādhi-vinirmuktaṁ tat-paratvena nirmalam. He is purified and free from material desires. The mokṣa-kāmī wants to achieve liberation by merging into the existence of the Supreme Brahman, and because of this desire to merge into the existence of the Lord, he is not yet pure. And since those who want liberation are impure, what to speak of the karmīs, who have so many desires to fulfill? Nonetheless, the śāstra says:

Hay tres clases de hombres, que se denominan akāma, mokṣa-kāma y sarva-kāma. Mokṣa-kāma es aquel que intenta liberarse del mundo material; el que desea disfrutar al máximo del mundo material recibe el nombre de sarva-kāma; y akāma es aquel que ha satisfecho todos sus deseos hasta el punto de no tener ya ningún deseo material. El bhaktano tiene deseos. Sarvopādhi-vinirmuktaṁ tat-paratvena nirmalam. Está purificado y libre de deseos materiales. El mokṣa-kāmī quiere fundirse en la existencia del Brahman Supremo, para de ese modo alcanzar la liberación; debido a ese deseo de fundirse en la existencia del Señor, todavía no es puro. Y si quienes aspiran a la liberación son impuros, ¿qué decir de loskarmīs, que tienen tantos deseos por satisfacer? No obstante, el śāstra dice:

akāmaḥ sarva-kāmo vā
mokṣa-kāma udāra-dhīḥ
tīvreṇa bhakti-yogena
yajeta puruṣaṁ param

“Whether one desires everything or nothing or desires to merge into the existence of the Lord, he is intelligent only if he worships Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, by rendering transcendental loving service.” (Bhāg. 2.3.10)

«La persona inteligente es aquella que, tanto si lo desea todo como si no desea nada, como si desea fundirse en la existencia del Señor, adora al Señor Kṛṣṇa, la Suprema Personalidad de Dios, ofreciéndole servicio amoroso trascendental» (Bhāg. 2.3.10).

Kaśyapa Muni saw that his wife, Aditi, had some material desires for the welfare of her sons, but still he advised her to render devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In other words, everyone, regardless of whether he is a karmī, jñānī, yogī or bhakta, should invariably take shelter of the lotus feet of Vāsudeva and render transcendental loving service unto Him so that all his desires will be duly fulfilled. Kṛṣṇa is dīna-anukampana: He is very merciful to everyone. Therefore if one wants to fulfill his material desires, Kṛṣṇa helps him. Of course, sometimes if a devotee is very sincere, the Lord, as a special favor to him, refuses to fulfill his material desires and directly blesses him with pure, unalloyed devotional service. It is said in Caitanya-caritāmṛta (Madhya 22.38-39):

Kaśyapa Muni vio que su esposa, Aditi, abrigaba deseos materiales en relación con el bien de sus hijos; aun así, le aconsejó que ofreciera servicio devocional a la Suprema Personalidad de Dios. En otras palabras, sin importar si somos karmīs, jñānīs,yogīs o bhaktas, todos, invariablemente, debemos refugiarnos en los pies de loto de Vāsudeva y ofrecerle servicio amoroso trascendental; de esa forma todos nuestros deseos se verán satisfechos. Kṛṣṇa es dīna-anukampana: es muy misericordioso con todos. Por lo tanto, cuando alguien desea ver satisfechos sus deseos materiales, Kṛṣṇa le ayuda. Por supuesto, a veces, cuando el devoto es muy sincero, el Señor le favorece de manera especial negándose a satisfacer sus deseos materiales y bendiciéndole directamente con servicio devocional puro y sin mezclas. En el Caitanya-caritāmṛta (Madhya 22.38-39), se dice:

kṛṣṇa kahe, — ‘āmā bhaje, māge viṣaya-sukha
amṛta chāḍi’ viṣa māge — ei baḍa mūrkha
āmi — vijña, ei mūrkhe ‘viṣaya’ kene diba?
sva-caraṇāmṛta diyā ‘viṣaya’ bhulāiba

“Kṛṣṇa says, ‘If one engages in My transcendental loving service but at the same time wants the opulence of material enjoyment, he is very, very foolish. Indeed, he is just like a person who gives up ambrosia to drink poison. Since I am very intelligent, why should I give this fool material prosperity? Instead I shall induce him to take the nectar of the shelter of My lotus feet and make him forget illusory material enjoyment.’” If a devotee maintains some material desire and at the same time very sincerely desires to engage at the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa may directly give him unalloyed devotional service and take away all his material desires and possessions. This is the Lord’s special favor to devotees. Otherwise, if one takes to Kṛṣṇa’s devotional service but still has material desires to fulfill, he may become free from all material desires, as Dhruva Mahārāja did, but this may take some time. However, if a very sincere devotee wants only Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet, Kṛṣṇa directly gives him the position of śuddha-bhakti, unalloyed devotional service.
