Sanatana Goswami -advanced than Arjuna...

Govinda is in all of them.. Coolie no.1 , Hero no. 1, and the list goes on an on.... :)
Yes Govinda is no. 1.. Brahma , the creator of this material world , tells this..
Isvarah PArama Krsna...
Sachidanda Vigraha..
Anadir Adir Govinda..
Sarva Karana Karanam,..

So Dear .. stop competing in becoming no.1 , the only thing one can become is Fool no.1 .
Sanatana Goswami starts his conversation with Chaitanya Mahaprabhu saying .. I am fool no .1 but this people think i am a Pandita (How different is he from me, we say that i am a pandita and if people say so.. we think oh he/she has only understood me)..
Sanatana Goswami says
"'ke ami', 'kene amaya jare tapa-traya'iha nahi jani-'kemane hita haya'"
("What are the causes of my miseries, and what I am? What is my position?")

Srila Prabhupada in his commentary writes that Sanatana Goswami was more advanced than Arjuna.Quoting Prabhupada.. "So the first lesson, the inquiry of Sri Caitanya, of Sanatana Gosvami, is that "What I am? What I am?" Arjuna did not place himself "What I am?" but here, because the instruction which is given in the Caitanya-caritamrta is practically higher than Bhagavad-gita -- it is postgraduate study, higher than Bhagavad-gita. In the Bhagavad-gita the, Arjuna, he did not question "What I am?" He was perplexed with this bodily conception. Now here, Sanatana Gosvami he, he thinks that "I'm not..., I do not know what I am." So he's advanced than Arjuna. He accepts that "I do not know."
So because he inquired that ke ami-ke ami means "What I am?" -- therefore Lord Caitanya directly informs him first that jivera svarupa haya krsnera nitya dasa [Cc. Madhya 20.108].

Krpana .. Brahmana. and Devotional life

I had missed this till i reread..
See the purport to Bhagavad Gita 2.7 by Srila A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
yo va etad aksharam gargy aviditvasmaû lokat praiti sa kripanah.
Ya etad aksharam gargi viditvasmaû lokat praiti sa brahmanah. (Brihad-aranyaka Upanishad (3.8.10) )

This human form of life is a most valuable asset for the living entity who can utilize it for solving the problems of life; therefore, one who does not utilize this opportunity properly is a miser. On the other hand, there is the brahmana, or he who is intelligent enough to utilize this body to solve all the problems of life
To solve one needs to do devotional service. Now heres again the thing...(BG 2.44)
bhogaisvarya-prasaktanamtayapahrta-cetasamvyavasayatmika buddhihsamadhau na vidhiyate
Translation
In the minds of those who are too attached to sense enjoyment and material opulence, and who are bewildered by such things, the resolute determination for devotional service to the Supreme Lord does not take place.
So you know wheres the root cause.. now try to solve it with G&G's mercy..

Resolute in purpose

vyavasayatmika buddhir
ekeha kuru-nandana
bahu-sakha hy anantas ca
buddhayo 'vyavasayinam
Those who are on this path are resolute in purpose, and their aim is one. O beloved child of the Kurus, the intelligence of those who are irresolute is many-branched (BG 2.41)

wanted to give myself a kick and get into the blogging world again and what a way to go than this verse. have changed the way my post used to look..
