You Can’t Control Yourself — But Want to Be a Guru? | Srila Prabhupāda | SB 1.16.20 | EP-47 Follow us on WhatsApp Community https://chat.whatsapp.com/KvT5zuNjyfr... In this powerful class on Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.16.20, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda explains the real qualifications of first-class human life. As Kali-yuga progresses, four pillars decline: • Duration of life • Mercy • Memory • Religious principles Why is the bull of religion standing on one leg? Why is human society degrading toward caṇḍāla standards? Who is truly qualified to become a guru? Śrīla Prabhupāda explains: – Varṇa is based on quality and work (guṇa & karma) – A devotee transcends all material qualities – One must become dhīraḥ (fully sober & self-controlled) – Controlling the tongue, belly, and genitals is essential – A spiritual master must first be self-realized – Religion without śāstra becomes cheating Through references from Bhagavad-gītā, Upadeśāmṛta, and Vedic examples like Lord Śiva and Kardama Muni, this lecture exposes the difference between real spiritual life and imitation. Spiritual leadership begins with self-control. ⏳ Timestamps 00:00 – Opening mantra & verse SB 1.16.20 01:34 – Translation explained 04:30 – Four things lost in Kali-yuga 08:45 – The bull of religion standing on one leg 12:20 – Degradation from brāhmaṇa to caṇḍāla 17:00 – Varṇa system: guṇa & karma explained (Bg 4.13) 21:30 – Transcending the three modes (Bg 14.26) 27:40 – Why unqualified teachers are cheaters 32:00 – Sādhu-śāstra-guru principle 36:15 – Controlling the urges (Upadeśāmṛta 1) 42:10 – Tongue: the strongest enemy 48:30 – Meaning of dhīraḥ (Bg 2.13) 54:00 – Lord Śiva example of perfect self-control 1:02:20 – Kardama Muni example 1:08:00 – No birth limitation in Kṛṣṇa consciousness (Bg 9.32) 1:13:30 – Four regulative principles 1:16:00 – Final instruction: chant and be happy ✅ Key Reflections ✅ Kali-yuga gradually destroys life, mercy, memory, and religion ✅ Human degradation begins when purity in eating declines ✅ Varṇa is determined by quality and work—not birth ✅ A devotee transcends the three modes of nature ✅ One who is not self-realized cannot teach spiritual life ✅ Real guru must control tongue, anger, mind, belly, and genitals ✅ Dhīraḥ means sober even in agitation ✅ Spiritual life requires following sādhu, śāstra, and guru ✅ Anyone—even from lower birth—can attain perfection through devotion ✅ Following four regulative principles purifies the heart 📖 Related Scriptures: Srimad-Bhagavatam, Bhagavad-gita, Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu #srilaprabhupada #lectures #harekrishna #iskcon #harekrishnamovement #krishna #bhagavadgita #bhagavatam #bhagavatamclass #srimadbhagavatam #katha #guru #guruji #acharya #srilaprabhupadalectures #srilaprabhupada #lectures #harekrishna #iskcon #harekrishnamovement #krishna #bhagavadgita #bhagavatam #bhagavatamclass #srimadbhagavatam #katha #guru #guruji #acharya #srilaprabhupadalectures The Acharya, Srila Prabhupada Srila Prabhupada Lectures Srila Prabhupada Lectures in Hindi Srila Prabhupada Lectures in English Srila Prabhupada Festival Lectures Srila Prabhupada Bhagavad Gita Lectures Srila Prabhupada Bhagavatam Lectures Srila Prabhupada Srimad Bhagavatam Lectures Srila Prabhupada Chaitanya Charitamrita Lectures Srila Prabhupada Nector of Devotion Lectures Prabhupada Lectures, Acharya, Bhagavad Gita As It Is
