Kṛṣṇa has explained, janma karma ca me divyam (BG 4.9). That means activities, transcendental activities. Not that Kṛṣṇa is a zero, full stop. No. Actual activities begins when there is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. These activities, they're my activities temporarily. They will not give us real happiness. Real happiness means when we come to the platform to be engaged in Kṛṣṇa's activities, tapo divyam putrakā yena. Then you will get eternal happiness. That is recommended here. Brahma-sukha does not mean that, as ordinarily they think, that to become brahma-līna or merge into the existence of Brahman. No. That will be explained in the next verse: mahat-sevāṁ dvāram ahur vimukteḥ (SB 5.5.2).

Brahma-sukha, do not think that to become Brahman or to become one with Brahman . . . That is not sukha. That they do not know. Therefore, my Guru Mahārāja used to say, a poor fund of knowledge. By becoming one with the Brahman, Supreme Brahman, that is not actually sukha. If it is actually sukha, then why in the śāstra it is said, āruhya kṛcchreṇa paraṁ padaṁ tataḥ patanty adho ([[Vanisource:SB 10.2.32|SB 10.2.32]])? By very severe austerities they come to the Brahman platform, monism, to become one with the Supreme, but from there he falls down. Why falls down? Anādṛta-yuṣmad-aṅghrayaḥ. Because they have no information of the shelter of the lotus feet of the Lord. Unless you come to that point, then there is no possibility of eternal happiness.

Therefore it is said, tapasya, tapo divyam. That is divyam. Kṛṣṇa has explained, janma karma ca me divyam ([[Vanisource:BG 4.9 (1972)|BG 4.9]]). That means activities, transcendental activities. Not that Kṛṣṇa is a zero, full stop. No. Actual activities begins when there is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. These activities, they're my activities temporarily. They will not give us real happiness. Real happiness means when we come to the platform to be engaged in Kṛṣṇa's activities, tapo divyam putrakā yena. Then you will get eternal happiness. That is recommended here. Brahma-sukha does not mean that, as ordinarily they think, that to become brahma-līna or merge into the existence of Brahman. No. That will be explained in the next verse: mahat-sevāṁ dvāram ahur vimukteḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 5.5.2|SB 5.5.2]]). It will be explained. We shall take up this subject tomorrow.
