That is not possible. Narādhamāḥ. Kṛṣṇa says. Na māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ prapadyante narādhamāḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 7.15|BG 7.15]]). Unless one is a devotee, he is a duskrtina, most sinful man, narādhamāḥ, and the lowest of the human being. These are the qualification. So one has to become devotee. If you want to become bhadra, gentleman, you must take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Otherwise it is not possible. Otherwise it is not possible. You are not Kṛṣṇa conscious, at the same time gentleman—that is a false thing, pretender. A bhadra... Here it is said, bhadra. Prahlāda bhadra bhadram te ([[Vanisource:SB 7.9.52|SB 7.9.52]]). And when you become bhadra, gentle, perfect, qualified gentleman, then everything is auspicious for you. There is no inauspicity. Bhadram, everything. The bhadram...

Very nice, Vira-raghavācārya&#039;s explanation. Bhadram aniṣṭa-nivṛttir iṣṭaṁ prāptiḥ. Iṣṭam means &quot;whatever you desire,&quot; because a bhadra, a gentleman, cannot desire anything which is bad. A gentleman will not pray to Kṛṣṇa, &quot;Please give me facility for eating meat.&quot; He&#039;ll..., mean, devotee never prays like that. Therefore abhadra-nivṛttiḥ. He never prays to Kṛṣṇa, &quot;Please give me facility of drinking.&quot; No. Because he&#039;s bhadram. But abhadra will pray, will go to the goddess Kālī: &quot;Mother, give me your prasādam meat.&quot; Abhadra. Why should we eat meat? Abhadra. Therefore this explanation is very nice, bhadram aniṣṭa-nivṛttiḥ. Aniṣṭa... If you eat meat, that means you become implicated in sinful activities. You have to be killed by your enemy, and he will eat you, or you become a goat or a hog or a cow, and your other person will kill you. Just like nowadays this contraceptive, abortion, killing the child is going on, so the same man, again he is killed by the so-called father and mother. It will act. Karmaṇo &#039;anya... Yajñārthe karmaṇo &#039;nyātra karma-bandhana. Unless you act for satisfying Kṛṣṇa—you become bhadra—then whatever you&#039;ll do, there will be reaction. This is nature&#039;s law. You cannot escape. If you have killed an animal, then you must be killed by that animal. Māṁsa. Māṁsa means māṁ sa khadati. When I eat meat, māṁsa, it means, &quot;This animal also will eat me again.&quot; This is māṁsa. Māṁ sa khadati.

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;purport text&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Bhagavān means the Almighty God who is the controller of all opulences, power, fame, beauty, knowledge and renunciation. He is the protector of His pure devotees. Although God is equally disposed to everyone, He is especially inclined to His devotees. Sat means the Absolute Truth. And persons who are servitors of the Absolute Truth are called sātvatas. And the Personality of Godhead who protects such pure devotees is known as the protector of the sātvatas. Bhadraṁ te, or &amp;quot;blessings upon you,&amp;quot; indicates the sages&amp;#039; anxiety to know the Absolute Truth from the speaker. Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, appeared to Devakī, the wife of Vasudeva. Vasudeva is the symbol of the transcendental position wherein the appearance of the Supreme Lord takes place.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;heading&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Prahlāda bhadra bhadram te. And when you become bhadra, gentle, perfect, qualified gentleman, then everything is auspicious for you. There is no inauspicity. Bhadram, everything. The bhadram... Here Vīra-raghavācārya, he explains this word, bhadram aniṣṭa-nivṛttiḥ: &amp;quot;no more anything inauspicious.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Vanisource:Lecture on SB 7.9.52 -- Vrndavana, April 7, 1976|Lecture on SB 7.9.52 -- Vrndavana, April 7, 1976]]: &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;text&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;display: inline;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Prabhupāda: So unless one becomes a perfect devotee, he cannot become a bhadra, gentleman. That is not possible. Narādhamāḥ. Kṛṣṇa says. Na māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ prapadyante narādhamāḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 7.15|BG 7.15]]). Unless one is a devotee, he is a duskrtina, most sinful man, narādhamāḥ, and the lowest of the human being. These are the qualification. So one has to become devotee. If you want to become bhadra, gentleman, you must take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Otherwise it is not possible. Otherwise it is not possible. You are not Kṛṣṇa conscious, at the same time gentleman—that is a false thing, pretender. A bhadra... Here it is said, bhadra. Prahlāda bhadra bhadram te ([[Vanisource:SB 7.9.52|SB 7.9.52]]). And when you become bhadra, gentle, perfect, qualified gentleman, then everything is auspicious for you. There is no inauspicity. Bhadram, everything. The bhadram... Here Vīra-raghavācārya, he explains this word, bhadram aniṣṭa-nivṛttiḥ: &amp;quot;no more anything inauspicious.&amp;quot; Bhadram. Aniṣṭaṁ nivṛttiḥ iṣṭaṁ prāptis ca. Two things, that is bhadram. Very nice, Vira-raghavācārya&amp;#039;s explanation. Bhadram aniṣṭa-nivṛttir iṣṭaṁ prāptiḥ. Iṣṭam means &amp;quot;whatever you desire,&amp;quot; because a bhadra, a gentleman, cannot desire anything which is bad. A gentleman will not pray to Kṛṣṇa, &amp;quot;Please give me facility for eating meat.&amp;quot; He&amp;#039;ll..., mean, devotee never prays like that. Therefore abhadra-nivṛttiḥ. He never prays to Kṛṣṇa, &amp;quot;Please give me facility of drinking.&amp;quot; No. Because he&amp;#039;s bhadram. But abhadra will pray, will go to the goddess Kālī: &amp;quot;Mother, give me your prasādam meat.&amp;quot; Abhadra. Why should we eat meat? Abhadra. Therefore this explanation is very nice, bhadram aniṣṭa-nivṛttiḥ. Aniṣṭa... If you eat meat, that means you become implicated in sinful activities. You have to be killed by your enemy, and he will eat you, or you become a goat or a hog or a cow, and your other person will kill you. Just like nowadays this contraceptive, abortion, killing the child is going on, so the same man, again he is killed by the so-called father and mother. It will act. Karmaṇo &amp;#039;anya... Yajñārthe karmaṇo &amp;#039;nyātra karma-bandhana. Unless you act for satisfying Kṛṣṇa—you become bhadra—then whatever you&amp;#039;ll do, there will be reaction. This is nature&amp;#039;s law. You cannot escape. If you have killed an animal, then you must be killed by that animal. Māṁsa. Māṁsa means māṁ sa khadati. When I eat meat, māṁsa, it means, &amp;quot;This animal also will eat me again.&amp;quot; This is māṁsa. Māṁ sa khadati. Is it all right?&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Indian man: Mām means &amp;quot;me&amp;quot;; khadati means &amp;quot;eat.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Eat me.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Prabhupāda: Yes. This is, means, māṁsa. You cannot escape this. &amp;quot;Life for life.&amp;quot; That is the law everywhere. If you have murdered somebody, you must be killed also. So you can escape the so-called state laws, but you cannot escape the laws of the material nature.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;(aside:) Don&amp;#039;t talk.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;So we should not think independent. We must become bhadra. Then all auspicity will come. These two words, if you can understand... Prahlāda bhadra bhadraṁ te ([[Vanisource:SB 7.9.52|SB 7.9.52]]). If you are not bhadra, then you will remain always abhadra, rākṣasa or asura. And here it is said, &amp;#039;prīto haṁ te asurottamam: &amp;quot;You are the best of the asura family.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Try to please Kṛṣṇa. That&amp;#039;s all. That is our only business. That is our only business, whether Kṛṣṇa is satisfied or not. Then it is, everything, all right. Prīto &amp;#039;ham. Prīto &amp;#039;ham. Here it is said, prahlāda bhadra bhadraṁ te prīto &amp;#039;ham: ([[Vanisource:SB 7.9.52|SB 7.9.52]]) &amp;quot;I am fully satisfied upon you.&amp;quot; Try to satisfy Kṛṣṇa. Then everything is auspicious. And then Kṛṣṇa will... Instead of begging from Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa will beg from whatever you want: &amp;quot;What you want, please tell Me.&amp;quot; The devotee never wants, but Kṛṣṇa is anxious. Here it is said, varaṁ vṛṇīṣva: &amp;quot;You take whatever you like.&amp;quot; So if you simply please Kṛṣṇa, He&amp;#039;ll canvass, &amp;quot;My dear devotee, whatever you want, you take. You can take from Me.&amp;quot; Varaṁ vṛṇīṣva. &amp;quot;So why shall I beg from You?&amp;quot; Now, kāma-pūro asmi: &amp;quot;Whatever you desire, I can fulfill. I am so powerful.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
