A
- A brahma-bhutah, when one is self-realized, when one knows that he's not this body, he's spirit soul, he's part and parcel of Brahman, at that time he becomes joyful. And he sees everyone on the equal footing
- A devotee does not want any kind of material opulence, but such opulence appears before him automatically. He does not have to endeavor for it. Because of his devotional service, he automatically becomes brahma-bhuta
- A devotee is considered to be on the brahma-bhuta platform when he has no material contamination. In the Padma Purana this is also confirmed: mukti means engagement in the service of the Lord
- A liberated person no longer desires external material happiness. This state is called brahma-bhuta (SB 4.30.20), attaining which one is assured of going back to Godhead, back to home. BG 1972 purports
- A living being in his normal constitutional position is fully satisfied in spiritual bliss. This state of existence is called brahma-bhuta or atmananda, or the state of self-satisfaction
- Actual life is spiritual existence, or brahma-bhuta existence, where life is eternal, blissful and full of knowledge
- After coming to the platform of jnana, or the brahma-bhuta state, one ultimately comes to devotional service, in which he completely understands his own position and the position of the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- Although Maharaja Prthu stopped all practice of mystic yoga after realizing Krsna consciousness, he took advantage of his previous practice and immediately placed himself on the brahma-bhuta platform in order to accelerate his return to Godhead
- Although these (brahma-bhuta) living entities undergo severe austerities to rise to the platform of Siddhaloka, they cannot remain there perpetually, for they are bereft of ananda - bliss
- Any education or activity not on the brahma-bhuta platform, the platform of self-realization, is considered to be material and Prahlada Maharaja says that anything material cannot be the Absolute Truth, for the Absolute Truth is on the spiritual platform
- Anyone who engages in rendering transcendental loving service to the Lord is considered to be mukta, or brahma-bhuta
- Anyone who is under the false impression, or anyone who is attracted by false knowledge, he's under the clutches of maya. When there is right knowledge, right conception of life, then one is liberated. That is called brahma-bhuta
- As confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (18.54): Brahma-bhutah prasannatma na socati na kanksati. This is the goal of all living entities
- As it will be seen, actual devotional service begins after liberation. So in Bhagavad-gita it is said, brahma-bhuta. After being liberated, or being situated in the Brahman position, one's devotional service begins. BG 1972 purports
- As long as we are in the subtle and gross bodies, we are suffering under the three modes of material nature. Once we enter into the devotional service of the Lord, we are immediately situated on the platform of brahma-bhuta
- As soon as one realizes that "I am brahma. I have nothing to do with this material world," his all anxieties immediately finished. Brahma-bhutah prasannatma na socati na kanksati
- As soon as we are perfectly situated in that spiritual knowledge, aham brahmasmi, then brahma-bhutah prasannatma na socati na kanksati (BG 18.54). There is no lamentation
- As stated in Bhagavad-gita (BG 18.54), brahma-bhutah prasannatma na socati na kanksati: "One who is transcendentally situated at once realizes the Supreme Brahman and becomes fully joyful"
B
- Because he (Kapila Muni) is on the absolute platform, free from material contamination, he is called paratma-bhuta or brahma-bhuta
- Being situated on the spiritual platform, automatically you achieve your original status, constitutional position, brahma-bhutah prasannatma (BG 18.54). Then you are able to enter into the kingdom of God, or the spiritual world
- Bhagavatam means the science of God. If the science of God is persevered in, we will be situated in the brahma-bhuta status
- Brahma-bhuta is the state of being free from material contamination and situated in the transcendental service of the Lord. Mad-bhaktim labhate param (BG 18.54). BG 1972 purports
- Brahma-bhuta living entities are allowed to stay in Brahmaloka or Siddhaloka, but unfortunately they sometimes again fall into the material world because they are not engaged in devotional service
- Brahma-bhutah prasannatma (BG 18.54). The word brahma-bhuta (SB 4.30.20) refers to becoming a brahmana, or understanding what is Brahman (brahma janatiti brahmanah)
- Brahma-bhutah prasannatma (BG 18.54). Without being fearless, one cannot be joyful. The bhaktas, the devotees, are fearless and always joyful because they are constantly engaged in the service of the lotus feet of the Lord
- Brahma-bhutah prasannatma: (BG 18.54) when one is self-realized he becomes happy and free from the influence of material nature, and at that time he is freed from lamentation and hankering
- But now do you not think that Christianity and Islam accept this (when he is on the platform of Brahman realization, then he becomes jubilant, prasannatma, na socati na kanksati. That life is required, Brahman realization. That is education) as well?
- But on the spiritual platform, everybody (on the material platform, nobody is prasannatma)?
D
- Devotee means the first sign will be happy, brahma-bhutah prasannatma. If he's not prasannatma, he's a rascal. He has not entered even devotional life. He's outside. That is the test
- Devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead is explained in the Bhagavad-gita, where the Lord says that a self-realized person is always in the transcendental state known as brahma-bhuta, which is characterized by joyfulness
E
- Even for the neophyte devotee, devotional service is considered brahma-bhuyaya kalpate (BG 14.26). Devotional service to the Lord is never considered a material activity. Since he is acting on the brahma-bhuta platform, a devotee is already liberated
- Even though one may come to the platform of brahma-bhuta (SB 4.30.20) and understand his spiritual identity by speculative knowledge, one cannot enjoy spiritual life without understanding the Supreme Personality of Godhead
F
- For the fortunate person who has taken shelter of Krsna as everything, liberation is already there. He is no longer in the material world. Whoever is engaged in the devotional service of Krsna is already on the brahma-bhuta, or spiritual, platform
- From that brahma-bhuta status, we have to work, for work is recommended here. So long as we have this material body, we have to work. We cannot stop working; it is not possible
- From your letter it appears that you are a little confused. This means that the consciousness is not clear, brahma-bhutah prasannatma, na socati na kanksati (Bg. 18.54), the clear stage of consciousness is free from hankering and lamentation
H
- Here (4.21.32) the word vijnana is specifically important. Jnana, the knowledge of spiritual identity that one attains when he does not consider himself to be the body, is explained in BG as brahma-bhuta (SB 4.30.20), the revival of spiritual realization
- How one has become Krsna conscious, these are the symptoms, the brahma-bhutah prasannatma na socati na . . . (BG 18.54). We have to understand by the symptoms
I
- If a devotee is able to continue on the brahma-bhuta platform, he enters the spiritual sky automatically after death and returns to Godhead
- If we are situated in brahma-bhuta, we will neither be distressed nor will we hanker. We will view equally everyone and everything. Even if we are situated in the midst of fiery turbulence, we will not be disturbed. That is the mode of goodness
- If you want to rise up to the platform of spiritual realization, then the formula is Sarvopadhi-vinirmuktam tat-paratvena nirmalam (CC Madhya 19.170). That is the beginning. That means beginning is the brahma-bhuta platform
- In due course of time, when Prthu Maharaja was to give up his body, he fixed his mind firmly upon the lotus feet of Krsna, and thus, completely situated on the brahma-bhuta platform, he gave up the material body
- In the material state the living entity is on the jiva-bhuta platform, but when he renders devotional service to the Lord, he is elevated to the brahma-bhuta platform - SB 4.30.20
- In this verse (of SB 9.4.66), the word sama-darsanah is significant. The pure devotee is actually equal toward everyone, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (BG 18.54): brahma-bhutah prasannatma na socati na kanksati/ samah sarvesu bhutesu
- It doesn't matter you are a very great swimmer. When you are in the Pacific Ocean, you are in danger. So similarly, when that very man is taken away from the Pacific Ocean and put into the land, then he becomes prasannatma, - Oh, I am saved
- It is confirmed in the BG 18.54, where the Lord says, brahma-bhutah prasannatma na socati na kanksati: One who is thus transcendentally situated at once realizes the Supreme Brahman and becomes fully joyful. He never laments or desires to have anything
M
- Material contamination means desire to enjoy this material world. That is contamination. We have nothing to do with this material world. Brahma-bhutah. You are spirit
- Material thing, you take this side or that side - there is no question of happiness. When you become brahma-bhutah, spiritually realized, then there is happiness
- My real necessity of life, spiritual life. That is great relief. Brahma-bhutah prasannatma na socati na kanksati (BG 18.54). The relief means there is no hankering, no more lamentation. These are the brahma-bhutah
O
- On the brahma-bhuta platform the living entity is liberated from material bondage, and he engages in the service of the Lord
- On the material platform, there is no possibility of equality, fraternity, or nothing. It is not possible. Unless you come to the spiritual platform, brahma-bhutah prasannatma (BG 18.54), there is no question of equality, fraternity
- Once one engages fully in Krsna's service, he comes to the brahma-bhuta (SB 4.30.20) platform. Presently we are on the maya-bhuta platform, identifying ourselves with maya and working according to the modes of material nature
- One immediately becomes jolly (prasannatma) when he comes to understand "I am spirit soul. I am Brahman. I am not this matter." The sign of this joy is that one no longer feels hankering and lamentation
- One who engages in the spiritual activities of unalloyed DS is immediately elevated to the transcendental platform, & is to be considered brahma-bhuta (SB 4.30.20), which indicates that he is no longer in the material world but is in the spiritual world
- One who has attained this platform (of spiritual realization, or brahma-bhuta) is not agitated by material action and reaction. He sees everyone on the platform of spirit soul (panditah sama-darsinah) - BG 5.18
- One who has understood Brahman, prasannatma, - he's always joyful. He's not disturbed by these material condition
- One who is brahma-bhuta is always happy - prasannatma
- One who is promoted to the transcendental position (brahma-bhuta (SB 4.30.20)) is always jubilant (prasannatma). He is unaffected by the false distinctions between good and bad in the material world
- One who is seriously engaged in devotional service, mam ca 'vyabhicarena bhakti-yogena yah sevate sa gunan samatityaitan, he's already transcendental to the reactions of different modes of material nature. He's already. Brahma-bhuyaya kalpate
- Our actual business is to become brahma-bhutah. So who can become? That is explained already. Krsna has already explained that, Yam hi na vyathayanty ete (BG 2.15). Vyathayanti, - Does not give pain
- Our puffed-up condition on account of this body is illusion, because I am not this body. Therefore brahma-bhutah, those who are self-realized, they are prasannatma. Any condition of life they are happy, jolly
P
- Perfection comes when one realizes that he is not this body; he is spirit soul. Brahma-bhuta (SB 4.30.20) - that is called Brahman realization. That is perfection. And samsiddhi comes after Brahman realization, when one engages in devotional service
- Prasanna means happy mode of life. Brahma-bhutah prasannatma. What is the happy mode of life? Na socati na kanksati. He does not lament. He does not hanker
- Prasannatma means he becomes immediately enlivened: I don't belong to this. Why I am identifying myself with these miseries of material world? I belong to the part and parcel of the Supreme, sac-cid-ananda-vigrahah (Bs. 5.1), eternal, blissful knowledge
- Prasannatma means jubilant. You'll find all our boys and girls, they're always jubilant. Unless they are jubilant, they cannot dance in this way. It is not dancing dogs
- Prasannatma: they'll be happy. Na socati na kanksati: there will be no lamentation or needless hankering. Samah sarvesu bhutesu: they will see everyone on the spiritual platform. And finally, mad-bhaktim labhate param - BG 18.54
- Pure devotional service is so powerful, however, that one may at once take to it without acquiring the previous qualification of brahma-bhuta life
R
- Real business of human life, to understand oneself, that is called self-realization, brahma-bhuta (SB 4.30.20), and find out the remedy and act accordingly. That is the mission of human life. Not like to dance like cats and dogs
- Real Krsna consciousness, when one achieves, he becomes prasannatma, joyful. That is the first symptom of becoming full, Krsna conscious. Prasannatma . . . brahma-bhutah prasannatma na socati na kanksati - BG 18.54
- Regardless of what we have done in our past lives, if we engage ourselves in unalloyed devotional service to the Lord in this life, we will always be situated in the brahma-bhuta - liberated state
S
- Sa gunan samatityaitan brahma-bhuyaya kalpate: one who is engaged in devotional service has already been freed from the reactions of his material karma, and thus he immediately becomes brahma-bhuta (SB 4.30.20), or transcendental
- Self-realization, liberation, the sign is that he becomes joyful, prasannatma, immediately. If you have actually realized yourself, simply by bluffing that "I am God, I am this, I am..." No. There are signs
- Simply by engaging in the loving service of the Lord one can attain liberation. As stated in the Bhagavad-gita (BG 18.54), brahma-bhutah prasannatma na socati na kanksati
- Simply we have to agree, "My Lord, from today, I dedicate my life for Your service," you are immediately brahma-bhutah. Immediately, from that moment. It is so nice. Not that you have to take some time how to become brahma-bhutah
- So long we are materially engrossed, bodily concept of life, there will be always anxiety. This is the test. Anyone who is in anxiety, means he is materially situated. And anyone who is elevated to the spiritual platform, he is prasannatma. He is jolly
- So long we keep ourself as: I am French man," "I am German man," "I am English man," "I am Indian man," or so many there are nationalities, there cannot be any fraternity, equality. We have come to the platform of Krsna consciousness, or brahma-bhutah
- Spiritual life is brahma-bhuta (SB 4.30.20), the self-realized state
- Spiritual life leads us to our original constitutional position free from all designations. This is explained in the Bhagavad Gita as brahmabhutah status
- Spiritual rejuvenation required. Aham brahmasmi: "I am not this body. I am Brahman, spiritual soul." Then you will be happy. Brahma-bhutah prasannatma na socati na kanksati (BG 18.54), samah sarvesu... Then there will be equality, fraternity, brotherhood
T
- The atma-bhuta interest mentioned in this mantra and the brahma-bhuta (SB 4.30.20) interest mentioned in the Bhagavad-gita (18.54) are one and the same
- The inhabitants of the Vaikuntha planets are all brahma-bhuta living entities, as distinguished from the mundane creatures who are all compact in hankering and lamentation
- The Lord has already explained to Arjuna the knowledge of brahmabhuta. One who is in the brahma-bhuta condition is joyful; he never laments, nor does he desire anything. That is due to confidential knowledge. BG 1972 purports
- The perfection of knowledge is certainly to become transcendentally situated (brahma-bhuta) - SB 4.30.20

- The unflinching execution of devotional service is in itself brahma-bhuta
- The word siddha is very significant. Siddha refers to one who has realized the Brahman effulgence & who has complete knowledge that the living entity is not a material atom but a spiritual spark. This understanding is described in the BG as brahma-bhuta
- The word vidanti refers to one who knows something or enjoys something. When a person is properly instructed by a spiritual master & understands transcendental bliss, he enjoys life. As stated in BG (18.54) brahma-bhutah prasannatma na socati na kanksati
- There are many persons who are trying to attain perfection by striving for liberation from material bondage, and those who are actually liberated are called brahma-bhuta
- These (brahma-bhuta) living entities have been described as vimukta-maninah, meaning that they falsely consider themselves liberated although their intelligence is not yet purified
- They (brahma-bhuta living entities) do not properly utilize whatever little knowledge they have of the SPG. Not attaining ananda, or bliss, they come down to the material world to enjoy. This is certainly a falldown for one who is actually liberated
- They (the brahma-jnana, brahma-bhuta) have nothing to do with this material world. Na socati na kanksati. Then he can see everyone on the equal level, samah sarvesu bhutesu
- This (brahma-bhuta) realization is sometimes explained as nirakara, or formlessness. This formlessness does not mean that the soul has no form. The soul has form, but the external, agitating form he has acquired because of material contamination is false
- This brahma-bhutah status means free from all anxieties, without any hankering or lamentation. At that stage only, one can think of universal brotherhood. And the next stage is to be engaged in pure Krishna Consciousness
- This is false claim that brahma-bhutah means one becomes God. No. That means that you come to the light of God
- This lamentation you have got is not good. Brahma-bhutah prasannatma na socati na kanksati. This is not Krishna consciousness. Do not lament, but go on with your collecting engagement enthusiastically
- This material world is actually meant for misery, just as a prison house is meant for punishment. Once we attain our constitutional position of brahma-bhuta (SB 4.30.20), we can enter the kingdom of God, the spiritual world
- This realization. Prasannatma. He has no enemy. He becomes enemyless immediately, because he sees everyone part and parcel of God, everything energy of God, everything belongs to God, everything enjoyable by God, by Krsna
- Those who realize the self, or become brahma-bhuta, are only preparing themselves for the platform of joyfulness. That joyfulness can be actually achieved only when one comes into contact with Krsna
- To attain the platform of pure devotional service, one has to become spiritually pure and attain the brahma-bhuta platform, which is beyond material anxiety and material discrimination
- To become karmi is the third-class stage of life. One has to make progress further, so that one may become self-realized, brahma-bhutah
- To establish ourselves on the pure brahma-bhuta (SB 4.30.20) spiritual platform, above the three modes, we must take up the method of Krsna consciousness
- To understand Krsna and to understand the service of Krsna is very exalted post. Brahma-bhutah. One has to become brahma-bhutah, completely liberated. Then he can understand how to render service to Krsna
W
- We are now encumbered with this material body, and as soon as we become free from this material conception of life, that is called mukti. That is called brahma-bhuta
- We must be under the subjugation of some kind of miseries. But if you become situated in your spiritual platform of life, brahma-bhutah, you immediately become joyful, prasannatma
- We must progress beyond this (brahma-bhuta platform) and come to the platform of bhakti-yoga. On that platform, there is variety and ananda, bliss
- When a person reaches this brahma-bhuta (SB 4.30.20) platform, he sees all living entities equally and becomes a pure devotee of the Supreme Lord
- When he realizes himself that, "I have nothing to gain and nothing to lose; I have nothing to do with this material world," that is called brahma-bhutah. That is Brahman realization

- When one becomes spiritually realized (brahma-bhuta (SB 4.30.20)), he becomes happy (prasannatma), for he is relieved from material conceptions
- When one comes to understand that "I'm spirit soul," aham brahma, "I'm not this matter," so immediately he becomes jolly, prasannatma. And what is the sign of jolliness? Na socati na kanksati. He has no more any hankering, no more any lamentation
- When one is actually self-realized, brahma-bhutah, na socati na kanksati. This is the symptom. Then samah sarvesu bhutesu. Then it is possible to see equally everyone
- When one is freed from this bewilderment and understands that the soul does not belong to any shape of this material world, one is situated on the spiritual platform (brahma-bhuta)
- When one is freed from this bewilderment and understands that the soul does not belong to any shape of this material world, one is situated on the spiritual platform - brahma-bhuta - SB 4.30.20
- When one is self-realized that he is not this body, he is the spirit soul, brahma-bhutah, then what are the symptoms? Now, prasannatma: he becomes immediately very jolly
- When one is undisturbed by the so-called favorable and unfavorable circumstances of this material world, he should be understood to be brahma-bhuta (SB 4.30.20), or self-realized
- When one realizes that "I have no connection with this body, this country, this wife, these children, these are all illusory," that is called liberation. That is called brahma-bhutah prasannatma
- When the living entity is encaged in the material body, he is called jiva-bhuta, and when he is free from the material body he is called brahma-bhuta
Y
- You can simply become joyful, without any anxiety. When? Brahma-bhutah: when you understand yourself, when you understand your spiritual existence
- You possess or not possess, the real disease is anxiety. So when one becomes brahma-bhuta, self-realized, identified with the Absolute Truth, then he has no more anxiety
