Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

The natural commentary of Vedānta-sūtra is Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Jīvasya tattva-jijñāsā na . . . jīvasya tattva-jijñāsā. This is our life, jīvasya, of every living being. Every living being means especially human being. Because cats and dogs, they cannot inquire about Brahman, or the Absolute Truth. Therefore the conclusion is that the human form of life, one should not be engaged simply in the animal propensities of life. That is simply waste of time. He must inquire of the Absolute Truth, athāto brahma jijñāsā. And he must try to understand, tad viddhi, tattva-darśibhiḥ, from the tattva-darśī. Jñāninaḥ tattva-darśinaḥ, these are the words.

In Vedānta-sūtra, how you can it is advaita-vāda? It is dvaita-vāda, from the very beginning. Athāto brahma jijñāsā. One must inquire what is Brahman, and one must reply, or the spiritual master or the disciple, that it is dual. How you can say it is advaita-vāda?

So we have to study in this way. Here it is said, tattva-darśibhiḥ. Tattva-darśibhiḥ means Vedānta-vit, one who knows Vedānta. Janmādy asya yataḥ (SB 1.1.1): one who knows the Absolute Truth, from where everything begins. Janmādy asya yataḥ. That is the beginning of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.

So the natural commentary of Vedānta-sūtra is Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Jīvasya tattva-jijñāsā na . . . jīvasya tattva-jijñāsā. This is our life, jīvasya, of every living being. Every living being means especially human being. Because cats and dogs, they cannot inquire about Brahman, or the Absolute Truth.

Therefore the conclusion is that the human form of life, one should not be engaged simply in the animal propensities of life. That is simply waste of time. He must inquire of the Absolute Truth, athāto brahma jijñāsā. And he must try to understand, tad viddhi, tattva-darśibhiḥ, from the tattva-darśī. Jñāninaḥ tattva-darśinaḥ, these are the words.
