A
- According to Vedic instructions, there are two paths for human activities. One is called pravrtti-marga, and the other is called nivrtti-marga. The basic principle for either of these paths is religious life. In animal life there is only pravrtti-marga
- All living entities are rotating throughout the universe, going sometimes up to the higher planetary systems and sometimes down to the lower planets. This is the material disease, which is known as pravrtti-marga
- Any human being who is attached to this pravrtti-marga - sex, meat-eating, intoxication, gambling - he is dvi-pada-pasu, two-legged animals. This is pravrtti-marga
- Asura, demons, demonic civilization, demonic people, they do not know what is pravrtti and what is nivrtti. Pravrtti means material civilization, and nivrtti means spiritual civilization
- At the present moment the whole civilization, throughout the whole world - everyone is trying to get more money. More money means more sense enjoyment. This is called pravrtti-marga
F
- Factually, however, pravrtti-marga is based on sex life. As stated in Srimad-Bhagavatam (SB 7.9.45), yan maithunadi-grhamedhi-sukham hi tuccham. A householder who is too much addicted to pravrtti-marga is actually called a grhamedhi, not a grhastha
- Following the pravrtti-marga, the living entity who desires to be promoted to the higher planetary systems performs sacrifices regularly, & how he goes up & comes down again is described here in Srimad-Bhagavatam (7.15.50-51), as well as in Bhagavad-gita
I
- If people take advantage of these books they can stop this pravrtti, this intense desire for enjoying this material world
- If the human form of life is also utilized for this purpose (food, sleeping comfort, sex life and defense), pravrtti-marga, then it is, as I was talking in the park, it is just like using sandalwood for burning fuel
- If we go in the pravrtti-marga, increase our sense gratification propensity, then we shall be entangled, and in this way . . . as human beings you have got advanced stage
- If you want from Krsna sense enjoyment, He will give you all facilities. But Krsna does not want. Krsna said, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja (BG 18.66). That is His mission, that - You will never be happy in this process of pravrtti-marga
- In the material world, every living entity has a desire to lord it over the material world as much as possible. This is called pravrtti-marga. All the sastras, however, advise nivrtti-marga, or release from the materialistic way of life
- In this verse (SB 4.25.39) the woman is advocating pravrtti-marga only and is discouraging the path of nivrtti-marga
O
- Our Krsna consciousness movement is training devotees to give up the pravrtti-marga and accept the nivrtti-marga in order to return home, back to Godhead
- Our this Krsna consciousness movement is not pravrtti-marga - nivrtti-marga. Because if we go to the pravrtti-marga, increasing the propensity of sense gratification, then that is very dangerous
P
- Pravrtti-marga maintains that even though one has the propensity for sense gratification, he can gratify his senses according to the directions of the Vedic injunctions
- Pravrtti-marga means he has got intention, desire for material enjoyment. So he's regulated, "Do like this," so that he may come to the point of nivrtti-marga
- Pravrtti-marga means if you want to enjoy the senses whimsically, as much as you like, that is called pravrtti-marga. And the other marga, way is the crossing, the nivrtti-marga: no more sense gratification. That is called nivrtti-marga
- Pravrtti-marga means increasing the propensity of sense enjoyment. That is called pravrtti-marga. And there is another way, nivrtti-marga: decreasing the propensity for sense gratification
- Pravrtti-marga means sense enjoyment, and nivrtti-marga means spiritual advancement. In the life of animals and demons, there is no conception of nivrtti-marga, nor is there any actual conception of pravrtti-marga
- Pravrtti-marga or nivrtti-marga, so we have to become fixed about these things. We cannot be deviant
S
- She (the woman) clearly says that the yatis, the transcendentalists, who are concerned only with spiritual life (kaivalya), cannot imagine the happiness of pravrtti-marga
- So you should be very, very careful how to follow the rules and regulation. That is nivrtti-marga. If we still remain in pravrtti-marga, then we will not be able to make any advance in spiritual life
T
- The material distresses are birth, old age, disease and death, but those who are interested in pravrtti-marga hold various religious functions at the time of birth, old age, disease and death
- The modern man does not know. They are neither educated about this pravrtti and nivrtti. And we are speaking on nivrtti, and all of them are in the pravrtti. So they cannot understand. It is foreign to them. They have no idea what is spiritual life
- The path of pravrtti-marga was condemned by Narada. That path is the natural inclination for all conditioned souls
- The propensities for eating flesh, drinking wine and enjoying sex are all natural to the conditioned soul. The path of such enjoyment is called pravrtti-marga
- The social orders are divided into four parts - brahmacarya, grhastha, vanaprastha and sannyasa - and only in the householder life can the pravrtti-marga be encouraged or accepted according to Vedic instructions
- The Vedas prescribe two different types of occupation for the human being. One is called the pravrtti-marga, or the path of sense enjoyment, and the other is called the nivrtti-marga, or the path of renunciation
- There are two ways of living. One way of living is called material enjoyment, or sense enjoyment. This is one way of life. In Sanskrit it is called pravrtti-marga: how to enjoy more, more, more, more, more. This is called pravrtti-marga. That is going on
- These (pravrtti-marga and nivrtti-marga) are directions for enjoying the material world according to regulative principles and then giving up the material world for higher spiritual understanding
- These are important instructions given directly by Lord Krsna (Srimad-Bhagavatam 11.20.31). Sri Uddhava asked the Lord about the two kinds of instructions given in the Vedas. One instruction is called pravrtti-marga, and the other is called nivrtti-marga
- This (SB 7.15.50) is explained in Bhagavad-gita (BG 9.21): When those who follow the pravrtti-marga have enjoyed heavenly sense pleasure, they return to this mortal planet again. Thus, through the Vedic principles, they achieve only flickering happiness
- Those interested in materialistic activities remain in the cycle of birth and death. Pravrtti-marga, or the inclination to stay in the material world to enjoy varieties of sense gratification, has been explained in the previous verse - SB 7.15.50-51
- Those who are not brahmanas but atheists do not know what is pravrtti-marga or nivrtti-marga; they simply want to obtain pleasure at any cost
- To bring these fools and rascals from the pravrtti-marga to nivrtti-marga, this is Krsna consciousness. Therefore we have got . . . (indistinct) . . . sense gratification. Then we cannot imitate. That is the whole Vedic process
W
- We are eternal, we are existing, and on account of impurity we have got this material body, but it is subjected to the laws of material nature, and we have to change one after another. This is pravrtti-marga
- We don't restrict to the ordinary man, but if one comes forward to become our student, serious student, then he must follow this pravrtti-nirvrtti. Otherwise he remains asura
- When one gives up voluntarily for higher status of life, that is called nivrtti-marga. Pravrtti-marga and nivrtti-marga. Pravrtti-marga means to fulfill these desires. But when one is trained up to give up these habits, that is called nirvrtti-marga
- Why studying so many books? For the sake of establishing real religious life. Sad-dharma. There are two kinds of dharmas, religious, religions: pravrtti-marga, nivrtti-marga. Pravrtti-marga means materialism, and nivrtti-marga means spiritualism
- Without caring for the distresses of birth, old age, disease and death, they (those interested in pravrtti-marga) are addicted to performing the special functions according to the Vedic ritualistic ceremonies
