Sad ityetat prayujyate






praç aste karmaë i tathä

sac chabdaù pä rtha yujyate

“The Absolute Truth is the objective of devotional sacrifice, and it is indicated by the word sat. The performer of such a sacrifice is also called sat.”

'Sadbhä va' means those who have taken birth in the mode of goodness, such as the devotees of Lord Govinda, the demigods, and the brä hmaë as who are purified by the chanting of Gä yatré mantra. It also means a pure appearance (sat ä virbhä va), referring to the appearance of the Lord’s forms in this world, like Virä ö and Nä rä yaë a. 'Sat bhä va' also refers to the person who exists in the eternal place (sat) called Vaikuë ö ha-Dhä ma, the Supreme abode. That person is Nä rä yaë a or Vä sudeva.

'Sat bhä va' also means He who appears with His own pure energy. Kå ñ ë a appears according to His own sweet will with His name, quality, activity and pastimes, and so many opulences and perfections like aë imä etc. in His abode, Ç ré Vå ndä vana.

'Sat bhä va' also refers to the appearance of great devotees (satam), who are born through the guru who gives instructions and initiation, not by a birth from parents under the influence of pious activities accumulated in a previous life.

'Sä dhu bhä ve' means the excellent nature of saintly persons, or the pure nature of their minds, which is produced by hearing the quality, activity, pastimes and the names of the Lord; by studying the scriptures which describe devotional service, such as Ç ruti, Små ti, Vedas, Purä ë as, secondary Purä ë as, Ä gama, philosophy and Paì carä tra etc. and by the association of devotees and other devotional processes.

The word 'sad' is thus used to indicate those demigods and brä hmaë as who are completely surrendered to the Lord, and things which are beyond the modes of passion and ignorance, which are eternal and situated in pure goodness.

Similarly, 'praç aste karmaë i' means the activities in pure goodness performed by a Kå ñ ë a conscious person--all activities in the service of one's spiritual master, the Vaiñ ë avas, brä hmaë as and the devotees of Lord Kå ñ ë a, such as taking the Deity of Lord Govinda on procession, nä ma-ké rtana and saì ké rtana. ‘O Arjuna, son of På tha, the word 'sat' is used in all these and other activities which belong to Kå ñ ë a and His devotee.’ In the next verse, 17.27 He says:

yajï e tapasi dä ne ca

sthitiù sad iti cocyate

karma caiva tad arthé yaà

sad ity evä bhidhé yate

“All works of sacrifice, penance and charity which are true to the Absolute nature, and are performed to please the Supreme Person, O son of På tha, are called sat.”

'Yajï a' refers to Ç ré Viñ ë u -yajï a or all the devotional activities like ç ravaë am, ké rtanam from early morning--to the last offering of flowers when the Lord is put to rest at night. 'Tapa' means having given up fruitive daily and periodic rituals and performing only actions devoted to the Lord. 'Dä na' means serving the great devotees of Lord Kå ñ ë a by the body, mind and speech, with devotion and faith, and, as indicated by the word 'ca', service to satisfy brä hmaë as and all living entities by feeding them.

'Yajï a' can also mean Viñ ë u and service to Him according to the scriptures. These things must be done, and nothing else. The word 'sat' is used always for these sacrifices and such situations, but other kinds of yajï a and activities are described here as 'asat', or illicit. Therefore, the word 'sat' cannot be used there.

'Tad arthé yaà ' means bodily sufferings accepted to execute activities such as sacrifice, charity and penance; collecting donations of money from businessmen; making flower gardens, sitting or resting places; and planting many kinds of plants for the Lord and His devotees. Learned scholars categorize these kinds of activities as 'sat'.

Therefore, the householder devotees of Kå ñ ë a, being born in 'sadbhä va' or in pure goodness, through instructions on the name and mantra of the Lord, should worship only the Lord in all performances, not demigods and forefathers. Simply by worshipping Lord Kå ñ ë a, Govinda, all the demigods and forefathers are worshipped.
