CC daily 62 – CCM 5.43-46 – Don’t use lack to memory to cover lack of integrity
Thank you Chaitanya Charita Amrit Maddila 5.43 can I how can I lie so here he says nahi kahi nah kahiyo ae mithya vachiyon that you'd not you don't have to speak a flat lie you don't have to speak a white lie you can just say mora kichu nahi kas mairan you can just tell them that I don't remember exactly what happened so the lack of memory is often an excuse to be used to cover a lack of integrity we often we often when we are not able to we have we said I will do something and then we are not able to do it or we don't do it then we sometimes ask we sometimes say that oh who is this what is to be done who is this what is to be done we get this question and we are unable to at that time answer and we just get caught in things so terribly that we no longer know how to move onwards in our spiritual life we need to not to speak of a spiritual life may not be able to move forwards even in our material life we may just get so caught in things that we forget something and it seems it may seem very stupid oh I forgot this thing and because we say that because we say that I was so stupid I forgot that then we end up not doing anything and rather than admit that we forgot we may substitute and say that actually I just did I say that did I actually promise to do that now there are some people who may be suffering from something like ADHD attention deficiency hyperactivity disorder wherein they just have a complete blackout of memory where short short-term memory in terms of what I spoke a few hours ago or what we did yesterday that might just get blocked out and that is a problem for some people but here as Brahmana is being advised by his son to pretend that he does not have the memory and of course person such a claim might be accepted as what is nowadays called as a senior moment a senior moment means that somebody just forgets and ascribes the forgetfulness to seniority ascribes the forgetfulness to old age ascribes the forgetfulness to the senility that comes because of old age and there is a more respectable coating given to this by calling it a senior moment but in this way the younger Brahmana is actually expressing his is giving vent to what is his manipulativeness is we can do a cover-up job over here don't speak a lie but speak up just cover things up by saying that you don't remember it the shunni be prayer chinti the high lemon a canta Bhave chinti Vipra Gopalacharan so when he saw that our whole family was out to stop him he realized that there was no easy way out of dilemma for him he had to deal with the situation in a very intelligent way because if he just gave into them their demand then he would not be able to honor his word but if he just neglected their demand and there could be catastrophic consequences what if his wife stuck to her word and gave up her life if she actually do poison so he what did a tashuni repairer chinti the high lemon so he is hearing this he became worried and now when we face a problem that we and we find it's too complex and it's not easy to solve that problem then what do we do a canta Bhave chinti Vipra Gopalacharan Vipra demonstrates that rather than he also trying to exacerbate that material manipulativeness he actually Vipra Gopalacharan he remembered the lotus feet of Gopal you rescue me you protect me and we will see what his consciousness was and how the Lord reciprocates his consciousness in our future talks. Thank you.
