thank you so here hiranyara is giving us a philosophical vision of the suffering that is inevitable in material existence he is acknowledging the reality of the suffering by saying the chakra of kala is there which is ajaya which is unconquerable and the influence of this chakra of kala which is that i am being crushed when i surrender to you so why surrender to you because you are transcendental conquered with remorse you are never succumbed to that you are not only you are not only beyond the world why we are in this world but you also have the your own existence, your own abode is beyond this world. So, tam hinitritaatma guna svadhamna kaalo vashikrut visrujya visarga shakti Kaalo vashikrut So you have conquered over Kaala although Kaala has conquered over a billion people.
Right? You have conquered that Kaala And that understanding that Krishna is above Kaala is critical for us to understand how we can go beyond Kaala. Right now we are crushed by Kaala. And the way we go beyond Kaala is by remembering Krishna by taking shelter of Him who is above Kaala.
So, as sadhakas, an awareness of philosophical basics is important for us to not let the world’s unending problems distract us from our spiritual pursuits. There are many problems at the material level Adhyatmik, Adhibhautik, Adhidaivik and the Bhagavatam encourages us to think of them not just as specific isolated problems coming to us but as the representations of the wheel of samsara i.e. nishpit nivanam upakarsha i.e. that is actually crushing us. So, the specific problems confronting us are not our real problem.
Our real problem is the problematic nature of material existence itself. So, though at a material level, while living here we may have to deal with specific problems at a material level in whatever way is practically possible but that alone will never make our life better. Our life will become better only when we learn to raise our consciousness and take it to the spiritual level so that we can tolerate and transcend the material problems.
So, therefore, Pilad Maharaj is praying over here that upakarsha vibho brahpannam you are vibho, I am anu, I am nishpit nivanam therefore I surrender to you. So, the time when we pray, we chant, we focus exclusively on Krishna is the time that we need to use to direct our heart based on our head towards Krishna and when we thus focus on Krishna knowing that all the problems that we are facing are not the specific problems that we need to solve they are representatives of the ultimate problem of disconnection with Krishna and consumption in matter that is our real problem and that problem can be solved by focusing on Krishna everything else is bound to be problem filled but to the extent we will remember Krishna to that extent we will be able to rise beyond the problems and ultimately we will attain a world of Vaikuntha that is beyond all such problems entirely.
