“How to go back to Home, back to Godhead, that is Buddhi”

Prabhupada, Mayapur, February 16, 1976: In the Bhagavad-gita you’ll find this word, buddhi-yoga. What is that buddhi-yoga? Buddhi-yoga means yena mam upayanti te, dadami buddhi-yogam tam. That is buddhi-yoga. Intelligence means to know how to go back to home, back to Godhead. That is intelligence, not that intelligence how to cheat you, how to get some money, hook and crook. That is not intelligence.

That intelligence I see I was… Hari-sauri, I was explaining that, that even ant, a small ant, as soon as there is a drop of sugar juice, immediately, within a second, hundreds of ants will come: “Here is a drop of sugar juice.” This is nature’s study.

This kind of buddhi-yoga or buddhi, intelligence, how to eat, how to sleep, how to have sex and how to defend, even in the ant there, this buddhi-yoga is there. That is not buddhi-yoga. To endeavor too much for the ahara-nidra-bhaya- maithunam ca, that is not considered buddhi. That buddhi, intelligence, is there even in the ant, a small ant.

The real buddhi- yoga is how to be engaged in devotional service of the Lord. That is buddhi-yoga. How to become first-class devotee of Krishna. That is called buddhi-yoga. Buddhi-yogam dadami tam yena mam upayanti te. That is buddhi-yoga. How to go back to home, back to Godhead, that is buddhi.

  1. Pamho agtacbsp, when the intelligence is trapped through mental misconception, speculation …one don’t get the buddhi yoga to go back home especially if they are fully and foolish convinced which is another form of senses gratification therefore they are missing the chance to become krsna conscious and without krsna consciousness one don’t get enough intelligence to get out from this unwanted society born from the refusal to serve krsna through false ego ,f-iskcon is full up by ex butchers who got diksa from fake guru and make them to cook for the deities, first of all krsna run away from there because of unqualified citizens in the guise of brahmana who are full of rubbish through their fake misconception , anyway everything is recorded in the mystical body of SRI KRSNA they can’t escape to all their ugram horrible karma.agtacbsp ys haribol
