The Vedas nowhere talk about nationalities; there are only Suras (divine natures), whose activity is aimed at creation, and Asuras (demonic natures), whose activity is aimed at destruction.

The conditioned living entities within the material world are divided into two categories.

• People endowed divine nature, lead an orderly lifestyle, that is, follow instructions sastras (scriptures) and instructions from authorities. A person must perform the duties prescribed by authority shastras. This way of thinking is called divine.
• Those who do not follow the commandments of the sacred scriptures and acts on his own whim, called demons, or asuras.

There is only one criterion - following the instructions of the scriptures. The Vedas say that both demigods and demons were born from Prajapati; the only difference is that some follow the injunctions of the Vedas and others do not.

Those who are possessed of demonic qualities and live according to their own whims and do not follow the injunctions of the sastras, in their next life they take birth among the lower beings and become increasingly entangled in the snares of the material world.

Those who have divine qualities and live according to the rules established by the sastras achieve spiritual perfection.

Divine Qualities

• fearlessness
• purification of one's being
• improvement in spiritual knowledge
• charity
• mastery of feelings
• making sacrifices
• study of the Vedas
• performing penance
• simplicity
• non-violence
• truthfulness
• lack of anger
• self-denial
• calmness
• lack of desire to slander
• compassion for all living beings
• lack of greed
• softness
• modesty
• determination
• determination
• ability to forgive
• durability
• purity
• absence of envy

All these twenty-six qualities are transcendental. They should be developed in ourselves depending on what place we occupy in society and what business we do.

If all people consciously develop these qualities in themselves, then, despite the inevitable material suffering, over time they will be able to rise to the highest level of spiritual self-knowledge.

In Vedic civilization there is an institution varnashrama-dharma- Vedic system of dividing society into four classes ( varnas) and four ways of spiritual life ( ashrams).

According to the varnasrama system, society is divided into four varnas:

• brahmins(spiritual mentors and priests),
• Kshatriyas(rulers, administrators, warriors),
• Vaishyas(farmers, traders, entrepreneurs),
• sudra(workers and servants).

It is necessary to state the fact that in our time, the era of Kali Yuga, systems varnashrama-dharma does not exist.

In ancient times, the head of the Vedic society was a pious king, guided in his activities by the advice of court sages and brahmanas. There were kings like Prithu Maharaj, Prahlada Maharaj, Dhruva Maharaj, Lord Ramachandra, Yudhishthira Maharaj and Parikshit Maharaj who ruled kingdoms and nations perfectly for thousands of years. But as predicted in the scriptures, the immaculate system of varnasrama-dharma presented in the Vedas degraded under the influence of Kali Yuga.

In the system varnasramas sannyasi , that is, a person who has renounced the world is considered the head, or spiritual teacher of all other castes and orders.

Brahmins are spiritual teachers for the other three castes: kshatriyas, vaishyas And sudra, however sannyasi standing on the highest rung of the social ladder are spiritual teachers even for brahmins.

Sannyasi should devote his life to spreading knowledge among family people and all those who have forgotten that the true purpose of life is to achieve spiritual perfection. Sannyasi must knock on every door and beg for alms, but this does not mean that he is a beggar. One of the qualities of a truly spiritual person is humility, and that's the only reason sannyasi knocks on every door, not so much to beg as to meet the householders and awaken them to Krishna consciousness. Such is duty sannyasi.

Asceticism- the lot of those who departed from family life. A person should not live with his family until the end of his life; it must be remembered that there are four periods of life: brahmacharya, grihastha, vanaprastha And sannyas. Having completed the period of family life, a person must retire from business. If the duration human life is one hundred years, then the first twenty-five years should be devoted to the study of the Vedas, the next twenty-five years should be spent in family, then for twenty-five years one should lead a life vanaprastha, having retired from business, and then accept sannyas(renounce the world).

These are the rules governing the spiritual life of a person in Vedic society. A person who has retired from family life must perform penance to control the body, mind and tongue. That's the point tapasya. The whole system varnashrama-dharma intended for tapasya. Without it, no one is able to achieve liberation.

The theory that a person does not need to limit himself in any way, that he can continue to do whatever he wants and everything will be fine, does not find support either in the Vedas or in the Bhagavad-gita. Such theories are invented by self-interested preachers who want to increase the number of their followers. Restrictions and rules scare people away. Therefore, those who want to lead people, verbally hiding behind religion, do not require their students to follow any rules and do not follow them themselves. However, the Vedas do not approve of this.

Regarding the quality of Brahmins such as simplicity, then it should be possessed not only by representatives of any one way of life, but by every person, be he brahmachari, grihastha, vanaprastha or sannyasi. A person should be simple and straightforward.

The truth cannot be distorted to achieve selfish goals. Vedic scriptures sometimes contain passages that are difficult to understand. In this case, their meaning must be explained by an experienced spiritual teacher. This is the path to comprehend the Vedas. Word shruti means “to listen to knowledgeable people.” We should not interpret the scriptures in a way that suits us. There are many commentaries on the Bhagavad-gita that distort the original text. We have to explain to people the real meaning of the scriptures, and this can be done only by hearing from a bona fide spiritual master.

Ability to suppress anger. Even if something irritates us, we must restrain ourselves, because when a person gets angry, his whole body becomes polluted. Anger and lust are generated gunas passions, therefore, one who follows the spiritual path must be able to suppress anger in himself.

A person should not look for faults in others or unnecessarily reprimand people. Of course, calling a thief a thief does not mean looking for shortcomings in him, but by calling an honest person a thief, we will cause him a serious insult, which will become an obstacle to our spiritual development.

A person must be very modest and not do anything inappropriate.

Determination, manifested in a person’s ability not to be upset or despair when he fails. Some of our attempts may end in defeat, but this is not yet a reason to be upset. Despite failures, you need to patiently and persistently move along your chosen path.

Not only our mind and body must be pure, but also our actions. This requirement primarily applies to people engaged in business, who must not participate in black market fraud. Nati-manita, lack of desire for honor is a quality that should be possessed Shudras, workers (representatives of the lower class in the Vedic social system). They should not strive to occupy a higher position and achieve honor. They should be content with their place in society. Duty sudra- honor representatives of the upper classes, thus maintaining order in society.

This verse describes the direct path to hell. Demonic people often present themselves as champions of religion and defenders of spiritual progress, although they themselves do not follow any principles. They are always arrogant and proud of their education and wealth. Wanting to be worshiped, they demand respect and honor, although they do not deserve it. They get irritated over trifles and speak rudely and discourteously. They don't know what to do and what not to do. They always do as they please, indulging their own whims, and do not recognize any authority.

These demonic qualities are inherent in them by nature - they receive them in the womb and, growing up, demonstrate them to the fullest.

Demonic qualities

• Pride
• Arrogance
• Vanity
• Anger
• Coarseness
• Ignorance

In our time, the only divine quality that keeps the world afloat is the remnants of truthfulness.

Truthfulness greatly influences our lives, because to have a vision, to have the right vision, to have knowledge of how to live correctly, to have an understanding of the situation, environment, understand the people who surround us. Of course, this all depends on the quality of truthfulness. Because truthfulness has not only an external quality, but it also has an internal function. It carries a certain internal function. Therefore, this is a very practical quality - truthfulness. Many people simply don’t think about this and commit deception without understanding what they are depriving themselves of.

For a successful life, for successful spiritual practice It is necessary to develop divine qualities in oneself. Thanks to this, a person will be able to master his feelings. We cannot get rid of our feelings, but they can be contained within a cultural framework.

Thus, any person should control his feelings. Often one can observe manifestations of demonic feelings, in particular anger And greed. Our feelings influence our whole life, this is especially important in family life. Living according to the scriptures is to develop divine qualities in yourself.

In Vedic times, these qualities dominated in people depending on their mental type. For example, people who are renounced from the world are people who give knowledge to everyone else and improve themselves. Renounced people are the head of the entire society. And in order to accept a renounced way of life, it is necessary to develop in yourself such a quality as fearlessness. In order for a person to impart knowledge, he must lead a clean lifestyle.

Probably each of you sometimes looks at people much higher than you and dreams of someday becoming as big and successful. You look at geniuses in any field and, perhaps, the thought comes to your mind that in some ways they were lucky, and some actually achieved it only thanks to a lucky coincidence of circumstances. Indeed, for a small proportion of people who achieved fame this was the case, but only for a small proportion of people. The rest really were, are and remain geniuses.

O my Lord Krishna! I offer my prayers to You. Please make the bee of my mind desire only the nectar of Your lotus feet, without desiring anything else.

Millions of devotees constantly remember Krishna and chant His name, but they never get fed up with it. Not only do they not lose interest in thinking about Krishna and chanting His holy name, but new incentives constantly arise to continue doing so. Because Krishna is ever renewing.

And not only Krishna himself, but also the knowledge given by Him. "Bhagavad-gita", told five thousand years ago, is re-read again and again by millions of people, each time discovering something new in it. In this way, Krishna, and His name, glory, qualities - in short, everything associated with Him, never fades.

The Lord has an infinite number of incredible qualities, but the most important of them are64 qualities were described in the book of Srila Rupa Goswami "Bhakti-rasamrta-bindhu." These qualities are very attractive to living beings. When we see these qualities in someone, we become strongly attached to that person.

The personal characteristics of the Lord can be divided into two groups. One includes hidden qualities, and the other - manifested ones. When Krishna is covered with clothing, His personal qualities are not visible to the eye. An example of Krsna's hidden personal characteristics is given in the Srimad-Bhagavatam in connection with Dvaraka-lila (His stay in Dwarka as a king). Sometimes Lord Krishna entertained himself by dressing up as a woman. Seeing Him in this form, Uddhava exclaimed, “It is amazing that I feel for this woman the same ecstatic love that I feel for Lord Krishna Himself. It seems to me that this is Krishna disguised as a woman!”

One devotee, seeing the Lord in His manifested personal form of Krsna, began to glorify the beauty of His body: “How magnificent is this personal form of Lord Krsna! His neck is exactly like a shell! His eyes are so beautiful that they seem to rival the beauty of a lotus flower. Its body, with its dark hue, resembles a tamala tree. A helmet of hair protects His head. On His chest is the mark of Srivatsa, and in His hand He holds a conch shell. The beauty of the enemy demon Madhu is so captivating that He can bestow transcendental bliss upon me simply by allowing me to contemplate His transcendental qualities.”

After studying various scriptures, Srila Rupa Gosvami gives the following list of the transcendental qualities of the Lord: 1) He has a beautiful appearance; 2) everything can be found on His body auspicious signs; 3) Its appearance is pleasing to the eye; 4) He radiates radiance; 5) He is strong; 6) forever young; 7) a wonderful language expert; 8) truthful; 9) a pleasant conversationalist; 10) eloquent; 11) highly educated; 12) very reasonable; 13) brilliant; 14) artistic; 15) unusually dexterous; 16) skilled in business; 17) grateful; 18) adamant; 19) knows perfectly how to act according to time and circumstances; 20) looks at everything through the prism of the Vedas (authoritative scriptures); 21) clean; 22) controls himself; 23) decisive; 24) patient; 25) lenient; 26) impenetrable; 27) self-sufficient; 28) impartial; 29) generous; 30) religious; 31) brave; 32) compassionate; 33) respectful; 34) polite; 35) tolerate; 36) shy; 37) protector of souls surrendered to Him; 38) happy; 39) kind to His devotees; 40) He is guided by love; 41) He is all-good; 42) the most powerful; 43) the most famous; 44) everyone's favorite; 45) has a passion for His devotees; 46) very attractive to all women; 47) an object of universal worship; 48) has all the property; 49) revered by everyone; 50) supreme ruler. The Supreme Personality of Godhead has all the fifty transcendental qualities in their entirety, comparable in depth only to the ocean. In other words, the degree to which these qualities are manifested in Him is incomprehensible.

As parts and parcels of the Supreme Lord, individual living entities can also exhibit all these qualities to a small extent when they become His pure devotees. In other words, devotees may possess the above transcendental qualities to some extent, but these qualities are fully present only in the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Besides this, there are other transcendental qualities described in the Padma Purana by Lord Shiva for his wife Parvati and in the First Canto of the Srimad-Bhagavatam - in a conversation between the Earth goddess and the king of religion Yamaraja. It says: “Those who want to become great should be adorned with the following qualities: truthfulness, purity, mercy, perseverance, renunciation, calmness, simplicity, self-control, poise, asceticism, impartiality, forbearance, serenity, learning, knowledge, detachment, wealth, courage, ability to influence people, strength, good memory, independence, tact, radiance, patience, good nature, ingenuity, courtesy, good manners, determination, erudition, responsible attitude to one's duty, possession of everything that brings pleasure, seriousness, perseverance, devotion, glory, respect and absence of false conceit." Those who want to become great souls must possess all these qualities, so there is no doubt that the supreme soul, Lord Krishna, also has them.

Apart from the mentioned fifty, Lord Krishna has five more transcendental qualities, which are sometimes partially shared by personalities like Lord Brahma or Lord Shiva: 51) He is unchangeable; 52) omniscient; 53) eternally updated; 54) sac-chid-ananda (has an eternal body filled with bliss); 55) has all mystical perfections.

In addition, Krishna has five more qualities manifested in the body of Narayana: 56) He has incomprehensible energies; 57) countless universes emanate from His body; 58) He is the original source of all incarnations; 59) killing His enemies, He gives them liberation; 60) He attracts liberated souls to Himself. All these transcendental qualities are miraculously manifested in the personality of Lord Krsna.

In addition to the sixty transcendental qualities mentioned above, Lord Krishna has four more which are not present even in His expansions of Narayana, not to mention the demigods and living beings: 61) He exhibits various wonderful pastimes (especially in childhood); 62) is always surrounded by devotees who have extraordinary love for God; 63) By playing the flute he is able to attract all living beings in all universes; 64) has an extraordinary beauty that cannot be compared with anything in all creation.

Considering these four exceptional qualities of Krishna total number His qualities become equal to sixty-four.

Because the beautiful form of Krishna and His Holy Name non-different from Himself, His Name is identical with His appearance. In this way, remembering Krishna and chanting His holy Name creates a beautiful image of the Lord in the mind of the devotee. As a result, both the Name and the form of Krishna can occupy the mind simultaneously, remaining in complete harmony.
