WORD FOR WORD
yah--anyone who; sastra-vidhim--the
regulations of the scriptures;
utsrjya--giving up; vartate--remains;
kama-karatah--acting whimsically
in lust; na--never; sah--he; siddhim--perfection;
avapnoti--achieves;
na--never; sukham--happiness; na--never;
param--the supreme;
gatim--perfectional stage.
TRANSLATION
He who discards scriptural injunctions
and acts according to his own
whims attains neither perfection,
nor happiness, nor the supreme
destination.
PURPORT by HDG Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta
Swami Prabhupada
As described before, the sastra-vidhi,
or the direction of the sastra,
is given to the different castes and
orders of human society. Everyone
is expected to follow these rules
and regulations. If one does not
follow them and acts whimsically according
to his lust, greed and
desire, then he never will be perfect
in his life. In other words, a
man may theoretically know all these
things, but if he does not apply
them in his own life, then he is to
be known as the lowest of mankind.
In the human form of life, a living
entity is expected to be sane and
to follow the regulations given for
elevating his life to the highest
platform, but if he does not follow
them, then he degrades himself.
But even if he follows the rules and
regulations and moral principles
and ultimately does not come to the
stage of understanding the Supreme
Lord, then all his knowledge becomes
spoiled. And even if he accepts
the existence of God, if he does not
engage himself in the service of
the Lord his attempts are spoiled.
Therefore one should gradually
raise himself to the platform of Krsna
consciousness and devotional
service; it is then and there that
he can attain the highest
perfectional stage, not otherwise.
The word kama-karatah is very significant.
A person who knowingly
violates the rules acts in lust. He
knows that this is forbidden, but
still he acts. This is called acting
whimsically. He knows that this
should be done, but still he does
not do it; therefore he is called
whimsical. Such persons are destined
to be condemned by the Supreme
Lord. Such persons cannot have the
perfection which is meant for the
human life. The human life is especially
meant for purifying one's
existence, and one who does not follow
the rules and regulations
cannot purify himself, nor can he
attain the real stage of happiness.

"By intense service of the Lord, one
can experience the presence of the
Lord transcendentally. Therefore seeing
the Lord means being engaged in
His service because His service and
His person are identical."
(Srimad Bhagavatam 1:6:22)
---------------------------------------------------------------
"O Brahmana Vyasadeva, it is decided
by the learned that the best remedial
measure for removing all troubles
and miseries is to dedicate one's
activities to the service of the Supreme
Lord Personality of Godhead."

"The virtuous descendent of the Raghu dynasty (Sri Raam) easily lifted high the bow in the assembly as thousands of suitors looked on. Having raised it, that mighty Raam did what non-else could do, in stringing it taunt, moreover snapping the bow in two."

In the battle of Lanka You destroy the tenheaded demon Ravana and distribute his heads as a delightful offering to the presiding deities of the ten directions, headed by Indira. This action was long desired by all of them, who were much harassed by this monster.

101 REASONS TO BE A VEGETARIAN
The article reads:
"Recently, my family and I dined in
a vegetarian cafe in New York City. It was very nice, and I would recommend
it if only I could remember what it was called. the cafe distributed free
copies of a free publication called '101 Reasons Why I am a Vegetarian'
by Pamela Rice. this publication is produced by the Viva Vegie Society
of New York (http://www.vivavegie.org).
This concise and well-written booklet
explores health, environmental, and ethical issues. By simply stating the
facts rather than using scare
tactics or passing judgments, this
publication is most compelling. You can view the entire publication online:"

I had a dream the other night. I was
in the old West riding in a stagecoach.
Suddenly, a man riding a horse pulls
up to the left side of the stagecoach, and
a riderless horse pulls up on the
right.
The man leans down, pulls open the
door, and jumps off his horse into the
stagecoach. Then he opens the door
on the other side and jumps onto the
other horse.
Just before he rode off, I yelled out, "What was all that about?"
He replied, "Nothing. It's just a stage
I'm going through."

An insurance salesman was trying to
persuade a housewife that
she should take out life insurance.
"Suppose your husband were to die," he said, "...what would you get?"
The housewife thought for a while,
and then said, "Oh, errrr, I think a
parrot. Then the house wouldn't seem
so quiet."

A humorous, poetic look at cloning.
Mary had a little lamb; whose fleece
was slightly gray,
Didn't have a father just borrowed
some DNA,
Sort of had a mother though the ovum
was on loan,
Was not so much a lambkin as a little
lamby clone
Soon it had a fellow clone and soon
there was some more,
They followed her to school one day
all cramming through the door,
It made the children laugh and sing
and thrilled them to the soul,
But there was just too many lambs
for Mary to control,
No one else could herd the sheep their
imprints didn't vary,
The cloners sought to fix it up by
simply cloning Mary,
So clone they did and Newsweek said
it was extraordinary,
But now they don't know what to do
with Mary, Mary, Mary,.......

HOW CAN WE BE SO SURE OF THE UNCERTAINTY
PRINCIPLE?
Much of quantum physics is premised
on Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle,
which holds that it is impossible
to be sure of basic information about reality.
But what if the Uncertainty Principle
is itself affected by uncertainty, meaning
we'll never really know if it's true?
For example, historians believe that the
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle was
devised by a man named Werner
Heisenberg. But no one was ever able
to obtain a photography of exactly what
Heisenberg looked like--in snapshots,
he appears as a sort of blur--and the
famous researcher was impossible to
contact because he would list his
address only as "somewhere in Europe."
Given this, we cannot rule out that
uncertainty itself invalidates the
Uncertainty Principle, leaving all modern
physics in a state of unresolved crisis--which
would be ideal from the
standpoint of next year's budget requests.
----------------------------------------------------------------
WHO LOST THE MISSING MASS?
According to astronomers, up to 90%
of the matter that ought to exist in the universe appears to be missing.
This is the kind of mismanagement that makes any corporate company look
good. One theory is that the missing mass was shipped to the wrong address.
Another theory holds that the missing mass isn't missing at all, it's just
being hoarded by speculators. But just think of it, most of the universe
has been misplaced! When those responsible are found, heads should roll.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Friendship is the hardest thing in
the world to explain. It's not something you
learn in school. But if you haven't
learned the meaning of friendship, you really
haven't learned anything.
