Sri Krishna's instructions to Sanatan

[anadi]

Namaskar anadiji

In the sloka “ tabat karmani” it is said that until one attains sradhya bhakti in hearing narrations about sri krishna, he can practise karma
( does prescribed karmas means Nitya naimittik karma ?).

Dandavat jopmala,

well, karma (prescribed activity) is the activity according one's dharma (prescribed duty), the other possibilities are vikarma and akarma.
The prescribed duty according varnashram dharma system is called naimittk (occasional) dharma, that one has to fulfill in a particular life.

Nitya Dharma is the eternal Dharma, the eternal duty of the soul, when one realizes one's spiritual body and the loving relation with the Lord of one's heart.
To attain this level one has to get to the meditational type of bhakti, which in the case of Gaudiya Vaishnavas is called Raganuga sadhan bhakti.

sevA sAdhaka-rUpeNa siddha-rUpeNa cAtra hi |
tad-bhAva-lipsunA kAryA vraja-lokAnusArataH ||

Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu 1.2.295

The devotional service should be done -sevA atra hi
in the body of practitioner (externally)- sAdhaka-rUpeNa
and in the perfect (spiritual) body (internally) - ca siddha-rUpeNa
Desiring to obtain a particular state of love - tad-bhAva-lipsunA ,
the most important (the essence) is to follow -sArataH kAryA anu
the residents of Vrindavan - vraja-loka

Krishna Das Kaviraj re-affirms Sri Rupa’s statements in Madhya 22.156-157:

bāhya, antara, — ihāra dui ta' sādhana
'bāhye' sādhaka-dehe kare śravaṇa-kīrtana

'mane' nija-siddha-deha kariyā bhāvana
rātri-dine kare vraje kṛṣṇera sevana

This (Raganuga bhakti) is really a dual Practice - ihārata' dui sādhana
external (and) internal - bāhya antara
Externally in the trainee body one does hearing and chanting - bāhye sādhaka dehe kare śravaṇa kīrtana
In the mind one does visualize (imagine) one's own perfect body - mane kariyā bhāvana nija siddha-deha
and day and night (in the mind!)one does service for Krishna in Vraja - ratri-dine kare sevana kṛṣṇera vraje.

nitya-siddha kṛṣṇa-prema 'sādhya' kabhu naya
śravaṇādi-śuddha-citte karaye udaya

The eternal perfect love for Krișna - nitya-siddha prema kṛṣṇa
is not obtain at a particular time - naya sādhya kabhu
Beginning with hearing (about the pastimes of the Supreme Lord) - ādi śravaṇa
The heart is purified and it (love) awakens - citte śuddha karaye udaya

Caitanya Caritamrita 2.22.107-108

ei ta sādhana-bhakti — dui ta' prakāra
eka 'vaidhī bhakti', 'rāgānugā-bhakti' āra

This bhakti practice is of two kinds - ei ta sādhana-bhakti dui ta prakāra
One bhakti follows the general vaishnava regulative principles - eka bhakti vaidhī
the other bhakti follows the attachment (or the feelings of the residents of Vrindavan for Krishna) - āra bhakti rāgānugā

rāga-hīna jana bhaje śāstrera ājñāya
'vaidhī bhakti' bali' tāre sarva-śāstre gāya

The persons without attachment (to follow the feelings of the residents of Vrindavan for Krishna) - jana hīna rāga
do worship according the general knowledge of vaishnava writings - bhaje śāstrera ājñāya
saying that vaidhī bhakti - bali vaidhī bhakti
it is glorified in all spiritual writings - tāre gāya sarva-śāstre

Madhya 22.85-90

ata ātyantikaḿ kṣemaḿ
pṛcchāmo bhavato 'naghāḥ
saḿsāre 'smin kṣaṇārdho 'pi
sat-sańgaḥ sevadhir nṛṇām

Therefore, o sinless one, I ask you - ataḥ anaghāḥ bhavataḥ pṛcchāmaḥ
About the supreme auspiciousness - ātyantikam kṣemam
(Answer): association with the spiritual realized person - sańgaḥ sat
Even for a half a second - api ardhaḥ kṣaṇa
Is the treasure of mankind - sevadhiḥ nṛṇām
In this perishable world - asmin saḿsāre

Tika:
This is a quote from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (11.2.30).

satāḿ prasańgān mama vīrya-saḿvido
bhavanti hṛt-karṇa-rasāyanāḥ kathāḥ
taj-joṣaṇād āśv apavarga-vartmani
śraddhā ratir bhaktir anukramiṣyati

In the association of the saints – prasańgāt satām
Through discussion about My wonderful activities - saḿvidaḥ mama vīrya
Is possible to taste the flavor -bhavanti rasa-ayanāḥ
Of those narrations in the heart in the ears –kathāḥ hṛt karṇa
By these activities (one steps) quickly - tat joṣaṇāt āśu
On the road of liberation (from the material world) -apavarga vartmani-
And one after another (one gets) -anukramiṣyati-
Faith (in the Lord), -śraddhā
Divine attraction (for Him) -ratiḥ-
(and finlly) devotional service (for the Lord) (in one owns spiritual body - siddha deha) -bhaktiḥ.

Tika:
This is a quote from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (3.25.25).

asat-sańga tyāga ei vaiṣṇava-ācāra
strī-sańgī eka asādhu kṛṣṇābhakta āra

Renounce the association with those devoid of spirituality -tyāga sańga asat
Take to the vaishnava behavior - ei ācāra vaiṣṇava
One devoid of spirituality associate with women - eka asādhu strī-sańgī
Another is not a devote of Krișna - āra abhakta kṛṣṇa

satyaḿ śaucaḿ dayā maunaḿ
buddhir hrīḥ śrīr yaśaḥ kṣamā
śamo damo bhagaś ceti
yat-sańgād yāti sańkṣayam

teṣv aśānteṣu mūḍheṣu
khaṇḍitātmasv asādhuṣu
sańgaḿ na kuryāc chocyeṣu
yoṣit-krīḍā-mṛgeṣu ca

na tathāsya bhaven moho
bandhaś cānya-prasańgataḥ
yoṣit-sańgād yathā puḿso
yathā tat-sańgi-sańgataḥ

By that association (with those devoid of spirituality) - yat-sańgād (asadbhiḥ)
truthfulness, cleanliness, mercy, silence - satyaḿ śaucaḿ dayā maunaḿ
intelligence, modesty, beauty, fame , forgiveness - buddhir hrīḥ śrīr yaśaḥ kṣamā
internal equilibrium , controlling the senses and opulence - ca śamo damo bhagaś
are thus destroyed, by that association - yāti iti sańkṣayam yat sańgāt

Among those you don’t have to associate are - teṣu na kuryāt sańgam
The one devoid of peacefulness, the ignorant devoid of knowledge about the soul - aśānteṣu mūḍheṣu khaṇḍita-ātmasu
The one devoid of spirituality, the lamenting one - asādhuṣu śocyeṣu
And the one who is like a toy animal played with by women - ca mṛgeṣu krīḍā yoṣit

The illusion due to association with anything else - mohaḥ bhavet prasańgataḥ anya
Doesn’t bind one (to this world) in such a measure - na bandhaḥ tathā asya
Like association with women (opposite sex) - yoṣit-sańgāt
As well as (the association) with people associating with people who associate with women - yathā puḿsaḥ tat-sańgi-sańgataḥ ca

Tika:
The quotes were given from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (3.31.33-35), where the Supreme Lord Kapiladeva, instructed His mother.

instead of calamity of being associated with persons - na vaiśasam saḿvāsa jana
lacking godly consciousness - vimukha cintā śauri
