Progressive steps and the bone fide paths .


The Srimad Bhagavatam reinforces the importance of recognizing bone fide theological texts from all religious cultures that distinguish reality from illusion for the welfare of all beings . This recognition is based on consciousness development and not on the unnecessary extravagance of satisfying an unbridled mind and senses . Every theological text will place an emphasis on regulated and disciplined lives , humans are not sophisticated animals, and ultra liberalism is condemned . Unbridled senses lead to greater anxiety and entanglements , and so the Vedas recognize every theological text that pursues and teaches these controls and regulations . This guidance and its methods are explained through karma yoga , jnana yoga , and astanga yoga . In other words, through 1, good works linked to recognised pious activities , 2 . Seeking knowledge through science and understanding of mind , matter and consciousness , and 3 ,deep inward religious or spiritual meditations on God . The Bhagavatam seeks to link all these processes to Bhakti or direct devotion to Divinity . These occur in progressive forward steps that benefit the individual . This truth of the Bhagavatam is specifically taught by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu, whose hidden appearance is predicted in the 11th canto of the Bhagavatam as the incarnation for this age . He taught that one should study the Bhagavatam and chant the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra , or the names of God , which bestow all the truths of the Vedas upon persons who can chant without offence to others and in great humility . It is said in many theological texts sound can bind one or liberate one , if one speaks in anger and envy one is bound in ignorance , if one speaks in peace and knowledge and compassion one can become liberated . In this way, there are incalculable benefits when one vibrates trancendental sound vibrations and they have effects on the inner workings of consciousness . When one has become purified by trancendental sound , one’s community , one’s society , one’s country , and ultimately the universal order and its originator Divinity Himself are all immensely pleased . By such purified actions speaking truth and vibrating Gods names in a sacrifice with the aim of serving His interests and by studying and hearing the trancendental sounds of the Srimad Bhagavatam life becomes perfected .
