Progressive theological paths and practices.

Progressive steps and the bone fide paths .

Mar 1st, 2025

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 . HIGHLIGHTED IN 1.1.2 THE CULTURE OF PURE DEVTION AS OPPOSED TO MIXED MOTIVATED OR CHEATING DECEITFUL SO CALLED DEVOTION .  RSABDEVA TAUGHT NOT TO BECOME TEACHER. PARENT HUSBAND FATHER , UNLESS YOU CAN DELIVER DEPENDENTS BACK TO GÒDHEAD
