Progressive steps and the bone fide paths .
The Srimad Bhagavatam reinforces the importance of recognizing bone fide theological texts from all the religious cultures that distinguish reality from illusion for the welfare of all beings . This recognition is based on dualism and the need for a scientific approach to what consciousness is . Enquiries into spiritual cultures and philisophical thoughts is essentially something that satisfy the inner human spirit on so many different levels . Western cultures that are unnecessary slanted in extreme and overly extravagant ways , geared at satisfying unbridled minds and unbridled senses , that have been promoted by atheistic speculators , who also teach scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis as fact based sciences , have a lot to answer for . Every theological text places an emphasis on regulated and disciplined lives . Control of minds and senses opens up the consciousness to its full communicative potential with not only other humans but potentially with Divinity Himself . Humans are not supposed to live like sophisticated animals, and ultra liberalism is always condemned , but so are those that claim to be religious, but who cannot see the true equality of all beings or who show disregard for other cultures and theologies .Unbridled senses lead to greater anxiety and entanglements , something businessmen are clueless about, and they dont care . The Vedas recognize every theological text and religious culture that pursues and teaches these types of lifestyle . These methods of gradually developing scientific realisations about our consciousness are systematically explained in the Vedas . For example , karma yoga , jnana yoga , astanga yoga, and Bhakti yoga bring us these different approaches . In other words, consciousness development through 1, Good works linked to recognised pious activities, and that elevates our consciousness. 2 . Seeking knowledge through science , philosophy, and learning of the mind , matter and consciousness , and 3 , Deep inward religious or spiritual meditations on God leading to an esoteric plane . The Bhagavatam seeks to link all these different processes to Bhakti or direct devotion to Divinity in services and a development of love . These systematic processes , when followed properly , they bring progressive steps that benefit the individual, and pure knowledge of dualism is thoroughly revived, leading to knowledge and remembering God with degrees of love . These truths of the Bhagavatam are 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 in the association of self realised persons and follow prescribed methods . Chanting the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra , or any of the names of God in current times , the Bhagavatam says , can quickly bestow all the truths of the Vedas upon persons who can chant without offence 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 and full of knowledge. In this way, there are incalculable benefits when one vibrates any trancendental sound vibrations that properly glorify God with sincerity. They have effects on the inner workings of our consciousness , and truth follows truth . When one has become purified by such trancendental sounds , one’s community , one’s society , one’s country , and ultimately the universal order and its originator Divinity are all immensely pleased . By such purified actions of speaking truth and vibrating Gods names in a sacrifice with the aim of serving Gods interests , as well as studying and hearing the trancendental sounds of the Srimad Bhagavatam everyone’s 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.
