The way of the pilgrims

A pilgrims progress..

Progressive steps and the bone fide paths .

The Srimad Bhagavatam reinforces the importance of recognizing bone fide theological texts from all the great religious cultures that  distinguish reality from illusion for the welfare of all beings .We should know that anything done for the pleasure of God is never forgotten and brings permanently situated benedictions , even if its only a beginning , automatically next life one starts from where one left off in a spiritual progress of  consciousness . This recognition by the Vedas of multicultured theologies is based on dualism and a scientific approach to what consciousness really is . Religion is never just a sentiment , if necessarily requires a degree of science. Consciousness is distinctive and not  comprised of matter it is situated in all living beings.  Enquiries about  spiritual cultures and philisophical thoughts are essentially human qualities,  and something that satisfies the inner human spirit on so many different levels , those humans that don’t make this inquiry are wasting their lives , they became sophisticated animals . Progressive and systematic steps of approach to psychological matters , philosophy,  and theological sciences are clearly laid out in genuinely represented spiritual cultures by their first class representatives . Western materialism , based on scientific materialism and cultures that are unnecessarily tainted towards extremes , that are  overly extravagant bring   deviations to human consciousness and engulf it  within unlimited  unrestricted sense gratification .  Libertine cultures,  are missing the point of the glories of our consciousness . Their goals are merely to satisfy the demands of the body , whatever that takes , however,  they are never satisfied , their senses burn like fire , literally they pour petrol on the fire of the senses  . The libertine cultures are geared  only towards satisfying unbridled minds and unbridled senses . This lifestyle  has been promoted by atheistic speculators , who also teach scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis as fact based sciences this is  cheating sciences.  They certainly have a lot to answer for , as we look at the state of the modern world . They also  bring misrepresentations of objective sciences and replace them with subjective speculations . 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 because it degrades our consciousness potential .   Those who  claim to be in possession of theological knowledge  but who can not see the true equality of all beings or who show disregard for other cultures and theologies , are at most in early stages of real spiritual knowledge . Unbridled senses lead to greater anxiety and entanglements . Something businessmen are  totally clueless about, and they dont care . The Vedas  recognize every theological text and religious culture that pursues and teaches progressive consciousness  lifestyles . 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 , 

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 towards Him . These systematic processes , when followed properly ,  bring those  progressive steps that benefit the individual, and pure knowledge of dualism is thoroughly revived . This  leads to knowledge and remembrances of God . 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 this  will 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 knowledge is revived . 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 , purity, and truth, which brings further truths . When one has become purified by such trancendental sounds  , our  community , our society , our  country , and ultimately the universal order along with its originator ,  Divinity , are all immensely pleased . By  purified actions and glorifying the universal order and vibrating  truth, Gods names will reveal themselves .  By sacrifice with the aim of serving Gods interests , as well as studying and hearing the trancendental sounds of the  Srimad Bhagavatam  everyone lives become 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.
