Whenever one goes walking in the countryside, inevitably, you’ll come across dog walkers . When they stop and chat with each other, it seems the favourite topic is the characters of their dogs .They are either Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or atheistic, but they all miss the real point . Why ? They have been spoon-fed, unscientific narratives about the nature of consciousness, either by their religious leaders of science teachers .
The fact is clear , the dog has a character, as much as any individual animal , or bird , reptilian, or aquatic etc etc . It’s plane to see . Its self evident, its logical , and using one’s rationale, one must follow the conclusion instinctively.
We have consciousness , we think , feel, and will . So do every other species of life to varying degees . The religious, although trying to approach God, must do so not with mere sentiments but with theological scientific knowledge of life . And the so called scientist must understand Dualism, that a body mind and consciousness are made up of entirely different energies , that is also self evident.
Uneducated and uninformed opinions are being paraded by some religious people as well as atheistic scientists.
The reason the dog walkers are speaking about their dogs’ characters is because, they too have consciousness along with a personality . Its just that their consciousness is passing through the body of a dog , and our consciousness is passing through the body of a human .
But next life ……all change .
Read Bhagavad Gita as it is AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains why.
God is the greatest of listeners, whether it be free minds , free speech, or freedoms of action He hears and facilitates . Free will and determinism within a responsive universe are the divine arrangements for all . The 8,400,000 species within the upper , middle, and lower planetary systems testify to this . Matter follows consciousness , and those following quantum physics may understand. The entanglements of those within their own karmic synchronicities , the freedom lovers , play out . Divinity, along with His agents , quietly watches over proceedings and awaits any signs on sanity , as the state governor might watch over the prisoner. When the prisoner has done with his independent expression of what he or she called freedom , the prisoner is let out to experience real freedoms . In absolute terms, real freedoms are calculated by those who are free from any karmic synchronicities that cause frictions , bias, and hatred . Such pure hearted and wise persons can bring into focus harmonized affairs , the greater picture of what freedoms mean , beyond the conditioned self-centred state . One should know all discord is harmonized in the absolute.
Actually, freedoms of expression with purity of consciousness and love are unlimitedly exhibited by those who are able to add bliss to the overall spiritual and harmonious affairs where the Supreme Personality, who is the most generous spiritual beneficiary resides . Krishna is the master of love , as such, the ever increasing ocean of trancendental bliss continues to expand.
Lord Krishna indicates there are four ways of understanding how the temporarily situated and engineered universe exits. With such knowledge, one can become free from its attractions and the dualities that bring . 1, Vedic knowledge 2,direct perception 3 traditional wisdom 4. Logical induction. Thanks to modern scientific research, it’s clear and easily seen that the orderly universe has an order supplier . Codes and informational exchanges in the making of each individual body show that , and the unexplained stability of the laws of physics is also a self-evident truth . It is witnessed by direct perception and objective sciences. It’s something that generations of ancestors experienced and wrote about within cultures in every part of the world . Also, applying Nyaya logical induction , one knows for sure that smoke means fire . Equally code’s and informational exchanges mean there is certainty that consciousness is behind it . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Chapter one sets the scene and some of the causes of the battle of Kurukshetra. Chapter two brings a summary of all the topics .
Bhagavad Gita
Prescribed duties and trancendental duties , their interactions and their complementary nature as well as therapeutic benefits
The peripheral and the cor purposes of Divine life …
Lord Krishna tells all Bhagavad Gita Chapter three.
Bhagavad Gita as it is ..
The reasons for Lord Krishna’s appearance as well as the progressive nature of all types of duties and sacrifice that culminate , when performed correctly , under the instructions of the Vedas and saintly persons , to Knowledge of Krishna in all His different apects of His unlimited Personality and expansions are discussed in the forth Chapter of Bhagavad Gita personally by Krishna to Arjuna. ..
Bhagavad Gita .
The fifth chapter explains that persons acquiring knowledge through an intellectual endeavour to understand God or those that act purely within their duties in honest and respect ways towards mankind and all creatures are both on the same path , because the sincerity of purpose to act religiously or piously or to seek God by inner searching are both pleasing to God . When pure and exclusive devotion is added to any of these proccess, Divinity begins to be found . Thus, jnana yoga or karma yoga are one and the same when correctly initiated under the guidance of the Vedas and saints .
Bhagavad Gita.
The sixth chapter describes the path of mystic yoga, but Krishna has also summarised the general qualities of the yoga paths of all kinds .Those which bring one to the point of seeing the true equality of all beings and further seeing clearly that everything and every person are situated within the universal form of God . As the yogi advances further , Krishna explains in the 6th chapter that one can also understand God in his own heart and take inspiration from Him directly Ultimately , the successful yogi can enter the spiritual planets and personally associate with Krishna in one of the many abodes therein, and accordingly, different relationships are experienced as each individual desires .. Importantly, Krishna says any endeavour for yoga and communication with God is never lost , even if not completed . Next life, it automatically begins again ..
Bhagavad Gita
In chapter seven, Lord Krishna brings a scientific explanation in a summary form of this material world , both the metaphysical and physical world is touched upon . Later in the Bhagavad, Gita Krishna will elaborate much further on all these maters as well as cosmological affairs. Krishna, in chapter seven, also details the various varieties of psychological conditioning of the living beings and the effects these material conditions have on a consciousness, including the individual choices that are made . It should be clear free will , determinism, and the responsive universe is at the heart of the Bhagavad Gita.
Bhagavad Gita.
In chapter eight, the all pervasiveness of Divinity , how He is situated both within and outside the universe, are discused . Further and more detailed explanations of destinations of different persons who practice mystic yoga are here .Easy journeys to other planets according to the situation of the cosmological position of particular stars determine destinations . The all-around responsive universe means Krishna and His multifarious energies are in full control ..
Bhagavad Gita
In Bhagavad Gita Chapter nine, extensive knowledge of Krishna’s Godhood is given , in one sense, God is everything .Explanations of how He is nearby but far away , He is inside but outside, He is everywhere but nowhere, for instance . Further discusion is also given about how He helps those that want to know Him , many arrangements are detailed of how that takes place Some people , it is mentioned in this chapter want other opulences in life and do not want a specific relationship at present with Krishna , so details of other destinations for those who worship ancestors of demigods are delineated. .
In a world where businessmen control the 3rd rate political classes, anything goes . Like poisoning people literally with chemicals ,they are everywhere , and its getting worse . Everyone knows it but ignores it . The health effects of chemicals as well as radiation with our accessive computer and smartphone use will come back to haunt society . Plastic is another problem , it’s everywhere and even raining from the sky . Thus, simple living and high thinking have been replaced by the illusions of a greater existence that, in reality, pollute our bodies , dumbs our intelligences, and agitates our minds . Can anything be done to tame this out of control sophisticated animal . Maybe in time. Vote in the intelligensia , avoid the fools who allow themselves to be controlled by those that do us harm . Return us all to a balance within nature and a search for inner consciousness. That’s the Vedic way. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Currently, the USA ,China, and Russia, unfortunately, are carving up the world, India remains independent and prefers the traditional and learned cultures rather than the path of extreme liberalisation chosen by EU . EU has lost the plot a long time ago, it appears , and is being washed away in its centralised liberalists ideals, which it appears addicted to . The UK under Starmer, who is the great EU lover , is endangered of also being washed away . Best find balances , with conservation of family traditions, cultural traditions and anciant theological values that are based on knowledge of mind , matter and consciousness along with compassion and the curtailing of the influences of scientific materialism with the atheistic Darwinian survival of the fittest written all over its greedy financial and economic systems of governance.
The symptom of the soul is not just consciousness but also personality. Do you know of any individual consciousness particle that doesn’t exhibit it .
Even a small fish within an aquarium will exhibit particular ways of responding to circumstances and humans much more so .
The human being is a special benediction, and much can be achieved , even direct communication with Divinity says every theological text .
Human beings must first overcome the lower animalistic traits described in many ways but summarised as lust , anger , greed , envy, and general illusion .Imperfect senses , cheating , mistakes, and bewildered consciousness affect the material personality
The original pure personality full of blissful, non envious loving exchanges is experienced within the highest realms of existence where Divinity and trancendental personalites dwell .
The process of a purificatory lifestyle and therapeutic endeavours are contained within the Srimad Bhagavatam and Bhagavad Gita , the real purposes of human life is to throw off the mud of conditioned life .
New age philosophical and psychological quacks are misguiding many and adding more and more mud like substances that cover the pure personality, and are replacing it with pseudo psychological teaching in the name of liberalisation and freedom.
One should return to the trancendental ways and the traditions of family values that chalk the progressive and the well trodden paths of the elevated saints and their followers.
In bringing in the modern multicultural liberalisation of societies , look out for extremes that do more harm than good , although their intentions may have been to overcome many other types of misunderstandings and applications of traditions. The Vedic Way is the balanced way with the true intelligensia at its heart .
Wild horses, the unthinking, and the unintelligent
Karl Marx said religion suppressed people and thought he knew better . A path to freedom from conformity and authority , Karl thought , was intellectually , mentally, and physically highly appropriate and would bring great happiness . Why did he then and many others today, think it is appropriate to treat life in that way ? Life should not be a guessing game of following a speculative intellect. We have experience that a child needs the authority of the loving parent . A parent who has the appropriate experience and widom to nourish and guide the child . Obviously, conformity is the best course of action for the child . In bringing a child education and development of character both for the child , there is a balance to be struck between suppressing a child’s inner nature and insisting and imposing certain standards designed to bring out a child’s nature in healthy beneficial ways .
In reality Marx proudly sought to control people and bind them to his way of thinking , but who is his authority ? We can ask ourselves what knowledge he has ? Before accepting any authority, we must know who their authority is . If we find their speculative minds have cobbled up a philosophy in life , taken from other similarly minded speculative persons with world or scientific views , why would we want to put our faith in such speculative subjectivity . We must be very, very careful , not to place our faith in persons who are not worthy. Everything someone says or does needs our thoughtful considerations . One should consider how they know they know , and how do they know they know . It’s important in Vedic culture that the principal of knowledge decending rather than only ascending should be examined .Conservative values stem from traditional cultures and ultimately from scientific theological cultures, those that evaluate mind , matter and consciousness, all three should be objectively studied and clearly understood.
Generally, people are driven by their temporary material senses and minds and are reliant on a limited faltering intelligence and an accepting and rejecting mind that can be very easily out of control.
Like five wild horses, without guidance and supervision a chariot they are pulling will be headed for disaster. The horses are like our senses and the reign of the mind must bring them under control. That means the driver , the intelligence, needs to be selective of direction .An uncontrolled mind with no real intelligence can drag people into many unwanted situations and world veiws .
The intelligence is recommended in every theological science to be always in contact with his eternal passenger . The Supersoul or the Holy Ghost . Such theological intuitive searchings generate much inner inspiration . This decending process is criticality important for truth to become known . However, conformation is needed from those who historically have walked on the path , Divinity has pure representations, who know Him well, and they must be recognised. The Vedas indicates contact within the super subjective realm should be sought and identified . As a student, seeks a proven expert in any particular field of material knowledge.
Today, globalists , politicians, and scientists control the people and in the name of freedoms , bind the people in temporary illusions and uncontrolled hankering. Why , because it suits a particular economic plan that favours the exploitative business man . Economic development has superceded common sense. In reality, they, along with their enabelers, get the unthinking to follow the unintelligent and equally unthinking . They have no long-term vision , and profit at any cost is their motto .
Consequently, the horses of everyone’s senses and minds are completely out of control, and the world is becoming increasingly unstable with widespread suffering worldwide that is getting worse.
We must seek the super subjective realm and bring sanity back to everyone’s lives helping others do the same .We must all seek out the real intelligentsia .
The whole of the Bhagavad Gita gives us clear indications of who they are .We must accept the rational and logical part of our consciousness, and except God has rationale, and thus, communication between Him and His parts and parcels is always ongoing , seek truth and it will be found .
A great and important philosophical question posed by Vrajanatha in Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur’s Jiva Dharma, the occupation of the soul .
The Vedas indicates we are manifest from Lord Balarama, the first expansion of Krishna, and because the soul is part of Him , and Krishna always been , we could conclude, so have we . Within Krishna are unlimited expansions , thus the simultaneous one and difference can be looked at in this way , or as Jiva Goswami says in his Tattva Sandarbha verse 43 , Krishna makes the impossible possible , by manifesting totally separate entities with free will .
We also have to understand the expression , “ time immemorial ,” we can not fathom times beginnings.
Balarama brings forth the ” dormant ” Jivas , it could be understood in this way , because He wants to increase Krishna’s pleasure. We are not dead stones or downloads of Balarama , but we have free will . The more we use our free will for its intended purpose , the more freedom we can experience . On our being “manifest ” , just as a good father tells us all about the proper and beneficial way to conduct life for our greatest benefits , similarly Balarama , our original father , by His example brings freedom of expression, love and attraction . Spontaneously, the living beings reveal their consciousness by their own personality and personal attractions . Love is always voluntary and can never be forced . The complete and full existence of Divinity. the most complete, is only ever understood by love. Indeed Sanatana Goswami has shown in his litrature in the pastime of Gopa Kumar , that when Gopa Kumar finally returned to a spiritual world, the Lord was waiting and embraced him saying “where have you been I have missed you and have been waiting?” Such is the Love of the Supreme Father of all .
It’s indicted by Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur , the jiva enters a tatasta state , which is understood as the impersonal Brahman , those that are not inclined to share their consciousness remain in impersonal bliss . However , for want of activity , they come to the material planes , to ultimately refine their activity and experience life without God as their friend. Ultimately we must learn that Krishna is Rasaraja the king of exchanges of love .This movement of the jiva from the brahman energies is completed by a ” transporational” glance , the living being is injected into matter.
Each Jiva reveals their state of consciousness , thus the Jiva is connected automatically either to Maha maya or Yoga maya ,i.e., the spiritual or material energies , according to their free spirit . It appears our consciousness having this free spirit, connected itself to Maha maya , we are in the material realms . Balarama obviously detected such independence of desires and arrangements that they were made , automatically through ethereal planes in the multidimensional unlimited space time . Initially with relatively exalted consciousness . Mahamaya or Durga Devi has the task of providing an illusion of artificial lordship and thus temping one to enjoy, and further entanglements begin .
Some people say God knows everything, but does He know when you will turn in Love towards Him , and how you will love Him and the intensity ?
In conditioned consciousness, one is firmly in God’s energy, as the high court judge knows the destination of the criminal, so a harmful soul is under God’s grips , with predicable consequences . Not a pure soul , he has his full freedom and is consequently unpredictable, love is dynamic. Ever increasing loving exchanges with the master of love Divinity or Krishna takes place unlimitedly.
Not too much oneness , not too much difference..this needs considering..
“That means we all individual beings, we are individual constitutionally. God is the father or creator or whatever, or the source of all life, or source of our existence. Whatever you like, you can say. So we have…, we have been created in that way. Eko bahu syāma. God has become many. This is also version of the Vedas that many, all these many, we are also god. Just like the fire diffuses its sparks. The sparks coming out of the fire, it is the…, they are also part and parcel of the fire. Similarly we, we are all parts and parcels of the Supreme.”
“Now, He wanted to become many. He wanted to become many, so He has become many, and we are that many. So we are not different from God. We are not different from God, but because He wanted to become many, so we are the many. Now, thing is, when God wanted to become many, there must be some purpose behind this. Otherwise, why did He like to become many? He was one, one without second. That’s all right. But why did He become many? So that is a question, one must like to put, that “Why God became many?”
“So that is, that answer is that because God is sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha [Bs 5.1],”
“[Kṛṣṇa who is known as Govinda is the Supreme Godhead. He has an eternal blissful spiritual body. He is the origin of all. He has no other origin and He is the prime cause of all causes.]”
“He’s all-pleasure—therefore, without many, there is no pleasure. Just like here I sit down the whole day alone, but I become more active and more pleasing when you come. Whenever we want to enjoy some pleasure, pleasure is not enjoyed alone. Pleasure is enjoyed with many. Now God is by nature… He’s ānandamayo ‘bhyāsāt [Vedānta-sūtra 1.1.12].”
The words of Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada. The founding Acarya of ISKCON
Spiritual life is a place where our pure consciousness , uncontaminated by the inferia material energies , has a form constructed not of atoms , elements or compounds along with a flickering mind that is self serving and accepting and rejecting based on the failing intellect , all of these conditions brought about by ignorance , neglect , envy , and self seeking .No , none of these things , but what is the nature of the beauty and love and variagatedness and how is it permanently exhibited in ever new ways . One should seriously consider the analytical nature of Vedic psychology. Nothing is more thorough. Dust on a mirror is wiped clean , revealing the clear, uncontaminated reflection that was present all along .
The artistic community in all their colours, ie writers , film makers , musicians, etc etc , are serving a good purpose within society if they inspire people to examine life to think philosophically about it utalising the objective sciences that are within everyone’s vision .. If the artists sell out to scientific materialism, Darwinian hypothesis or extreme forms of political liberalism or extreme forms of dictatorships, then they fail in their duties to uplift or examine . Then they have lost their independent artistic natures and have become tools of the political or scientific systems.
Life is never extreme. Rather, there are countless paths that consciousness can follow , and following the consciousness is a responsive universe awarding the inculcabable bodies and situations spread far and wide within this localised planet and within the universe which is part of a multiuniversal reality says the Vedas .
Conformity is meant for education and enlightenment, and it is Divinities’ desire for everyone to experience the best that life can offer . Everything is relatively good, but we must understand absolutes if we want to realise our full potential.
That’s the Vedic way , and expert members of the intelligentsia know how everything is to be balanced.
The unthinking person creates havoc and does great harm .
