Unless one is a connoisseur of trancendental taste of artistic mellows ,one will find no need to enter a spiritual plane or possess a spiritual body, 8,400,000 other options of material bodies are available in the varieties of species of life , remember, mutations of the ACTG of a genetic code , do not cause speciation , rather a supervision of gentic codes ,tailored to suit a specific particle of consciousness, entangled in matter .and what to speak of the innumerable inhabitants of the higher , lower or middle planetary systems throughout the universe which are all delineated in the Vedas , who all enjoy their senses but in relatively inferior fashion when compared ultimately to the trancendental expressions or rasa in pure spiritual forms with pure spiritual senses that are ever increasing in capacity and experienced as ever new enthusiasm.
In the Vedas there is a sanskrit verse mentioning wondering Wondering Wondering all over the universe looking for full satisfaction of the soul , the solution comes when by good fortune one gets the association of one of the residents of the spiritual kingdom , arrangements are always made for the sincere seeker and multidimensional space time are no hindrance, nothing gets in the way of pure spiritual knowledge, so access is available immediately , by practice, one can immediately take up ones eternal attraction and join an appropriate family and friends , such is the access given to us by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His following.
Social systems of the Vedas have form & spirit . The form is important, but the essence is the spirit. Thus, from four social classes, and its social systems one progresses to the social and spiritually progressive psth of karma yoga, leading to extensive knowledge through jnana yoga , leading to working exclusively for Krishna in niskarma yoga , leading to deep remembrances of Krishna, akin to astanga yoga , then the process of aquiring through the different depths of meditations as given by the Goswamis of Vrndavana bhakti yoga in practice , ie sadhana practice & bhakti yoga in ragganuga practice ,cultivating remembrances in spontaneous devotion in love .
Ragganuga bhakti is again given trancendental categorization in spontaneous ontological calculations of love, based on loving service in more neutral positions to parenthood to friendship to relationship in conjugal love , and further categories are described in conjugal love , technically called Svakiya and Parakiya
As a comparson , one ultimately finds in the loving relationships of young lovers all the qualities of the other types of relationships, ie friendship, a service attitude and also a caring motherly effection ,but the confidentiality of the lovers can not be brought into any of the other types of relationships.
The Vedas culminate in an indepth exposition of the highest and most intimate of relationships that is possible with Divinity, it looks externally something like relationships found in this world, but really there is no comparison to the ever new , ever fresh exchanges of spiritual love with an eternal spiritual body and with unlimited spiritual senses , that is ever new and ever increasing in quality.
Comparison between cut broken cheap glass and the best of the diamonds can never be made , but perhaps by a fool ,who has no culture ,education, or intelligence may equate it , or think his broken glass to be a diamond.
We should remember the great philosophical treatise Bhagavad Gita was spoken on a battlefield , it was intended to establish fair play, including perfect political and social justice systems , that Krishna had come to reestablish , in Bhagavad Gita krishna says He appears to reestablish principles for mankind.
Although negotiations were originally intended by Krishna toward the opposing parties, unfortunately, those acting as His enemies refused to correct wrong behaviours , ignoring ethical practices acted ruthlessly . Those who ignore teachings of Bhagavad Gita which give a thorough analysis of all kinds of theological positions and a thorough run down on all kinds of human psychology telling of the original political system that are beneficial for mankind. Krishna wants the intelligentsia at the helm , not politicians. Krishna says , over and over again , He needs to come to re-establish truth and justice, sometimes He will send a representative to do so . The conditioned psychological effects of consciousness within matter, along with unfolding time, cause forgetfulness and degradation of mankind.
The reason we choose to come to this world , according to the Vedas , is for lordship , but the tiny spark of consciousness is always dependent and never independent . We should understand Divinities Lordship and how it’s only ever based on pure Love , only He can simultaneously reciprocate with countless persons in purity and love in fulfilling and ever increasing ways .
The political and social justice systems of the Vedas are a progressive journey for everyone , social and spiritual mobility is its intention, and it’s has been in operation for trillions of years .One is recommended to study the contents of the Bhagavad Gita.
No one can stand before God without the help and sanction of the Supreme Goddess of fortune , no one can stand before the Supreme Goddess of fortune before stepping out Her shadow , the two forms of the Goddess are synonymous in one sence , but also serve different purposes . Everything She does is a service to assist in helping reestablish lost relationships and having reconnected the lost souls , She brings them the spiritual experience of the full beauty and majesty of Divinity . This is the best of purposes of life and the original intention of it , understanding the origins of loving exchanges and exchanging our love with Divinity or Krishna and His associates.
How is this to be achieved ? by testing the motives of the sincere servant , real love is always unconditional , increasing and unpredictable , part of the transition from selfish love , or lust to enjoy , is facilitating the exhaustive desires of an individual to become this sole illusory independent enjoyer . In reality we are totally dependent on God and His energies , in our day time dream we are surrounded by family and friends, wealth and opulance and are always trying to rid ourselves of supposed enemies, that disturb our Lordship plans . Although in reality, materiel life is so tuned to illusion that , friends can be the greatest enemies and enemies can be indirectly friends , serving to frustrate attempts of ” happiness ” ultimately Krishna says , ” I am your only friend ”
Christians indirectly speak of the devil’s alluring power , but , doesn’t he , the ” devil,” indirectly serve God? and anyhow, just who is the Devil ?, an Irish jig, and song puts him down as being whisky.
” Whisky, you’re the Devil the Devil I adore,” the lyrics go.
This philosophical question is posed and answered in the Vedas , how the intriguing complexities of the illusory energy work in its granting free will followed by determinism, driven by subtle laws . Its purposes and powers are to throw and cover the particle of consciousness , a consciousness that has been connected to the ethereal , quantum, and classical planes of the physical nature . The spirit soul and their journey’s are spoken of in the Srimad Bhagavatam in many different ways and circumstances.
One who is really inquisitive will easily have all questions answered., but one who is crooked and insincere will continue to be tricked by the other side of the Goddess of fortune , we must always remember God is all Good in all circumstances at all times .
In 1997, 50 prominent foreign policy experts, including former senators, military leaders, and diplomats, sent an open letter to then-President Bill Clinton outlining their opposition to NATO expansion. “It is a policy error of historic proportions,” they wrote.
Conservative political commentator Pat Buchanan wrote in his 1999 book ‘A Republic, Not an Empire’, “By moving NATO onto Russia’s front porch, we have scheduled a twenty-first-century confrontation.”
The current director of the CIA, William Burns, said in 2008 that for Russia, “Ukraine’s accession to NATO is the brightest of all red lines.”
“I have not yet found anyone who would consider Ukraine in NATO as something other than a direct challenge to Russia’s interests,” he said.
We can learn from the past , the mistakes of encroachment or expansion into other territories, Russia’s origins, and the history of its church is in Kiev. Thinking foreign policy and international relations is important for stability in the world. Joe Bidens government an example, of failing to listen to scholars or geopolitical experts with experience , Joe Biden appears naive when it comes to foreign policy , he has brought Russia and China together, along with other nations, and has created a very unstable world . The USA has a 38 trillion debt and is looking for new markets to service that debt . It appears he sees Nato expansion and a risk worth taking .a dangerous game .
Perhaps John Kennedy had more respect for his adversaries, and in the famous peace he gave, he glorified Russia’s history and culture and sought peace.
An agreement was eventually reached between Kennedy & Khrushchev. Publicly, the Soviets would dismantle their offensive weapons in Cuba, subject to #United Nations verification, in exchange for a #US public declaration &agreement not to invade Cuba again. Nato invasions and WW3 , unfortunately maybe .
Joe Biden , and the current administration has led a damaging USA led liberal left agenda, he and his team do not appear to approve of traditional cultural differences , of other countries , he has aggressively pushed his agenda to the point where we are on the verge of a major conflict, the world is more divided and less united . He was and still is the most harmful president in recent times. and the most unfortunate thing is the world waits , for the unthinking and politically naive USA citizens , who really believe USA are Gods chosen people for establishing ” freedom and liberty ” worldwide, they caste their votes in November, fools voting in fools for sure .
But philosophically thinking sometimes people become tools for massive destructive karmic changes , unfit persons become pawns in the hands of karmic fate and synchronicity , things played out played out in a destined history We have to take into account the karma of the planet, the collective karma .
Much harm is being done to so many by so few , and a price will have to be paid one way or another.
The Vedas record these calculations in the politically astute Artha Veda .
A taste of relationships , a taste of time , a taste of humour, a taste of beauty , a taste of enthusiasm , a taste of appreciation , tastes and flavours are abound , but you have to admit they are temporary and generally they are in decline, what a sad state of affairs. The origins of full flavours , the Vedas indicate, are found when tasting temporary flavours longer satisfy , and also when the intelligence of Buddhi yoga develops , such intelligence reveals , that the bodily sences are experiencing fleeting moments , along with the mind that calculates what is acceptable and whats not , only the really intelligent persons can discriminate between the consciousness and the matter that surrounds it , and know its a completely different energy.
It is the arrangements of Krishna that those who come to this world are abke yo experience a reflection of the super subjective reality , but such a taste or a reflection of permanent , will be no substitute for the origins of sensual flavours and unlimited flavours of spiritual emotions , where the full experiences can be found , and that are recorded by Srila Jiva Goswami, Srila Rupa Goswami , Srila Ragganatha das Goswami and Srila Sanatana Goswami , to name but a few of the trancendental Proffesors of the Gaudia Vaisnava school.
The Vedic literature indicates that those who are caught up in temporary affairs can not give their attention to the permanent , so this is a great problem for the individuals , we have to extract ourselves from the temporary addictions and strive for the permanent and the origins and beauty of our consciousness . No one gets something for nothing.
The mind and senses have taken us on a long long journey of deceit , we must know it , we must research these topic , and we must understand the pushings of the scientific materialism educator, and those that insist Darwinian hypothesis is fact based science , we must know , they are clueless when it comes to understanding consciousness.
We must know life comes from life , that’s our experience , just as when we see smoke, we know there is fire .
Problem with left leaning global “democracy “, it abandons the real intelligentsia and embraces sophisticated animals who peddle Darwinian guessing of one life one death as fact, real philosophical thinkers and objective scientific paths are ignored , not only ignored , but misinformation has been given to million of young people , its the work of questionable persons, whose motives are self centred , they are generally puffed up by so called academics , and they are convinced by their speculative calculations.
Every theological text speaks of such arrogantly presented so called knowledge, that is actually destroying family values and cultural traditions that serve people well in their cultivating pure hearts and pure thoughts .
There will always be hypocrisy in all circles , but still , one can always trace origins of correct thinking and truth, fortunately God Himself lies in the hearts of all men and reveals good sense and inspires true leaders to say what they have to say
Time in reality is an allocated period given to conscious beings who temporarily reside in a particular body for a given length of time . This is determined not only by physical laws of nature but also by unseen laws operating beyond the comprehension of scientific communities . Nobody has a single clue why such laws of time are affecting different species at different rates .
Nature originates from Krishna or Visnu ,according to the Vedas , every species of life is under specific strict allocation . Scientists know quite a lot about the presence of the laws , but cannot fathom the origins , of why they hold firmly in place , they presume them happening by somehow random chance events, that began sometime in a distance past , thats an easy childish like guess . But the obvious question is , it’s seems logical that the order and laws of the universal affairs may have a specific source , after all in our experience , when we see orderly events , we naturally draw obvious conclusions. The Darwinian alternative that somehow or other these perfect laws of material nature formed and mysteriously maintain themselves seems absurd in real terms . Many prominent scientists, rebel against the concept of chance events being the ultimate cause , like Sir Fred Hoyle for instance , who could see clearly that the laws of nature are finely tuned , with perfect amounts of atoms and compound to make life possible , he was puzzled by the availability of so much carbon , which is essential for life , and why there should be so much of it in the universe , compared to other elements.
Law means lawmaker , that’s logic , and the Vedas give details of the fundermental principles of material nature, which incorporate the atomic and ethereal plane of existence , and it indicates its our minds and consciousness that are forced to identify with it and respond to it . In regards to how someone may know the details of the laws of time allocation, the head of this universe Bramha has inconceivable intelligence ,which has been alloted to him. as much as Einstein, Schrödinger or Bohr have inconceivable intelligence compared to the common man .
So Lord Bramha , the allocated engineer of this universe, transmits knowledge of all his scientific works to Narada Muni. He is no ordinary person , he was the Guru of Vyasadeva ,who was no ordinary person . He was the Guru of Sukadeva Goswami , who was no ordinary person , but the speaker of the Bhagavatam ..so one can say the origins of the knowledge of the Vedas and the universe are coming from beings and personalities beyond it .
So, the science contained in summary form in the Bhagavatam stems ultimately from the engineer of universal affairs , and Lord Bramha transmits such knowledge to those that need to know and who have pure senses . Bramha was given the intelligence to carry out his work of creation and laying the foundations of laws by Visnu Himself.
So the universe is certainly most puzzling to the science community. The more they study it , the more complex it becomes , this includes the science of time, its inconceivable nature , and so as said before scientists do not understand why time works the way it does , as much as they cannot produce rna in the laboratory to 100 % purity , the way nature makes it , only 1% purity has been achieved in a laboratory setting . The Vedic system is to accept knowledge from the supreme intelligentsia. The origin of this universe is Lord Bramha, as much as everyone is accepting knowledge from intelligent men and women , people like Richard Feynman , Einstein , Bohr , Schrödinger , Teller etc etc . so why not Lord Bramha ? And the persons he transmitted it to.
The very best scientist always say they know very little of the real details of the universe and its functioning. Unfortunately, some scientists will make bold declarations . Like the immature Darwinians who assume Darwinian evolutionary theory is fact based science Real scientific thinkers know it’s not . it’s at most a hypothesis .
Although the mechanistic Darwinian puts it all down to superstition & traits of evolution, a common thread in various cultures throughout the world of the worship of various Demigods and Goddesses cannot be ignored, Siva , Durga , Sarasvati etc etc are worshiped , but sometimes under different names and in different ways in different cultures .
The purpose of the worship of Demigods and Goddesses is to seek various benedictions , by doing so one learns to respect higher beings of all sorts, gets varieties of benedictions and a greater understanding of respect and sacrifice is brought to bare . Ultimately this leads to the benefits of gradual spiritual evolution of knowledge culminating by good fortune , to the service of Lord Visnu, or even more intimate knowledge of Divinity can be understood in the pastimes of spontaneous love with the Supreme Personality of Godhead Krishna . Ultimately if one can aquire the association of a pure Gaudia vaisnava devotee , one can enter into the association of those that serve Krishna greatest devotee , such is Her alluring nature , that Krishna is forever seeking Her association , and hankering for Her beautiful glances and smiles , with Her eternally blissful and evernew and ever enthusiastic playful form , Vrsabhanu Nandini Srimati Radharani , is the Supreme Goddess of fortune . Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has revealed these truths to the Goswamis of Vrndavana , who have composed many slokas and written extensively revealing to the world , the secret of all secrets .
So why not worship the Supreme Goddess of fortune, who is only too willing to award Her sincere following the best of what’s in existence in the material and spiritual realms , and as She gives it to you, it increases.
