Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur indicates we have two lives, or bodies , our receding material consciousness and present body that is tainted with lust ,anger , greed , envy, and illusion and our spiritual personalities and a body that is developing side by side . The spiritual sciences of how they develop and decline are given by the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana . A spiritual life is based on the development of a spiritually and mentally conceived spiritual body that is achieved through the process of Sadhana and Ragganuga Bhakti . Our efforts are important and gradually the process of different yoga practices , such as karma, jnana , niskarma karma , and trancendental astanga, and ultimately pure Bhakti Yoga transforms one’s consciousness , and the next body is forming side by side of the existing one .
This perfection , however, is achieved only by the krpa ( mercy ) and blessings of our acayas , the pure devotees, and ultimately the holy name, which is the means and end of spiritual life . Automatically, our blissful kind nature comes forth more and more, and we free ourselves from the mundane materalistic concepts and always find ourselves absorbed in relishing and remembeing Krishna lila in one form or another.. Mahāprabhu associates demonstrated that, and Mahāprabhu practically teaches it . So two bodies , one must supercede the other in time . In so doing , sometimes the devotees can be initially cold as they defend themselves from mayas’ influences, but they warm up bit by bit until fully on fire in their truely blissful lives .then all their characteristics become sublime . Titiksava karunikah Suhrdah sarva dehinam .
25 21 Srimad Bhagavatam . This verse describes everything of the pure devotee , Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains all . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
The mysterious conditions of action in inaction ,and inaction in action are discussed by Lord Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita.
The more influential a person is , and those influences are fluctuating according to many conditions and trends of the day , in a highly moral setting an immoral person is ignored and likewise in a highly immoral settings a moral person is ignored. With the current state of the world, immoral and highly materialistic persons have control over all kinds of influential tools, which are stamping their mark deep into the impressions of everyone’s psychological states . We can also say scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis has greatly helped with the concept of one life one death no God, do as you will .However, the Vedas brings us the reality of the responsive universe , and bear in mind some physicists wont disagree , especially those who study quantum mechanics. What you might do and might say and that affects others in various ways is your responsibility , the Vedas says , and the effects that are felt by others remain with you . Ultimately ,in many unforseen ways, the universal order is at work. There are many witnesses the Vedas say unbeknown to everyone , the Demigods , the Upadevas , who have ways and means of making observations are described in the Vedas . The observer effects in the realms of quantum mechanics can be considered , any interaction with matter has effects well beyond an immediate cause and effect . Ultimately, Divinity Himself is situated within the hearts and minds of all , He is the supreme witness and the best of listeners and the best advisors . Trancendental life entails becoming free from any of the good and bad actions that bind one to the material energies . Although good is good and better than bad , it’s still not a trancendental action . In trancendental activities good can be bad and bad can be good . That needs to be understood with trancendental maturity . Krishna explains all in His Bhagavad Gita.
Acting exclusively for the pleasure of the Lord and His associates is something written of in the Vedas and learned from a pure devotee who is completely free from the universal cyclic cycles.
Bhagavad Gita gives the summary of this science of freedom from action . Krishna says . ” One who sees action in inaction and inaction in action is wise among beings.”
Be sure …
Be sure you are being influenced by the right influencer .
So many seek to influence us for their own selfish interests , and many claim to know the truth of any given topic . How do they know they know .
What is their epistemology, or what are their motives importantly what is their state of heart .
Bhagavad Gita indicates the symptoms of true expression and the qualities of those that express it .
Living objectively is important, but also accessibility to a super subjective realm and an origin of absolute truth is an essential , the Vedas indicates. .
Love and lust
The most essential feeling a child must have is love ..
Its the inherant nature of consciousness to love and be loved .
The origins of these feelings stem from Divinity… The further one strays from Divinity , love turns to lust . The lust to be an independent enjoyer, it’s an artificial and impossible position. Divinity Himself is the supreme autocrat and the most giving of all persons , when it comes to love, no one can give more or receive more . Although some say in trancendental truths that the Supreme Goddess of fortune is the supreme giver and recipient of love , and that Krishna Himself is always searching searching searching after Radharani. There is an eternal competition of love taking place , and Hare Krishna means “an exchange of love “
The people, in general , of all makeups , need guidance in multiple ways to navigate their way through life . They somewhat rely on past ancestry from various histories , as well as Sciences of many kinds and, of course, theological cultures. If one examines carefully the history of law , justice, and social sciences , the Vedas are an integrel part of a complete and wholesome society. Perfect guidance and direction for all social groups are within the Vedas ,the Vedas brings both social and spiritual mobility for all . Governance and compliance systems for administrations are within the broad-based teachings. Theological and philosophically driven culture ,are based on dualism, an understanding of consciousness and body as two entirely different energies with natures laws only affecting the body .Without dualism , humanity decends into the animal kingdoms , and humans can be termed as sophisticated animals without knowledge of dualism. Thus, in Vedic culture , progressive life includes an element of conservation of essential culture, governance and compliance are seriously taken , but an element of freedom and democracy are also within its system as well as autocratic authorities. Every successful person leads disciplined lives, of course , that goes without saying . Freedom needs to be understood carefully . Otherwise, in the name of freedom , one can be helplessly bound in degrading circumstances. The world of dualism is a reality, and scientific materialism is an illusion of a speculative hypothesis. Thus, sciences are essential for us to clearly understand life’s potential. A clear understanding leads one in an entirely different direction Thus . Albert Einstein said . “Religion without science is blind and science without religion is lame.” The thoughtful person understands his meaning…
In philisophical and theological calculations , it’s a matter of understanding the essential intricacies of a binding that brings freedom or a freedom that hopelessly binds one .
Never the twain shall meet….but they can be properly utilised.
The West favours conglomerate liberalisation , democracies led by and influenced by businessmen who see profits as more important than traditional cultures . Theologically and philosophically led and aligned with dualism are countries like Russia, China, and of course India, and many other countries . Scientific materialism leads to animalistic tendencies, and society becomes no more than sophisticated animals, who are completely ignorant of consciousness and its full potential. Objective sciences gives us a clear indication that life is no chance accidental affair , there is much evidence of an intelligent design, and the depth of purpose that the humans can begin to understand is quite clear and easy to grasp . When societies are led by the intelligentsia and not fast buck businessman who are clueless in philisophical matters or how to guide and run society , people will regain their inherant happiness and wise up . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
There is a need for major reviews in the way current democracies function . They have become infiltrated and paid for by global conglomerates, and in USA’s case, they are also infiltrated by the Israeli lobby , with 60 million dollars donated yearly by them and probably a lot more unofficially , as John Mearsheimer writes in his book the Israeli lobby . Political classes who are beholding to financial institutions are not representing the electorate or the good . Administrative classes need to be governed at a distance and take input from the intelligentsia . Not from businessmen , businessmen do not have the sensitivities , intelligence , or know-how , they are clueless in understanding how society’s should be given positive and progressive direction that brings progressive values . Keynesian economics , trickle-down economics, and ever existing growth based on exploitation in every way fail the people and society, it brings war and conflicts and exploitative so-called trade deals, it leads to mass immigration. The intelligentsia know how to set a balance and elevate the consciousness of the citizens that brings peace, respect as well as knowledge of the equality of all beings. Life is not a competition or a race to death to gain as many commodities as one can .
The businessman’s duties are to care for the tradesman and workers in their employ . The political administration should be the supervisors of the creative economic sectors, making sure everything is a genuine free market economy, and unfair encroachment is avoided ,both locally, nationally, and internationally. The political classes need direction , they are not leaders . In ancient times, the lifetime “kingly person” who was dedicated for life to all his citizens and had genuine care for all was the system. That was and is the natural consciousness of a a true leader . ” kingly persons ” in previous ages were obliged to work under an intelligentsia . They were a team of scholars who are well versed in all the sciences , primarily in the sciences of dualism, mind , matter, and consciousness. But they also had other scholars under them called Vipras, who were expert in many feilds . The intelligentsia were always guided by the previous intelligentsia , and the preservation of cultures is important . Conservative means to conserve . Each period of time naturally adapts to place and circumstance by a current intelligentsia of the day . Times are circumstances that are always changing and in flux, and new approaches are needed naturally. Such are the ever well wishing Vedic cultural systems that are forever personally dedicated to all living beings.. They are eternal and originated from Divinity Himself.
A life is a life , any life , human or in Vedic circles , any creatures life , life is sacred and taking life has huge repercussions for individuals and nations. The person of knowledge sees unnecessary killings as the victim’s of circumstances caused by envy hate and ignorance driven by an ever increasing silencing and further suppressions of the influences of the intelligensia . Democracies have been hijacked by unthinking and unintelligent global conglomerates who have the political classes and practically all of the media in their pockets , the unthinking follow the unthinking like lemmings of a cliff .
The Vedas clearly defines the qualities of the intelligensia who bring wisdom , compassion, and clear thinking to any administrative body . Non encroachment and respect for the lives and rights of everything and everyone that lives and a countries resources and facilities respected rather than exploited or stolen . Puppet regimes are not true governments , those who sell their countries for self-interest are not leaders .
The self-evident truth of an equality of every living being is always within the heart of the self effulgent intelligentsia . Those who live in darkness and ignorance with a fire fly intellect try to convince others who are also in darkness that they have seen the light . The light of truth can never be covered by the darkness of those who ” democraticaly ” bring the clouds of mob rule that attempts to temporarily cover light with political or zionistic perversions .
The wise man of the Vedas says this ..
A human being who considers the land of his birth worshipable, and who goes to a place of pilgrimage simply to bath rather than to meet men of transcendental knowledge there, is to be considered like a cow or an ass .
Sophisticated animals are posing as great leaders, and smaller, sophisticated animals are running after the biggest animal. The biggest animals impose mob rule and attempts to silence the good .
Amongst all civilizations, there are always four classes of men . There are the first-class intelligentsia , who have first-class characters . They are well studied in the philosophically based world wide cultures as well as theological cultures . Sciences of dualism, mind , matter, and consciousness and their various interactions are understood by them , as, for example, the effects of matter in all its forms will have on the psychological effects of everyone. Effects of excess cause consciousness to deteriate in its quality and purpose, and thus, a need for regulatory attention is needed within civilised society . Lust , anger , greed ,envy, and encroachment are systematic of unregulated societies . It causes huge problems on an individual , a community as well as a country. The Jewish leaders ,the Christian leaders, the Muslim leaders, and Hindu leaders of their countries , the political leaders that is , need to not consider themselves leaders pe say . Rather, they must regard themselves the followers of the real intelligensia, the first class persons . These take the form of the pure and spiritually realised Rabbi, in Jewish culture , the pure and spiritually realised monk in Christian culture, the pure and spiritually realised Imam in Islamic culture and the pure and spiritually realised Brahminical person in Hindu culture.. The confused administrations of modern democracies are unfortunately currently serving the interests exclusively of the unintelligent and heartless who are forever searching for a profit . Businessmen have been given control of the world its bad news for the world and its citizens.
The out and out businessmen are clueless and not leaders , they have all their priorities completely wrong . Such persons are never intended to be leaders , its just not in their nature . They have their purpose to create wealth in fair ways, creating prosperity locally and nationally, but not internationally . Every individual country should create its own business strategies, and some essential trade will naturally take place between countries . Unfortunately, modern democracies have handed the unthinking businessmen the keys , and they have a reign of power . Unqualified persons endanger the world and its citizens as well as every creature, they poison the atmosphere in many many ways and even put chemicals on our foods and also within the good earth . This was never the intention of Divinity, He favours the well wishing and broad thinking intelligentsia , they are intended to be the advisors of the administrations but also remain independent of them and unpaid.
Srila Jiva Goswami in his Bhagavat Sandarbha speaks of the importance of meditations on the reality of form , the spiritual form of God , is not atoms , elements or compounds.
When the constantly strengthening and increasing rivers of the abode of love meet with the constantly expanding and agitated tumultuous ocean of the object of love, it begins to churn the unlimited ocean of ecstatic attraction, the waves rise and fall reaching ever new heights and sinking to increasing depths as unions become separation and separations become union . We should endeavour to make sure the abode of love of our own hearts ,although miniscule in comparison to the best of abodes , is following the best of abodes and meeting the correct object . Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada would say, “Don’t love Dog love God … Don’t get your life and love reversed ….
This process of thinking of Krishna and ultimately His name form and pastimes that enables the living being to aquire a spiritual form is spoken of in Bhagavad Gita as well .
Engage your mind always in thinking of Me, become My devotee, offer obeisances to Me and worship Me. Being completely absorbed in Me, surely you will come to Me…
How to surrender the mind in Krishna consciousness was practically demonstrated by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami in his Bhagavad Gita and Caitanya Caratamrita purports explains all .
Srimad Bhagavatam 7.1.8 explains the turbulence of the material world, the modes of passion , goodness, and ignorance competing with each other for dominance both personally and with the greater communities both nationally and internationally and as well universally.
The Supreme Personality of Godhead allows the degrees of free will and determinism to take place, naturally at different times either goodness, passion or ignorance dominates. The Lord is impartial and facilities the conditioned souls in their desires. Divinity sends endless representatives and brings forth theologically based cultures that brings the prominence of goodness , but its the nature of the independent self seeking enjoyers to abandon the good and take to passion and greed and envy and with such consciousness bring miseries to others . Wars and conflicts are also sometimes prominent when goodness is overshadowed. Eventually, darkness and ignorance set into humanity, and the good is forgotten and cancelled out almost entirely. These cyclic movements of the good , the bad, and the ugly constantly move in the millions of year cycles . Although everyone is facilitated , whatever the consciousness, ultimately goodness is again established by Divinity, who reestablishes the principle of Goodness and a philosophically based science of self realisation, that pushes ignorance and pride to one side .
One can read the words of Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada as he gives the full understanding of the text in hand .
When one loses touch with absolute truth , other truths inevitably slide into a continual decline, spiralling faster and further into the oblivion of deceit . Such is the nature of the illusory energy of Divinity .The universal governance unbeknown to 99.9 % of the population awards 8,400,000 different opportunities , places where the comfort of untruthfulness is uncomfortably lived out . The responsive universe follows the individuals consciousness and actions . The 8,400,000 different species of life reflect the varying degrees of the consciousness entanglements where the relative degrees of untruths can be lived out . Truth has declined so much in current times that any man speaking truth is ridiculed or in todays world silenced , some call it cancel culture . Persons who are speaking lies are glorified as truthful and visionary or as great leaders . The majority of persons are confused because they have accepted authorities who are not authoritative . Even in scientific fields, subjective speculations are presented as fact based sciences. In religious fields unthinkable , unknowdgeable hypocritical leaders pose themselves as authorites , but they do not follow their authorities, or they change and twist their words Current algorithmic processes and Ai assisted technologies assist the dishonest greatly, and the media is not a source of truth or real news but rather a source of opinion, as is the Internet. The most cooked of persons , who together snatch the worlds recourses , pay very good money to anyone who will agree repeat their lies , one becomes the servant of the “devil.” With algorithms deliberately set to favour untruths, the rascals and demoniac see to it that their messaging is the most heard narrative and that everything works in their favour, the unthinking public are easily fooled . Welome to the world where fools have voted in fools .. and where the Godless reign. To understand absolute truth, one’s own lordship over matter and false speculative argumentations against absolute truth should be reversed . Throughout the history of this universal creation the Vedas tell of how Krishna , Divinity , who has numerous names and appears within every culture , says ” Again and again I come to this material plane to establish truth. I directly appear or I send my representative, ” Objective truth is self effulgent to the truthful as are the representatives of truth . A deceitful heart attracts the deceitful, and a truthful, honest heart attracts truth , and persons who represent it , those who carry truth represent a succession of truth . Adoption of humility within the heart should be accepted . it’s the first qualifying attribute of wisdom , along with a general respect for all beings , accompanied by compassionate thoughts towards everything that lives .These signs are systematic of truth and an indication of knowledge. With truth comes a natural detachment and peace within the heart . It’s only in that state that the beginnings of a relationship with Divinity will be underway .
One of the features of quantum physics is called ” instant communication.” The Vedas has many parallels to these mathematically approved approaches to the reality of both matter , and the laws it might be locally subjected to , as well as the differently situated states of matter within the existences of multidimensional planes . Within this universe, as well as millions of others’ time and laws of nature, differ, says the Vedas , and theoretical physicists will not disagree. Methods of transfer from one dimention to another are also discussed by string theorists , quantum physicists, and theoretical physicists and, of course, within the Vedas. The ethereal planes and the subtle existences as well as much finer Spiritual energies can move at , as Albert Einstein thought as like …..” Spooky action at a distance “…. So mind, no doubt, the fastest method of transport , a material mind is working at one speed , and a spiritual mind is able to traverse even greater distances .The other aspects of instant communications comes about when understanding the oneness and difference of Divinity , in countless millions of the material universes , because they are expanded from one conscious source, naturally this universal form of Divinity knows what one part of His body is doing and is fully conscious of it . You know when you have a feeling of hunger and at the same time an itchy foot . The third Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam delves into some of these matters in detail. Suffice to say , in regards to instant travel, if you think about your favourite holiday destination and you are extremely familiar with its makeup and atmosphere, you have, in one sense, immediately arrived . The yogic paths are methods, when perfected , of an easy transportation method, thus easy journeys to other places or planets ….
In the future, a yogic travel agent may become available, and the universal affairs and beyond can be accessed for the correct yogic price . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
