The clouds are covering the moon , but by the light of the moon, the clouds are seen . The soul , the essence of feelings , is covered by our mental systems, causing us to identify with the body , but by the power of the original consciousness that is capable of feeling and experiencing spiritual topics, we are feeling and experiencing matter .
Srila BR Sridhar Swami speaks about the spiritual path of subjective evolution, which gradually rises further and higher before entering within the super subjective realms . The essence of the soul is feelings .. The question is, what are we feeling and what do we have feelings for . There are 8,400,000 species of life , each of which exhibits feelings for so many things . The essence of consciousness is to experience and to be able to relate to the higher planes of Divinity where He resides with His associates. His trancendental form and pastimes are eternally manifest, and when spiritual feelings are properly developed one can gradually realise and have feelings for Divinity and His associates, in that case one may be invited to participate in that super subjective plane .The feelings of the soul proper are forever restricted in conditioned consciousness, but there are no limits to the depths of feelings in the spiritual realms when the material feelings are renounced.
In Srila Rupa Goswami’s Sri Ujjvala nilamani this is said …
Hiding behind a creeper, Srimati Radharani is eagerly eavesdropping on a conversation between Krishna and Subal , afterwards Vishaka asked Radharani why she was so eager to hear Krishna’s words, Radharani said , ” My dear friend the nectar of Madhava’s words are filled with unprecedented sweetness that enchants the ears , I am not satisfied to have once sipped that nectar, but I yearn to drink it again snd again .”
Anuraga is described as ever new and ever increasing spiritual bliss described by Srila Rupa Goswami and defined as spiritual feelings and emotions , soul on soul , one might say .
The Vedic way is pointing to governance and compliance systems suitable for every kind of community . Peoples from different walks of life and karmas were all carefully considered, and calculated policies were according applied , and each life is sacred according to the Vedas, including all the creatures’ lives . Equality should be calculated scientifically , a creature or animal is as conscious as we are , in their own way . The Artha sastra are particularly applicable to just and fare political arrangements of many kinds . The application , implications, and impacts on individuals of the different societies were considered by an intelligentsia who were all well versed in the sciences of mind , matter, and consciousness and could clearly see the correct applications for everyone’s progressive directions according to time place and circumstance. Currently, government ministers across the globe are not at all aligned with the clear realities of any objective sciences that are connected to mind , matter, and consciousness. Neither are their ” expert advisors ” that they seek advice from , political classes and their political advisors are products of a system that has been bulldozed and compressed by a modern education system stemming from scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis . This has allowed the intelligentsia to be demoted, and the third class unthinking and uneducated businessman have usurped power to rule the world . Uneducated democracies don’t work. Money ,exploitative psychological messaging , encroachment, and killing are the trademarks of these third class men who rule the world , and the ignorant blindly vote them in . Thus, the blind and ignorant are most definitely leading the blind in world affairs, and their world view is perverse. We can not expect to have clear thinking or any kind of wisdom or directions given to us by those who are in ignorance themselves . Dualim based on sciences and religion is an essential part of knowledge, which is a fundamental part of peace individually and collectively. The various branches of knowledge that are essential are all relatable and can not be separated or neglected , but rather harmonized , and the Vedas do just that . Predominately, unfortunately, we live in a world controled by fools and rascals, scientific materialism has become the leading light , and often unthinking religionists apply theologically driven cultures in perverse and political ways , they merely pay lip services to God with no real devotion or knowledge of God .
In Vedic culture, the autocratic systems were in place not to dominate people but rather to serve and help with their every need. A saintly person as a leader is a good thing , providing he takes advice from other members of the intelligentsia. Lord Ramachandra, whose appearance celebration is today was perceived, although wrongley , by simple members of his community to have acted incorrectly, Lord Ramachandra accepted his wife Sita back after She was kidnapped by Ravana. The general people thought she had been polluted by Ravana and had been disloyal to Ramananda, and in ancient Vedic ways, that would be an immoral act . To satisfy the “mob,” who were wrongly complaining, because Ravana could never have any association with Sita , the material and spiritual never mix , but still , Lord Ramachandra banished his wife to satisfy his critics , for the sake of good governance he sacrificed his own happiness. Thus, both Rama and Sita underwent great personal difficulties as an example for future leaders and of the standards and duties they would have to adopt , sacrificing everything for the sake of their citizens is the real business of a leader. Modern equivalents can not be found , but rather quite the opposite . Sheer selfish calculations for their own prestige are only found
You can not change the course of history, but if you want to introduce justice , peace, and goodwill and Divinity favours your endeavours , those endeavours and their consequences become a part of history. Nothing is totally inevitable , although the expression in the material world “as sure as death” is factual . Free will , free expression, and open communication with the absolute truth are forever flowing , the sincere will find intelligence flowing from Him . The Supreme Autocrat’s superior and all good counsel in all affairs are contained in every theological text and primarily it will be in the hearts of His representatives who are well wishers of all , the pure hearted are within all theological cultures http://www.thevedicspectator.com
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.
Essential elements…we don’t get theological or scientific wisdom from politicians or the speculative
People in general always have and always will need guidance to navigate their way through life . Philosophically speaking, as well as scientifically speaking, everyone is ultimately clueless and are left to their own guessing for meanings or direction to take . In reality, they dont know where they came from or where they are going. They somewhat rely on past ancestral traditions, including various histories , and also many types of sciences have developed , indicators of energies, and greater purpose of life goals are spoken of . These philosophies , sciences, and ways of thinking often spring from theological cultures , both the personal and impersonal explanations of who God are explained. If one examines carefully the history of law , justice, and social sciences , you can see clearly they have all arisen from theological cultures. For instance, within the Vedas, an integrel part of it are complete instructions and recommendations of how wholesome societies knit together . Every theological culture to a degree has these aspects, but it’s particularly detailed within the Vedas. Progressive guidance for all social groups is within the Vedas, and it brings both social and spiritual mobility for all . Governance and compliance systems for administrations are within the broad-based teachings. Theological and philosophically driven cultures are based on the objective sciences of dualism , an understanding of consciousness and the body as two entirely different energies . Laws of physics do not affect consciousness, but how one acts within those laws has far-reaching consequences for the consciousness within the responsive universe. Without the sciences of dualism , humanity decends into the animal kingdoms , and humans can be termed as sophisticated animals . Thus, in Vedic culture and other theological progressive cultures, there includes an element of conservation of essentials . This is meant for the culture of consciousness , and animals cannot culture consciousness . 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 . Scientific materialism is an illusion stemming from a speculative hypothesis , unfortunately, it is taken as a licence to become a Darwinian sophisticated animal , so foolish it is that it says our ancestral heritage lies in the land of apes. Objective sciences are essential for us to clearly understand life’s potential , and speculative guessing is not scientific. A clear objective 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 .
The West favours conglomerate liberalisation , democracies led by and influenced by businessmen who see profits as more important than traditional cultures . Theological and philosophically led aligned cultures with dualism are still prominent and are still with us to degrees .
Essentially, one should become a philosophically minded person and don’t rely on others to do your thinking . Divinity and the universal order appears to have made ample arrangement for knowledge acquisitions, but our hearts must be in the right place, then automatically truth is found , not by mere sentiments but scientifically, but objective sciences. Objective sciences gives us a clear indication that life is no accidental affair , there is much evidence of an intelligent design . The depth of purposes that humans can if they desire to understand is clear , easy to grasp, and self-evident. When societies are led by the intelligentsia and not fast buck businessman who are clueless in philisophical matters and care nothing of them , people will regain their inherant happiness and wise up . People using religion for political reasons should be rejected, we don’t get theological knowledge from politicians. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
“A single photon (light particle) can theoretically carry an infinite amount of information, but practically, researchers have encoded over 10 bits per photon using high-dimensional methods. One binary bit is the smallest unit of data, representing one of two distinct states—such as 0 or 1, true or false, or on or off. “
The Vedas indicates beyond light and matter is an ethereal plane , how much information and memories are stored and how reactive are they , within our minds many things are lurking that are recycled the imprints of a mind are being added to and intelligence is developing and deteriating , at death is everything deleted , the Vedas say no ….the responsive universe funnels the ethereal and it takes on the atoms , elements and compounds to make up another temporary show , the reality of the original consciousness beyond the matter and the ethereal along with the plug in universe is spoken of in Bhagavad Gita as it is Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains all.The Vedas indicates that the waves of the conditioned consciousness , (ethereal waves) one might say , in the form of desire , mental hankering , including lust ,anger , greed , envy that are triggered by multiple ranges of intellectual stimulation and forethoughts , are ultimately facilitated by universal arrangements. One should understand karmic synchronicities are not something that appear out of nowhere, but rather our life and alloted particles , namely the atoms that assemble bringing our elements compounds and our complete life are to a major degree predestined. These waves of conditioned consciousness that have followed us from our previous lives and which are imposed upon the original spiritual consciousness will , via the ethereal plane , respond to the atomic realms . Our new bodies will form , and varieties of situations take shape .We call this life . The calculations of the quantum physicists regarding waves and particles take on a whole different meaning when the consciousness particles are entrapped and entangled within the responsive Vedic universe. Space time and conditioned consciousness interlink and react with each other .
Thus, the past , present, and future , in the form of particals that have been , that are just now present and that are yet to be , all of which are triggered by ethereal waves , ie. previous waves , present waves , and future further waves , these are what Einstein refers to as , according to the Vedas as literal “space time continuum.” The Vedic responsive karmic universe is at work, supreme engineering, and algorithmic processes beyond imagination and comprehension.
“The question of how sexual reproduction, and specifically the two distinct sexes (anisogamy—small motile sperm and large sessile eggs), evolved from asexual ancestors is considered a major topic of research in evolutionary biology, sometimes referred to as the “queen of problems”. While Charles Darwin himself acknowledged he did not know the final cause of sexuality, modern evolutionary biology has developed several, though not definitively proven, hypotheses to explain it. “
As we can see, as usual, the Darwinians are clueless. However the Vedas explains fully the origins of sex attraction and how the original sex attraction has been devolved from a higher spiritual plane and brought within the external energies by Divinity arrangements to serve specific purposes . Sex pleasure is something the Darwinian can’t explain . According to the Darwinian, the orgasm evolved . We will find every species has overwhelming sex attraction. it’s not only restricted to humans . The Vedas explains in detail how living beings who feel no immediate attraction for the Supreme Personality of Godhead or His families and friends are injected into the material energies , from the Brahman regions or the Tatastha regions , this region is like the shoreline , one step takes you into the sea or another step onto the land , your choice . We originally expanded from the first expansion of Krishna, Balarama. Because Krishna has always been , we being part of Him have always been . The injection of the living beings into the material energies takes place via the Supreme Lord and the Supreme Goddess of fortune , who are expanded as Sambhu or Sadasiva and Ramadevi or Durga Devi . These transformations or expansions of Radha Krishna appear to be curiously in touch with the material energies , however, the Vedas say like yoghurt and milk are one but different , so too Visnu and Laxi do not directly touch or become effected by matter . These expansions of Laxmi Narayana provide the material bodies for the beings, and they are consequently injected into matter . They are generated with male and female sexual organs . The whole idea is that in order to receive a machine made of the material energy that the soul is to temporarily inhabit , one requires a consistent and constant supply of such machine like bodies . Because the time factor is added to our material activities, creating karma, death , and rebirth, as well as reevaluation and that is healthy, these movements are constantly in flux . This is so because the living beings need to continually experience , learn, and live out their particular desire. Karmic synchronicities of their independent meanderings within the universe are taking place. Thus, the perfect arrangement of entanglements within a responsive universe has arisen to facilitate free will and determinism with the virtual machines of the material bodies .The supreme engineer has arranged a system that is producing many, many more machines within the 8,400,000 species of life . It is sex dedire that drives reincarnation. Thus, the whole material world is working under strong sex desire and its happening in every species of life .
The original sex desire has a spiritual pure element to it that is not connected to procreation. When one advances beyond matter, one can enter soul to soul communications in unlimited ways . One should know the difference between broken glass and diamonds. They look similar but are millions of miles apart .
God has many , many forms and incarnations some of these are facilitating the circumstances that the living beings are desirous to experience . We should know everyone is acting according to their own God given free , and along with that free will comes determinism . In this way, we can say some of the incarnations are functional forms , functionality means arranging for this huge universal machine , and the responsive universe , along with all its various laws both within matter and in the subtle reactionary realm . We wanted to come to the material atmospheres . Man proposes God disposes. Of course, Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead from whom all other incarnations emanate from . His glorious Lila pleasure pastimes are full of bliss and loving exchanges. Those who want to have a direct relationship with God may do so , this original form is not serving any functionalities , rather like a close family member spontaneous love spontaneously flows between Krishna and his natural friends , family and lovers . God is described in the Vedas as being complete, more complete, and most complete, and this is reflected in the way He reciprocates with His devotees . In Vrndavana, Krishna displays His most complete original form along with Srimati Radharani and His family and various friends. Srimati Radharani is the original Supreme Goddess of Fortune who expands Herself and exhibits unlimited blissful pastimes for the pleasure of Krishna, who also reciprocates accordingly. The Srimad Bhagavatam and the Caitanya Caratamrita explain all these trancendental events . Both of these works have been translated and commented on by Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and are available to read in English as well as other Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas..
In terms of the functional God .
Schrödinger, the famous physicist, thought there was only one mind ……much akin to Sankaracarya and the impersonal school.
In one sence its a fact that Annirudha , the functional portion of Visnu , is the total material mind . The individual living beings are covered by many varieties of energies, including a mind that stems from Anirudha , the functional form of Visnu . They utilise portions of His minds energies for their exhibition of an artificial independence in the material world. However, the original pure spiritual mind has its spiritual independence and individual capacities without a material covering. Ultimately, we should know the meaning of the Vedic expression “simultaneously and inconceivably one and difference from God” It is exhibited beautifully in a spiritual realm , but it is also exhibited with the material universes, the material world is Ultimately ” Spiritual ” because its another of God’s eternal energies, matter is never destroyed but transformed. Srila Jiva Goswami says we should not overstate the oneness or the difference in any of the realms, both the spiritual or material. Conditioned natures that are exhibited in this world are far, far greater, and covering of knowledge, and one can not experience spiritual freedoms, pe say . Our full potential is suppressed by our own selfish attractions to an illusory energy. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
This is what happens when the intelligentsia are silenced and when the unthinking run world affairs.
From United Kingdom…
“The report also found more children are stumbling across pornography accidentally, with some of the 16 to 21-year-olds surveyed saying they had viewed it “aged six or younger”.
More than half of respondents to the survey had viewed strangulation as children, prompting Dame Rachel to also ask the government to ban depictions of it.
Pornography depicting rape of a sleeping person was also seen by 44% of respondents as children.
The data was gathered prior to the amendments to the Online Safety Act in July, which brought in age verification tools for pornography.
Dame Rachel described the findings as “rock bottom”.
“This tells us how much of the problem is about the design of platforms, algorithms and recommendation systems that put harmful content in front of children who never sought it out,” the commissioner said, calling for the report to act as a “line in the sand”.
The Department of Science, Innovation and Technology told the BBC “children have been left to grow up in a lawless online world for too long” and “the Online Safety Act is changing that.”….
End of the report..
The Vedic view ….
This is what happens when the intelligentsia are silenced, and when the political administrative classes are the paid servants of the businessmen , who virtually and unfortunately rule the world directly and indirectly. Political parties are funded by those who insist on lobbying powers .
In-depth knowledge of social sciences , minds , psychological affairs , the needs of the different members of societies, and the sciences of consciousness are some of the responsibilities of an intelligensia . Society should never be directed by a person who is clueless or unfamiliar with these essentials . Scientific materialism and atheistic Darwinian hypothesis have provided false evidence and have , for many, many years, sent societies in every kind of direction apart from the essential ones . Every theological culture must have a thorough and scientific approach to the material and spiritual realms . There is a connection between the two, and it is designed that way by its designer .
We know Albert Einstein said, “Science without religion is lame and religion without science is blind “
We have to realise why this was said , many people try to interpret his words , but without knowledge of dualism, they remain clueless of the meaning.
This virtual world we find ourselves in accompanied by sound waves , lightwaves , nerve impulses , reactionary via signals that travel to the neurons within our brains , each of which travel at colossal speed , this machinery is hooked up to our minds and intelligence . According to the Vedas , minds and intelligences have been carried forward from a previous virtual reality machine , the machinery is discarded at death , but the subtle energies live on , and a percentage of the ethereal is mixed again with two more parents. This is what the reality of living in the material world means . We all know that at any time, all of our experiences and exchanges of information will cease , that’s what is referenced as death .
Yantra is a word used by Lord Krishna in his Bhagavat Gita , it means the machine of the material body it is granted by material nature . Just as we are in complete forgetfulness of what our current machine was experiencing a few weeks ago , so similarly, death means a forgetfulness , but of everything . Although deep impressions and deep-seated desires and traits of previous experiences stay within as our new body arrives to be lived again, many persons experience a particular affiliation for a time period, or music or places or even people .
The body carries with it karmic synchronicities, and the previous responses that are due from our responsive universe are to be lived out in our new virtual reality machine .
The Bhagavad Gita gives the full details and the reasons for all the comings and goings. As well the Bhagavad Gita also explains how an absolute reality can be experienced outside the virtual one
Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur, Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja and Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada all took advantage of political circumstances and established governments , they did not align themselves in any way , but used anything if there were opportunities to preach Krishna consciousness.
They intelligently used opportunities for the advantages they offered to further their missions . In like a needle and out like a plough, and diplomatic flutterings when the need would arise, but ultimately no compromises were ever offered or accepted by them .
The new industrial world and its communication systems with open societies do have their advantages for Krishna consciousness teaching . Although much degradation of mankind is taking place and their inner spirit is becoming increasingly degraded on many different levels . Tremendous suffering is being inflicted by a few leaders, and the populations are in a desperate condition both materially and spiritually. 98% of the population can not understand or begin to contemplate the origins of the current world problems or offer any solutions.
A loud voice gives away the intentions quickly, but acting quietly and in covert ways leaves an enemy guessing . If the enemy underestimates one, then that’s a good thing . Ultimately, Krishna consciousness with its philosophical , scientific, and spiritual outlook is a million miles away from the current accepted status quo including their governmental affairs.
But for the time being, advantages are plenty , and they are being utilised.
Srila Prabhupada was walking in a park enjoying the facilities and he quipped to his disciples, ” just see they are working hard and we are coming to take advantage, like a snake does not build a hole , but simply disposes of the rabbit and establishes himself in the rabbits hole “
Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja was thankful to the British, who established a post office branch near his headquarters in Mayapur. From that office, he sent his writings and instructions all over India
