The very essence of the Vedas is to love God .
We are loving so many persons and creatures, so why not God ?
Before loving someone, one must know who they are and what qualities they possess.
In God’s case, we must know who He is and why He does what He does , both directly and indirectly and how he is all good .
Learn to love is an expression we are familiar with . In learning to love someone else, one needs the help of a friend of the person . The unfriendly , speculative, or envious who has attitudes or misunderstandings towards the person we are trying to love can not possibly help us .
If you learn to love God’s devotees they can give access to God in His most complete form , beyond the administrative form , beyond formalities , but rather bring us to a spontaneous heartfelt relationship with Divinity , similar to what you have with your children, your partner, your friend or your lover .
The essence of spirituality is relationship with spontaneous love, which is ever new and inceasing in attraction with ones original spiritual form , not the covering made of atoms , elements, and compounds with a flickering mind and unsteady intelligence
Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu appeared in the Gaudia Vaisnava sampradaya to teach this the essence of the Vedas and its essential asset.

AI .. conflict , confusion, and tension of the human lemmings .

Everyone’s talking about the potential of AI , but do they not see how in a world centred around competition and cut throat business, not only of individuals but between countries , the very thing that is supposed to make our lives easier could well end up being the very reasons why our world is torn apart . Ai can be said to be a  collection of geek driven intellectuals who are all merged together and who probably follow Darwinian survival of the fittest philosophy and have no brains to understand consciousness and the implications of their input to other peoples lives or consciousness health .

The Vedic cultures are always centred around sharing resources for the benefits of everyone . The self-centred conglomerates vision is one of snatch , take , exploit, and even exterminate the opposition , so toxic our world has become .

Unfortunately, such conglomerates , who control contrived democracies , “free speech it has its price , the wealthy bed fellows of those that favor vice ” , I wrote in a song . These conglomerates have the power over the simple persons in the world who are easily fooled and are mislead like lemmings of a cliff , they are unaware of the onward dangerous exploitative goals of greedy persons who currently weild world power , victims of consumerism and adopted lifestyle.

The materials to make AI chips and the materials to make batteries for phones and cars are in short supply , there is not enough to go around. Like 100 alcoholic persons, who are untreated, fighting over one whisky bottle . Modern living based solely on technology’s advances is a recipe for disaster because it puts the individuals consciousness development to one side . Worse still , it degrades it . The goal of the conglomerates to make everyone into sophisticated but consumer led animals , who follow their minds and senses just about anywhere their computer tells them to go .

Deep sleep and beyond.

“While scientists have made significant strides in understanding the mechanics of sleep, including deep sleep, some aspects of how and why deep sleep happens remain a mystery. Deep sleep, also known as slow-wave sleep, is crucial for bodily restoration and recovery, but the precise mechanisms regulating its onset and maintenance are not fully elucidated. “
Srila Jiva Goswami has likened deep sleep to the Brahman, the spiritual effulgence of Divinity where many consciousness particles take shelter .
How some of these consciousness particles arrive at , and are in the glance of Mahavisnu , who are consequently impregnated into matter, is contemplated upon differently by different Vedic schools of thought.
But Srila BR Sridha Swami tells , just as it is not clear how a deep sleep condition is suddenly brought back to space time existence, ie , we suddenly awaken , its somewhat beyond the comprehension of how the jiva finds himself in the material world and within the glance of Visnu….the Tatasta sakti is key to understanding and a free will that is facilitated , by the supreme facilitator,  thus Maha Visnu appears to take a functional role , indeed Srila Jiva Goswami in his Bhagavat Sandarbha says it is the individual living beings who want the material world not Him .

Bg. 18.61 Bhagavad Gita .

īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ
hṛd-deśe ’rjuna tiṣṭhati
bhrāmayan sarva-bhūtāni
yantrārūḍhāni māyayā

Translation
The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone’s heart, O Arjuna, and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine, made of the material energy.

Krishna has spoken objective science..

Education?….the Darwinian ?

What they may refer to as education.
Basically,  accepting,  without any real evidence, random mutations originating from the primordial soup , the common ancestor model , of microbes mutating in a purely unguided and random process that somehow followed the particular environment they mysteriously found themselves in .These events,  according to the Darwinian, are the cause of  everything’s we see and experience in terms of living things , including plant life . However, logic and rationale are part of an education system,  with that in mind can we suppose one billion monkeys typing on one billion typewriters for one billion years could  produce a perfectly punctuated page of a Shakespeare script, including the spaces between the words.
The dna coding and the informational exchanges by mrna molecules are akin to highly sophisticated engineering technologies and are producing the protein like machines in the cells and specifically shaping them using those  codes  producing bodies in every species of life . Regarding common ancestry,  same engineer, different engineering is the Vedic truth . Do as much as a robotics assemble plant in a factory will, according to information of a computer chip , programmed by an intelligent source ,  assemble a specific part of a machine , that is what we objectively see in sciences.
Where there is smoke, you know there is fire , or it just been extinguished .Whenever you experience information and a sequence that is functional..
You naturally assume something….that a consciousness is at work .
What is the difficulty?
Micro evolution, meaning exchanges of dna within species and variations according to an environment, that’s acceptable and Vedic.
Macro evolution brings us back to the billion monkeys.
Of course, unfortunately, at schools and universities ,scientific materialism , and Darwinian hypothesis is taught as fact based science,  thats unfortunate.  Everyone should consider  dualism,  mind matter, and consciousness as separated and entirely different energies.
We experience the adult body, and the childhood body has long gone , as your current body will change drastically and quickly. . In a space of seven  years, a completely different body is built as all the cells change, you, the consciousness experience this , the body is not you ..

The natural vedic learning process..

If we conform to the good principles in life as taught by the good and pure over many many  generations , these  universal principles and easily recognisable , instinctively we come to understand this depth of knowledge of the consciousness. Irresistibly knowledge builds on the back of piety. In humble spirit, we will see the benefits of learning from others in every  walk of life . Because of previous practice of consciousness cultivation, many greater persons both in karmic , philosophical jnana , or Bhakti pure devotional attitudes  can help us along . This was the beauty of the  original Varna Ashram systems that peoples good fortune were recognised and shared and accepted with others .This overarching principle of life is a valuable asset for everyone to know .  This good fortune originates from  the Vedic intelligensia, who are  pure in heart and mind and well studied in the Vedas in all its formats .

The twelve who really know the goal of the Vedas .

The mature Vedic scholar knows the Vedas are extremely broad and are able to comprehend concisely and expertly the various applications according to time place and circumstance that are contained. As for example,  Vedas contain and  include  eighteen puranas and of those ,  six are  for those persons firmly situated goodness , six for those in the somewhat endless material activities in passion, and finally there are six for those who live in darkness , intoxicated with wines and meat eating , described as the mode of  ignorance . These puranas advise and give systematic applications and lifestyle recommendations for progression in spiritual knowledge to all those groups of people. So it is concluded that the Vedic knowledge ultimately encourages everyone towards the association of those persons who know the ” param Gatim ” the ultimate and real purposes of life and its full potentials and the Vedic intelligensia set methods of a social and spiritual progression for one and all .It’s goal  is to help society understand consciousness and learn to love God in any one of His features and forms . The puranas are meant to take us beyond any material benedictions for wealth  or a thirst for knowledge for the sake of knowledge and beyond mystic powers or liberation.

The real goal is clear , a  pure loving relationship and  friendship and service to Divinity , Lord Krishna , nothing else will ultimately satisfy the soul . Every one of us is  deep down  hankering and searching  for happiness, and we want to avoid suffering.  So , either knowingly or unknowingly, Divinity is sought after, and those who know this truth are to be contacted.

The “twelve mahajanas” who  are considered the greatest devotees of Vishnu, and are listed in the Srimad-Bhagavatam as Brahma, Narada, Shiva, the Four Kumaras, Kapila, Svayambhuva Manu, Prahlada, Janaka, Bhishma, Bali, Sukadeva Gosvami, and Yamaraja. 

Here’s a more detailed look at each of the twelve mahajanas:

• Brahma: The creator of the universe. 
• Narada: A great devotee who travels the universe, glorifying the Lord. 
• Shiva: A great demigod, a spiritual master, and a devotee of Vishnu. 
• The Four Kumaras: Four sages who are known for their renunciation and devotion. 
• Kapila: A great sage and son of Devahuti. 
• Svayambhuva Manu: The first man and the father of humanity. 
• Prahlada: A devotee who was persecuted for his faith but remained steadfast in his devotion to Vishnu. 
• Janaka: A king known for his knowledge and devotion. 
• Bhishma: A great warrior and devotee who remained loyal to his vows even in the face of death. 
• Bali: A king known for his generosity and devotion to Vishnu. 
• Sukadeva Gosvami: A great sage who taught the Srimad-Bhagavatam to Parikshit. 
• Yamaraja: The Lord of Death, who is also a devotee of Vishnu. 
• The Gaudia Vaisnava sampradaya represents all these truths

Scientific materialism ignores consciousness because it is clueless about it . Scientific materialism views the Goldilocks phenomenon in one way, and the Vedic intelligensia views it in another .
Scientific materialism ignores rationale math calculations and introduces unthinking math , the Vedic cultures that introduced 0 into math calculate math logically and rationally .

The Vedic followers are not doom watchers , they don’t curse those who seek pleasure.

Indeed, the very nature of the living being is pleasure seeking , and that is said in the Vedas itself.

The Vedic aphorism.

Anandamayo bhyasat.

Pleasure seeking and a  joyful life is the  constitution of the living being.

The Vedic followers are  simply seeking a place where this instinctive  nature of the beings can be exhibited without the scientifically observed obstacles of birth , death , old age, and disease.

It is further noted by the Vedic following that although the body undergoes difficulties and has the above restrictions imposed upon it ,  the consciousness is only  the witness to it .

So intelligence should calculate  why am I suffering birth , death, old age, and disease  and all the accompanying miseries akin to it ?

The Vedas itself explains scientifically what the material energies constitution is and the laws of nature that operate , as well , why they are set in place . Essentially, the Vedas explains why those  living beings find themselves in the predicament they do .

To live in an environment where the consciousness and the energy that surround it are of the same nature is required,  Lord Krishna and Srimati Radharani, and their associates do not possess “karmic ” material bodies .

When one chants Hare Krishna,  this means that we want to bring Radha Krishna together and help and participate in Their ecstatic pastimes, assisting them in every way,  by doing so we automatically become satisfied , as for example the leaves of the tree as satisfied when the root of the tree is watered.

The books of the Param Para teachers tells  all , Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is most expert at teaching Vedic wisdom to Western audiences.

Can a microbe living in a petri dish conceptualise anything of the world outside his dish ,  the laboratory where the petri dish resides  , or the  town the laboratory is situated , everyone one would probably give the same resounding answer….NO !

Could a frog born in a well conceptualise the oceans , he has some experience of water after all , and theoretically   could compare his experiences of the water within his  well to the oceans of the world , he might say is the ocean 10 times or 100 times or 1000 times bigger than my well  ? , his well is his only reference point, after all , which most definitely are only his own limited experiences.

Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita wherever the mind wonders bring it back under the control of the self . A mind is limited, and so too the intelligence,  but the Vedas say  not the consciousness , in the sense that consciousness can connect to the origins of the consciousness . What are the origins of consciousness,  must be another consciousness,  in our experience life comes from life .The mind and intelligence are not per say consciousness origins,  but are temporary expressions of it .

In the Srimad Bhagavatam, there are passages describing great souls leaving their bodies at the time of death . How they, before reaching Goloka Vrndavana ,which the Vedas says is the top most planet in a spiritual realm ,   pass through the many different planetary systems , both  lower , middle, and higher and traversing  on they are carried by the speed of their pure minds , past all the heavenly  abodes ,  past  Lord Bramha’s abode ,the chief engineer of this universe,  past all the Vaikuntha planets , which are also parts of the spiritual realms .  The great souls watch all those  various planet’s  pass by before them and then  reach  their destined abode , Goloka Vrndavana.

These passages given in the Bhagavatam bring an understanding of the inconceivable  vastness of the material and spiritual realms . It is said that to understand  Krishna or Divinity  it is imperative to  accept that He possesses inconceivable energies . We are like a microbe of consciousness,  God is like the size of the Sun if we want to draw comparisons.

So intellectually using  rationale , we should accept that just as the microbial creature in his petri dish could never have capacities to understand anything of the vastness of his laboratory  , or Dr Frogg PHD could never really understand the vastness of the oceans by using his well as a comparison . A sane person will  accept the  limited senses , limited mind , as well as  limited intelligence ,  and they obviously limit our capacities . Not to say we should not use our God-given intelligence to advance our understanding .God gives intelligence to understand and realise something of a spark of His unlimited opulences.  We should definitely do so , Oxford and Cambridge universities originated  for that purpose . We should understand how great our universe is. But the true greatness of Divinity is beyond our capacity to understand , although a fraction may be comprehended perhaps.   The Vedas says  His  very sweet personality , which He is only more than willing to share , along with His playful and artistic nature, can greatly expand, allowing the limited to begin to directly relate with the unlimited . Understanding Divinity is a decending process rather than an ascending one .

In regards to children’s education …and childhood reading matter such as …
Alice in wonderland etc etc .

Yes , like all ” fairy tales,” they have an element of the metaphysical higher planes in mind . This essential element to consciousness development in children should never be dumbed down or quietened in any way or reeplaced by a one-sided view of the world , namely scientific materialism or Darwinian hypothoisis
Expanding both children’s imagination and their understanding of the objective world that they are part of , will be meaningful for them . It will be essential to also illustrate what in anyones mind is the very obvious order of nature . Math and highly organised systems in all living things can not be denied , and teaching that is good honest teaching .Let the children in time come to their own conclusions .
We currently teach our children in many cases scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis as fact based science . Richard Dawkins goes so far as to suggest we lie to ourselves , that if we see design and order in nature …..we should ignore it . The BBC was at it last night , presenting Darwinian evolution in unquestionable ways …so so ignorant and conceited , we do have a problem with children’s education, I feel.

When free will is  granted, it comes with many possibilities.

In our own lives, our intelligence adapts and remains responsive to the many possibilities that may occur in our day . Every single creature has this ability in one way or another  to adapt and exhibit free will.

Now scale up  to the unlimited and ever expanding macro universal order , the Vedas indicate that although one God has simultaneously and inconceivably become one and different , ie , remaining the  absolute personality of Godhead without diminishing Himself  in any way but still expanding Himself  into the  many . Naturally, in doing so He has  left His traits of free will within all of His unlimited parts and parcels , you could say like father like son .

Being supremely intelligent , naturally He is responding to the many possibilities that come along with a free will . Take the example of governments all over the world , in creating facility for enjoying and living , but always alongside are systems of justice .  Along with free will comes a degree of governance and compliance and a need for management of risks .  When free will becomes harmful to itself and others , steps are naturally taken within governmental systems and likewise in the universal machine of Divinity.

In the Vedas this governance,  compliance, and risk assessments, along with  management, are all described very nicely in logical and rational ways that are easy to understand.

The need for the material worlds are a direct result of free will , God does not directly cause this material world we do . Srila Jiva Goswami makes that clear in his Bhagavat Sandarbha. The many possibilities that occur within the material world of the individuals  cause the universal affairs to automate and facilitate free will and perfect tailor-made arrangements that are  deliberately legislated , namely your next body and its karmic synchronicities are set in play.   It’s so perfect that, along with free will and determinism , comes more free will and determinism that is set in motion according to a long distant  past, and many of them ,  and our present activity  that will determine the next episode of our exhibition of the many possibilities of our free will.

Divinity invites us at any time to join His family, and break the cyclic cycle,  where the perfection of free will is exhibited based on nothing more than unmotivated pure love , increasing  in beauty  , described in the Vedas as the 64 excellences of artistic emotional rasa that are  always on  exhibition , unbounding perfections  in a  super subjective higher spiritual planes
