===================================================================================== Thursday 25, Apr 2024 07:30. Chapter 6: Sankhya – The Wisdom of Cosmic Existence - 4. Post-25. ===================================================================================== Sri Krishna's point of view is that it is not possible to emphasise or stick to only one side of the matter. We are, as human beings, phenomenal as well as noumenal at the same time. We are immortal, and also seized with death. Something in us will not die, and something in us dies. We speak of ourselves in two ways: We are bound to die one day, and we are imperishable. The imperishability of our nature has to be reconciled with our perishable nature. The phenomenal aspect of our personality is the relative aspect of it, which is bound to transform itself continuously in the process of time, and this process is called birth and death. But metaphysically, noumenally, we are imperishable. The fear of death itself is the p

Swami Krishnananda (Spoken on September 18th, 1974.)  ==================================================================================== Let each one close one's eyes for a few minutes and probe into one's own conscience. Am I in harmony with myself so far as my thought, speech and action are concerned? Do I not speak something which I do not really mean in my mind? Is my action not in harmony with my deepest demands of conscience? When there is a diversity of movement among the three functions – thought, speech and action – there is a split personality created within ourselves. We are not a complete whole. We develop psychopathic conditions. When the discrepancy among thought, speech and action is not very serious, it does not disturb us very much. But when it becomes a habit or second nat

The path selected for him lies in between Sankhya Yoga and Kamya Karma.  Sankhya Yoga is yet beyond his reach and he has passed the stage for Kamya Karma. Arjuna  is thus a ripe candidate to begin the spiritual path with Karma Yoga. He has a long way to  go, but at least he has qualified himself for it by realizing the futi

Chapter 6: Sankhya – The Wisdom of Cosmic Existence - 3. Post-24. ===================================================================================== Sthitva 'syam antakale 'pi brahmanirvanam rcchati (Gita 2.72):  Even if at the time of passing from this world – for a moment at least – you are established in this state, you will not be reborn into this world. If you can be blessed with this vision, this perception of the universe, even at the last moment when you are quitting this world, that would be blessedness. You will enter into the Absolute. The quantity or the length of life that you have wrongly lived in this world will not affect that quality of perception, even if it comes to you at the end of life. This is
