Article Scriptures Spiritual Evolution According to the Bhagavadgita - 2.  Swami Krishnananda (Spoken on February 24th, 1973) Post-2. ===================================================================================== But the highest form of knowledge is mentioned in a verse of the Bhagavadgita. Sarvabhūteṣu yenaikaṃ bhāvam avyayam īkṣate, avibhaktaṃ vibhakteṣu taj jñānaṃ viddhi sāttvikam (BG18.20): Sattvic knowledge is the highest kind of knowledge which does not perceive an interconnectedness of objects as if they are independent by themselves though cooperative among themselves, but recognises a fundamental basic universal Being at the background of this cooperation, relativity and interconnectedness. This is far above the tamasic individuality of selfishness. This is sattvic knowledge. Here is the distinction among these knowledges. The lowest type of kn...

Article Scriptures Stabilising the Mind in God: The Twelfth Chapter of the - Bhagavadgita: 2. Swami Krishnananda (Spoken on June 26, 1983) Post-2. =========================================================================================== Before listening to what Arjuna has to say in this regard, the good teacher that Sri Krishna was says, “If you cannot do this, I shall tell you another, easier method.” How could we think of omnipresence? We will melt away into liquid in a moment if we start thinking in this manner. We will not be there at all. We will expire like burnt camphor. Who will tolerate this predicament? We cannot imagine this possibility. “All right, leave it. If you cannot do this, I shall suggest to you another way.” Atha cittaṁ samādhātuṁ na śaknoṣi: If you cannot practise the stabilising of your mind in the manner mentioned, what s...

Article Spirituality The Duty of Karma Yoga: Cooperating with Our Higher Self: 2. Swami Krishnananda (Spoken on October 14, 1984) Post-2. ===================================================================================== The question of becoming another thing is certainly unimaginable to the ego. We have to cease to be in order that we may be another. Now, this is humanly impossible. No one can be another by being nothing in one's own self because that is the complete annihilation of one's own self, the total abolition of the ego and a nihil as far as one's own self is concerned. “I am not, and Thou alone art,” seems to be the instruction embedded in this initial verse. Fix yourself in Me: mayy eva mana ādhatsva. Let your mind and your intellect be in Me: mayi buddhiṃ niveśaya. And then what happens? You shall be in me: nivasiṣyasi ma...

Article Scriptures The Language of the Bhagavadgita: 2.  Swami Krishnananda (Gita Jayanti Message spoken on December 26, 1982) ==================================================================================== In religious lore and in mystical circles we hear of God giving darshan or vision to yogis, to disciples, to Gurus, to devotees, and to all those who look to Him for succour. In the Puranas we have instances galore of God giving vision to tapasvins, to devotees, and He speaks. How does He speak? In what language? God can give vision to any person in any country, speaking any language, and it does not mean that He will give vision only to people in India. But how does God speak? This is the difficulty felt by human language, or mortal tongue, in actually deciphering the way of God in relation to man. This is the reason why commentators on th...

Article Scriptures The Three Types of Discipline of the Bhagavadgita: 2.  Swami Krishnananda. (Spoken on September 18th, 1974) ====================================================================================== The first six chapters deal with what we may call self-discipline. The second six chapters deal with a vaster and more comprehensive type of discipline, a self-discipline in relation to the whole of the world outside, which takes into consideration not only the individual personality of one's own self but also the world in which one is situated, or of which one is a country. The third discipline is universal discipline, which is the pinnacle that we have to reach in this divine practice of coordination which we have to establish within and without. As I mentioned, the first six chapters deal with personal discipline. They deal with the individual, the pe...
