Books Scriptures Bhagavadgita & Hinduism Commentary on the Bhagavadgita: 3.2. Discourse 3: The Second Chapter Begins – Sanhkya Yoga Swami Krishnananda. ==================================================================================================== Without going into further details of this complex subject, we may conclude that we are essentially consciousness. This consciousness is the chaitanya shakti, or the chaitanya purusha, which is indivisibly present, and not divisible under any circumstance. The Sankhya takes up the stand on the presence of an indivisible consciousness it calls purusha in its own terminology. The essence of the matter is that consciousness is indivisible, and it cannot be cut into pieces. There cannot be a fraction of consciousness, because any assumption of it being possible to divide consciousness into parts wou...

Books Bhagavadgita & Hinduism The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharatham and the Bhagavadgita: 2.1 Swami Krishnananda Next: Chapter 2: Challenges of the Spiritual Seeker -1. ==================================================================================================== Chapter 2: Challenges of the Spiritual Seeker -1. The power of sadhana does not gain adequate confidence until divine powers collaborate with it, and God Himself seems to be at the back of the seeker of God. We have been noting a great epic symbol in the Mahabharata, wherein we are given the narration of the adventure of the spirit in its struggle for ultimate freedom. The wilderness of the forest life that the Pandavas had to undergo is a great lesson to the spiritual seeker. No one can escape the ups and downs of life, the vicissitudes of time through which the ancient sages and saint...

Commentary:  Swami Krishnananda. ================================================================================================== यद्भावयति चित्तेन नरः सर्वात्मना सदा । तदेव जायते शीघ्रं यथा कीटो मृदालये ॥१२॥ 12.  One soon becomes that on which he constantly meditates with great intensity in accordance with the illustration of the wasp and the worm. The illustration of the Bhramara and the Kita is taken to explain the method of Vedantic Meditation. Even as the worm due to its fear from the sting of the wasp constantly meditates on the form of the wasp knowing not when the dreaded creature will come, and thus through self-hypnotisation becomes possessed of the form of the wasp itself, the spiritual aspirant, through...

Books Bhagavadgita & Hinduism The Tree of Life: 1.3-  1.The Twofold Character of Cosmic Life-3. Swami Krishnananda ===================================================================================================== The gunas of prakriti are the forces which make us a stranger to our own life and aberrant in our own personality, and make us lose our own self. The powers that make us lose our own self and search for that which is not our self are the gunas of prakriti. Just as the sap of the tree moves outwardly in the direction of the ramification of branches, the sap of life moves outwardly in the direction of the ramification of experiences. Therefore, we seek infinitude of experiences. Variety is the spice of life. We are bored of monotony. We know very well we can sit for hours and hours in a movie theatre watching a variety of sound and colour, pa...
