Life is a Continuity: There is a continuity, which is life, of which we are a part, and we are not just X, Y, Z or A, B, C sitting here; it is not like that. If we open our eyes to fact, we will be surprised that we have been living a foolhardy life up to this time, and now the time has come when we have to be serious.

We cannot take things lightly. Life is precious. We cannot take it as a joke. Every mo...

While emotion may lead us to love and hatred, the scientific attitude leads us to knowledge and understanding. This is sankhya tattva, and acting on the basis of this under...

When you undergo this discipline for a long period of time, you will become frightened and feel that it is impossible. If I ask you to stay here for one year and practise this discipline, you will be afraid of it and want to go home as early as possible. This condition is described in the first chapter of the Bhagavadgita, when you feel like do...
